The report Of the Department of Agriculture
for February, says the Charleston Is. C.)
Courier, contains an item on one new branch
of industry which will doubtless be extensively
engaged in throughout some portions Of the
Southern States IL il in reference to the
manufacture OF strip from sweet potatoes OF
the yam variety. The average product is said
to be over two gallons of strip tn every bushel
Of sweet potatoes and that the resduum after
the Juice has been extracted, IL a valuable ed-
BILE for either man or beast. As there are large
and extensive tracts Of barren ''piney woods I"
lands throughout Arkansas and Georgia and
other Southern States, which are almost worth
less for any pnrpOse, except that they appear
to he peculiarly adopted to the growth of the
sweet potato, the development Ofthis new branch
of industry will prove a God to those
hitherto barren and unproductive regions. If
n man with one mule can cultivate fifteen acres
in potatoes, and the yield will exceed on an
average two hundred bushels to the acre, we
have as the result of one mans labor six
thousand gallons of strip, which is probably
worth not less than fifty cents per gallon, al
the strip is said to surpass that OF the beet in
delicacy of flavor 1t is stated in the report
above referred to that the yield of sirup from
sweet potatoes is much more abundant than
from bects, and, such bieng the case, there can
be no reason why the sugar product from the
same source should not be propOrhonately
greater.

TOOmbs and Ben Wade.

Toombs fought shy Of Douglas, whom he ad-
mired and sometimes feared; but he assailed
Seward and Wade, ridiculing them as "sanscu-
lotte lacklanders," whom he denounced as tres
passers who ought to be kicked off the public do
main. lie shook his fist at Seward, who hap
peued at the moment to be quietly smoking a
cigar at the doorway OF the cloak-room, and
arraigned him destitute Of all statesman like
ideas, and only playing the slippery arts of a
small demagogue. Then turning to Wade,
whose seat was nearly by the side of his own,
Toombs, This knotted locks bristling with ex-
citement,) sneered at Wade, who till then he
always supposed was man Of moderate cour-
age, for being afraid of the lackanders and for
skulking from the real questions at issue.
This personal sally brought Wade to his feet +;
his eye flashed defiance. Stepping up to 1oombs,
and bringing his fist heavily on the desk he
said, liz tones that made the chamber ring /:
Afraid j am not aware that ever saw any
thing or anybody under the Almighty Heaven

back little. - Skulk the ssue?' No ~ thun-
dered Wade IL am ready to go to the people
upon it-"Land for the Iandless Us. Niger for
the niggeriess " The packed galleries could
stand it no longer and broke out with applause,
which in spite of Vice President Breckenridge's
gavel rose, as Douglas shook hands with Wade,
into three cheers for "Old Ben and the Little
Giant
The marrow of the controversy was touched
when Mason declared that no Democrat holding
the doctrines of the Senator from Illinois could
get single electoral vote from the South in the
next Presidential campaign, which Douglas in
stantly checkmated by the vehement assertion
that no Democrat who held the sentiments of
the Senator from Virginia could carry single
Congressional district in the North. The pro
phecy of each was fulfilled in 1860, when Brecks
enridge and Dou glas were the Democratic can
didates of their respective sections. -Remsnts-

The manufacture of cheap plated rubber,
and horn jewelry, says Boston commercial
paper has grown to be very large, prosperous,
and increasing business, and in Boston alone
there are five or six wholesale dealers, who
represent q capital of between $500, 900 and
100000. Many new styles of pins, buttons,
ladies' sets, &c., are now coming on the mark
ct, and the demand for "badge pin is almost
incredible, as every society and club adopts
some emblem to be worn as apin.
A London correspondent says it is almost
impossible now to induce any publisher in that
city to accept a manuscript which severely
criticises or ridicules the manners and customs
of this country not perhaps from any particular
good feeling towards America, but because so
many such ventures have proved financial fail
ures. At the same time books of travel honestly
descriptive of the cities and people of the
United States are reported to be in demand.

Qua PINs-There are eight pin factories in
the United States, whose annual production is
100000 packs, each pack containing 1850
pins, total of 6. 100 0OO, 900 pins. One manu-
facturers agent in Boston, says the Bulletin,
sells every six months from 700 to 900 cases
of pins, each case containing 672 900 pins. The
factory he represents turns out eight tons OF
pins per week Hairpns are jobbed by the
cask. There is but one factory that produces
them. They turn out fifty tons per month.
The machine that cuts and bends the wire makes
800 hairpins per minute ready for jappaning.
Yankee pins are saable in nearly every city Of
the world, and the production and consumption
increases each year about ten per cent. A very
large per centage of the hairpins in general
use are imported. The tariff does not protect
this item of American industry, hence the pub
lie pay for them just about third more than
they are worth. Yankee enterprise is now seek
ing to develop more rapid manufacture and o
more desirable metal or substance, and in this
way successfully compete with foreign makes
and cut down the cost.

AMERICAN NEGROES,

with jealousy, he rushed from his hiding place
as soon as Heinrich had left the spot, thrust
his sword into the damSel bosom, and fed

afterwards, AMI popular suspicion was divided

with the custom OF the age, both were put to
the torture, aud both protested their innocence.
The ElectOr in his perpexity decreed that each
Of the parties accused should throw pair of
dice, and that he whose throw was lowest
should be deemed guilty OF murder.
"Observe the progress OF enlightenment In
less than a century" exclaimed Edgar. Our
old friend John George, with his inverted lin
den trees, was apparently inclined towards the
policy Of those wise schOolmasters who, when
they could not detect the perpctrator OF some
mischevous deed, fogged their pupils all

In both stories the Elector, said Maxi

though in one only is miraculous intervention
manifestly invoked. The body guards were
all assembled to witness the trial of the dice.
For the table stood drum, near which cof-
fin was placed, while a reverend gentlemaR
was in attendance to perform the last Offices.
Rudolph, who began the contest, threw pair
of skies and his victory seemed secure. Helm
rich, undauntel, impIored Heaven to bear
witness to his innocence, and, as if in answeS
to his prayer, one of the dice was. spll

by this extraordinary phenomenon, Rudolph
