! Manniar.ure Of Velvet.

The beautiful substance kaowu ay
velvet is mostly silk fabric, remark
able s.or the seFiness Of its surface.
This softness is owing to a loose pile
or surface Of threads, occasioned
by the Insertion Of short species Of
six thread doubled uBder The shoot,

upright so thiekly as entirely to
conceal the interlaeiag OF the warp

The Insertion of these short
threads IS effected 10 the following
manner: Instead ct having only
one row of warp threads, which viii

SQUABBLE ABOUT THE PRINTING Spou.s IN
CoNGREss.-The action of the republican party
in Congress is adding infamy to that organiza-
ton day by day. After spending two
months in wrangle about the Speaker, they

vidual, who is disgrace to the country and

BILE office of Clerk; and now that they are
only about two weeks in the position of legis-

POPULAR OPINION IN VENErIA.-We give else.
where a translation of very spirited descrip-
ton Unpopular opinion in venetia, as express
ed in street scenes, demonstrations at the
operas, cafes, piazzas &C., in Venice and other
cities in the provinces overwhich Austria holds
universal sway, all contained in letter to the
Paris Steele written by the author of Monte
Cristo." The graphic description of NJ. Dumas
will be read with degree of interest beyond
its value as social sketch. 1t shows that the
very name OF Austria is loathed and hated by
all classes of Yeneia, high and low, rich and
poor, and that the feeling of the Italians against
the invaders is even more bitter than it was be-
fore the war. 1t is very evident tina. the days
of Austrian supremacy ia Nortbera Itsly are
numbered.
