We find the following interesting state
ments in the Arkansas State Journal pub
lished at Little Rock:
"The Society of Friends have opened a
colored orphan asylum in our city. The
three further buildings near the river bank,
in the lower part Of the town, have been
turned over to them by General Reynolds
for this purpose. Franklin Moore and wife,
assisted by three ladies, are in charge. The
number Of orphans is at present thirty-five,
but daily increasing. They can accommo-
date sixty, and are anxious TO fill up to that
number. There are separate schools for
different sexes, to which those not belonging
as well as those in the asylum are admitted,
with about thirty in each. A Sabbath school
is also taught. They hope soon to open an
industrial school to instruct colored women
in cutting and sewing, and night school for
the benefit Of those who cannot attend dur
ing the day. The neatness and order in
which these people have, amid so many diff
iieulties, arranged their supply, Bathing,
cooking, dining, sleeping and school rooms,
as well as the improved appearance and
hearty singing of the children, would not
fail TO interest even those who are indifier-
ent to the selfsacrifce which would de-
liver the needy when he crieth, the poor
also, and him that hath no helper
"The same society have two ladies teach
ing colored schools in the city, and Mr.. Cox
and wife and lady teacher laboring among
the people at the Home Farm. Below Pine
Bluff they have two stations, with five lady
teachers, under the direction Of Mr.. L. NJ.
Butler. At Helena they maintain another
orphan asylum, two day schools and an in
dustrial school. The Friends are doing a
most important missionary work among the
colored people of our State"

RATES OF POSTAGE.

In consequence Of the general ignorance in the
South of the rules Of postage established by law,
many letters of importance are daily lost to those
interested by being Improperly or inSu.hcently
stamped The regulations require that all such
letters dropped into post oihees shall &c immedi-
atcly forwarded 10 the Dead Letter Office. where
they are never heard from unless they contain
money or other enclosures Of value. We give be
low some information which may prevent yeNation
The rate of postage on letters within the United
States is cents for every letter or sealed package
weighing one ounce or under. Those over one
halt ounce, 6cents, and cents for every additional
half ounce. Prepayment; with Stamps in all cases Is
required. All letters without the necessary post
age stamps, or which are stamped with revenue
stamps. will be forwarded 60 the Dead Letter Of
hee Immediately after being dropped into any
post office.
Postage stamps issued prior to 1850 are worth
less, and will not answer for present purposes.

THE WEATHER AND THE SMALL-POX.-
In Mobile the wind turned around on We'd
nesday night and came from the North,
after almost a week of muggy weather. Ii
was not intolerabie, because it WAS mild ;
but it brought apprehensions of the spread
of the smallpox, which is now very COM
mon within the residences of the freedmen.
Several cases have been found on the streets
Some of them, stricken with the disease,
have wandered away from shelter; indeed,
perhaps, having no shelter, have died in the
suburban fields. We suppose that dozen,
perhaps a score, of dead bodies of these poo
creatures might be found lying on fields not
far from the suburbs.-KoJile Tribune, Dec.

KISSING THE BLARNEY SroNE."-Ndr-
ror Escape Of an IatrePid Actor.-Mr. Addi-
son. the well known London actor, has had a
narrow escape from losing his life. That
gentleman, his daughter, and Mr. Sothern,
are PLAYING at the Cork Theatre, and a few
DAYS ago they paid visit TO the celebrated
"blaney stone" Nothing daunted by the
discovery that the party performing the kiss
inc operation must be held by the heels over a
parapet some hundred feet from the ground,
Mr.. Addison insisted on Mr.. Sothern seiE-
ing him round the ankles, two guides also
holding Mr.. Sothern. The stone was tn
umphantly kissed, and Mr. Sothern becom-
ing rather tired Of the novel position of hold
inc fourteen stone by the heels, suddenly
called out 10 the guides TO pull away. They
did so: but the fourteen stone not sntcpat-
inc such an energetic hoist without signal,

nebble Is supported. The consequence was
one az Mr.. Addison's boots came of, and for
= short time he was held in this frightful po-
sision by one ankle only. BY great effort
however. he at last succeeded in giving Mr.
Soshern his other foot, and he was hauled

terrified that she became specifies ana sunk

New Method Of Rolling Iron.

From the Boston Advertiser.
OF making Improvements there is no end.
What seems the nc plus ultra of our genera
ton is but an incipient step towards the pro-
gress Of the next. New processes Of manu-
facture follow each other in rapid succession,
keeping pace with the ever increasing needs
of growing population. A characteristic
of modern inventions is the vast increase of
power obtained by the new machinery
which they introduce, lessening manual
labor and rendering the hardest metals as
pliable as clay in the hands of the potter.
A recent invention Of new method of roll
ing iron is one Of the most important yet
made for the working of this useful metal.
II consists OF n process for rolling iron into
irregular shapes, by which checkered sur
faces, projections and depressions can
be obtained with the same facility as
plain surfaces have heretofore been
produced. This result is accomplished
by means of adjustable discs, Of any de-
sirable pattern, placed upon ordinary
rollers, which leave upon the bars drawn
through them the impress of the figures
which they bear. Instead of solid rolls
turned grooves and peripheries in the ordin-
ary manner, the inventorusesc cast orwrought
iron spindles, on which are slipped cast iron
or steel rings or discs, forming grooves ard
peripheries corresponding to those of ordi-
nary rolls, and susceptible of an almost in
finite variety of combinations. The spindles
are allowed to project beyond the housings
of one side, thus giving an opportunity for
placing upon them every variety ofpatern
discs, and requiring but very minutes TO
effect any desired change. Thus one set of
spindles, with their accompaniment will
do the work of large number of rolls con-
structed in the old solid form and fractures
of grooves or peripheries can he easily re-
paired without the loss of the remaining
portion Of the rolls-an advantage which
will be readily acknowledged by all the iron
workers. Unusual forms can also be made
quickly and cheaply, since il is only neces-
sary TO cut the simple and comparatively
inexpensive discs for them; whereas by the
old method entirely new rollers must be
made for each new form demanded, and ii is
impossible 10 obtain irregular surfaces.
