Improved Method of Making PAPER

We have been shown specimens
by Mr.. VIM. Bogel, Of various text
ures and colors Of paper manufactured
BY new process, out Of the bamboo
or common wild cane-a plant indi-
genous to southern soil and found in
great abundance and luxuriance in
our own parish.
This important discovery is destined
to WORK marked revolution in paper
making, presenting, as it does, the
combined advantages Of economical,
machinery and peculiar adaptability
for the conversion of one of the cheap-
est and most inexhaustible Of Natures
spontaneous products into an article
OF great commercial value and uni
versal use.
The process is unattended with any
OF the tedious chemical appliances used
in the ordinary way of paper manu-
featuring. The cane is bzoaou from
what is called "gun' and comes

FEMALE MUsICIANs.-Asth the steamer
M. S. Mepham, Of St. Louis, rounded
to at our landing on Saturday morn
ing last, our citizens were attracted
in large numbers to the river by the
enlivening strains Of music proceeding
from brass band on the boat. The
occasion was rendered all the more
curious and interesting by the fact,
that five of the six performers were
ladies, the leader being Of the male
gender. The cornet, French horn,
trambone ETC., under the graceful and
magic touch of the feminines, dis.
coursed most elegant music.
