BLUE GLASS, 
General Pleasonton is a benefactor to his 
race. The blue glass sun bath is a great suc¬ 
cess. 
Blue glass cures every ailing ; it will take ordi¬ 
nary panes out of window sash, and remove any 
sort of pain from the human body. For instance: 
—A young man, residing in the eastern part of 
the city, who had a fearful impediment of speech, 
with an intermission of five minutes between 
every two words uttered, was cured in eight min¬ 
utes. When it was first proposed to him he 
said, “ B-b-b-bluc g-g-g-gl-gl-gl-asB b-b-b-bo b- 
bl-bl-bl— owed !’’ but in less than ten minutes he 
articulated whole sentences without a Btammer. 
A left-handed girl from the Eighth Ward, after 
using the blue glass sixteen minutes, found that 
she could use one haud as well as the other—and 
better too. 
A cross-eyed boy was brought in contact with 
the blue glass yesterday for ten minutes, at the 
expiration of which the twist was entirely re¬ 
moved from both eyes. 
Another boy with a wart on the end of his nose 
was subjected to the blue glass bath, and at the 
end of twenty minuteH the, wart had entirely 
disappeared. P. H.- So had the boy. 
A young woman with enlarged feet was in¬ 
duced to have a blue glasB window pane, 10x12, 
inserted in the uppers of each of her shoes, and 
in forty-eight hours she was enabled to wear a 
number nine shoe with perfect ease. 
A man with “ inverted nails ” (tenpeunies) put 
his feet under the glass for twenty minutes, 
when the ingrowing nails curled up on his toes, 
to his great joy, which he manifested by calling 
in his better half, with the enthusiastic exclama¬ 
tion, 1 e will taker, Maria Jane ; jest look at that! 
Whoop! blue glass forever!” 
A painter fell from the fourth story of a build¬ 
ing to ttie pavement below, during an alarm of 
fire, and a steam lire engine which was passing, 
ran over him. He was removed to a room in the 
vicinity and placed before the blue glass, which 
appeared to quiet him, as he made no complaint 
of pain afterwards, and though ho subsequently 
died, it is not believed to have been owing to any 
defect in the glass, but from an attack of malig¬ 
nant dyspepsia, superinduced by the violent ex¬ 
orcise he had taken. 
The only instance of a failure of the blue glass 
cure, which has come under my observation, oc¬ 
curred yesterday. A man who said he hail been 
lame for some time, and walked with a cane, was 
placed in-a blue glass sun-bath, and loft to him¬ 
self in the room for an hour, at the expiration 
of which lie was found by an attendance fast 
asleep, and with one leg of his pantaloons rolle*d 
up—the leg was a wooden one, and the patient 
stumped off muttering that he “knew it was a 
blasted humbug all the time.” 
There is no doubt of the success of blue glass; 
our houses, ohurobes, and other buildings must 
put it in. or must men wear it in spectacles, and 
eye glass and even glass eyes villtioon bo made 
of it, and, ere long General Pleasanton will havff 
all be can do to set blue glass in sashes formerly 
containing common window glass .—Smilax in

Tue editor of a St. 1 -otiis paper pulls up the 
waistband of his trousers after breakfast, and 
says, *'The wheat-belt is shifting.” 
A Western editor, who thinks the wages de¬ 
manded bv compositors an imposition, lias dis¬ 
charged his hands, and intends doing his own 
type setting in future. He says:— “owLnG To

A Charleston girl wagered a young man a 
kiss that Tilden would be elected—be to pay if 
Tilden won, and she to pay if Hayes won. The 
News describes the result: " Ou the morning of 
the Sth of November he called and paid the debt 
oil the 9th he called and took it back. That 
evening she paid the debt. Next morning she 
took it back and be paid; then she paid and he 
paid, and so they have been kept busy by the 
contradictory despatches ever since, and both 
now T express regret that the matter has been so 
soon decided.
