The Bridgeton Chronicle, published in tlie neighborhood of extensive Glass Works, in New Jersoy, gives the following in reference to tho history and manufacture of that com modity : According to PlitJy, the composition of glass waa first discovered by a number of merchants who were driven by a storm to take shelter at the mouth of the river Belus, in Syria. A fire was made on the ground, where there was a great quantity of the herb called kali. The plant" burning to ashes, its salt become mixed and incor porated with the sand, and thus formed glass. However this may be, glass was in use amongst the Greeks and IiomanB aud Egyptians from the carliebt periods of which we have any authentic information. Its manufacture was first begun in England in 1557, but it was not until over two hundred years afterwards that the English could compute with the Venetian manufacturers. The great ubundance of saud in South Jersey naturally pointed to the manufacture of glass as a hopeful enterprise. Tho process by which the sand and tho 6alts used are combined by the actiou of an intense heat so as to form the new sub&tauce called glass is termed vitrilication. The substances con sumed in the manufacture are put into a large trough or tank, made of pipe clay, and subjected to the heart of a fierce tire which is kept constantly burning. A special de partment of the glass house is appropriated to the manufacture of theso troughs. The molten material is then taken out on the end of the blower's pipe, by a boy whoso business it is to feed the blower with a con stant supply of the uufurmed material, and whose work, in common with every other process in tho manufacture, simple as it seems, requires the most delicate skill. A few well-practised, aud mysterious manipu lations on the part of the blower, and the hot mass has been blown out to the requisite dimensions, neither more nor less, or ruin must be the consequence, moulded into the required shape, and delivered into the care of another boy, who lifts it on the point of a stick, dumps it in front of another, who again gives it its place on the pile of others in the annealing furuaco. This last is heat ed by a wood fire which can be tempered at leisure; and here the bottles remain, leisurely cooling down, for about a week. When the jars are sufficiently cooled they are consigned to a number of boys who knock off of them a thin superfluous neck formed by the gradual withdrawal of the blow-pipe from the mould. They are then taken to the grinding room, where the edges are ground perfectly smooth on a hard stone turned by steam. A simple india-rubbrr top, which renders them perfectly air tight, completes the work, and the jars aro ready for packing. To stand aud watoh the heated men at work, nothing seemingly can be more sim ple, and there is hardly a single inexpe liencod person who would not undertake to do as they "and risk it." However, every operation even the most simplo in appear ancerequires tue most delicate skill, and there is uo species of manipulation in which the skilled workman is more highly appre ciated or better paid in proportion to the lest skilled than the manufacture of glass. Want of skill on the part of the blowers or their attendants may, while apparently pro ductive of th6 best results, completely ruin tho credit of any establishment In a single season. There has always appeared to be a singu lar resemblance in character and mind oe tween General Grant and President Lincoln. The following coincidences of expression, pointed out by a coteuiporary, manifest it in a very marked way r .. r I hope pence will soon come, and when it comes will come to stay. Abraham Lin coln.

The day before election, taking the cars for Nassau and thence to Worcester, she started after him, as he did not appear, found him, and came back with him: That's a girl for a young man who wants a good wifo to be looking after him.

Throughout the War for tho Union, tho party which received the vote of every op ponent of that War every one who deemed it a War of invasion and aggression on the part of the North stoutly claimed the rank and file of our Volunteer I'Boys in Blue" as recruited from its rants arid devoted to its principles. A majority of the officers, it as serted, might be upholders of the "Lincoln Despotism ;" but the men without shoulder straps were Democrats, as their votes would prove. "Then," we suggested, "let us unite in so altering our laws, nnd our Constitutions, too, where that shall be necessary, as to en able every citizen who, during War, shall be necessarily absent from home, whether in cninp or hospital, as a soldier of the Union, to vote as though he were at home," Sot one single Democratic LcyUlattire closed with this proposition. New-Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, chose Democratic Legislatures in 1802 : so their soldiers were not allowed to vote for President in 1864. Nearly every Republican State, with Kentucky and Mary land, then ruled by earnest Unionists, ena bled their soldiers to vote in the field. Gen. McClellun was tho Democratic nominee for President. He long commanded the largest of our Armies, and was for a time General-in-Chief lie studied to ingratiate himself with his soldiers, was kiud to and popular with them. If ho could not secure their votes, no other man of his party could. In this State, tho soldiers' votes were so cast that no one could say how they votod ; in most States, it was otherwise. Here is the aggregate vote of the soldiers, in every Statu from which we havo returus : , Slates. LtscoLN.

Missouri and Colorado soldiers voted at previous elections almost all Republican but not distinctively for President in '64. The soldiers of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Califor nia, and Wisconsin, voted likewise in '63, as did most of them in '62, with results substantially iden tical with those exhibited in tho forcgoiug table of the vote east in '64. J Tho soldiers of several States who had not yet been mustered out of service when their elections fur 1805 occurred respectively voted again, with results substantially like the forcgoiug. In no year of the War, was tho Republican voto less than three fourths of nil that cast by volunteers in service. Such being tho recorded facts, we submit that tho pretenso of getting up a Convention of Union soldiers to oppose tho clectiou of Grant and Colfax surpasses all recognized hounds of partisan imposture. Not that there arc no good soldiers who dislike and oppose him we know there are such ; but they aro scarce as white biackoirus. lho bulk of the soldier voto against Grant will be cast by Confederate, not Union, soldiers by tho men whom ho defeated, captured, and paroled, and who have personal reasons for preferring such antagonists us Buell, Franklin, Fiujobn Porter, aud McClellun. If ltobert E. Leo could be iuduccd to unite in the anti-Grant call and preside, over tho Convention when assembled, ho would give it respectability aud force ; but a Conven tion of Union soldiers to oppose Gen, Grant is too broad a joke for the season. It was wise Jo hold it in this bounty-jumping city, where all sorts of meetings can be got up to order if the proper appliances are used ; but the houorably discharged Union volunteers are almost solid for Grant, as the returns of next November will prove. A Convention in 1787 of Revolutionary soldiers to oppose the election of Gen. Washington to the Presidency, or of defenders of New-Orleans in 1828 to defeat the election of Old Hick bry, would not have been more preposter ous than is the attempt in 1868 to muster an army of Union soldiers in opposition to the election of Gen, Graut.

Neither wealth nor honorable posi tions can be picked up in tho streets like lost money. They must be obtaiued by steady, uncompromising labor, Tho New York correspondent ot the Boston Journal shows how a young man of that city work ed aud persevered until he became cashier of tho bank whero he was first employed as an errand boy; The cashier of ono of our leading banks resigned sorno timo since, and the paying teller was immediately elected to fill his place. He was quito a young man, and was promoted over the beads of those who had been in the bank many years in tubordiate positions. - Tho secret of the promotion is well worth knowing : He entered tho bank when quite young. He resolved to make himself useful. Living farthest away some miles out of the city ho was tho first at his post in the morning. Having tho farthest to go, be was the last to leave. Ho never was afraid to work, and never hesitated to lend a hand when his own duties wero done. Others would go out to restaurants and hotels for their lunch. Ho brought his with him and ate it in a lit tle closet. , . For his own pleasure he never left the bank during business hours. If any of tho clerks wanted to go away he was always ready to take their place. lie could, always be found and was prompt at anj call, lila spare time was devoted to an intelligent study of hi business. As paying teller he was very popular". lie was never snappish or ungenilemaoly. Growling, grumbling, unreasonable customer! could not irritate him. He overstayed his time to accommo date men who were belated' with their checks. . As cashier, be la the same geniat, agreea ble, prompt officer that be waa la aubordi nate life. Men disappointed la their dis counts take a refusal from the cashier With a better spirit than they do an accommoda tion from some men. lie still keeps up his habits of closa attention to business, and takea bis fregal lunch' in his closet, as he did when struggling for a position, , Those who fall In life, or are desirinir success, had better look at this incident and copy tbo examrne.

A lady makes some sensible suggestions tri A London journal on the tubieet of Mar- riage or Celibacy, a Tow of which we annex, ana say that there is a great deal of truth in them : "When a girl marries, she ought, to a cer tain extent, to give up her acquaintances, and consider the company of her husband the best company she can have. The young wifo must lenrn cooking carefully, if she docs not already havo a good knowledge of it. There are many excellent ctioke'ry books, but she must not follow them implicitly. "My own plan, for some time after I was married, was to take some dish and preparo it once according to tho receipt given, and note carefully what ingredients could be dispensed wilh. The sccrind time I gener ally managed it at half the expense. A use ful plan is to keep a blank book in the kitchen table drawer, and whenever a deviation from the orthodox cookery book is made, to jot it down. . Dot not wait till you have washed your hands ; let the book bo finger marked rather than lose an idea. "You will thus learn more of household economy than if you trust to memory alone, and when your daughters grow up, what a fund of practical information it will be for them. To a great extent the celibacy of our young men is owing to the way in which girls are brought up. Through mis taken kindness mothers often do themselves what they ought to make their daughters do.

General Grant hns been the instrument, under Providence, of closing the war of a revolution with which, while I had many local and personal. I held no political sym pathies. I ahnll hail him. as he advises to deposit his sword upon tho altar of perpetu al peace, as ono whoso administration will obliterate tho Mason and Dixon line of dis cord, and silrnce forever the spirit of dissen sion and civil war. The clamors of nesro supremacy, which apsail this Presidential ticket, receive no countenance from me. No man in his senses, in the South or elsewhere, need fear that in this intelligent country, and in this Christian ago, intellectual and moral power will not reach the apex of the templo of lib erty and hold it.

Morris, an old and influential Democrat of Quincv, Illinois, made a long and able speech lately, in favor of Grant aud Colfax. The conclusion of it was as follows : "If you ask mo to forget the rebellion if you ask me to blot out from my recollection the memory of the fivo hundred thousand brave pntriots who died that their country might live some of whose graves you have been strewing affectionately to-day with flowers, sweet emblems of gratitude if you ask roe to shut my eyes to the widows, and orphans, and maimed soldiers left by the war if you ask me to assist in restoring to power treason and traitors or their auxilia riesif you ask me to embraco men whose hands are stained with the precious blood of our fallen heroes, and who only wait for a favorable opportunity to overthrow the Government, I tell you frankly I am not with you in that. "If you ask me to lift ray voice against the great Captain to whom we are more in debted for our preservation at a nation thau 'to any other living man, and who hat writ ten his principles with tha point of his sword on the national records, and enstamp ed his fidelity to liberty on the national heart, I tell you plainly I cannot do that., I claim to have tome little gratitude left. The ensuing four years will, in my judgment, be the most dangerous and eventful in our history, and we must have one at tha head of the Government who will be equal to the. emergency, or we will sink under the weight of a crushing revolution. No tremulous hand must be at' the helm; no politician who will seek only hit own interest at the expense of national security. I need hardly add that, If I live until November and can reach the polls, appealing to .the God of Hosts for tbo rectitude of my intentions, and believing I shall bo serving the best Interests of humanity and my country be lieving there Is a. necessity which rises fat above conventional platforms, and party demands, requiring every patriotic citizen to do his duty I shall cast my vote, Demo crat though I have always been, for the In corruptible patriot, the beat judge of cha racter, and the best thinker I know in the United Btates, Ulysws 8.

Tlie regular annual vacation at the institutions receiving soldiers' orphans at the expense of the State, will coinmcuce on Friday, July 24th, and terminato ou Monday, August ,3l st. school duties being resumed on Tuesday, Septem ber 1st. The principals, superintendents and man agers of these institutions will please ob serve the following regulations : 1. No child will bo permitted to leave tho institution to which it belongs without a written furlough or leate of absence, signed by the Superintendent of Soldiers' Orphans, and countersigned by the priucipal superin tendent or managers of the institution, spe cifying the causo of absence, and its length. This leave of absence, for which blanks have been furnished, to be carried by the .child while absent, and shown whenever re quested. 2. No leave of absence will be grauted to any child, unless pronounced by the attend ing physician, after special examination had for the purpose, entirely free from sore eyes, and tho other contagious diseases. Upon their return, after vacation, children must be re examined, and all doubtful cases iso lated until known to be entirely cured. The presence of these vexations and annoying diseases in any institution is regarded as an evidenco of inexcusable neglect end mis management on tho part of tho attending physician and the authorities of such insti tution, and will not be tolerated, ,, 3. No child will be sent home except at the written request of tho mother, guardian or friends. All others must be furnished with proper care and attention, nnd permit ted to enjoy vacation at the institution,. free from study and labor, except such as may bo necessary for tlio. comfort of those. re maining. The labor required must not ex ceed the regular detail period of two .hours per day. The library and reading .rooms and the play grounds must bo open to them, under proper supervision, the f&maining portion of tbo day. , Children should be conveyed to and from the proper railroad station free of charge. All other expenses of travel, and at home, must bo bo'rned by their mothers or friends, 4. No child will bo deprived of vacation as a punishment, no matter what the nature of the offense niay havo been. To do so would lie cruel. If in any caso, as for in stance where it is known that vacation would be spent amid bad association and demoralizing influences if children were permitted to go home, principals, superin tendents or managers think best to deny them the privilege, they must be able, to produce the clearest proof of the existence of the facts upon which the detail is based. 5. Each girl will take with her, clean and in good condition, aud legibly marked with her name, a change of underclothes aud stockings, two dresses, hat, sack and shoes ; and each boy, in like condition, a change of underclothes aud stockings, two pairs of punts, oue jacket, cap, and shoes. All other clothing will remain at the institution, ex cept in the caso of transfers. Girls will not take their bluo winter dresses. Tho articles of clothing taken, with their condition, must be entered on the check to the furlough, aud re-examined and checked off, with appropriate remarks as to care and condition when returned. ;.. 0. Those ordered by transfer to other schools will take all their clothes, nnd will be instructed to go direct from their homes to the schools to which they aro ordered, when their furloughs expire. Every article of clothing taken with them, with its con dition, will bo entered on tho check as a record, and on tho back of the furlough for the information of the principal of the school to which tbey arc transferred. 7. The objects of vacation should be ex plained to the children, and the duty and necessity of good conduct and care of clo thing while absent, prompt return, tic, carefully end repeatedly impressed upon them. It i3 hoped and beliovcd that, with few exceptions, attention to study and industrial instruction, and to the cultivation of good manners and habits, has bcon attended with so much success that this visit homo will be gratyfying to mothers and friends, nnd ere- uuaoie to tho institutions to yh!cri these wards of tho Stato belong. It is also hoped that after enjoying the cessation from study, and tho visits to home and friends, which vacation allows, children will bo promptly returned in cood condition, eratfflerl ami refreshed, and encouraged to pursue, with renewed energy ana zeal, tlie exercises of their respective schools and homes during the ensuing year. And if notwithstanding past discouragements, these hopes are evea Curtially realized, the fact will be regarded y the undersigned and his co-laborers as compensation, in some moasure at least, for the severe labor, weighty responsibilities and constant anxieties of the past year, and as an encouragement to work with increas ed energy and hope to achieve still greater rcsutis in luiure. ueo. r. m r arland, Superintendent Soldiers' Orphans.
