Barrel Making by Machinery.

The New York Tribune says that the
strike of the coopers in Brooklyn early
this year led to the establishment Of q
steam cooper shop in that city, which
gives employment to over 300 hands,
and turns out over $500 sugar barrels
daily. The demand for the barrels made
by steam has been so great that the
manufactory is being extended to oc-
cupy the whole of one block and half
of another, and when completed it will
be able to turn out 5000 barrels day.
The slaves are cut by machinery, OF
two widths and uniform length. When
they are "stood up" in the frame they
fit together so well that the last stave
has to be driven into its place with q
hammer, but does not need TO be
trimmed. The rough barrels, having
had hoops fastened around each end
are put in furnaces and heated, and are
then rolled by two disks, which press
equally on each of the ends and force
the slaves homes. The barrels are then
taken to the trimming machine, which
cuts off the rough ends, gives them the
proper level, and cuts the grooves for the
heads. The wooden hoops having been
nailed on and one head put in place, the
barrels are finished. The heads are cst
by machinery in Michigan, and are
formed of three pieces. They are go
uniform in size that there is no trouble
about fitting them to the barrels at tho
manufactory. Flour barrels can be
made by the same process

Daniel g.. Byeriy, I'm New Orleans.
Several days ago published
courteous letter in the daily papers IN
answer to q proposition made by the
Bulletin to re.establish Star cars upon
the city railroads. This letter showed
that the Conservative party did not
sanction that recommendation that is
was both injudicious and unwise. L
took the letter to the Bulletin Office
myself, and saw both Mr.. Byerly the
manager, and Mr.. Jewell, one of tho
editors. Mr.. Jewell objected strongly
to its sentiments, and Mr.. Byerly told
me, Governor, if You publish that let
ter we will ruin you" Before leaving
/ said, Gentlemen, disagree with nae
as much as you choose, dispute and
contovert my sentiments and won't
complain, but don't attack me person
ally" The next day the Bulletin con-
tanned violent and abusive personal
attack upon me. The same evening an
anonymous letter also appeared abusing
me outrageously. The next mornings
(Thursday) issue came out with a cob
umn and a half leader charging me-
with all kinds of political enormities,
among others with being the father Of
the Printing bill. The next day / pub
lished card showing that Mr. Jewell
had offered to vote for the Printing
bill, providing he received $50, 600
worth OF printing for the paper he then
edited. Early next morning Christ
mas) / was waited upon by two
friends of Mr.. Jewell, who de-
manded an abiect apology. This i
promptly refused. whereupon they
asked me if 1 would meet Mr.. Jewell
This proposition assented to, provided
the meeting be an amicable one. They
did not press this very strongly, how
ever, but afterward asked if / would
accept challenge from Mr.. Jewell. L
replied that it would be time enough TO
answer that question when the challenge
had been received. They then retired,
and in about twenty minutes they re-
turned, bringing me peremptory chal-
lenge. 1 informed them that L would
reply through my friends at 8 O'Clock
that night. I did so, accepting the
cartel and naming dueling pistols at ten
PAGES as my weapon, the time being
fixed for Monday morning, and

all concluding arrangements for the

this morning left my house and went
to the office of my lawyer, Judge Howe,
where / spent some time making an
rangcments in relation to nay will, and
afterward started to go to the mortgage
Office in the same connection. On my
way up Canal street, near the corner Of
Royal, I met Byerly, who suddenly
struck me over the head with heavy
cane. raised my left arm. over which
my overcoat was hanging, in defense,
when the blow was twice repeated
Byerly then seized me and we both fell,
he on top. While in this position
drew from my pocket small pocket
knife, which opened and used I don't
know how many times. The bystanders
then ran in, disarmed me, and pulled
off my assailant, when 1 sprang to my
feet and we separated.
