RsALE IN Lac SADDLE.
he Wants the Sinking Fund Comm ission
to give Bond.

He Wants the Sinking Fund Comm isaion
to give Bond.
The motion made In Council last even
ing by Aaron ). Beale, Of the Ninth ward
requesting that the Clerk Of Council be
instructed to ascertain whether the
sinking fund commissioners had ever
given bond, would have been commend
able In any other man but Mr. Beale,
who is selt-confessed bride taker and
who sold himself and his ward for the
paltry sum Of $50. Coming from him,
however, it sounds ridiculous, standing
in the position he does before the people,
as a corruptionist
Nevertheless, II the Sinking Fund
Commissioners have not given bond,
they should be made to give it the same
as any other man or set OF men are com
PEELED to do
The members Of the Sinking Fund
Commission Of this city are Willard
Salisbury, Jr, Edwin Gayley and
Thomas + Young. It is the duly Of the
commission to pay of the bonded indebt-
edness Of the city as the bonds mature.
The amount paid annually by the com
mission ls $40 600 and thu appropria-
ton Is made by Council as soon after the
fiscal year begins as application is made
for the money. The act defining the
duties Of the commission was passed at
Dover, February 8, 1855. and sec ton z
of said act reads as follows;
THAT each commissioner shall give
bond TO the city OF Wilmington, in such
amount and with security to be deter
mined and approved by the City Council
and the said commissioners shall faith
fully pay all moneys which shall come
into their hands under and by virtue of
any OF the foregoing provisions, towards
the liquidation and cancelling Of any
bond or bonds which shall be issued
under the provisions Of this act as the
same shall fall due and be payable. On
the liquidation and payment Of any bond
by the com issioners, they shall cause
to be written across the face OF such
bond the word cancelled, and the day
when cancelled, and the bonds thus can
celied shall be retained by the commits
sioners until the whole debt Of the city
shall be paid. The commission shall keep
record Of the procet dings under the
act, which shall. at al times be open for
the inspection of the City Council
| IL the commissioners have never been
| bonded IL shows great csrelessness upon
the part Of the City Council. The only
| guarantee the city has had appears to be
the high intelligence and character OF
the members comprising the commission.
While Messrs. Salisbury, Gayley and
Young have shown that their characters
made bonds unnecessary for the faithful
discharge of their duties, the Council
| should conform to the law and make all
persons who handle the funds Of the city
| give bond.

Pumice- Stone,

This is a volcanic product, and is
obtained principally from Campo
Blanco, one of the Lipari Islands,
which is entirely composed of this
substance. 1t is extensively employ
ed in various branches of the arts, and
particularly in the state of powder,
for polishing the various articles of
cut glass; it is extensively used in
dressing leather, in grinding and
polishing the surface of metallic plates,
etc. Pumice stone is ground or
crushed under a runner and sifted,
in this state is used for brass and
other metal work, and also for ia
PANIED, vanished and painted
goods, for which latter purpose it is
generally applied on wooden cloths
with water. Putty powder is the
pulverized oxide Of tin, or generally
of tin and lead mixed in various pro-
portions.
The process of manufacture is alike
in all cases. The metal is OXidiZed
in an iron mutfie, or a rectangular
box closed on all sizes except a square
hole in the front side. The retort is
surrounded by fire and kept at a red
heat, so that its contents are partially
ignited, and they are continually
stirred, to expose fresh portions tC
the heated air. The process is com.
plete when the fluid metal entirely
disappears, and the upper part of the
oxide then produces sparkles some
what like particles of incandescent
charcoal. The oxide is then remov,
ed with ladies, and spread over the
bottom of large iron cooling pans AND
allowed to cool. The Jumps of oxide
which are as hard as marble, are ther
selected from the mass and ground
dry under the runner; the putty pow
der is afterward carefully sifteC
through lawn.

Amusements in the Home.


Sunday School Times.
Amusements may be, and ought to
be,such as will aid in developing and
upbuilding child's manlinesS and
womanliness. Again, they may be
such as will prove an injury to the
taste and character of the child.
Even the simplest forms of amuse-
ment may have in them the one or
the other of these tendencies. A
child's earlier playthings and games
may have much to do with educat-
ing and training his eye and ear and
hand and voice and bodily move-
ments. They ought all to be watch>
ed and shaped accordingly. This one
is a fundamental one in the Kinder
garten system; and a study of the
methods of that system may be Of
service to a parent who would learn
how to guide child in his amuse'
ments in this direction.
Peculiarly is it important that a
child's amusements should not have
in them any element of chance, as
tending to give him the idea that his
attachments or progress in life will
depend in any measure upon "luck."
From his play with building-blocks
or with jack-straws, up to his games
of ball or of chess, every movement
that a child is called on to make in
the sphere of his amusements,, ought
to be one in which his success or his
failure is dependent on his skill or
his lack of it. A child may be harm
ed for life by the conviction that his
hope of success in the world rests on
that "streak of luck" which seemed
to be his in the games Of chance he
played in boyhOod. And child
may be helped for life by the charac-
ter which was developed in him in
his bOyhOod's games of skill. 1t was
an illustration of this principle when
the Duke of Wellington pointed to
the playground of Elton, and said,
at was there that the battle of Wa
terloo was Won"
