The Manufacture of Straw.

At the monthly meeting of the r. l. Historical
Society In Providence on Wednesday evening.
Hon. Wm. R. Staples read an interesting paper
on the rise and progress Of the straw braid busi-
ness, embracing facts gathered from a wide field
of inquiry. The straw business began very early
in Tuscany and in some of the States of Italy.
Bonnets and hats of this material were imported
ready made into England. Subsequently were
made an article of export to the American colo
MES, and were kept for sale in Providence. In
the latter part Of the last century, Mrs. Noame
Whipple, wife Of Col. John Whipple, who kept
store at the foot of Constitution Hill, North Main
Street, was celebrated for the taste she displayed
in trimming hats, caps and bonnets. The braid
ing of straw was first begun in this country IN
Providence, in 1898, by Mrs. Betsey Baker, daugh-
ter of the late Joel Metcalf, and now residing In
Dedham, Mass.-The first bonnet she made was
of seven straws, with bobbn let in like open work,
and lined with pink satin. 1t must have created
quite sensation when it appeared. From Mrs.
3. several acquired knowledge of the process of
braiding and gradually the business spread through
New England. Some idea may be formed of the
extent to which the business has been carried, by
the fact that in 1855, according to returns made,
8, ,326 900 stray bonnets were manufactured IN
Massachusetts, employing about 1000 males and
g0OO females. In the wear ending June 80, 1857,
raw and manufactured straw materials to the val
ne of g, ,246 ,928 were imported into the United
States. AT the time Mrs. Baker made her first
bounet no one could have foreseen the great re-
suIts that have followed and in the autumn of

TheIce Trade.

One half, at least, of the business and wealth
of the United States, has been created by the in
genuity of the American people. What would
the production of cotton be worth, an article now
our heaviest export in value but for the invention
of Whitney's cotton gin, and the late improve
ments on it. The articles of cut nails, of the
screw augur, of the spiral gimblet, of the solid
headed pin, and fifty other things, the value OF
which we do not realize because we are so famil-
lar with their use, are all American inventions,
and have given q spur to business of inconceiVabe
force.
The ice export is trade which has grown up
within the last few years, and is another remark
able illustration OF the misunderstanding faculty
of the Americans. Ice has now become q staple
article of commerce, employing in the coasting
trade two hundred and ftty-eight ships, brigs and
schooners, and for foreign export ninety-fve YES
sells, principally of large class. Total, 1853 YES
sells.
The following, taken from the late American
Almanac, furnishes some interesting statistics on
the subject
"The first cargo ever taken from the United
States was shipped from Boston in 1905, by Fred
erick Tudor, gentleman who had previously dis
patched an agent to the West Indies for informa-
tion touching the enterprise. The cargo went to
Martinique and proved loss of $500, but the
protector of the enterprise stuck to it with a
tinual loss, until the embargo and war put an end
to foreign trade. Alter the war, In 1870, ne re-
commenced the trade by shipments to Havana un-
der a contract from the government of Cuba, which
Welded profit. In the meantime he opened the
trade with Charleston Savannah and New Orleans.
So Up to 1892, the business was confined to the
enterprise of this one individual. At that pc
rod Others embarked extensively in it, and in 1888,
Tudor extended his operations to Calcutta, Mad
ras and Bombay. The shipments of ice from
Boston in the year 1S47, coastwise, amounted to
81 1887 tons, making 258 cargoes shipped to for
eign ports, 22,59I; making 95 cargOes. The
freight, storage and other expenses on the whole
amounted to 1886, isl. In the same year, % car
goes of provisions, fruits and vegetables, valued
at 900 cost, were shipped in ice from the

United States to ports where such articles could
not otherwise be sent.
Eight of the ice houses in Massachusetts,. erected
pnrpOsely for the trade are capable of containing
l4l ,332 tons. The consumption of ice in Boston
alone, in lS47, was q 900 tons, employing &c
wagons in the delivery. In Havana ice sells for
IA cts. per pound, in Calcutta at 2 l-2 cents,
IN Boston at l3 l-2 cents per hundred pounds on
the average The entire statistics of the ice trade
are highly interesting, not only evidence of the
magnitude it has assumed as an item of commerce,
but as showing the indefatgable enterprise of the
man-yankee. There is scarcely nook or corner
of the civilized world where ice has not become an
essential if not common article of trade The
city of New York consumes an immense quantity,
giving employment to a great number of persons,
and involving large amount of capital

Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation.

We have been favored with the following extract from
letter of Enwood Morris Esq, Chief Engineer of the
Cape Fear and Deep River works. The letter is dated
Nov. 18th, 1859-it may be of interest to our people
here We cannot but regard the report as favorable =

The baltimore OutrnCes.

If great robbery is committed, the party in whose
possession the pundered goods found will generally
be regarded the not those from
whom they are taken away. Now as the result of the
outrages which all admit to have been perpetrated last
week in Baltimore we find that the socaled American
majority has been increased in less than mouth from
fifteen hundred to fifteen thousand! What is the in
evtable deduction which common sense must make from
this startling fact? There be but one and the at
tempt to whitewash it over must be regarded simply
ridiculous why, even the Baltimore american, paper
