| We are the staunch friends Of the Mechanics
they form the back bone and snews Of society. They
deserve 10 be encouraged, and they are encouraged
in their audable endeavors to release themselves from
the thraldom in which they have been kept for long
period by nefarious clique We will not here discuss
the existing differences between the Mechanics and
the American Institues--we will dissect that by and
by-but shall attend the Fair each day, and give
such notice of the manufactured articles and manu-
factories, as shall open the eyes of the manufactur-
ing classes TO their true interests.
We entered Nblo's on Saturday afternoon. Bus
! tie, hustle, hustle
Bubble, bubble,
Toll and trouble
Goods of every class and kind were coming in at the
great gate Stoves enough to roast the whole OF the
people of Gotham-has, caps, bsnnets Shoes ships,
sofas, scent, scale-beams pianos miniatures, chairs
tables tea-trays, glassware and other ware TO the
value Of several hundred thousand dollars.
Clarkson Crolius, Jun. joined US. "Coming events
cast their shadows before-you will have crowded
Fair, Mr. Crollus."
"Thc articles for quantity and quality will exceed
| any former exhibition in the city. Step this way ;
you see those beautiful artificial fowers--unrivalled
specimens Of the art--those three vases filled with
silver flowers and bouquet of rosesl"
"Very beautiful!''
"They are made by Miss Pinchbeck, of 269 Will
liam street. Call on her. The Herald is great ia
vorite with her. She will show you splendid col
lection Of owers-not artificial, but real flowers
the finest and most beautiful in the garden of Ma
ture-sixty sweet and lovely young girls-a perfect
bouquet-such other store in the city can show
and by their fair fingers are the whole of these
beautiful groups Of flowers made When all a. work
they form, themselves one Of the most beautiful
tural groups in the city"
"You seem fatgued with your walk, Mr.. Herald"
said the ingenius young John Ash, take seat in
my newly invented wheel recumbent chair"
We sat down in this most excellent contrvcnce-it
defes description you lean back-theback gradually
falls down--the seat slides forward-without any eff
fort you are stretched as bed ofdown your read
ing desk adjusts ITSELF you are wheeled round the
room, you fall insensibly to seep-you are mahoga-
netticalIy magnetsed. Buy the chair Hamhlin ! it is
like yourself unique Too great gem in its way to
sustain aught less than the author of Gems of
Genius" Price only 500.
Here is an editors chair, Mr.. Herald" continued
John Ash" 1t is of no use to you-but I'll warrant
that you put in it who hasu learned to read
and write, he will thereby obtain brighter ideas than
have appeared in the Wall street prints for very long
period. Ill sell it to editor for $50"
1t is an elegant and comfortable article, John Ashs
editors chair but good for any Of the loafers who
edit papers in Wall street, besides all debts paid, they
couldn't raise $50 to pay for it, Don't trust EN-

"Mr. Herald" said young MDonald, the scale
beam maker, "you weighing every one in the bal
ance-look at these scale beams"
These beams on inspection will not be found want
Jag. They are most accurate. One will turn with the
the fvehundredh part Of grain each scale contain
ing 500 grams.
Apropos of scale beam making-un,i within the
last 10 years. the manufacture Of scale beams in this
country was monopolized by old Johnny Edwards of
this city. He came OUT to this country from Wales
about the year 1900 and for fifteen years was the on
" scale beam manufacturer in the Staes AT the pre-
sent time there are 60. The iron and steel used
in scale beams chiefly impored-the brass is
manufactured here. Over one million of dollars is
employed in this country in manufacture of scale
beams.
Within the last few years the patent balances have
come into notice. and 1t is title than three years
since that Fairbanks invented the movable platform
scales, now universally used in the States, by which
he has realized fortune ofs3o00O0 in three years.
The scale beam business has felt the pressure as
severely as any. Houses that used to employ 20
men, now employ but s. Brown, of this city, Ia good
ellow) who manufactures all the heavy scale beams,
used to employ 40 or SO, now employs 4 RS.
Look at tina, handsome case of silver forks spoons
knives and ladies'.
They are German silver ware-that is, there is no
silver in them. The compound called German silver
consists in 100 parts-of copper, co. zinc, 90; nic-
KEEL, TO-
Mr.. Chandless, OF 6 Clarkson street, commenced
the manufacture of German silver in this city five
years ago. Previous to this none was imported; i,
was not heard Of generally. Now German silver
ware to the amount Of s25 900 imported annually
This article does tarnsh more than silver, and s
moro durable service that cost 500 in silver can
be made in this composition for $40 There are not
more than $4,000 invested in this business in the
United States of which Mr.. Chandless has furnished
$4,000. Within the last two years he has paid $1,000
for tools made in this city. manufactery has been
recently established at Hampton; the enc At Phila-
delpha has failed.
You get your clothes covered with dust-let us
