The casting tables, the most im-
portant pieces OF apparatus in plato
glass works. are nineteen feet long,
fonrtocna feet wide and seven inches
thick Each is provided with an iron
roller, thirty inches in diameter and
fifteen foot long. Strips OF iron on
each side OF the table afford bearing
for the rollers, and determine the
thickness Of the.plate Of glass to be
cast The rough plate Is commonly
nino-sixteenths OF an inch in thickness;
after polishing it is reduced to six or
seven-sixteenths. The casting tables
are mounted on wheels, and run on
truck that reaches every furnace and
annealing oven in the building.
The table having been wheeled ms
near Us possible to the melting fur
mace. the pot OF molten glass is lifted
by means OF crane, and its contents
quickly poured on the table. The
heavy iron roller is then passed from
end TO end, spreading the glass into a
LAYER Of uniform thickness The whole
operation OF casting scarcely occupies
more time than it takes to describe 1t.
Each movement is made with almost
nervous rapidity. Few Industries offer
such 1ue scenic display as the pouring

After no had been there five or six days they

given two pals of water--one 10 wash in aud
the other 10 drink from-but had not even
blanket and no Surgeon went near him to look
after his wounds. He was confined there 81
days, and only released after Lincoln had placed
Gen Lees son aud Gen. Winders son in tho
black hole at Fortress Monroe, in retaliation
for the treatment OF Powell, and notified JEFF
Davis that IL Powell died he'd kill both of

They Should be Removed 10 the Capital Of the
Nation.
EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: OF all words
of tongue or pen of great men, the most elo-
quent and of most import TO the Nation. are tho
simple words of Grant: "Let us have Peace"
Volumes condensed in four immortal words
Not appreciated at the time of utterance, the
intensity of thought that gave them to the Ma
ton is better understood to-day, although ii is
doubtful if their great meaning will be fully
appreciated until the generation that fought
the greatest ofcivil wars shall have passed away.
Tho late combatauts have equal cause to revere
his memory. When Grant died tho Nation
would have enshrined his remains at Airing
ton or the Soldiers Home near this city but
Mrs. Grant selected Riverside Park, New York,
and his late comrades in. arms and the Nation
quietly acquiesCed.
Recently, for reasons and upon conditions so
we'll understood they need not be recited in
this communication, Mrs. Grant has stated the
readiness of the family TO accede to the proper
ly expressed desire of tho people and permit
the removal of her husbands remains to WASH
ingtOn, for such final disposition as the Nation
may decide is best"
As Col. Amos Webster, who served on the
Generals staff, has said: "The Capital Of the
Nation he-and the brave men who fought
with him-preserved, is tho only proper resting
place for the sacred dust Of the ato beloved
and honored soldier. President" OF course,
such removal and transfer will only be made
after Congress shall have passed special act
authorizing it. That their sentiments may be
known, suggest that Posts of the Grand Army
of the Republic adopt suitable resolutions in
reference thereto, forwarding one copy to the
Representative in Congress for the district in
which the Posts arc located-with tho request
that he take measures to bring about the re-
moval--and another to The NATIONAL TRIB-

PARIS, France, August, 1889.
What do you do of an evening in Paris" is a
question frequently asked One cannot so to
the Exposition day and night, especially IS AL
on the grounds are politely asked to retire at
o'clock. And then, variety is the spice of
life.
In the worlds gay capital, where amuse-
meut is the chief business OF life, IL is not
difficult 10 find some place TO go. The diff
Guilty, indeed, is to decide where not TO go.
With OPERA theaier, ballet and pantomime,
cyclorama and hippOdrome, park aud garden,
and Buffalo Bill, you are no lover of pleasure
ii there is not something 10 attract.
IL you are lover of music, and above all If
you are proud Of American beauty and genius,
you viii decide on the opera Aud whether
You select the Grand Opera or the Opera Com
ique you will be equalycharmed aud gratfied.
At each of these great places of splendor and
beauty it is the American prima donna that
holds the boards and captiyates the multi
tudes.
In the last % years there have been as great
discoveries IN the world of music as in the
world of invention and scientific research.
One of the chiefest is that IL is America
that produces the finest voices in the world
il is no longer the Jennie Linds and Parepa
Rosas, the Alhanis aud the Soniags of Europe
that carry the musical world by storm. Amer
lea is destined TO he the great source of supply
in the world Of song.
1.-The Americans have delicious voices" said
Madame Marrhesi, the celebrated Italian in
structor, Ia commenting on the startling sue
cess Of Miss EamcS, OF Boston, who has been
the star Of the season at the Grand Opera.
And no wonder she is proud of her pupils and
their achievements Mile. Nevada was one of
them, and another. Mile. Sylvauia, is soon TO
make her debut on the stage. She sang at the
American concert, just given at the TrocaderO,
one of the Exposition buildings, aud was
warmly praised by the Partisan press and
critics She is a Philadelphia girl of expressive
face and charming physique and as a ballad
singer Is exceptionally fine. Her stage name,
"Sylvania," is the latter part Of Pennsylvania.
