Gently enlarged our Silk Mills in Newark, J., and
furnished them with the latest aud most improved
machinery, which is being operated by highly
skilled labor. We know and feel the Importance of
not only supplying the users of our machines, but
the trade generally with the best quality OF MACHINE
TWIST, which sell by measure rather than by
weight The system of selling by weight has given
manufacturers the opportunity of SO heavily weigh
ting Silk in the process of dyeing as not only to
greatly injure its quality, but also convey wrong
Impression about its quantity. In this respect we
mean to be above suspicion. The manner in which
the sizes of silk gradusted is also matter OF
great Importance, but we the greatest possible
care that the graduating shall be exceeding accu-
rate. In addition to manufacturing from the best
quality of silk. the evenness of thread and
beauty of finish of the manufactured article viii Tot
think, be soon surpassed Each spool Of silk
manufactured by u.s. of any particular size or letter.
irrespective of weight contains the number Of yards
printed thereon. Length, strength size, quality
and finish of the thread are to be looked to rather
than weight. We are now silk manufacturers on
arge SCALE and feel that large trade can only be
retained by in furnishing supeoior articlefat
ar price. If other brands of Twist be offered at
a les price than ours, purchasers may rest assured
that it is inferior in quality, deficient in quantity,
or both. --4-- go

MISSISSIPPI NAyIGATIoN.-Tbe great
canal now being constructed around the
Mississippi rapids, at Keokuk, is under
full head way. Major General Wilson.
who oyerhauled JEFF. Davis, has charge Of
the work, for the prosecution Of which
there was an appropriation made by the
last Congress. The canal is to be seven
and half miles long, from three to four
hundred feet wide, and holds from six to
eight feet of water.
The outside wall will be Of earth, pro-
tected by stone rip-rap; it will be ten feet
wide on top, with a slope on the sides Of
one and one-half base to one vertical on
the outside, and one and one quarter base
to one vertical on the inside, and will vary
from eighteen to thirty feet in height, SO
as to carry it above the high-water mark
of 1851. There is to be guard-lock at
the upper end, and two lift-locks, one near
the middle, having a lift of eight feet, and
one at Keokuk, lifting ten and three fourths
feet. The guard>lock can also be used as
a lift whenever the water in the river is
three feet above low water mark. The
locks are to be $50 feet long and 80 feet
wide. Enough water will be let into the
canal to give flow Of one mile per hour,
which will give a water>power at Keokuk
of about 1000 se-power.. 1t is esti-
mated that the whole cost of this structure
will be S2,500,0O0. The Congressional
appropriation amounts to S70O,0OO.

PRAYING AND WoRKINa.--I like that
saying Of Martin Luther, when he says,
II have so much business to do to-day,
that shall not be able to get through it
with less than three hours prayer"
Now NEST people would say, II have 40
much business to do to-day that have
only three minutes prayer cant afford
the time" But Luther thought that the
more he bad 70, do. the more he must
pray, or else he could MOI get through it.

There are many lille matters which
affect the success Of teachers daily du-
ties. Is the black board warped and
scratched? Take it down, screw elect
on the back, putty up the crack, and paint
it black again. There is no expenditure
here Of anything but little labor, except
for the paint, and that may be made
trifling if few cents worth Of lampblack,
q little camphene, flannel rag and in
genuity are used. Perhaps the chalk is
''scratcby." Buy some cryons, if you
can; if not, make them. Your boys will
help you; and in few hours, 1T an ex-
pense of half a dollar you can make
enough to last for whole term, and the
improvement will pay you for your trouble.

An Old Man.

An Old Man.
The Cleveland Leader gives an account
of a case in the Probate Court, in which
farmer named John Simpson, of Royal
ton, seventy years CT age, was charged by
his sons with lunacy. The charge was
based upon the old mans determination
to take another wife to cheer and console
him in his declining years, he having been
bcreft Of his former partner for two full
years, since which time he had been soli-
tary. A girl of sixteen, daughter of
widow who had buried her fourth hus-
band, contracted to marry him on condi-
ton that she should have fifty acres of
land decided to her life, and in case of any
heirs being born during the overture, the
property to 60 to them on her death, or to
become absolutely vested in her in case of
no heir at the time Of Simpsons death.
The mother agreed to the bargain. an early
day was set for the nuptials, and Decem-
Der and May awaited the time when their
frosts and flowers should mingle with, it
may be- mutual warnings. Meantime,
the sons, who are grown to manhood, were
not obliyious Of these proceedings, and
sought to prevent the consummation of
the arrangement. They endeayored to
prevent the issue of a marriage license,
by stating the case to Judge Tilden, but
the old man executed flank movement
upon them by getting license at Elyria.
The fateful day was fast approaching, and
as a grand coup de main to checkmate the
festive swain, they caused his arrest on
charge of lunacy. The case was heard
yesterday, and, as stated above, Simpson
was discharged, but Judge Tilden gave
him sound lecture, warning him against
deceitful and designing women. lie told
him that he was evidently the victim of
matrimonial stratagem to rob him Of his
property, and cautioned him to look well
before he took the proposed steps. This
seemed to have the desired effect, the
scales fell from his eyes, and he departed,
vehemently declaring--or words to that
eifect--"Not if the court knows herself,
and she thinks she recognizes her photo
graph"

The remains of John Wilkes Booth
have been delivered to his brother, Edwin
Booth and others of his family, and were
taken to Baltimore where they will be re-
inferred. ..:.A Washington dispatch of the
18th inst, says: The constitutional suf-
frage amendment is at last vibrating be-
tween the two houses of congress, in a
conference committee of three from each
branch. 1t came up in the house to- lay,
and the latter refused to give the requisite
two.thirds vote for the senate substitute
for the original imposition. 1t was
claimed that this enfranchiscd all the
Cinnamon on the Pacific coast, and the
house decided, therefore, that it wanted
the matter placed in better shape. Judge
Underwood, of Pennsylvania, made very
pointed argument against having SO i'm
portant a question lcgislated upon by a
mere conference committee, whose dictum
had to be accepted without word of dis
,cussion in either house. i.
