few days ago that clearances for the port Of Ma

loaded with Merchandise, and some Of them
cleared for Matamoras while others had obtained

The Army Manufacturing Business.

Every day brings with it illustrations Of
the wide spread activity caused by the
preparations of the government for long
war. Passing. or rather -endeavoring yes
terday to pass through an alley way in the
central part of the city, We found it bar
ricaded with packing boxes. The boxes
are the work of man who three months
ago could hardly find any occupation. He
is now making packing boxes for the gov
ernment with all the hands he can employ,
and carte blanche to continue work until
ordered by the Quartermaster to stop
Goods made for the IT, S. Government are
delivered at the arsenal, government find
ing the boxes. The receipts of clothing
at the arsenal are enormous. To inspect
the operations is well worth 4 days time.
One single establishment deliver daily g.
600 shirts and 5000 pairs drawers; from
another is received an equal number of
hose, and there are but two sample estab-
lishments of the many that are engaged in
pouring into the arsenal their various
products. The number of mills running
solely upon army cloths and army fanneis
are becoming legion. Mr.. Divine, of Bank
street, has no less than six, while scarce a
day passes in which some cotton mill is
not altered into a woolen mill and set to
work upon cloth and flannel.
Where hayforks and scythes took the
attention of manufacturer, sword blades
and bayOnets arc produced instead. Brass
turner's have left off making faucets and
door keys, and are doubling the products
of their industry in making trappings for
cavalry and the more delicate workman
ship upon gun carriages, sword sheaths,
&c. Trunk makers have taken to the fash
iOning of knapsacks. and men who once
made carriages for the wealthy. are now
making ambulances for the soldier.
The result is that the city is gradually
becoming one vast workshop, and the hum
of industry each day grows louder and
louder. From the streets beggary has al
most disappeared, and the demands upon
the committee by the families of absent
volunteers are daily diminishing from the
abundance of employment offered to the
industrious. The present war may pinch
in some places, but it carries employment
and comparative ease to others.-U. s. |

Anew Kind of Dress Goods.

A pleasant Paris letter in the Courriel
des Etats Unis tells this story:
A paper manufacturer has just invented
kind of impermeable paper, suitable fol
dress goods. 8Its manner of employment
is both simple and ingenious. 1t consists
in replacing by small frames the hoops up
on which are balloOned the pettieoats oi
our ladies. These new tangled engines are
covered with packing canvas, upon which
you have only to glue, as on a common
screen, the newly invented paper.
Thanks to this invention, when a lady
wants new dress, her husband has no
longer to distress himself with the dis
bursement Of five or six hundred francs,
for twenty yards of velvet, or thirty Of
moire antique; all he will have to do will
be to buy five or six rolls of twelve sous
paper, and send for the glue man This
is as simple as all grand ideas usually
are. --.. ... ~ - Il.
The father about to marry his daughter
will not be obliged long time beforehand
to bother himself about her troSseau; be
will limit himself to asking his wife, on
the day before the wedding, "What paper
shall We glue to our Emily % 49,
Mon Dieu, my love, the mother viii
reply, ''dO whatever you think proper-it
seems to me that some twenty-five cent pa
per, with a pretty border, you know"
Then man will take a wife without
dover, and the marriage contract will stip-
ulate that the father-in-law engages to pa
per hang his daughter ( fairs tapiser so
fAe) for the first three years
