since he had his anti-dynamite resolution en-
crossed, with his own name standing out
prominently, for the purpose of forwarding
it to Victoria. Mr.. Collyer's attempt to
bring himself to the notice of the royal farni-
ly will cause many of the plain farmers who
are members of the General Assembly to
look upon him as a snob, funkey or a
crank. But if Mr.. Col1yer gets from Victo-
ria an acknowledgment of the receipt
of his resolution he will be consoled,
even if his two-cent fare bill comes to grief,
and when he returns to Darien at the close of
the session, being an artist, he will undoubt-
edly t'paint the town red''
In o letter about the glass factories of
Bellaire, Ohio, where twenty per cent. of
all the glass made in this country is said to
be produced-much of it selling in England
"a New York Tribune correspondent
writes: The English are not expert in labor
saving machines or devices and they continue
to work by hand. The American makes a
mold with original design upon it, often
using for his designs the forms of our grains
or flowers or leaves, and the molten glass is
pressed in these molds, and good deal of
the engraving on the glass is done by ma
chimes, the glass article being held in the
hand and the embellisher drawing the pat
tern from his mind. This American glass
undersells British glass at home and many of
our patterns are made especially to capture
the British eye.
The city of Chattanooga is one of the
thriving places in the new South. It has
nearly doubled its population in the last five
years, having increased from thirteen thou
sand in 1880 to twenty four thousand in 1885,
The manufacturing capital of the city has
likewise doubled within that time, standing
now at over $5,O0O,000. Capital in whole
sale trade is fully six times as great as the
amount so engaged five years ago. During
the past year half million dollars has been
invested there in new enterprises and mil
lion dollars in value of real estate changed
hands at prices beyond those asked during
the "boom'' of 1882. The schools of the
city, it is claimed, are in excellent condition,
Gin fact, among the very best in the country
and growing more efficient as the years
pass"
In recent lecture before the London So
ciety of Arts some interesting facts were
given concerning Miguels long series of ex-
periments respecting the numbers Of bacteri-
al organisms found in the air of different To-
calities. In the high Alps he found the air
pure, absolutely free from bacteria; on the
Lake of Thun, at an elevation of $50 metres,
he found 8; near the hotel of Thun, 2.5; in
the room of the hotel, 60; in the park at
Montsouris, 760, and in the Rue of Rivoli,
Paris, $500. The largest numbers were
found in the hospitals, where each cubic me-
tre of air contained as minimum 5, 500 and
as maximum $4,000. The prediction is
made that the bacterial tests of air, water
and soil will soon be brought into use by
those who want a scientific demonstration of
the healthfulness of locality before adopt
ing it as place of residence.
The silver men are very much disgustsd
with the action of the house appropriations
committee in putting clause into the sun
dry civil bill to suspend the coinage of the
Bland dollar. Mr.. Bland is reported as thus
discsursing concerning the matter: In the
senate our friends have a majority. In
canvass made concerning the trade dollar
bill, which also carries with it the PROPOSE
ton to suspend the coinage of the silver dol
lars, we are confident we can beat this clause
on @ square vote. Besides, we can raise the
point which has been sustained SO often this
winter, that this is general legislation and
therefore not properly upon an appropria-
ton bill. If everything else fails in the Sen
ate, where debate has no limitations, we can
talk until the other side is obliged to give in
or be responsible for extra session. This
Randall and the anti-silver men our side
will not dare to bring on, and they will sur
render in order to escape it. We have
dozen resorts by which this clause will be
and we will employ them all up to
noon on the fourth of March. If the Re
publicans want an extra session, all right.
We shall not only discuss, then, the silver
question, but the tariff will be brought up,
some more land grants forfeited, and other
matters which they do not care to have agi-
tated. If this silver question brings on an
extra session, the country will be full of pol
itics for months to come.
