SITK MANUFACTURE IN THE I'M
STATEs.-The Economist says: 81
estimated that there are about thirty
mills in operation in different part
the United States, in which from 8,
to 10000 hands are constantly emp
ed. About three fourths of the OPP
tors are children under sixteen year
age, who are engaged at comparat
ly small wages. The entire value of
machinery and mills connected with
silk trade is estimated at $4,000
The average cost Of manufacture on
goods is about one half of the value
the raw material. Taking, thereft
the valne of the import of the raw n:
rial in 1859 at 81, 100000 we shall h
about 100000 as the present va

A LESSON. was once an old
man whose eyes had become dim and
his ears deaf. When he sat at the din
ner table, he could hardly hold his
spoon, so that he sometimes split his
soup on the cloth. His son and daugh-
term law were much displeased at this;
at least they made their old father sit
in a corner behind the stove, and gave
him food III little earthen plate. He
never got so much as he could eat, and
he would often look towards the table
with wet, yet longing eyes.
One day his shaking hands let the
dish fall, and it was broken. The wo-
man scolded, but he said nothing; he
onlysighed. They then brought wood
en- trough for him. Once he was sitting
thus in a corner; his little grand-child,
about four years old, was playing on
the floor near him, with some peices of
wood, for playthings.
"What are you making" asked the
father, smiling.
81 am making trough" answered
the child, ''for father and mother to eat
from when they are old and am grown
big"
The man and his wife looked at each
other in silence, and their tears flowed
fast. They brought their old father
b ack to the table, and gave him as much
to eat as he wished, and they never
spoke angry words, when his trembling
hand split soup on the CLOTH Chris
tian Witness.

Trial of "a Steam Ps0w au the
Missouri Fair.

Onesof the most interesting features
of the afternoons exhibition, was the
trial ofthe steam pillow, brought hith-
Ell. from Hannibal, by the inventor, Rob
9rt l.. Stean-upon the vacant land
west of the Fair Grounds. Steam was
raised about l o'clock, and the huge
machine was taken around the grounds
several times, to the delight and curi>
osity Of hund reds. Not one in twenty
could tell what it was, and when told
that it was a steam pillow, their wonder
ment increased. About three o'clock
it was taken DOT OF the stock gate and a
gang pillow with six blades and rolling
cutters fastened on behind, with this
the monster commenced to move, and
it was soon apparent that the steam
pillow is a great success-and that the
boast Of its invention that rhe machine
will pillow thirty acres per day, could
be easily realized. After turning up
the earth fora distance of about five
hundred feet it turned around and
worked steadily and with little Earring,
while the sod gave way rapidly and
regularly, 1t is suggested that an har-
row might be added, which would
combine the advantage Of blowing and
narrowing in one operation. If this
suggestion is practicable, the hint is
worth thousands to the proprietor of
the plow. .e q ~ .---..

The man burst into loud laugh.
"PuIl that knob, greeny," he said !;
and straightway pulled it again and
again, until Mr.. Jones, a queer looking
fellow, with one leg and dilapidated
eye, came,to the door, and looked
daggers out of his remaining orb of

Mamma Jones is a lady that would

friend, the driver, kept me happy thro'
the winter. I secured knives, and per-
formed quite a series of similar dignifed
labors every morning; but when boys
of my own age were around, | some

TIne Grain Market.

The Commercial articles Of the NJ Z.
Independent, are regarded by business
men, as reliable; they usually take an
intelligent view of trade and the pros
.pective demands of the market. We
take the following from the last number
of that paper =
"The advices from Europe speak of
so unexpected a turn in the state of the
weather and the condition Of the wheat
crop as to lead to q change in prices
downward. The yield Of wheat in En-
gland is now represented to be full
average one. The rains have not pre-.
vented the growth of the plant, the fine
weather enabling it to be garnered well.
Besides, the warehouses of London and
Europe are stocked with foreign corn,
both from Russia, Prussia, and this
country, and the consequence is great
fall in prices. Large orders were also
abroad for further importations, so that
England and France will not suffer for
lack of food at moderate price com
paratively. The Greek merchants seem
to have a control of the market for for
eign wheat. Their large establishments
at London, in the Mediterranean, on the
Black Sea, with branches in New York,
are the medium of supply to. England
for what she is deficient in cereal pro-
ducts. They have thus far made large
profits, but a drawback has now occur
red. They will not renew their orders,
except at great reduction in PRICE
Europe will want more wheat and flour
doubtless, but not at the excessive pri>
ces imagined blythe spectators in grain.
A great proportion of our large crop
will still be wanted at'renumerative pri-
ces, and the present still high prices are
drawing ample supplies from the West
1t is for the interest of the farmer to sell
while prices are thus remuneratiye.-
The consumption Of our country, it is to
be remembered, far transcends any de-
mand that comes to us from abroad,
though the foreign demand fixes the
market price. We observe the failure
of the potato crop in Ireland and En-.
gland is great, and will increase the con-
sumption of corn. s65
