with the minimum of implements and a
! plant the most inexpensive. True, the
material in general use is old glass re-
melted, for which expensive furnaces and
apparatus arc not indispensable. The
crucibles used are small, rarely exceeding
in capacity 200 pounds These are set in
furnace stocked from a small opening in
the side. About three hundred weight of
coal is used in melting one crucible Of
glass. The tubes by which the molten
glass Il collected from the pot are per-
ceptibly lighter and shorter than those
used insAnerica After being blown the
glass is annealed in small square Dit
containing ashes und straw, the hitter be-
ing speedily converted into ash by contact
with the heated glass
The molds used are made of clay, and
are often very ingeniously devised TO meet
the varying indications required. When
taken from the cTucible the operator does
not marver the lump Of molten glass by
rolling on fiat, iron slab, rs is usually
done. They have, in fact, 10 marver's

A Review by Bonfire Light.

A little before noon on the eth Of April,
, 1860, Gen. Grant, with his staff, rode into
the little village Of Farmville, on the
south side Of the Appomattox river, a
town which will be memorable in history
as the place IN which he opened the cor
respOndence with Ice which led to the
surrender OF the Army Of Northern Vir-
ginia.
He drew up in front Of the Village hotel.
dismounted and established headGuarters
on its broad piazza. News came in that
Crook was fighting large odds with his
cavalry on the north side Of the river, and
was directed to so to his front and see
what was necessary to be done to assist
him. l found that he was being driven
back and the enemy was making a bold
stand north Of the river. Humphreys
was also on the north side, isolated from
the rest of our infantry, confronted by
large portion of Lees army, and having
some very heavy fighting. On my return
to general headquarters that night.
Wrights corps was ordered to cross the
river and move rapidly to the support of
our troops there. Notwithstanding their
long march that day, the men sprang to
their feet with a spirit that made every
one marvel at their pluck, and came
swinging through the main street Of the
village, with step that seemed as elastic
as on the first day of their toilsome tramp.
1t was now dark, but they spied the gen
watching them with evident
pride from the piazza of the hotel.
Then was witnessed one of the most in
spring scenes Of the campaign. Bonfres
were lighted on the sides of the street.
the men seized straw and pine knots. and
improvtsed torches. Cheers arose from
throats already hoarse with shouts Of vic
tory, bands played, banners waved, arms
we're tossed high in air and caught agnin. |
The night march had become a grand re- |
view, with Grant as the reviewing officer. |

One Of the brightest men that ever attend
ed Harvard college was Sumner Psine,
son Of Henry W. Paine, a leading
lawyer Of Boston. Paine always led his
class at the college, as he had done before
at the Boston Latin school, without much
study or effort 1t was during the war, and
just before the battle Of Gettys, urg, that one
of the professors of the college, who was
much disliked by the students by reason OF
his arrogant manner, was about to be mar
ried. The evening Of the wedding Paine
headed band of students who, just as the
professor was about to go to the house Of the
bride, at which the wedding was to take
place. locked him in his room and prevented
him FROM being on hand at the appoin ed
time, in consequence Of which the marriage
ceremony was postponed.
Through q window the professor recog-
nized Paine among his tormentors aud the
next day preferred charges against him.
The faculty was 10th to discipline Paine, as
they admired the young man and his ability,
and partook to a great extent Of the students
dislike for the professor It was necessary for
the preservation of discipline that some no
tice should be taken Of the matter, and much
against their wishes they expelled Paine,
with the understanding that when he apollo
gized he could be Teinstatcd. Paine was over
sensitive and keenly felt his disgrace He at
once went to Governor Andrew, who was an
old family friend, who gave him q commits.
sion in regiment at the front OF Gettysburg.
Pairo left for his post of duty at once, ar.
rived at Gettysburg the day the fighting be-
gan, and fell mortally wounded within few
hours of his arrival Chicago Mail.
