tcct herself in her home market. In n
remarkable article on the Centennial Exhi-
btion, which lately appeared in the R6rue

out the silk industry Of the United States
as one Of the signal successes 10y

to more strenuous cxcrton. So, too,
the Swiss mnissioncr-Gcncral in his
official report calls the attention Of his
countrymcn TO the striking advance Of
Americans in the silk manufacture, and says
that Switzerland must hcncciorth prepare
herself for u warmer competition in these
products. To the same effect was the opin-
ion pronounced 10y Consul GUSTAV GERHARD
of Elhcrfcld, Chairman OF the Committee Of
Centennial Judges appointed to examine
this class of fabrics. and himself one of the
largest silk and velvet makers in Germany.

speedily insure greatly increased con-
sumption. OF course, an assured standing

WHILE appropriations are Tn order for improving navigation in other pal ts of the United States, Congress might turn is at tentiOn to the Colorado river. Its naviga- ton above Hardyville, as far as Fl Dorado, might be made practicable for the entire year by an expenditure nf S25O0O. There is plenty Of water at uli seasons txcept upon a few bars. These are formed en- tirely Of loose boulders, cemented together by sand and fine gravel. A heavy drag, drawn by steamboat, would quickly scoop out channel through th"m which the cur rent would afterward keep clear. It has taken ages to form these bars and it would take nearly as long for them to choke up again. They are in no respect like the sediment bars of thc river lower down.
