A ROBE OF GLASS. In the large basement
room of the home of S, Isaacs at No. l.
434 Mission street. between Tenth and
Eleventh, is now weaving the most wonder
full fabric of which the voluminOus history of
unique feminine apparel furnishes any ac-
count. 1t is the material, as flexible as the
finest of silk and as durable as Blue Jeans
Williams's favorite stuff for trousers, for a Ia
dy's dress and it is woven by the world-re-
nowned artist in glasswork, Professor Theo-
dore Greiner out of innumerable colored
strands of glass first spun by himself, Com
pared with the completed garment, the myth
ical glass slipper of the fabulous Cinderella
will sink into as vulgar an insignifcance as an
exhausted Napa soda bottle. A Chronicle re-
porter called ON him recently, and he very
courteously showed him the entire process.
Breaking am extra piece out OF the soiled bot
tom of an already broken tumbler, he submit
ted it to the heat of blow-pipe until it be-
came incandescent and soft. Then with
stick" of glass he touched the molten por-
tion, and with an expert motion which may
be described as a flip he carried thread so
fine that it was almost invisible till it caught
on the disc of a slowly revolving wide wood
en- wheel of nineteen feet circumference. At
a certain number of revolutions the strand was
complete and the wheel was stopped and 1t is
removed 1t then consisted of innumerable
softly glistening threads, finer than the finest
of floss These strands are spun of all colors,
and are then washed in a solution of water and
beet-root sugar, which toughens them. The
spinning is all done and occupied many weeks.
The weaving is done ON an old-fashioned
hand-loom, the warp being nineteen feet long
and the woof four feet, so that the material
viii cut to advantage Only about ten inches
a day can be woven, and the whole piece will
not be completed until some time in April

The BUSINESS TACT AND ECONOMY OF THE
NATIVE CHINESE MERCHANTS is such that they
are gradually yet surely crowding the English
and American merchants out of the foreign
trade which the latter were expected to mo-
nopolze upon the opening of the Oriental
ports to the outside world. The native agents,
whom the foreigners We're obliged to employ
as purchasers of tea and other products, form
ed an organization among themselves,
added their own commissions and got control
of the market, The sugar trade of Annoy and
Formosa, formerly the source of handsome
income to a number of foreign houses, has
gone entirely into Chinese hands. In Saigon,
the capital of Cochin China the Chinese ship
nearly all the rice. There are more than 10O,-
600 Chinese in Singapore and they constant
ly increase, while the Europeans are dimin-
ishing in numbers They have gained foot
hold in Java, in spite of Dutch eXelusiyeness.
They are trading successfully in Manila,
British Burmah, Calcutta and other Indian
cities, and at the present rate of growth it
will not be long before the Chinese will con-
troll the whole foreign trade of their country,
have their own lines of steamers and manu-
facture everything needed for home con-
sumption

a great deal of feeling. This branch was es-

A CHECK FOR ONE CENT-The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
writes 1.-The much-abused George c. Cor
ham, whose spirits are of the lightest and
whose friendships are of the strongest, closed
his accounts as Secretary of the Senate on
Tuesday. After II years service, during
which he has disbursed many millions-for
the United States Senate is the most expen-
sive legislative body on earth-he closes his
account for the first time. 1t was found at
the department that there was ! cent owing
him. In an official letter. which had to be
copied, recorded, numbered, &C., the United
States Treasurer notified Gorham of the bal
ance on settlement, and requested that he
would draw his check for the amount With
the same precision as though s 100000 was
at stake the check was drawn. A messenger
conveyed it to the Treasury. The books
were searched to see if the amount was to
Gorham's credit and then the cent was paid
n great, big copper one, which Gorham pro
poses to keep for luck forever. 1t seems that
had he not drawn the balance it would have
gone ON forever among the liabilities of the
Treasury, and occasioned any amount oftroub-
lie to the clerks"

Miscellany,


Haste, hoary Winter! Loose thy weary chain
From the dun heavens and the dcadcucd earth,
That the soft bloom Of flowers the gladson.c birth
OF bloss'my Spring may visit us again.
No feathery leaflets nuttor ON the line;
No nowcr-buds, bursting, gem the svard beneath;
No soug-birds warble with melodiuus breath,
As in the Joyous flush u summertime
Thy touch hath chilled the preenuess from the bougl
Robbed the still forest Of its pleasing shade;
Thy wild breath swept the flowers from the glade,
Aud birds have fed to halmicr regions now.
Then haste thee, in Thy ice-whcelod ear, away
To the cr-caryeu deserts OF the North,
That the Quocn-mailcn Spring may venture forth,
And gladden. hill and meadow with her sway.
In her soft hands a hclkcr hrimmtd with iuds:
On her soft lips a burst of youthful song:
The sunshine ia her shudelos- eyes among
The sleeping toughs shall quicken all the woods.
Then shall the joyous merle mid sprays
OF piuk-fushod hawthorn Join tue lhlu's gee,
And the ad thrush sing soft from tn tree,
Filing tine clear air with bis loyufgl lays.
1hon shall The stream make gentle muuuuriHr,
In amber light between nrW-hlussumcd trees,
And all the butt, lflics aud golden bees
WiuuUw the warm air iu the wake OF Spring.
Along the green bank, on the velvet sod,
All bright with flowers, my daily walk shall ho:
And these shall turn my thankful heart to Thee,
Their painter and their maker, who art God.

The article on the Cipher Dispatches
which Mr.. Edward S. Holden of the United
States Naval Observatory contributes to the
April number of the International RecieiO, is
one which no person, Republican or Demo
crat, who had his interest or curiosity in any
wise aroused III regard to these dispatches
can afford not to read. Written in style at
once clear and vigorous, and singularly spir-
tied throughout, it is the most concise and in
telligihle exposition Of this complex and in
teresting episode in our political history
which has yet appeared, Mr., Holden, it will
be remembered, was employed by Congress
to decipher these famous messages, and no
one can have a more thorough knowledge of
them than he possesses. lie writes as one
completely filled with his subject Eyenapart of
the special interest impaired by reason of the
especial ciphers which he discusses, the arti-
Gle would be very interesting rs a dissertation
upon the science of ciphers in general.

$500. Mr.. Livingston bought them of

this movement to abolish the liquor
agency was started and is being pushed
bv men who are opposed to prosecu-
ting the liquor sellers. They have
however roped in some good temper

not uncommon to see small piece of

in this way. But the first bonnet by
mail came to Postmaster Carpenters
office one day last week. The band
box was rather demoralized, but the
bonnet was in fair condition. Here is
