The T0w-Boat monopoly on the Lever
MISSISSIPPI.

The tow-boat monopoly at the mouth
of the Mississippi has doubtless, as is
usually the case with monopolies,
over-reached themselves. In their
seltishness they have persistently so
managed affairs as to impede the Gov
eminent dredging service, and do great
damage to commerce. They have, for
instance, made it point to run vessels
which they were towing aground in
such manner that they would
swing across the channel dredged by
the engineers. La this position, five
hours suffces TO accumulate bar of
sediment about the vessel, thus stop
ping up the way. At they receive 500
an hour for towing vessels over the bar,
this has proved a profitable specula-
ton. The resolution introduced in
the House by Stone, of Missouri, in
structing the Commerce Committee to
prepare law to facilitate the execu-
ton of, and to protect public works of
river and harbor improvements. to the
end that private individuals and cor
porations may not destroy such works
without suitable penalties, was agreed
upon by the Congressional cheap
transportation caucus Saturday night,
to cover this case, and was promptly
passed This action, when fully car
ried out, viii have the effect to COM
pletely muzzle the tow-boat monopoly,
and will Prove great benefit TO the
commerce of the Southwest.

MYSTERIES OF the Shawl Trade.

\ Paris letter says: "Before leaving
this subject [ must relate a curious
discovery on this occasion. NJ. Guye-
taut took me to see one of his first ar.
fists, who works at home. In the front
room Of modest apartment was the
intelligent artist working at his lathe,
and in the back room was his wife
working upon an Indian shawl. A fine
cashmere, worth 1000 francs, or, per
haps, 81, 900 in New York, was cut up
into strings OF figures, and glancing at
it [ could not help crying: All how
in the world did this fine shawl get so
badly damaged Was it eaten by the
rats 2 Madame Guyetaut laughed, and
said Oh, ouvriere Monsieur, it is
not damaged at all; I'm rear
ranging It,. Probably my lady readers
will be as much surprised as | was to
find out that these costly shawls are
purposely cut in pieces and then
sewed together again. The philosophy
OF it is this: Some years the fashion
is for white figures, running about in
scrolls as IN cashmeres, and sometimes
for black. Hence shawls with white
ground figures are cut when black sell
best, and the black cuttings sewn in.
Sometimes, when a lot of shawls has
been for many years on hand, the dis
position of the figures is changed, in
order to suit the prevailing taste. Now,
the work was done SO well that / could
not distinguish the seams but it
seems to me that if | were to buy a
shawl worth a thousand dollars l should
greatly prefer to have it as it came
from the Indian loom. / was told that
hundreds of those rearranged shawls
are annually sold to American ladies at
very large prices; and if those who
have them find that they come in
pieces, they will understand the reason.
! They have only to send the shawl to
some racommodense, like the person
of whom | write, and the work will be
elegantly done again. This industri-
Gus artist, and his not less industrious
wife, earn a very handsome living from
| their common labor.

4 Woman with Ravenous Appetite.

We have had many examples of fast
ing girls. This IS an older disease,
however, than voluntary fasting-a
malady called hunger, which may be
seen at workln many of our great cities.
There is an old woman at this moment
in an hospital III Italy, who Is suffering
from very acute form of this disease.
She, every day, eats at least five por-
tons of roast meat, seventy eggs, four.
teed loaves, a quantity of fish and
other food, of course including a good
quantity of maccaroni. When at
tempts are made to reduce her diet she
raves like a mad women. An eminent
professor has recently undertaken to
cure the poor woman, but up to the
present time her appetite remains un-
impaired. Surprising her appetite IN.
creases2 The prices of "loaves and
fishes" must certainly go up in Italy.

Quicksilver Waste.

AT the new Almaden Quicksilver
Works, some years ago, 1t became
necessary to pull down a portion OF
the old retorting furnaces to make
room for other machinery. Upon in,
vestlgation 1t was discovered that the
ground where the furnaces had stood
was completely saturated with quick
silver. The company set a body of
hands to work upon the spot with
hydraulic pipes, and the amount of
quicksilver which was sluiced out in a
short space cf time was prodigious.
The deeper the work proceeded, the
richer was the yield of mercury. Points
were reached where the liquid metal
could be dipped up with ladies', and it
was ascertained that even the bed rock
"a soft tertiary sandstone-was com
pletely saturated with the liquid min.
eral. Much of this porous rock was
qusrried and retorted, but at length
the cost of the work exceeded the profit,
and the work was abandoned. -Vir-

The Cooling Moth.
At the late meeting of the Illinois
Horticultural Society, DR.. G. V. Riley,
State EntomoIogist of Missouri, thus
treated of this imported pest of the
orchard
The moth is not a native, but is an
importation from the orchards of Eu-
rope 1t has now spread over the whole
country from Maine to west of the
Rocky Mountains 1t has proved TO be
one of the most damaging of all the
insects that infest the apple-orchard !;
while the pear and other calyxed fruits
also suffer from it, as the eggs are only
laid III the blossom end of the fruit,
or the calyx. The moth is seldom seen
IN the day time, being nocturnal in it's
habits. After Matching, which mostly
occurs at night, it lets itself down by a
sllken thread. or crawls down the
trunk of the tree and changes to Dupa
Enclosed In a sIlken covering. These
pupR We find under the loose bark of
the apple.
The insect is double-brood ed-the
first having been deposited in the calyx
of the fruit, soon after the fruit is set :;
and about SIX weeks after the falling of
the blossoms this first brood of worms
leave the fruit az stated above. The
second brood follow this, and are
found III the Interpreting fruit, and do
not leave the apple until they are put
into the barrels. Bandages, old shin
giles, and other bands, are put on the
trees. Under these the insects make
their changes to the pupa state, and
are thus destroyed. Paper makes the
cheapest bandage of all, and costs but
a triie. The scraping of the trees, to
get rid of the rough bark, is nseful
The use of Walls of liquid and of light,
TO destroy the insect, appears to be of
no value.

4 Genuine Case of Leprosy IN Detroit.
From the Detroit Free Press, Feb. ..

From the Detroit Free Press, Feb .
There is at present in one of the
public institutions of this city a genu-
inc well-defned case of leprosy. The
victim is John Mccarthy, a native of
Buffalo, aged twenty-one years. He
has been afflicted with it ever since his
earliest recollection, and has led a
vagrant life, wandering, hopeless out
cast, from city to city, occasionally
dropping into almshouses, and ire
quently finding refuge in penal insti-
buttons as vagrant. Mccarthy is
covered with white scales, which fall
off constantly, and are as constantly
renewed. They are or the scalp, face,
and hands, and also cover some por-
tons eof the body half an inch in
thickness, having the appearance of
dried Goldfish skin.
Physicians, accustomed as they ale
to sad sights, have turned away from
the contemplation of McCarthy's hor-
rible case, sick in body and spirit.
The patient is rapidly becoming i'm
beetle from disturbed nutrition and
want of sleep. The entire part of the
affected region is mass of leprous
irritation, and a shower of scales flies
off with the least motion, the bed pre-
senting the appearance somewhat OF
having been literally strewn with
coarse bran. Medicines have thus far
had but little effect, owing in part, no
doubt, to bad hygiene, poor food and
insufficient clothing. Now his con
dition seems a little improved. Even
should he improve for time, the dis
ease would probably return with all
its original virulence.
Mccarthy long since reached a con
dition of mind where he regards the
prospect of death as a blessing in
finitely to be preferred to longer en-
durance of his present pitiable COZ,
dition. Such is leprosy.
