CalJ0rnia Journalism.-In California,
the newspapers are never suspended by
''supreme order" as we understand the
supreme" in Mexico. There is a su-
preme power there which has, of late
years, been exceedingly destructive to
ambitious newspaper men; it is the or
der Of the creditors, which finds its way
to the printing rooms by the agency of
the Sheriff. We give the following ac.
count of the way the thing is done:
The Sheriff came down like a cat
on strange kits, his pockets were full of
attachments and writs; and the sound of
his voice was as drear as the dun that
makes the poor debtor in haste cut and
run and there stood the printing press
still as dream, propelled by no muscle,
unawakened by steam; the furnace un-
lighted, the engine unheard, the cylin-
der empty, the piston unstirred and
there lay the foolscap unwritten and
pale ; upon it no item, no leader, no tale;
the lamps were unlighted, the sanctum
was still, with rust on the scissors, and
dust in the quill; and there lay the
horse with no paper upon't, no rule in
the stick, and no ink in the font; the
cases were empty of letter and space,
no sheets on the bank, and no form in
the chase; the platen was still, and the
carriage moved not; no form in the I've
trough, no lye in the pot the proof un-
corrected, the leader unwrit, the mallet
uHlifted, the planer unhit. For the an
gel Of death--evangel of Law-had
found in the "Irue Cal5ornian" a flaw;
and the journal, alas, like the sword fish
that flew; felt death in the touch and
turned cOrpselike in hue And there
lay the mighty Colossus of Rhodes, with
brass quite sufficient for nine hundred
loads; and the glory of "Caxton," in
spite of his rhymes, had perished like
frost-work, for want of the dimes..'
SEAMLESS GARMENTs.--A large es-
tabIlshmcnt at Mattewan, is employed in
the manufacture Of seamless garments of
felted wool, which are represented as
much stronger, warmer, more durable,
and more imperyious to wind and water,
than those made of cloth, while costing
not more than the cloth before making
up. The wool is felted into cloth, but
III the midst of that process, while yet
III a comparatively loose tissue, j is cut
up into garments about double the size
desired; the edges to be joined are bev-
eled and basted together; and the gar
ment IN this state is again passed into
the felting machine, which reduces it to
one compact and undivided tissue of felt.
Then the garments are fulled, teazled,
and sheared, like ordinary cloths, and
finally are shaped and finished upon cop
per forms heated by steam. After this,
they are trimmed with binding, buttons
and holes, pockets, ETC., and are ready
to wear the process being completed,
from the wool, in single day The
cloth differs from ordinary felt in its con.
struction, being equally strong in all di-
recfions.
Lola Montez rode from Niagara to
Buffalo, in the baggage car of the train,
in spite of the requests and commands
of the conductor. She went there to
smoke, and was told that she must ride
where others did. She took no notice
at first; then said she had travelled all
over the world, had ridden where she
chose, and should do so now. The
third time, she simply looked at the con.
ductor, and said that she had "horse.
whipped bigger men," whereupon he
"lried M" incnntin entlH.
