The PRoc nEss OF AMERICAN MAsurAc.

The PRocnEss OF AMERICAN MASUFAc-
TuREs.-The New York Economist in the
course of an article upon lawns, cautions
importers Of dry goods to note the improve
ments which the United States are con-
stsntly making in the production Of those
styles Of goods which heretofore have been
almost exclusively LEFT TO the foreign fab
ricant. The writer inIimates that the evi.
dence OF ono years profit on certain de-
scriptions is not to be relied upon for the
following years guidance in importations.
The experience, industry, and energy Of
our New New England manufactures have
removed every barrier thus far, in wide
range, which the longer applied effort and
skill Of smother continent has set Up. in
the article Of lawns great improvements
have been made, not only In quality, but
towards supplying an ample stock for the
country. The Economist states that the
Pacific Company made arrangements with
the Portsmouth Compsny to print oil their
goods, say about 100000 yards. The
former are under pledge to ,bs latter not
TO import any for competition.

FROM NoRroLK.-It gives us pleasure to
announce the re-appeara nee Of the Norfolk
Herald. We have that paper OF Monday,
in which tho editor says -" We have re-
sumed our labor; our political aids and
helps are still absent, mpatienlly waiting
the signal to return, and until then we shall
be compelled to issue our papers only three
times week."
We take the following from the Herald
Of Monday -
The physicians strenuously advise that
absentees be in no haste to return. The
warm weather last week brought out seve-
raj new cases of fever-last Thursday three
very bad ones-and ONE deaths from pre-
vious ckness. The weather on Saturday
was cool, but withou, frost. We have had
but one frost yet, and that was only seen in
the upper parts OF the city; though we
hear there have been several in the coun-
try.
There is yet much sickness in the city,
though but little Of it from the epidemic
md great deal of destitution, some of it
in families accustomed to good living.
Ninc-tenths Of the poorer classes were
compelled to remain during the pestience
for want of means to fee from it, and il
they were not fed by the Howard Assoca-
ton would absolutely starve.-The Relief
Committee of Richmond, we learn, has
generously sent down a load of coal for
their use.

A LuHATIc DocToR SETTING BROKEN
ARM.-Recently while one of the patients
of the State Lunatic Asylum, who was
formerly doctor, was taking his accus-
toned stroll for air and exercise, he was
atlraccd to house not far from the Asy-
lum by the cries of young girl, who, in
climbing over fence, had fallen and brok-

certaned that the poor, decrepid, bed-ridd .
mother and the unfortunate girl, whose la
Dor was the only support Of the two, were
the only occupants, A boy had been sent
for and was then absent in quest of ply
sician or surgeon. The doctor could not
witness the young girls distress, so he in
stanty went to work and set and splintered
the broken limb. The old lady, with tears
of joy and gratitude, exclaimed, doctor,
what's to pay7" .Oh nothing" he re-

Tors, broke in the 'ront door to release the
remaining inmates of the house, but, as
soon as practicable, search was made aud
several persons brought out, among them
one woman who was sent to the hospital
fatally burned. IL was nearly fifteen min
utes before the arrival of the fircmen,
meantime there were ~ or Is persons in
the house. The first flor was occupied
by Mr.. Maconey, wife and child. On the
2nd floor, lived the family Of Henry Lubbs
who gave the alarm. Tn. 3rd story wan
occupied by Oliver ID. Vandenburg, WIFE
two children, aid the mother and sister of
Mrs. Vandenburg; Mrs. Ca,harine Pen
cock, aged SO, and Miss Mary Peacock,
aged 10.
The 4,h floor was occupied by Mrs.
Brown, wife OF one Of the mates on
Savannah steamer. A little boy, aged 9
years, her nephew, was with her on visit.
In the attic were two servants Of MIR.
Lnbbs, one named Julia Recas, and Ger
man girl Mr.. Lubbs says they called Fred
erica. Miss Becker, sewing woman, who
boarded with Mr.. Lubbs, also slept in the
attic.

what Inaaner is not known. The flames

SPIRITUAL HuMBUG G.-Somc time ago
tho New England Spirtualist published a
communication received from a spirit on
the 3Oth June. We suppose the fact that
DR.. Kane has returned to contradict the
prediction only shows the spirit was bad
one, not that the whole affair was more
cheat. The communicate N was as follows ::
DR.. Kare has recently passed away from
the earth life, his mortal body having been
crushed by the ice, ~ he went aiter hi,
crew, who had gone search Of land. His
ships have been broken to pieces and de-
stroyed, and most, if no, all his crew, are
in the spirit world. The spirit also stated
that he, in company with DIR. Kane, Sir
John Franklin and others, was last night
in the polar regions, and saw the remains
OF DR.. Kane upon the ice, with clothes,
papers and his watch, upon which he saw
his name, "Dr. Kane," he having engrav-
ed it thereon, not expecting to escape, but
hoping that it might be found by some one
in search OF him. G.sssaa

and hired horse and carriage for a drive.
He gave the name of Eugene Tybalt -
Having obtained the animal and the vehi-
Gle, Tybalt left, and soon afterwards ex.
changed them for n valuable gold watch
and considerable sum of money. The
watch was then pledged at q pawnbroker's 5
and eighteen dollars obtained upon it. A
few days sin ce, the owners Of. the horse
and vehicle received note stating that the
horse had run away, the carriage had boen
dashed 10 pieces, and Tybalt so badly in
jured that he had been confined to his bed
ever since. The note suggested that re-
ward had better be offered for the recovery
of the horse. Tybalt next wrote to the
man who had bought the horse and car.

SONG OF THE MOTHERLEss.

God help and shield the molherIess,
The stricken, bleeding dove
For whom there g'ishes no rich fount
OF deep and deathless love
The saddest title grici confers--
For who so lone as they,
Upon whose path mothers love,
shedApot its holy ray
No gentle form above them bends
10 soothe the couch Of pain
No voice as fond as hers essays
To calm the feverish brain.
Oh, other tongues may whisper love,
In accents soft and mild
But none on earth 20 pure as that
A mother bears her child
Judge kindly Of the mother less
A weary lot is theirs,
And oft the heart the gayest seems,
A load Of sorrow bears.
No faithful voice directs their steps,
Or bids them onward press
"And If they gang a kennin wrang,"
God help the mo,hsrless !
And when the sinful and the frail,
The tempted and the tried,
Unspotted one shall cross thy path,
Oh, spurn them no, aside.
Thou lnowest not what thou hadst been
With trials even less
And when thy lips would vent reproach,
Think, THEY WE'RE MoTHERLEss
A blessing on the motherless,
Where'er they dwell on earth.
Within the home Of chi ldhood,
Or at the strangers hearth
Blue be the sky above their heads,
And bright be the sun within, ..
o God protect the molherless.
And keep them free from sin.

two thousand have been buried being not less
than two GU; OF three of the whites and one
out of three of the whole abiding commu-

Hickman, states that the H., contrary to all
established rule, did not show any colors
when the mln-of-war hove in sight, nor
even when two shots had been fired, and

The Thalia had previously passed the Span

salute and gone on her way unvisited.-
And SO might the Hickman have done, had
not the Captain stubbornly concealed what
every honest vessel is supposed to be proud
of showing--the national flag.
