ods s Trade, ao5 sdl r E
Il A few Of the merchants of Louis
vile have been making 3spasmodic
effort to galvanize its Board of Trade
into life, and to this end some, special
meetings have been held. At the
last meeting, held on Monday, al
which the report says 'sthe attendance
was SMALL yarriio Us il matters touching

who were in business thirty and forty
years ago. He said they must wake
up and compel the old fogfies to fall

merchants did not attend the meet
ings of the Board; he was determined
to keep them up himself, and y if if no
body else attended, he would make
the Secretary mount the lrostrum and
read the dispatches to him solitary
and alone. He said one trouble with
too many Of the Louisville merchants
was" that they thought more of their
bellies than their business. ~ baa baI
A number Of grievances and OBJ /
stacles to the free and increased
trade of the city were stated, but
that which will most interest our
readers were the remarks Of Colonel
MAY, Of the Louisville and Tennes-
see=RiYer Packets. He stated that
the Louisville merchants could not be
induced to patronize their own boats.
He had two boa in the Tennessee
River trade, and, Notwithstanding the
Board of Trade had paid about
1000 to reimburse him for losses, he
had lost from 10000 t0g $4,000, an
had concluded to-abandon IL. Col.

The MICROSCOPE IN A WooLEN FAcTo-
RY.-The following is an extract from pri-
vate letter in the Journal of Commerce
While at Vernon / stepped into wooden fac
tory. The most interesting object was the
machine for mapping" clcth, "a cylinder,
provided with teeth like carding machine,
which, revolving against the cloth, maps, =
it. 1t was, however in the construction of
the machine, and not the mechanism or use,
that l was interested. The teeth referred
to, instead of being of wire as one would
expect, are formed by placing in juxtapo-
sition in iron frames great numbers of tea
sels, gigantic huckle-burs, the spears OF
which, all curved in the same direction, as
sharp, strong and elastic. Upon inquiry if
the use of these burs was novel or economi-
cal, l was told that they had been used a
hundred years, and no artificial substitute
for them had been devised.
The revelations of the microscope explain
the superiority of the teasel over the handi-
work of man. Under the microscope, all
nature points, the points of the thistle, tor
example, are absolutely sharp, appearing as
sharp under a magnifying power of 5000
diameters as to the naked eye whereas the
finest points made by man, as those OF cam
brio needles, under the microscope are seen
to be b:unt. 1t is impossible for man to
make points as sharp as those of the teasels.
We may presume, therefore, that these or
ganic cards will be found in factories so
long as cloth is mapped.

The political economists of the frontier
are discussing the question Of the best means
of exterminating the Indian race. They
suggest in turn systematic killing, stary alton,
whIskey, depriring them of their horses,
inciting internal wars, and many other IN
genious and murderous expedients. They
forget that history establishes the fact that
an Andersonville system is the easiest,
cheapest, surest, and most rapid method of
ertermination And besides, should foreign
governments take exception to the whole
idea as an offence against nations, the De
mocracy could prove it to be humane and

SONG OF SUMNER.

Is.f by leaf in summer creeping,
Plover by flower her glory reaping-
Harvest of the rolling spheres;
cloud by cloud the sky is freighted,
And to every bud belated
They have stopped in dewy tears.
.Dsy by day tbs fiocks are keeping
Watch upon the silent hills,
And The neon breeze there is sleeping
To the cradle song Of rilis;
Ram by beam the sun is stealing
Into the hearts of all the flowers,
lnd those crimson hearts revealing
Something that's akin to ours.
p;-d and bee have spread the tidings,
Neadoy-ward in golden swarms.
.nd The seasons hrst rude chidings
Wsutou now in wealth of charms;
An things worship, cen the flower
Folds At eve its crimson palms.
Month BY month the moons intrusion,
l.sspsctrs in the dark,
Moves in phsnto m like illusion
All the yernal bloom to mark;
And the azure arch Of hours
Measpres cut the SINNERS douers.
Nigh, BY night the sea Of darkness,
Drifting shoreward to the sun
Marks the earth with silent beauty
Ere the dusky round is run;
And the eye beholds in waking
New perfections just begun.
Pulse by pulse our life is 1eeting
Where unclouded mornings beam
Down the vale of years retreating,
Like a white mist Ger q stream
Soon graye-mist will be yelling
All things in long desth-dream.

GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY. Sen
aaei, published at jacksonville. Oregon,
on the 18th ult. says: Several of our citi-
s.ns returned last week from visit to the
great ,Sunkin Lake, situated in Cascade
Mountains, about seventy-Gve miles north
east from Jacksonville. This lake rivals
the famous valley of Sinbad the sailor. 1t
is thought to average 1000 feet down to
the water all round. The walls are almost
perpendicular, running downinto the water,
and leaving no beach. The depth of the
water is unknown, and its surface is smooth
and unruffled, and it lies so far below the
surface of the mountain that the air currents
do not effect it. Its length is estimated at
twelve miles, and its breadth at ten. No
living man ever has, and probably never will
be able to reach the waters edge 1t lies
silent. still, and mysterious in the bosom OF
the everlasting hills, like huge well,
scooped out By the giant genii of the noun
tain in unknown ages gone by, and around 1t
thc primeval forest watch and ward are
keeping. The visiting party fired a rifle
scveral times into the water at an angle OF
iorty-fve degrees and were able to denote
several seconds of time from the report of
the gun until the ball struck the water.
Such seems incredible, but is vouched for
by some of our most trustworthy citizens
The lake is certainly a most remarkable
curiosity'
