livcrcd an oration before the Masonic fraternity
of Richmond, Va, on Thursday last, in behalf of

Cashmere Shawls.

John b. Ireland Of New York,
when in Cashmere few years since.
visited Meokti Shah, who is The best
and greatest manufacturer Of shawls
in that city. The factory was mis-.
erable. dirty building: the work room
measuring about sixty BY thirty feet.
Here he found some forty men aud
boys OF all ages, from six to fifty, ar-
Hanged in twos and threes, at difier-
ent looms, each one having a loou
to himself; for all the most valuable
shawls are made in looms in small
pieces, according TO the patterns, and
then sewed together. The pattera
is not put in colors and squares like
our patterns OF worsted work fer
chair backs, seats or slippers. but the
directions are written When the
patterns are made they are all sewed
together. at some of the looms in
operation there appeared to be four
or FIVE pins of wood, With rolls of
different shades of Roolen thread,
to be used in different parts OF the
/ patterns. 1t Sas astonishing to sea
/ the dcxter:ty with which the small
children worked these hand looms,
and understood their written direc-
lions. Most of the people were at
work on a. magnificent shawl for the
Empress Eugenie of France. 1t had
a white ground or centre, and would
be the most elegant specimen of cash.
1 mere work Mookii Shah ever pre-
I duced. He told Air. Ireland that
thirty men had been steadily at work
on il for siA months, ,and that 1t would
require three months more TO finish
: it. That is. $3.50 days work were
bestowed on this one shawl. Thc
price when flushed would be aboa
1900 rupees, or $500. Such
shawl would sell for about 81 geo i
