The New York Tribune says:-"We have a
fine sample of sewing silk and twist made at
cocoons snun this season at that place by worms
fed on the common black and white mulberry,
whereof thousands are growing wild and as
shade.trees throughout that region. The
cocoons' after being soaked in weak solution
of soan and water, were reeled on an old time
little wheel used by our grandmothers for
spinning flax. We do not of course, urge a
General resort to such rude, ineffective pro-
eesses; but we trust the day is not distant when
silk will be made throughout at least the Middle
States of our Union. This would give remune-
rative employment to millions offeeble, decrepit,
or young persons who are now idle and useless.
We commend the planting OF few mulberries
on every farm by way of preparation for the
silk of the future.n
Gold IN Austria is quoted at 45 per cent, In
Italy at l6 per cent, Prussia at par.

lutely nothing of the pretended insurrection,
except that the part of the island where it is
said to have taken place is inhabled by several
Creole families who are not, as general thing,
friendly to the Spanish Government.
Possibly these families may have given vent
to their dissatisfaction by some demonstration
OF threatening character; but the Governor
denies that any fighting between the citizens
and the Spanish army had occurred, or that
any portion OF the latter had joined the in

The news of the uprising of the blacks, as we'll
as the arrival of o Chilian feet, with two thou

rumor OF an insurection to the gathering of a
few hundred Cubans upon one of the squares OF
Puerto Principe for the purpose of protesting
against the present Cabinet and of assocating
themselves in feeling with the revolutionists OF

"To dig or not to Dig that's the question"
When SHAKESPEARE gave expression to this sentiment,
he little thought that 1t would form the subject for
debate before the worshpul City Council of Charleston
g. O. But truth is stranger than fiction. The impossible
has come to pass. The City Council Is in quandary
They have recently taken very strong ground in favor Of
"stioking to an ancient ordinance, forbidding the
turning up Of the soil within the limits Of the city dur
Ing the summer months. Particularly are they pune
tous In the the Charleston Street Railway The
streets must by be turned up to lay the track
True the earth is dug and turned every day In thous
and yards and gardens and one the worse, or the
wiser fori
But now East Bay and Broadstreet are to be paved
must be paved at once. Paving, however, cannot be
done very well without turning the soil. Now what is
to be done An astute Alderman comes to the aid Of
bis oompeers and endeayors to help them off the horn
Of the dilemma on which they are 80 uncomfortably
perched He suggests to Council that scratching the
street tie. and filling up with salt water sand from
the beach, is not in oontrsyention of the ordinance.
And how is it with the street drains Can they be
cleaned without turning up the soil Are they not be-
ing cleaned nowf By whose authority is this cleaning
Of the drains conducted
Now who is to decide this very interesting question
In dio or not to dR. DIG-NITAs.
