WILLIAM Fl. ENGLISH delivered speech
before the recent Democratic State Conven-
ton of Indiana, which afforded so full a
statement of the plans, purposes and prihci-
Piles of the Democracy, that the Republi-
cans are determined to circulate it as a cam
paign document in the ensuing canvass.
Accordingly, the Republican State Central
Committee addressed Mr. English letter,
stating that if he would furnish 10000 cop
les of the speech, they would be carefully
distributed. Mr.. English, true to his parsi-
monious instincts, replies that he will fur
nish them at the committees expense.

covrnnon Foster, of Ohio, represents the

GOVERNOR Foster, OF ONO, represents the
narties in that State as being on the ev of
disruption on the question of temperance.
He also draws a most forbidding picture OF
the efforts of the liquor interest in Ohio, in
view of the strong public sentiment which
is being developed against them, to control
party politics. He says their acts are rap
idly developing into formidable rebellion.
They perceive that the profits of their bust
ness, amounting annually to S35,0O0,0O0, are
in danger of being swept away. Hence
their efforts are inspired by the necessity OF
self-preservation, to which they are willing
to sacrifice all former party affiliations.

The Marquis of Carabas. By Harriet Pres
colt Spofford Boston: Roberts Brothers;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony. This
novel is lyric of the sea, of passion, a song OF
light and color and romance; but scarcely is
actual enough to impress the reader with any
sense of personal interest in its story or char
soters 1t is at the height of Mrs. Spotford's
impassioned language and manner-yet her
talent seems better adapted to verse than to
prose, since in the former it finds its natural
expression and appears more healthful and ap-
propriate.

Microscopes.

The chief principles underlying the
construction of a microscope are two.
/. When rays of light pass through
convex lens they are bent toward each
other, so that at some point they come
together. 2. The eye measures OBJ
jects by the angle made by the rays of
light as they are brought together on
the retina, or optic nerve, in the back
of the eyeball, after they have passed
through the several convex lenses, and
concave-convex lenses of the eye itself.
A plano-convex lense is perfectly
transparent circular glass, fiat on one
side and spherical on the other. A
double convex lens is spherical on both
sides. A simple microscope is a single
lens, either plano-convex or double con-
vex. A compound microscope is com
posed of two or more lenses in tubes that
shut inside of each other, so as to be
adjusted to suit different eyes and OBJ
jects of various sizes. The rays of
light from the object pass through the
several lenses, being bent toward each
other at a greater and still greater an
gle as they pass each lens, until finally
they reach the eye, as if coming from
points much farther apart than the
points from which they started. Points
ON the object examined that are sepa-
rated by hairs breadth, or the forty
eighth part of an inch, when observed
through n microscope which magnifies
a thousand diameters, seem to be about
thirty-one inches apart. Simple micro
scopes. such as are used by botanists
for examining flowers and seeds, cost
so cents to $2 or 50. Compound mi
croscopes cost from So to $3.50 or more.
An instrument sufficient for nearly all
practical purposes costs from Sl3 to

The Manufacture or Tiles.

Tiles, being a thinner ware than
bricks, have to be made of purer and
stronger clay. They also require more
careful treatment, but the process of
manufacture is not essentially different.
There are many varieties of tiles, but
for practical purposes they may be re-
duced to three, namely, paving tiles,
roofing tiles, and drain tiles. In weather
ing, the clay is spread in layers about
two inches thickness during Winter.
and each layer is allowed the benefit of
at least one nights frost before the sue
ceeding layer is put upon it.
Sometimes the process is affected by
sunshine. The comminuted clay is next
placed in pits and allowed to mellow or
ripen under water. Then it is passed
through the pug mill, and the tempered
product cut in thin slices with n piece
of wire fixed to two handles, in order to
detect any stones, and then passed
through the pug mill again, after which
it is generally ready for molding. To
take the case of pan tiles (hand molded)
the molder turns the tile out of the fiat
mold on to the washington frame, on
the covered surface OF which, with very
wet hands, he washes it into curved
shape. The he strikes it with semi-cy-
lindrical instrument called the splayer,
and conveys it on this to the fiat block,
where he deposits it, with the convex
side uppermost, and removing the
splayer, leaves the tile to dry. The tile
is afterward beaten on the thwacking
frame, to correct any warping that may
have occurred, and trimmed with the
! thwacking knife. In the kiln, which is
constructed with arched furnaces at the
base of a conical erection called the
dome, the tiles are closely stacked in
upright position, on bottom of vitre
fed bricks. The fuel used is coal, and
burning continues usually about six
days. In making pipe drain tiles, the
clsy il first nodded to n proper length,
width, and thickness, then wrapped
aror1nd drum; the edges are closed to-
gether, and the tile is carefully shaped
by the operators hand, sometimes as
sisted by a wooden tool. Tiles as we'll
as bricks can be made by machinery :;
with suitable dies almost any form of
tile may be thus had which is product
bic by the advance of a given section of
/ clay parallel to itself. In other ma
chimes pressure is exerted on the clay in
a mold -Americah Pottery Reporter.

The Love Bng.

A California physician who discovered
new disease-love madness--has been
experimenting with the persons affiict-
ed Herewith, has produced the "love
parasite" or bBlIuS microcc,ts. This
he cultivated up to the twentieth gen
Grafton, and with the parasites of this
generation he inocculated. n number of
subjects The NEGOTIATIONS were in
variably successful, symptoms of the
disease appearing in very short time
after the operation. A bachelor, fifty
years old, on the first day after the in
occulation had his whiskers dyed, or
dered suit of new clothes and n set Of
false teeth, bought top-buggy, bot
tle OF hair restorer diamond ring and
n guitar, and began reading Byron's
poems. The inocculation produced
symptoms of the same nature IN Il
young lady of forty-fve. She laid out
five dollars at drug store for cosmet-
les, bought a lot of new hair and a
croquet set, sang, Empty Is the
Cradle" sent out invitations to party,
and complained that the Chico young
men did not go into society much. An
inocculated young youth of seventeen,
an employe in a country store, put up
a gallon of molasses iii fit of absent
mindedness, put the cat in the butter
tub. and threw some fresh butter out
of the window. Finally, he sat down
in basket of eggs while looking at
the photograph of pretty girl, and
was discharged for his carlessness.-
