COFFEE AND CoTToN IN BRAZIL. "A
Brazilian paper, dated August 7, says
that everybody conours in anticipat-
ing the largest harvest ever gathered
in coffee. Every year new planta-
tions are coming into bearing, and
the yield of the trees is particularly
abundant this season. Of cotton,
likewise, the anticipations are very
sanguine.

before granted to any sovereign"

PHrnADnnpH1A MANUFACTURES.

PHInADELPHn MANUFACTURES :
We are somewhat astonished to no.
tice that the Quaker City of Philadel-
phia puts forth claim to being, not
only the greatest manufacturing city
Oh this continent, but, with the ex-
ception of London, the greatest in
the world. We are all familiar with
its advantages as q quiet and pleasant
place of residence; but that it should
claim to be q great Industrial centre.
will be news to many. AS the matter
is one, however, in which our mer-
chants are directly interested, and
consumers of goods indirectly, we
will give brief synopsis of its
claims. In 1850, according to the
census returns, there were in Phila-
delphia, 6, 298 manufactures, having
capital of S73, ,31S,S ,SS5, which en-
ployed $4,000 hands, and produced
an annual value of $l36, 100000. Re-
Gently, Mr.. Edwin II. Freedley, a
well known author, has prepared
volume of 700 pages, on the manu-
factures of Philadelphia, and demon
strates that, in 1866, the factories
produced over ttco Amptled millions of
dollars Of staple goods. This is an
astounding exhibit; no other city on
the American continentapproximates
this amount. In 1855, the State of
Massachusetts, including Boston,
Lowell, and all h : famous manufac
turing towns, did not produce more
than two hundred and forty millions.
In 1860, New York had only seven
small cotton goods manufactures,
and no woolen mills; Philadelphia is
now the commercial centre Of two
hundred and sixty cotton and woolen
factories, and has, besides, several
thousand hand looms, Of which the
annual product is equal to that of
seventy additional mills of average
size. The class of dry goods manu-
factured in Philadelphia is of those
low-priced staple goods, which are
especially adapted to the wants of the
people in the Mid lie, Western and
Southern States. Millions of Yards
of pantaloonery, cottonades, checks
and stripes, tickings, osnaburgs,
Kentucky jeans, and narrow textile
fabrics, are made there every year.
Of carpetings, the product amounts
to nearly ten millions of dollars; of
ready-made clothing, to eighteen
millions; of refined sugar, over twen-
ty millions; of boots and shoes, over
five millions; of stoves, nearly three
millions. Philadelphia claims to have
the largest military goods manufac-
tory, the largest chemical factories,
the largest cordagc factory, the
largest book-selling house, and the
largest locomotive works and ma
chine shops in the United States.
1t is quite evident, that her proximity
to the coal mines and iron beds, her
low rents and facilities afforded me
chanics for comfortable and economi-
cal living, have given Philadelphia a
start in manufacturinn which moth
ing but her want of enterprise can
retard. 1t is, moreover, evident that
with the progress already made in
manufacturing, the Philadelphia mar
ket is worthy the attention OF those
who wish to purchase goods at first
hand.

Go TO WoRK.-There are more or
less young men in every State, spend
ing their time in idleness, without q
dollar in their pockets, and living at
the expense of friends or by their
wits, waiting in a lackadaisical con-
dltlon for something to turn up to
their advantage. These drones in
the hive Of human industry arc pests
and eye-sores i'll any community
where found. Some of them, who
have obtained heretofore IL living
through the labor of others, are in q
kind of Rip Van Winklo sleep, hop
ing to be aroused some fine day with
ancientinstitutions restored. Others
lack the requisite capacity, or have
not the energy to go at some work to
make themselves independent.
There is large class, too, who con-
slider it akin to crime to soil their
hands by labor. All these classes
ought to know by this time that they
are sponges i'll the community and
should always be made to feel it.
10 each and all of these classes we
would say go to work. If you are
not competent to engage in one
branch of industry, try another; and
keep trying, and the open sesame will
be found sooner or later. At all
events, go to work. Take five acres
of land, more or less, if you cannot
DO better, and put in q small crop;
but go to work. Drive dray; go q
fishing or bobbing for cells. Go to
work, loiterer about the streets, wait
ing for something impracticable to
turn up. Go to work, young man
you, we mean, who is burthen to
an over-indulgent parent-a poor
father, poor mother, perhaps. The
world is moving-progress is the
watch-word. Be not left behind or
crushed out by your fellows possess
ing more energy of character. Go
to work.

Last week we propounded question-asking
some one to furnish us the chemical rationale
which will account for the fact that ice melts
when brought in contact with salt. The follow
ing solution has been received:
''When a solid can be made to lquify by a
chemical attraction, cold results from sensible
heat becoming latent When snow pounded
ice is mixed with salt and thermometer plunged
in the mass, the mercury sinks to % (Fah.) while
the whole after a short period becomes fluid by
the attraction between the water and the salt''
ter and salt have chemical airity for each 9TH
er so strong that the salt will withdraw the water
even from the solid ice; just iron has strong
an affinity for oxygen that it will withdraw it
even from other combinations to form the oxide
of iron, commonly called rust. ZADIG.
