which-really more appropriate than
anything else, is not employed in such

The Republicans have not gone into

FIELDS "REMINISCENCES OF GAR
FIELD

David Dudley Field has this little
Renaissance of conversation in Cen
trail Park few years ago with Charles
n. Dana to relate:
Dana was with RoSecrans at the bat
tie of Chickamauga. Dana had started
back from that broken wing of the
army to reach Chattanooga; almost
everything was in confusion and il was
everybody for himself. While riding
along the road Dana overlook Garfield,
who had been ROsccrans' chief of staff.
They were on good terms, Mr. Dana,
think, living in the field at
that time. While they were riding
along together, the sound of guns
was heard at considerable distance,
and they stopped to listen. Garfield
said 10 Dana: Those are Gen. Thomas
guns he is standing his ground. must
go to Gen. Thomas" And with that
Garfield spurred up his horse, leaving
Dana in the road, and gallOped across the
country TO where Thomas was establish
ing his reputation as the rock of Chicka-
manga. Dana told the story to me, and
said he had been much affected by Gar
fields devotion and soldicrly resolution,
and he made the same impression on me
when he told the tale.

POTTERY MANUFACTURING.

The Hon. John. L. Blake gives the
following interesting information con-
corning the manufacture of pottery in
this country: THE industry is one of
comparatively recent origin in this
country. Porcelain clay was discovered
in Vermont in 1910, and, in 1925,
porcelain ware was first made, in the
city of Philadelphia, from kaolin,
found in Chester county Penn. About
30 years ago there was but one pottery
IN L. S, all the flint and stone being
imported from Great Britain. 1t was,
perhaps, five years later when the manu-
facture of white ware was introduced
mt Trenton, n. ]. Since then, and
particularly since the outbreak of the
recent war, the progress of the trade has
been very rapid. At present it is said
that there are 10 p0tteries in the United
States for the manufacture of white
ware, the same being located as follows
New Jersey, 81; OHIO 10; New York,
); Pennsylvania, 3; Massachusetts, /,
and West Virginia, /. The capital
employed is estimated st $6,000000,
and the annual production is of at least
equal amount. New Jersey represents
one-half of this capital, and employs
about 5000 hands, paying them, in
wages, S1,5O0,OOO per annum. Such
wages range from 81 TO $3.50 per day
And it is estimated that the labor so
employed receives 5315 per cent. of
the value of manufactured goods. II is
TO be borne in mind that these figures
do not include the manufacture of
common earthern; ware; nor the money
whether in the shape of capital or
wages engaged in the preparation of
materials for potters' use. OF equal
interest, but in an aesthetic point of view,
is the improvement which has been
made during the last 90 years in the
process and results OF the art The
wares now shown compare favorably
with the European kilns in excellence
of material, IN beauty of form, and in
good taste of decoration. 1t is no longer
necessary for us to initiate the foreign
trademark IN order to obtain "a ready
sale for our goods What has been the
result on the other side of the water?
Our impOrtatiOns have steadily fallen
of, For ID years, between 1866, (bOth
inclusive,) the average importation of
earthern and China ware was 81, 453, $50
per annum. For the twelve months
ending june so 1879 it was $4,O44,S75,
being more than 100000 less than the
average, and nearly S2,000,000 less than
the highest valuation in 1873"
