Pottery in the United states.

There are now eight hundred potteries
in the United States, the total products
of which supply fifty per cent. of the
wares annually consumed, the chief
centers of the industry being Trenton,
the capital of New Jersey, and East
Liverpool, in Ohio.
The former city offered peculiar
attractions to the potter, both from its
railways and canals connecting it with
the great cities of the Union, and it's
nearness to mines Of the raw material.
West and southwest lie the coal, kaolin,
spar and quartz mines of Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Maryland, and eastward
the fire and white clays Of New Jersey.
The clays Of Ohio, Missouri and
Indiana, and abundance of fuel, have
built up East Liverpool, making it the
ceramic center OF the West. For thirty
years it has been engaged in the manu-
fac ure OF the ordinary Rockingham and
yellow wares, furnishing the greater
portion of thetWo million dollars worth
annually produced in this country. It
was net until 1873 that white ware OF
any scription engaged the attention OF
the Liverpool potters to-day white

There is one sin which it seems to me
is everywhere and by everybody S.nder-
estimated, and quite too much over
looked in our valuations of characte err.
1t is the sin of fretting. 1t is as common
as air, as speech; so common that uu-
less it rises above its usual monotone
we do not even observe it. Watch any
ordinary coming together of people, and
see how many minutes it will be before
somebody frets-Lhat is, makes . more
or less complaining statement of some
thing or other, which most probably,
every one in the room, or the stage, or
the car, or the street co ner, as 1t may
be, knew before, and Which most prob
ably nobody can help. Why say any
thing about itP IL is q Id, it is hot, it is
wet, it is dry; somebody has broken an
appointment, ill-cooked meal; stu
pidity or bad faith somewhere has
resulted in discomfort. There are
always plenty of things to fret about. 1t
is simply astonishing how much
annoyance and discomfort may be found
il the course Of every days living, even
at the simplest, If one only keeps a sharp
eve out on that side of things. Even
Holy Writ says we are born to trouble
as sparks fly upward, in the blackest OF
smoke, there is blue sky above. and
the less time they waste on the road the
sooner they will reach it. Fretting Is
all time wasted on the road Helen

There are many persons in the West

the mad stone. A lnan who was bitten

Wigwam and His Gate.

Mr.. Wigwam is q farmer, and recently
one of those agents that infest the coun-
try came along and tucked of upon him
an automatic gate. The gate was so
arranged that the weight of a person
approaching it would cause it to rise,
and when they had passed under it,
down it would come. This gate was
painted red, and the day after it was
put in position, a cross bull, owned by
Mr.. Wigwam, disco vered it. A bull
somehow has rooted antipathy for
that hue, and this animal no sooner dis
covered the gate than it made rush to
gore it. OF course, as the bull ap-
preached the gate, his weight caused it
to rise, and he passed under it, and his
failure to hit anything solid, seemed to
affect him about as 1t does man to 60
up dark stairway, and when he had
reached the top, think there is one stair
more, and step for it, and bring his foot
down SO hard that it makes the sole
tingle as ii slapped by q shingle, and
leaves the print of the boot on the floor
When the bull recovered little and
looked back and saw the gate, which
had come down, in its original position
he couldn't quite understand low he got
past it, and what had happened, and ne
stood and thrashed himself with his tail
and thought of it for minute. and then
tried it again. Same result Bull more
puzzled than ever and awful mad. An
other trial. Bullonly succeeds in roofing
his nose into the grou d. Bull almost
delirious with rage. Wigwan, who is
watching him from the house, in same
condition with laughter. The bull
evidently made up his mind to hit that
gate or die in the attempt, and lie tried
The thing seven more times, and yet the
gate stood there, every time, when he
looked back. Then having wrenched
himself and scrapei the hide off his
nose, and got quite out Of breath, the
animal became discouraged and drew
aside and merely watched the gate.
But Wigwam hadn't had enough OF
the fun. He took mirror, and went
ut and climbed upon the gate and
caught the sunlight on the mirror, ano
flashed it in the bulls eyes to madden
him. 1t did. The bull rushed once
more at the gate. Wigwam expected
the gate to rise up with him and let the
bull pass. But his weight held it down.
The bull hit the gate square. Wigwam
was knocked forty feet, and got his eyes
and mouth full OF dirt, and was badly
skun. The mirror was shattered. And
the bull caught both horns aud one foot
in the gate. which broke from its fasten-
ings, and he went madly careering
about with it, struggling to release him :
self, and Wigwam didn t dare go to his
rescue, and was too much hurt to do
anything, anyway, and finally the bull,
after tearing up everything in reach,
threw himself and broke his neck.
Loss, $500.
Wigwam lays all the blame on the
gate agent, which, perhaps, is natural.

Love In AM.


Name the leaves on all the trees;
Name the waves on all the seas.
AL the flowers by rill that blow,
Allthe myriad tints that glow,
Winds that wander through the grove
And you name the name OF love;
Love there is in summer sky,
As in light OF maiden's eye.
Listen to the countless sounds
In the wind that gaily bounds
Ger the meads where, on the wind,
Bright bees hum and linnets sing;
Pat OF raindrop, chat OF stream,
OF their song sweet loves the theme;
Love there is where zephyr skips,
As in breath OF maiden's lips.
In the vest mild evening glows;
Angel fingers told the rose;
Silvery dews begin to TALL;
Crimson shades to shadow all;
Holy nature wells her lace;
Earth is lost in heavens embrace
Love is in an hour like this,
As in guileless malden's kiss.
Go where, through the voiceless night,
Trips lair Lunass silver light;
Hear OF natures pulse that beat,
Like the thread OF unseen feet;
See from out the lamhent north
ShimmeriDg arrows shooting forth;
Love is in a meteor's start,
AS in throb OF maiden's heart.
Loves the essence OF all things;
IT'S from love that beauty springs;
Twas by love, creation first
Into glorious being burst;
Veiled IN maiden's form so fair,
I do worship thee in her.
Spirit sweet-all else above
Love is God, since God is love.

Singular DIscoyery Of Diamond.

Mr.. Jaddus Gogaien. OF Kent county,
and Mr.. Michael w Coughlin. OF New
castle, N. B., have gone to England,
principally to dispose Of q diamond, or
a supposed diamond, which was found
by Mr. Coughlin among the stones at
the ballast wharf, Newcastle. The sup
position is hat it was brought out from
the East Indies in ballast. The prize Is
oval.shaped, weighs thirty-five carats,
has appal emily very little outer crust,
and is colorless and not distinguish able
from water. 1t is transparent, and if it
is diamond of good quality, is very
valuable. It is said they were offered
$500 for the article in the North, but
refused. The arrangement by which
Mr. Gogaien became half owner in this
gem is to the effect that he pays the ex-
pensas Of the trip to England. by which
it is expected to effect sale. Mr..
Gogaien also takes about 100 pearls,

reap a rich harvest for their enterprise, if
there is any real merit in the Wood River

A

A contemporary says that ga number
Of Eastern tourists who arrived in this
city recently had a narrow escape last
Tuesday" We presume they were on
the verge of spending some money, says
the Daily Report, but managed to avoid
the financial precipice. Talking about
financial precipices, one of the Boston
e~xcursionists, a gentleman with the APP
pearance Of a banker and the manner Of
a Senator, entered one Of our fashionable
saloons the other day and laying a dime
upon the counter imperiously demanded
Of the bartender a " whisky sour" The
bartender tenderly informed him that
the price of a whisky sour was "two
bits" Surprised and rather disguised,
the tourist hesitated a moment, and then,
pushing the dime a little further toward
the till, said: well, give me a whisky
straight" ga whisky straight is also
two bits" was the astounding reply.
The hand of the Eastern millionaire
moved toward his pocket. Then the
millionaire paused; in an instant he was
himself again, and reaching out he re-
covered the dime and passed out into the
street. 1t was a narrow escape. Doubt
less he often shudders now when he
thinks how nearly a false pride led him
into squandering a whole-shilling.

PREACHING some 100000 has been sup

ment, because it takes the side of Ire

dictate American rights in the premises.
The memorial argues that if Great Bri-

clude every other American journal and
the United States can do the same with
the circulation Of British journals in this

construction of the postal treaty, it man.
