Justice to &. Washington.

A petition to Congress to prohibit
the calling of any more children by
the name of " George Washington !"
is IN circulation. Something like this
is due to the memory of the great
Virginian. He is entitled to be call
ed the "Father OF his Country, !"
witho, begettlng the susEecion that
he is father of his. countrymen.-
Moreover, the modern George
Washington lies and steals outrage
ously He is already in Jail in vari-
Gus parts Of the country. The leav-

in the dearth of cherry trees, their
mischief rises to the level Of every

A physician In Pittsburgh was
called to prescribe tor somewhat
illiterate old lady, and as cod liver
oil, in his opinion, was the remedy
for her complaint, wrote a prescrip
llon tor the apothecary to put up,
with the Latin TO. mula, 'Ok Jac ass,
being an abrevation of Okeum Jacorts
-Asselh, or in plain English, cod liver
oil. The medicine was procured,
taken, and IN few weeks, the old
lady completely recovered her
health. A nelghbor paid her visit
after her improved condition, and in.
CURED the secret of so rapid resto-
ration. "Why," said the old lady,
"it was that beautiful medicine, the
Oil OF Jackass, that brought me to
my feet again" Is it any wonder
that the Legislature wanted to pass
drug bill

How Manufactures Build Cities.

The existence OF the mecl anical
class in community is sure index
OF the prosperity OF the place. The
great want of Washington is manu-.
factories or mills that will bring TO
GU, city intelligent mechanics to set
tie permanently. We have from
time to time published facts relating
to the amount Of money circulated
in Eastern towns and villages by
mills and factories. We now wish
to draw the attention OF our readers
to the West, and select one city
among the many where a most
astonishing growth has taken place.
Milwaukee possesses peculiar advan-
tage tor manufacturing, and her &C.
tive business men have avalled them
selves Ut fine harbor and good rail
road communications TO reach out
and grasp the prize OF success. The
iron business has gone on increasing,
aud one company last year turned
out over twenty five thousand tons
OF railroad iron, beside a vast amoun:
of pig iron. The value of the rails
alone was two million dollars, and
the number Of men employed nearly
one thousand, who monthly received
and distributed among the merchants
and shop.keepers, fifty to sixty thous-
and dollars Thus it will be seen
that laboring men reap large part
OF the profit OF making iron, and one
company keeps in circulation in one
Western city fully two millions a
year. In three years the production
OF these mills have tripled, and few
years OF proper Protection will place
the West and its iron producers
alongside Of those of Pennsylvania.
In other branches Of industry the
good city Of Milwaukee has proud
record. There are over thirty tan
neries IN operation, employing nearly
a thousand men; twenty or thirty
furniture factories. producing goods
worth fully million dollars; one ma
chine shop alone turning out hall
million OF fine goods, and employing
constantly over two hundred hands
The car shops employ five hundred
men OF all trades, and the soap and
candle.makcrs employ two hundred
more. The manufacture Of packing
boxes tor goods shipped consumes
five million feet ot lumber annually
while no end of barrels and kegs are
made tor The famous "Milwauke,
beer" employing over three hun
dred men III the varloas Dreweries

"Why, sir, you must have lived
here very long time"

Tonnage Of Soah's Ark.

Captain Geo. w. Girdon, who has
had some experience with floating
crafts, tells US that in figuring up the
tonnage of Noah's Ark, he makes it
22,368 tons. This, he says, exceeds
the tonnage of all the 125 steamers
floating on the Mississippi and it's
tributaries, from St. LOUIS to St.
Panl, including passenger, freight,
ferry and tow boats. From this it
will be seen that Noah commanded a
big craft Galena Gazette.

The Sewing Machine. i.

A strange vibration from the cottage win
My vagrant steps delayed,
And half abstracted, like an ancient Hin
doc,
paused beneath the shade.
What is, said, this unremitted hummine
Louder than bees in spring?
As unto prayer the murmnrous answer com
ing,
Shed from Sa ndalphon's wing.
Is this the sound Of unimpeded labor,
That now userpeth play?
Our harsher substitute for pipe and tabor
Ghittern and virelay!
Or, is it yearning for higher vision,
BY spiritual hearing heard
Nearer drew, to listen with precision,
Detecting not q word.
Then. peering through the pane, as men of
sin do,
Myself the while unseen,
marked n maiden seated by the window,
Sewing with q machine.
Her gentle foot propelled the tireless
treadle,
Her gentle hand the seam:
My fancy said, it were bliss to peddle
Those shirts, as in dream!
Her lovely fingers lent to yoke and collar
Some imperceptible taste
The rural swain, who buys it for dollar,
BY beauty is embraced.
o fairer ASPECT of the common mission
Only tho Poet sees
Ine true significance, the high position
OF such small things as these.
Not now doth Toll, a brutal Boanerges,
Deform the maiden's hand;
Her implement its soft sonata nerges
Iu songs Of sea and land.
And thus the hum of the unspooling cotton,
Blent with her rythmic tread,
Shall still be heard, when virclays are for
gotten,
And troubaiours are dead.
