Making Love.

In Seville, which is popularity supposed
to be 10 Spain, there is in use most felici-
tious invention in the way Of making love,
clandestinely. After dark, young cabei.
leros steal beneath their lady's lattice-.
which. perchance, is in the third story
aid softly unscrewing the handle Of their
walking sticks, proceed to extract from
the same, which are hollow, length after
length Of hollow tubing, screwing them to.
gether after the fashion of Japanese
fishing pole, or the old apparatu, where
with sweaps clean chimneys. 4 mouth
piece is fitted into each end and one raised
to the window above. Soon, by the aid of
this improvised speaking-tubc, two souls
with certain unanimity Of thought, and
two hearts with possible unison or pull.
sation, are softly communing. Now all
this is very nice, seIuctively romantic and
all that sort of thing, but mark what the
knowledge Of it brought to a certain youth
of Baltimore. He had read or heard of it,
and happening to have supersttious af-
fection for a young and wealthy lady,
which she as superstitously reci procated,
he determined with her connivancc to
avail himself of it. He got tin pipe of
the desired length, made by tinuer, and
in each end of it placed, for want Of bet
ter mouth. piece, funnel. Delicious con-
versation went on, he sitting on the top
of water barrel and she leaning from her
window above. They would converse for
hours, and exchange all the soft nonsense
in the world, and he would uuship his ap-
puratus, put the tunnels in his pocket,
wrap the pieces up in newspaper, and 80
home in condition Of ETHEREAL bliss.
The course of true love never did run
smooth. and one evening the old gentle.
man, smoking in tho back garden at an
unusual hour, saw the young gentleman
arrive. fix up his apparatus, and commence
his soul.communipg operations. He made
up his mind in minute He went into the
kitchen and asked for pitcher Of boiling
water it was handed to him, and off he
posted up stairs. Just as he reached his
daughters door he commenced calling to
her. So telling her lover to wait min
ute, she came to the door. "Nellie, my
dear, run up to my room and get me my
spectacles I'll wait here till you come
down." She disappeared up the stairs,
and he stole cautiously to the window.
The moment he touched the funnel the
amorous and uususpectiug youth clapped
his mouth to it to resume where he had
broken Off" my darling, you cannot
imagine how -" just then the old gen.
tleman commenced assiduously filing that
funnel with the hot water. aud the rest of
that miserable youths sentence was never
heard. He wore -four on his face for a
fortnight after, and declines to go into
society just at present.

Oregon Cloths.

We are glad to observe that the wool.
len manufactures Of the Pacific coast
begin to attract attention ON the Attain
tic side. We have long contended
that the cloths and cassimeres of Orc.
gon were superior to those Of the
Eastern States, and our estimate of
their quality is sustained by recent
comparisons OF the fabrics OF the two
sections. The WOODEN goods manu-
factured in Oregon are all acool, and
not half shoddy and cotton, as are
those of the Atlantic States and, We
may add, of Great Britain also.
Hence their superiority. It is true
that in dycing they are inferior, but
the excellence and purity Of their
texture more than atones for that de-
ticieucy. OF all the impositions prac.
tiscd in late years, that Of the shoddy
cloths-old, rotten wooden rags torn
up ana worked in with new wool-is
the most damnable. And large pro.
potion Of the cloths and ready made
clothing from the East are of this ma
terial. The time has not yet conc
for the making Of shoddy cloths on
this coast; until it does come, We
shall regard Oregon woolen goods as
superior to Eastern. 1865
In the New York Tribune of the
18th ult. we find the following brief
notice of some Oregon wooden goods
recently introduced in that city:
Cassimeres of decided excellence OF
material and texture, manufactured
at Oregon City. Oregon, may be seen
and bought at the store Of Toklas,
Ham & Co., No. 80 Warren street.
Goods of more elegant finish abound;
we believe these would outwear tho
best Of them. Chinese labor is that
mainly employed in their production.
We have heretofore spoken Of the
peerless bed blankets fabricated in
California; but we arc not aware
that Oregon woolens were ever before
offered for sale in this city. These
are surely worth scrutiny.
The Tribune is right in stating
that these will ontwear the best Of
the Eastern cloths. Having tried
both, alternately, we know whereof
we speak when we assert that they
(the Oregon cloths) possess twice the
durability, twice the comfort. and
afford twice the satisfaction obtained
from wearing the miserable shOtidy
goods now manufactured in England
and the Atlantic States.-1ribune.
