The New Textile.

A good deal of interest was elected at the
recent Manufacturers Convention in Cincin-
natti by the exhibition of several articles
produced from the Ramie plant. There ap-
pear to be several varieties of this plant.
That from which the cloth exhibited at Gin
clnnatti was made is q native of Japan. The
first specimen was introduced into Louisiana
in 1867, and since then has been successfully
grown in nurseries in that State, Mississippi,
Texas and Arkansas. The fibre resembles
in appearance raw silk, and in length of fine
division surpasses fax. 1t is purely white.
The shifting cloth resembles fine linen, cx-
cept that the threads are even. The hand
kerchefs resemble fine linen cambria, except
that the threads are even, and these, as well
as the shirting cloth, have q silky gloss.
Specimens prepared in England bear a close
resemblance to silk; those prepared in Louis
lana by the Roezl machine, though long IN
fibre, and having the natural gloss, is not
sufficiently prepared for fine articles. But
in OHIO, as grown and prepared in Mexico
by Mr.. Roezl in 1865, it brought 65 cents a
pound in London; and this year it sold in the
same market at 60 cents pound. Mr.. Ba-
con, chairman of the agriculture section ot
the New York Academy of Sciences, states
that he has no pecuniary interests in the
plant, but believes that it must be one of the
leading staples of the country. The seed
does not germinato readily, but the plant
is easily propagated by root cuttings, layers,
and by cutting off the stalk at q certain
stage, and is very vigorous in growth; and in
latitudes where the ground does not freeze tc
a greater depth than foot, is perennial The
fibre is like that of hemp, in the inner barl
of the stalk, aud less liable to be destroyed
by worms than cotton, and besides is as hardy
as the cotton plant is delicate. The fbr,
can be prepared in twenty-four hours aftel
the stalks are cut

ANrrDdrE foR SNAKE-BTEs.-In the
last volume of Transactions of the
Royal Society of Victoria published at
Melbourne, there was an account of DIR.
Halfords interesting researches into the
nature of the change produced in the
blood by the poison of snakesbites The
doctor worked with the microscope, sat>
isfed himself that there was change,
and described it, and has since had an
opportunity OF testing his theory and his
ahtidote. A man working on a railway
was bitten by snake; ere long drowsi-
ness came on medical assistance was
obtained, but by the time it arrived the
man was tomatoes, and his lower extre-
mites were paralyzed. DIR. Halford was
then summoned by telegraph; he made
an incision on vein, inserted the point
of syringe, injected ammonia diluted
with water; and the effect produced is
described as marvellous and immediate"
The man became conscious, steadily re.
covered, and became quite well. Hence
forth let all people who live in districts
infested by poisonous snakes remember
that ammonia injected into vein is the
remedy for bite.

of good brown sugar to every pound

ly for children-regulating their bowels

Alcohol from the Sewers.

OF all western marvels, the most extraor-
dinary that has yet been recorded IS that of
the manufacture of distilled spirits from the
garbage of cities. The extraction of sun
beams from cucumbers, and all other curious
experiments of the college of Laputa, were
as nothing in comparison.
A company has been organized, and is ac-
tually aud actively at work in Chicago, if we
may believe the Cincinnati COMMERCIAL, in
making soap grease and alcohol from the rel
use of the streets The spirits are ostensibly
produced for manufacturing purposes, but as
alcohol is the basis of all vinous and spirit
Gus liquors, this horrible distillatiou may yet

CURE OF CRoUP-This disease is al
ways durable by a very simple remedy,
even when the patient is on the verge of
suAocation. This consists, first, in apply
ing water to the throat by means of
sponge or soft cloth, so hot as to be very
painful to the hand of the operator, in
slant relief being usually afforded After
this has been continued for fifteen or
thirty minutes, poutice of linseed meal,
rolled up in cloth, is to be applied while
very hot and left on for some time. The
remedies are to be repeated should the
attack return but the writer states that
after long experience he has never
known them to fail

In accordance with his promise, Mr.. Beau.
mont made his appearance next day at eleven
o'clock, and was received as cordially as be-

quarter of an hour when loud rap was

DEATH AMONG TIE 'ToMAroEs.-An

son should look out for the large worm
which infests the tomato vines. Its sting
is deadly poison. 1t is of green color,
two or three inches long, and as large as
a mans finger. At Red Creek, Wayne
county, few days ago servant girl.
while gathering tomatoes, received a
puncture from one of these worms,
which created sensation similar to that
of bee sting. In short time the
