WHERE THE OLD CLOTHES Go To.-A
writer in Cdsseps Magazine, the new
London publication, says:
Many of the garments are converted to
fresh ones. The first object of the pur-
chaser is to see if the garment can be re
vived and sold once more as an article OF
dress. 1t is therefore 'clobbered,' OF
mended, supplied with fresh gloss, ard
in this improved condition is re-exported.
A vast quantity Of old clothes find their
way across the Channel to ireland, and
this accounts for the fact that we SO of;
ten notice, that the Irish peasant, when
in ordinary dress, is always to be seen
in swallow-tailed coat of the past gene
ration. Black clothes, il they can afford
the amount of good cloth, are made into
waistcoats but even if there is only a
very little that is unworn, it is purchased
to be cut up and made into caps, for
which there is great mar ket in France;
TO Holland mainly go all the. cast-off
coats of the soldiers. They are there con
rerted into under waistcoats, and used
as protection against the damp OF that
country, the Hollanders having a prefer
enee tor. red cloth for this purpose, as it
is supposed TO be, and indeed is, "a great
er a6sorber of heat than any other color.
The officers coats, of course, serve many
purposes before they reach Mynheer: If
We go along Holy wen street we see that
there are plenty of them hanging up for
sale, and if we ask the salesman what be
comes of them, we find that they are sold
for masquerades; but many that are too
much worn for that purpose will still
yield enough sound cloth to make fac
ings for the civic officials of the northern
powers. This fact / learned from man
in the trade, but should fancy that
Prussia at least, now that she has grown
more powerful, is above putting her ser
wants into the cast-off fnery of other ma, ma
tions. - .,i {.

SOCIAL CONDITION OF .ENGLAND.-The
London Review deyotes its leading arti-
Gle for the new year to a retrospect and
a confession. The confession is certainly
candid: -....
"At this time there is no country, no
matter how embarrassed or how poor, in
which there is so much pressing and pain
tul poverty, SO much vice, so much mis-
cry, as in England. We have failed with
our lower classes to such all extent that
in the country we find some of them
working like cattle, fed and housed worse
than cattle, while in the towns We do
not know what to do with them until
they are ripe for dropping into the seeth-
ing pool of vice and crime. With all our
wealth, and England is wealthy coun-
try, we have not succeeded in distribut-
ing happiness or content in the proper
ton of which we could be proud. ~ We
find massed against us gloomy and
threatening spirit of INSTRUMENTATION, and
4 gathering of Ominous elements, from
which voices are heard, that having bro
ken down in our task we should give it
up-to those who will change all things.
Criticism is no longer function limited
to one class. Our future masters begin
to take stock and value ofus. 5as -4
"In that social life in which most of us.
are concerned, which may be placed above
the reach Of sordid wants, can we congra-
tulate ourselves upon distinct advance? :?
Around us on all sides we learn OF fami-
lies living upon fictitious incomes, we find
a rate of increase in the taste for luxuries
so incommensurate with the means for
getting them honestly, that people salts
fy the craving with recklessness which
brings ruin upon them. Comfort is a
word the meaning of which is beginning
to disappear. Every one desires to be
rich, and those who are not rich keep up
the pretense until the wolf is at tie door." ;"

How NAILS ARE MADE.-James A.
Parton has been to Pittsburgh, and writes
to the atlantic Monthly concerning what
he found there We extract the follow.
ing relating to nails. -.,,
"Nails are made thus 1, Pig iron is
rolled into long bars; 2, These bars are
cut into lengths of one loot; 8, These
lengths are piled into heaps of nine ); 4,
These heaps of nine are rolled into sheets
as thick as the nail is to be; 5. These
sheets are cut into strips little wider
than the nail is to be leng; 8, These
strips are cut into nails by the mailing
machine, which also heads the nails rs
they fall A man holds the strip of iron
in the machines jaws, which instantly
bites off nail. But pail tapers off from
the head to the point, and consequently
the strip has to be turned over before the
machine can be allowed to bite again.
But for this necessity of turning, the strip
men could be dispensed with. Imagiue
a room four-times as large as the interior
OF Trinity church, with rows of nail ma
chimes as close together as sewing ma
chimes in clothing factory, and all on
full champ, some biting off spikes three
to pound, and others nippiug tacks at
the rate of thousands per minute.
The most enterprising establishments
employs two hundred and ten men, for
ty boys, and twenty-five girls; consumes
one hundred and fifty tons of iron per
week makes two hundred and fifty kinds
of nails, tacks and brads makes in a
week two thousand four hundred kegs of
nails; one hundred and fifty boxes of
tacks, one hundred pounds to box; and
one hundred boxes of brads."

1Esus CoSouER1NG THE WORLD.

| JESUS CoNQUERING THE WORLD
Since we were children the world has
been thrown open. The walls of China
are crumbIing, and almost gone; the
ports of Japan are taken; the Islands of
Madagascar is giving way the dark land
of Africa is opening up; the icy-bound
shores of the Earth are being warmed by
the Gospel, and its cooling breath is, be-
ing breathed over the tropics The Cos
pei is spreading, for Christ has all power
in heaven and in earth; and what we
have seen is foretaste of the future Tell
me that India, China and Africa, and the
cannibals cannot be converted | tell you
they can, for Jesus has all power. They
belong to our Christ, and he sends us to
preach the Gospel to them, and they shall
bow before the cross. 80
1t is not only thus in empire that the
cause is extending, for look around me,
and almost hear Il Q voice Of God, in the
very clements. This world is becoming
great brotherhood; the nations are
drawing together. Oceans used to divide
them, and men were afraid of the billows
and of the winds. l often wondered, in
my boyish days, when Jesus spent 80
much time by the Sea of Gallilee, why it
was said he walked on the water, that he
spake to the winds and the waves, and
they were still but, as Ehave grown
older, and looked at the destiny of this
earth, that tits all to be brought togeth-
er; the oceans are to be the highways
upon which millions will find their rliving,
see the beauty and significance of Je-
sus walking upon the surfce of the wa.
ter, sleeping in the holds of the little
ships, aud calm in the midst of tile storm,
laying down to sleep, and saying: 'The
sea is mine. "sfH-'.E- i' l..'2-.1 ''.t T'''

What is all this !? 1t is Jesus conquer
ing the world. The iron, the steam, and
the lightning are his; he made all OF them
long before man found ou: their powers
God has placed chem in the world All
power is his, and he has given them to
us that the earth may be converted to
God. God grant that we may work in
harmony with His laws, may feel His pow

nifty, may all come forward with our

Alleged Attempt 70 Defraud the Governmeut.
An attempt to defraud the government was frus-
trated yesterday afternoon at the Paymaster Generals
ONCE by the discovery Of forgery just In time to
prevent the payment Of the money genteel look
ing young man appeared at the ONCE Of Colonel
J. B. M. Potter, paymaster, and presented pay
accounts purporting to be those Of Lieutenant
Craig, Twenty-ffth United States infantry. On
inspection OF the accounts one OF the duplicates
represented Lieutenant Craig as in the Thrty-eghth
infantry. The discrepancy was pointed out TO the
applicant, who explained that 1t was mistake at
the Adjutant Generals Office, and offered to 90 and
have 1t corrected. One Of the clerks having his sus-
picion that all was not correct stated that he
would set II all right In Q moment II he would
take seat. The clerk then hurried to the
War Department, where he found that the
claimant was an old ofrender whom the
Department had been In search OF for time,
or two forgeries of the names Of prominent officers In
the War Department having been traced to him. The
clerk returned and sent the accounts to the Pay
master General, to ascertain II Lieutenant Craig
had been paid for the months Of January
and February, for which pay was claimed
and 1t was found that Lieutenant Craig had
been paid. During the absence Of the clerk, how
ever the claimant suspected that he was discovered
and said he would step out and return In moment.
He was followed and observed in trying to escape
from the yard, when he was Immediately arrested
and confessed his crime He stated that he was only
the dupe Of others, and gave valuable information,
which 1t s expected will lead to the arrest Of other
parties who have been for long time carrying on
these frauds against the government.
