PASSING AWAY.

The galaxy of statesmen which
Differed the Republican party at
the breaking out OF the civil war has
nearly disappeared. Ccnkling was
the last Of the grants, and he had
just donned his armor when the
struggle began. Lincoln, Seward,
Summer, Chase, Morton, Chandler,
Goifax, Wilson aud Thaddeus Ste.
vens all passed away years ago, and
Banks, more promising at one time
than many of the above, alone re
mains, broken in fortune and but re
Gently pensioner of that party
which in his younger days he fought
with such vigor and success.
They were men whom any country
should be proud of. Bold, aggressive,
intellectual, and dominated by the
strength of their convictions, they
seemed to be raised up to control
the exceptional epoch in which they
figured, and the philosophical histor
ian will hereafter record the impress
of their individuality upon the new
birth through which the nation pas
sed between 1860 and 1870. No
two of them were alike in either
mental or nervous fiber, and therein
rested the salty of the party and
the country. The former was not
moulded to the will of man, and the
latter did not become the victim of
enthusiasts. Each supplied what
the other lacked, and all pulled to-
get! er to accomplish great results.
Lincoln's humanity, Stewards dip
lomacy, Summers classicism, Chase's
practicality, Morton's indomitable
pluck, and Chandler's horse sense
forced events into harmony with the
grand principles of the party, and
twisted the government out OF the
narrow and rugged path traversed
by it for so many years into a broad
and smooth road which insured pros
perity and progress. 1t is really no
disparagement to their successors to
say that they do not fully measure
up to the men who guided the old
ship of state safely into harbor dur.
ing the memorable period immedi,
ately before and after the war.
Statesmen do not generally rise
above their opportunities or the
needs of their generation.
There are no such incentives now
as there were twenty years ago, no
desperate chances to be taken such
as rapidly deyelope and strengthen
the faculties, nor do the rewards of
politics during an era of peace and
plenty compare with those which
are to he won in other walks of life.
Our greatest men must be looked
for elsewhere than in the public ser
vice, but shoBld an emergency arise
they will probably be found at their
proper stations battling like their
predecessors for the great and en-
during principles of government

POLISH CATHOLICS.


CHICAGO. July ga local paper says that
the Poles Of this and AL the large cities Of the
United States have Joined In q petition TO Pope
Leo, asking him to order the Polish clergy in
this country TO remove the religious ban from
the Polish National Alliance. The petition. to
which are attached about ten thousand sigma

has created q sensation in the Polish quarters.
The Polish National Allianceis . benev olent, as

TheClay Pipe.

"The clay used in making pipes, is
obtained chiefly from pits located in
New Jersey, although there is large bed
of clay being worked Mt Glen Cove, l.. /.
The clay costs SO ton at the mines,
but, with freight charges, &c, it amounts
to about 50 per ton before it is landed at
the factory. As soon as it arrives the
clay is spread ont and seasoned by being
exposed to the heat of the sun, which
generally occupies several days. 1t is
then mixed with water and passed throu-
gh mill, which crushes it and removes
the stones and grift which cling to the
crude clay. 1t is then kneaded with the
hands in the same manner in which
bread is kneaded, and carefully freed
from all foreign substances.
"After the clay has been brought to
the proper consistency it is carried to n
workman called roller, who sits before
bench, on the top of which lies a
q smooth, square board. In making a
pipe the roller takes in each hand a
small lump of the fresh clay and deity
rolls it out to the desired length and
thickness leaving knob like lump at the
end of each piece, which latter is form
ed into the bowl of the pipe.
"At this stage of its manufacture the
half made pipe is laid upon a measure,
which marks the regulation length of
the stem. IL the latter has been made
too long it is then clipped off. When
dozen pipes have been thus formed they
are passed to another workman, who sits
at a complicated machine, in which the
pipes are further manipulated. The man
at the machine first oils the clay. after
which he places the rudely shaped pipes
in mould and inserts an oiled and
polished wire through the stems, max
ing the aperture through which the
smoke Is drawn in using. The mould is
then placed in the machine and the su-
perAuous clay is forced out.
"The pipes have now taken on their
final shape and are laid in the sun to
dry, after which they are polished and
put in q large earthen receptacle called
'sagger,' which is covered and arrang-
ell with dozen other saggers in the kiln.
The door of the kiln is then securely
fastened, and the fire, which is fed with
charcoal and coke, is started and kept ut
a white heat for fifteen or twenty hours.
The fire is then allowed to die out slowly
and when quite extinguislIed the doors
are opened, the saggers allowed to cool
and their contents examined. The pipes,
which before were Of q dull blue color
and very limp and soft have become per
fectly white and hard. The finished
pipes that have been examined and
found perfect are carefully packed in
barrels and boxes, and are then ready for
SHIPMENT.

CAUGHT BY 4 MEAT HOOK.
A Remark able Accident to Bicycle
Rider i'm Rochester.
from the Rochester Democrat.

From the Rochester Democrat
An accident as peculiar in its nature
as the ones which proved fatal to Absa-
lon, though not serious in it's results.
befell Henry Enrich, an employee at
the Stein Manufacturing Companys
factory, last night.
The young man was out i'll the even
ing, as was his custom, on his bicycle.
He had taken ''spin' to the outskirts
of ,he city and was returning about 10
o'clock on jefferson avenue. When he
reached the corner where Minges's meat
market is located he turned up on the
sidewalk. Passing under the awning in
front of the meat market, two young
men who were standing near by were
horritied to see Enrich suspended to II
huge meat hook hanging from brace
supporting the awning. They hastened
to his assistance and discovered that the
hook had caught him just below the
right eye. The wheel mad passed partly
from under the rider SO that almost his
entire weight came upon the hook. Tho
two young men took the wheel away and
then succeeded in raising him off from
the hook.
l'ttIpl "dSpu Wis
monel and bore him to the City Hospi-
tai, where his injuries were examined
and his severe pain relieved. There it
was found the hook had pierced under
the cheek bone, and tearing it loose from
the nasal side, had torn through and
under the orb of the eye, The bone was
splintered. and the lids were torn al
most entirely away from their attach
ments. One peculiar thing about it was
that though there was no motion to the
e"e the optic nerves were to all appear
ahces undisturbed, and, though suffer
ing excruciating pain, he was able to dis
tinguish objects. There is some pos
sibility of the sight saved, but the eye
and face will be badly disiiSured. The
shock had the effect OF producing hemor-
rhages, and up to | o'clock this morn
ing he had suffered two severe attacks.
Mr.. Enrich is % years old. He was
riding a 56-inch wheel, and could not
have seen that the hooks were suspend
ed under the awning.
