THE PITTSBURGH RIOT. 11 \ Description ( Fight Between the Soldiers from Philadelphia and the .Mob m Told by One of the Former. A member of the First regiment of Philadelphia, sent to Pittsburgh to , quell the disturbance there, gave the following thrilling description of the riot , that followed the arrival of the regiment to a ^iew lork Herald reporter : When we arrived at Pittsburgh we ] were all in good spirits, and responded , with alacrity to the command to move j, out to Twenty-eighth street, where the strikers had gathered in force. When ! we arrived here, General Brit ton, com- ; manding, formed us front and rear on the outside of a network of track at this ' point and stationed the Keystone battery, ; with its Gatling guns, in a little flat plot . on the hillside, elevation perhaps ten ; wounded by a bayqpet thrust. 1 he crowd now began pelting us with stones, and some of our men were hurt nfore or ess. This was the match that fired the train, % and, goaded to frenzy, either through . fear of violence from the crowd or stung ( to desperation by being hit with mis- , siles, we fired, and fire we did. Some , say there was no order given to fire, but one of the guns in the hands of a member of Company A went off, and others, mistaking this for an order to fire, level- , ed their pieces and discharged them. , This may be, but I heard distinctly the , order to fire, and did not discharge my piece until such an order was given. The firing was sudden and unexpected and seemed to come upon the vast crowd like a stroke of lightning, and it was . scarcely realized until here and there a man was seen to fall. Along the brow of the hill ran a deep ditch, into which those who had enough presence of mind cast themselves. After the first shot the troops fired in every direction. The first volley swept over the hilleide and was delivered by those troops nearest ' the hill. The second side of the square 1 was along the track, and the others, so far as couid be ascertained, wheeled and fired down T venty-eighth street. Before dark, when the dead and wound- i ed had been carried off and the crowd J got over the fright and commenced to gather again in great numbers, we were ordered into the round house, as affording us shelter for the night and better protection from the stray shots heard every now and then. "With the approach of nightfall we got huugry and tired, but were consoled in a measure by the announcement that supper had been ordered and would arrive in a brief time. At dusk, peeping out of the windows of the round house, we saw the wagons carrying our rations captured by the crowd; dishes and their contents hurled into the street, while the crowd cheered like, demons. As the crowd in the streets was agumented with the approach of night, all thoughts of sleep were given over and guards stationed at the windows of the round house and also placed at each of the gates leading into the yards. They were out of the reach of the crowd and had instructions to fire upon persons j who attempted to enter. At midnight the crowd outside, as we could observe from the windows, had grown into many thousands, and shots were fired at us from out of the yards of ; the company in close proximity to the round house. We replied to them, with what effect we were unable to ascertain. When the fire was started in the box cars WA TTAWV aoinnno1 TT alorma/1 flnmo WC uuvauic tr-ij DVIivuoij mwimvui K/VA**V few men T have heard 'made their way j out of their quarters in citizen's clothes and escaped from their perilous position. We could see long lines of cars, one after the other burning, but dared not expose ourselves to the guns of the mob. The fire slowly but surely crept down on us, and abr?ut this time the crowd captured one of the guns belonging to Hutchison's battery, of Pittsburgh, and attempted to get it into position to fire upon us. It was heavily loaded, we knew, and if it was fired in close proximity to us it must have done heavy damage. However, we prevented them from putting it in position, as we covered it well, and were in quarters where we could pick off the men without much injury to ourselves. The number of times th0 freight cars ran between us and the gun shielded the strikers from our shots, but they finally gave the matter iii? and "hauled the gun away. All , this time the situation was becoming . more and more serious. T lie fire was creeping down upon us with the certainty of driving us out sooner or later. The crowd, too, was growing more dense and bold, and threats of violence should we come out were distinctly heard. Away 1 up the truck ii\ the yard where the cars j were burning we could see men pillagiug, while their old rusty arms were mingled with bright barrels which flashed iu the glare of destructior. Suddenly down the grade came oue rs?? unotheri ?otne Jj?aet? with oil ieet a Dove tne level ot tne tracks. At this moment the crowd began to scatter, . ] not in retreat, but apparently to make room forth? military. As we rested on our arms the silence j of the great crowd was broken and a ! storm of hisses, yells and cheers greeted j' ns. Then a platoon of our regiment was j ordered to clear the crowd front the head !] of Twenty-eighth street, which was!, blockading the tracks of the railroad. 1 The sheriff and his deputies mingled with the troops and endeavored to make himself heard, urging the crowd to fall back and retire to their homes. He could i | not make himself heard, owing to the confusion and the cries and the yells of the people. The platoons of soldiers j' pushed into the crowd, surging them back until the order *' halt!" was given. ; At this time the hillside was literally ! Covered with men, women and children^ j mostly spectators. I judged, who were in a manner penned up. All this time the cries and yells of the crowd grew | louder and fiercer and the military made preparations to form a hollow square on a platform of tracks, as near the Twentyeightn street crossing as possible, with two Galting guns in the center. The Pittsburgh troops and the Fourteenth j regiment, I believe, were drawn up in line, but remained passive. After some manuvering, rendered : difficult by the jostling of the crowd, three sides of a square were formed by our two regiments?First and Second? ] numbering from four to five hundred : men. One side of the square faced the hill, one faced to the east and the troops ( on the other side stood with their backs to Twenty-eighth street and also faced , the hill. The crowd was slow in clear- ( ing a space for the east side of the ( square, and the soldiers began to force 3 them back. This occasioned some scuffling, several of the men taking hold ] of the muskets and saying: " You would < not shoot working men, would you?" j while those on the outskirts continued to ] hoot and yell. About this moment the , Grays were ordered to charge on the ] crowd which was impeding them. This was done amid the most intense confusion , and excitement; but the troops pushed ( back the throng and retired. The First regiment, when the crowd began again to press the men, was or- I dered to charge, which they did with ( fixed bayonets, and in this charge one of . the strikers is reported to have been r which was on tire ur.d burning fiercely. These cars were sent down in order that they might ign U i e wooden work of the round hou?e and the company's lumber y ard. They were heavily ladened with combustible material, and when the box cars took Ave they bursted and scattered the contents in every direction, dealing out disaster with lavish hand. The machine shop, between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets, then caught fire and soon our building was surrounded with a wall of fire. The heat was so in' 11 ? ? n A X* t rense luf.t we were ODiigeu 10 retire irom the windows and gathered in the center of the building. Many of us would have run out, but the danger outside from the violence of the crowd was as much feared , as the fire element, which was fast ap-t proachirg us. At dawn of day a consultation of officers was held, which was ; prolonged for some time. It was then decided we must go out and face the i angry devils who made the streets in the neighborhood black with their presence. It was better to rap the risk of being shot down than burned to death, and so we filed out in a compact body, and, preceded by the Gatling guns, with Major- [ Gen. Britton, Brigadier-Gen. Matthews and Land at the head. It was. lively times, I tell you, reaching the United States arsenal, where we thought we would be protected. The sentries here refused to allow us to enter, and the command held a conference with our officers. A number of us scaled the walls and took refuge from the mob behind the shrubbery and piles of shells ar?.l nannnn Wo vomilinorl tioro TITlt.il the rest of the party formed in line and marched up the street. I thought we should be all cut to pieces, and having no relish for this sort of death I embraced the readiest means to escape , from it. I never saw such a wicked, desperate mob in all my life. How any of us escaped with our lives is. a mystery. I hod given up all hopes of seeing home again. If the crowd could have got arms I am sure not one of us would have come out of the round house a ive. Why Old People Remember Things. The extraordinary persistence of early impressions, when the mind seems al-. most to have ceased to register new ones, is in remarkable accordance with the law of nutrition. It is a physiological fact that decline essentially consists in tBe diminution of the formative activity | of the organism. Now it is when the brain is growing that a definite direction ; can be most strongly and persistently : given to its structnre. Thus the habits ; of thought come to be formed, and those aerve tracks laid down which (as the physiologist believes) constitute the mechanism of associaiion, by the time ; the brain has reached its maturity ; and the nutrition of the organ continues to ! keep up the same mechanism in accordance with the demands of its activity so long as it is being called into use. Further, during the entire period of vigorous manhood, the brain, like mus- ' cles, may be taking on some additional !' growth, either as a whole or in special parts, new tissue being developed and kept up by the nutritive process, in ac- ? cordance with the modes of action to which the organ is trained. And in this manner a store of "impressions" or traces is sccumulated wnich may be i brought within the sphere of consciousness whenever the right suggesting strings are touched. But as the nutri- j tive activity dimishes, the " waste " be- i ivnnpR more active than the renovation : find it would Seem that while (to use a commercial analogy) the "old-established horses " keep their ground, these later Arms whose basis is less secure are the first to crumble away?the nutritive activity, which yet suffices to maintain the original structure not being capable of keeping the subsequent additions to it in working order. This earlier degeneration of later formed structures is a general fact perfectly familiar to the physiologist. The Sea Serpent. The London Graphic contains a sketch by Lieutenant W. P. Haynes, of Ler majesty's ship Osborne, of the sea ; monster seen by the officers and crew of that vessel off the north coast of Sicily I on the second of June. In a letter accompanying the sketch he says: My attention was first called by seeing a long row of fins appearing above the surface of the water at a distance of about two hundred yards from the ship, and "away on our beam." They were of irregular heights, and extending about thirty or forty feet in line (the former number is the length I gave, the latter the other officers); in a few seconds they disappeared, giving place to the fore part of the monster. By this time it had i passed astern, swimming in an opposite direction to that we were steering, and as we were passing through the water at ten and a half knots, I could only get a view of it "end on," which I have shown in the sketch. The head was bullet-shaped, and quite six feet thick, the neck narrow, and its head was occasionally thrown back out of the water, remaining there for a few minutes at a time. It was very broad across the back or shoulders, about fif- | teen or twenty feet, and the flappers seemed to have a semi-revolving motion, which seemed to paddle the monster along. They were about fifteeu feet in length. From the top of the head to the i part of the back where it became immersed I should consider about fifty feet, and that seemed about a third of the whole length. All this part was smooth, resembling a seal. I cannot account for the fins unless they were on the back j below where it was immersed. Little Thoughts and Big Phrases. Simple and unpretending ignorance i6 always respectable, and sometimes charming; but there is little that more deserves j contempt than the pretense of ignorance i to knowledge. The curse and the peril of the language in tins uay, ana particularly in this country, is that it is at the m( :cy of men who, instead of being content to use it well according to their honest ignorance, use it ill according to their affected knowledge; who, being vulgar, would seem elegant; who, being empty, would seem full; who make up in pretense what they lack in reality; and whose little thoughts, let off in enormous phrases, sound like fire-crackers in an empty barrel.?Richard Grant White. As Unsaintly "Saint."?A three-ply polygamist, living a few miles south ol Salt Lake City, who desired a fourth, boldly declared his iuteutiou to a young widow residing there, and pleaded for her hand, but was refused. As his own pleadings had availed him nothing, he forthwith dispatched his No. 2 to do his courting and carry out his design. Entreaties 011 one side met rebuttal on the other, when at last the young widowasked if she (No. 21 did not act against her own will, and to her own detriment, when the last mentioned answered : " 1 do not wish Mr. to take any more wives, but I so detest and bate the very sight of his No. 3 that I would do anything Id my power k* thwart her hapjticws." PAPER. i ltd Origin and by Whom First r?rd~Matf , rial Out of Wbirb Paper in 3'nde, nn?l Other Intt-renlitiK Information C'oncerniUK It. If we attempt to trace the history of i paper back to its origin, we are carried , to times .very remote, when the Egyptians prepared a plant, called the papyrus, on which to record their sacred in- j senptions, and from whit h we derive the present name for writing material. Simultaneously with papyrus the ancients undoubtedly made use of the skins of | animals in the fonn of parchment, and also had recourse to wood and 6tone, for the preservation of their records, it cannot be ascertained with certainty when the art of making paper from fibers was first discovered, but to the Chinese is usually ascribed the honor, as they very early learned how to convert the inner bark of the mulberry, bamboo and rags into a web or felt suitable for writing; and it is in China at the present day that the manufacture has reached its highest perfection, and where it is used for clothing, handkerchiefs, napkins, twine, furniture and numerous other purposes. The Chinese consider paper so indispensable that they usually secure a certain quantity to their wives in the marriage contract. The Arabs acquired the art from the Chinese, and by them it was brought to Spain, from whence it rapidly spread over the other countries of Europe. Cotton paper, well authenticated, has come down to us from the tenth century; but linen paper cannot be traced further back than the thirteenth century, after which date it rapidly rose to the first rank, and was extensively manufactured from rags. At the present time paper is made from an infinite number of materials -which are nearly all of vegetable oi\gin?such as flax, hemp, cotton, wood, straw, esparto, manilla, jute, cane, etc.; and the art of paper-making consists is the reduction of all these materials into their primitive fibers, and forming them into felted sheets. Nearly every variety of vegetable fiber has been tried in the manufacture of paper?roots, leaves, stems, bark, cabbage, potatoes, beets, vines, but in practice these have not been found of much value. On the other hand, straw, wood, corn-stalks, rice-straw and esparto-grass have been successively introduced in various countries. In Austria the husks of corn are not only made into paper, but into clothing, and a good article of food for cattle is also produced from them. Paper clothing is also made in China and Japan, where a good coat can be had for ten cents, and a suit of clothing for a quarter of a dollar. In Germany paper napkins are introduced; the cost of them is a trifle, aud they can, after having been once used, be thrown into the common stock. to be worked over again. The fact that cottou and linen are really the same thing, chemically speaking, as paper, may take away from the prejudice tnat some persons entertain in reference to the use of paper collars, cuffs and clothing. Munsell's work on paper-making says that in 1867 .the following substances were in actual employment: Manilla hemp, agave of Cuba, cultivated hemp, white hemp of Hayti, India hemp, acacia, fibers .of aloes, jute, Spanish broom, hops, silk-weed, flax, Chinese hemp, mallow, mulberry, Chinese nettle. New Zealand flax, esparto-grass, linden, yucca, bamboo and cane. To the above list must be added the ramie plant, wild aud cultivated rice, potato pomace, the bark of coniferous trees from which the resin has been extracted, stalks aud fibers of cord grass and okra ; in fact, more than sixty different kinds of fiber have been experimented upon in the search for new material, and it cannot be denied that the result of all these trials has been favorable to the paper industry by adding permanently to the supply of stock upon which to draw in emergency and for special kinds of goods. The manufacture of paper from rags is the most important branch of the business, and the one in which the largest amount of capital has been expended and the greatest improvements attained. The first operation is in the purchasing, sorting, cutting and dusting of the rags. In the purchase of rags the mill-owner has to encounter the same attempt to cheat that seems to obtain in every line of business. Bales are made up looking well outside, but in the interior inferior articles are put, and the rags are moistened or loaded with sand to increase the weight. The dealer soon becomes expert, and can tell from what country the rags came, by their color, strength and general character. Some nations wear more linen, others more cotton, some fine, some coarse. City rags are apt to be white, country rags yellow or dark-colored. All of these points have to be considered before making the purchase. Out of dirty and apparently unreachable tarred ropes is produced a tissue -1 A I, ~ KannSfnl fahrip r>f paper ui mc uiuau ucuumui !> >.?, ? even surface and delicacy of color, a ream of which weighs, with wrappers and strings, two and a half pounds. It is principally used in the potteries for transferring .the various patterns to the earthenware, and is found superior to any substance yet known for that purpose. It is so tenacious, that a sheet of it twisted by the hand in the form of a rope, will support upward of one liuudred pounds' weight. Corn husks have been successfully employed in Germany. The husks are first boiled with an alkali in tubular boilers, which converts them into a spongy condition filled with gelatinous substance or dough, which latter is pressed out from the libers in the shape of longitudinal threads, interspersed with a dense mass of short fiber. The long fibers are used for spinning, and yield a cloth suitable for clothing. The short fibers are used for paper, which is stronger that that made from linen or cotton rags. It is very durable, and can be made extremely transparent without sacrificing any portion of its strength. Dr. Rudal calculates that the quantity of paper produced in the whole world?paper of all kinds, of hemp, of linen, of straw, of jute, of rice, of wood, etc.?amounts to 1,800,000,000 pounds. Malt ot tnis quantity is euipiujcu iu. printing purposes, a sixth for -writing purposes, and the remainder for miscellaneous uses. The whole may be thus categorized : For government purposes, 200,600,000 pounds are required; for instruction, 180,000,000 ; for commerce, 240,000,000; for industrial manufacture, 180,000,000; for private correspondence, 100,000,000; and for printing. 900,000,000. For the production of all this paper there are 3,960 manufactories, employing 90,000 men and 180,000 women; while 100,000 persons are engaged in collecting rags. The number of paper< mills in the United States at the present time, according to Lockwood's Directory, is 934, and the number of firms 795. Of ' these 254 firms and 327 mills are in the Eastern States; 328 firms and 360 mills iu the Middle States; 155 firms and 179 mills in the Western States ; and fifty-eight firms and sixty-eight mills | in the Southern States.

Cast Out. The Philadelphia North American; ' says: Here are faint photographs of ! i some of these men as seen along the line 1 of the Boston and Albany railroad, whose , hearts might have' been reached if the winding stairs had been climbed by love, patience and kindness. 'Tis nightI fall; along the railroad track, near a | small stream of water, fifteen to twenty j men are lying #n the ground without J any covering, asleep; old boots, shoes and dirty, hard stockings are scattered around, and several bare, blistered feet are visible; when aroused, they answer any questions willingly, and the tales narrated would freeze the life from j out young hearts, which language fails to portray. A man is seated on the top of ; a^flat rock. He has some pieces of what appears to be a letter in his hands. The I paper is rotten from age and from being j carried in his pocket. The almost illegi-, ble lines were written by a tender-heart- i ed mother, now dead, and the poor out- 1 cast is trying to read her last words to liira. He repeats the story of a mother's j I love?how, when he lay a boy in her lap, ; and her hand on his head, she told him of the boyhood of good men, and made ' : him promise, when he would become a I man, that he would remember her counsel and follow their example. But when he came to the great city he began to ! drink with reveling companions, and no ! , one ever gave him a kind word after- j ward; and the stricken wreck in agony ; of soul burst into tears, and refused to J be comforted or receive any aid. An-1 ! other has seen better days; he was once ! a happy husband and father. His wife i 1 went down to the grave uncomplaining, and soon a sweet, golden-haired little : girl lay at her side. He feels accused ?in one sense a murderer; he is fifty four years old and friendless. Rum has been his ruin. When found he was eating corn from an empty car, where some kernels had been left scattered on the : floor. Toe next in review is a man who : i had formerly bean employed in the i ; Freedman's bureau; he has a wife and i four children. He ha3 been to New i j York to obtain employment, has failed j | and is returning to his family in Maine. : He states that he had lived in Washing- | ; ton and had entertained Representatives j : and Senators at his home. He is a Freemason, well posted, and had been a member of Dr. Storrs' church, Brooklyn, N. Y. He is an object of pity. He i said he had washed his shirt on Sunday. He was furnished with a lunch, and he j purposed calling on Rev. Dr. Webb. A ' : man was found in a very weak condition; he had not strength enough to go into i i the woods, and asked for food; he had ! walked from Providence to Worcester j and thence to Boston, and did not seem I to care for life. The Boston and Albany ; railroad detective from whom these items j have been obtained has, from observation and long experience, an insight into ; the character of tliis class, and in the 300 whom he has interviewed in the past i few weeks he considers that the men : spoke truthfully, and in most cases would (rejoice in finding labor, many of them j having learned trades. ?? I j How to Place the Bed. Baron Reichenbacli, who has devoted ' many years of deep study to the art of : ; bedmaking, maintains that you must j not always be on your bed as it is made, ! ; under penalty of abridging your bfe by I ; a great number of years. If, says the ' j baron, a mere magnet exercises an influ-j ! ence on sensitive persons, the earth's j magnetism must certainly make itself I j felt on the nervous life of man. Hence 1 he dwells on the salutary effects of the inhabitants of the Northern hemisphere i lying with their heads to the north, and ; those of the Southern with their heads to j the south. For travelers with short ; memories we may put the rule in general i , terms: In whatever hemisphere you 1 1 may be, always sleep with your feet to i ' the equator, and let your body be " true i as a needle to the pole." In giving this | rule the baron has simply told us how to j live long; for the polar direction of the I body is, it appears, of the utmost iui. oortance for the proper circulation of ! the blood, and we have Baron Reichenbach's authority for slating that many disturbances in the human organisms have been cured by simply placing tne bolster at a different point ef the com| pass frmn that it had occupied before. ; Let sucli as have hitherto been in the j habit of sleeping with their heads where their feet ought to be, take to heart the i example of the late Br. Fischweiter, Magdeburg, who died recently at the age of 109 years, and always attributed ' his long life to his faithful observance of ; the ]a?le to pole position of sleeping. The most unhealthy position, we are told, i^ when the body lies due east and west. Some observers assure us that to sleep in such a postnre is tantamount to committing slow suicide, and that diseases are often aggravated by deviations from the polar posture. A Poet's Habits. The poet Longfellow's daily life is something like this, says the Boston J Herald : ''He lises early, takes a comI paratively light breakfast, and if the day ; is not rainy, sets out for a walk, which I takes up an hour or two, according to his | inclination. His gait is firm and hearty, ! and as he waits he holds himself perfectly upright. He does Dot ramble two mornings in the same direction, but | varies his route daily. Every day or two ! he calls on his printers, at the University i Press, and receives or returns proofs of : his works, if he has anything in type, which is mostly the case. He studies his 1i? if i? in nrint. Lit maiitjr wreiui^y uii-cx *w ? r t-le, if any, of his poetry, as published, is written on the spur of the moment. 4 The Divine Tragedy' is said to have been rewritten after it was nearly all in j type. During late years he has been in the habit of publishing his poems in the magazines, and, after having obtained a i sufficient number, adding a few new ones to them, and issuing them in book form. He brings his 4copy' to the office of the University Press, which is only half a mile or so from his owu residence, written in lead-pencil, in a small back hand, very much like the average newspaper man's style of handwriting, clear, ami mostly free from interlineations and erasures. His magazinejpoems are always revised and corrected, or at least altered more or less, before^,their publication in book form, so that the reader . rarely encounters one in exactly the same ! shape as in the periodioel."

The Srs continues to be the strenneoa advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and fraud in the administration of public affaire. It contends for the government of the people by the people and for the people, as opposed to government by frauds in the ballot-box and in the counting of votes, enforced by military violence. It endeavors ; to supply its readers?a body now r.ot far from a million of sonis?with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy account* of cm rent events, and employs far this purpose a numerous and carefully selected staff of reKrtcrs and correspondents. Its reports from Washingi, especially, are fall, accurate, and fearless; and it | doubtless continues to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by plundering tbe Treasury or by usurping what the law does not give them, while it endeavors to merit the confidence of the public by defending the rights of the people against the encroachments of unjustified power.
