1 Manufacture Of Thinlhles.

Notwithstanding the facility with which the manufac.
ture If these small but essential implements is carried
on by means Of molds in the stamping machine, few
processes can compare in ingenuity and effective adap-
tation, with the contriyance first made use Of in Paris.
Sheet iron one twenty. fourth of an inch thick, is cut
into strips of dimensions suited to the intended size Of
the thimbles. These strips are passed under u punch
press, whereby they are cut into discs Of about two
inches diameter, tugged together By a tail. Each strip
contains one dozen Of these blanks, and these are made
red hot, and lsid upon e taandrel nicely fitted to their
size. The workman naw strikes the middle Of each
with a round faced punch, about the thickness Of hi
finger, and this sinks it into the concavity of the first
mandrel. IT. is then transferred successfully to another
mandrel, which has five hollows Of successfully increas-
ing depth, and, by striking it into them it is brought
to the proper shape. This rude thimbie is then placed
in q lathe i'll. order to polish it within it is then turned
outside, the circles marked for the gold ornament, and
the pits indeuted with u sort Of milling tool. They are
next annealcd, Frightened, and gilded inside with IA very
thin coat of gold leaf, which is firmly united to the sur
face of the iron by the strong pressure of a smooth steel
mandrel. A gold dllct is applied to the outside, in au
annular space turned to receive it, being fixed BY ores
sure at the edges, into a minute groove formed on the
lathe.

To the Brahmins all animal food, save that of fshe 8
and kids, is forbidden yet in some districts they will
readily partake of the flesh of any animal whatever, if

and venison fowls, beef aud pork are held in abomina.
ton. Many castles follow the same rules. With some,
however, pork is the favorite diet; beef only is prohib-
tied. Those who shrink from the pollution of eating
the flesh of domestic poultry will eagerly devour that Of
jungle fowl, which differs from the gamecock only
in size. All Hindoos consider themselves defled by
contact only with feathers; among the tribes at the foot
Ut the h%imalayas, who are in other re- poets strict Hin
docs, this prejudice does MT exist. An earthen pot is
polluted beyond redemption by being touched by one of
an inferior caste u metal one suffers no such dateriora-

upon their heads; bid them carry a nm for a few ices,
and, though it be a matter of life and death, they will
answer you that it is the busin. ss Of another caste. The
R"hilas will submit to be logged within an inch OF their
lives with a leathern martirgae, but to be struck with
"a whip or cane would be an indellble disgrace, and very
likely to be resented with a bullet or a stab. Spirituous
liquors are in general only allowed to Pariahs. In some
parts of Southern India the Brahminsp artakc of them
without scruple. Among the Nairs of Malabar, the
women enjoy a plurality Of husbands. Among the
Totiyars, on the same coast, those within the degrees Of
consanguinity possess their wives in common. Many
castles are only to be known from one another by the
cut and color of their clothes, the shape and arrange
rnent Of their trinkets, or some other equally frivolous
and unimportant distinction -Ir0t"y on Caste.

RETURNING ANswERs-Ilear the story of the child
which went forth into the mountain ravipe. When the
child wandered there, he called aloud to break the lone
illness, and heard a voice which called to him in the
same tone. He called again, aud, as he thought the
voice again Knocked him. Flushed with anger he rushed
to lind the boy who had insulteI him, but could find
none. He then called to him in anger, and with
abusive %epithets, all of which were faithfully returned
to him. Choking with rage, the child ran to its mother
and complained that a boy in the woods had abused and
insulted him with many vile words. But the mother
took her child by the hand and said: Ny child, these
names were but the echoes of thine own voice. What
ey or thou did.t call was returned to thee from the hill.

candidy and faithfully, yet always with a
kind spirit If one does thus, and feels a
true and deep interest in the subject, but few
will complain But suppose some do find
fault" So will some if you preach against
profanity, or Sabbath desecration, or, in fine
against any sin.
1t would, doubtless, be pleasing to wicked
schomng men to mingle every crime or evil
in some way with politics, and then decry all
agitation of such subjects from the "Sacred

NEW SLEEPING CAR-1he Buffalo Com
mcrcial learns that Woodruff newly patented
night-car now makes regular trips every other
night. on the Lake Shore Railroad, under the
supervision of Mr.. O. +. Elliott This car
is one Of the most sensible inventions of the
age, and fills the deficiency so long felt on all
our railroads being so constructed that
while in the day it presents the appearance of
a well appointed, comfortable travelling car,
at night every seat is capable by very in
genious contrivanco. Of being converted into
comfortable couch, whercupon a weary
traveller can rcpose and sleep about as easy
as on an ordinary cot or mattress The ar
rangemont is so complete that no one of the
occupants of car are dependent upon the
motions of others occupying contiguous seats,
but each, having his place designated. can at
his pleasure convert it into a bed for the
night. We learn that arrangements are in
progress for putting these cars on most of the
principal roads of the country, and when tins
is done night travelling will be divested of
its great objection, and travellers will take the
night trains, without that horrible feeling of
long and sleepless night.
WAR ABOUT HAND ORGANs.-Quite an
amusing controversy has been carried on of
late in relation to hand organs, between a
well known lecturer and Bank President,
both residing in the same locality at the South
End. 1t seems that the invalid wife of one
Of the parties has penchant for this species
of music, the strains having soothing effect
upon her nerves; therefore the itinerant mu-
sicians are well patroniaed, and make frequent
calls at that house. On the contrary. per
verse influence is exerted upon an invalid in
the neighbors family. Party number two
takes as much pains to drive the grinders a.
way as number one does to retain them. One
brbes them to 60, and another fees them to
stay, and between the two the grinders are
reaping u rich harvest.--,Joarndl.
KNITTING AT Operations,
after a suspension of few weeks, have now
been resumed at the Green Mountain Knit
ting Mills of this village, and will, we are
told, continue in operation during the winter,
without further suspension. Mr.. Ii. l..
Bradford, of this village, has already com
menced the operation of changing his Wollen
Factory into Knitting Factory. This change
will give employment to many more hands
than has the Woolen Factory, as he will now
find it necessary to employ some thirty or
, forty.--Banner.
