Where the Marbles Come From,

Nearly all the common marbles which
drag down the pockets OF the boys Of our
land are made in Oberstein, Germany.
They are made from the refuse Of the
agate and stone quarries in that neighbor-
hood. The stone is broken into small
cubes by blows of n light hammer. These
small blocks Of stone are thrown by the
shovelful into the chopper" of a small
mill, formed of a bed stone, having its
surface with concentrated burrows; above
these is the runner which is made Of
hard wood having level face on its lower
surface. The upper block is made to re-
volve rapidly, water being delivered upon
the grooves of the bed stone where the
marbles are being rounded. 1t takes
about fifteen minutes to finish bushel Of
good marbles, ready fo- swapping" One
mill will turn out 10000 marbles per
week. The very hardest crackers, as
the boys call them, are made by slower
process, somewhat analogous, however,
to the other.-Syracuse Standard

Search the round earth and heavens afar,
Man Is the highest thing you find;
Yet all the powers of all mankind
Drawn to point could never make
One scented little jasmine star
or these that by our window shake,
As stirs the fitful evening wind,
Showing, in purple depth between
The frondage, Sirius glancing keen.
Look back into the twilight room,
And see, amid the tender gloom,
Our favorite picture glimmering rich,
Our dear Greek GOODIES in her niche,
Our fifty priceless books row,
And Music, where she mildly waits
To open with q touch heavens gates.
Say, hath not art, mans proper power,
Its world of miracles to showy
The boundless world OF star and flower,
All that exists, above. below
Is chaos, blind and deaf and dumb,
Until within the soul it come
THAT essence Of its gross perceive
Itself at last, and instant weave
A universe Of beauty, wrought
OF interfiow, within, without
Souls joy: which in its own fine ways
Art expresses and conveys.
How Nature hides her music tones,
More deeply than her precious stones:
Now We have found and set them! Nay,
Tonight, love, 90 not sing or play
But improvise-a starry night,
And beauty, too, is infinite:
Its source the loving soul, face
Like yours its choicest dwelling place.

Till light Of the moon is shed,
The watching stars will whiten
The way that thou wilt tread.
All day my cares will tighten

Till thou with looks that brighten
Wilt stoop for my caress.

there was evidence of political fight on

The folio wing resolution, offered by

heated discussion:
Resolved, that the political situation In

and factions hostile 10 the Democracy de-
maud OF the DsmscraHc psrty an honest
and explicit announcement OF its princi.
pies without subterfuse or evasion to the
end that efsctual party discipline and or

preserved during the com-
ing campaign. We Is declare
that our platforms, state and federsl,
should speak in no uncertain sound upon
any public issue, and the party should be
aligned in open antagonism to all
species Of protection in raising revenue,
to all forms Of federal aggression In the
government to the detriment Of the
Just powers OF the states and Of the peo
pie, to sll kinds OF monopoly which al
ways enrich the few at the expense Of the
many, to all forms Of sumptusry legisla
ton, including prohibition, which vex the
citze and interfere with individual
liberty, to all paternalism which would
take from US the right to
control the education of our children, and
to any waste Of our pu bic domain, which
should be sacredly preserved as homes
for our people; and our delegates to the
Fort Worth convention are hereby in
structed to take such action st said con-
vention as may, in their judgment, tend
to secure the adoption and PRONUNCIATION
OF these principles there and at 81. Louis.
