main, very truly, yours,
MIR. ARcIJER's PrpoRT.

The following is so much ofMr. Archer
Report to the Lafayette County, (Miss }
Grange, as is essential to the purpose of this
article, and all for which we have room:
\ BY appointment from this honorable body,
Non tho 18th Of July last, repaired to the
Mountain Mills" Alabama, in company
th E. L. Whitfield, one of the patentecs
\the Clemens attachment, to examine
Nest the quality and benefits of the new
fhine. And must say, after careful ex-
..sffmcnts and test, of every kind, that am
fu Ssfed of its great utility, and that
s<perform even more than has been
fEs1t,H for u BY she eproprietors. This ma
cn,fe, known hy tkeshame given above, is
simply miniature cotton gin and moter
combined,and attached exacly to that part of
the old iron card stand which accommodates
the part called the "Licker-in"
The Licker-in is akcn off and the attach
ment put on iu its place.
This attachment gins the cotton and dc.
livers it to the card "untangler," clear of
notes and trash and with the fibers straight
and parallel with each other, and also with
the machine, which is discharged through
the doffer in continuous roll or "sliver,"
susceptible at once of great attenuation, and
in the most perfect condition to make the
best of thread
\ We know we are not mistaken, for we fed
the seed cotton and kept sight of the same
ntil the thread or yarns were completed
and handed to us by the boss spinner sam
piles of which are hereby transmitted; also,
samples Of the seed from the cotton slivers
etc, etc, for your inspection. Hence we
conclude many savings and advantages will
accrue in manufacturing of cotton in the
South.
Ginning, baling, COMPRISING, use of the
entire machinery of picker room, and from
two-thirds to four-ffths of tho machinery of
the card room, together with the motive
power, buildings, and operatives necessary
to run said machinery, all rendered useless,
and wholly superseded and so great is the
strength Of the slivers, rovings and thread,
that they seldom let down or break, thereby
enabling fewer number of operatives to
run given amount of machinery in the !
carding, spinning, and weaving room; also
enabling said machinery to do more work.
This amounts in reality to a saving of one
third of the buildings, machinery, motive
power, and operatives, in converting seed
cotton into yarn.

WASHING WooLENs.-Prof. Artus, who
has devoted himself to the discovery of the
reason why woolcn clothing when washed
with soap and water, will insist upon shrink
ing and becoming thick, and acquiring that
peculiar odor and feeling which so annoys
housekeepers, says these evil effects are due
TO the decomposition of soap by the acids
present in the pcrspiration and other waste
OF the skin which the clothing absorbs.-
The fat of the Soap is then preciptated
upon the wool. These effects may be pre-
vented by stepping the articles in warm
solution of washing soda for several hours,
then adding some warm water and few
drops of ammonia. The woolens are then
to be washed out, and rinscd in lukewarm
water.-Enchange. a

POSTS FINANCIAL ARTICLE.

New YORK, April 2l.-The Posts Financial
says at the Stock Exchange there is about the
average business doing. Speculative shares
were weak in the early dealings, but since the
first hour have been strong. Investment
securities, except such as are governed by the
price Of gold, are generally higher. Gold
opened at lis, sold at 1l5a.
At II o'clock the market became heavy and
the price has since fallen to 114a. On old
loans the rates have been fiat 5p cent for
carrying and II cent for use. Gail loans are
easily made to-day at $685. y cent and prime
mercantile paper sells at sos p cent.
Government bonds were strong at the first
board, but lower at the II o'clock CALL be-
cause of the decline in gold; currency skies
were exceptionally strong for several issues;
prices are higher than ever before. st to
bonds at the board were one-eighth lower
for Missouri long skies, one-half for Tennes-
see SKIES, new series, and two per cent for
Tennessee skies, new; North Carolina skies,
special tax, third class, sold at three and one
half.
At the opening the stock maaket was ir-
regular, prices then advanced during the first
fifteen minutes I@s per cent, except North
west. From then until about IL o'clock,
there was a decline Of l@l per cent the
latter in Northwest. The market then became
strong and has since advanced @1s per cent.

Gen. Spinner and the Treasury Ladies.
TEror, In N;rc;npo

lfrOm the Clnclnna COMMERCIAL.
With the resignation of Gen. Spinner, the
women workers of the United States Treasury
lose their long tested and most devoted friend.
There is no government department Of the
capital in which women have suffered such
injustice, defamation and wrong, as in the
Treasury. That wicked men in power have
used this beehive of the government as a
nominal receptacle for women weak as wicked
is most true. That hundreds Of true, refined
gentlewomen have stuff red the great wrong o!
such associates, is equally true.
That the Treasury swarms with ladies' re-
duced from a1fluence to want, who, for the
support of their friends, toll at any task given
them for half the pay that would be given to a
man for the same work, is also true. That
hundreds of women have passed competitive
examinations emitting them to twelve-hun-
dred-dolIar clerkships which were given to
voters, while they were thankful to get nine
hundred-do,lar one, is equally true But
through all the changes Of bureau and depart
mental chiefs; through all their3tribulations of
every SOFT, the women workers of the Treas
ury have been sure Of one unchanging and
GENTLY old and ugly to have no evil motives
set against his kindness even by the most
evil-minded.
Not woman with q grievance, no matter
how she might shrink from the other poten-
tates of the Treasury, in their luxurious
Chairs, but who felt "equal to carry it to
"the General" Every afflicted soul, from
the woman, old and poor, standing under the
scorching roof or scurrying through the
"broom brigade" to Mary Walker, whose
devotion to her principles " in the shape Of
hideous pair of trousers, deservedly causes
her to shed tubs of tears-each and all are
sure of an impartial hearing and Of redress if
possible When the report Of General Spin
ner's resignation spread through the Treasury,
hundreds Of women repaired to his room
to ascertain its truth. When they
found that they were indeed to lose their
friend, they wept till the room resounded

On THE WAY.-It was night A policeman
was pacing his lonely beat, wondering if it

A farmers boy was crossing field where a
very wild and ferocious bull was allowed to
run at large. When the boy had about
reached the middle of the field, he suddenly
saw the bull, with head 10 vered, rushing fa-
riously at him. Being accustomed to manag-
ing cattle, he was in no way disconnected,
and ran to a tree near by and commenced
running around it, with the bull after him;
presently he caught the bull by the tail and
commenced belaboring him numerically with
stick. The bull, finding that "tail" was
turned, started off at run, the boy swinging
to him, bat the faster he ran the more the
boy belabored him, until finally he COM
menced believing 60 said the boy, in
creasing his blows, "you may below, but I'd
like to know who began this?'
