Cotton Fabrics I'm Iudia.

An English writer in the London Ex-
aminer says:
The marvellous delicacy of touch pos
sesssd by the Indian women counter
balances the inferiority of Indian cotton
in weaving the fine and delicate muslins
to which the names of webs Of woven
air, dew of night, running waters, 4"
etc., are given by the natives They now
use the spinning wheel generally for the
ordinary fabrics, but the. spindle still
holds its place in the hands of the Hin
doc when employed in spinning thread
for the finer muslins For these the
Hindoo woman first cards her cotton
with the jaw bone of the .bonlee fish; she
then separates the seeds by means of
small iron roller, worked backward upon
a fiat board. An equally small bow is
used for bringing it to the state Of downy
fleece, which is made up into small rolls,
to be held in the hand during the pro-
cess of spinning. The apparatus re-
quired for this consists of delicate iron
spindle, having small ball Of clay at
tached to it in order to give it sufficient
weight; in little clay is piece of hard
she'll, on which the spindle turns with
the least degree of friction. Very great
attention is paid to the temperature of
the air duriag the process of spinning,
and the spinners in the dry climate of
the northwest of India actually work
under ground in order to secure moist
and uniform atmosphere.

of nine pounds weight, went safely home

Remarkable Event in Central Park
New York Letter in Missouri Republjcan.I r

The most remarkable event that has
yet occurred in Central Park, happened
there at four o'clock last Friday after
noon. They are making great prepara-
tons to unvaii a statue Of Shakespeare
at the head of the mall. But Mrs.
McClintock, whose husband keeps a
stove store in Catherine street, outdid
EN- all last Friday. This good lady cal
culated it was more than probable the
first of June would witness an increase
in her family, but she had no idea it
would oeesr before. Therefore, with a
party Of friends, she betook herself to
