Cutttng Glass win scissors.

Many persons may not be aware that
glass CAN be cut dnder water with great
ease to almost any shape by simply using
Il pair of shears or strong scissors. In
order to insure success two points must
be attended to. First and most important,
the glass must he kept quite level i'm the
water while the scissors are applied, ANIL
secondly, to avoid risk, it is better to be-
gin the cutting by taking off small pieces
ut the corner and along the edges, and so
reduce the shape gradually to that re-
quired, as ifany attempt is made to cut
the glass all at once to the shape as we
could cut piece of card board, it will
most likely break where it is not wanted. =
Some kinds of glass cut much better than
others, the softer glasses being the best
for this purpose. The scissors need not
he at all sharp, as their action does not
appear to depend on the state of the edges
presented to the glass. When the opera
ton goes on well, the glass breaks away
from the scissors in small pieces in a
straight line with the blades. This method
of cutting glass has often been of service
when a diamond has not been ar hand
for cutting OVals and segments, and
though the edges are not so smooth as
might be desired for some purposes. vet
it will answer i'm great many cases. The
hints given above, if strictly followed
will always insure success.

The south CarOIina-EV way OF Removing
Officer

The Postmaster at BIackville, S. c., was
Objectionable to Hamburg Butler and his
Democratic admirers in that region, and
they undertook to secure his removal by
the simple and direct process of assassin
alton. He was Objectionable because lie
was n cOlored man who had the grit to
stand up for his rights, ,and also because he
bad superseded a young woman who ran
the office chiefly as n Democratic cam
paign auxiliary. When the Blackville
Postmaster was shot and dangerously
wounded, the local authorities, being
Democrats, and therefore in full sympathy
with the plan of removal, refused to rem
der him any assistance, or to bring his
assailant to Justice; and if the latter is
punished at all it will be in plain viola
tion of the doctrine of State rights and by
| the centralized power OF the Federal Gov
ernment. While the slow process of JUS
! tice is going forward, there is another
and eminently desirable mode of redress
| within the province of the Postmaster
| General to enforce, and that's the clos
! ing altogether of the POst-office at Black
| vile, and it is gratifying to know that
| this will be done if necessary in order to
convince these Rebel bulldozers that in
| shooting the Postmaster they have fired
upon the Government of the United
| States, which is able and inclined to re-
| sent the indignity in suitable manner
! This plan was tried once in similar cir
cumstannes in Mississippi, and was en-
| tirely successful in bringing the YaZoo
| chivalry to a fitting sense of National su-
| premaCy so far as pOst-Offices are con-
! cerned, and it would doubtless work we'll
| i'm South Carolina.

when a Feejee islander or a Sioux In

takes his club, or gun, or tomahawk, and
proceeds TO slay the offender upon the
spot. Every man makes himself the
Judge of the ofense and of the penalty
and enforces his own decision. This is
barbarism. 1t is the practice of all un-
civilized people, whether in New York
or Georgia, or the isles of the sea. In the
lower stages of civilization there is q
modification of this practice, called the
dnel. 1t prevails among people who
without the virtues which are known as
Christian. call themselves ''men of hon

those who offended them, but they invite
the offender TO seize his gun or tomahawk
and take the chance OF killing or being
killed. This practice mas also disappear

General rsice,s Personal Bill.

1t certainly looks as if General Rice had
unblushingly stolen che credit of passing
the Arrears of Pensions bill. In recent
Interview he stated that he was author
of the measure. He introduced it, he
said, in the FOrty-fOurth Congress, aud
after passing the House il was killed in
the Senate by Senator ingalls,.
He introduced it again in the Forty
fifth Congress, and rs he SAYS, it passed
the House under his management, he be-
ing ut that time Chairman of the Commit
tee on Pensions, and subsequently, it
passed the Senate and became a law.
Now the real facts are these: Rice's
bill never passed either House of Con-
gress. The bill which became law was
introduced by Mr.. Cummings, of Iowa.
1t Is the House Bill No. 1924. 1t was in
trOduced April ,, 1873; June 18th it
passed the House. Previous to the
vote being taken, MIR. White, of Pennsyl-
vania, asked: "Cannot we understand
whether this is the bill that was reported
from the Committee on Invalid Pensions
or nOt?''
Mr.. Rice, of Ohio: ''I will state that it
is not the bill, have been trying to get
the bill reported unanimously from the
I Committee acted upon, but have failed to
| do sO.''
So this bill was not the one General
/ Rice introduced, as he himself declared,
June 10Th, 1873, and the same day Cum
mings' bill passed the House. January
/ l6, 1879, it passed the Senate and the
! President signed it the same day. Rice
reported his bill, No. 8258, February l3.
1878, and it now lies among the mass of
| unfinished business of the FOrty-tifth
! Congress. 1t authorized the Secretary of
the Interior to return to the rolls of in
| valid pensioners, the names stricken there
| from on account of dislOyaltY, and pro-
posed to repeal the following section, 471G,
| of revised statutes:
Ono money on account of pensions
! shall be paid to any person, or to the
| widow children or heirs of such person
who in any manner voluntarily engaged
| in, or aided or ahetted the Iate rebellion
against the authority of the United
| States.''
This section Rice's bill proposed to re-
peal. Mr.. Cummings bill did not, and
the latter is the only one that became a
law. Yet General Rice claims that he is
the author of the Arrears of Pensions
Bill. 1t appears to us a clear case of
| theft Marietta Register.

There is no accounting for tastes. Mrs.

lions, and now we hear of a Western
farmer who has dOmesticated a lot of
creatures that belong quite as appropri-

curious republic of Industrious hornets.

little hole in one of the panes of glass that
answers all purposes: BY this kind usage
they have become quite harmless. Thev
