THE GLASS TRADE. Progress of American Factories— Interesting Statistics, HOW GLASS IS MANUFACTURED. Condition of the Workmen—The Bastie Process. At the present time the condition of the glass trade throughout all its branches is exceedingly dull and shows no great amount of vitality. This is, doubtless, principally owing to the general stagnation which is more or less noticed im every branch of commerce. ‘Then, too, the amount of goods manufactured in this country annually is more than sufficient for the na- tional consumption, There has, as a consequence, for several years, independent of the stocks shipped abroad, been a considerable accumulation of stock which {t will be necessary to work off before any real Improvement in existing conditions can be felt, An- other fact in this regard may also be considered, which is, that a large number of articles made of glass are looked upon as luxuries which, under the rule of rigid economy now being practised by the people of this country throughout almost the breadth and length of the land, appear tbe thought can be dispensed with. Another fact which operates to create dulness in the trade is that there is a large amount of foreign glass- ware being imported, which necessarily enters very much {nto competition with the home manufactures. ‘This, however, is principally confined to goods upon which a largo amount of labor has to be expended in finishing, painting, gilding or embossing, such as, for instance, toilet sets, odor boxes, bouquet holders, Jewel boxes, smoking sets, cologne and extract bottles, phials, smelling salts bottles, vinaigrettes, fruit bowls, preserve dishes, fine goblets, wine, champagne, claret and hock glasses and numerous other articles of alike nature, We at home are at a disadvantage in the com- petition, mainly on account of the HIGH PRICH OF OUR LAOR compared with the foreign prices of production. Here it requires a skilled workman to finish even the smallest article, while in foreign countries, like Bohemia, a family of sometimes ten is oftentimes employed in finishing or cutting, The youngest child is brought up to make itself useful in the finishing of goods, and families from generation to generation are employed by the manufacturers. As a consequence, the hands always prove to be excellent workmen and artists, while at the same time they can afford, through the help they ob- tain from their children, to do the work at a considera- bly smaller rate than it could possibly be done here,” PROGRESS IN THE PAST TEN YEARS. Notwithstanding the drawbacks in the ways above mentioned, the progress made in the manufacture of glass in the last ten years has been very great in America, and will, there is every reason to believe, increase each year-in the future. This is, and will be, due to the inventive genius of the workmen, the appli- ances and tools continually being introduced, or by the cheapening of labor and saving of time, which largely enter into the calculation in the production of every kind of glass, For instance, ten years ago pressed goblets were selling at from $150 to $2 50 per dozen, only about thirty dozens being made daily by each “shop” at the factories. A shop consists of a drawer, presser and finisher and a boy. The former, with a long iron pipe, draws from the pots of metal sufficient glass to make the article in- tended This he hands to the presser, who places it in the mould, after which the plunger attached to the press is compressed into the metal and the goblet is formed. It is then handed to the finisher, who finishes the foot and mouth, making it smooth, when itis handed to a boy, who carries it to the annealing oven, through which it ts passed, and it becomes a finished article. Now it is the custom to turn out forty-five dozen daily for each “shop.”? They are sold at from 50c, to $1 25 per dozen, which is a great reduction of former prices, This is partly due to the increase of competition, but more particularly to the cheapening of the raw material used in the manufacture, FLINT GLASS, In former years all table goods were made of what is known as flint glass, but now the greater part of this class of ware is made of what is termed “lime” glass, which is constituted of a large proportion of lime anda great deal of soda ash, which makes the cost of produc- tion very much less than in the case of pure flint. The lime glass, too, is now so neatly finished that it requires an expert to detect the difference between tho two glasses. Flint glass is composed of sand, red lead, carbonate of soda, arsenic and kelp. The sand {s first washed and thoroughly dried over the annealing ovens until it be comes as fine as powder. It is then carried into the mixing room and placed on what is known as the mixing trough, when the other ingredients are added and thoroughly incorporated together, Then is added about half the quantity of . : BROKEN GLASS, or as it is known in the tactories, “cullett.’’ Great care has to be taken in the selection of the broken glass to see that none inferior to the quality desired to be pro- duced is allowed to get in. The whole is then thor- oughly mixed up again and placed im the pots, and as fst as the mass melts and sinks to the bottom more material is added watil the pots are well filled. The heat js increased until the metal becomes pure glass, which takes about thirty hours to accomplish. The fire is often reduced during the cooling, in order to allow the scum to be skimmed off the molten mass, as well as to provent.a possibility of the metal burning. While it is on the fire it resembles soup, and requires careful watching to prevent scorching. After being skimmed of all impurities itis ready fer use, All the pots u for melting are kept covered to prevent foreign sub- stances from settling into jhe meal. The red lead is used to give the giass brilliancy and weight. The sand used is found in Berkshire county, Massachusetts, and ts well known throughout the world, large quantities of it being shipped abroad, “GREEN” GLASS. ‘The manufacture of ‘“‘green’’ glassware |s at this time @ most important branch of the business, It 18 princl- lly used by druggists, chemists and liquor dealers. ‘quantity made is enormous. There js also a large trade done with the venders of patent medicines, Itis cal- culated that they alone use 23,000,000 gross of bottles and phials a year. Green glass is also largely used for pickle and mustard jars, as well as for telegraph und hghtming rod insulators. The price tor green glass is now as low as it was at any time betore the war, and in this article the competition is exceedingly keen and strong, especi- ally between the Eastern and Western factories. The advantage, however, appears to be slightly in favor of the manulacturers west of the Alleghany Mountains. for freight being much cheaper gives them greater facilities for shipping their goods (which are bulky) to the Western and Southwest- ern States than can be obtained in the Kast. Besides, ‘oads whose interests lie with the Pennsylvania 0 give them advantages over Eastern ship- pers by making special contracts, at low rates, with them for the transportation of their goods, The West and Southwest are very large consumers of green glass. HOW GREEN GLASS 18 MADE, Factories use open pots, and generally of a larger size than in flint glass factories. The ingredients used are much the same, except that no red lew or arsenic is ‘used, bat in place of these soda ash. ‘There is not so much care, either, necessury in its manufacture, and the sand is of inferior quality to that use in making flint gl It 1s found in Morris River, New Jersey, where hear by a large number of factories have been built, RED LEAD AND CLAY. The red lead used is mostly from the New England and Boston and Sandwich Company's works, they hav- ing the preference over the imported metal, for the rea- son that, being glass mavufacturers themselves, they appear to understand the wants of glass makers and turn out the lead accordingly. ‘The clay used in all factories is the German, which is. imported in very large quanti- ties, It is considered superior for making pots and has been used agreat many years. Clay abounds in great protusion in this country and has @ similar appearance to the German; but as costly experiments have been made from time to time by manufacturers, and not proving satisfactory, it has been resolved to use only the German, COLO BING. To give color to glass gold, silver and other cost! metals are used to some extent, as they impart rich colors, THE NUMBER OF FACTORIES AND WHERE SITUATED. The large profits made during the war materially led to a large increase in the number of manafactorie Ten years ago there were but 127 whero there a now 213, This number includ clasees of mannfac- tories where every kind of glass is made, and, indeed, every style, These factories are principally situated in Cambridge, Sommerville, Boston, Sandwich and New Bedford, in Massaghusetts; Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Corning, Lancaster, New Lebanon, Roches- ter, Port Jervis and Lyons, in’ Now York Stato; Ber- e0, Millville, Glanboro, Tansboro, Williamstown and edford, in the State of New Jersey; Pittsburg, Alle- gheny, Poitadeiphia, West Philadelphia and White Mills, in Pennsylvania; Wheelmg, West Virginia; Belmont and Bellefontaine, in Ohio; St, Louis, in Missouri, and San Francisco, In California, These factories employ 240 hands, who are chiefly men and boys. There are, however, some women and girls engaged, whose o° Sy an pak the ane part, te pete eee ing and papering is and cleaning the arti itor the; heave the annealing ovens, if THR CONDITION OF THE HANDS fe generally prosperous, They are paid salaries ranging from $8 \o $40 per week, and ara. axa rule, industrious, hf cS ane F STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS, which have to some extent led to disastrous conse- quences to both the employer and employed. These trade unions were the cause of the manufacturers hold- ing several conventions to devise ways and means to protest their business and combat aguinat the continued encroachment on what they considered their interests on the part of the hands. The last of these conventions was held in New York in 1867, when an endeayor was made to regulate the prices at which goods should be sold, but this propdsed arrangement fell through, The glassware merchants also held several meetings in 1865 and succeeded in getting the factories to drop the unpleasant charge on their bills of the ‘war’? tax, They also endeavored to remove the charge for pack- ages. The manufacturers, with the exception of those making green glassware, resisted, and notlung has been accomplished in this regard since, and, in fact, no meet- ings of the trade have been had wince the tie named. BVYKCT ON IMPORTATION, ‘The continued improvement in manufactures in this country has very largely affected the import tra for, as’ previously said, this country is far ahead of al others in the ingenuity of constructing moulds, &c. For instance, there has lately been introduced an article called ‘fa die,” By its use Ls name or design can be placed in or taken out of the same mould, instead of making, as formerly, a separate mould for each name or design, which is still the case im Europe. By this cheap and ingenious device any druggist ean ehis name and address plaged on any bottle at a very small cost; {n fact, at merely the price of lettering. Another great feature is the perfect manner in which bottles are made for drug s!ores in this country; also the neatness in which the labelling is done through the agency of the glass lettering, which give a bright, novel, pleasing and attractive appearance to a store, besides being much superior to the old style of painting on gold leaf, which is yet the method employed in Europe, except in a few raré instances, where stores have been snpplied with their fittings from the stock of an enterprising establishment in this city. The busi- ness in DRUGGIST’S GLASSWARES in this city has become a most important one, as well as in other cities in the United States, and as rapid strides have been made in this branch of the glass trade as in any other the many styles and forms of goods in this line are perfectly astonishing. One house alone in this city has over 19,000 different styles, designs and sizes of glassware and is constantly adding to the assortment, In this trade there is no competition from Europe, for the reason that this country is far in advance, Occasionally there are a few articles of fancy ware received, but they are becoming less every year. ‘The other articles in giass imported to this country are those where great labor Is required, as described else- where, EXTENT OF THE TRADE, * Some idea of the extent of the glass trade-—althongh it is one but little thought of or spoken about—can be formed when the fact is taken into consideration that the amount of business done in this country, annually, in domestic productions, foots up Lo close upon $25,000, 000, The capital employed by the manufacturers and mer- chants is $12,000,000. The estimated amount of pro- duction, in this vicinity is $13,000,000, including the Eastorn States, The production of the entire United States is set down at $22,000,000, TRADE OF NEW YOR! New York sgpplies the Southern, Eastern and Middle States with all kinds of glassware, and nearly up to their full consumption, besides shipping large quantities to Cuba, Japan, China, Bermuda and: the South Ameri- can States, Some ten years ago lamps and table ware were the most prominent in exportations, and !m- mense quantities of glass lamps were shipped from here to England, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, China, Austria, Russia and South America; but latterly the trade im this line has been gradually dropping off TUR BASTIE PROCESS of making glass has been attempted in some factories lately, but as yet they have made but little progress, and it is: a question whether it will not be shortly en- urely abandoned. ‘This process of annealine, as claimed by the inventor, is said to prevent breaking; but as yet merchants cousider it doubtful, and all who are ‘in- terested in making or selling glass prefer the old style, for to them it is the sweetest music to hear breakages, when such do not occur in their own warchouses or factories. They are of opinion that glass has always been broken and always will be.

Scraxtox, Pa, Oct. 6, 1875. In accordance with the action of the coal combina- tion, requiring that those corporations fully employed during the summer should suspend work for @ few weeks to allow the accumulated argostes of anthracite at the several tidewater centres to be removed and sct the crowded cars that lie loaded there free once more, as well as to afford those capitalists that have been idle during the summer by reason of the protracted suspen- sion an opportunity to retrieve at least a portion of their losses, the large companies centring in this vicinity—to wit, the Delaware, Lackawanna and West- ern and Delaware and Hudson—have suspended work at nearly all their collieries for several weeks, throw- ing thousands of men and boys idle along the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys. The men were unprepared for such a crisis; in fact, it came upon them in the shape somewhat of a coup de main, and the thousands that find themselves idle to- day did not dream of such a thing two daysago, The only mines at present in operation in this vicinity are those required to keep up . THR NORTHERN SHIPMENTS, which are comparatively brisk all along the Albany and Susquehanna and its general branches as far as Lake Champlain. This is owing to the fact that the farmers along that line are laying im their winter store of coal. It is, however, but a small fraction of the regular ship- ments of thig region, and keeps employed about eight out of thirty of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West- ern Company’s colleries and six of the Deiaware and Hudson, the remainder of the mines, including these of William Connell & Co., Tiler & Livy, Hosie, Archibald & Hosie, the Kingston mines, and many others worked by individual operators, who sold their coal to the I. shipping companies, have been thrown idle until suc! time as the anthracite blockade at Rondout and Ho- boken is raised, ‘THE COAL COMBINATION of the great carrying companies has devised means by which those corporations thrown idle during the sum- mer may work on | ne J while the others rest, ana as a consequence the Tdleness of those I have mentioned is bat the signal for increased activity on the part of the Philadelphia and Reading, Lehigh and Wilkesbarre and other kindred coucerns. The Pennsylvania Coal -Company alone of those enjoying the full prosperity of the summer season keeps working right ahead, inde- pendent of any combina‘ion and governed only by the law of demand and supply. This company has always persistently refused to jom the combination, save only in the regulation of the rates of woges. In'the matter of shipments it is uncontrofied, and the chances aro that it will find its employés steady work throughout the winter, THE COAL SHIPMENTS: of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company usually a we about 10,000 tons per day, but at some periods during the past season th have reached as high as 15,000 tons, Those of the Dei- aware aud Hudson Canal Company average a fraction less than the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, and on several occasions they reached from 13, to 14,000 tons per day. Were there a revival of the iron trade these would be augmented considerably, and the spasmodic action of the labor market, go uncertain in its movements at present, would be placed under a steady and healthful control, ‘THR PROSTRATE CONDITION OF THE IRON TRADR, with no immediate hope of its revival, forms ono of the most discouraging features of the winter outlook in the anthracite regions, The iron industry is the very life of the coal business, and with it it fluctuates through its every phase, It 1, after all, but natural to expect that, with the general prostration of this most important of our industries, as well as the steadi- ness with which our mines were worked throughout the summer season, we should sufler from a short season of idleness now, But, unfortunately, this is the very worst period of the year to throw the mines idle, The poor rate of wages paid even in what might be called prosperous times prevented the toiling miners from saving something to ‘fall back on,’’ as they express it, inthe hour of need, and the consequence is that the multitudes aro stared in the face by a WINTER OF DISTRESS AND DESTITUTION, In such an event we may expect to find the coal region the theatre of crime and conflict, and in this it will not be aided much by the election squabbles and the rag money rows likely to ensue everywhore. Al- bagi 6 crime and outrage have begun to take advantage of the lengthening evenings, and there is scarcely a morning that our iy era are not called upon to record some story of a man robbed and half murdered or @ woman violated. The lower classes are becoming reckless, and their recklessness is of that heinous char. acter that made the French Commune a terror to civil- ization, THE FIFTY PER CENT STYLE. Montreal papers urge, in view of the large number of failures in that and other Canadian cities, the absolute necessity of some concerted action on the part of wholt sale merchants in treating with men who fail in bu ness.

THE HAYDEN SURVEY. COMPARISON OF THE ANCIENT AND MODERN POTTERY OF THE MoQUIS—INTERESTING DISCOVERIES BY THE EXPEDITION—THE MANUFACTURE AND ORNAMENTATION OF THE WARE, La Prata River, Sept. 6, 1875, In visiting the Moqui. towns we were enabled to compare the ancient pottery and stone implements which we had examined and collected among the ex- tensive ruins with those in household use among the modern Moqui tribe, which, we discovered, presented many points of similarity, and which, in many cases, were identical in form, size, colormg, glazing, &c. This comparison may be of great servico in proving the identity of the two peoples, or, more properly speak- ing, in showing thatthe ancient people of this country were the ancestors of the present Moqui race. We had found among nearly all ot these ruins sec- tions of long, flat, smoothly-ground stones, which had evidently been used by the ancients, but for what pur- pose we were at a loss to determine, In all the houses of the Moqui towns, however, we observed these same stones, which were, undoubtedly, used for the samo purpose—that is, for grinding corn, We had also picked up broken pieces of a larger stone which had been hollowed out by long rubbing, and these we discovered were the flat millstones of the modern Moquis. There were also large flat polished stones lying among many of the ruined buildings which we afterward discovered were identical with the oven stones of the moderns. These points of similarity im themselves would have been sufficient to establish the fact that the two people bore a strong resemblance in their habits and methods of labor. But in addition to theso we observed lying on the housetops and through the courts of the Moqui towns a number of large stone mortars and pestles, of which we had seen several in the different ruins. Stone axes and ham- mers lay around the streets and plazas of Tegua which, we were told, had been fashioned, long before the ap- pearance of iron in the tribe, by the forefathers of the present Moquis, and these had descended down as heir- looms for centuries, The general shape of these tools was exactly similar to many we had diseovered and un- earthed amid the ruins and ancient graves along the San Juan River, One—a nicely carved hammer—which we had noticed lying in a pile of rocks in the centre of the plaza of Tegua, measured about fifteen inches in length and weighed twenty-five pounds, Such implements as this, weighing at least twenty pounds, have been found on the banks of the San Juan, though how such un- wieldy tools could have been handled it is difoult to conceive, THE PorTERy. ‘The strongest points of similarity in the productions of the two peoples, however, are to be found in their pottery; for, notwithstanding the undeniable fact that the modern pottery is far inferior in quality to that which was manufactured five centuries ago, the art has been undoubtedly handed down from time immemorial. The general forms of the vessels have been preserved, and for each one we find among the rubbish of broken ware surrounding the ancient ruins a corresponding one may be seen among the Moquis, One of the com- monest varieties of earthen pots which we discovered among the different ruins were dug up near an immenso ruined town on the Rio de Chelly. As we advanced southward and entered the Navajo country we noticed many of these pots of the same size, shape and manu- facture in daily use m the Navajo lodges. They had been obtained from the Moquis recently, and on our visit to the latter we saw many of them sitting bottom uppermost on their chimneys, Another form of pot used by them for chimney-pots has a plain burned gur- face, while on Epsom Creek, in a deserted side canyon, we found a vessel identical in shape and size, but having an ornamented, scaly sur- face, The ordinary modern Moqui water jug is almost {nvariably moulded in the same form, usually of plain work, but frequently painted geometrically, and highly glazed, from an inch to a foot and a halt in diam- eter, They are made somewhat flattened on one sido to rest more evenly on the back of the water carrier. A somewhat similar form of jug was discovéred among the ruins of the Rio de Chelly, and this specimen is one of the finest examples of well executed ancient-ware ever discovered in this country. Dippers, ladles, bowls and saucers have been collected from the ruins bearing a close resemblance to the Moqui utensils, ORNAMENTAL PAINTING, Until very recently it was believed that the ancient people never ornamented their crockery with paintings of animate objects, and the photographic party have probably made the first discoveries in this art. In Ep- som Creek a small fragment of very ancient highly glazed pottery was picked up, representing the figure of an animal, most probably an elk. This ani- mal representation is very common on the modern pottery, but horses are usually pic- tured. We discovered in tho canyon of the Montezuma a valuaole specimen which is most proba- bly the very first which has been found in the whole “extent of these ruins, It had once been a portion of the neck of a vase or earthen jar on which was mod- elled in bas relief out of the same clay an image of a frog a little over an inch in length. ‘The modern tribe have entirely lost this art save in the modeling of the ends of their dipper bandles into the representations of cats’ heads. Examples of this kind, illustrating the fact that the art of manufacturing the modern pottery was Inherited from this older peo- plo, might be cited until they filled a volume. Itis needless, however, to pursue the comparison further, MANUFACTURE OF POTTERY, We observed on our visit to the Moqui villages in Arizona that each family made its own ware. For this purpose there are, in or near every house, square holes or kilns built or cut in the walls, in which the earthen- ware is burned, This task falls to the lot of the women, who first mould the vessels trom the plastic yellow clay, then paint, glaze and attend tothe baking. Many of these same ovens were observed in the more perfectly preserved ruins of the San Juan River. From these facts it will appear that there never existed large wholesale burning kilns, as was at one time supposed, but just as at present the Navajo squaw weaves all the basketware used in her own family each ancient household was supplied with all of its crockery. Wherever we found large quantities of broken pottery around old ruins we invariably discovered numbers of arrow points, which would seem to indicate that the destruction of the ware had been accomplished during fight. On the other hand, we found no ruins where arrow heads existed in the entire absence of broken pottery. ‘The subject is one full of interest and should be more carefully investigated. Although we were enabled to devote but six weeks to the ekamination of a large territory it may be safe to presume that more dis. coveries relative to the pottery of the past havo been made than by any other party heretofore, Many of these interesting relice may be seen in the offices of the Survey during the approaching winter, and without doubt many antiquarians will avail themselves of this opportunity to study them, BEAD ORNAMENTS, Before concinding, I will mention one other discovery which we made. In many of the ruins we found bead ornaments, which were of four kinds. The first was made from a species of marine shell, about an inch in length and conical in shape, A hole was bored length- wise, through which a thong was passed to suspend it, The next was made from another species of gea shell. Itwas perfectly white, as thin as a wafer, and the cir- cumference of a pea, with the perforation in the cen- tre, The next variety of ornaihent wasa small, pol- ished, flat stone, equare and perforated at one end. Turquois also existed among these people, but we found only one bead in allof our examinations. The sen shells had probably been obtained through their inter- course with more western tribes and those who had come from the seacoast to trade, It may be possible that the ancient Moquis themselves gathered these shells from the Pacific beach, as they undoubtedly ox- tended as far west as the Colorado River, where to this day their ruined dwellings are found, Although these ruins may not be able to boast of as great an antiquity as many of the prehistoric remains of Europe, they are fracght with much more interest and are enveloped in a heavier cloud of obscurity and doubt, originating more conjectures and theories than have ever been advanced on perhaps any other ar- chiological or ethnological subjects, A PERILOUS SLUMBER. Joseph Heckler, of No, 220 Grand street, was severely burned about the head while asieep early yesterday morning. The fire was caused by a lighted candle left burning by the bedside, The bed on which Heckler lay became ignited. The flames wero extinguished by OMicer Burke, of the Fourteanth precincy ROBERT DALE OWEN. RETURNING TO HIS FAMILY—HIS RESTORATION ‘TO SANITY AND HEALTH—HIS LETTER.

Robert Dale Owen from hospital and return bim to the world “restored,” Lhave thought best to offer to the public, through the Journal, the accompanying letter from Mr. Owen to myself as a better mtroduction and guarantee of men- tal integrity than any assurance of recovery which I could give. Mr. Owen goes hence to bis old home, “New Harmony,” where he will continue for a time to “vest from his labors’? under advice; but I see no reason now why he should not, after a time, resume his work, with all of the vigor and ability incident to his age and habits of his life, Very respectfully, ORPHEUS EVERTS, Ivpranavorts, Oct. 1, 1875. My Dear Sir—Now that you have consented that I shall, in a week or two, leave this institution, tn which Ihave spent not a few pleasant and profitable days, allow me to address to you a few observations shg- gested by the circumstances in which I have recently been placed, When my children, actuated by a single desire for their father's welfare, and acting under the advice of older persons, brought me here, I am not prepared to say that they did an injudicious thing, In som the boldest ts ulso the wisest policy, It is when a distinguished man of letters of my ance, working for the Harpers, found at last had overtask his braims and nerves, it was not devmed necessary to seclude him, as I have been se- cluded from the’ world; my incomings and outgoings, and all my habits regulated and governed, as far as practicable, by the will ot others—he simply “loafed about’ (as he himself afterward expressed it to me) for @ year or more, warned, when he occasionally returned to his desk, that the time for resumption had not yet arrived, But I come of arace strong willed, sanguine, withal somewhat impetuous, and in ny case heroic treatment may have been more needed than in his. Napoleon Bonaparte was in the habit of judging men and measures by their success; not a bad test, upon the whole, and it is certain that I have not only got rid of all dyspeptic symptoms whatever, but Py physical health having very essentially improved during my stay here, I tind myself much more tranquil—less ex- citable than when I was placed under your care. Therefore I do not regret what has happened, except in so far as it may have given pain or uneasiness to many dear and kind friends, in this country and in Europe, who, not knowing the exact state of my case, may have imagined my condition to be lingering, if uot hopeless, ‘No man, under circumstances such as mine, can bea competent judge of his own past condition; yet it seems to me (taking, I think, a dispassionate ‘view of what has happened), that my condition was not dissim- ilar to that of the friend alluded to above—exhaustion of brain and nerve force by overwork at first, and until what [felt to be arbitrary restraint tended to irritation, I do not forget, however, that I have inherited (probably from my’ good father), a mental tendency toward over-nopefulness, under which probabilities or possibilities assume the aspect of certainties, the clement of time not‘ being sufficiently taken into ac- count, and I have observed that this tendency shows itself in me, especially after illness, Now, { bad, dur- ing the month of May last, at the Dansville (N. Water-cure a severe illness, beginning with fever, con- fining me to bed for eleven days, and causing me to lose seventeen pounds im weight in the course of twenty days. It was the only really severe iliness that I have had for more than fifty years, The other great sickness of my lite occurring when I was only ten or twelve years old, you will find described, and its results stated in my little volume of autobiography, entitled, “Threading My Way,” at pages 122-3, But my recovery to good health in the last instance has beea more rapid than in the first, extending through four or five mouths only, watead of a y Bulwer, who ougnt to know, says well:—‘There is nothing more suluiary to active men than occasional intervals of repose—when we look within instead of without, and examine almost insensibly what we have done—what we are capable of doing’? I have had proof during the three months of my resi- dence in this hospital that the above remark is just, I have seen much in the place, also, that furnished mate- rial for new thought, and have learned much that will benefit me in the future, and, I hope, have gained many friends in a class which I had rarely, until now, bad such opportunity of studying. I seem, also, to have made gain by my seclusion hero in the way of reputation. If aman wishes to be well spoken of by those who had hitherto slighted or re- proved him, he had better either die or suller a tempo- rary civic death by confinement in a lunatic asylum. De mortuis nil nisi bonum—we speak with tender favor of the dead. This has been amply ilustrated by the many newspaper noticea of myself which have fallen under my observation since an inmate of this in- stitution, { trust that on entering the world again [ shull give no cause for retraction of these good opin- ions of the press, so kindly volunteered while tempo- rarily secluded. In’ conclusion I wish to say, for every reasonable alleviation of my confinement while subject to your care and authorty, I shall ever owe a debt of gratitude to yourself and to every member of your family, 1am, my dear sir, faithfully yours, ROBERT DALE OWEN. To Onrmecs Everts, M. D., Superintendent of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, ROBERT COLLYER. [Chicago correspondence Louisville Courier-Journal. ] The place was Unity church study; the man, whose tireless energy and boundless humanity had given him such good right to its possession, was Robert Collyer, and I never saw more fitting form and face in so fitting a frame, The form was a strong one—a full, square, solid head, solidly set on broad shoulders above a deep, heavy chest, with arms and limbs as strong and solid as columns of iron; @ body large but not obese, thick set but never flabby—in fact, @ man with a noble frame and strong hands that had never done aught but honest. work in an honest way. If Collyer’s physical build coupels respect, his head and face none the less win your admiration and love. His forehead, which is al- ways partly covered by the plentiful gray hair that will never lie smoothly, is broad, full, and, down the shaggy, protrading eyebrows, a mass monumental knobs that speak indomita- ble will and hard fought mental victories, Underneath the bushy gray eyebrows are two great tender eyes that will melt your own or convnise you with laughter, in a fulness ‘of setting that tells of boundless fervor and ideality. From the bridge of his broad nose to the base of his full, ripe chin there are lines and curves and indentations that a most tell his history. His full, quivering nostrils are alive with hu- mor and merriment; the long, broad upper lip, curved and closely drawn where it touches the lower one, whispers decision and courage, and the meeting of the two ix like a supreme selt-victory, forever showing the blessed trinity of humor, tenderness and humanity, I should say that in repose the face had a touch of inde- seribable sadn in thought, there was never a more earnest one. pt a handsome man is Robvert Collyer. He is a grand one. And so, seated in his great rustic rocking chair, his arms resting upon its arms, his head thrown back carelessly and his oe following the sun- light that came through the south window, with the city sounds which ebbed and flowed dreamily, myself at the wide, plain table, I got from him what I had come for; and, trust me, what is no easy matter to get, as Robert Collyer is nota man who “interviews” for newspaper POISONED STOCKINGS. The recent introduction and extended use of colored or striped stockings, and the evil effects experienced by the wearers of them, have served to direct the atten- tion of the physician and analyst to the question of the dyes used in coloring them, The Pall Mall Gagette, in noticing the evil effects of wearing colored hose, cites several instances whero the first symptoms were in- tense irritation in the skin of the feet, swelling, and an inflamed appearance; then an outbreak of watery blis- ters of all sizes, from groups of the size of hemp seed to single blisters on the sole ot the foot larger than a five. shillin, ganar feverishness, rigors, loss of appetite and a sen- sation of pervading aise, In asevere attack the pationt was rarely able to walk for throe weeks, and afier one attack passed off it was often followed by another of a milder type, In one case a gentle- man was obliged to wear cloth shocs for upward of eight months, and with other patients the tom has been so impregnated with the poison that blisters have reappeared at intervals, not only on the feet, on the bands, ears, &¢., for more than three year There was no doubt as to the cause and method of this blood-poisoning, for the blisters first came iy stripes corresponding to the colored stripes on the stockings, and the Iaundresses complained of the irritation aud inflamed condition of their hands after washing these poisonous articles, A Scotch lady who suifered from a like cause brought a secvessful suit against the firm which supplied her with the goods, and it was formally announced by them that henceforth the use of arsenic in the composition of the dyes would be discontinued. Although having no wish to appear as “alarmists,” yet it if evident that the occasion is one calling for watchful care on the part of both pur- chaser and mamufaeturer, As We have suggested above, these jact® are worthy of special consideration at present. For, where the fashion of wearing striped Stockings will, without doubt, soon be contined to gentienen alone, yet the uso by them of questionable colors may result in the disastrous eflects above described. . A DESPERADO. | Officer Crampton, of Hempstead, was on Weilnesday sent to Merrick to arrest Frank Thompson, a colored man who bears the reputation of being a dosperate character, and who was charged with assault, battery and petit larceny. Thompson was not at home, but the officer met him on the road and arrested him, A short time after being taken into the wagon Thompson man- aged to tumble both himself and tne officer out upon the ground, and started to run after kicking the officer in the breast and biting his hand. The officer told him to stop or he would shoot him, but Thompson paid no heed, and the officer fred a shot to irighten him. This not having the desired effect, the officer auned at the fugitive and fired ' again, this time lodging a ball in his leg, Thompson was then taken before Justice Snedeker, of Hempstead, and sen- tenced on the original charge to sixty days im the County Jail and a fine of $20, to stand committed unt! the fine is patd, The assault upon Officer Crampton anda charge of horse stenting will be considered here. ators THE SPEAKERSHIP. PEN PICTURH OF MICHAEL C. KERR. (from the St, Louis Republican. Mr. Kerr is a tall, strongly built, broad-shouldered man. Hoe is not, tn the school-girl acceptance of the term, handsome; but he has a fine, frank countenance, and his manners are impressive and agreeable, His voice on the floor of Congress (as 1 frequently heard it years ago) is exceptionally clear and distinct, with something’of the intonation and deliberation of George W. Julian’s, for which I not unfrequently mistook it. It is not as heavy and sonorous as Genoral Nathaniel P. Banks’, nor as stilted aa Fernando Wood's, nor as tickled and penetrating as jolly Sam Cox’s, nor as nasal 4s handsome Sam Randall's, Whether Sr, Kerr is or is not familiar with parliamentary rales I do not know, So far asthe work of the House of Representatives is concerned the democrats will have to ‘do their hand somest’’ to place a Speaker there who can excel the republican Speakers, Banks, Grow, Colfax and Blane, Pennington I never saw, and know him by report as only a dignified galoot of the “old school’” of gentle- men—whatever that “school” of human fish may sig- nify. Grow was young and bright, Banks was slower, but acknowledged to be the most dignified and most agreeagle and correct Speaker since the retire. ment of the democracy. Colfax was as oleaginous as Venango county, Pennsylvama, and as thorough as @ professor in his knowledge of ‘rules,’’ and as quick as chain lightning, Blaine was more brusque, generally correct, and a more impetuous “driver” than any of them. ' Kerr would, perhaps, be slower, but I think sat- isfying and sure, His diction would be better than Fernando Wood's, A lady who sat in the diplomatic gallory a year ago and was shocked and disgusted with Mr. Wood’s diction says he spoke of Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute, as ‘Profess-or Heno-ry,”? and when his dignified bosom swelled with patriotic love of this country, he called it “my count-e-ry.” Mr. Kerr would not indulge in fucetiousness, while little Sammy Cox would quell the uproar in the cave of the winds with one of his tnimitable sallies of button-burst- ing wit, humor, burlesque, or ridicule, With Cox in the Speaker's chair and Proctor Knott, of Kentucky (him who drew that wonderful picture of Jay Cooke's bohanza zone, and the herds of buffaloes carrying the millions of bushels of wheat to Duluth), on the floor, i would be all play and no work in the next Congress. Michael C. Kerr is a native of Titusville, Pa., where he was born not quite a half century ago—Mareh 17, 1827, Attwenty-four years of age he graduated at the Louisville University, and in 1852 began the practice of law in this city, Two years later he was clected city attorney, and in 1855 he was chosen prosecuting attor- ney of this county. In 1856, the year of Fremont’s Presidential campaign, Mr, Kerr was olected to the In- diana Legislature, and, five years after his legislative service, he was chosen ‘on the democratic State ticket, in 1862, a8 reporter to the Supreme Court of the State, in which office he edited five volumes of the reports, In 1864 he was first elected to Congress, beginning his service in that body in December, 1865, In 1866, 1868 and 1870, he was re-elected to Congress. Ho has thus served cight years in the national legislature, and in December commenced his fitth term, or ten years of service, Mr. Kerr isa student and a gentleman of honor, and & man of knowledge and ability. When in Washington city and familiarly acquainted with his political oppo- nents I had some knowledge of the opinion entertained of him by them, It was invarfably complimentary. He is temperate in his habits and as regular and circum- spect as a sanctified chronometer. He does not believe in sumptuary liquor laws, but is a practical ‘‘teetotaler.”” FLY-CATCHING RATS. [From tho Newburg (N. ¥.) Telograph.] afr. C. B, Odell, at his new hotel on Front street, is tho happy owner of a fly-extermiuator, which for thorough work. is unsurpassed by anything we have ever secu, In one of the windows fronting on Front street, where samples of his wares are occasionally shown, arat began several weeks since to make sly visits, and secured a good meat as often as he came by catching the many flies which are onthe panes of glass, Ho grew very expert atit, and, though at first quite shy, soon became emboldened when he found he was not disturbed in his foraging expeditions, and would pursue his business not im the least intimidated by spectators, who were only separated from him by apane of glass. He obtained entrance to this window by gnawing a hole through the wooden base, coming from below, For weeks he has pursued bis fly-hunting business undisturbed. One Sunday oue of the waiters discovered him in the act of introducing @ friend or member of his family to his foraging ground. Tho newoomer was very shy, and only put his heat through, while the old habitué tried to coax him into the window. ite would catch a fly, gravely hand it to his friend, who would as gravely eat it and look for more. By degrees he lost a little of his fear, walked out, and soon became an expert in the new Business. Either one or both may be seen almost any day by any one who may be patient enough to wait for their ap- pearance a short time.
