IhiS H"ohino was SOmtDIng
similar to the one now used for cardine
wool, the cotton being taken off the
machine in rolls, and roped by hand
after some delay this machine was fin.
ished. Then they proceeded to build a
spinning frame after the draught obtain
ed at Bridgewater. This machine was
somthing similar to the water-frame now
in use, but very imperfect it consists
of eight heads of four spindles each,
being thirty-two spindles in all, and was
operated by a crank turned by hand.
The first head was made by John Baily,
an ingenious clock maker of Pembroke.
Massachusetts, the other seven heads,
together with the brass and spindles,
were made by Daniel jackson of Provi-
idence, the wood work was made by
Joshua Indy of said Providendce. In
1888, Joseph Alexander and James
M'Kerris, natives of Scotland, arrived
in Providence, both being weavers, and
understanding the use of the fy-shuttle !;
they were engaged to weave corduroy.
Mr.. Alexander to weave piece in Prov
idence, and Mr.. M'Kerris went to East
Greenwich to work there. A loom was
accordingly built after the direction of
Mr.. Alexander, and put in operation in
the market house chamber; this was the
first fy-shuttle ever used in Rhode Is
land. A piece of corduroy was there
woven, the warp being linen and the fill
ing cotton, but as tn re was no person
to be found who could cut the corduroy,
and raise the pile which makes the ribs
on the face of the cloth, and give it the
finish, it was thought best to abandon
that kind of cloth. Mr.. Alexander left
Providence, and went to Philadelphia !;
Mr.. M'kerris continued to work in
Greenwich for some years. This APP
pears to be the beginning of the jenny
spinning in Rhode Island, and uudoubt-
edly originated with the above company.
" The spinning frame (the one at
from the states model), after
being tried for some time in Providence,
was carried to Pawtucket and attached
to a wheel propelled by water-the work
Of turning the machine was too laborous
% be done by hand, and the machine
vas too imperfect to be turned by water
Soon after this, the machine was sold to
Nr. Moses Brown of Providence, but as
Ill the carding and roping was done by
hand it was imperfect, and but little
could be done. This was the situation
Of cotton manufacturing in Rhode Island,
when Mr.. Samuel Slater arrived in this
then all this imperfect ma
chinery was thrown aside, and machinery

Mr.. Slater introduced the "Ark-
wright patents," making the different
machines entirely from memory, thus
giving the manufacturing interests an
entirely new start, and though it has had

vessel and her owners are not liable for
injuries done by her collision with other
vessels, if she has pilot on board but
that the pilot is responsible for any dam
age done to other vessels, by collisions
while he is on board. Judge Kane de-
cided that the pilot is not the servant of
the owners, as the law compels them to
take him on board, and that they are
are not responsible for his neglect, mis-
conduct or want of skill. This is an
important descision, and will render

BY this time Ralph was less under
the influence of liquor than he had been
for weeks, although he had drank as
freely as ever through the day. Taking
hold of bis wife's arms, he said, in a
kind voice, for he began to think that
her mind was really Wandering
" Come, Sally, let us 60 home ?"
"Why should we 60, Ralph :" she re-
piled, keeping her seat. "There is no
fire at home, but it is warm and comfort
able here. There is no food there, but
here is a plenty to eat and drink. do
not wonder that you like this place better
than home, and L am sure / would rath-
er stay here" r.g dfGJ
The drunken man was confounded.
He knew not what to say or do. The
words of his wife smote him to the heart
for she uttered a stunning rebuke that
could not be gainsayed. He felt a
choking sensation, and his trembling
knees bore heavily against each other.
"Sally,' said he, after pause, in an
altered and very earnesttone--" l know
it is more comfortable here than it is ut
home, but | am going home, and | in

EMS name! come!'
Quickly, as if an electric shock had
started her, did Mrs. Lyon spring from
ler seat, as her husband uttered the last
word, and lay hold of his arm with an
lager grasp.
"The Lord in heaven be praised -
he said, solemnly, /" for it is bis work.

Lifting each child from the floor, {
the husband and wife left that den of
misery with as hasty steps as Christians
when he fed from the City of Destruc-
ton.
The hopeful declaration of Mrs. Lyon
proved indeed true There was soon
light, and fire, and food again in the
cheerless dwelling; and the last days of
Ralph and his family has proved to be
their best days. He has never since
tasted the tempting cup, and finds it
very easy matter to save one or two dol

asserting that he possessed higher claims upon
his country as paCiiicator than as a warrior !;
that the lus;re Of his services IN preserving the
peace Of the country surpassed the brilhancy of
his military achievements.
This was the deliberate judgment Of the "Old
Man Eloquent" who was rarely mistaken in his
estimate Of the merits Of public servants. In the
character Of Gen Scott justice and humanity
shine forth conspicuous. HIS military career Is
made doubly illustrous by the desire SO constant
ly exhibited to fulfil his duty with the smallest
possible loss Of human life, and by his generous
solciude for the suffering. whether friend or foe

they did not pay, and now the KcRdalo come
