4 citizen of Sherbrooke. Cauadi. has in
vented a machine for making paper boxes
directly from the pulp. lis operation is
thus described by = local journal: The
pulp. when prepared, is received into 4
hollow cylinder of peculiar construction,
where it assumes the box form; Ii passes
thence into press. where its whole eXte-
rior surface is subjected to n pressure of
four tons to the square inch. From the
press it comes ont firm and hard rs the
bes. cardboard, but still damp; it Is put
into a drying rack and completely dried;
then it is carried to a finishing machine,
which by further pressure finishes il in
any desirable style, plain or embossed
ANY kind of ornamentation in relief can
be given to the box while passing the I'm
ishing machine, in exactly the same time
and with the same ease as the plain box
at the additional expense of the first cost
of the die. From the moment the pulp
leaves the 'pulpiug engine to the moment
when the box is ready to be dried the
whole ofthe work is done automatically.
without being touched by workman's
hand. In the whole operation of convert
ing the pulp into the box ready for sale.
only two BOYS or girls are employed-the
one to arrange the damp boxes in the dry
inc rack, the other to feed them 10 the fin
ishing machine. Collar boxes. four inches
in diameter, and two and a half inches IN
depth. are turned out at the rate OF three

AN ANECDorE OF PoE.-Whilc the late
Mr.. John Il. Thompson was conducting
the Southern Literary Messenger. Poe was
a regular visitor to the editorial sanctum,
or. rather, be was an exceedingly lrregu-
lar dropper-in, his normal condition being.
so to speak, ALWAYS abnormal, if judged
bv the ordinary human standard. Gencr-
ally, under the combined influence of po-
etical frenzy and of strong alcoholic slim
ulants. he was likewise celebrated tcr a
perpetual impccunio>ltv.
One day, entering Thompson room.
Poe requested Il small loan, saying he had
received :. sudden call to Philadelphia,
and was out of funds. . Would Mr..
Thompson oblige him with five dollars?
The editor of the Southern Literary Hes
senqer, accustomed to Poes peculiar ways,
met the demand with easy grace and open
hand. for which he was noted, and Zoe,
bowinr his thanks, retreated toward the
door, but pausing at the threshold. he
carelesslv flung to Thompson small bit
of writing. with the remark: BY the
way, Thompson, there is Il small thing
Knocked off last night; its not much, but
YOU We been very kind to me, and perhaps
YOU can make room for it somewhere in
the maeazine.' Saving which he turned
and left.
Thompson opened the paper and found
the manuscript Of Annabel Lee. one OF
the most charming of love songs. 1t ap
peared in the next number of the Southern
Literary Messenger.-Letter TO the Wash
inqton Chronicle.
