"The Xfcw York JTera'd has just sent two of the best men it can get to the Pacific Coast," excitedly re marked a journalistic friend of mine at the Fifth Avenue the other night 'They will organize the "Western war correspondence bureau," he continued. "I am privately informed that the Sttn, the World and the Tribune have taken similar steps, nnd the Times, which makes a special feature of "Western news, will concentrate its. intel lectual forces at San Francisco." How men awaken to the realities of war when it touches their business! "War correspondence! "War news! Off for the front! Special wires couriers full reports newspaper boats movements of troops rumored engagements at sea extras upon extras full accounts of the battle additional reports terrible execution of modern guns lists of the killed and wounded and drowned! To thousands of men who live to-day all this has a f.imiliar and ominous sound. "We who liaie had practical knowledge of war, who have trained in the ranks through long find weary marches for months and years and who lme survived the pestilence of camp and the sporadic storms of battle, alone realize lully what war means. The youngest of us is now beyond fighting age. Yet we are not beyond the age when the blood mounts hotly at the roll of the drum, and when the spirit responds quickly to the call to arms. "Why this eternal,unchangcable hankering after human blood? Patriotism? Then, is there no patriotism of peace? Is patriotism always to be the synonvm of gore? Is the man of peace necessarily the enemy of his country? The war party is "invariably deemed the patriotic pariv. It is the same in Chile as it is in the United States. It has always been so. It is brute human nature in indi viduals, and it is collective human nature in nations to settle difitrences by blows. Theie are certain differences that are almost universally recognized as adjustable by no other method. If a man should deliberately spit in another's face the insulted might in stantly fclay the insulter where he stood and go acquited of all human laws. There is no arbitration for such things. So there are in tuits extended to nation that admit of but a single alternative physical chastisement. To not resent the insult to the individual is cowardice, to oppose the national revenge of war is to be unpatriotic But is the present insult one of the unpardonable kind? A Tlm- Tor Calm KeOctlon. To fight or not to fight that is the qnes tion. Whether it is nobler in the mind of Americans to take up arms against a weak - "-ister republic for real or alleged grievances arising Aihile that unhr.ppily divided nation was issuing from the bitter throes of revo lution, orto bear with her until she is fairly restored to local governmental authority and respect, is a subject for reasonable dif ference of opinion even among ourselves. "While it is pending while the war feeling is hot and every other man you meet flies off at a patriotic tancent, let us calmly consider our own situation in the light of the proba ble results of war. "The war party" is an cxpssion now heard every dav a catch phrase seen in every newspaper. It implies an anti-war' party. The war party :u.d the auti-war party are not as vet sharply defined, hut a strong anti-war party may be developed ere I vinu uwsiiuMe:, ureas, out, or neiore tne final, peaceful i-ettlement of the Chilean nounles. There is a war party in Chile and that is the great popular miss, just as is the war party of the United States. There is an anti-ar party in Chile and that is the intelligent few, and that intelligent Jew are in control of the Government. If tle latter invoke lar it will be because the loral political situation forces that alterna tive. "While on onr side the political situa tion is not leps interesting, it is quite differ ent. Our war party is headed by the Piesident of the United States, who seek' re-election, and commands the sirrro-t ot the great body of the party in political power and the sympathy of the army and navv whose business interests are best subserved bv war. As a purely selfish political move the Harrison administration could probably invent no more popular issue than justifiable war. There was in this care no need of invention the excuse came along of its own motion, and is seized upon by the administration. It is a trump card, and if pl-ijcd for all it is worth, will rive the Repulbican party a long lease of na tional power. "War is a" fertilizer of fields nnd a vitalize 0f political parties. It wipes out all other issues. It gathers about the war party the great national sympathy like a garment. All that is requited to more firmly consolidate public sentiment upon ice war parry is opposition. If the opposition come fmm the natural political antagonist so much the better. It makes a more distiuct issue. r- liy tl.e Democrats Prefer Peace. Doubtless there are national Democrats who foresee the political results at home in a war between the United States and Chile. They feel the aime instinct ot patriotism as burns in the Presidental breast and will hold the flag ot toe nation, party of no party. If, individually, some conscientiously believe that we have not rufficient cause and that war under the circumstances is wrong; or it they feci that they are not justified in assisting to fortify the Ilepubli cans in national office, it is not likely thev tiili dare present what might be called a Democratic front asratnst it The nu mories of il are " yet to frcslu The Democratic party " in Congress press is called upon by the chief Dcmo- rratic newspaper organ in :ms citv to stamp out the war issue. The Democratic House enmstances actual war must practically wipe out the Democratic party as defined by some of its distinguished 'leaders, be cause it wonld destroy or indefinitely nost pone the issues which these leaders deem the lifeblood of the organization. With war and its fearful cost the question of tariff reform would be relegated to the in visible rear, aud the question of free coin age would probably give way for fresh paper issues. New taxes would have to be laid, and instead of enlarging the free list the things already free would have to be taxed to raise war revenues. The entire list of the necessaries of life would jump to a war figure. Perhaps even the internal revenue system would have to be extended to articles so recently made free. It would depend upon the resistance we encountered from the enemy and the duration of the struggle. With such a people and in such a country subjugation would not immedi ately follow victories at sea, blockaded ports and ruined cities. The war might, under the most favorable circumstances, last a long time and prove expensive. A formidable list of pensioners would be added to the already enormous roll. All this monev would be raised by additional duties on imports and by other methods of taxation. The issue of tariff reform would necessarily vanish, just as it vanished in 1SG0, and would remain out of sight until the expenses of war began to approach a settlement "Where would then bn the Democratic party? In short, war with Chile would change the entire political conditions of this coun try as they exist to-dav. It would change th'em at once in a Jay. The war party would be the onlv party worth mentioning until new political conditions should arise upon which the people might divide. If the war should he short, sharp and espe cially brilliant and redound much to our national credit, it would be a long time and the reasons extraordinary before the Ameri can people turned theirbacks upon the party that successfully prosecuted it. "Would It Lead to a Mild Monarchy? There is another result of such a war a resnlt more important to us as a nation than the war itself, and that is the increase of the existing tendency toward national ism or centralization. The present genera tion has witnessed the gradual but certain obliteration of State lines and the merging of powers originally reserved to the several States in the general Government at "Wash- mcton, until there is very little material independence left to the former. The mod ification in our Government form is still goiurr on. It needs only a powerful navy and increased standing army on the one hand and Federal control of tne railroad and telegraph lines on the other to prepare ns for "a spcics of paternalism and federal domination not only never contemplated by the founders of this Government, but never dreamed of by the wildest socialistic vision aries of 18G0. War develops the national feeling, and. the power3 of the Federal Gov ernment are increased by the people's repre sentatives in Congress assembled. War strengthens the Union at the expense of the autonomy of its several parts. Prettv soon we shall have one of the most formidable navies of the civilized world, and our sea coast will bristle with modern defenses. For every man who is ready to go to war now we shall then have 100 belligerent citizens, and for every Federal uniform at the pub lic crib at present we shall then have ten liveried officials; and finally, to support this national maenificence a tax of $2 will grow where only ?1 grew before. As we depart from our national simplicity and assume the grandeur of empire we must ac cept the consequences in increased taxation. the surrender of our local individuality and the sacrifice of personal liberty. It will injure nobody to look the truth in the face nnd the act may fortify us against the surprises that are doubtless lyinc in wait beneath the yet impenetrable shadows of the future.

INSTRUCTIONS AS TO UW TO PROCEED Tme porcelain is pure white, very hard, trans lucent, and almost infu sible. "While the Chinese and Japanese have manu factured excellent porce lain from time immemo rial, it was not till 1709 that this most exquisite material was first pro duced in Europe. It was in the transition period from alchemy to chemis try. Experts in the chem ical knowledge of that time were still holding it possible to convert baser materials into gold -by chemical operations, involving the action of high temperature, for a long time. "When haying a semblance of success, these men were called adepts. They were maintained by princes, and furnished with all the means of experimentation they desired, but kept tinder rigid guard, so that their work, if successful, would be of benefit to no one else. At the very beginning of the eighteenth century, John Frederick Boettcher was con sidered an adept in Berlin, "When Fred erick I., says the American Agriculturist, tried to capture him, he managed to reach Saxony, where August II., of Poland and Saxony, put him under close guard on the fortress of Konigstein to make gold. The numerous experiments of Boettcher, mainly under taken wiiu a view oi getting crucioies uiai would stand the highest degree of heat lor a long time, finally resulted in his discovery of the making of genuine porcelain. Imme diately a large factory was established at Meissen, which to this day has remained foremost in the ranks of this art Genuine l'orcelam Js the Best For table use no material can compare with genuine porcelain. Its finest pieces are costly as gold, but are not corroded chemical'ly,v nor injured mechanically bv knife and fork, remaining perfect through generations, although in constant use. Painting on this matchless material is one of the most beautiful of arts, and one that may be cultivated to ahigh degree. Anyone is able to "decorate" china with imported transfer pictures. Such work looks very well; that must be admitted, for shading. Grass and leaves are painted with grass green; blue added for bluish green, and mixing yellow for yellow green. The most brilliant green is produced with jonquil yellow. For extreme dark shadows use black ercen. but cautiously, for it is a color of great intensity. Grayish shadows J are enected upon the addition or carmine and purple. For touches of brown and red, use dark brown and iron violet Butterfly, bird and bee are a pleasing ad junct to floral designs. Black markings and veinings of wings are prodneed with ivory black. Fill the intermediate spaces with varying proper colors. Sepia is the correct coior ior Drown, ana mixing yeuuw for the yellow. Shade with brown green. Gold Ig an Effective Element Gold is an effective element in chinapaint-ipg'- It comes in the form ot a powder, a liquid, and a paste, for relief work. As full directions accompany these preparations, it is needless to dwell further upon them. Never lay gold and colors one over the other, neither must their 'edges be allowed to impinge; either would be disastrous in firing. Gold is put on as a band, a Greek fret, or an artistically irregular dabble. Nothing exceeds the elegant simplicity of tha finest china, ornamented with gold. The china must be flawless, clear, and of the highest luster. Its sole decoration consists of fine linings of gold down the entire snr face, with a finish of deep bands of gold. Cups, saucers and plates are decorated in a like nianner. Dinner sets decorated with monosram in gold are in high favor. The monogram must be exactlv in the center of the space to be ornamented. Old English letters are best. They require precise drawing, and must be taken from an authentic alphabet. Before attempting a full set, it is advisable to experiment on a plaque or a plate, a flat surface being more easily treated than a round. ' SAW WITHOUT 'EYES.

THEIR MINDS WERE THEIE MIRRORS Patience and Time All That Is Necessary. Anyone able to draw can reproduce the design in sepia on a porcelain plaque, for it is simply etching. In colors, an idea easi ly executed is that of a cluster of wild roses. If patience, time or means are lacking for the painting of a full service, individual cups and saucers, fruit and nut plates can becreditably decorated by anyone at all skilled with brush and palette. Indeed, it will prove more satisfactory in the end to practice considerably in this way before at tempting an entire set The possibilities of a single color in deep ening toue3 are vividly set forth in the cut, which presents a unique Chinese inspira tion in green.

Indeed, for any art work, drawing is the best foundation. Cultivate a correct taste, through study of" the finest models, and unconseiously the eye is trained to perceive rare things in art and nature, and the hand acquires the poncr to transcribe these impressions. The liberty of choice enjoyed in mixing oil and water colors is impossible in china painting. The chemical changes wrought through the final process of firing prohibit mixtures that are harmless in either oil or water-color painting. Naturally, the diffi culties of indiscriminate mixing would in volve a greater assortment of colors. But' it is better to employ a limited palette, un derstand its full capacity before increasing, study effects nnd deportment of colors when acted upon by the fire. Composition of the Colors. It is of primary importance to know to what extent iron is present in the composi tion of colors. L The whites, blues, and gold colors con tain no iron. 2. The yellows and greens contain but little iron. 3. The reds, flesh tints, red brown, and iron violets; the browns, brown yellows, ochres, blacks, and most grays, contain iron as a base. If painting from copy, one in water-color is best adapted for reproduction on china. As in all arts, it is advised to work from life or nature. Nothing affords better sub jects for china painting than the floral realm. Jb runs are also good. Always ar range flowers in a careless, graceful manner, devoid of any artificial stiflness. In paint ing petals, the strokes of the brush are made from the circumference toward the center of the flower, and in foliage from the prominent vein out to the edge. Parallel veined leaves and grasses are painted with strokes from the apex to the base. The surface of the china serves as the local tint in painting white flowers. In the shadows always aim to attain transparency, which is best taught and learned through experience. The shadows are effected with yellow and gray, or a gray made of black with a trifle of blue. Hijjh lights are touched with permanent or Chinese white. Yellow centers of flowers are painted with mixing yellow, shaded with brown green, or heightened with jonquil or orange yel low. Before painting the center, scrape away any underlying tint, so that the yel low is applied directly to the surface ofthe china. Yellow flowers are painted with mixing or jonquil yellow, shaded with brown green, 'and tinted with iron violet Pink flowers are produeed with carmine, and the proper shadowing with a gray, made of carmine and apple green. How tho Coloring Is Done. Dark crimson is made with deep nurnle. shaded with the same. Bed flowers appear through the use of capucine red, orange Chrysanthemum Derian. grain, that have seemingly fallen upon the corner of the plate. A bit of harmony in blue and gold is ex quisite. Tho plates are tinted a celestial blue and ornamented with a convention alized floral piece, or a geometric design. All fines are defined in gold relief. A pleasing border in browns, for a set of plates, is snggested. The edges are finished with a nariow gold band. Dainty Sprig for Slmplo Decorations. The 'Trench sprig" is the most dainty and simple of decorations for a tea service. It consists of forget-me-nots and golden sprigs, in relief, loosely interlaced over the entire surface; finish with blue or gold band, another fancy for a set is that of daisies or roses, outlined with raised gold. Tint a delicate blue, paint large white daisies, finally border each flower and petal with gold paste; burnish, and finish with a fine gold edge. A fruit set, decorated with clus ters of strawberries, fully and partially ripe, mingled with its snowy blossoms, is an ex cellent subject for a beginner. Another cnt shows pieces of a chrysanthemum coffee set. The ground is laid a rich cream, the blossoms Tainted in carrot red, with foliage in brown green. After all this fascinating artistic work comes the really critical point the firing. 4 r- t A litrd and Butterfly Design. This decides the success or failure of the undertaking. The firing may be done by the amateur with "china kilns." heated with gas or gasoline, or "mufilers," oper ated with coal. These are excellent, but it is more reliable, and not expensive, to have the firing done by a professional at least until some experience has been acquired, ririnjrs That Are Necessary. It is generally believed that two to three firings are indispensable for work embracing various colors. There are certain elaborate effects that can onlybe produced by two or more firings, but one firing answers all prac tical purposes. The beginner anil careless artist may require a firing for the tinted ground, another upon the painting of the de sign, and a third for -the application of I Samuel Morrison, a blind gentleman, was buried this week at Tarentum. He was 80 years of age. His wife, who was also blind, died four years since. The couple lost their sight at the same moment, 4Q years ago. An affliction of sore eyes had swept oyer the village, and Mr. and Mrs. Morrison sought medical aid for themselves. In the treat ment that followed lunar caustic was ap plied, and they both became stone blind. All the other villagers recovered. Had they known the long, long life that was yet before them, Mr. and Mrs. Mor rison would scarcely have had courage to look forward. Of 50 years of married life, they were doomed never to see one another the larger part of that sacred partnership. Of the child born to them shortly after the accident, they were never to know anything of the bright, happy face except the vague impressions from the sense of touch; never to see the little one's strong, healthy eyes never to know whether they were of the color of mother's, or of father's, which? A sturdy, fearless Abolitionist at the timef he was never to read the proclamation of emancipation, or have eyes to see his neighbors come marching home from the war that was to arise and free the slaves. A boatman on the old Pennsylva nia Canal, his eys were closed too soon to see the imperial procession of freight trains which, with the increasing commerce oi tne land, thundered past his door in all his sightless years. He had often been in Pittsburg m early manhood, and when his eyes closed 40 years ago, it was witn a very vivid picture, of what the city then looked like. And for 40 years since, lie has lived within sound, almost, of Pittsburg, and was doomed never to see its grand growth ! Progress Mirrored on His Mind. And, yet, this blind man watched the marvelous growth of Pittsburg watched it without eyes. If he happened to be in the city on a visit, and was told of such and such a street that he was passing along, he could very quickly tell by a glance at that vivid photograph of the "city 40 years ago hanging in his mind, whether this was a new street, or an extension of an old thorough fare. A mental note of the knowledge thus gained would be like so much of an ex tension of Pittsburg's map in his brain. He noted the erection of a new Court House, a new Library in Allegheny, or a new building of any prominence, and thus at all times he was able to talk intelligently to you about the great city, though he had not seen it for tour decades. "All the politics I ever knew I learned sitting in the lap of this blind man," re marked a prominent citizen of Tarentum to the writer. Mr. Morrison was public-spirited at the time of his affliction, and up to the hour of his death was one of the best read men in Allegheny county. The daily newspapers from Pittsburg were read to him every morning. "The "Washington news first, please," he would say. Lately, he had been an absorbed spectator of the Chilean diplomatic muddle. Political movements, national, State, county, or bor ough, never escaped him. As a Whig he had consistently adopted the doctrines ot the Abolitionists when but two others in the neighborhood had the moral courage to do the same. La t Tly, he had been a Prr bibitionist. lie steadily voted that ticket as much for economic reasons, it was his boast, as for moral questions. Besides his extensive reading, he pos sessed a fund of anecdote that was 'Valuable from its bearing on the history of the Al legheny Valley. He had been born in Armstrong county, near Preeport. A man living 80 years, in one section, nnd with half of that long span of life indelibly im printed on his memory from constant thinking since his 'eyes were sealed up, must be regarded as au authority on matters of 'early history. Kindly Cared for by Providence. In the annals of the blind there is not to be found a more striking example of pa tience or Christian fortitude under the curse of perpetual darkness. To be born blind fits a person for the struggle ahead because he or she never knew anything cite. But here was a man and his wife blinded in middle life. The calamity de scended swiftly upon them. It was a colossal grief not to be overridden in a day. But a merciful Providence hid from them the length of time yet ahead, and blessing both with splendid bodily health, restored their courage. Prom that day to this neither was ever heard to murmur at their lot, nor to look weary and wish the cheer less, sightless life ended. Mrs. Morrison was a sweet singer.. Her delicious voice never broke, and to the latest it was a treat to he in the room and listen to her quaint humming of hymns and melodies. Both wife and husband were wonderfully stored with the writings of the Bible. Sometimes, as her daughter would be read ing aloud from tho Holy Book, Mrs. Mor rison would skip along ahead in her joyous nes, reciting verse after verse, and -the daughter with the book would have to ask her to wait until she could catch up. The blind couple were Methodists, and always attended the church in Tarentum. Cer tainly, that congregation numbered no more faithful nor any better educated, either, along doctrinal points than they. A Brave and Dutiful Daughter. Mention is made above of a daughter born after the accident 40 years since. That daughter whom they never saw was their attendant ever afterward. Nothing could coax her away from' that home. Her life work, she knew, was to use her eyes for her parents who had none. Her life has been noble. There could never be a chair out of place lest one of the old folks should stumble against it. There was a great deal of reading aloud to be done. Through such remarxaDie watcntulness and care as this, the daughter made the lives of her blind parents delightful. The town of Tarentum esteemed Mr. and Mrs. Morrison nnd now its universal conso lation is with this bereaved daughter, Miss Mary, whose life was so closely modeled after her parents for self-deniaL T;o other older daughters live in New Jersey, Miss Belle and Mrs. Margaret "Williams. JDST A CENTURY. OLD. Sketch of Dr. John Cunningham, Descend ant of One of "Washington County's Sturdy Presbyterian Patriots He Cast His First Votn 70 Years Ago A Bright Brain to the Lnf. ' Dr. John Cunningham, of "Wooster, O., died "Wednesday last in the 100th year of his age. He .was born in "Washington, Pa., February 10, 1792. His father, Samuel Cun ningham, emigrated from county Derry, Ireland, in 1780, and settled in "Washington, where he married Elizabeth, the daughter of the Hon. Thomas Scott, the first member of Congress from "Western Pennsylvania. After completing his studies in the home college he was graduated at the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, then in its infancy, the journey to and from which he made on horseback. He married Maria, the daughter of General Bezin Beall, of Wooster, O., at which place he spent the iuei ou years oi ms ii:e. Dr. Cunningham possessed a most reten tive memory, and as he always took a lively interestin current events, lie abounded in interesting reminiscences of the early his tory of Western Pennsylvania. He often spoke of his grandfather, Hon. Thomas Scott, whom he highly honored and of whom he had many anecdotes to relate, and who had been with General Washington in his dperations abound the headwaters of the Ohio, and in the war of the Revolution he was left in Washington in charge of the home soldiers to protect the town against the hostile Indians. The Doctor distinctly remembered when a child seeing his grand father, accompanied by an armed gnard, leaving Washicgton to take his seat ia Con gress. . . As a boy he knew most of the active leaders of both sides in the Whisky Insur rection. He frequently saw Aaron Burr, while on his treasonable missionary tour, before his famous visit to Blennerhasset Ban- tried his arts on General Morgan, the grandfather of our Calonel Sidney Morgan, of the Allegheny Arsenal, Colonel John Purviance and other leading men of this re gion, but he made no headway with them or among the sturdy Presbyterian patriots of tv asmngion county, and iett tnem to try for better success further West The Doctor cast his first Presidental vote for Madison in 181C, and his last for Harri son in 1888, and was always on the one side, Federal, Whig, and Republican, success ively. During his stated visits to his daugh ter, Mrs. David B. Oliver, of Oliver Bros., of our city, which he enjoyed most thor oughly, he was often visited by old friends, in which his remarkable clearness of mem ory and knowledge of early events frequent ly assisted in determining doubtful questions relating to the early settlement of our west ern counties. Until within a few days of- his death he read the. daily newspapers with as much zest as a man of 30. As a companion he was most entertaining and amusing, with good powers of expression and a fund of dry hnmor. He was noted for his upright ness and integrity of character and con tempt of all that was mean or deceitful. His splendid constitution, temperate habits and cheerful disposition enabled him to ward off many of the infirmities of old age, and his death leaves a void which cannot be filled.

If the paintinjr should not have received a satisfac tory decree of glaze in the firing, the de ficiency may be restored by applying a light wash of one of the more fusible colors, in which case another firing is required.

How it brings up the pleasures of the past, and hides its unpleasantnesses! You recall your childhood days, do you not, and wish they would return? You remember the pleasant associa tions, while the unpleasant ones are forgotten. Perhaps to your mind comes the face of some friend. It was once a pale, sad face. It showed marks of pain, lines of care. It seemed to be looking into the here after, the unknown future. And then you recalled hW it brightened, how it recovered its rosy hue, how it be came a picture of happiness and joy. Do you remember these things? Many people do, and ,gladly tell how the health returned, how happiness came back, how the world seemed bright. They tell how they were once weak, nerveless, perhaps in pain, cer tainly unhappy. They tell of sleep less nights, restless days, untouched food, unstrung nerves. And then they tell how they became happy, healthy and strong once more. You have heard it often in the past, have you not? You have heard people describe how they were cured and kept in health? You certainly can rememberwhat it is that has so helped people in America. If not, listen to what Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, who is known universally as the great dress reformer, says: "Six years ago, when suffering from mental care and overwork, I received the most pronounced benefit from the use of that great medicine, Warner's Safe Cure." Ah, now you remember. Now you recall how many people you have heard say this same thing. Now you recollect' how much you have heard of this great Cure. Now you are ready to admit that memory is usually pleasing, that the highest pleasure comes from perfect health, and that this great remedy, has done more to produce and prolong health than any other discovery ever known in the entire history of the whole world.
