Terra-COtta for HOuse.Fronts.

So far as my experience goes, the pub
lie generally are unaware of the real
advantages and merits of terra-cotta
for facing street fronts. When proper
ly burned, it is absolutely inpervious to
smoke, and is unaffected by acid fumes
of any descriptions; it is about half the
weight of the lightest building-stones,
and its resistance, when burned in SOL
id blocks in compression, is nearly one
third greater than that of Portland
stone; it is not absorbent-a great de-
sideratum when damp has to be con-
sidered-it is easily nodded into any
shape, for strings, cornices. or window
sills and architraves, and can be easily
nodded for figure or other enrichment.
1t can be got in good warm yellow or
red color, and, when glazed, can be
produced in almost any tones of soft
browns. greens, reds, or yellows; and
its strength. durability, and impervious-
ness to all the destructive influences of
town atmospheres, to my mind, re-
commend it as the building material
most adapted for facing street 'front.'

CAPTAIN ASA S. BUSHNELL.

F. d. NJ of the Commercial Gazette was
in and about Springfield couple of days
last week, feeling public sentiment. Aud
the following is his feel of public senti-
ment with regard to our fellow-townsman
Captain Bushnell; and it is, like most of
f. d. Ms utterances, a very accurate
diagnosis of the case:
Awhile in and about Springfield / heard
some talk about Captain Asa Bushnell in con-
nection with the nomination for governor.
CAPTAIN Bushnell is not candidate and posi-
bly, could not be induced to become one, but
is Foraker man and strongly for the nomi-
nation OF the latter. But good many peo-
pie around the state think be has great ele-
msnts of strength.
He is a genial, witty man, and socially one
of the most charming and agreeable Of gen.
lenen, and companion who is always ne
Springfield globe-republic. (Springfield, Ohio) 1884-1887, 1885-02-17

freshing and entertaining. He is wonder
fully full Of practical and varied information
and most eloquent and happy in imparting
it. Though N active church member, he
is a laughing Christian, and don't believe
in shutting out Gods sunshine with the
shadow of the cross. Though temperate
and Irreproachable in private life and
habits, he is liberal and broad and
charitable in his judgments of men. BE
is very wealthy man, one of the heads of a
great manufacturing interest, an energetic
and public-spirited citizen prominently iden-
tilted with the work of building one of the
greatest concerns in the world, and making
Springfield one Of the finest cities in America
of its age and population. He is an ardent
Republican, positive and highly intelligent
in his views, especially upon protection and
the southern question. He is a good and
convincing speaker, and an excellent "mixer." !"
When he enlists in any enterprise, he en-
lists for the war. Said 4 gentleman to me:
ali Bushnell was nominated he would, |
think, repeat to great extent Fosters cam
psign of 1879"
The things against Captain Bushnell are
the old sores, recriminations. bitternesses,
charges. and counter charges of the late con-
gressienal contest in the eighth district"

WHO Is wHOe

Who is the colored man in Springfield
that tells this funny story, and who is the
candidate he tells it of? The story is pub
lished by F. D. NJ. in the last Sunday Com
mercial Gazette. The people of this town
would be grati6ed if the "double-barreled
oath" could be burst and the name of the
colored humorist be discharged into the
air. 1t seems to us that it was not "the
source Of activity" that was being done, "
but that it was F. D. NJ. However, it will
be observed that he "don't think there is
any truth in the story"
"A colored man in Springfield, after swear
ing me to secrecy with double-barreled oath,
told me momentous tale about the source OF
activity against Foraker, and said that it was
being done by another candidate, in his own
interest He said that candidate had seen
several colored men, and enlisted them in his
interest, and furnished them money, saying,
.in defeating Foraker for nomination you will
be serving your own people, the Republican
party, and me-
don't think there is any truth ir the
story"

Tricking a Wild Duck.

A Manitoba paper tells of an ingeni-
Gus method of securing stock of hens
practiced by bachelor who lives in a
secluded corner of the hills, distant
from neigh ors. Discovering the nest
of wild duck near his shanty, he re-
moved the eggs and placed an equal
number of hens eggs in the nest. In
due time the wild duck found that she
was the bewildered mother of flock of
chickens. Not that she knew they were
chickens-she did not know what thev
were. Their bills were not right, their
feet were all wrong, and they were of
every color; they could not swim and
could not understand. A more aston
ished wild duck was not to be found in
Manitoba. The bachelor placed his
misbegotten chickens in a basket and
took care of them, while the old duck
returned to neighboring pond, feel
ing that she had in some way been
shamefully imposed upon.

should, it will not only be present sue
cess but it will be precedent for wider
