Austrian Manufactures.

Mr. Canisius U. S. Consul at Vienna.
has sent to the department of Agricul-
ture at Washington a communication
upon the subject of manufactures from
the husks of Indian corn at Schlegel-
muhle, in Austria Among articles
manufactured from the husk-fbre are
yarn, paper stuff, linen, drillings, oil
cloth, knapsacks, FIRE buck kets, tar covers
letter-envelopes, fower-paper, cigarette
papers and photographic and parchment
paper. The linen does not appear to be
of fine texture, but it is we'll adapted for
all common purposes. 1t is of close tex
ture, heavy and very strong. Corn-husk
paper is sold at Vienna at prices as low
as paper made from rags and is said tc
be equal to the finest linen paper. For
tracing and drawing papers it is said tc
be superior to the article now in use.
Mixed with rags, the husk-fbre pro-
duces the finest kinds of fancy paper
The cost of the manufacture last year at
the Imperial Mills at Schlegelmuhle was
273, ,740 forms, and the amount of the
product $4,000 forms, making profit
of 105, 260 forms, OF 38 l-2 per cent.

Moisture in the Air.

One oe the most curious and interest
ing of the recent discoveries of science
is, that it is to the presence of very
small proportion of a watery vapor in
our atmosphere--less than one-half Of
one per cent that much of the benefi-
cial effect Of heart is due. The rays Of
heat sent forth from the earth after it
has been warmed by the sun, would soon
be lost in space, but for the wonderful
absorbent properties of these molecules
of aqueous vapor, which act with many
thousands times the power of the atoms
of oxygen and nitrogen of which the air
is composed. By this means the heat,
instead of been transmitted into infni-
tude as fast as produced, is stopped or
damned up, or held back on its rapid
course, to furnish the necessary condi-
tioss of life and growth. Let the mois-
ture be taken from the air but for sim
gle summer night. and the sun would
rise next morning upon a "world held
fast in the iron grip of frost"

The Siberian Crab Apple.

This is one of the prettiest of orna-
mental trees. 1t is perfectly hardy and
of easy culture In habit, it is symmet-
rlcal when grown on the lawn or nn-
crowded, forming a rather low, round,
spreading head The foliage is pretty
The tree is a very beauty in spring when
covered with rose-hued, fragrant bios
SONS. In fruit it is not less beautiful,
and can hardly be exceeded.
The Golden Beauty and Heslop are
nearly as large as the Lady apple. The
one fine golden hue with blushing
cheek, and so fair and smooth you might
think 1T made Of wax. The other the
deepest and darkest crimson, with rich
blue bloom that looks like velvet, til
you rub the apple. when it shines like
satin. The smaller varieties, some yel
low, some red and some yellow with red
cheeks.
The Crab is useful as well as orna-
mental tree. Those clusters hanging SC
profusely on every bough are not only
pretty to look at and fragrant, but IN
dlspensable to the winter store of good
things, All the varieties make excellent
jelly, preserves and marmalape, OZARK

Garments of Mournin g.

!" Putting on black" as sign of
mourning was an essentially heather
custom, indicating the horror Of death,
and that all beyond the grave was a
blank. Mrs. Ware, in her very useful
little book, Death and Life, has some
excellent remarks upon these customs :
"The early Christians recognized the
new aspect which the knowledge of i'm
mortality gave to the death Of the body;
and they soon ceased to use the signs
of mourning for the dead, that till then
had been universal. They felt that it
was wrong to mourn for the dead and
their epitaphs in the Roman catacombs
still testify to the peaceful trust and the
hopeful assurance that animated the
minds of those who there deposited the
mortal remains, often sealed with the
blood Of martyrdom of those they held
most dear. Among the thousands OF
Inscriptions still to be read there, there
is no allusion to be found to the grief
Of those who were left to perform the
last Offices to their friends. No incon-
solable relatives immortalized their tears
on these walls. The simplicity Of a
child like faith that to die here was to
live in the mansions of the all-loving
Father, seems to have been the abound
ing source whence flowed the countless
phrases that speak Of death as always a
good, rather than evil. The bad Latin
in which many Of the inscriptions are
couched proves that large proportion
Of the dead were Of the lower and little
educated classes but all ranks seem -
have been animated BY the same spirit.
Selfish grief finds no expression there
and the historians tell us that all signs
of mourning in dress were deemed unfit
ting in those who believed in the
Christian immortality.

The Testimony of an Irish Demo-
Crat


John Condor, lawyer Of Irish birth.
and Democrat, who has been elected
Mayor of Portage City, says, in his in
augural address,
This is no time to find fault with the
President, to quarrel about this measure
Or that measure, or the manner In which
the war is carried on, or to insist that
this General should be promoted because
he is a Democrat, and that General
should be removed because he is a Re-
publican, and colored men should not be
! enlisted for fear of offending the South,
but every patriot who has the love Of his
country at heart, should sustain the Gov
ernment in this critical hour regardless
Of consequences.
This war of the aristocracy against the
rights of the people, is nothing now in
the history of the world Two thousand
years ago it deluged the Roman world
in blood. Two hundred years ago,
France became one vast field of carnage
in war waged by the aristocracy
against the people, in the terrible war
of the Jacks In England, in the days
of Charles the I, and Charles tue II, riv-
ers Of blood were shed for the same cause.
The American Revolution was war of
the aristocracy. against the rights of the
people, and the people triumphed and we
viii triumph in this struggle, for the Gov
ernment of the United States is estab-
lished upon the principles of eternal JUS
tice, and they will prevail. The sympa-
thy Of every aristocratic government, and
every despot on earth, is with the South,
and against us in this struggle. for our
national existence. f...s ~.
"And hence, as / said before this Gov
ernment must be sustained though it
takes the last dollar and the last man,
no matter who is President, or what par
ty elected him, that we may transmit un-
impaired to our children the inheritance
we have received from our fathers"

NARROW ESCAPE OF GEN. BUTLER.

NARROW ESCAPE OF GEN. BUTLER
A Washington letter says: A bearer
of dispatches from Maj. Gen. Butler to-
the President, arrived here this afternoon
and he subsequently made statement
in the presence Of the Joint Committee
on the conduct of the War and Senate
Military Committee. He states that on
Saturday last, Beauregard, with 1000
men, made surprise attack upon Gen,
Butler about ten miles from Richmond.
So sudden and unexpected was the en-
counter that Gen. Butler himself narrow
ly escaped capture. Indeed his own or
derly was captured within sixty yards Of
him. The command being in readiness,
it quickly passed from the defensive to
the offensive position and the enemy
were most signally defeated.

INDIANS DISAPPEARING A rapid de-
cline seems to be affecting the Indian
tribes on the northern and western bor-
ders. A gentleman who travelled through
the Grow and Blackfoot country, says !:
The great mass of whites, who are now
fast settling up the country once owned
by these Indian tribes, have very little
conception of the amount Of disease and

Grape Vine from He'll.

The Richmond Wing lately announced
that Parson Brownlow had died and de

the spirits in prison" Whereupon the
Parson gets up this characteristic article
"The Richmond Whig a leading rebel
organ, announces the death of the editor of
this paper, and gives the details as regards
our reception in hell, and the treatment
given US by the Prince of Darkness. The
Wig states that the excessive cold weather
Of January was caused by our arrival be-

the heat, and withdrawing it from the eartn!

Both of the men, when on earth, knew us
personally, and therefore could not have
mistaken for us the Rebel Congressman
who died about that time, although we re-
sembled each other in several Joints, in
our personal appearance The truth is,
that these men had been so long accustom-
ed to dispatching lies upon the rebel wires,
while here on earth, that they can't break
off from their old habits, even in sending
back news from the fountains of false
hoods.
