A correspondent Of the N. Y. Journal Of
Commerce says many of the poor widows and
seamstresses of that city fare worse than the
negroes Of the South. They lodge in desolate
garrets, and labor for about 90 cents a day.
while their employers often realize 500 per
cent. upon the work. Shirts he says are made
for 10 cents--- pants for l8 cents. &c. In re-
ply to this, the Journal says, the case Of these
females is much to be pitied yet il is unavoida-
BILE. SO long as the description of work to
which they turn their hands in so much over

to $S and upwards per month, and found. II
Howard could by any means induce soma bonn
dreds Of those who insist in doing needle work
or nothing, to become domesiics, not only
would they be better off themselves, but those
who continue to occupy themselves with the
needle would receive better wages. If all far
mers should insist on raising potatoes, and
nothing else. potatoes, we fancy, would be We

Notwithstanding the disappointment
of many who since the year 1899, engaged III
the culture of the morus multicaulis and other
varieties of the mulberry, and the raising OF
silkworms, there has been, on the whole.
steady increase in the attention devoted to that
branch Of industry. In twelve Of the states
special bounty is paid for the production Of CO.
coons. and Of the raw silk and there seems at
last no ground for abandoning the enterprise,
so successfully begun. Of aiming to supply our
home consumption of this important article Of
our imports. In Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware Tennessee
and Ohio, there has been quit an increase. The
quantity Of raw silk manufactured in this coun
try the past year is estimated at more than 30,
600 pounds. The amount Of silk stuffs brought
into this country in come single years, from
foreign countries is estimated at more IN value
than $20, 0OO, 900. The climate Of our coun-
try from its southern border even up TO A. de-
frees q North latitude, is suited to the cul-

that the crop Of turnips grown 10 Norfolk a.
