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.

A, ',Anon number of ladles from the hest
classes of Berlin have formed a secret so
ciety forlthe purpose of)checking the glow
ing evil of prostitution! 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.
