Great oaks from little acorns grow. This

it is as true now as it was then. Fig
uranvcly II applies to the political aud
moral world, as 1t does literally to the

traton OF lis truth in the rapid strides Of

MIR. WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs for Governor
Of the state Of New York. From the
small number Of three originally compos-
ing IT, his purity has suddenly grown to
very considerable proportions. IL was
always respectable; now il is large.

trees on his estate. The cocoons, however,
proved so much less profitable than to-
bacco, that their production rapidly de-
clined. although it was no infrequent oc-
curronce down TO the time Of the Revolu-
ton for delegate to the Colonial Assem-
bly, or a great lady appearing ut colo
NAL Governors reception to wear gar
ments woven of native silk. During the
eighteenth century Georgia and South
Carolina made conspicuous progress in
silk culture, the export of tho raw ma
terial TO England in 1853 having exceeded
ten thousand pounds from the former col
ony alone. In quality the staple seems
TO have been equal, or superior, TO the
Italian; and il is recorded that Mrs. PINcK-
NEY, u lady OF Charleston, took with her
to London some admirable silk which she
had grown and raised on her cstato, and
presented dresses woven of II TO the Dow
ager Princess Of WALES and to Lord CHEs-
TERRIFIED. with the development of cot
ton planting which followed the Revolu-
tionary war, silk culture disappeared in
the Southern States but 1t was ssbse-
quently revived in Connecticut and car
ricd on with considerable spirit during u
part OF the present century. In the town
of Mansfield, for instance, between the
years 1870 and 1880 the silk growers are said
TO have received, mainly in barter, about
$4,000 per annum. The production Of CO.
cOous in the United States eliminated
with tho MOHtS muticdmis mania, hav-
ing attained the astonishing valuation Of
Sl,4OJ,0O0, or almost one-third of the sum
invested in material by our factories dur
ing the past year. Those figures will DO
appreciated when we remember that our
total crop of raw silk in 1876 was not worth
II hundred thousand dollars. Yet the eli
mate OF certain States, aud especially of
California, Is admirably adapted to the
white mulberry tree and TO the finer species
OF silSworns; and nothing binders our
production Of staple far stronger aud
whittier than the Chinese but the want of
cheap labor. In China or Japan good
fceler will run OF from the cocoon pound
and a half or two pounds of silk in n week,
and be satisfied with eight or ten cents u
day. In California the same workman
would demand dollar. Whether II is
possible To contrive n machine which can
be intrusted with the manipulation of SO
fral thing rs a silk cocoon, is one Of the
most important problems propounded to
American invention.

The Indian Bureau swindIe.

The story is current in Russia that about
l75 years ago the Car PETER, travelling
IN Little Russia, was taken sick at GER
tam village, and his suite was found to be
without any brandy; SO IL bottle OF the
liquor was hurriedly obtained for the Car
by requisiuon upon the village. Since
then, ana up 10 very recent date. tho
Clar's brandy has been permanent
ohar-e upon the Russian people. When the
Emperor NICHOLAS discover ed and abol-
1 he'd the fraud the bottle had grown 10 the
u.mcuslous of several puncheOns, and the
trhing occasional rcqulsition upon the
village had swollen into an onerous tax
Nuon whole province. This illustration
@ tho workings Of Russian bureaucracy
does not seem fabulous when we consider
thai IN ioi@ the United States Government
was supposed TO pay, on requisition of tho
Indian Bureau, life annuity to a chief Of
