Each Of the various countries on the
continent where glass is manufactured
produces an article peculiar to itself and
unlike its neighbors; and one of the
spscialties of Australian glass making is
the manufacture of various fabrics for
ladies' wear from spun glass. The glass
is spun into thin threads, like ordi-
nary silk or cotton, and woven into differ
ent colored fabrics sometimes entirely
of glass and sometimes with q warp Of
silk or cotton. Collars, neckties, cords
and tassels, fringes, pincushions,

material. At the Paris exhibition in
1873, bonnet made entirely Of spun
glass, with feather and ribbons, lined
with silk, was shown, as we'll as cloak

glass is also used for watch chains,
brushes, etc. Glass flowers are also
made to considerable extent, but it is

could see how he lived from day to day.
His library might he replaced on its old

the volumes are capable Of being easily

The garden is substantially as he left It.
The elements of his personality-sim-

are illustrated at every trrn. The
small plain chambers, the modest
furniture; the humble deco

abnegation. He was q great character.
No sculptured stone can commemorate
qualities such as he possessed. Nature
alone, as recreated by his private vir-
tues, shown in life, can do that, and at
Mount Vernon he lived and died. They
who revere that sacred memory, and
wish to keep it fresh, pray that his home

monument; that his conntrymen may
find here the Shade of their heroic friend,
and may renew their own patriotism by
association with his.-.un3 Atlantic.
