PATENT WHITE WIRE CLOTHES
LIEEs.-It affords us much pleasure to
call the attention of our readers to an
other improvement recently made in
the Patent White Wire Clothes line
with which we are all SO familiar.
MessFs. r. T. Bush & Co., proprietors
of the Hudson River Wire Works, have
constructed an ingenious machine for
braiding or twisting, so that now in
stead of using one single wire they use
several small wires twisted together,
which makes line more pliable, much
smoother, stronger, and better in every
way than the old style. For bringing
out and perfecting this White wire
Line the manufacturers justly deserve
the blessing of every housekeeper from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Had-
son River Wire Works have long been
established, but was little kaown before
the White Wire came cat four or five
years ago. Judging from present ap-
pearances this new line will supersede
every other style, and in few years be
the only kind of clothes line in use.
Oar advice to every one is get one OF
these labor saving articles If you are
not already supplied, aaa If you have
one of the old style we think it viii be
better to use the wire you have fOz
some other purpose and buy one Of
/ these braided lines for your Clothes
Exchange.

An old story contains lesson which
many married couples have not yet
learned. When Jonathan Trumbull
was Governor of Connecticut, gentle
man called at his house one day and re-
questing private interview. He said :
81 have called upon very unpleasant
errand, sir, and want your advice. Ny
wife and do not live happily together,
and am thinking of getting divorce.
What do you advise, sir ?"
The Governor sat few moments in
thought; then turning to his visitor
said, GLOW did you treat Mrs. W
when you were counting her and how
did you feel toward her at the time OF
your MARRIAGE"
Squire W-replied, 81 treated her
as kindly as 1 could, for l loved her
dearly at that time"
"WelI, sir, said the Governor, ego
home and court her now just as you
did then, and love her as when you
married her. Do this in the fear OF
God for one year, and then tell me the
result
The Governor added, ELet us pray
They bowed in prayer and separated.
When the year passed away Squire
W-called again to see the Cove
nor, and said: az have called to thank
you for the good advice you gave me
and to tell you that my wife and are
as happy as when first we were
married. 1 cannot be grateful enough
for your good counsel"
81 am glad to hear it, Mr.. W.
said the Governor, 'and hope you
will continue to court your wife as long
as you live"

While Horace Greeley was in New
Orleans he visited large sugar planta-
ton where the plOughing is done by
steam. A large number of gentlemen
accompanied the distinguished visitor.
An abundant lunch was, of course. an
important incident of the day. On this
interesting occasion not only was Mr..
Greeley true to his temperance princi-
pies, but the example had a wonderful
effect upon the others. AS the New
Orleans Times informs rs, :ciaret was
ignored" Al the yiaitors drank milk,
the consumption of which amounted to
cat least half q dozen gallons" We
congratulate Mr.. Greeley on this effort
of his philanthropic influence. WheE
the men of New Orleans Leave qlaret tc
drink milk, the millennium must in
deed be near at hand.

The San Francisco Bulletin. says that
alfalfa, the new grass discovered in
California, in regard to which so much
has been written, is nothing but the
lucerne grass, well known in the At
lantic States. Still, it is a great thing
for California, as it is the only grass
well adapted for diary purposes which
will live through the six months
ofdry weather, and is very productive.
The Bulletin says that ten acres sown
to alfalfa will produce more forage
than one hundred acres of ordinary pas
ture The editor has seen patches this
year which have been cut twice, the
yield each time being very large, and
three more crops are expected from the
same land. This grass sends its roots
down to the moisture, lives and grows
during the dryest season, provided it
once gets good start, and when the
land is rich and well titled the yield is
wonderful.

1t is estimated that there are 1000
Chinese laborers employed on sugar
plantations in Louisiana, obtained
chiefly from California; and number
of agents have been sent recently to
California, China and the West Indies
to secure larger supply of them. The
majority of the planters who have tried
them prefer them to negroes. They
are extremely exacting in regard to a
precise fulfillment of the conditions of
their contracts on the part of their en-
plOyers, but the higher wages paid
sometimes leads them to break their
own obligations. They are slow at
their tasks, but sure and nice. Their
weakest point is in blowing, as they
cannot manage mules. In this the col
ored laborers have a great advantage
over them, for no one can handle mule
so well as negro. But the Chinaman
cannot understand the mule, and the
mule is quite as much puzzled by the
Chinaman.

from Mr.. Miller, of the firm of Miller,

suit of his observations in the State.

1t seems by telegraph dispatch that
the French papers are greatly divided
on the settlement of questions affecting
the future of that country. We feared
this would be the case. With the ma

be surprised if there is much more
trouble before the country becomes en-
tirely tranquil.

Bismarck has all necessary confidence
in himself. He has instructed all the
German ambassadors abroad that the
Prussian Office of Foreign Affairs does
not need their opinions or sugges-
tons upon diplomatic matters. They
are simply to transmit facts to that
Office, and he will try to decide upon
them. This reduces the German
diplomatic body to q position not high

 Hedlth.
 ST. ALBANs, Vermont, September 1, 1S71.-I have sent you various pa pers with articles referring to Indian troubles in Arizona. The editorial in the paper called "Every Saturday" is good illustration of the mistaken reports and false sentiments which prevail throughout New England, and which are encouraged by telegrams from Washington like the following, which appeared in The Boston Traveller a day or two since:
 It is stated by the Indian Bureau that nearly all the recent disturbances among the Indians in Montana and Arizona are directly traceable to white settlers.
 My first impulse was to promptly reply to the article in "Every Satur- day. and show the great delusion under which the writer of the same was laboring, but I feared my state ments, however truthful and conclu- sive, might provoke controversy which my physical condition is not yet equal to. And furthermore, l doubt the propriety of my attempting, under any circumstances, to answer the newspaper misrepresentations, which are gross and constant, excepting from my seat in Congress.
 1 am fully alive, however, to the rank injustice done by the press to my constituents, and at the proper time and place 1 will renew my efforts to put them in the right light before the government, and the eastern public
 I have now been here several weeks and the mountain air has, 1 think, improved my general health, but my remaining eye is yet so much affected by the inflammation from which 1t suffered, and by sympathy with the one from which the sight is gone, that I can use it but little, and in reading or writing at all,. l disregard the advice of the oculist.
