Glass blowing is an art nearly 1000
years old, and perhaps much older. Yet
there has never been any means discovered
of dispensing with the human lungs as the
instruments of. the blowing. An English
company Is experimenting with mould
and mechanical bellows, which does salts
factory work at bottle blowing, but this
pretends to attempt only coarse work.

A FEMININE HAND
Holds Doubtful Cards in the English and
Irish Political Game.

New YORK, July %.
A special from London says: An interest
ing que stion being asked in political circles
is ''who is she?" 1t is rumored, and seems
to be generally believed that woman is at
the bottom of the Parnell persecution, and
that she is the main source from which the
Fines obtained the material on which it
based its charges. Not only is the woman
known to the initiated few, but it is said that
the line inserted in the bill, making any and
all persons who testify before COM
mission, free from any injury which might
otherwise accrue from their testimony refers
particularly to her, and was put in to get her
into the witness box. If she has forged the
letters, she will naturally keep out of the
way, but should she appear some very inter
esting proceedings may be looked for.
This news wiz make more acrimonious
than ever the debate on limiting the scope of
the commission, and as the Gladstonans all
support Parnel's position, the likelihood di
minshes that the bill will pass.
The government are in an Independent
position confirmed in it by the cabinet coun-
Gil, yesterday, and simply say that if Parnell
will not accept the opportunity as offered
him, they will drop the whole matter.
The names of the judges who are to con
stltute the commission are reported to be
Lord Justice Bowen of the court of appeals,
and Justice Mills and Lord Young of the
Scotch court of sessions. Justice Bowen
and Lord Young so far as they have any po-
litical leadings, are moderate liberals. Mills
has held aloof from politics. There seems to
be general feeling that their legal ability
and judicial freedom from ejudice will in
sure fair hearing.

Notes.

The President sent to Congress on Mon
day message transmitting the fourth report
of the United States civil service commission
covering a period between January l6, 1888,
and July |, 1887.
He calls attention to the valuable informa-
ton contained in the report, (which cannot
fail to be interesting and instructive to all
who desire improvement in administrator
methods" and says:
During the time covered by the report Is :
s52 persons were examined for admission in
the civil service of the government in all its
branches, of whom IL, >. &c passed the exam
nation and 5l06 failed. OF those who
passed examination 2,9-7 were applicants for
admission to the departmental service at
Washington, ,547 were examined for ad-
mission to custom service, and ,222 for ad-
mission to the postal service. During the
same period 547 appointments were made
from the eligible lists to the departmental
service, 64l to customs service, and 1854 to
postal service.
He dwells at considerable length upon the
many important changes that have taken
place in the furtherance of a reform in the
civil service. The rules and regulations
governing violations of law upon the subject
having been completely remodeled in such a
manner as 10 renIeT tne euloIceHieni VI the
statute more effective and greatly increase
its usefulness.
Congressman rushed away from Washing
ton on Saturday in large numbers, some with
leave and others without. Some of them
seem to be oblivious to the large amount of
business which remains unfinished. 1t is
likely that a good many questionable
measures may be rushed through by corrupt
combinations.
