MISCELLANEOUS.
The . Manufacture of 4Iubh.
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

A young Rir1 who' works in a shop in
Manchester, N. II., at one dollar a 4iry, and
whose brother was at work at Worcester,
Mass., at the time of tlie last election, wrote
to him to be sure and come home to rote,
as she feared the Democrat would carry
the day. 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.

low Will the Soldier- Vote?
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. McCldlun,
Maine 2,603 473
Hhode-Islaud , 657 243
New-Hampshire 2,015 671
Pennsylvania . 20,712 12,349
Ohio 41,140 0,757
Maryland 2,800 1,821
Kentucky 1,194 2,833
Iowa .17,310 1,812
Michigan 9,462 2,059
California 2,600 237
Wisconsin 14,550 3,291
Total 121,041 35,050
Note. 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

Tho wide-awake, hard-working men are
the most succcsful business men of our large
cities. 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. Let them teach them houso-keeping,
on a fixed methodical plan, nnd they will
then learn their history, French, and music,
all the better.
"It is natural and right that a mother
should wish to see her daughters well edu
cated, and even highly accomplished, and it
is a mistake that good and careful education
should unfit a girl for the homely duties of
cooking, dusting, &c. On the contrary,
thoso duties would be better perfonnod, and
if mothers would, at the same time that they
seek talented instructors for their daughters,
impart to thcai soino of their own culinary
talent, there would bo more good wives aud
more marriages.
"Little girls should bo taught, as early as
possible, to perform simple household du
ties neatly, and as they grow older let them
become gradually acquainted with the theo
ry of house keeping in such a manner that
when they are married they will be able to
adapt themselves to their circumstances,
and be useful as well aa pleasing compa
nions to their husbands."

Prom a lottcr written by Judge B. F
Pouter, of the Second Judicial District of
Alabama, and who is also a native of that
Stato written to the groat Montgomery
Grant ratification meeting, we extract the
paragraphs below. The. axiom that tho
wisest statesmanship is identical with good
common sense, wag never moro clearly il
lustrated thap in tho observations which
conclude this letter. ITc writes :
As nn individual, I will give Grant and
Colfax an earnest support. It in the ticket
of reconstruction under the Constitution
nnd laws of tho United States, of pence, and
of obedienco to the authority of the Union.
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. It is the storm of revolu
tion which brines ignorance and corruption
to tho snrfaco of societv. In times of peace
and of submission to the law, thev sink to
obscurity, and control no nation's destiny.
Civil equality is not personal or social deg
radation. With very great respect, your
obedient servant, Bf.njamin F. Porter.
What an Old Democrat Says of
Gn ant. non. Isaac N. 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. Grant, and go
thou and do likewise, counting it a great
privilege."

Annual Vacation.
IlARnlsncno, July 3, 1808. 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

of the time when the people are to assemble;
and that families and friends be requested
to take tbia into consideration in making
their arrangements.
2. That wa esrptstly.reques't our, people
not to appoint burial services on Sundays,
when it can possibly be avoided. ,
3. That n cases when families do not
belong to any congregation, the minister ex
pected to officiate should receive especial
notice of the fact,
4. That we wish it fa be regarded as no
mark of indifference, if we do not always
attend funerals la connection with which
we have no official doty. - ,
5. That hereafter it should not bocoa
sidered a discourtesy, if ministers and peo

it is worth :
. "I. know a remedy that is a sure cure for

then place it on the pnrt bitten, and burn it
off;burning the wet powder draws the poison
to the surface ; then wipe the poison oft
with a cloth, then split a re w.: onion, bind
one-half on the wound, and go about your
work as usual. In the year 1825, 1 was a

that tho flowers terminate tho stem. Tho
erlect is, that the sap is immediately impell

which soon push strongly and produce
another of flowers each. When theso aro

also topped down to their level ; and this is
done successfully. By this menus the plants

drive rats from any place infected by them.
An exchange says: An ounce of it scatter

If chlorido of ,lime is moistened with muri

the rats will depart, because it will be death
