Progress in Mnnufacturss.

In an article which we published in this journal in
December last, under the above caption, we referred
at some length to the great soap mandatory of Mr.
j. b. Dohbins, at Sixth street and Germantown
Avenue, predicting that the soap which Mr.. Debbns
manufactures famlarly known as Dobbins' Electric
Soap-was destined to attain degree of popularity
never equalled by any other manufactured article In
this country; and stating that already the cupidty
Of certain envous (would-be) rivals had been excited
by Mr.. Dobbins' unparalleled success.
1t is to the latter of these points that we to-day
wish briefly to direct attention. As great economi
of time and labor, we then gave to Mr.. Dobbins'
Soap the endorsement which its merits deserve, be-
eving that by so doing we should promote the COM
fort and happiness of millions throughout our cities
and the country tlarge. But we unwilling that
our endorsement of a good article shall be falsely
used in order give responsibility and character to
poor limitations of it.. There certain soap manu-
facturers of the more inscriptions class, who after
vainly endesvoring to oist their soap upon the mar
ket under certain names have simply changed their
names, without in the least Improving their washing
properties, and are endeavoring to deude the public
into the adoption of these miserable shams. They
are pretty looking white soaps, but for washing pur
poses are absolutely good for noihing Let the peo-
pie therefore beware One concern has even gone so
far in this deception to advertise Philadelphia Eec.
tfc Soap very nearly initiating his labels, with the
evident design of misleading buyers into the suppo-
| ston that it is the Dobbins article OF course no
honorable wcestablishcd firm would resort to such
trick In fact, We know of respectable firms in the
business who denounce the imposture more severely
than does Mr.. Dobbins himself
We can hardly imagine more disreputable mer-
| camille procedure than these 'played out" soap ma
kers after their soaps have become 'payed out
themselves, endeavorng to resnscitate their desd
failures by resurrectng them in bores, or rather
in the old with labels and pamins them of
| upon unsuspectng dealers aud consumers as "Elec
trc Soap!" 1t lisa wsnder that their audacity has
not impelled them even to the use of Mr.. Dobbns
name to give currency to their worthless trash. Again
we say beware of these limitations Those who have
not yet tried the merits of the genuine Electric Soar
have still real household blessing in store for them
| and We recommend all our readers to avail them
selves of it but let them be careful to buy othe
than that manufactured by Mr.. Dobblns at his i'm

Early Risers.

The recent life of Josiah Quincy has the fol
lowing good anecdote:
One day Mr. John Quincy Adams, who was
addicted to the same vice of Incorporate early
rising, with much the same consequences, was
visiting my father, who invited him to 60 into
Judge Story's lecture room, and hear his lecture
to his law class. Now Judge Story did not ac-
cept the philosophy of his two friends in this
particular, and would insist that it was more
excellent way TO take out ones allowance of
sleepin bed, and be wide awake when out of it
which he himself most assuredly always was.
The Judge received the two Presidents gladly,
and placed them in the seat of homer on the das
by his side, fronting the class, and proceeded
with his lecture. 1t was not long before, glanc-
ing his eyes aside tosee how his guests impress
sed by his doctrine, he saw that they were both
of them sound asleep, and he saw that the class
saw it too. Pausing moment in his swift career
of speech, he pointed to the two sleeping figures,
and uttered these words of warning:
Gentlemen, you see before you melancholy
example of the evil effects of early risingw
The shout of laughter with which this judicial
Obtter dictun, was received effectually aroused
the sleepers, and it is to be hoped they heard

MANAGEMENT OF GRAPE VINEs-George
Husmann, of Hermann, Mo-, one of the most in
telligent grape cultivators of the country, in
report read before the Missouri Horticultural
Society, gives several requisites for success,
founded on extensive experience, of which the
following is the substance: l. Complete under
drainage 2. Moderate bearing-never allowing
vine to be overtaxed with crop, no matter how
robust it may be. 3. Early and close Summer
pruning, for removing useless shoots. 4. Care
fully avoiding late and severe Summer pruning,
which prevents the perfecting of the fruit and
the ripening of the wood of the vine. 5. Des-
truction of insects, the worst of which are the
rose bug, the leaf folder and the white thrip.

No more!- 1T is a shadow fed;
A haunting thought of loved and dead;
A cloud that hovers over earth;
