THE ROMAN PURPLE.

Wool was largely used by the Ro
mans. An instance is cited where 8
single Patrician bequeathed by will two
hundred thousand sheep. The finest
kind, however, appear to have been
valued very highly.
The Roman purple worn by the sen.
ators, was made from woods of Italy.
which, according to Pliny, were worth
four dollars per pound of twelve ounces,
and which, of the same weight, were
worth one hundred and sixty dollars
when colored with tie Tyrian dye. 1t
is not strange, then, that Horace should
boast of a gift to his mistress of feeces
twice dyed with the Tyrian murex.
The world has regretted, for many CEN
turies, the loss of this imperial dye; but
within the last ten years, or no later
than 1856, chemistry has produced
from aniline, a product of worthless
coal tar, a purple tint, resisting light,
alkalies and acids, and rivaling, upon
the light worsted zephyrs of our simple
maidens, the hue of the patrician man
tie.

Thus we have the coarse Cordova and
Donskol woods for our carpets; the
noble electoral woods of Saxouy and
Silesia for our broad-cloths; the strong
middle woods of the Southdown and our
native sheep for blankets; the soft, long
and finer merino woods of France, Yer,
mont and Michigan for thibets, delaines
and shawls; the longer aud coarser
combing woods of the Cotswood and
Leicester races for worsteds in their
thousand applications; the very long
and bright haired lustre woods of Lin
colnshire for alpaca fabrics, and lastly,
the precious silky Mauchamp wool the

THE FELTING PROPERTY.

The fibre of wool is crisped or spiral
ly curled, and is made up of cells of
different kinds-the interior forming
the pith, and the exterior consisting of
serrated rings, imbricated over each
other, having under the microscope
the appearance of series of thimbles
of uneven edges inserted into each 9TH
er, these serratures, as well as the
spiral curls, being more or less distinct,
according to the fineness of the FIBRE

SHoDDY.

Twenty-Five years ago wooden rags
were worth almost e4 per ton, and
were used only for manure. They are
now worth in England e40 per ton to
be converted again into cloth. 1t is
estimated that. in the neigh borhood of
Leeds, 5,000,OG0 to 100000 yards of
cloth, of the value of $I5, 200, 900, are
annually manufactured from this ma
terial, and that, if the supply of shoddy
were stopped, it would stop one-third
of the wooden mills in the United King
dom, and bring distress upon the West
Riding in Yorkshire, as great as that
lately suffered in Lancashire from the
want of cotton. 1t is disclosed on the
report of the London Exhibition of
1852, that sixty-ive million pounds of
shoddy are annually consumed in Eng
land, greater quantity than the whole
wool product of the United States, es-
timated at 60,264,9l3 pounds by the
census of 1860! 1t is one of the adyan-
tages of depending upon foreign i'm
portation for our goods, that we are in
blissful ignorance of their origin, and

DURABILITY OF FIBRE.

The perfection of the fibre is shown
in its indestructibleness and durability
Cotton and fax may be ultimately re-
duced to mere woody fibre. Wool is
almost incapable of mechanical de-
struction. The existence of "shoddy,"
the term of reproach to the wooden
manufacturers, is the strongest proof of
the excellence and indestructibility of
its original fibre.

Autumn. How delightful is au
tumn. Autumn is one of the sweetest
seasons in the whole year. The trees
are clothed in purple and gold, the
wind shakes down the beechnuts, which
the squirrel gathers up and takes to
his home to put on his table for des-
sert during the winter, and the ereak
of the cider-press IS heard through the
land.
"How sweet it is to walk forth upon
an sutumnal morning in autumn, to
hear the music of the autumnaI gale.
and to feel the warmth of the autun-
nal sun, especially in the autumn -
The dead leaves fly along your path
and they seem to whisper: Follow US
to sun land and bathe in a sea ofrain-
bows" Angels beckon US to the pala
ces of the West, and their fairy wands
gleam a1ove their walls of crystal
light. Then the burdocks lift their
heads and say; Whittier goest thou,
sistersP Aud then the leaves reply
we are bourne on the arms of the
wind god and we know not Whitherest
we goestest.'
"Of all the seasons of the year, give
me, oh give me Autumn. LULIE."
Owing to the excessive rains we have
had this fall, it might appropriately be
called a Oater7faH As Antony says in
his celebrated funeral Oration over the
body of ]. Csezar, ''l0at sr fall was there
my eountrymen :"
The fall races occur in the fall most
ly, although they are sometimes pos
poned until spring. 81 -

"Gris," of the Cincinnati Times, does

follows:
This is the season of the year known
as fall, so called because merchants get

ticular fall there would have been no
death in the world, consequently no
undertakers, no funeral professions, no
wearing Grape on the hat, no gay, young
widows, no waiting for a rich old rela-
tive to kick the bucket, no newspaper
obituaries, (thank heaven y no tomb
stones and no epitaphs.
Sin would be unknown so there
would be no courts of justice, no peni-
tentiaries, no faro banks, no whiskey
shops, no police court reporters, no
headache in the morning, no cheating
at cards, no fraud on the printer, no
sueing for your money after loosing it
on a square bet, no running away with
another mans wife, no illegal voting.
no garroting, no stealing billiards. no
watering of whiskey, no auctioneers,
no political preachers, no refusing to
marry the girl" no false counts in ten
pins, no sand in sugsr, no tearing down

Our advices are up to yesterday. Ihc 1ol-
lowing summary contains the substance OF inc
news:
GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. A dlspa ca
from London states that the Fenlan troubles
have assumed considerable proportions, and
that there is no doubt serious outbreak has
occurred. Two regiments OF British troops
were urgently ordered to ireland on Monday
last, and transports were being prepared the
same evening at Portsmouth. A large detach-
ment of marines was also sent to Queenstown.
Twelve thousand breech loading rifles were 10
be sent to ireland for the use OF the constaDu-
larry force there The gunboat Chatham mas
also been ordered to Queenstown Immediately.
Much alarm was felt at Cork and throughout
Ireland generally. ,
The London Times believes that Head
Centre Stephens will soon be in Ireland, even
if he has not reached there already. Inc
London Morning Herald thinks the Govern
ment of the u. S. will endeavor to defeat the
Fenian plots. The same journal states that
Mr.. Adams has revived the Alabama claims
A Cabinet meeting is to be held to take the
matter into consideration The use of the
public parks for political meetings in favor OF
reform has again been refused The London
Globe hints of a more serious trouble with the
y. s. as being at the bottom Of the FcnIan
outbreak. Very early dispatches reached Mr.
Adams from Washington, on Monday. The
belief was that they related to the Mexican
question. .,
The London Times declares that the sed-
tious movement must be stamped out. The
News srys that England must put it down
relentessly The Telegraph that it must be
crushed with an iron heel. The Star styles
the extreme measures required AN odlous
necessity The Standard demands that those
captured in revolt shall be left to the just rgor
Of the law, and that no appeal from the United
States shall be entertained The Herald, in
referring to the Fenian prisoners in Canada,
SAYS there should be no oop-hole Of escape Tor
further offenders. .u...
The CONTINENT. Mr. Gladstone and Lord
Cowley have had long interviews with the
Pope. 1t was believed at Rome that they

generally supposed will be Malta.

condition All the prisons are full, and two
thousand arrests have been made within ten
days The popular ferment was kept up .by
secret agents. and brigandage was on the III
crease.
Former members of Klapkas Hungarian
Brigade which took service with Prussia dur
ing the recent war with Austria, have been
arrested by the Austrian authorities in Hun
gary. The negotiations for a commercial treat
ty between Prussia and Austria have fallen
through. The London Times states that the
English Government contcmplates empower
ing n commission to report upon the possibility
| of amending the neutrality laws.
There are rumors Of fresh changes to be
made in the French Cabinet.
