Tho earlioyt specimen of Murano glass known to exist is tho Marriage Cup in the Corror Museum, with enameled portraits of a man and a woman. This is attributed to Borovioro, 1J50.

Thoy wore at ono timo bought for jC3 12s. and 3, and wore among tho gems of Prince Soltykoff's collection. Thoy were acquired by Mr. Slado for 2Ug and 101. Their prosent value is much greater it is said that 3,000 has boon offorod for tho famous By zantino tozia of St.

A cheaper stylo was afterwards adopted, when the ornaments were simply painted in oil colors on tho glass.

Senator Henry W. Blrtir, in the North American ijeuteio, in a paper on "Alcohol in Politics," in which he takes tho ground that alcohol Is already in politics, says of tho feeling in this oountry on the subject There is not a single Stato of the Amorlcan Union to day in which tho people do not as a wholo believe the liquor question to ba tho most important ono which politically concerns the public weal. True, existing parties aro not willing that this question should como to the front. Existing forms aro always conservative. They fear and oppose tho coming giant, for they know that ho will fashion all things anew.

But ideas are almighty and issues force themselves. They will bo decided. Progress is but tho Buccessivo decisions of issues as they present themselves to tho minds of men and this temperance issuo which has stalked unbidden to the front will not bo stayed or turned back. The atato of mind which gives three hundred and twenty thousand votes to prohibition in Ohio is ripening in Alabama, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Oregon, and Illinois everywhere in tho national domain. Thoro are but few honest men and no women who really dispute tho terrible charges which aro mado against tho use of alcohol as a bevorago.

If alcohol is in politics and tho issue iB to bo met, tho question of method must bo first de oided. There aro but thrco courses open FBEEDOM, LICENSE, PROHIBITION. Society nowhere attempts to exist with tho traffic in alcoholic liquors unrestricted. Experience has compelled the attempt at restriction, ao that the. question of the right of society in tho promises is settled, just as is tho right of self defense.

Thero remaiu then only tho remedios of license and prohibition, and the question as to which shall bo employod must bo decided wholly oy the enect which eitner remedy pronucea when practically applied, Botwceu theBo methods of action the choico of tho peoplo is constantly being mado, and it is this process which, in a groat measure, constitutes tho reform itself. That which believes itself to bo tho true temperance soutiment in this country considors thD alleged romcdy of license, whether high or low, as no remedy at all, and as a flagitious partnership of society with alcohol. It may be granted that liceusa is a source of revenuo to iho State. So were indulgences for other crimes in former agos and tho license of any single crimo whatever is as justifiable as that of the common causo of overy crime. The masses of tho peoplo are comprohondiug this and sco clearly that rnouiniTioN is the only remedy.

All else is a cheat and a snare. This much has boen demonstrated a thousand times during tho last half century, and tho vordict is made. up. If any one disputes this proposition now do not hope to convince him by any array of facts, but search for soino ulterior causo of self or party interest, or tendency in poraonal habit or of social life, or a belief that the uso should not be restrained at all save by personal choice. Tho evilB of alcohol are national in extent.

No ono disputes the powor of the General Government to regulate or destroy tho liquor traffic in the Territories ex copt thoso who hold to tho full grown doctrines of squatter sovereignty, and who would remit intemperance and all other ovils and, in fact, the wholo social status to tho people of Territories themselves. As regards tho States, if tho powor of each of them ovor tho alcohol traffic wcro absolute, thoro would bo no occasion for this article. Co operative Ilousekccpiiifr. Housekeepers will for the most part heartily indorse tho sensihlo viows of a writer in Lippineotl't oxpresses tho following opinions regarding co operative housekeeping Until tho timo shall como when working girls shall bo taught somothing of tho elementary principles of domestic service as a neoossary part of their education, until that millennial timo shall arrive which we now dimly boo from afar and greet with ardent longing, what shall tho dwellers in Binall towns and country villages do for sorvants At present the complications in which this question ia involved seem to ho almost overwhelming. It ia all very well for theorists to say that tho housekeeper should bo superior to all possiblo emergencies should ho able to "iiolp7 herself when other help fails tho practical workings of this exalted principle aro by no meaua ao simple aa would appear.

For the mother of a family in moderate circumstaucos to moot all tho VARIED AND COMPLICATED DUTIES of society and of homo iB an arduous taak at beat whon the'domestic maohinory is brought to a stand still by an Interregnum below stairs thcdifnculties become simply Insuperable. To reduca Ha disasters of such an interregnum tho most efficient way would bo, not for tho mlstross to be herneli capable of playing all tho parts, but for the parts to bo mado as fow in number as possible. For too muoh work is dono in our homes, and with a general result of gratuitous discomfort. A blighting atmosphere of work andwoariness steals subtly upward from busy boura and regiona and caata ita baleful shadow over timos and places which ahould be sacred to obbo and leisure and domestic joy. Why should tho family washing and baking, for instance, bo done under tho bomo rool 7 Thero is no reason for it in tho nature of things oxcopt that thus it may on both better and moro cheaply done, and neither of theso results is by any means euro to follow.

But, granting that they do, tho same results may be achieved at far leaa cost of care and worry if the housekeeper would but bring to meet tho question from another side a tithe of tho onergy and intelligence which she now expends upon it. Co oporation in this matter, as in so many others, may bo the key that fits tho lock of this omergoncy. No prudent mother, certainly, would willingly Bet before her children the broad and cake and pastry of a country bakery. But why not have a bakery of her own, where food could bo prepared in tho aamo manner aa in the homo kitchen and at no greater cost In every family employing a cook or gonoral servant it is fair to estimate that from one sixth to one teuth of HER TIME IS SPENT in tho various operations involved in baking. Lot, thon, from six to ten housekeepers combiiio to hire somo competent perBon to do this work for them in tho manner in which it would bo dono at homo.

It would not bohard to find, in a villago of inhabitants 5r moro, somo poor woman who has soon enough of better days to bo at least pervious to enllghtoned ideas on tho making of bread and pastry. Probably two or three of tho housekeepers in question would havo already upon thoir consciences somo widow or poor woman, of moro intelligence than strength, who ia utterly unoqual to tho severe dmdgory which is all that ahe can find to do, and would be just tho one to undurtako a co operative bakery. A very small tax upon tho co operators would aot hor up in tho necessary implements tho materials could bo purchased at wholesale, thereby effecting a saving at tho outset, and a small profit upon the baking of eight families would bo enough to pay her for hor timo and troublo, without unduly raising tho cost of tho articles thus provided. 1 If washing, ironing and baking could thus be subtracted from tho sum of housohold labors many a family now obliged to keep a servant would comfortably manage with none, to tho very great improvement of the domestic finances whilo one sorvaut at least could ho spared from larger households, to the matorial diminution of tho ousemother's cares and small annoyances. Venetian tilaav.

"A beautifully illustrated paper in tho Amcr. ican Magazine of A rl describes Venetian Glass," its origin and popularity and, among other Interesting things given in it regarding tho subject, are theso Tho spell of Venice possibly owPd somo of Hb power during tho Middle Ages to tho subtle beauty of those numberless objects of glass ware, silent witnesses to her superior handicraft, which hor far roaching commerce carried to tho utmost limits of tho world. Certainly no manufacture since classical times had ever achieved so widely oxtondod or so lasting a renown as the far famed glass of Venice which Coccio Sabellieo, in describes as comprising "all things that can attract or delight tho eyca of mankind." Amongst our national treasures thero are fow objects that wo children of a later day have endeavored moro earnestly, or perhaps more successfully, to emulate than these bo witching phantasies. History rarely keeps record of the beginning of famous manufactures and of tho origin of Venetian glass we havo no certain knowledce. Tho interest of this subject has led various writers to devote themselves to tho elucidation of its early history.

Profeasor Zanetti, director of tho Corror Museum at Murano, is tho highest authority in Italy and tho modern revival of this ancient art owes much to his learning and patient research, while in England wo are greatly indebted to the zeal and learning of Mr. Franks and Mr. Nesbitt. Native historians assert that the art was practiced iu tho lagoons of Venice as early as the Fifth Century. It is poHsiblo that refugees from Italy, some of them experienced in au art then practised universally in Rome and other cities, may havo remarked tho extraordinary natural advantages possessed by tho lagoouB for the manufacture of glass tho abundanco of fine sand and maritime plants yielding alkali and turnod theso RICH GIFTS to suoh a use.

Doubtless tho existence of theso naturaf advantages contributed later to give Venice hor superiority. In the days of her after renown, not contont with her native productions, she aont her boats to tho classic river BeinB to gather and bring back the aand celebrated by so many pagan writers. Documentary evidence only begins 1,083, Professor Zanotti having lately discovered in the archives of Murano a paper of that date rolating to trado regulations in glass making. The increasing importance of tho industry began to attract tho attention of the Great Council, and many laws were mado regulating the trado. In 1275 au edict prohibited the exportation of sand or any aubatanco used in making glass, or oven bits of broken glass, though masses of glass might bo Imported aa ballast.

By these and similar devices tho republic strove zealously to guard from the outer world the Hecrets of a manufacture which brought hor citizens such gain. Though Venice gavo her name to all the glass objects, ihe factories, for fear of fire, were banished the city in 12'Jl, makers of small wares boing allowed to remain on condition that fiftcon paces were left between their workshops and houseB. In 1159 wo find ono PIctro, whose namo sounds Italian, at work upon mosaic. Tho taking of Constantinople (1204) sent many Greeks to Venice, and thoy doubtless brought much additional knowledge to tho factories already establisheed. Tho GLASS TREASURES OF ST, MARK'S aro Bupposod to bo part of the plunder of Constantinople.

They are tho most clearly marked specimens of Byzantine work known. Twenty years after (122 1) wo read that twenty nine phiolarii were reproved for breaking the official regulations laid down for tlio management of tho works. Some years later, iu the procession at the Doge's election, the glaBa workers exhibited decanters, scent bottlcB and so forth and soon aXtenraid, by a decret of tha Senate. thv made una.

The ushering in of the year 1884 is likely to be observed with tho enthusiasm usual on such occasions. Tho young people, and not a few of the matnro heads, are evidently prepared to perform the duties incident to tho annual celebration. Tho list presented by the Eagle to day contains the names of legions of ladies who will doubtless see that nothing is wanting to compensato tho gentlemen for the salutations of tho season which will be showered upon their fair heads. "A Happy New Year" expresses tho mutual wishes of tfl mankind at this season, and it is hoped that nothing will occur anywhere within tho borders of Brooklyn on Tuesday to mar the joy and good cheer which should prevail at the advent of tho new yoar.

39 Lawrence street. THAT'S ALL RIliHT." An Interesting Story From tlie Wild West. Laramio Boomerang. It oocurred in the Winter of '81 82, at Cheyenne, tho capital of Wyoming. Ho was a member of the Territorial Legislature, roprosented a Western county, and his name was Smith.

Ho had been in attendance upon tho daily sessions of that august body all through tho term, and, like most of his worthy colleagues had spent Bomo money during the time. Ho hadn't spent any great amount of cash either, for that mattor, but had used his cheek so often that it had become us tough as a boarding house flapjack. He put up with Landlord Joues, who ran the Railroad House at that time, and bought most of his Havanas and tho coffin varnish at Luke Murrin's. Murrin nlwaya kept the best, and Smith was a connoisseur when it came to cold poison. Singularly enough, too, his bill at Murrin's was about $100 moro than ho owed for board at Jones', but either of them would buy Senntor Tabor three or four pair of suspenders with jeweled buckles.

A day or two before tho final adjournment Smith called for hiB bill at Murrin's, and after glancing carelessly over tho formidable array of hguros told Murrin that Jones, mino host of tho Railroad Hotel, owed him a little moro than what the bill amountod to. Ho would toll Jones to make it right with him. Of courso Murrin know that Jones was good for tho amount, and with a "That's all right, what'lt you havo 1" tho suh joct was dropped. That evoning Smith told Jones to look ovor his books and sco how much ho had sot down opposite his namo. This done, Smith said that Murrin owed him a few hundred on a stock deal would he just as lieve collect tho amount duo him "That's all right," saidTones, "Murrin's good for any amount." Well, tha day of parting came, and, of course, all the boys gathered at tho depot, which was really tho Railroad Hotel, to bid the law makers goodby.

Smith was thoro, ond catching hold of Murrin'B arm, he said pleasantly "Wo might just aa well go in) now and fix that matter up with Jones, ch 7" "Oh, that's all right," Baid Murrin. "Well, but I want it understood, you know." "Como and Smith hauled Murrin through the crowd of worshipers who thronged about tho shriuo of Bacchus to where Jones stood. You romomber that matter I spoko to you about tho other day whon I referred you to Murrin hero, eh 7" asked Smith. Oh, yes," said Jones, That's all right." And you," said Smith, turning to Murrin, "you understand it, don't you Certainly," answered Murrin that's all right." Well, I'm glad it's fixed. Lot's take something." Thoy bowed their heads as tho presiding doacon passed the fluid.

Then the conductor shouted, All aboard" and everybody mado a rush for the cars. As the train left tho dopot Smith stood on tho rear platform a waving a aollod napkin at his rionds. Murrin and Jones walked into the barroom together, and, lighting a cignr, began a conversation which lasted a full hour. Finally it began to drag, and at last Jones said "I suppose that litilo matter of Smith's can bo fixed up any No hurry no hurry, my boy," repliod Murrin. That'B all right." Jones looked up inquiringly, but said nothing.

Thoy talked stock for fifteen minutes, and thon Murrin abruptly remarked: "Good fellow, that Smith." "Yes; jolly good boy. Funny ho didn't have tho oaah to settle his bills when ho left. Must havo had a rustle with King Pharaoh." "But tho arrangement mado was satisfactory?" "Oh, yea that's ail right. What'll you take 7" After they had touched glasscB ovor the walnut lab and threw their heads back to inspect tho frescoes on tho coiling, Murrin turned to leave, saying, as he put his handkerchief back in his pocket "Just send tho check for tho amount of Smith's bill up to tho houso any time. No hurry, my boy no hurry." "Eh 7" almoBt shouted Jones.

"Why, you understand you owe Smith, and ho owes mo you agreed to pay me instead of him." "Agreed 1 Why, Colonel, tho mau owos mo, and you agreed to pay it. Didn't you say it was all right "And didn't yob say you'd pay mo that it was all right 7" A Hood of light began to pour in on tho subject, illuminating their craniums aa a candle lights up the interior of a hailoiveBii pumpkin. Jonos handed out tho same bottle once again, and tho only sound heard for several seconds was that of some liquid coursing its way along a narrow and tortuous channel. GHOSTLT THIEVES. San Francisco Chronicle.

Genuine haunted houses, with genuine spirits as their inhabitants, havo bocomo of lato yoars rather rare in this city, but ono of those abodo3 of ghostly apparitions haa been recently attracting tho attention of persons residing in tho vicinity of Riucon Hill. Tho three story bay window houso on Silver street, nearly opposito tho Silver strcot Primary School, occupied by a gentleman named Roberts and his family, is tho building in question. For two or three yoars the placo hns borne the reputation of boing haunted. Mr. Roborts, on first renting the premises from his landlord, was notawaro of this fact, but on moving in during the month of October, 1 882, soon made tho acquaintance of the spirits.

Noither he nor any of hiB family had hitherto believed in spiritual hocus poena of any kind, but tho manifestations becoming so frequent and alarming, ho was forced to draw conclusions to that ond, as nothing of a tangible earthly nature which he could hold responsible could bo discovered by him or the force of amateur detectives into which tho whole neighborhood has resolved itsolf. For a while tho ghostly visitants did nothing that was particularly distressing to tho nerves of tho newcomers, the only phenomena beinj; the opening doorK by unseon hands, the suddou and unaccountable extinguishing of lighta in a room, the mysterious movements of picture frames and other ornaments and loud knocking on walls and other iiDises at various tiinea of the day and night, but this did not disturb tho equanimity or happiness of tho household to an alarming degree, and evon a moro striking manifestation than all those the playing of "Shall Wo Gather at the River?" on tho piano at midnight was borne uncomplainingly. But when smMl articles, such as work baskets and their conteuts, sewing machine fixtures, sheet music, toilet articles, books, knives and forks, spoons, a cologne bottle, a box of pilla, and even small pieces of furniture, became miBs ing with provoking regularity, in spito of tho strictest vigilance on tho part of the people dwelling in the house, it began to look rather discouraging. At any rate it was thought timo to do somothing in the promisea. The, police were called in, but without avail, as tho articles went their way in tho atillness of night as if possessed of legs or wings, and the noises and other manifestations became more violent than ever.

As a last resort a spirit medium was brought in, who convorsed with one of tho unseen invaders. It claimed to bo an "unrecognized and troubled spirit," seeking rest and finding it not. Tho "recognition" sought would not appear to bo of a very high order, probably a police court notoriety. The medium mads tho intruder promiso to vacate the premises, which it did for several months and up to last night, when it or some thing or somebody, fully as mysterious, entered the bouwo, took a fine set of jewelry from a bureau drawer, secured some silk handkerchiefa, a watch and chain, and a lot ol small but valuable articles. The houso was generally ransacked and everything portable that could be carried away by one or two persons at ono time was noiselessly removed.

The ghOBtly thieves have not yet been captured. A RED GIANTS TOMB. An Ethnologist juakeH a Valuablo Discovery in the Kanawha Country. Charleston CalLJ Professor Norris, the ethnologist, who haa been examining the mounds in this section of West Virginia for several months, tho other day opened tho big mound on Colonel B. A.

Smith's farm, six or oight miles below here. This is the largest mound in tho valley and proved a rich storehouse. Tho mound iB fifty feet high and they dug down to the bottom. It was evidently tho burial placo of a noted chiof, whohad been interred with unusual honors. At the bottom they found the bones of a human beiug measuring seven feet in length and nineteen inches across tho shoulders.

Ho was lying flat, and at either side, lying at an angio of about forty five degrees, with their feet pointed toward their chiof, were other men on on side two and on the other three. At the head of tho chief lay another man with bis hands extended before him and bearing two bracelets of copper. On each side of tho chief's wrists were six copper bracelets, while a looking glass of mica lay at his slion'ilor and a gorget of copper rested on hie breast. Four copper bracelets were under his head with an arrow in ttio center. A house twelve feet in diameter and ton feot high, with a ridge pole one foot in diametor, had been erected over them and the whole covered by tho dirt that formed the mound.

Each of the men buried there had been Inclosed In a bark coffin. Thomas Adams, and Mrs. S. D. Gauolt, No.
