The leading article in the North american
Reviep for March is by ex>Judge Jere. S.
Black. and is entitled The Third Term, being
reply to ex-senator Howe's paper on that
subject in the Review for February. Mr..
Black holds that to elect General Grant to a.
third term of Office in the presidential chair
would be violation of q custom that Is.
stronger than any laws or constitutions what
ever; that it would in effect be the end Of
our republican Institutions, and the INSTALL
ment of empire. Hon. f. w Stoughton fol-
lows Mr.. Black, taking precisely the contrary
view, that not only is third term not o
thing to be deprecated, but that il is emf.
nently desirable, especially if as in General
Grants case, an interval of time nae elapsed
between the second term and the third. A
timely article by David A. Wells aims to prove
that discriminating income tax is essentially
Communism, and that this is specially true Of
such an income tax as was levied in the
United States by Acts of Congress in 1868
and succeeding years. The fourth article is
by Rev. DR.. Bellows, and treats of Civil Ser
vice Reform. The author recounts what has
been done in Britain :, reform the civil SER
vice of that country, aad shows how the ex-
perience Of British statesmen may be turned
20 advantage by American lawmakers. Prof.
Simon Newcomb, in an article on Our Polti-
cal Dangers, calls attention to the need of
some non-political tribunal for the determine
ton Of contested elections. He looks on the
presidential struggle of three years ago, and
the recent excitement in Maine, as symptoms
attic of diseased political condition which
calls for remedies very different from those
which have hitherto been employed. J ohm

spirited reply to Froude's recent article on
Romanism and the Irish Race in America

belle of q certain suburb not a 100
nni'as from Charinn Cross. and ia
renowned not only for her charming
figure aud exquisite taste in dress,
bat also fos her grace and skill as a
skater, was fascinating q host of ad-
mirers and msddenipg with jealousy
host of rivals by her feats upon
the ice, when she suddenly stumbl-
ed and fell. A score of chivslrous
gallants sped to the rescue, but be-
fore one OF them could reach her
she had regained her feet. She was
wearing q Canadian skating cos
tune. 1t unfortunately happened
10 this case that in endesvoring to
save herself the lady ripped her
stocking with the point of her skate.
She was not however aware of the
m'shap, and glided away fir, m her
rCscuers with her usual graceful
rspidity. As che sped along in
conscious triumph strange sound
reached her ears, ominousiy like a
suppressed laugh. She cast glance
back, and / leave you TO imagine
her feelings when she saw her course
was marked by q long trail OF saw
dust. The shspely limb to which
the wounded stocking belonged was
fast losing its symmetry, and the
secret of its shapelinsss stood reveal
ed. Enough; / draw the veil over

she will skate much near London

NEW USES FOR sLAG.-The Stag
from blast furnaces is about three
times greater than the iron from
which it is separated in the fusiDg
process. What to do with it, has
long been a puzzle with iron masters.
But by recent discovery, it is now
considered valuable, By grinding
and mixing it with cement,it becomes
a good material for building bricks.
These can be made in an ordinary
brick machine by pressure, require
no burning, and are said to be in
comparably tough and serviceable.
Other proportions of the pulverIzed
Stag and cement make an artificial
stone of great fneness and strength,
and capable of being moulded into
the most delicate forms. A still
more remarkable conversion of the
Stag, is that by which it yields what
is called "silicate cotton" strongly
resembling cotton wool. This SIM
pie beautiful substance is obtained
by the simple means of turning q jet
of steam on the molten Stag. The
steam tears up the surface and car
ries off its fragments, in the form of
a fine wooly fibre, into an air cham
Der, where il is deposited and subse
quently collected. This singular sub.
stance is found to be excellent for
packing into mattresses for the pro.
lection of steam boilers, preventing
the radiation of heat. The vitreous
character of the Stag renders it suit
able for glass manufacture. 1t is ex-
traordinarily tough, and in that par.
ticular well fitted for the production
of bottles and other kinds of glass.
ware which are exposed to constant
hard usage. 10 the art of tougher.
ing glass some remarkable discover
les have been made within a few
years. Glass is now for some purpos
es substitute for iron. 1t has been
successfully applied in England as
sleepsrs and chairs on railways, and
there are hopes that it may yet prove
strong enough tor rails. II more
brittle than iron, it is thought to be
more durable. 1t rs far cheaper than
that metal. Sanguine inventors pre-
dict that mechanics tools and many
other articles now made exclusively
of steel, will yet be manufactured
from glass, and not be inferior to
the present ones, while far less ex.
pensive. For these higher uses of
glass the blast furnace Stag is said to
be peculiarly adapted, requiring less
of the extra toughening process than
il is necessary to give to common
glassiu order to produce the same re-
suits.
