Silk.

Within the last twenty-fiv years,
more than one hundred millions of dol
lars have been paid, in the shape of du-
ties upon raw silk imported into the
Uuited States. This will give a fair
idea of the extent to which the manu-
facture of silk has been carried in this
country. Paterson and Newark, New
Jersey, are the principal seats of silk
manufature in this country, containing
several extensive factories, and the bus
mess Is carried on to some extent in
Pennsylvania and the New England
States. In 1860 the annual production
of manufactured silk in the United
States was estimated at S2,O00,OO0, but it
has no doubt largely increased by this
time. The process of working up silk.
into tram organizes, sewing silks and
machine twist, trimmings, cords and
tassels, fringes and gimps, neck-ties,
beltings, upholstering goods, gauzes,
sarsnets, heavy dress goods, velvet, and
plushes, and mixed goods, require
great skill, but has met with success
and if we could obtain sufficient guam
tity of ihe raw material without high
duties for it, the business could hardly
fail to become an important one.
Silk is originally a Chinese raanufac-
ture, but like most of the ancient arts,
its origin is wrapped in the mists of OBJ
scurity. 1t was in the course of time
transferred to Greece, and, after -four
ishing in that country awhile, spread to
Italy, where it became one of the lead
ing staples of export. The Italians
b,v;n,S constructed primitive but inge-
Mons nacina :i;asss for weaving the cloth,
held in their hands for 4 ''GSng G..gs, period
firm monopoly of the manufacture
But at length, ii is said, British artist
went to Italy, bribed a monk who had
access to manufactury, and in one
night made full drawings of the ma
chinery, which he took to England and
thus broke up the monopoly. But in
the latter country as in the United
States, silk culture and manufacture
has not made much progress.
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 inn
ported principally from France The
annual foreign trade balances against us
are largely the result of heavy imports
of these costly fabrics, and if we succeed
in developing an industry that shall
ultimately obviate the necessity of going
abroad for our silks, our country will be
benefited to the extent Of many millions
Of dollars annually.

PluckY Schoolhoys.

A French paper says that the pupils
of the College of Rennes rebelled one
night in November. Revolt
was directed against one of the ushers,
who was nearly killed in striving to en-
forcercspect tforauthority. The little rev.
olutionists buried him underneath mat
tress, and was in the act Of smotherng
him when the arrival Of the inspector
gave the man all opportunity of cxtri-
ca G himself. Nevertheless the superb
or functionary could not make himself
obeycd, and was obliged to threaten the
intervention Of the military. 10 which
one OF the insurgents proudly replied
$50 much the better, that will give us
arns!'' The comedy ended by the ex.
pulsion ofeighty-fou: Of tho pupils.

What We shall get from Asia.

When trade once fairly opens between
our Pacific States and their opposites in
Asia, we shall find that the swarming
laborers of that vast hive of population
will furnish us thousand things to
contribute to our comfort and enjoy
ment, at rates that appear exceedingly
small compared with prices that are
paid for similar articles of use and lux
ury made in Europe and in this country.
a ship-load ofChinesc wares Was recent
ly seized by the custom-oflicers of San
Fancisco, and the invoice contained ar
tices like the following:
Handsome sets Of porcelain, bought
for four dollars set.
Beautiful fans, painted by hand in
brilliant colors, with figures of dragons
and Chinese beauties, purchased at a
cent each.
Spades for garden use, bought in Chi
ma, at the cost of few cents each.
Straw hats of good quality, invoiced
at cent each. .....
Nice baskets, in sets of four, costing in
the Celestial Kingdom but four cents a
set.
And other commodities, the product
of Chinese industry, procured in that
country at prices proportionateiy small
We bear that some of those articles are
to be sent on to the Atlantic coast rs il
lustrations of the abundance of labor in
the market Of China, the marYriously
small cost Of which all commodities of
Chinese handiwork can be procured,
and the still more marvelously small
cost at which a family can make a shift
to subsist in a country where labor is so
exceedingly cheap.
The Farm 4: Fresi7e says: "By cut
ting back with knife, the foliage of the
interior of any evergreen hedge is more
perfectly preserved than by shearing
a smooth surface like wall, which
makes the surface only extremely dense
| and tends to exclude light from the inte.
| rior."

ROAD LAWs.-The Decorah Repub1i-
can says that the Board of Supervisors
of that county have adopted resolutions,
asking their Senators and Representa-
tives to use their influence in remodel
ing the Iowa Road Laws. This is a
work which it is hoped will be looked
upon as an important one, by our Legis-
lature. TO begin with, there are, in our
judgment, comparatively few legal rec
ords of roads i'm this part Of the State,
and it is reasonable to suppose that un-
der the present laws, the same state of
things will be found to exist in every
part of Iowa. Irregularities Of all kinds
in the manner OF locating the -Soads
originally, and irregularities in the
manner of procuring and making such
changes as have been deemed necessary,
have conspired to make county road
records SO obscure and contradictory
that in many cases the fact could not be
legally established whether certain roads
starting out from important cities OF

An old lady, a professor of the washer
woman's art, had managed to scrape to-
gether sufficient means to build small
house and barn in the country. One af-
ternoon, soon after she was comfortably
established in her new home, a black
cloud was seen in the west, and before
many minutes IL tornado swept through
her small property, scattering the tim
bcrs Of her little barn in every direction.
Coming out of her kitchen and seeing
the devastation the storm had made, the
old lady at first could not find words to
express her Indignation, but at last she
exclaimed: "Wcll, here's a pretty busi-
ness! No matter, though; I'll pay you
for this-I'll wash on Sunday

Bfsse \ fire occurred in London few
weeks ago, at which al intrepid sailor
named William Lyon, who was looking
on, plunged into the burning building
and rescued woman who had fallen
senseless from sutlocation. The un-
daunted tar then heard that child was
in the second story, but the child, it
seems, had been taken out when the
alarm was first given. Before he could
grope his way back, the staircase took
fire and fell. The flames pressed him
more closely every second. He decided
to take flying leap from second story
window. He jumped, breaking his arm,
and injuring his head so severely that
for two weeks he lay delrous in hos
pital. When his senses returned he
found the Lonuon public had subscribed
nearly $1,000, to be handed him as q
recognition Of his herosn.

points in Iowa or 10 Jerusalem by way
of Alaska. The South must have ex-
celled us in this respect, or else Sher-
man in his grand march to the sea
would not have been heard from to this
day. 1t is very certain that military
commander, marching in Iowa by some
of the road records we have seen, would,
whatever might have been his destina-
ton, finally bring up in the Insane
Asylum with nomeans of retreat. There
is, too, disposition everywhere to turn
the main roads OF the country out upon
the very poorest ground. If the corner
of some mans farm falls in All un-
fathomable slough, and such corners
frequently do, there will you find the
road, il it can be found at all. If there
is high knob in the country, accom-
plished with the steonest side hill in the
State, it will generally be noticed that
the main road leads directly overit. In
many cases of road locations, the pre-
servation Of section lines or farm bound
aries seem to be regarded as of more inn
portance than either lateral or vertical
curvature, and strange as it may seem,
many of our agriculturalists who take
special pains to facilitate the operations,
and promote the comfort of the teams
upon their farms, are satisfied with jam
ming them over highways untitled for
the locomotion of anything but Rocky
Mountain sheep. 1t certainly seems
fair to consult the rights and interests
of the travelling public, who occupy all
parts of important roads with scarcely
moments interruption, as we'll as those
of the landowners through whose
grounds such roads May be constructed.
