is the desire Of Ex-Governor Foster, Of Ohio.

The General spent a very quiet day yesterday.
Ee and his secretaries disposed Of q great deal
of correspondents that accumulated last week,
while his time was almost wholly taken up with
visiting delegations There were a few callers,
among them Congressman Owen. who brought
very encouraging news from Washington. There
are still numerous requests for dates for delega-
tions from this and o:her States. and there will
likely be another siege OF receptions a. soon as
General Harrison returns.
Yesterday was his birthday, and ia its OBJ
servance the Union Veteran Association intend
ed to call on him, but, ia view of his proposed
departure, it was thought best to postpone tho
visit until September. Among other occurrences
at that time will be one for which Mrs Matte
McCorkle is arranging. She is organizing a
company of 100 little girls who will call on the
General. The little ones will march some even
ing to his residence with a double wrataplan quar-
tet of little boys at their head.

will have q very inter estine report to make to the
Council after it has concluded its Investigation
Of the water-works company. Some very dam
aging testimony, it is said, has been received.
Yesterday two of those who made afidavits
before the Council committee were before the
board. and the statements they made were
equally as strong as those given to the commit
tee. One of them furnished his evidence in the
form of an affidavit, and the other man says be
can substantiate all he says. The exact charac-
ter of the testimony will not be divulged by the
board. but il is understood that both testify that
the company has furnished ITS patrons with
water taken from the river. Every witness ex.
amined by the Council COMMITTEES expresses q
willingness to give the same information to the
health board. and the members of the board feel
confident that they are going to have no trouble
in getting at the exact facts with reference to the
methods of the company. TIL report will prob
ably be ready to submit to the Council at ito
next meeting.

After n Chicago Experience.

The unknown man found in the coal shed OF
Mr.. Shellhouse, recently. and taken to the police
station for insanity, after refusing to utter q
word for several days. consented to talk to the
officers yesterday. He gave his name as George
Spreckle. q molder by trade, living in New
Holland, Pa. According to his story he was
out of work and went to Chicago. arriving in
that city during the late Republican convention.
While there he was taken down with an attack
OF pleurisy, and sought the advice
of a physician. Upon being asked if he
had the money to paw for q prescription. He
exhibited bills amounting TO $40, which he had
brought with him. He remembers nothing that
sranspired since that hour, aud it is supposed
that he was drueged for the purpose of robbery.
He had no money on his person whom discovered
in this city. and the first question he asked of
turnkey Taffe was as to the whereabouts of his
tools. which, he says. he took to Chicago. Trus-
tee Macy provided him with q pass, and he will
be sent home this morning.

The Kangaroo.

On level ground high-bred horses
and dogs in full training can be toler-
ably sure of running down kanga-
roo, but il the animal can make its
way to broken and rocky ground, es-
pecially where the trunks OF fallen
trees beset the track, it can mostly
make good its escape. When brought
to BAY it is as formidable an antago-
mist as the stag itself. 1t has no horns,
but it has hindfeet, and at the tip Of
the fourth toe there is claw Of great
length, shaped like a bayonet, and
scarcely less formidable A single kick
from this weapon will rip up dog as
if the animal had been struck with a
sharp sword, and even an armed man
does not like TO approach il in front
Generally y when at bay the Kangaroo
stands upright, resting its back against
a tree, so that the dogs cannot attack
it from behind. The hunter, however,
takes advantage Of this habit. He
trains his dogs to make false attacks
on the animal III front, without com
ing within range of the terrible claw,
and while his attention is engaged in
front he slips behind the tree and
strikes his long hunting knife into the
body of the kangaroo. Not many
years ago the kangaroo swarmed like
the bison in America. But now great
cities have sprung into existence,
where, scarcely fifty years ago, not
even a hut was to be seen and the
black men and the kangaroo were
masters of the land. The time is not
very far distant when sheep and cat
tie will have taken the place Of the
kangaroo, and Australia will only
know her most characteristic animal
by reputation The kangaroo and the
bison will alike fall victims to advanc-
ing civilization.

How Mirrors are Made.

One Of the factories in Chicago EN-
ploys some one hundred and fifty men
and boys, and its spacious four floors
present an interesting series of sights
TO the visitors whose nerves are steel
and tympani proof against splitting.
On the first floor he will see huge
stacks and piles of glass Of assorted
sizes, ranging from sixteen feet by
seven square, down 10 the smallest
ovals for mirrors. These are all pol
ished. some being run over huge felt
covered wheels kept powdered with
rouge, and the larger sheets scrubbed
bv sweating toilers with hand blocks
covered with felt like a printers proof
planer in rouge. After the glass is
thoroughly polished it is taken up TO
the next floor. where il is laid on tables
and cut into the sizes ordered. Ii then
passes into the hands Of the jewellers,
who. with sand and water and large
grindstone, artistically finish the edges
of the glass. 1t takes a trip upward
again, TO another floor, and is once
more put through a polishing process
to remove any scratches that may be
on the glass. After every spot or
scratch. no matter how minute, has
been removed careful hands convey
the now beautiful sparkling glass 10
the room where it goes through the
final process, of silvering. Huge tables
of east iron or stone, made like billiard
tables. with raised edges, are used in
the silvering room. These tables are
of great strength and solidity, and all
around the edges is drain, for the
superiluous mercury Is poured over
the tables in quantities sufficient 10

foiled, is gently and carefully pushed
across the table containing the mer-
curry. Great care must be used 10 pre-
vent blemishes, the least speck of dust

not be removed by skimming. The
least bit Of this scum will spoil the
mirror, so the difficulty is obviated by
showing the scum along with the edge
of the glass. After successfully float
ing the glass on the mercury. IA wolen
cloth is spread over the whole surface
and square iron weights are applied
until the whole presents compact
mass OF iron, two or three pounds TO
the square inch. After this pressure
has been confined ten or twelve hours,
the weights are removed and the glass
placed upon another table of wood
with slight inclined top. The incli-
nation is gradually increased until the
unamalgamated quicksilver has drain
ed away and only the perfect anal
gam remains, coating the glass and
perfectly adherent. This ends the
process, and the erstwhile rough piece
of plate glass emerges from the silver
ing room gorgeous mirror.
