India Cashmere Shawl.

The following article, giving i.
modus operandi OF manufactrs,
Cashmere Shawls in India, is
ken from an exchange.
The first shawls manufaCtursa
in India were made ofcamel'sbsr
but for many years the ooIfon
the Cashmere goat has only BEEN
used. These animals are NATIVES
of Thibet, and attempts to rais
them elsewhere have been failure,
For several centuries the peopo
Of India guarded the secret Of ma.
king these shawls, and the govern
ment forbade the sale Of them d
foreigners,
The goats hair is long aid
silky, quite straight, and Of a brow
shade. 1t is sent from Thibet d
Cashmere, a distance ofone MONTH
journey. 1t is there bleached wild
a mixture composed principallyo
rice -four, and when perfect
white, carefully spun into thread
aud dyed Of various colors, embn
cling all their shades and tints. IS
dyes used excel anything Of
kind in their peculiar richness b
durability.
The finest wool is from the inls
coat Of the goat, and is only Used
in the manufacture Of the md
elegant aud costly garments. Ia
process Of weaving is exceeding
slow and quite novel in its exec
tion.
A single shawl is composed
many pieces; each one is woven !
perately. Their sizes vary; IN
smallest one about an eighth oia
inch, and the largest not ovG
half a squire yard. "A shawl ~
would employ ten weavers to NAH
hns from 500 to 1000 pieces in !
The warp is placed in snal
frames; the patterns are drawn oil
on paper, and the colored YAM
wound on small bobbins, wh1l
are held inthe hollow Of the hauds
It requires as many yarns in y
welt as there are colors in The pa
tern, which are worked on Y
warp with small pins (sort ofWOd
en- needless. The right side is
under one upon the frame, andH
not seen by the weaver until
pattern is finished.
An inch-square piece is consIi
cred q good days work. The VIZ
wing is considered q good da}
work. The weaving IS very Coz
pact, and the pieces 20 hands0n

A MAN or UNBoUNDED STOMACH.
There is a man named Wilson
in the town Of Gordon, Pa, 81
whom q correspondent Of the Mi
ner's Journal tells this story
Knowing him from past expert
ence to be an unmerciful eater, es-
pecially when provided with some
thing delicious, we provided for
him one pie, weighing / j pounds;
two sugar cakes, weighing / pound
cheese, ! pound; crackers J pound.
He then drank 6 tumblers Of water,
ell Of which being easily demolish-
Cd, he went straight way to q sup
per table, OF which he again de-
molshed ! pound beef, ! pound
bread, ] pound potatoes, and drank
A cups Of coffee. After consuming
"a pounds food, and about four
quarts 81 water and coffee, (as 81
bove stated he went his way reioi-
cling over d well spent afternoon.

ALMIEss EDUCATION. Here is a
rich mans son, who has been edu-
Gated at a great expense and pains,
who has graduated from college,
and has come out a gentleman. He
has studied, not with a view of fit
ting himself for any avocation
in life, but with view of being a
gentleman. Soon, his father breaks
down; and he, when he is about
twenty-five years old, finds himself
a poor mans son, and dependent
on his exertion. And he says to
himself-"What shall / do for a
living?" He answers the ques-
ton by saying,-"T do not know,
/ never learned anything about
how to get living" There is
but one man that can befriend this
poor wretch, and that is the SEX
ton. Could anything be more use
less than such a person? Could
there be anything more pitiable
than such histories? And yet they
are occurring every day.

10 Az We feel an interest in
the progress Of our parish, and
take great pleasure IN giving to the
outside world some idea Of her en-
terprizes and resources, we this
week aIIude to our friend, Capt.
DanI Coos, one Of the pioneers
Of Calcasieu, as regards enterprise.
He possesses that indomitabIe per.
severance which characterizes the
Teutonic race, and has shown
what win and energy combined
win accomplish. His fine mill,
situated on the river, about mile
or more above our village turns
out some 100000 feet Of lumber
per month; and that Of his son-in-
law, Capt. Lock, on Prean's Lake,
some ten miles below this place,
shout 10000 feet more. These
energetic men are thus supplying
the market annually with some
thing more than four millions Of
feet Of excellent lumber. But this
is not all, Capt. Coos and his Lady
the past summer paid a visit to
their native land, Germany-and
whilst there, the Captain enlisted
quite an army Of his countrymen
to come over with him. Himself
and Capt. Lock are now running
their mills, with tho aid of these
new corners. Up to the present
time, they seem TO be well pleased
with their homes, and express
themselves delighted with the
country. Whilst we commend
these gentlemen for their energy
in the special business they follow,
We cannot pass BY the fact also Of
the taste and good sense they dis
play in surrounding themselves
with fine gardens and orchards.
Q ye poor city imprisoned be-
ings, who seufle with want, and
are painting for one breath Of pure
air, come this way. Put out one
half the labor you expend where
you are, and behold yourselves
surrounded BIZ luscious fruit; the.
most tempting vegetables-new
laid eggs poultry free from dis
ease, and q sense Of disease. The
field is large and invites you. Come
one, come all, and our hospitable
people will give you b hearty well
come.

Report On the Condition Of the
Public Roads, filed April 18th,
1877.
To the Honorable John e. King,
Judge Of the 9th Judicial District
Of Louisiana, holding court in and
for the parish of Calcasieu.
The Grand Jurors of the State
of Louisiana duly impaneled, to
enquire within and for the parish
of Calcasieu, herewith submit the
following report upon the condi-
ton Of the public roads of said
parish.
Since the war but little work has
been done on any Of the public
roads of the parish. It is true in
some neighborhoods, some work
has been done, but there does not
seem to have been that concert of
action throughout the parish re-
quired by the Importance Of the
subject. On some Of the impor-
tant public highways there are no
overseers now nor have there been
any for some time past. Amongst
the important highways concern
ing which we have made diligent
enquiry, we may mention the fol
lowing: LIST, The road from Lake
Charles to Nibleth's bluff. This
road is in bad order, and the bridg-
es thereon are out Of repair.
I'd, The road leading from this
place via Hickory fat to Opelou-
sas, in st. Landry, this road is al
SO in bad order, and the bridges SO
entirely out Of repair as to render
it impossible in wet weather.
Sd, The road from this point
via blackberry island to Johnson's
Bayou stands in need Of work, and
the bridges need repairing.
4th, The road hence to New Ibe-
ria, is in tolerable order only; the
bridge across Lacasine and Indian
Bayou are good, but those across
Piney Piney gulley and Grand
Marais should be repaired.
9Th. The road from this place to
Sugar town, on this road the prin-
cipal streams are bridged and the
bridges in good repair, except that
over Bundick's creek, but the
smaller creeks and streams are I'M
bridged, rendering travelling both
difficult and dangerous during high
water.
The roads throughout the par.
ish should be worked and put ii
repair, with as little delay al pos
sible, as we consider It q matter
Of the very highest Importance to
tho public; but owing TO tho fact

Bg- According to a Washine

BG~ According to a Washing
ton correspondent, the counter
claims of Great Britain, for DANA
ges to the property Of Englishmen
in this country, during the Con-
federate war, and in Canada for
injuries received by the citizens Of
the New Dominion, during the Fee
MAN raid, will probably be insis-
ted upon and pressed in mitiga-
ton, at least, Of the Alabama bill.
1t is even intimated that the total
damages from these sources on
their side, viii ride up eonsidera-
bly, more than the total on ours.

B9- London has daily sup
ply Of 98,OOO,OOO gallons Of water,
furnished by eight companies; but
there is considerable anxiety mani
tested lest this quantity should
prove insufficient, and various
plans for providing a greater sup
ply are before the Parliamentary
Commission. Mr.. Bateman, engi-
neer, who constructed The Glas-
gov Water Works proposes to sup
ply 222,OOO,O0O gallons daily, from
the western slopes Of the noun
tains Of Central Wales, at dis
tance 81 some two hundred miles,
and at q cost Of 11,40O, 900, 81 d.

B@- We regret exceedingly that
a press Of work on hand deprived
us Of the pleasure Of seeing the
fine steamer ANN S. launched
on Saturday last. She was built
at Jones Saw mill, on the Calcas-
leu river, about half a mile from
our town, by sEillful mechanics,
under the supervision Of Messrs.
Aud & Sanders, gentlemen Of in
domitable energy, perseverance
and industry. Mr.. Aud is said to
be one of the best machinists in
the United States; and his partner,
Mr.. Saunders, has had u lifelong
experience in steamboating ON our
western waters.
We understand that she was
built for tow or Job boat, but we
believe the owners have come to
the conclusion to run her as a re-
gular packet between this place
and Galveston. So mote it be,
because she is admirably adapted
to our trade, Of light draft, sub
stantially built-a neat cabin, and
of sufficient tuns burthen to cary
a goodly quanty Of lumber or mer-
chandize. We wish the enterpri-
sing proprietors every success, and
may they more than realize their
most sanguine expectations.
The weekly echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1868-1876, 1871-04-20

r- Tie Spring term Of our
District Court which convened on
Monday tie 1slb inst, adjourned
On Saturday at noon. The dock
ct was small, and hence the reason
for holding so short q term.
There we're a good many coun-
try people IN town, and from the
time court opened until it adjourn
ed sine dc, the place presented a
very lively appearance. Several
Of the b'hoys kept their spirits up
BY pouring spirits down, and ma
king the dead hour Of night hide
GUS by their horrid yells and bac-
.chanalian songs. Others whiled a.
way the time in fiddling and dam
cling old fashioned reels, vice versa.
If our parish could boast Of having
as many good farmers as it has
violinists what a great country it
would be, although we like to hear
the violin or any other instru-
ment as well as any person when
well played, but good Lord deliver
us from the Piano Forte, for the
reason that there is not more than
one lady in a hundred who can
play one correctly. Thank God
we have none such here.
We publish elsewhere the re-
ports of the Grand Jury. One in
regard to the delapidated condi-
ton of our Court house; and the
other in reference to the horrible
state of the public roads and bridg-
es in different portions Of the par
ish. Read the reports.
