TIE F1NENEss OF SILK FIBRE.-The
smallest sized specimens OF sewing sli1
manufactured measure about t&enty-two
hundred yards, or over one and one
fourth miles to the ounce. Even in the
construction of this variety, so fine and
gossamer-like that it is used only in the
most delicate branches of needle work,
sometimes from 200 to 400 fbres of the
material, as originally spun by the silk
worm, are required in order to assume
the requisite size. The little vermiform
artists which produce this beautiful ma
terial do not spin threads of uniform
size. Perhaps no two spin exactly alike;
therefore there may be as many differ
ent sizes of the worm fiore produced,
and as wide contrast in texture and
quality, as appear in the finished article
of sewing silk after it has been subject
ed to the manipulations OF human
skill and ingenuity. The smallest fibre
of silk, as wrought by the worm into
the exquisite structure of its cocoon, is
SO infinitely minute that every ounce of
the manufactured thread is supposed to
contain nearly 1900 miles of this floss
like strand, and the puny animal some
times elaborates fibre of such marvel
Gus tenuity that less than four pounds
of the thread, avoirdupois, would reach
ro und the world.

PACKING BUTrER.--A new method of
packing butter for the retail trade has
been invented which promises to an
swere a want long felt. The new proc
ess is described as follows: A firkin or
barrel is prepared by filling to 1. prop
per depth with strong and pure brine.
The butter, as it is taken from the churn
and prepared for the market, IS careful
ly selected as to color and quality. and
inclosed in plain cotton bags OF sacks,
weighing from five to ten pounds each.
These sacks are laced in the barrel or
firkin, fresh and sweet, and as the brine
completely covers them they can be Kept
in this condition for any length of time,
it is claimed, without any deterioration
in quality. One great advantage that is
claimed for this new style of packing is
that dealers can take one or mere of the
bags from the original package, leaving
the rest safe under cover Of the brine
and excluded from the air. The bags
are suited to. the retail trade, as they
are just about what is usually needed
orfamily use, but are at the same time
so conveniently arranged that any small
er amount can be cut from them in the
handiest manner. This is an exper-
linen. in. packing butter, but it is wor
thy of consideration by retail Dealers

CHARCOAL FOR AE1IALS.--It is difficult
to doctor brute animals, because they
cannot tell what is the matter with them.
and probably three quarters of the at
tempts made to relieve them only make
matters worse. Generally they are sick
from over-eating. or from excitement
and over-heating. 1t is not uncommon
for horse or COW in theipasture to eat
too much green clover. or apples; or
something else disaranses their stom-
ach; or in the barn they will get into the
meal barrel, and suffer from. the effects.
In all such cases the remedy is pulver-
i.zed charcoal. Take It new from the

REMEDY FOR WoUNDs.-A correspon-
dent of the Coetntry Gentleman gives the
following as one Of the lest remediC s
known for the cure of wounds: ''Take
a pan or shovel with burning Goals, and
sprinkle upon them some common GROWN
sugar, and hold the wounded part in the
smoke. In few minutes the pain will
be allayed, and recovery proceed RAPIDLY.
In lay own case rusty nail had made
a bad wound in the bottom of my foot.
The pain and nervous irritation were
severe. This was all removed by hold
ing it in the smoke for fifteen minutes,
and l was able to resume my reading in
comfort. We have often recommended
it to others, with like results. Lately,
one Of my men had finger nail torn
ont by IL pair of ice tongs. 1t became
very painful, as was to have been expect
ed. Held in sugar smoke for some
twenty minutes, the pain ceased, and it
promises speedy recovery
This sounds very much like one Of
those remedies which need supplement
ing by an abundant faith to produce
heir beneficial effect. The products of
the imperfect combustion of sugar are

HEROIC OBEDIENCE TO DUTY.-Ma any
can still recollect when tidings came Of
the silent heroism with which more than
five hundred soldiers, in the wreck OF
the Birkenheed, met death in the spirit
Of obedience to duty; and that, too, when
there was none of the excitement of
battle and of victory to cheer them on.
The soldiers stood in their ranks on the
deck of he sinking ship while the wom-
en- and children we've quietly put into
one of the boats. Every one did as
he was directed" says Capt. Wright,
one of the few who escaped to tell the
tale; land there was not a murmur or
a cry among them till the vessel made
her final plunge. All the officers re-
ceiyed their orders. and hac them car
ried out, as if the men were embarklng
instead of going to the bottom. There
was only this difference, that | never
saw any embafkation conducted with so
little noise and confusion. When the
vessel was just going down, the COM
mander hot of the soldiers, but of
the ship" called out, All those who
can swim, jump overheard, and make
for the boats The officers begged the
men not to do as the commander said,
as the boat with the women must be
swamped Not more than three made
the attempt. And SO they sank among
the waves, carrying the habits Of duty,
which they had learnt as soldiers, into
il al last act Of self-sacaifce.'

much of the deposits is within the. Com

iron has been made. which has been
successfully tested at Portland foundIies.
Iron ore has also been discovered by the

Owing to our absence from home, we
have not learned any particulars of the
trial of Mrs. Lynes, the wife of an EpiscO-
pal minister at ThibOdaux, who was charged
with having murdered, by hanging, negro
servant girl. The trial was to have taken
place before Judge Train last week at
Brashear City, but we presume it was post
pOned. We have never fully learned the
particulars, but from what we can gather
it appears that the girl was bound to
the family for a term Of years, and
came with them from Florida. Hav-
ing promised the girls mother to
properly rear her, she vas striving to
do so, even against the adviceOf her friends,
whO seeing that she was vicious, advised
Mrs. Lynes to turn her away. While pun
ishing her, the girl resisted; then Mrs.
Lynes tied her with rope, one end fastened
to a beam above. BY the girl struggling,
the rope got around her neck, and she was
strangled to death while alone. Great ex-
element followed; negroes sought to lynch
the unfortunate lady; the citizens armed,
turned out and prevented them; and
change of venue brought the case before
our district court. All the negroes believe
her innocent of murder
