PinS-A dozen years since all the pins used
in this country were imported. Now, none
are imported, except a few German pins for
the supply of the German population of Penn
sylvania. This wonderful change has been
produced by concurrence of circumstances
the most important of which was the inven-
ton, by Mr.. Samuel Slocum, now of Provi-
dence, of pin-machine, far superior 10 any
then in use in England. This led to the es-
Enlistment of pin-manufactory at Pough-
keepsie by Messrs. Slocum, Jillson & Co,
which, contrary to general expectation, was
entirely successful, and soon distanced foreign
competition. Thus things went on, until the
passage of the Tariff of 1912, which, by in
creasing the duty on foreign pins, encouraged
other parties in this country to engage in this
business. Foreseeing this, the above men,
toned Company-which was succeeded by
the American Pin Company-at once reduced
their prices 20 per cent, and have since redu-
ced them 10 per cent more. Of all the Pin
Companies which have been established or
attempted in the United States, only three are
known 20 exist at present, viz the American
Pin Company, (Which has works both at
Poughkeepsie and at Waterbury, Connecti-
cut,) the Howe Company at Derby, Connect
cut, and Messrs. Peiton, Fairchid & Co., of
Poughkeepsie.
The quantity of Pins turned out by these
establishments, especially the two first, is
enormous. The statistics of one of them, we
have ascertained, are about as follows: Per
week, 70 cases, averaging ITO packs each,
each pack containing II papers, and each pa
per $50 pins: making an aggregate of 1884,
900 pins per week, or 2,079, 1885, 900 per an
mum. II the products of the other two estab.
lshments, and the small amount imported
are together equal to the above, we shall have
a grand total of 4,15S,336,000 pins for con-
sumption in the United States, equal TO 200 OF
an average for every man, woman and child
in the country. A pretty liberal allowance
we are thinking. The number of pin-making
machines employed by said Company is about
SO, and of working people about so. 1t would
be difficult 10 describe these machines so as tc
make their operation ineligible to those who
have not seen them in motion. We will only
say that the wire which is to be wrought in
to pins runs from a reel like yarn into one
end of the machine, and comes out at the 9th
er, not wire, but pins, cut. pointed and head
ed, in the most perfect manner, at the rate o
l so minute. This is about the usual speed
but the machinery is capable of being so ad
justed as to produce 300 minute. Beine
now of yellowish color, they are thrown
by the bushel, into kettles containing certain
liquid, by which they are whitened, and pre-
pared Tor sticking, l. e. for being stuck inc

bany, was reduced to the brink of the grave from
consumption. The best Physicians could do him no
good, his liberated Lungs and LiUer they could
not cure, and gave him up; he lost his appetite,
strength and flesh, and raised great quantities of
blood and bloody matter when the tupercles
burst he raised nearly pint at time.

augustine Hurbide-This young Mexican
Officer, who is now in Washington, on his
parole of honor, is thus described by one of
the letter writer's:
His father was the chief ruler of Mexico at
the time Santa Anna first revolutionized that
country and placed himself in power Of
course, tyrant as he is, he could not feel safe
in his usurpation, unless his predecessor was
destroyed. lturbide was therefore beheaded
by Santa Annals order, his widow and family
exlled, and his estates confscated
Madame Iturbde took up her residence in
Georgetown, D. c., where she lives to this
day. A small pension allotted her by the
Mexican Government, with which she has
managed to subsist and educate her children
She has three daughters and one son, the sub
iect of this sketch. He was born in this coun-
try after his fathers decapitation, and is now
twenty three years old. He is a little less
than medium size, has a pleasing address,
dresses in the bon ton of fashion, but wears
the imperial and moustache of the Mexican
Castlian. His complexion is very fair, ap-
preaching to whiteness, and his eyes, which
are brilliantly black, reflects fully the Spanish
character, being large, lustrous and restless.
When the Mexican war broke out, lturbide
being of age repaired to the Mexican border,
and the first opportunity which presented,
made for the Mexican camp and offered his
services to Santa Anna. He was very criti-
callv questioned by the Mexican Chief as to
his object in thus returning from life of ex-
lie, and putting himself in the power of the
very man who had beheaded his father. Itur-
bide relates that he assured Santa Anna it was
from love of country that he had returned,
that he had no design upon him or his gov
eminent, but simply wished to serve as COM
mon soldier in the armies of Mexico. He was
Immediately commissioned Major, and made
Aid to his Excellency, where he served as one
of his Staff through all the battles in which
Santa Anna had command. He was finally
captured together with La Vega, at the late
battle where WALKER fell. He was taken,
brought to New Orleans, and let 60 on his pa
role OF honor. He is now prisoner at large,
but still is in the enjoyment of the largest lib
erty.
It is said there is large party now in Mex
leo anxious to restore lturbide to his rights,
/ as heir apparent to the throne. He may yet
figure in that capacity, although he disayows
any inclination to such an honor.
| He hates Santa Anna most cordially, believes
him tyrant and traitor to his country. He
says at the battle of Churubusco, he knows
that Santa Anna intended the commanding ge-
neral at that point should be sacrificed his
policy being to get every prominent man out
of his way by any means he could.

The Onion.-The ancient Egyptians paid
religious homage to the heavenly bodies, at
the same time reserving superior tokens of
alteration for the sun, which was their arch
idol, and to whose worship. as we'll as for the
purpose of observing the motions of which,
the Egyptian pyramids were built and devoted.
1t was under the reverentially repeated name
of oN-the being-that the same Deity, the
sun, was known by the same nation, and to
his honor magnificent city in Egypt was
designated by the same name, ON, one of the
temples in which was known by the duplica-
ted title oN-1-oN-the Being, the One, the Be-
ing. This has given occasion to those whose
object was to inquire into the real meaning Of
things as little as possible, to accuse the E.
egyptians of working onions, whereas they on
ly regarded these as symbols of the solar sys-
tenn, which they worshiped. The onion re-
ceived that Egyptian name from the curious
analogy, that if you cut it through horizon
tally, each section presents resemblance of
the solar systematic sun in the centre, and
the orbits of the planets revolving round it,
making up the substance of the root Thus,
whenever we mention the name of this USE
full little bulb, we express the duplicated in
efable charmword of the ancient Egyptians,
esteemed by them in its simple form ON, (of
which, too, the Hindoo AUM or ON may be a
varlation,) as the most sacred Imaginable
