We find by ex. amining the reported procecdings that the Appolnt- ing Cowmitice for Couk County were Messrs, James P, Koot, George Buckley, and W. A, Jemes. As the matter stands it was those three gentlemen who tool it upun themuelves to repudi- ata the selectlon of Capt.

PrILADELPIIA, May 20.—It Is sald that two- thirds of all the French ching-ware now manu- factured Is sold In the United States. The state- ment 18 a little atartling when one conslders that Fronce s the home of ceramles,—that more of this class of goods is made, and of a better qual- ity, in that country than in Gernany and En- gland. Taking thetruth of the statement for granted,—and I have no reason to doubt the word of my Informant, who s a leadlng French manufacturer,—dous It not ludicate strongly the advance that our middle classes are making In culture and artlstic taste? Ten or flfteen years ago, china was a rarcr article on the tables of the weulthy than silver, and, wheneverdisplayed, its old-fushioned shape and dingy hue proclalmed it at onco as an heirloom, To-day the exqulsitely- tinted poreelain of Limoges or Vierzouisfound In the villages of Wisconsin and Illinols, Consldering the great and incressing demand for this kind of puuds in the Amerlean market, it Is not surprising that the French manufactur- ors have sent large exhibits to the Centennial, fn- cluding somgof thofinest specimens ever produc- ed. The display In many of its features is un- paralleled; certaluly there was nothing like It in Vienna. Whether the nrt has progressed so decldedly in three years,or whethier the porcelnin- mukers did not caro to send thelr choleest wares to the Exhibitlon of 1873, I da not know, though Inclining to the latter opinton.

In examining the collection, one 1 struck with the uniformity of cnlor which prevalla throughout all the pieces. Not that they are more transparent than other French wares, nor that their decurations uro mure artistic; but the inhere nt ting of tho china Itself is vo evenly distributed au tocall forth the ndmiration of the beholder, A cloae in- spection of o tea-set will gencrally revenl the fact that one picce In o Arlile Tews pure in - [te whitencss than unother, Of course, the difference is not so marked as ta he noticeable unlees carefutly com- pared.
