CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM.—There is no rea- son why workingmen should not save the profits of dealers by buying in quantities, for distribution among themselves. They may likewise as well be their own employers, and build their own houses. At the same time they must remember that co-operative busi- ness, like any other, requires good manage- Tent, and is jiableto misfortunes. There is danger of being victimized by dishonest men in charge of the business, and there are many other drawbacks that must be guarded against. ‘We say this not to discourage those who have embarked or intend to embark in enterprises of this kind. We simply desire to point out the rocks that they may see and keep clear of them. ‘Men are apt to be too sanguine about the suc- cess of a new business in which they are con- cerned, and we wish workingmen to unde stand, at the outset, that there are difficulties and dangers in co-operative enterprices as well asin others. The leading objects to keep in view are the reduction of expenses to the lowest possible notch; the employment of good and experienced men as managers; the carefal and frequent examination of accounts, andthe observance of a strict system in all depart- ments of the business. The principle of co- operation is unaseailable. Apply it properly yand it will proves success.—N. Y. Sun.

Three shots were exchanged. At the first flre the challenging party received a bullet through his left arm, and although shots were Uwice exchanged afterwards no further injery was done toeither. The chal. lenger was anxious to carry the affair toa bloody end, but the seconds after the thira fire refused to remain a8 :witnesses to th murderous work, and the principals wera therefore obliged to returm home unsatisfied and as bitter in their enmity as ever—J.

FROM CAPE MA A Briliiant Season — Washingtonians in the Brine—Some Reference to ihe Turkish Back ty one who has been there—The Fat of the Land at Cape May—Our Lean Contributor Re What is Thought of the Surratt Triat May, . [Special Correspondence of the Star.) Conerees HALL, Cark MAY, Angus* 15, 1607. Dear Star: Knowing th interested in mat i at large and your fellow-citizens in particuiar, I have thought best to inflict a shor: leter on you relative to the doings, &c., of inis cele- brated sea-side resort. Cape May is an es:ablished inetitution, and will ever remaip so while an unsurpassed beach and an abundance of sea air form attrac- tions to the residen‘s of inland towns ana noisy, heated cities: especially #0 to the imhab. itants of our hot, dusty metropolis. This seems like another place to us, tresh from its glare and duet. The vast expanse of ocean: the continuous roar cf surf; the foaming white-capped breakers dashing upon the sandy shoals; the magnificent line of beach stretching as far as the eye can reach; the e:reng:hening, invigorating air we breathe: the mixed con- gtegation of visitors from all parts of our Widely-extended ceuntry; the variations and variegations of costumes in which the ladies revel, all tend to make this a most atirictive and aelightful spot: whilst the bathing excels all other enjoyments and delights, (your Turkish bath not excepted.) Congress Hall is filled to its capacity, feed- ing from =00 to 1.000 guests daily; all’ other hotels seem to he equally well patronized. A good many Washingtonians are here, amongs: them our old esteemed friends, Dr. J.B. Blake, JW. Thompson, Wm. Thompson, Jobn F: Ennis, J.D. Brandt, W. Denby, KS. Davis, Esq.,and others, whilst from other places I note Ex-President Buchanan, Senator A. G. Cattell, (a very agreeable looking geatleman and & great favorite.) Gen, Van Viet, U.S. A., and hosts of other persons werthy of notice. The great feature is the 11 o'clock bath, where you can see from three to four thousand hybrid looking beings eporting arcund the breakers, very unromantic they look, but very delight(ul and healthful is the exercise. 1 notice that some ladies whose color is really noticeable, don’t bathe Some cynical fellow saggesied that the “color would not wash,” bat noone leteres i/. Certain itis that salt water ig @ greatleveller, and all colors which c&n go through a dip in the breakers can be “warranted fa-tand not to run.” ‘There is superiiuiry of tat men and women here. I!’s a treat for @ dyspeptic individaal like your correspondent to be brought into con- tact With them, and to encourage himeelt with the Bope that some day he may rejoice ia such asubsixntial looging frame. While tuere is lite there is hope, and the taought is graufying that some day we may be like them, though it should never be realized. There’ are some dozen who will average over three hundred pounds avoirdupois. Every night witnesses a hop or ball, and the Votaries of dancin opportn- nitles “to trip the light tantastic toe” Fashion has mény followers, the wardrobes of many Of the ladies being extremely rich and varied, and fearfully suggestive to husbands and fathers of milliners’ and dry goods bilis. Yesterday afierncon we had & Sabbath School concert on the lawn of Cougress Hall Many hundred children and adults were pres- ent. ‘The scene presented was beautiful and enhvering, although the efforts of the orators were rendered comparatively futile trom their nearness to oid ocean, whose roar effectnally drowned their voices ani rendered their violent gesticulations rather Indicrous than other wise At night they bad a religious mase meating. (£0 announced irom the pulpits,) which was well attended, and the effect materiatly heightened by the kindly rays of the moon, which shed = mild and beautiful light on the scene. Allhave been intensely interested in the issue of the Surratt trial, and much regret is ex- preesed thet the jury were +“iable to agree The difficulty between Jadge Fisher and Mr. Bradley is mourned by ali Washingtonians who know and esteem both parties, and regret that such aresnit should have been brough: about. How wellit would be for mankind if we could all appreciate and act upon the ad- vice of the wise man who said: A soft an- swer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.” I must beg pardon for trespassing upon so much of your valuable space, and clos py gretting /bat you are not with us to enjoy beneficial effects of salt water. s. THE NICHOLSON PavEMENT.—The work of laying ihe Nicholson pavement on Broad street. at Columbia avenue, was delayed very Much during the past week by tke frequent rains. A little over half a square has been completed In laying down this pavement, the groundis firet levelled, or. rather, rounded, off, so as to conform with the grade, then covered evenly with a coating of saad about two Inches deep. alter which it is smoothed off withastraight-edge Next comes thesubstruc- ture, which is a flooring of cound common pine boards an inch thick, laid closely together in courses lengthwise of the street, the ends resting om stringers of like material imbeded in the sand and running crosswise of the street. The flooring thus laid is well tarred on both sides with bot coal tar mixed with pitch. Up- on this substructure the upper stratum of bloke is placed. They are of pine, sawed three inches thick, six inches long, and from siz to ten inches wide, and, after being dipped im coal tar, are set up on end across the street. ‘rom curd to curb with their broad faces front- ing up and down the street. The first lime of blocks being thus eet, a line of pickets or stripe of board, three inches wide, is placed on edge between the rows, every row being nailed through the picket into the blocks and Penetrating the boird below, thus making the whole close and tight. Then another row of blocks dipped into hot tar as before is set up againet the strip, and so on alternately until completed. There is left between each two coneecutive rows of blocks a continnous groove or cell, seven-eighths of an inch wide and three inches deep, extending from curb to curb. The filling of these grooves is the next operation, and this is done with the use of screened gravel and hot coal tar. The gravel is heated hot and then filled into the cells level with the surface; the coal tar, after being heated. is poured upon tbe hot gravel until the cells are filled. The composition thus formed is compactly rammed down. The whole eur- face is then covered with hot coal tar, mixed with pitch, and immediately covered witb tine gravel and common sand, mixed in about equal proportions three gnarters of an inch thick. When this 1s dore the pavementis com- plete and ready for use.— Phila. Ledger. A Mountain Rext Asunpee.—The follow- ing ja an extract of a letter sent by @ young gentleman in Feldkitcb, Switzerland, to his parents in Liverpool; + Not tar frem here part of @ mountain has set itself in motion, and is sliding down into the valley. The inhabitants of the village at its toot are in great consterna- Uon at the occurrence. Last winter we had very much snow and rain, and the water has triekled down through all the crevices of the mountain into thegreund. 1thas undermined the foundations in one part, and has caused it to fall in about three weeks ago. Otner pieces have since followed this one. Every tew minutes a new crack shows {tself; at first as broad as a piece of thread, it becomes grad. ually broader and broader, and one piece of the ‘mountain rapidly follows another. At present a very large surface is in motion to the depth of per! more than @ thousand feet. A river and all the brooks which flowed down the mountain have disappeared in the cracks: paths which were formerly nearly level have been separated into littie pieces, of which some are twenty feet higher than the ext one, and thongh the mountain was for- merly covered with large forests. there is now scarcely a single tree on it in its Datura) posi- tion. They have been wrenched ont of tne rth and thrown away in all directions. some of them lying with their roots in the air, and their heads in tho cracks in the mountain.

That would be, for society, the next best se- curity tor hauging the murderer. But the sta- ustics of the Prison Asecciation Commission- ers, prove that imprisonment for life, in all the States from which dia could be obtained is a bumbugand farce. The proportion of pardons of convicts imprisoned for life was forty-one out of every hundred: and the average term served by them was six years and nine months. Many of these psrdoued convicts were mur- derers—we do not know the proportion—whose original sentence of death had been commuted by governors to life imprisonment. The facts show thatis for the interest of notorions of- senders to procure sentence of imprisonment for the longest term possible, their chanees of a speedy pardon being improved thereby.” Journal then goes on to eay: “The issue is not all between banging and imprisonment for life—though there ihe gal- Jows has the best of the argnment—but be- tween banging and six or seven years within comfortable prison walis, at the end of which time the cut-throat reappears in the world ‘with bis diabelical instincts wetted and pol- ished for new atrocities. 1t may be said in reply: ‘Let the puntehment be made certain.’ But it cannot be made certain.

BREAKAGE OF Laxy Cuimngys —The great cause of lamp chimneys being 80 brittle and breaking so easy, is owing to tbe material they are made from. (There is ehoddy in gines as well as in clotb.) Cheapness being the order of the day, a great many manufacturers make chimneys from silieate of lime instead of rili- cate of lead. The glass made from the silicate of lime has about the following proportions— sand, 100; soda, 45: hme, 20 to 25; nitre, 7 to 10. Lime being a non-conductor ‘of heat the chimney will wot bear the expansion caused by the hest, and if by gradual neating the cbimney does not break on the lamp, a few times heating makes it so brittle that it breaks with the least effort ai cleaning it no matter how much care is | used. The silicaie of lead bas about the following proportions—sand, 100; lead, 40 to St: soda, 20 to 25; nitre 10 to 15. Lead being very ductile and'a good conduetor of heat, a chimney made from this formula will almost melt before it will crack with the heat. The uninitiated may tell the difference of the chimneys made by these different quali- lies of glass by ringing them, the vibration from from the lead gless chimney has asweet bell like sound, while the lime glass basa short bars sonnd. The difference of the cost to manufacture is only in matertal, about i5 cenis per dover.
