THE NEW TEXTILE MArERIA1.

II is hardly time yet to predict that the new
textile material, "Ramie," will supersede or in
auy degree be substitute for cotton. 1t will
take the place Of linen, il Of anything. for it is
very high priced. Samples raised and prepar-
ed in Mexico sold in London at two shillings
snd six-pence per pouud; and the specimens
OF prepared fibre and manufactured articles
shown at the recent exhibition In Cinclnnati,
were pronou1ceI to bear close resemblance
to linen, with silky gloss which is not OBJ
servable in loco. The plant is a native OF
Japan, aud has been propagated by seed and
by cuttings in Mexico. From Mexico it
was brought to Louisiana two years
ago, and has been introduced 10 Texas,
Arkansas and Mississippi. The assumed ad-
ysntaees this plant has over cotton is its bet.
ter fibre, it's greater hardness, and it's COM
paratiye exemption from attacks by worms.
But as yet. although there are reports Of
matches oftWelve or fifteen sores OF the plant
this season In some parts Of the South, ramie
has been grown only experim enta!ly. mainly IN
nurseries, and it will b, some time before it
ramie-Aes generally throughout the cotton DIS
triots. It's resemblance to silk, rather than
cotton, or even hnen, may make it's general
introduction undesirable. since ramie may
bssr the same relation to six that chicory
does to coffee. The japanese are said to use
the fibre largely nov to adulter ate their Sec
ond-rate snks.

A Queer Story-Did Commodore Garrt-
SON try to Shoot Commodore Wander
bfIt

Here is q new story about the great Grail
road King" OF New York:
There Is in New York steamboat man by the
name OF Garrison. When Vanderbilt began
running his steamers 10 San Francisco, he en-
gagged Garrison at ten thousand year TO at
tend to his business at San Francisco. The
years. and was in writing. little time after
the Commodore sold out his interest to the
Pacific Mail Company, and Garrison Was LETT
to bimself. The latter threatened and finally
sued Vanderbilt. but to NJ Ell ct. At length,
being weary of Vanderbit's delays, and being q
mall famous for his Herrulean powers, ne call
ed upon the Commodore at his little cftice IN
be turned the key and placed 1t in his pocket.
Turning 10 Vanderbilt he said: Commodore,
you are at my mercy. You or / will never
leave this Office till you havo settled with me-"
Upon this he drew out an imposing Looking re-
yolver and sat down opposite the Commodore.
Vanderbilt is not easily terrified. Address
ing Garrison, he said: Captain, keep cool;
you are joking. Even it ! wished | could not
paw your demands here at this time"
Garrison was undauned by this. but ex-
claimed: Commodore, it is useless for you to
talk go. This account must be settled. You or
will be dead, but I will not leave this off1ce
till you have paid me-"
s'How can II" said Vanderbilt, now begin
ming to feel the discomfort of his position.
"Well," said Garrison, in that safe there
you have enough to pay me. This account
must be settled. or you or die, that is all. :"
The Commodore looked sternlv at Garrison
for q moment, then turned to his safe, drew
out some stocks and bonds, and said "Garri..
son, you are game. Here are stocks AMI
bonds. Take your dues, and leave.
Garrison selected one hundred thousand
dollars Of the precious cert fcales. pocketed
them. and walked of. Ever sinca that time he
and Vanderbilt have been good friends. Gar
rison Is still hero among New York shipping
men, mlny OF whom have known HIM in even
