How an English Hatmosphere was Made.

The Hartford Courant describing the
process of thread making at the Wills
mantle works, says,
Perhaps some readers will be inter~

stepped in and supplied every want which
foreign producers have held could not be
supplied, and that consequently, 1t was
IN imposSibility TO make in this country,
as good quality of six>cord thread as
was made abroad The Englishman
said "Ill admit that you can get the
power aud machinery; you can employ
experienced workmen, and all that; but
my Hamerican friend, you haeen't got the

Not got the atmosphere-thatis too bad !;
We must have it The point of the Eng>
lishman was that the damp foggy wealth

staple in its process of manufacture that
not only the perfect operation of ma
chinerv was guaranteed, but that the
thread was, in that way, and could be in
ne other way. made strong and smooth,
and complete IN all its paris There was
something in this plea to be considered,
and the Willmantic Company promptly
met the objections raised by supplying
their six-cord thread mill with steam
registers, which are scattered through
the long apartments, AMI from which
there is gentle flow of vapor. giving to

IA Extraordinary Verdict.

Some time ago the Chicago Tribune
published a report of police case in
which one Mrs. Wilkinson, and a Mr.
aud Mrs. A. c. Ellithro pc, figured as par
ties under arrest. The case related to
an alleged improper intimacy between
Ellinthrope and Mrs Wilkinson The
latter conceiving that the publication was
damaging to her character, commenced
a libel suit az inst the proprietors of the
Tribune, estimating the damages which
her character had sustained at $4,000
The trial was concluded on Thursday
last. 1t was replete with those pungent
details for which trials involving the
characters of Chicago women are unsur-
passed. But it was proved that one of
the editors and proprietors of the T5-f~
bune requested the managing editor to
omit any allusion to the police court case
on account of Ellinthrope, who was Il
neighbor and old acquaintance of his,
and that the city editor rec6i, ed instruc
tons to omit it. 1t further appeared in,
testimony that reporter Of the Tribune
made a report of the case, as was his
custom, without knowing that it was not
to be published, and that the report was
put in type The city editor, who has
:.
the foreman of the paper written orders
to omit the report but by a blunder, in
the hurry of making up the paper, it was
inserted by mistake. Thus the report
was published in contravention of the
express orders of the editors and pro-
prietors, bv the blunder Of a foreman
The following day the editors published
an article in which they sought co repair
any unfarorable impressions respecting
the parties, caused by the publication of
the report
But Mrs. Wilkinson, we Judge, more
eager for money than soLcitous for her
character, was not appeased The I'ri-
buae men are reported to be wealthy
Her character could not be repaired
short of greenback application She
accordingly persisted in bringing forth a
suit for libel The evidence in the case
certainly went to show that neither she
nor Ellinthrope were anv better than
they should he. 1t was positively proved
that no malice entered into the minds Of
the proprietors of the Tribune, but, on
the contrary, they were disposed to treat
the parties with much greater lenitv than,
judging by the evidence subsequently,
produced in the course Of the libel suit
they deserved Nevertheless, in the
face Of these facts, the jury, with that
magnificent disdain for justice and com
mon sense which sometimes charae terize
the conclusion of a petit jury, found a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff, and esti-
mated the damage of her character at
precisely the sum of 81 500
This verdict cannot fail to be regarded
by all who have examined the case as a
mos5 extraordinary one, and will direct
increased attention to the subject of a
modification of the law of libel, such as
may to some extent shield the press from
unjust extortion and unjust vexatious
prosecutions Madison Journal

PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The work has adj
vanced SO rapidly on the eastern and
western branches of this great work,
that, on the LIST of December, only about
800 miles were left unfinished, and a
large portion of that was graded. On
the Pacific end $4,000 men and 1900
teams are engaged. Three hundred
miles of iron were laid in five months,
ending December lst-an average of two
and half miles day. The road only
rises once in crossing the mountains &c
the altitude of heavy SHOWS, and over
this--a streak of thirty miles-sheds have
been built TO protect 1t against drifting
snow. 1t is confidently expected that the
work will be completed during the com
ing summer, when a continuous line oil
road, 8, 800 miles in length, will connect
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Rich
beds of coal have been discovered at diff.
ferent points on the line.

$50! The Poor Indian.o

The report Of Gen. SHERMAN, in refer
ence to Indian affairs. is an able docu-
ment After careful survey of existing
circumstances, The General sees no pros>
pect Of lasting peace with the Redskins,
except through war prosecuted with Wig
or. So long ss opportunity for depreda-
tons is offered by settlers and gold hunt
ers on the frontiers, the Indians will COM
NIT them. Either civilization must cease
to progress. or the Indians must be made
to feel the power of the Government to
that extent that they will behave them
selves 1t is folly to attempt to reason
with savages who are deaf to its voice,
or to ask them to agree to terms which
it is known they will violate. Any con>
cess;on made to them by the Government
is attributed to fear Whatever terms
are proposed on the part of the Govern
rent should be rigidly enforced, and the
treacherous savages made to feel the
strength of its arm. They should not be
permitted to dispute longer the progress
of civilization and improvement, else the
large appropriations made to the Pacific
Railroad will be thrown away. However
disagreeable the necessity, severe code
of warfare should be adopted, and the
savages sent to the reservations set apart
for them, and made to remain there. If
the Government sees tit to support them
there as paupers, it will be far better
than to submit to their depredations.
We believe General SHERMAN's recon-
mendation to take the entire matter of
adjusting theIndian difficulties out of the
hands of Peace Commission ers and re-
storing it to the War Department, is the
proper course to be pursued. and trust it
may be adopted.
