the most remarkable time on record. In few more
moments the express came up. Without seconds
delay its engine was nt IN pursuit OF the runaway

Paper Making and Clothing.

Increased commerce with Japan and a
better acquaintance with China has In
duced some OF our enterprising paper
manufacturers to institute inquiries as To
the processes and material used for paper
in those countries, with view to improve
the quality here. In both, paper IN va.
riety of forms is used for the clothing of o
large portion of the inhabitants. 1t is ex
tremely tenacious flexible and impervious
to water-while its cheapness places II
within reach Of every one Examination
shows that the material used in this fabric
is plant containing gum, insoluble IN
water, and which adds to the softness
hexibility, and strength Of the fabric.
What this plant is, whether we possess
anything similar, and whether it could be
introduced and grown in this country, are
points not yet settled. Examinations o.
our native flora may perhaps reveal sub
stitute, but ifnot il may be introduced anl
grown here, and experiments to that enc
are in contemplation II is quite too val
liable production to be allowed TO remain
ia its native country if it can be introduced
successfully here.
Paper is steadily gaining in repute as AZ
article of dress, and promises at no distant
time to superSede more coatly woven fab

MAGNITUDE OF THE Ok HORN Trade
The trade in ox-horns is growing into an
importance difficult to realize. That our
Western readers may form an approximate
idea of w at is doing in this branch of in
dustry we lip the following paragraph from
II Boston paper:
"A cargo of horns was landed on one of
our wharves this week direct from Califor-
mia. The number received into Boston an
nually is immense, and they come from
very distant lands. South America sends
the bulk Of them, though many come from
Texas, and not a few from California. The
last lot received numbered ~, 500. They
are mostly ox-horns, and are very large.
Some buffalo horns are received from Asia,
but in small quantities. There is quite
speculative business done in these articles,
and they are put to very many uses un-
known TO most Of our readers. A short
distance from Boston il the factory where
all these are sent. and at that place thev
undergo chemical change by which they
are transformed into many articles which
are both useful and ornamental con bs
knife-handles, paper-cutters, and buttons
Besides these, they are now making yari-
