American si1Exn.

American silks are taking high
rank everywhere, and even in the
French markets may in time COM
pete with the Lyonaise fabric.
Great complaint is made against
the French silks, because they are
greatly deprecated in quality, and
are no longer the durable dress
goods they were in honester times.
They are made stiff with gums, sat
urated with oils, and mixed with
iute, so that purchasers, many times
deluded and swindled, begin to sus-
pect all foreign silks, and to give
them the go-by. American silks
are found to be rich, handsome,
pleasant to the wearer and durable.
They still lack something Of the
finish given to the French fabric,
but will in time acquire that, and
excel in all respects. Our manufac-
turers are working for appreciation
and name, and therefore will not
adulterate or otherwise depreciate
their goods. Their success has Civ
en- encouragement to the enterprise
and new factories being erected to
meet the increasing demand.

On the 18th of February the
steamer Colon sailed from New
York for San Francisco, having on
board Q large lot Of wild animals
for Montgomery Queens circus and
menagerie. Prominent among the
animals was . large, fsrocioE0 rhi-

seemed determined to effect an es-
cape from the strong cage in which
he was confined. A favorite oppor-

was OF Cape Hatteras. During Q
heavy storm the cage broke from its
lashinGs and wsa cast against the

qulckly did by plungi1g against the
ir0n bars with Tremendous force.
