Imitation Precious Stones.

From Cassell's Family Magazine.
The really beautiful imitation stones made
in Paris consists of a very pure, transparent,
and lustrous glass, called Strass after it's
inventor which is frequently colored with
the same metallic oxides as real precious
stones Thus the color of the topaz is OBJ
tanned from antimony and gold; that Of the
ruby from purple of Cessius "a stannate of
tin, with stannate of oxide of gold), OF
from solution of gold in aqua regia nitro
muriatic acid). The well known Bohemian
ruby glass is colored with gold, while the
ordinary red glass is produced by copper.
and a commoner kind by iron. Some Of
the finest yellow glass is covered with sill
yer. The first precious stone to be sue
.cessfully produced BY artificial means was
the lapis lazuli, the sapphire Of classical
times, but by no means to be confounded
with the sapphire of the modern jeweller,
though closely related to it. Lapis

The speeches made were of high tone and

After Mcpherson had secured the reception of
Of petition Of the land league Of New Jersey and
OF New York respecting Michael Boynton and
it's reference to the committee on foreign rela-
tons, which Mr.. Hoar allowed to pass despite
the fact that the Republican caucus resolutions
had not been adopted. Bayard took the floor.
He heldit during two hours while he delivered
careful, thoughtful vindication of the present
attitude Of the Democrats There was nothing
very novel in it, but it was an eloquent, states
manike speech
Sherman replied to him at considerable
length in the same reasonable manner. He took
pains to reiterate that there had been no bar
gain between Malone and the Republicans, and
to affirm again his unalterable determination
to stand by the new ally and to welcome with
open arms all who like him should break away
from bourhanism in the South. Mcpherson
followed Sherman with some more or less par
hsan queries about the status of Malone as
representative of political party in Virginia,
which had supported Hancock. Sherman an
swered him in brief and Hoar in full.
There was quite an animated colloquy be-
tween Bayard and Hoar, and then the senate
adjourned, as usual without having transacted
any business
The president, however, broke the dead
lock between himself and the senate
by sending in the following nominations:
Price of Iowa commissioner Of Indian affairs,
vice Thomas NJ Nichol, whose nomination was
withdrawn on request; Absolem Blythe, Unit
ed States marshal, South Carolina; United
States attorneys, S. w. Mellon, South Carolina !;
receiver of public moneys, John Lind, Tracy,

Secretary Window in Wall Street.

new York Telegram, LIST.
Secretary Window met to-day several prom
inent bankers and business men to discuss the
policy of advisement in regard to the national
bonds, and to the best mode Of marketing the
i per cents. he is authorized to issue. The first
conference was with members of the old syndi-
cate. At the outset. said the Tribune's report,
the secretary announced that he shou Id not de-
eide at present on the future course He wished
to hear the views Of those present
Secretary Window was asked by a Tribune
reporter, after the conference, if he had reached
any conclusion!as to the propositions presented
by him. 81 have really received no formal
propositions of any character" he replied.
ssHence there is really nothing to say. Every
thing is just as vague at present as it could be:
My conference with the bankers, merchants and
businessmenshas simply been an informal one,
and doubt if anything has been said thus far
of sufficient importance to lay before the cabi
net at it's next session"

Nelson and Lady Hamilton.
From the London News.

The death of Mrs. Horatia Nelson Ward
will probably rivive the old interest, per-
haps the old controversies, about Lady
Hamilton and Nelson. This nation, in a fit
of Pulitanism, did not behave gratefully to
the woman and the child whom Nelson be-
queathed to the counJrv. Lady Hamll-
ton was no saint. She was poor and I'M
educated girl, lowered with the fatal gift of
wonderful beauty and with many other
natural talents and accomplishments. Her
early life was no worse, gin spite Of explod-
ed ISLANDERS, her character and actions much
better, than might have been expected In
one way her fame is lnpershable. Her
beauty survives, triumph and immortal, on
the canvases of Romney, and in the we'll
known engravings after his pictures In
these her variety is infinite. She appears
as a beautiful English girl, in an English
park: as Cassandra, as Bacchante, as a
spinner with her distatf, in many another
character Of mythology, history. and actual
life. Her beauty colored all Romney's
work, and lent q grace to his pictures Of
otherss ladies which keep Renaissance Of

Her enemies and his Invented tales and dis
torted facts which may be said to be dis
proved by MI. Paget in his essay on Lady
Hamilton It is difficult to believe that
Nelson cherished his .4eep and unbroken
affection for any woman who was not es-
sentially noble. She was left by England
to starve in a little French seaport. France
and Greece would have honored her like
Ninon and Aspasia. We do not say that
England ought to have done so, but there
i is mid-course between half deifying d
gifted and erring woman and leaving her to
squalid and exiled Indulgence.

There is conflict of authority in the depart
ment over details Of officers, for instruction in
the signal service. Both Gen. Sherman and
Gen. Hazen claim the right tomake them. Gen.
Sherman has carried his point, and an order has
been issued by the war department directing
that the details shall be made by the general of
the army. Gen Ha2en insists that he should
control the selection of those officers, and as
there are eight officers to be detailed for in
struction and duty with the signal corps, the
dispute is becoming Interesting to many officers
seeking the detail The late Gen. Meyers 80
manage. his affairs as to secure the detail Of
officers loyal to him, in whom he reposed con-
fdence. Gen. Hazen is naturally disposed the
same way, and he urge: his views upon Secre-
tary Lncoia with great pertinacity. Secretary
Lincoln, however, inclines to the opinion that
the general of the army is the proper person to
regulate this matter, and that the chief sig
nal officer should have no authority to select
officers for detail on duty under him.

CONGRESSIONAL.
MONDAY. APRIL 4.

The proceedings of the senate to-day were
very mOnOtOnOus. Senator Johnson delivered
a two hours harrangue on the Virginia ques-
ton, which emptied the seats and filled up the
record, and the tedium was then relieved by
calling the roll on motions to go into executive
session, to adjourn, to 8, $50, 10, 1880, IL,
1l:3O, 12:45 o'clock, and to take recess for
two weeks

squarely on the resolution, and thus end the
farce by quiet submission to the will of the
majority; but the farce went on, all the same,
until the hour of adjournment. leaving the Re
publicans determined, united and enthusiastic,
and the Democrats united but disgusted, and
longing for some way out short of an ignoble
surrender.
Everybody's prediction made last night as to
what the Republicans senate caucus would do
this morning have been smashed The caucus
not only did not agree to go into executive ses-
sion, did not throw Riddleberger overheard, or
propose compromise It pursued an exactly
opposite policy.
TUESDAY, APRIL ..
There was a little nervousness gu the repub-
ican side at the opening of the senate to-day,
caused by the absence Of several senators, and
1t was feared for a few moments that the demo-
cratic proposition to go into executive session
might prevail, but the timely arrival Of Malone
ana several Others While the roll was being
called, quoted all apprehension. So close is
the senate, and so closely do the roll calls fol-
low each other sometimes that senators do not
dare to leave the room without temporarily
pairing.
little excitement was occasioned by the
presentation of petition through Sem
atOr Mcpherson, stating Michael
Boyton, citizen Of the United States,
had been arrested and thrown into prison by
the British government on vague charges of in
citing crime and violence, and had been denied
the right to q trial before a jury of his peers,
and calling upon congress to demand that the
his protection. The republicans objected to
the reception Of the petition. Speeches were
made by republicans In favor Of holding out,
and an adjournment took place without trans
acting any businesA
