I 3 C Diplomatic Small Clothes. The Pall Mall Gazette thus discourses of the dress of American Ministers • In the course of a few days we shall hare the new Ministor from the United States among ns, and almost the first question he will find it necessary to decide relateito the clothes he intends to wear on State occa sions. FortunatelY it is a question that need not cause him. any great embarrass= meat., American Congress insisted, some -- time ago that citizens of the ;United States should, be allowed to go anywhere they pleased in any sort of raiment, and the right is freely accorded. The. ex -Minister. to this country was more , than once given io understand that Her Majesty would be happy to see him in such' attire as lies:' ' thought proper to assume, but Mr. Adam did not deem it respectful to the English Monarch to walk into her presence in &garb which rendered him conspicuous, while the, representatives of other Powers were not, too proud to dress themselves in conformity with the usages of the Court. It thus hap pened that Mr. Adams was never seen at Royal receptions toward the end 'of his term, but a notice regularly appeared set ting forth that the United States Minister was :kept away "by - unavoidable cireuin stances." This caused up diplomatic mis understanding, for it wa&generally Under stood that the question at isSue was nothing more serious than the cut of a worthy gen man's coat and breeches. - - We all respected the motive which led Mr. Atlanta to absent himself from State ceramics. as in everything else, his, course, was dictated by the highest sense of courte sy towards others. But senator Johnson will be placed in such different circumstances that he need not recognize the fact of any difficulty having been experienced -at the' Legation. He' finds a regulation of Con already in force, and he has known no, other. He has therefore only to present himself beffire" her Majesty in ordinary evening dress and not a word will ,be said to him on. the subject. Diplomatists of older standing might perhaps feel that Con gress had interfered in what was essentially a private matter, and had even caused them to suffer some loss of dignity. Almost any sensible man who was ordered by a body of legislators to wear at Court, a particular dress and no other, and singled , out a dress which infringed a general custom of the country in which he was plaged, would feel that he was being suhjectod to petty vexations and restrictions. But Mr. Bever dy Johnson need not feel that the dictation of Congress has thus followed him into his very dressing room. We trust, therefore, that he will present himself -at Court, and continue to do so, even though Congress should some day prescribe as a uniform the dress of the big Indian, beautifully posed to represent Liberty; which ornaments the top of the Capitol at Washington. Mock Gems Art is made to rival nature in many ways, and in no in - stance more remarkably than in the imitation of all kinds of gem's. This form of industry is now practiced in almost every l country of Europe, but probably to a greater extent in Parts than anywhere else. Great is the demand for false diamonds alone, and correspondingly great is the-sup ply. We have spoken before in these col umns of the successful imitation of these— the most admired of all jewels—to such a degree that the manufactured articles shines with a brilliancy as if it had been struck off from the rock of Golconda. These imita: Ilona Were the subject of a recent article in a London journal. There are many pro cesses; but all result in .the production of what is called crystal, water, which, har dened and cat, is a perfect counterfeit. Worn it may be by a young lady at her first ball; and dazzling.,all eyes by its scintilla tions, it is norknown to them to be a corn., position of white sand treated withhydro chloric acid, calcined potash, borax and arsenic. Add to the-paste, which is the basis of this, a little oxide of cobalt, and we - have the fac-similes of a great-grandmother's prized collection of sapphires. Or mix with the colorless, material, _a little anti - raony purple' f Cassius, and there is a topaz before us. Would we obtain the I emerald, the bride of the diamonds as it has been called in the language of the we have but to add in their stead some oxide of copper. • - Of artificial pearls there are several vari eties. The Japanese make theirs of rice paste, which is better katown as Japanese cement, and is harder than marble. The Rornen -pearls are made chiefly of fish scales heated.with the finest spirits of wine, and the thariufactnre must be carried on m high ly heated rooms, but they are at light as wax and cannot possibly deceive. The Turkey rose pears do not deserve thename. - They are in fact made of roses. The leaves are heaped in a mortar having a very highly polished inner surface and,pounded into it soft mass; this is dried in the inn, but not rapidly, for rose-water of the very finest perfume is sprinkled over the pink paste now and then; the damping and crying are repeated, and the pearls so called are mould ed in a form, polished, steeped in oil of roses and polished again, so that they are lustrous and sweet scented. Some are tint ed blue, others are odorous of storax and musk, a few, and they the most difficult to perfect, are black, Tim railroad track layer now in use in California is said to operate successfully,and places the iron rails in position at -the rate .of one mile per day, though some of the work has been done at the rate of two miles in twelve hours. - The machine is a car sixty feet long and ten feet wide. It has a small engine on board for handling the ties and rails. The ties are carried on a com mon freight car behind, conveyed by an endleis chain over the top of the mail:dna lied down in their places on the track, and when enough are laid, a rail is put down on each side in a proper position and .spiked down. The track-layer then ad traneekand keeps on its work until the load of ties'and rails is exhausted, when 'other car loads are brought. Themathine is driv en' ahead by a locomotive, and fs stated the work is done so rapidly that sixmen are re quired to wait on it, but it is asserted that They do more work than twice as many could do by the old system; and that The work is done quite as well. The chief c 91 1" tractor on the Vallejd'and Sacramento 'rail road, Where the machine is in nse gives it as his opinion that; when. the dachine: improved-by makinti few 'ehanges 'ld' the' znethpd of handling rails d . ties, it will be able to put 'down five (resit "miles per ''day. „ Tirkpoparation,of the - Auitritur Entfurei according to a statistical work recently pub lished; is divided into the followhg nation alities: 8,782,000 Germans, 6,521,400 Czechs, Moravian& and Sclaves;2,BBo,ooo Poles, ,12,085.000, Rusaliti 1 ,203000 Rus sians, 1,203,0 - 0 bloveniang, J,400,800.

These philanthro pic ladies pursue the,following plan :'They walk about the, city at certain hours of the day and accost such prostitutes as they may meet on the street. They ascertain if they have any parents, ask them to abandontheir life of shame, and, if they, consent, take them-to an asylum where they spend a day, end are sent - on the following day to some of the wealthy BROWS in the country, who' have engaged to keep one or two of the unfortunate girls es long as, they behave well. If the girls refuse, the ladles:write to their parents or other relatives, and promise to•pay the traVeling expenses if they, will consent to take their fallen daughter back. All the members of this order wear on their breast a small black cross. They have an office.where two ladies answer all letters that are -reoeived. Other members of the society call daily at the female employment bureaus, and they immediately - provide something to do for girls who are unable to obtain situations. The success of the so ciety surpasses all expectations. It num bers now upwards of two hundred mem bers, and the Infamous procuresses l of the capital are seriously alarmed at the; extra ordinary energy with which the good work is carried-on. - THE art of glass-making was introduced into modern Europe by the Venetians. Be sides discovering the art of rendering glass colorless by means'of manganese, the Vene tians also en,joyed the mouoToly of mirrors, the silvering of which was a secret long kept, from other countries. These mirrors, however, have now lost their teputation, as. foreign competitors produce larger plates. Glass beads are still Made _in considerable quantities for exportatiori; Venetian enam els have always been famous, and among the pecnliar productions of Venice may be reckoned the beautiful cOmposition called aventurine, the secret of which is said to be in the possession'of a single manufacturer. The great glass works arelat Mutano, one of the islands of the Lagoon. The number of persons employed in glasa-making at Mura-. no and Venice is 5,000, of)whom one•third are men, and two-thirds women and chil dren. The annual cost or the substances employed in tho manufacture isestimated at about 7,000,000 f. In the East -there is a constant demand for beads and other arti cles known as "conter4." . There F are six glass works in Turin, three in Genoa, five in Milan, thirteen in Florence, eleven in Naples, and twenty in Venice. These fifty eight works produce articles of the annua value of 16,276,725 f. COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS. —_Four - or five yews ago, Mr. Kellogg, of Chicago, com menced to print the inside of country news papers in that city. The plan seemed to take, and he now prints one .hundred and three, located in all the States of the North west. So that Democratic papers, Repub lican papers, and all sorts of papers, go to their reader with the same matter on two of their pages. Of course they are neces sarily all of a sire, and the matter they contain of a neutral character. To DETECT the presence of wool, in silks, it is only necessary to boil a few pieces of the fabric in a concentrated solution of potash, and dilute it with water. On adding a few drops of a solution of nitro•prussiate of soda, a fine violet color is. produced, if wool be present, owing to the formation by the first process of sulphide of potassium, ihe sulphur of which must be derived from the wool, as none is present in silk.
