Punch says "Ifyou are wise man you
will treat the world as the moon treats it.
Show it only one side OF yourself, seldom
show yourself too much AT 4 time, and let
what YOU show be calm, cool and polished.
But look at every side of the world"

The numerous successful experiments Of
silk, voolen, lace aud linen cotton manufao.
turors In several States, and still more exten.
sively IN Europe, have created demand fol
this now aud valuable staple far beyond tho
present production or means Of supply. II ID
discovered thst tho ranie grown on che allu
vial lands Of the lower Mississippi has very
long and exceedingly fine fibre, far superior
to that grown in its native oouatry, Java, and
that the yield per acre is greater In any Of
the Southern cotton States ra,pie can be har-
vested at least three times year, and each
harvest or cutting will produce between nine
and twe'se hundred pounds, making an aver
age anndaI crop Of about 5000 pounds crude
unprcpared ibro, worth at present in Europe
ten oents specie per pound. In preparing tho
fibre for manufacturing purposes it loses about
one half, increasing il in valdo to sixty.6ve
cents per pouni. Thus, it is apparent that
ramio, requiring comparatively littlo tillage to
produce such magnificent results, is the most
profitable crop that the planter can cultivate.
The fibre, wheh prepared for the spinner,
is beautifully white, soft and glossy, closely
resembling floss silk in appearance it is much
stronger than the best fax, and readily ro.
ceives the most difficult dyes with out inju-
ry to its strength or lustre.
