generous, slow to take offence, as being

subdues his feelings, controls his
speech and finally, deems every other
better than himself.

How Pins are Made.

The pin machine is one of the closest APP
proachcs that mechanics have made to the dcx
terty of the human hand. A small machine,
about the height and size of lady's sewing
machine, only much stronger stands before
you. On the back SIDE a light belt deScends
from the long shaft at the ceiling that drives
all the machines, ranged in rows on the tiOOr
On the lett side of our machine hangs, on a
peg. small reel of wire, that has been straight
ened by running through compound system
of small rollers The wire dcScends and the
end Of it enters the machine. This is the food
consumed by this snappish, vOraclOuS little
dwarf. He pulls it in and bitesit off by inches
necessarily, one hundred and forty bites to the
minute. just as he seizes each bite, a saucy
little hammer, with cOncave face, hit the end
of the wire with three taps and upset" 1t to
a head, while he gripes it in cOunter-sunk
hole between his teeth With an outward
thrust of his tongue he then lays the pin side
wise in little groove across the rim of Il small
wheel that slowly rcvolveSj just underhis BY
the external pressure Of a stationary hoop these
pms roll IN their places as they are carried un-
der two series of small files three i'll each.
These files grow finer toward the end of the
series. They lie at Slight inclination on the
! pins, and by series of cams, levers, and
springs, are made to play like lightning. Thus
the pins are dropped in q little shower into a

for one of these little automatOnS. Forty ma
chimes on this floor make five hundred and six
ty pounds of pins daily. These are then pol
ished. Two very intelligent machines reject
every crooked pin, even the slightest irregu-
larity of form being detected. Another auto
maton asserts half dozen lengths in as many
boxes, all at once, and unerringly, when a care
less operator has mixed the contents of boxes
from various machines. Lastly, perfect gen.
ius of machine hangs the pins by the head
in an inclined platform through as many slot,
as there are pins in row on the papers. These
slots converge into the exact space spanning
the length Of row. Under them runs the
strip of pin paper. A barb-like part of the
machine catches one pin from each of the slot
as it falls, and by one movement sticks then
all through the corrugated ridges in the paper
from which they are to be picked by taper fin
gers in boudoirs and all sorts of human circum
stances.

"The first object of interest which attracted
the attention of the President was the tomb of
Washington. On approaching it he took off
his hat and stood contemplating the tomb for
some time, carefully reading all the inscriptions
and asking several questions of Secretary Borle,
who visited the place thirty.,th years ago
President seemed to take deep interest in
everything, walked through all the rooms and
examined all che relics with great care, regis
tering his name with the other visitors, U.

used by Washington as library the PRESIDENT
took cigar out of his pocket and going be-
hind the door to avoid the draught of wind,
lighted it, smoking during the remainder Of

A Pacific Railroad Town.

CarcltOn'' writes the following account of
the present terminus of the Union Pacific Rail-
way, the town of Bryan, eight hundred miles
west Of Omaha:
The United States, at the present time, can
exhibit one thing not to be found in any other
cOuntry-a Pacific Railroad town. BY that we
do not mean town like Omaha, which is an
old established city, but one Of the mushroom
places which grow up in night, last a week or
two, and then are torn down and moved on to
another locality. The railroad is pushed for
ward 50 fast, and the terminOus changed so Of
ten, that town only gets under way before it
Is pulled down and sent forward to a new place.
lOu can find houses at the present terminus,
Bryan, eight hundred miles west of Omaha,
which have been put up and taken down l5 or
20 times The people who live in them are
American Arabs. They are not only nomads,
ever on the move, but they can steal and plum
der as adroitly and with as little conjunction
OF conScl nee as their brethren, the Bedouins.
Civilization and Christianity have not refined
or softened their inhuman nature.
1t was late in the evening when we entered
the town OF Bryan, then about Two weeks old.
We rOe up wide street, bright lights flaming
| IN the windows OF the restaurants and saloons,
each shopman and bartender trying, 10y ar
rangements Of kerosene lamps and colored
| glasses to Outshine his neighbOr in his endeav-
ors to attract a crowd. There was a sound of
revelry, and Bryan had gathered the largest
part of her population for high time. There
was such dancing and tiddling, such drinking
of healths, shuf1ing Of cards and rattling of
dice as we never saw before.
From the dance saloon came the sound of
hurGy gurdi $, violins and banios, the rattle
and clatter of the double shuttle and plantation
breakdown, mingled with shouts and oaths,
the iingling OF glasses, as the rude men, wild
with whskey, and ruder women, decked in
81 Ks, satins, founces aud ruf]td, and glittcring
with trumpery jewelry, went whisking on each
other arm around the room.
The Railroad company have laid out the town,
and are selling lots at high prices. OF course
these lots will have very little value after the
road is opened, but the town is built as if there
was limited amount of land available for a
city. The shops and houses are all crowded
together, and if a fire were to break ont on the
windward side all would CO. Here is a town
two weeks old, with population of 5000
On every side we hear the sound of saws and
hammers.

They turn up their eyes, and turn out their toes,

You that you love me, hut love all alone
To unmarried girls a thing quite unknown:
You sigh and look down and present me a rose;
But that is all stuff do you mean to prOpOssf

Why stop and look shccpish there's nothing TO fear,

But tins is not business, the hOrrd time COOS,
Another Will have me if you don't propose.
You take all the airs Of man I've preferred
You keep of the rest, and you don't say word.

THE HIsToRY OF THE TUNE OF 'DIxIE."

THE IlIsTORY OF THE TUNE OF "DIXIE. -
The Memphis Post tells this story of Dixie:
:" In the first place, the song and chorus Of
Dixie" was composed and arranged by Dan
Emmett, member of travelling minstrel par
ty, who, while at Mobile in the winter of lS47
4S, heard some negro labOrers singing on the
levee while loading steamboat with cotton.
The thought struck Dan that with little change
of measure it could be made a good song and
walk round, which generally winds up ne
gro minstrel concert.
Dan arranged it and produced it. 1t became
a success, and was sung and played all over the
country by all the bands
"In the spring of 1861 Mrs John Wood
came to New Orleans to play an engagement
at the Varieties Theatre. During the time she
appeared in Brougham's burlesque of Pocahon-
tas At the first rehearsal of the piece every
thing went well till near the close of the second
act Tom McDOnough (now agent for the LET
fngwell), the prOmpter, gOtup ZOuave march
and drill by twenty two ladies', led by Susan
Denim. Everything run smooth, but the mu-
sic for the march could not be fixed upon. Ia
rio Patti was leader of the orchestra and he
tried several marches, but none suited Mellon
| ough-one was too slow, another to tame, an
other not enough spirit. AT length Patti stuck
up the negro air of Dixie That will do,
Patti~the very thing, said Tom, and Dixie
was played, and the march goes through with
and the chorus by all the characters. At nigh
| it received double encore, and PocahOntas haC
| run and from that time out the streets anC
parlors rang with Dixie. The war broke ou
that spring, and the military bands took it up
! and Dixie became to the South what tn,
| Marsellaise Hymn was to the French. AM
that's how Dixie became the popular wa
song of the South.
