IRISH pOPLIN.

We owe this beautiful fabric to what was
Nearly two centuries ago, II band of exiled
IIuguenots from France landed on the coast
of Ireland Few in numbers, yet indus
trious, this little band of intelligent men
established the silk trade which has since
been modified into the manufacture of pop
lin. They located at Dublin, in the Coombs,
where the wooden trade of Ireland formerly
flourished. Here the silk weavers were i'm
peded by every possible restriction, and by
u variety of legal enactments but the
present prosperity of the trade is owing to
what was at that time considered their
greatest misfortunc-thc inadequate supply
of silk. Necessity compelled the unhappy
silk wpaverS to employ another material 10
exc out the scsnty supply of silk. Natural
ly they took wool or wors,ed for the wefts
and thus poplin was introduced. OF the
beauty of Irish poplin there Is no occasion
to speak, but the enduring qualities Of this
choice fabric nre not we'll known. Being
made of pure silk and pure wool, poptfn
yields to tho slightest pressure, and this
qualify insuroe an absence of permanent
folds, which spoil the effect Of any dress,
however rich me texture. As the wearer of
Irish poplin moves, Il wave of colors seems
to run through the fabric while the colors
of poplin appear more beautiful than those
Of any other material.

THE FoRrIElCArIoNs OF MAYENcE.

The Pail Mall Gdzettc, in speaking of the
Notifications Of Germany, says: Much has
been remarked of late of the new fortifica-
tions approaching completion round Metz
and strasblrg but those of the older bull
wark of Germany at Mayence are but little
behind them in Importance. NJ. Viollet-le-
Dues recent history of fortitication records
no more striking change in the views of that
art than that which the modern outworks of
Maycnce disclose for they cover and in
clude the very ground from which an army
Of 10000 Frcnchmcn carried on the siege
of that city at the close of the last century,
and, indeed, extend even far beyond Piche-
grr,'s old lines of attack. Resting at either
extremity security on the convenient bends
of tie Rhine, the front they form is much
less than either Of Ma,z or S;rasburg, but
they are of remarkable strength, especially
the liaufstcin for, which is the key of the
whole, and dominates like great citadel
from II central point t.ie wide plateau which.
lies 10 the south of the city, and rises 50
high as 10 seem formally 10 command 1t.
