HOW PAPER COLLARS ARE MADE.

A correspondent describes the process Of ma
king paper collars and cuffs at factory in Bidde-
ford, Me. The paper from which they are formed
comes in large sheets Of the required thickness.
Some forty of these sheets are placed one upon an
other, and then moved under the die which cuts
through the whole, giving the requisite shape to
forty collars. The paper is then moved under the
die again, and forty more cut, and so on to the
end. The button holes are next made. Some
half dozen collars are placed under the dies, and
the three holes cut in each instantly. Next the
collars are placed one at time under die OF
mould which impresses the stitching upon them
and marks the line by which the collar is to be
turned or doubled. The collars are then run
through machine which presses them, and they
are finished. They are then packed in boxes Of
ten each, and ten of these boxes put in larger
one, when they are ready for market
The cuffs are cut with dies after the same man
ner as the collars, the button holes cut by similar
method; then they are stitched and then packed
for market. Three styles of collars are made
plain enamel and linen surface, the paper being
finished in particular manner for each OF these
different styles The average size Of necks is IA!
inches. Some collars are made l63 inches long
but most are sold 144, IA and Is inches. The
present capacity of this mandatory is 25 900 col
lars day, but with new cutting machine near
lily ready, its capacity will be more than doubled

THE PAPER DON'T SAY.

A few evenings ago, farmer Slocum was reading
an account of dreadful accident which had oc-
Cured at factory in the next town, and which
the village editor had described in great many
hard words. II declare, wife, that was an awful
accident over tew the mills, !" said Mr.. s. "What
was it about, Mr.. Slocum2" ''ID read the count,
wife, and then you'll know all about it" MIR.
Slocum began to read:

large drums" ['sI wonder if twas a bass drum,

Mrs. Slocum, when he became entangled. Hs
arm was drawn around the drum, and finally his
entire body was whirled over the shaft at fearful
rate. When his situation was discovered, ne had

WHAT I SAW.

II E. - H
One Sunday morning, chanced to stray
Into church not far away; f.'S -. -
The people had assembled there ;
To serve the Lord with psalms and prayer.
Tventured IN and sought q seat,
For here, thought, all christians meet.
trudged along, up through the aisle,
Met here q stare and there smile.
Nothing daunted, on went, sr.
And toward pew my steps bent;
Ientered In and sat me down.
The occupant began to frown;
Dainty skirts were drawn aside,
The space between us grew very wide.
= looked around and heaved sigh,
This church was not fof such IS L g
My dress was old, but kept with care
Hands were brown, and worse-were bare
Twas poor and they were rich - -l
Could they fellowship with ''sich?"
Before me, In gorgeous array, ~.
A lady sat, that Sabbath day; -tt aaf
A waterfall, of thrilling size, ~ -ea
Bedecked her head and filed her eyes; l.
And something else was on her head,
With nameless gimcracks oyerspread- So
cannot tell what all was on it Et
I'spose she wore 1t for .bonnetI" ;.-3
aFrom pride, vain glory" I heard her say,
Next to her sat a male exquisite,
Or something else-perhaps, 'swhat is It"
His hair was parted straight behind,
Poodle style, the frizzliest kind; 40
And mouStache, too, with Such curl,
'Twould break the heart Of any girl!
His taper fingers, 'circled with rings,
I Thought but ,come,, wore such things.
sEye-giass he used, with genteel stare,
Respied me, and began to glare;
And then he turned his glass around,
And viewed the lady up and down.
Her water5all-he fingered there
'spose he thought twas natural hail"
And never dreamed Of rags and wool
Being used to stuff them out 80 full. ~
Well pleased was he with his survey 5s
he lowered his glass and turned away.
"a terrible flutter commenced In the choir,
Toshriek the loudest each seemed to aspire
Upperuttic it was-a screech and strain
May never hear the like again.
The sermon was beyond comprehenslon-.
The subiect, war and political contention.
I listened to 1t al, but not a word
Did Understand of what heard.
It ended at Last, and such an array ~
AS met my eyes that Sabbath day!
Immaculate kids, Of every hue,
And lovely toilets met my view;
From futtering 'kerchiefs odors rose
That quite entrmced my plebian nose.
A stately dame, both large and tall,
Jostled me AGAINST the wall; sgts g.-s s.
T gathered up my ancient dress, e.,
And toward the door began to press
But there they'd stopped to have chat.
To tell Of this and hear Of that
sBelinda's ball was sstch 3 success?'
nAraminta wore that love Of dress"
Augustus Edward had just come down
"How very fortunate he was in town."
Vanity, vanity, folly, display,
Waswhat saw that Sabbath day.

too" Says he: Did you put the pin in p Says
7: 'Yes; but it's nothing but pine, and shell
break It like pipe STEM" Says he go slow. =
Well, the dog and I had caught the last pig, and
Uncle Ben was coming leisurely up, knife in hand,
when, sure enough, the pin broke and the old SOW
bore down upon us like brigade with gonga As
I had the pig, I expected the infdriated beast to
attack me, but not 30 she made for Uncle Ben,
and Uncle Ben made for the fence. For q mo-
ment stood stock STILL almost paralysed with fear
lest the SOW should overtake him. at length,
however, I thought of my own safety, andmad
for the same friendly structure, which reached
just in time to see Uncle Ben still going itas if the
SOW had crossed the fence when he did. Partly
for mischief, and partly to let the old gentleman
know that all danger was over, shouted: Uncle
Ben, 60 slow" At this, he pulled up, andmakng
towards thefence where sat; saidin tone Of voice
very unusual with him: 'Thad, you're fool, sit
ting on the fence hoIering go slow, instead of
knocking that Internal old brute on the head with
q ightwood knot, and she . tearin' my very hind
sites off, made handsome apology to Uncle
Ben, and suggested that We might finish marking
that pig, but he excused himself and went off in q
sort of huff As he turned to 90, ! discovered
that what he called his hind sites was the seat of
his .breeches, which the old SOW had torn away
Just as he was clearing the fence. 80 81 -.
From the incidents of that day, which are still
fresh in my memory, have drawn the following
conclusions, applicable to our present condition:
lst It seems to me that the North is as much
infuriated as Old Blue Dinah was. j. "a
ID That the organic law we are told to rely up
on is about as reliable as an organic pine pin

At IL o'clock, NJ, the troops we're under arms,

the music playing the march Of Washington Cross
ing the river from Valley Forge, and the glorious
colors were waving in defiance to Brigham Young,

On the Goth of March, 1860, orders arrived from
Camp Floyd, that General Sidney Johnston had
been relieved and ordered in command of the De-
partment of the Pacific, where General Clark. the
father-in-law of our Post Commander, Col. Bonn
ford, had died This put Col Charles +. Smith
in command of Camp Floyd, and Major Candy in
command of the 10th Infantry, stationed at Camp
Floyd. The same evening, at retzsat Major Can
by turned over the command to Gatin, and the
second morning after, started for Camp Floyd. |
remember it was one of the coolest and stormiest
mornings Of that winter; but nothing could induce
him to delay one moment; the order had been re-
ceived, and Candy was the last of men to shrink
duty. This was the last time I saw Col. Candy,
until January, 1868, at Harrisburg. >.
In May, 1860, the army in Utah was divided,
and Col Candy was ordered, with part Of the 10th
Infantry, 5th Infantry, and End Dragons, to Fort
Garland, New Mexico, While in command in
New Mexico, the late war broke out, and Candy
was appointed, on the Sd Of May, 1861, Colonel
10th United States Infantry Shortly after, he
had to fight some Of his best friends whom he had
known in the army for years,-Major Sibley, the
inventor of the Sibley tent and many Others The
country which had raised him, the flag he was
born under, were paramount to everything, and he
never faltered moment in his allegiance to duty.
In some paper have seen it stated that Col. Can
by failed to show courage in New Mexico, fighting
Sibley and others This is false. There are men
in this State, who fought under Candy at that time
and they know better. -
What action Gen. Candy took after being re-
lieved as Acting and Assistant Secretary of War,
in 1862 the people at large know and it is not nee
essary to repeat. -.
All wish to say, in conclusion, is this: North
and South Carolina are fortunate to have him as q
Commander. Let all politicians, red, white or
green, stay away from him, and he will do justice
to all. Certainly know this he is firm, he knows
no party, and he obeys the instructions and orders
of his superiors t
Excuse my long writing, am an old soldier,
who have seen good many hard days with our new
Commander. OLD SOLDIER.
