--an honor in our war which such leaders as Albert Sydney Johnson, Lee, Johnston, Beauregard and Jackson must share with a Cooper. It is the astute, clear, calm and penetrating minds of Shamhorst and Cooper, whose judgment and masterly ability quietly plan, arrange and direct the machinery which is to be put in motion by the brilliant army chieftains, such as I have mentioned, that wins success. General Samuel Cooper possessed an inheritable right to his enviable eminence. From Dorsetshire, England, his great grandfather came, and settled in Massachusetts. This paternal ancestor had three sons — John, the grandfather of General Cooper, Samuel and William. Samuel was President of Harvard University during the Revolutionary War, and was proscribed by General Gage of the British army, and a reward offered for his head. The son of John, also called Samuel, was the father of General Cooper. At eighteen years old, we find him at Lexington, forming one of seventy men that assembled

Shaftesbury, Earl of (Anthony Ashley Cooper) 1621- Statesman; born in Wimborne, Dorsetshire, England, July 22, 1621; represented Tewkesbury in the Short Parliament in 1640; first supported Charles I. in the civil war, but in 1644 joined the Parliament troops, acted with vigor, served in Cromwell's Parliaments, and was one of the councillors of state. He retired in 1654, and in Parliament was a leader of the opposition to Cromwell's measures. Active in the overthrow of the Second Protectorate, he was one of the commissioners who went to Breda to invite Charles II. to come to England. The grateful King made him governor of the Isle of Wight, chancellor of the exchequer, and one of the privy council. In 1661 he was created Baron Ashley, and was one of the commission for the trial of the regicides, whom he zealously prosecuted. Charles had granted to him and several other favorites the vast domain of Carolina (1663), and he was employed with Locke in framing a scheme of govern

hich they are cracked through their whole substance. After being quenched they are ground, with water, in mills resembling the arrastra. The mill is a hollow cylinder of wooden staves bound with hoops, and having a bottom of blocks of chert; the mill-shaft is perpendicular and has two horizontal arms, between which are laid loose blocks of chert, which are moved round on the bed-stone as the arms revolve, and thus grind the flint with water to the consistence of cream. The clay, from Dorsetshire and Devonshire, is mixed with water, and in this state, as well as the flint, is passed through fine sieves to separate the grosser particles. The flint and clay are now mixed by measure, and the mud or cream is passed again through a sieve, in order to render the mixture more complete. In this state it is called slip, is then evaporated to a proper consistence in long brick troughs, and tempered in the pug-mill. Cups, pots, basins, and other round articles are turned rough on the ho

He refused offers to devote his talents to the national establishment of Sevres, preferring to maintain his independence and devote himself to a life of experiments and labor at his humble home in Tours. The materials chiefly used in the North Staffordshire potteries are a light brown clay from Poole in Dorsetshire, and white clay from Cornwall, to which pulverized flint or granite is frequently added. The clays are derived from decomposed granite, and are prepared by mixing them in a plunger containing a large wheel, by which they are, with the addition of water, converted into a mass of the consistency of cream. This is run off into small reservoirs. termed arks, whence it is pumped up and passed through a series of sieves, by which it is reduced to slip. This is forced, under a pressure of 80
