From the Chicago Democratic Press. The New Building Material, or Artificial Granite Blocks. About tm years since, the attention of vour readers was directed to the claims and mcrhs of a new building material, invented by Ambrose Foster, of Wisconsin, and said to combine mos: of the essential quali ies of all oilier known building materials, with great savin' in cost of manufacture, and ease in acquiring the necessary elements, and facility in construction. This, like everv other invention when

first put forth to the world, has been bro't j to the ordeal of public opinion aroused i the opposition of clashing interests, and called forth diversified scientific opinions. I In noni of these encounters, wo bclL-vc. 1,. tb' rlaims of the "new material" ; ccmiMli- nrWted. Possessintr in-

finsio merit, it has steadily increased its j mark that it would not permit no such duivputation and established iW-lf as one of-ties tobe paid by American vessels passthemost useful inventions of the age. ing the Sound af.er that day.

' If rtiiihlinors. few are hazard-! nAitfrli to leave it for a new and un tried article, however reasonable or superior may be its pretensions. Scientific experiments, learned arguments, public doubts, could not dissolve nor crumble a single block of the "new material.' whilst v.- fr.-,cts ti a single winter, the rains and sunshine of a single summer might crumble a whole edifice composed of these b'.ocks. . Several buildings composed of this material were constructed in various pi.rts of Wisconsin during the year , 1 Co 1-5, and have consequently passed through the seasons, tin effects of which upon the blocks can be easily determined, lucent examinations show that the blocks, as was b f,re chime .1, have grown much harder, acquired a lapid and deep soli. lily, without the Vast din.i lution in size, and without the least check or flaw or tendency to crumble. The effect of the weather has been to render them in every respect bet ter. Further examination proves the decided advantage of the dead -air chamber, by rendering the wall impeivious to the frost of winter or the heat of summer, thus hecuring what of all things is most to be desired in buildings neither excessive beat nor cold, but such a temperature as c.vilv kept in that dry, comfortable state, to insure comfjrt and good health. From the evidence before us, we are romoclled to the belief that the "new ma . .. . ' 1. 1 f.lgll.wl r 1 t-n ii is a inumpu, juki iuis uum.-u, m every particular, more

destructible hardness. These blocks take t'teir color from the sand used in the composition, hence they can be made of almost marble whitness, or of various colors to suit the f.mcy. the buildinir season 13 cloi at hand, and we are infrmed several of j our citizens are making arrangements for j buildin" this summer, we suggest to them i the propriety of looking into this matter, and makin""such investigations as the rerwriiTiltv r,f the invention demands. If this plan U superior, or even equal to that of any other, and at a saving of fify per cent, it will amply compensate for the trouble. A Builder. The Commercial Convention. This Convention yesterday was attended by three or four hundred delegates from various sections of the State. We have never before seen in Indianapolis a more respectable looking and intelligent assemblage. ' Composed as it was, of the principle business men of Indiana, it could not have been otherwise. The d-'legates were all fired wkh the right spirit. The aggressi ns cf Cincinnali, it was declared, had become insupportable and the determination of-the Convention to withdraw, as far as p ssible the Indiana trade from Cincinnati, met a cordial and hearty response from every Indianian present. Cincinnati men, and the Cincinnati press have mistaken the feeling of prejudice agaiast the unjust course that city has pursued towards the business f.Dur Stale, entertained by every business man in the Staus. The action of the Convention shoM not be mistaken for an idle ebulition of epleen. It is the bold and fearless expression of the feelings entertained by our business men a system of reliatory pro tection forced upon them in self-defe.ice. We wereplensed U witness the act of

rourtesy extended by the Convention to 'formed Admiral Johnson mat mio n.wicnIhe Merchants and Hankers of Louisville, j non and other war munitions for Russian Cleveland. Toledo, and other chies. j uee, on board. This was denied, and after

The Louisville delegation was composed of some of the oldest and most reliable and substantial merchants inthe West tlw chivalric and honorable men of Kentucky. Thy BatUfied the Convention that they would do justice to the Indiana mer chant. They would sell him goods as

li. They would receive all Indiana money at par in payment of bills; would guarantee the circulation of the monej , pledging themselves that i: should not be returned for coin to the Banks by the Bro-U-rs lu a ward, "they wo.ild do as they would be done by." We congratulate our Louisville fiiends upon the favorable impression they have made upon the business men of Indiana. We shall write more at length upon the Convention hereafier. State Sentinel.

The Danish Sound Does Present State of the Question, The treaty between the United Stales and Denmark, which regulars the duties to be levied at , Elsinore, expiies on the 14th of the present month. Our Government, some months a uro. iravt notice to that of Dentermined to maintain its asserted rights b poet of the case, the London 1 fines ot the 17th ult. learns with no small satisfaction, from Washington that our Government has ; determined to prolong theobligations'of the I treatv just about to expire, för a further! . " e A ,i. .1 1 4 ,;i i term oi io mourns iu.n is u y umwj the Mth day of June on the express understanding that something will bo done! toward the abolition of the Sound dues. The moderation of our Government is commended, and the hope expressed that the j whole question with respect to all ths nations interested may now be settled. Denmark, on her part, proposes to capitalize the Sound dues for a sum amounting to 35,000,000 rix dollars. Her annual income under the old system has amounted to 2,300,000 rix dollars, and bv he plan proposed she will lose 1,000,000 annually. The anual payments of our vessels have hitherto amounted to not far from 2J.000 annually, and these will bo diminished in like proportion. It is conceded on all hands that Denmark has a rightful claim to a portion of her demands, and it is not unlikely that our ijovernrnent win consent to seme the; dispute on the basis proposed. Chicago Press. H. A. Wise Insane. It is said and believed in Richmond, by persons who have the very liest opportunity of knowing, that Gov.

Oil last Saturday, a su of David Huckleberry, of Craig Township, Switzerland County Ind, in crossing a field where was inclosed a vicious horse, was attacked by the animal, who with his teeth tore him and with his feet stamped him until life was extinct. The mother of the boy saw the transaction and was so much excited that she swooned and was carried into the house iu a helpless condition, where she remained until death relieved her in a few hours. The boy was rescued, but not until he was hopelessly injured by the numerous severe bruises he had received. New York, March 31.

The circulation of the Weekly D.iy Book ha quadrupled within a year, which is s.yiii more than any other periodical can do in this codiitry.
