U px J3in1i gOslovtau. ASTORIA. OREGON : YRIDAY- -TA '.il.JSSl Alitor. B.C. ICELAND John Kelly net Dead. The Asc f Progress. The statement that glass can be so tempered by what is known as the Siemens process that it can be used for the ties of railways, is -very easily capable of verification; and the incredulous public would much prefer to read the details, of the experiment actually demon strating the fact. 1 f glass can be made to take the place of wood for railway ties, the usefulness of that beautiful crystalline substance for a thousand other equally im portant and more noble purposes is at once established. "Temper ed f lass," we are told, '-can be ob--tained in great pieces, gifted with power of resistance of which its specific lightness, compared with heavy metals, would not give the least presumption. It can now be -used, notably in carpentry, for posts, joists, ties and bnttreses. It combines the advawtages of strength and of incorruptibility in contact with all atmospheric agen cies, as well as with all chemical factors, and, consequently, is of perpetual duration." And then, yre arc further assured that it is comparatively very cheap, being now, at the outset, no more ex- pensire than the same weight of iron; and, as a matter ol course, as the demand increases there will be a decline in the price, until it -will not be long until it will be as cheap as wood. If this should be the case, there is no reason why its use should not be extended almost without limit. AVe may expect, then, that the house and household utensils of the future will be material modifi cations of the present style infi nitely more curable, cleanly and beautiful. House-painting and graining will take its place among the outworn arts. The roof and the various floors might be made of glass, and even the walls might be made of this material double plates securing a dead-air space of warmth in winter, and easily changed to secure coolness in sum mer by converting the enclosed space into a flue for the heated air currents. VTe should then bave buildings which, in the mat ter of lightning, would Ife perfec tion. Such walls -would be trans lucent; while they would admit the passage of light, they would not permit objects to be visible through them, so that while they would have all the advantages of being perfectly lighted they -would be impervious to imperti nent observations. Men could then not only live in glass houses, but might throw stones without fear of having their own domiciles shivered to atoms in return. For foundation walls and basement floors nothing more fitting can be conceived, exciuding Hampness, mould and rust; abol ishing rats, mice, cockroaches, and every species of iusects so an novincr to careful housewives. But even if this tempered glass should not come into use for the construction of entire buildings, it could be made to play an im portant part in the matter of decoration. As is known, this substance can be colored to any shade of any hue; and in this vari . gated form its ornamental uses would attortt tne arcnuecturai an ist a limitless field. For arches, for interior columns, panels, window-frames, cornices, center-pieces, mautels, and all that sort of finish, It would be capable of infinite diversity in form, color and artistic effort. And then, it is probable .ahat many f the projecting feat ures ef the exterior of a building, torches, bav-windows, balconies, etc.; might be made of glass of any desired color, which, in the sun, would produce all sorts of changing iridescent effects and give to a residence all the appear ance of a latry palace, x nese ana thousand other improvements in -ihe character of household furni ture and utensils come within the ireach of the new discovery, if it jproves to be all that is promised. John Kelly, notwithstanding his late defeat, does not seem to be so completely down as his democrat ic opponents hoped. He is still the central figure of New York politics, and judging by the New York papers there is but little interest there except his possible action in the future. There is a latent conviction that he is not dead but sleeping, and his con querors are watching his move ments with ill-disguised uneasi ness. Kelly is lum aware uiai a desperate attempt will be made to dethrone him in Tammany hall, for as lonr as he is the leader of that organization he is a foe to be feared. With characterise promptness he is turning his atten tion to maintaining his ascendency in Tammany, and is wielding his present power there to secure the election of a proper general com mittee for the ensuing year. The meetings of Tammany committee of organization are lively assem blages just at present, owingto the pointed manner in which Kelly and his friends animadvert on the motives and characters of those who are suspected of a want of faithfulness to him in his fallen fortunes. The chief inference de dticiblc from the debatas of these meetings is that every man who opposes Kelly is a thief, and every man who does not oppose him is something worse; but in the end the Kelly sentiment prevails, and a number of recent Tammanyites are nlaced under the ban of the chiefs displeasure. There will be consternation among the New York democrac' if Kelly should happen to win. XEW TO-DAY. c o - -- 2 2 o. I L C TT, e "5 - i e :C0 a ' 1 I s - i 1 -'? i S n u v. MISCELLANEOUS. G. W.

Here is one paragraph of it: Tho United States has entered, as it were, spontaneously upon a career of development almost unparalleled iu the history of the world. By the rrowth of the states alone the Pacific coast, by tne erection of the trans continental lines of railway, by the occupation of new lands, by the open ing of new mines, by the increasing mechanics and manufacturing enter prises, by the introduction of her pro ducts on an amazing scale into the commerce of the world, by her de votion to a system f finance which requires incessant industry among all classes of her people, and the cheap est possible means of intercourse and transportation the United States has given new and deeper importance to every method by which industry can be advanced and commerce can be promoted. It should not be forgotten that the states of North and South America lvimr on the Pacific, furnish in large abundance those commodities which are constantly supplied with markets in almost every country in Europe. The guano and nitre trade is immense. From the ports of Chili nearly 400,000 tons of freight are ship wed eastward annually. More than a million tons of grain are shipped each year from the Pacific states and terri tories. There is no doubt that more than 4,000,000 tons of merchandise find their waj from these regions to the east, and require water communi cation in order that they may bo ship ped economically and profitably. And this is merchandise to which rail way transportation across the conti nent is wholly inapplicable. The great wheat crops of California and Oregon, for instance, find their way to Liverpool, around Cape Horn, at a freight rate of 50 cents per bushel, a rate which would not carry it by rail half way to Bston or New York or Philadelphia to be there shipped to European destination.

Miller as United States senator for California, the Church man says: It is as much a compli ment to the public seHtiment of the state, as to the gentleman him self. No public man in the state or nation, enjoys a wore stainless reputation, or a higher character for intecrritv. If we excent the Presidency, there is no position so important and influential, or which affords such a thoatre for the ex ercise of great abilities. Gen. Miller has hitherto been known chiefly for the boldness, sagacity, and activity displayed in his mili tary career; and for foresight, en ergy, and success, in business en- terprizes. Ho now occupies a po sition which will give scope to the broad statesmanship and oratorial powers, whick we predict, lie will be found to possess in a yery emi nent degree.
