OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER,
Philadelphia, Nov, 18th, 1888.

Philadelphia, Nov, 18th, 1888.
DEAR EDITOR: Notwithstanding the
unfortunate decision of the Supreme Count t.,
the colored voters of the city, worked earn
estly for the success of the Republican
ticket If it had not been for their votes,
Jeffries, who was opposed by the COM
mittee of One Hundred would have been
defeated. 1t is not necessary for me to tell
you how great the blow was, but after
calm reflection, we find that at least we
have made some progress. Our rights in
the Capitol OF the Nation have been
clearly defined, here it is penal offence
to deny or abridge our rights of citizen
ship. A bill is being prepared and will
be introduced in the New Jersey Legis-
lature as soon rs it cOnvencs, to strike out
or amend all laws that tends to abridge
our citizenship.
The annual conclave of the United
Grand Commandery for the instalment Of
its officers elect was held November Sth,
with the following result, Wis: Sir James
S. Robinson, r. f. G.. C: Sir d. Marten,
Dept. G. c; Sir w. Mower, G. G; Sir
Gilbert johnson, G. C. G; Sir j. D.
Kelley, G.. Rec, and Sir S. Young, G.
Treasurer.
Our citizens are soon to be treated to a
musical feast by quartette from your
city, Wis: Miss Blanche Washington,
Miss Kate NJ. Slade, and Messrs. r. I.
Tompkins, and John S. Layton, on
Thanksgiving evening, for tue benitit of
the organ fund Of the Presbyterian Church
CDR. Reeycs.) Another musical event
which will call out our society bellies,
will be the annual rehearsal of the Am
phians on December 9th. Besides the
events named, there are inumerable par.
ties, fairs, balls. weddings and other So
cial events going on, or on the tapis.
Our city within the past two weeks has

Weddings.

From the Home Journals Notes on New
York Etiquette" we CLEAN few items con-
cerning weddings: After the ceremony
and the clerical blessing, the clergyman
eOngratulates the husband and wife, but
he does not kiss the lady, as was once the
custom. Indeed, kissing in public, says
this authority, is no longer permissible in
good society; delicate and refined wo-
manhood has long been in rebellion against
the usage, without having abolished it,
however, until quite recently. After the
breakfast, or in case of q reception, before
the guests disperse, the bride and groom
leave for their drCsSing-rOOms quietly,
taking no leave of any one, and prepare for
their departure. They don their travelling
attire, and only few favored or especially
invited friends remain with the bridesmaids
and ushers to throw rice and worn slippers
after their carriage. The "best man" has
already gone to the train or steamer to
look after their luggage and to see them
off without yexation or eare-taking. No
one asks them whittier they are fitting,
such question being in bad taste. The
"best man" only is aware of the direction
in which their honeymoon is rising, and
he is not likely to speak of his knowledge.
Bridal gifts are seldom exhibited, and the
few friends who are permitted to look at
them examine them only after the cards
are removed. The giving of presents by
persons outside of the family is falling in
to disrepute, and, by not few families, is
considered an intrusion if not an imperti-
nenCe.

Mineral Wool.

Mineral wool or Sihcate cotton is one of
those curious and unexpected inventions
arising from the ever-increasing efforts of
| modern science to utilize the waste mate
rial OF industry. 1t was first manufactur-
eel IE large quantities in one of the large
gun factories Of Krupp, in Essen, q large
town OF Prussia, on the Rhine, where such
immense quantities of mineral refuse or
Stag" had accumulated year after year
that bow to get rid of it became a serious
problem. 1t had formed quite respecta-
bic sized mountains, when some one CON
ceived the idea of experimenting with it.
and found by the action of hot air and
Jets OF steam under the pressure of three
or four atmOSphereS, blown upon the STAG
Wnen nearly at white heat, it became
transformed into light, coherent spongy
substance, something between wool and
grey cotton wadding in appearance, and
capable OF being purified so as to become
as white as wool. 1t is Of course, perfect
ly lncOmbustible. 1t is also bad cOnduc-
tor Of heat and relatively cheap; about a
cent and half pound or about S. a Gu
bic yard. 1t win probably become cheap
er as the supply increases.
Its uses are many and varied. 1t makes
excellent coverings for forcing beds, wraps
for water pipes and faucets to protect from
frost. In building it is especially valua-
bic. Placed between the outer and inner
surfaces of walls it is a most excellent pro-
lection against tEe cold Of winter and the
heat of summer; while for the stufing of
partition walls and floors it is she most eff
fectiye deadener of sound yet discovered.
1t is lighter and less expensive than most
substances used for this purpose, and has
the great advantage Of being inaccessible
to mice as we'll as preventing the spread
of flames in case of fire. 1t is not water
proof, but is made so when required, by
coating it under heat with bituminous or
matter. The demand for this ma
terial is increasing, but its manufacture in
this country is controlled by parties who
hold patents thereOn.-indaStrial NelCs
