Comparatively few accidents have
troubled us this last week. Indeed,
were 1t not for couple of collisions in
broad daylight on the elevated, where,
happily, no one was hurt, and tor some
unusual disasters to sleighing parties,
the papers would be quite dull from the
absence of one Of their chief standbys

boys have coasted for n hundred years
without meeting more serious hurt than
. sprained ankle or, at most, cracked
head or broken leg. Now, however,
seven are killed in u moment by the
perverse gyrations of double bobsled
guided maIadroitly down a hill in one
of our Jersey suburbs, and girl and
two boys have been killed as swiftly i'm
Brooklyn in three different places. Like
other misfortunes, these, evidently, are
not fated to come singly.

POTTERY Ia the United States," in Earper'
Magazine for February, is one of the many
interesting articles of this number, and from
1t we CLEAN the following facts :-Havilaud, i,
the world-renowned manufacturer of the
finest China ware, whose pottery is located
at Limoges, France, was an American mer-
chant who, fifty years ago, went to Europe,
and stayed there, attracted by the excellence
of the kaolin in that vicinity, and because he
could find neither skilled workmen nor relia-
BILE clay at that time in this country. He en-
gagged competent instructors and organized
a training school, employing afterward the
most efficient among them. tits now believed
that the richest kaolins in the world, in addi-
tion to the abundant mines of quartz and
field spar, are located in America, in mex
haustablc beds. Tennessee has its lithomarge;
Wyoming its beds of moist brown, black,
blue, grey. red, and yellow clays Alabama
and Ohio treasures of tinted earths, and
Southern Illinois has pink, yellow, and white
kaolins so that with the schools of design
and the mania for decorative painting, it is
expected that tue potteries of Trenton, n. j.
and East Liverpool, Ohio, will not long hence
produce China equal to the imported wares.
