SILK - w Wlthln tue last twenty 0v0
years, more than one hundred millions
of dollars have been paid. in the shape
of duties, upon raw silk imported into
the United States. This will give
fair idea of the extent to which the
manufacture Of silk has been carried in
this country. Patterson and Newark,
New Jersey, are the principal seats Of
silk manufacturing in this country, con-
tanning several extensive factories. and
the business is carried on to some ex-
tent in Pennsylvania and the New Eng
land States. In 1860 the annual pro-
duction of manufactured silk in the
United States was estimated at $4,000
900, but it has nodoubt largely increased
by this time. The process of working
up silk into tram organzine, sewing silks
and machine twist, trimmings, cords
and tassels, fringes and gimps, neck
ties, beltings, upholstering goods, gauz-
es, sarsnets, heavy dress goods, velvets
and pushes, and mixed goods, requires
great skill, but has met with success
and if we could obtain sufficient guam
tity of the raw material without high
duties for it, the business could hardly
fail to become an important one.
Silk is originally a Chinese manufac-
ture, but, like most of the ancient arts,
its origin is wrapped in the mists of
obscurity. 1t was in the course of time
transferred to Greece, and after flourish
ing in that country awhile, spread to
Italy, where it became one of the lead
ing staples of export. The Italians
having constructed primitive but ingen-
ious machines for weaving the cloth,
held in their hands, for a long period, q
firm monopoly of the manufacture. But
at length, it is said, British artist went
to Italy, bribed monk who had access
to mandatory, and in one night made
full drawings OF the machinery, which he
took to England, and thus broke up the
monopoly. But in the latter country,
as in the Uni ed States, silk culture and
manufacture has not made much pro-
gress. -~--sas - ..s5s-.... s..s -
The silk imported into our own cOun-
try for manufacturing purposes comes
mainly from India, China, and Japan,
while the elegant fabrics Of silk are i'm
ported principally from France. The
annual foreign trade balances against US
are largely the result of heavy imports
of those costly fabrics, and if we sue
ceed in developing an industry that
shall ultimately obviate the necessity of
going abroad for our silks, our country
will be benefited to the ext ent of many
millions of dollars annually.

Extraordinary Scene In a Penitentiary-
Attempted Escape OF Three Hundred
ARfa


From the NdShvile Press and Times, May ID.
A portion of the high wall encircling the in
closure containing the workshops connected
with the Penitenliary, has been taken down in
the rear to enlarge the space, 1T having been
found too crowded The breach which opens
into the fields back of the Penitentiary has been
carefully guarded, and not the least apprehen-
sion had been entertained of any attempt at
escape in that quarter
Yesterday at dinner, however, Martin Coffee
a desperate character, who was sentenced to
fifteen years confinement, for robbery, at the
last session of the Criminal Court. and who has
been incarcerated in the penttentiary but few
days, sprang to his feet, and brandishing a
large knife over his head, called out, in start.

these startling words, Coffee sprang towards
the door, followed by motley crowd OF oespe.
rate men, black and white, whom the nope OF
liberty had suddenly wrought up Into un-
Wonted daring The guards, anticipating no
demon stration while the prisoners were col
lected at dinner, had retired q little, and were
lounglng In the shade.
Coffee still cutching the murderous knife,
rushed TO the spot where the wall had been
taken down, and made furious onslaught
upon the man who disputed his progress The
man, evading the weapon with Wnlcn the
mutineer was armed, felled him to the ground
with billet OF wood. On the instant the
guards rushed up, and the crowd Wnlch tol-
lowed their now vanquished leader were over
aWed and dispersed Into the enclosure. The
putiny had been quelled on the moment, and
fortunately without a shot being nred, or
man save the leader, hurt. Coffee is a despe-
rate man and since his incarceration has been
sowing the seeds of the conspiracy which de-
was made the subject OF severe prison dis

AFTER THE BALL.

They sat and oombed their beautiful hair
Their long bright tresses one by one,
AS they laughed and talked in their chamber
there,
After the revel was done.
Idly they talked of waltz and quadrille.
Idly they laughed, like other girls,
Who over the fire, when all is still.
Comb out their braids and curls.
Robes Of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots of flowers, and ribbons, too,
Scattered about in every place,
For the revel is through.
And Maud and Madge in robes of white,
The prettiest night-gowns under the sun.
Stockingless slipperless, sit in the night,
For the revel is done.
Sit and comb their beautiful hair.
These wonderful waves of brown and gold,
'Till the fire is out in the chamber there.
And the little bare feet are cold.
Then out of the gathering Winter chill.
All out of the bitter st. Agnes weather,
While the FIRE is out the house is still,
Maud and Madge together
Maud and Madge in robes of white,
The prettiest night-gowns under the sun,
Curtained away from the chilly night,
After the revel is done.
Float along in a splendid dream,
To golden gitterns tinkling tune,
While thousand lustres shmmering stream
In palaces grand saloon.
Flashing of jewels and flutter of laces,
Tropical odors sweeter than musk
Men and women with beautiful faces,
And eyes of tropical dusk.
And one face shining out like star
One face haunting the dreams of each,
And one voice, sweeter than the others are
Breaking in silvery speech.
Telling through lips of bearded bloom
An old, old story over again,
AS down the royal hammered ROOM
To the golden gittern's strain,
Two and two they dreamily walk,
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And all unheard in lovers talk,
BE claimeth one for his bride.
o Maud and Madge dream on together,
With never pang of jealous fear !
For, ere the bitter st. Agnes weather
Shall whiten another year,
Robed for the bridal and robed for the tomb,
Braided brown hair and golden tress,
There III only be one of you left for the bloom
OF the bearded lips to press
Only one for the bridal pearls,
The robe of satin and Brussels lace
Only one to blush through her curls
AT the sight of lovers face.
0 beautiful Madge, in your bridal white
For you the revel has just begun;
But for her who sleeps in your arms tonight,
The revel of Life is done
But robed and crowned with your sanity bliss,
Queen of heaven and bride of the sun,
o beautiful Maud, you'll never miss
The kisses another hath won

The niiItonian TabIoaux.

| The Mtltonian Tnbioaux
Notwithstanding the rain last even
ing, Washington Hall was again well
filed with people to witness the Mi
tonian Tableaux of Paradise Lost. The
interest which it excites increases with
each succeeding exhibition, for they are
not paintings to be glanced at and for
COTTON, but rather to be studied and
pondered cover, 7 and hence the de-
sire to see them for several successive
nights. A mere artistic painting clogs
upon the taste by toe frequent sight OF
it, but one which represents soul and
feeling, as this does, displays new beau
ties at every gaze. The great poem
which it illustrates was not written in
| a. day, nor can the tableaux be appreci-
ated IN one evening. As the poem has
been considered worthy sof careful
study, so are the paintings which
represent it, and most profta-
BILE study will it be found, for no
one can gaze upon the spirited scenes
without feeling awe for the deeds and
homo of the Evil One and delight in the
beauties of the heavenly hosts and their
palatial temples. A matinee will be
given this afternoon for the benefit of
families and children. Don't fail to
take the little ones, who ever have a
love for the beautiful, and will enjoy
it full as well as their elders.

Plant Flowers.

Now is the time to plant flowers, and
We hope no one having aplat of ground
will neglect to beautify it with these
natural ornaments. Beautiful to the
sight, grateful in perfume, they tend to
harmonic the soul aud cultivate the
tenderest and truest feelings in MANS
nature, aud bring him closer TO his God.
See how naturally the little cliild, its
soul unccrupted by worldly feslings,
loves and cherishes tho opening buds,
Of which it is an emblem. There is
nothing like flowers for children, and it
is cheap qualification that no parent
should withhold.
