ports that recently New Bedford whaler
struck q large and old sperm whale, near

Ave pounds Of pure ambergris, worth $50, 900.
This amount is the largest ever obtained

Ambergris is a hard waxy and fatty sub
stance, of light gray, streaked with yellow
or brown, and is secreted In the liver Of the
whale. 1t Is found in sickly, diseased or
dead whales, aud, according to the sailors,
Is caused by the whale having the dyspepsia.
The ambergris was originally found floating

been used as perfume and medicine. Its
properties are analogous to those OF musk

Tho Growth and Prosperity of wash.
fnEtou.


Under this caption, In your issue Of june
10, au article appeared In which were some
very useful hints, one of which desire 10
notice more fully, viz that OF more manu-.
factories In the city Of Washington. Ad-i
hitting the fact that they are the great
source Of wealth 10 this country, land for
proof Of which we need only look 70 New
England, we ask the question, how shall
we invite manufactures TO the city Of WASH
ington We may answer In a word, re-
move the objections. First. Railroad COM
munication must be made easy and direct
North and South; free from monopolies, and
consequently high freights, that the advan-
tages Of location may be realized by It's In
habltants. Popular sentiment ls opposed To
II; or In other words, the mechanic comes
here and finds society very much Of the
aristocratlc order, estimating people by their
influence or their position, rather than by
their Intellectual worth or integrity Of char
acter. In New England, where manufacto-
rles are appreciated, the mechanic is re-
spected, and In proportion TO his ability and
character is he honored.
To start manufactures successfully In this
city there must be q movement OF sufficient
magnitude TO attract the attention Of the
public mind, and also to introduce sum
Client number Of mechanics here that they
may form society Of their own, and not be
dependent upon the society Of Washington
for their social enjoyment.
Let such men as Cooke, Corcorau and
others erect q building from 500 TO 900 feet
long, 40 feet wide, 8 stories high, with 300
horse power engine attached; run q line Of
shafting the entire length Of each story, and
then induce small manufactures from the
North, who are manufacturing for tho
Southern market, TO rent space and power,
removing the machinery they now run TO
more genial locality, with the advantages Of
location.
Perfect these enterprises and Washington
will stand side by side with Boston and New
York. But as long as the capitalists Of this
city withhold their capital from mechanical
enterprises, and stigmatlze the mechanic as
an inferior being, Washington will remain
where she now is. d. z. j.

CIRCULATION UNRIVALLED
IN ELIZABETH.

FRANCE. recent circular from the
Minister of War, Marshal Mel, in
structs the commanders of military di-
visions to proceed with the greatest &C
tivity in instructing the corps of all
branches of the service. In this circu-
lar Marshall Mel acknowledges that it
imposes heavy sacrifices on the country
to have an effective force of 400, 600
men. He consequently recommends
the commanders to turn every moment
to account in drilling the troops and
!" seriously preparing them for all the
operations of war" He holds that all
the corps should be so complete as to
be able to place all available men in the
field, and that no soldier is to be ac-
corded leave of absence without abso-
lutte necessity.
Warlike preparations have not says
the Gaulois, been arrested for an in
slant along the entire extent of the
frontier on the Rhine. The troops
stationed on the frontier have not been
reduced by company, and at Straits
burg the magazines continue to receive
all sorts of military supplies. The re-
port, published by the Gaulois, that
troops had been called from Algeria
has been officially contradicted.
