The glass eye trade of the United
States is in the hands of one firm; and
bat few people have any idea of the
immensity of their business. There is
in the United States a deficit ot some
60,000 eyes. Of this number about
J5,000 make use of glass-eyes. To
supply these over one hundred speci
mens of optics are manufactured. Some
rich, aristocrutio old gentlemen have
their eyes made to order.
'Because." The Oil City Derrick
ays rt. should celebrate Thanksgiving
because we have not got ten cent oil;
because we have not all been sold out by
the sheriff; because the dull times can
not last always; because the old thater
has been removed because the barrel
works didnot burn up; because we have
paved streets, and water works, and
and city taxes because a barrel of flour
will buy a vote; because Ben Butler was
defeated.
What an Inconvenient Record:
There wefe seven test votes' on the
salery grab bill. Every time N. P.

bill. Four times Ban Voorhees, of In
diana, voted tor the bill, tbe other three
rnes be did not vote at all. Three
es Fernando Wood, of New York,
voted for the bill; the remaining four
times he dodged. These are the three
men that are mentioned in connection
with the Speakership by the Democracy.

Good Air The following simple
method for ventilating ordinary sleeping
and dwelling rooms is recomended by
Mr. Ilinton in his "Physiology for
Practical Use:" "Piece of wood, three
inches high and as long as the breadth
of tho window is to be prepared Let
the sish be now raised the slip of wood
placed on tho sill, and the sash drawn
closely upon it If the slip has been
well fitted, there will be no draugh in
consequences of this displacement of the
sash at its lower part; but tho top of the
lower sash will overlap the bottom ot
the upper one, and between tho two
bars perpendicular currcuts of air, not
felt as draught, will enter and leave the
room."

E, ic Dispatch.
Aileisny Va'ley Railroad.
A Driftwood correspondent of the
Cameron Press writes as follows in ref
erence lu the Peuusylvau'u and Allegh
eny Valley railroad: "On the lGih
iust , 10'J laborers were discharged out
of the 2 i5 employed on tho Eastern
Division of llie A V It 11 between
Piiftwood aud lleynoldsville, iccludiug
one ballast traiu crew, two tract lore-
men aud gangs, and una quarry gangs
Great exertions have been made this
year, since the completion of the road
to get the track in good ruaoiug order,
a largo number of men being employed
on section and gravel trains. Now that
the work is completed the force lias boeu
reduced more thau halt, throwing a
large .uumber of men out of employment.
Those remaining woik only nine huun
per day at fil'tecu ceuts per hour.
"Work has been ccmiuieuced ou the
arching of Summit tunnel and i3 being
pushed forward as rapid'y as possible
working day und night. The roud is
now cousidercd one uf the best in the
Staie. Its masonary, road-bed, bridges
and tract were built without regard to
expense being carefully superintended
by aule engineers. Its tract consisting

ballasted up in such a manner as to

over the Allegheny mountains. The

been built for double track."
The Actual Cost of stoves.
Persons familiar with the cost of iron
castings in general business have often
doubtless wondered what there was in
stoves over similar fabrics ot iron to
make them so expeusive to users of
them. Compared to beds, tables, chairs,
carpets, aud other articles of prime
necessity in household use they are ex
orbitantly high. They last no longer
than domestic wares generally; and it
would seem ouirbt to approximate in
price to other utensils. The life of a
good stove is from five to ten years, ac
cording as it is used, which is no longer
than bedsteads, chairs, tables, and other
turuiture of (similar oualitv endure.
The Iron Moulders' Journal gives some
facts as to the cost ot making stoves,
which are of general interest, Mr.
John S. Perry, of Albany, calculates
that a gross ton of iron will make 2,120
pounds of clcau castings; which would
furnish seven stoves ot 300 pounds each.
He further calculates that the cost of
moulding per 100 pounds, is ?1S7J(
which would make the work on a stove
cost 84 12 for moulding. No. 1
foundry iron was quoted in New York,
September 10, at 830 per ton, which at
Mr. Perry's figures would make the iron
in a S00 pound stove cost $4 23; the
net cost for the stove in question being
$8 40. Such stoves are sold by dealers
without any furniture or fictures at $28
and $33 according to finish.
N'EWtsPAFEa Kt. porters. In a re
cent lecture Mark Twain gets off the
following: "I reported on a morning
newspaper three vents, and it was pretty
hard work. But I enjoyed its attrac
tions. Reporting is the best school in
the world to get a knowledge of human
beings, human nature and human ways.
A nice, gentlemanly reporter I make
no rcfercuce is well treated by every,
body. Just think of tho wide range of
acquaintanceship, his experience of life
and society! No other occupation brings
a man into such familiar, social relations
with all grades and classes of people
Tho last thing at night midnight he
goes browsing out after items among the
police aod jail birds, in tho lock-up
questioning the prisoners, and making
lasting friendship with si me of the
worst people in the world. And the
very ucxt evening ho gets himself up
regardless of expeuse puts on all the
clothes his friends have got, goes and
takes dioucr with tho Goveruor, or the
comiuandcr-in-chiet of the district, the
United States Senator, and some more
of the uppercrusl of society. lie is on
good terms with all of them, und is pie
sent at every public gathering, and has
easy access to every variety of people.
V by, I breakfasted almost eteiy inoiu-
ing with the Governor, dined with the
principal clergyman, and slept iu the
station-house. A reporter bus to lie a
little ol course, or they discharge htm.
That if the ouly drawback to the profes
sion. This is whv I left it. I am dif
ferent, from Washington. I have a
hi-htr and grander standard of princi
pal. Washington could not lie. I can
lie, but then it is distiessing to have to
lie so. Lying is lad lying is very bad
Every individual kuows that by experi
ence. I think that. tor a man to tell a
lie when be can't make anything by it,
it is wrong."

Pittsburgh, Nov. 15. A subunran
ean fire is raging in the portion ol this
city known as Heron ellill, which
threatens serious consequences to about
500 acres of improved property. In
digging out lor ihirty-third street
oeainst the bank somo three or lour
months ago, the workmen discovered a
strata of tho coal which is so plenty in
this oity. In order to warm coflee for
their lunches they discovered this to be
just the place, and accordingly lit fires
at the mouth. Gradually this slight
blaze has developed itself till now it is
a perfect volcano, whose ominous roar
ing can easily be heard by persons
traveling over the surface. No efforts
have been made to extinguish this blaze
and now it is spreading fearfully fast,
endangering life and property, llerou's
Hill is the highest point in Allegheny
county, and ou its summit is located one
of our water-reservoirs, which hos been
erected. Water was recently put in it,
but it leaked out. Lately, however, it
was fuuud that the water tlid not pass
out altogether from lvuks, but that a
poitmn has evaporated in steam, caused
by the immense) fire raging below.
There is danger of this work caving in,
and, should it go, the flames will receive
additional dtanght, and thus he the
harder to suhdue. and have a tendency
of spreading the lire sti'l further. The
ullnuate result ol this subterranean fire
eun hardlv bo told at present. Millions
ol improved property lie on tho hill and
in close proximity to these burning
mines, and, shtuild any settling of earth
occur at any point, the result would be
most disastrous. Efforts will be made
to conquer the flames by sapping and
uuiiiiig, but it will take months, and
prehaps years, to extinguish this mass of
burning coal, much ol which is burning
hundreds nf feet below the mrtace.
Charles and Mary Pithcr, charged
with adducting two Swiss girls for im
moral purposes, altera trial lasting four
lays were found guilty the other day in
New York cilv and sentenced to seven
aud live years iu the State Prison.
