Robert I'at s ' terson on the snbiect of Gen. Ctrant's conduct in the Mexican war. In T lie 1 course of the interview General J'atter- j son en vp his recollection of the Uuck- ! ! shot War in the following language : 1 , At tlie time of the Buckshot War I vvns in ' cornmanrt of tlie troops tliat niarehed from 1 ! tliis city to restore order and quell the riot. : ; The difficulty arose from a few of ttie lead- ! ! ers of the party t hen in power tr'inil to treat i i the election as a nudity and to retain posses- j sion of the (iovmuient for three years lonsi- : i er. (iovenior Kitner. a perfectly well-tneati-; incr man, was persuaded to eo -lperate in the , : matter. The friends of lavid K. Porter, I ! Ilemocrat camli.late, who had received a de- , 1 eid-d majority of the votes, were determined j : not tosutimit. and assembled at Harrishurg j 1 in immense mimlH'rs. They were led and : ' commanded bv about twenty-five offieers of ' (lie old regular armv of the war of 1S12. ! The moi, if may ine the word, surrounded ; , the Capitol and entered the isenate chamber ; ' and took possession, the Speakers and some : ! of the Senators jumping out of the bark ' ' windows to save themselves from the fury of the rioters. Whereupon an order was sent to me by the'lovernorof the State to proceed ' with my division of ld'.-ao men to Ilarristmrg. ' I, of co'urse, wished to go rejiared for emer- j s gencies, and obtained from the United States i Arsenal at Frankfort a full supply of auimu ' nition. For the infantry mainly buckshot I cartridge, which eons sted of a cartridge ' with twelve buckshot, each ns good as a bul : let. I did this certainly not from miv desire ' to kill any of those in possession of the. Sen- . 1 ate chamber, nianvof whom were personal 1 1 friends and old associates in the army. In- stead, 1 was prompted by a desire to save my . ' own people, in the event of a conflict, at close quarters, by rapidly laying over a few and : dispersing the leniairder. 11. ad good reason fortius, as my command I consisted in the main of the llower of 1'hila- , i dolphin the best young men in it, in fact. : ! The exceeding good conduct of the otlicers ! and men of tint command prevented a con ' tlict b(t worn the troops and the mob. If : Wood had been shed the whole State would 1 have been involved in a civil war. On my , arrival at 1 larrisburc 1, with my staff, re- ' 1 ported to the (iovenior at his residence, t Such was the panic at hat time in Ilan is burg that the (iovenior deemed it expedient to have nis door locked and barred, and we ! could not get in, until, alter repeated knock- i ing, a second story front window was opened ; ' raised, and the Governor in person leaned out and asked who was there, and .vhat was ! wanted. I looked up, gave him my name, , tn!! him 1 was there with my'diviion iuo!-ii:ev.c- to his orders, and had taken posses sion of the arsenal and -i:t my c. inaiaial in ' 1 a good position. I i ;i t. once rame down. opened ti e do..r r.nd asked us in. After we j were seated I asked tor his instructions and desired what lie wanted me to do. He said '; lie wNhed to have his Cabinet about him, and sent for them. Four or five responded and ' , he and they asked a variety of questions a lining oi h ers, if I would obey the order of r the Speaker of the Senate. I replied I would not, for that would be sustaining a paity, who, in 1 i . y judgment, had acted very im properly and who ought not to be sustained. ; 1 said 1 had not come for any political pur pose and would not sustain any p;irty in the j wrong; that my command was composed of both parties, nearly as many of the one asof : the other, who Would obey any command I 1 gave, because thev knew me wed enough to ! : know I would not give an improper one. 1 ; . was also asked if 1 would obi v a u order from the Speaker of the House. 1 said 1 would ; not. f. ir two reasons : First, t hey had organ ized themselves into two Houses, a Demo- . cratie House and a Whig Hou-e, a.id that I then did not know which was the light one. Bet if there was a regulars "a ker 1 would ' not obey lam as he had no light to give me orders. 1 w.is theie in obedience to the com mands of tiie to.Vi rii( r, end weiildo' ey no one cl-e. hut that 1 would protect the Capi tol and the public property a -id preserve or- -dcr. I wis then asked, and pressed for an an swer t y some of the Council or abinet, if I wouM ohey the orders of the Governor, i replied ihat I would obey all orders that the Governor had a rigid t: give. One of the !U.;t:ous f., hewing was : "What would you eoti-idi ra proper order?'' 1 replied, " will consider that when the order is given. If i rdi it d t i clear the Capitol and install in the ! chair ed iier i r bo: h of i he Speakers I won id not do it. That must be sett led by the Sen- , ' ators a id I'ej-.iesentatives themselves. If ; order,.. 1 to lire upon tlioe tin y choose to call KebcN I would not do it. nor would 1 permit i a single sh ) to be tired, except, in se!f-.e- : fen-:e, if assailed by the l;ebeis, os in the ! dor I ion 1 liUe-ic pp d ! y."

X. .1.. ha- caused iditny people to inquire how celluloid is :a;:de and for what, junjuwe it is used. Dr. W. H. "Wah! tolls in the ...? ,-e.o' , f (nth '';, what celluloid ii. ami ho v.- il is made, lie says : Briefly defined, celluloid is a species of ' solidified collodion, produced hv dissolving gun cotton ( pyrox one) i:: ram, ler w ith the ' ' aid ot heat aad pressure. The ;.lm cotton is ground in water to a tine pu'p in a machine sunil.ir to that used in giinding paper pulp. The peip is then subjected to powerful pres sure io a peil'oiated ve-sH to ex'rrnt the bulk ef the moisture, hut still leaving i:. siigl,: iy moist for the net ot-ei a'.ion. This consists in thoroughly he-orporiting frielv comminutcii gum eanii'ii-.r w ith the luois't eun-c..tton pulp. The proportions em:. loved arc said to be one pa; t bv weight of ramp'hor to two patts by weight "of the pulp. With this mixture any coloring matters required cm now be ineor-iorite-h The next stop is to subject the nia-s to p'.werfirV pressure hi ' older t.. expel from ir the remahiing traces ! of moisture and incidentally to e;leclTil-o the i i most intiim-te cos,ta"t of the camphor with ' the pulp. 1 h.; diied and compressed nia.ss is next placed in a mould, open at the top 1 into vvhi.-li fas a solid plunger.

When the mass is ; taken out of the press it hardens, and acquires the extraordinary toughness and elasticity ' vvhii-h are the di-'tliiguisliireg clnractet istics of this remarkable product. Cehuloid is j very largely used as a substitute for ivorv. 1 which is imitated with great s.,,.ros. -',,y I tnise shell, malachite, m-dhcr of pearl, coral, I and other costly and elegant materials, are also so surcesstehy imitated that an exnert can hardly detect the original from the c.'.pv.

The large figures at the top ot each column are called the "index figures"" for years and months. To find what liiui of the week any sjecial event hap pened, add the index of the yearandthe index of the month, together with the pi ven date, of the month in which you wish to find the day of the week. If there is no remainder then the day of the week is Saturday; if your remain der is one the day of the week is Sunday, t tc. If your whole numler is too small to divide by 7, you must take your whole number as it is if it is 3, the day of the week is Tuesday, and if it is l, the day ol the ve-k is Friday, and so on. There is one exception to t!:e above rule: in .hit: u irv and Fcbni'irv of leap year yon must call your whole number one less that i ;. if it is f). call it .1. I'cr example, take the 4lh day of -fuly, ls7:i: l'or the index figure of the year IST'.t see top ligure over ITtt, which is "; add the index tig tire of July, which yon will find at top over July is 3, then add iti '.he 4J.i day of July and you will have i; .'! 4.

Ween we look at the hundred and liily-two little boxes, somewhat shaded with the tench of inky f.i.irers tliat compose the prinler's 'ease,' noisele-s. except the click of the type : as one by one they takethejr place in the crowhm line we think we have found the marvel of art. We think how many fancies in fiane-nts, there are in those little boxes, how many atoms (( poetry and eloquence the printer can make here ami there, if he had only a little clcii i to work by : how neuiy facts in a sumil 'handful." how much truth in a chaos. Now he picks up the scattered elements, nut il he holds in his hand a -dana of ' .ray's Kiecy, ' or a monody upon (irimes' All but toned t'p l'.efore." Now he sets 'puppy Mis sini'.' ;i"d now 'Paradise host ;' he arrays a briduin 'Small caps,' and a sonnet in non pareil ; he announces the lancuishiiiix 'live' in one sentence transposes tho word and depiores tiie days that are few and 'evil' in t he next. A j'oor jest ticks its way slowly into the nrinfer's hand, like a clock past runninir Town, and its strain of eloquence marches into line letter by letter. We fancy we can tell the difference by hearing by the ear, but ei haps not. 'I he tj p: that told a wedding yesterday announces a burial to-morrow perlmns the seme letters. They are in the elements to make a world of. Those type are a world with something in it as beautiful as spring, as rich as sum mer ami as imperishable as autumn ilowers frost cannot wilt fruit that shall ripen for all time. TlIK MANCFAf TfllE OK SLATE PlCX- i n.s. The process of making slate pen cils is thus described by the Aiirri-tn St':.ti'.i. r : Proken slate from the slate quarries is put in a mortar run bv steam, and pounded into small particles. Tlcnce it goes into the hop per of a mi! I. which runs into a "bolting ma chine." where it is "bolted," the finer, al most impalpable. Hour that results being taken to a mixing tub, where a small quanti ty of steatite flour, .similarly manufactured, is added, together with other materials, the hole being made into a still domzli. This dou.'h is kneaded thoroughly by passing it several times between iron rollers. Then it is conveyed to a table, where it is made into "changes'' that is, shoi t cylinders, four or five inches thick, and containing some eight or twelve pounds each. Four of these are placed in a strong iron chamber, or ''retort," with a changeable nozzle so as to regulate the sie of the pencil, and subjected to tre mendous hydraulic pressure, under which the composition is pushed through the nozzle in a long cord, like a slender snake sliding out of a hole, and passes over a sloping tal.ie, siit at right angles with the cords to a knife which cuts them into lenglhs. They are tncii laid on noanis to dry, an. I alter a few hours are removed to sheets of corrugated zinc, the corrugations serving to prevent the pencils from waiping during the process of baking, to which they are next subjected in a kiln, n.to whe-h -upci heated steam is in troduced in pipes, the temperature being regulated accenting to the requirements of the article expo-ed to its influence. From the kiln the article goes to the finishing and packing room, where the ends are thrust for a second under rapidly revolving emery wheels, and were drawn neatly and smooth ly pointed ready for use. Tuk Filthy Ftps. A correspond ent thus describes the character iuul hai'ils of I he Indians who have ltecn giving the government so much trouble: "The Ftes live principally on bread and meat. When they can't get" bread they live on meat, and when they can't get meat they live on bread. When they have a great quantity of provisions on hand they cat it all up before getting any more. The same is true when they iiave a small quantity on hand. They are dirty. They are very (iirtv. Their meat is generally permitted 'to lie about on the ground or an place. Kach In dian family possesses any nuinlxT of dogs troin eight to lifteen, and these animals help themselves to the meat. After they have satisfied themselves, and when the Indians become hungry, they cut out of this same piece on which the dogs feed. They gen erally boil their meat, ' but sometimes they broil it. They put it in water and let it re main only a few minutes, just long enough to heat, when they take it out and begin to eat. They use the same water and the sam e pail for boiling over and over again until the water becomes a pertect slime of tilth. Due pot generally does service for the entire family. This particular pot is a frying pan. When the Utes get out of bed they wash their faces and bathe the baby in it, after which they hake the bread and boil the meat. I hen they eat out of the vessel, and then the dogs lick up the leavings. They clothe themselves with tbe skins of animals or with blankets. They generally take a blanket or a skin and cut a hole in the middle of it, and throw it over their heads, cutting arm boles and fastening the garments at the waist with withs belt, while tiiey close up the neck with a buckskin string. When tlie garment wears out they cut the stringand let it drop, bnt not Ik tore. Sometimes the Indians will wear as many as five of these garments at a tibie, a!w:r r; keeping tlie t leanest 0'ie on Hie ei!:-!'!- ." Y .
