The Philadelphia Gazette then rebukes
this miserable threat at length.
II is mol a wonder that ihrea, to dis
solve the Unicu from such quarter, ex
cites AS much mirth as it does indignation.

One of The most elegan, coverings for
beds is the fabric which bears the name OF
Marseillcs quilt. 1t is wovenin :he hand
looms Of Europe, and as thai mode of
manufacture is SLOW and required an ex
perienced workman TO each loom. Ii has
hitherto not been made in this country, but
imported from abroad.
An ingenious artisan in Massachusetts
has lately invented, we are told, method
of making Marseil!es quilts with as much
facility as the common brown sheeings
which costs nine cenls yard. A power
loom, driven by steam, envolves Tie heau
liful issues finished with great regularity
aud symmetry; tho raised figures, on lis
surface exhibiting almost every imagina-
BILE variety Of pattern. A little girl, or
any inexperienced person, may attend
several looms at once. The price of The
fabric eau only exceed that of common
brown sheetings by the cost Of The L,a'e-
rial, inasmuch as the labor of producing
it Is no grealer.
Ingran carpets, which form lhefprinci
pal covering of our, floors, are also woven
in Europe by hand looms. and the ex-
pense of employing The necessary work
men has hndered the extensive introduc.
ton Of the manufacture into this country.
The person TO whom we have already al
luded, has invented power loom for wea-
wing Ingram carpets with the same rapid
i,y that the looms Of our factories turn out
The plainest and coarsest fabric. A certain
rich capitalist at The eastward has expen.
ded, we are told, SS0,000 in assisting lhe
inventor in his various experiments to
bring it to perfection, which he has at
length succeeded in doing. A lille girl
( stands at The machinery aud tends four or
five looms which jerk out The fabric with
incredible rapidity. As the principal ex
pense Of making this kind of carpeliug
has hitherto been the cost of the labor, the
price will be greatly reduced by this in.
