The NEGRO AND THE NEEDLE.-It is not gen.
orally known that in the early progress of the
needle manufacture we are indebted to the negro
The earliest record of needle making in this
country was in the year 1915, in the reign of
Henry VIII, and it is supposed that this usefn
branch of industry was introduced by Moor
from Spain. The historian, Stowe, tells US that
needles were sold in cheapside and other busy
streets of london, in the reign of Queen Mary,
and were a, that time made by Spanish negro, /,
who refused to disclose the secret of his art
Another authority state that the art of making
steel needles was lost at the negro's death,
but was afterwards revived by German in
1866. Probably these facts may account for
the crest of the needle makers coat of arms
being the head of nsgro.-History Of Needle
Making.

GRANADA TO BE A FUTURE VENECE.-At no
great distance from the city of Granada are sit
uatcd a cluster of the most beautiful and fertile
islands it is impossible to conceive. They vary
from few square yards to several square miles
in superficial extent. Beyond these and sepa-
rated from them by deep, navigablo cham cl,
stands the large island of zapetaro, whose Dol d
headlands and irregular surface serve as guide
to all who navigate the lake zapetaro is in
its western extremity scooped out SO as to form
an almost circular bay, and the shore OF tile
mainland opposite having deep curve, an al
most circular bay is formed of several mi les in
diameter, so securely sheltered by highlands as
to make the slightest ship lie secure upon lis
surface, even when storms may be lashing into
fury the more exposed parts of Lake Nicaragua
The southwestern part of this bay is also en
tered by channel of deep water which divides
the southwestern extremity Of zapetaro from the
main land. The northern part OF the buy ls
bounded by the cluster known as the % Thou
sand Islands" each one of which, to our mind,

stores, and commercial warerooms, and VIII -
vessels of considerable tunnage can move iroh
one depot to another with more ease than OK
carts now used in Granada move from one street
to another. On this city of a thousand islands,
pure cool water will be always convenient
and it would be impossible for impurities
and infections to exist in its vicinity. -
Here canals will occupy the place of streets
and light lairy-lke pleasure boats will slper
