ment aid. Every one knows who has
studied the question that this country
has no. given proper protection to
American steamships. We determined
in the List Congress TO apply the law OF
protection to American ships. Under
that law new steamships have been es-
tablished and sixteen American steam
ships have been constructed, or arc to
the American marine, and under our
contracts we, in case OF need, add six
great steamships to tho American navy.
Mr.. Cochran takes the usual Demo-
cratic stand in regard to the Fitty-tirst
Congress, otherwise called by the DEM
ocrats the ''Billion Dollar Congress" /
want to say to you that it was billion
dollar Congress-this is q billion-dollar
country. They talk Of the extravagant
appropriations, of the Fifty-tirst Con-
gress. They cannot put their finger
upon a single dollar with just criticism,
nor show where one dollar OF money
has been stolen from this government
by any man appointed by General Har-
rison. The real secret OF 1t Is that the
item they most complain oil they dare
not mention; that is tho item OF sixty
odd million OF dollars additional appro-
priation for the widows Of Union SOL
diers.
The most important of all to Mr..
Cochran appears to be what is known
as the ELECTIONS Bill" He says: at
is an attempt to create federal control
OF elections, and further, the United
States judges are to appoint in each
state q general supervisor OF election,
and that supervisor has complete con-
troll over tho electionin every district in
the state" Take, for instance, South
Carolina. The judges Of election ap-
pointed through the state officers for
state elections are SO managed that not
a single Republican judge or Republi-
can clerk is allowed 10 be on the inside
where the ballot is cast and counted.
The bill called the force bill does not
allow the federal supervisor to inter-
fere or to touch the state returns in re-
gard to the election OF congressman or
anybody else, but simply provides that
Supervisors OF both parties shall be
present when the ballots are cast and
help count them.

There is every indication that Godcy'S
Magazine for October, ready September
10, will mark an era in periodical litera-
ture. This will no longer be known as
Godey's Lddy's Book, but Godsys Ameri-
cas- F'irS MdgDZine. established 1880. In
the first place, the magnificent work Of
art "Godey's Idea Of the Worlds
Fair" which is to be presented to ev-
cry purchaser Of this number, ia said to
be so beautiful and artistic in design
and coloring that every one will want
it. 1t is,a faithful reproduction Of one
OF w. Granville Smiths latest and
greatest pictures, produced expressly
for Godey's. The publishers guarantee
that the magazine itself will be filled
with surprises and beauties from cover
to cover. First in the contents comes
John Habberton's complete novel
"Helen's Babies" fully illustrated by
Albert B. Wenzell. This is an idea
first conceived by Cooley and now pro-
duced with brilliant success. Godey's
fashion will be most conspicuous and
beautiful feature OF the publication,
there being, in addition to carefully
edited descriptions and fashion articles,
four exquisite plates produced in ten
colors, and representing four OF the
leaders of New York society, attired in
The latest Paris costumes. Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher's "Home" department
will be read by the women Of America
with delight, and all the Magazines old
admirers will read with interest Albert
H. Hardy's carefully written article on
"Godey's, Past and Present" Among
the choice verses is the latest poem
written by the late Josephine Pollard.
John Habberton reviews all the books,
and the whole forms such rich literary
feast that to examine number OF the
new Godey's will mean to irresistibly
desire it.

POINTS ON BRICKS.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning the
History of PIaih Building Material.

History of PIaih Building Material.
Ina paper on s'Brick Manufacture
recently published by F. A. Ca1kins in
the Transactions of the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers, the following
interesting historical facts were brought
out:
The art of brick making is supposed
to have originated in ancienttimes with
the powerful races found in Egypt,
Chaldea and China, in the old world,
and in Mexico and Peru in the new.
The ruins of buildings and tOmbs left
IN these countries testify that they were
skillful builders. Rawlinson states
that the dimensions of bricks baked by
the Chaldeans were TX inches square
and IN inches thick, and those of later
date Is inches square and inches thick.
All are familiar with the Egyptian
method of tempering clay with stick
and drying in the sun 5000 years ago.
Compare the ancient method with the
practice at the present time In any
small town where bricks are made, or
even at the brickyards on the Hudson;
there pug mills will be found In opera
ton which are only a combination on
several sticks and a mule; and green
bricks are still dried in the sun the
same as was practiced by the anc1ents,
showing little advance in 5000 years.
The first bricks manufactured and
burned in this country We're at New
Haven, Conn, in the year 1850, and the
next city to claim early manufacture
is Philadelphia, where they were made
thirtv-five years later, in 1855. The
first brick machine of which We have
any record was made IN Philadelphia IN
1S4O 1t was soft clay machine oper-
ated by horse power. This machine
was destroyed in 1874 during a riot,
caused by the bricbmakers fearing 1t
would take bread out of their mouths.
In 1s47 dry clay machine was made IN
| the latter city. That the molding of
bricks by hand can be done rapidly was
clearly demonstrated at Cincinnati IN
| 1882. The molding of 1000 bricks was
then considered regular days work.
In contest at this day between two
expert nolders, working from sunrise
to sunset, one nodded 24,700 bricks and
the other s5,470. A similar number
were nodded at contest in PhiladeI-
| phia at a Later date.
