How Clay Pipes Are Made.

It's popularity believed, says the De-
trOit Free Press, that all clay pipes are
either made in Europe or from clay
brought from the other hemisphere, but
such is not the case, as q very large
share Of the clay pipes made in Amer-
CIV are made ofclay found at aud near
Woodbridge, N. j.
The clay comes to Detroit By. the car
load, and the first step toward prepar-,
ing it for mclding is to sufficiently dam
pen it with water to make it pliable.
This is done by placing it in q tank,
where it soaKs in water about twenty
four hours. Itis then hammered with
iron bars, thus Kidding it Of any Jumps
or dry chunks. Then the molding be-
gins, the workman taking lump of
clay in each hand. and by squeezing,
and rolling it molds The pieces into i
rough stem thrice larger than the finish
ed pipe stem, having q rough ball at its.
end. These trolls, : as they are called,
are piled on wooden trays, sixteen to
each tray, after which they are dried,
either BY the sun or artificial means.
After having been dried, not to hard
ness, but sufficient to dispose of all SUI.
pertluous dampness, the rolls are ready
I to have the stem drilled and the howl
formed, To drill the stem the. work
man holds small iron rodthe size Of
the stem hole-and with his left hand
pulls the clay over the rod instead of
showing the rod through the stem. To
do this the workman is guided solely
by the sense of touch in lis finger tips,
and that sense is SO accurate that the
hole is invariably made straight and
equidistant from all points of the exte-
rior Of the roll. The ball at the end of
the roll is turned up and then roll and
rod are placed in an iron matrix which
presses the pliable clay into the desired
outside pattern. Then the matrix and
its contents are placed in hand press,
and the workman, by pulling lever,
forms the hole of the pipe-bowl. The
nodded pipe. still soft and pliable, next
passes to the hands of the trimmers,
girls who scrape off the superfiuous
clay, marking the joints Of the matrix.
Then the pipes are placed in fireproof
clay ''saggers." and the loaded saggers
are piled into large furnace. This
furnace has six tlues at the bottom, and
the six sheets of flame at the bottom
concentrate at the top, thus making the
heat even throughout. Until the pipes
20 into the furnace they are blue in
color, but when they come out they are
pure dead white.

GuiTEAu, THE ASSASSIN.

Guiteau, the assassin, appears to be growing
fat on his prison diet as well as rich from the
contributions of his numerous visitors. Though
confinement in Jail has the effect usually of
giving the complexion an unnatural whiteness,
Guiteaus cheeks have somewhat of ruddy
glow. Recently he has devoted almost all his
spare time to the preparation Of his book The
Truth-a Companion to the Bible" and "The
Removal" IA synopsis of the trial. This is
being printed by Gibson Brothers, and Guiteau
has been busily engaged in reading the proof
of it, In consequence of his unfavorable criti-
cisms of Mr.. Scoville's conduct of the case,
some objection was made to the book appearing
with them, and at last Guiteau has consented
to eliminate the Objectionable passages. The
book will be ready in a day or two. The author
had an advertisement Saturday giving the
prices of the book and directing that orders be
sent with money in registered letter only"
to him at the Jail; bat it is questionable to
what extent he will be allowed to carry on the
business of bookseller.
Mr.. Scovillc said to reporter that he would
probably remain here for some days to attend
to his petition before Congress asking that pay
be allowed counsel for defence in the Guiteau
case He is through with the bill of exceptions
except to see that it is printed right. "Are
you on good terms with Guiteau now?" asked
the reporter.
81 saw him Sunday, and 1 think we came to
a satisfactory understanding, for the present,
at least"
"Do you intend to leave the case?"
81 have never intended that he should be
without counsel. I had hoped that after the

some one TO take hold of the case, but there
appears to be no chance for that, so 1 Will,

PENSION FOR LOSS LIMB.

In the House of Representatives, on Friday
last the Select Committee ON the Payment of
Pensions, Bounty, and Back Pay, submitted the
following report:
Section 4693 of the Revised Statutes provides
that all persons who shall have lost one hand
or one foot, or been totally and permanently
disabled in the same, or otherwise so disabled
as to render their incapacity to perform manual
labor equivalent to the loss Of hand or foot,
shall be entitled to a pension Of $1S per month.
This bill seeks to increase it to $i0per month,
from and after December a, 1881, to all persons
now on the pension roll, or that may be here
after granted pension for such wound.
The committee recommend the passage of the
accompanying bill:
Be it enacted By the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatires of the United States of America IN Con-
qreSs assembled, That from and after the passage
of this act all persons on the pension roll, and
all persons hereafter granted pension, who,
while in the military or naval service of the
United States, and in the line Of duty, shall
have lost one arm, one hand one leg, or one
foot, or shall have suffered disability equal
thereto, shall be entitled to pension of $40 per
month.
Amend the title so as to read: "a bill to
amend the pension laws by increasing the pen
sions of soldiers and sailors who have lost an
arm or leg in the service"
