| Great Britain makes more c4rpetl
than any other country, and sixty-fivs
per cent. of all that she exports are
brought to this country. Still the
United States produces carpets to q
great extent. In Lowell one company
makes 1000 yards a week; and nj
Clinton in Massachusetts,, one million
dollars worth Of carpets are made
annually. Philadelphia, however, Is
the great seat of the carpet industry in
this country. The manufactures OF
that city employ e5l power-looms and
s,4o9 hand-looms, which have the ca
pacity ofproducing annually p, DOC, 900
yards of ingram and Venetian carpets,
which is more than all the carpet fact
cries in this country, outside of the
Quaker City, can turn out. As good
Brussels carpets are now made in this
country rs in England. In the great
Palace Hotel in San Francisco, which
was opened in the autumn of 1875, and
which is seven stories high and
occupies whole square, all the carpets
are American with the exception Of
the Administers in the parlors. These
were made in Glasgow. The Ak
minister carpet is the English-made
Turkey carpet, and takes its name
from the town where they were for
merry made after the Turkish method.
The real Turkey carpet is wrought in
one piece. The Brussels takes it's
name from the capitol Of Belgium,
where at an early date in the history
of European carpets, the manufacture
OF their imitation of Turkish make
was begun. In the last century the
manufacture was introduced into
Great Britain, where il has become q
very important industry.
De Witt Observer: In these wonder
full days of telephones, blueglass, ETC.,
one scarcely knows where to look for

bought a COW Of Mr.. Yegge and

Tilden's commission to o new post
master in DE Witt; no, it was nothing
of the kind. But it was simply q
pile of money-sirty-three fue-cent
nickcts,-a regular savings bank, we
might say. How did the money get
there, and how long had bossy carried
it? No one can tell. Whether she
had swallowed . Sunday school, or .
fiddler, or . church-deacon, or had
buldozed the children Of the commu-
nifty about Christmas time of thsil
money. is all conjecture. But the sup
position il that she came across thu
bag or wallet containing this money
and took it in, IS some person had
"salted it." 1t was something remark
able. The COW was probably Dar

.4nd the Frauds Praefiecd In Their Sale
by F0stmasters.

on l'0sfmdsters.
From the N. Y. Herald,
Ever since the new mode of compen
sating postmasters of the fourth class by
commissions on the amount of sales OF
stamps, stamped envelopes and postal
cards was adopted, it has been source
of endless trouble to the Post Office De-
partment, and has made work for every
special agent who could be spared to
look after the frauds which the system
makes easy of preparation. Hundreds
of postmasters have been removed, aud
to make their punishment greater, their
names have been furnished to the press
for publication aud yet so strong is the
temptaton that all the efforts of the de-
partment have proved unequal to the
suppression of the illegal traffic, aud
there seems but one mode to put a stop
to it, and that is by the repeal of the
law and return to the old plan of ad-
justing salaries on the basis of the
stamps, &C., actually cancelled in the
respective Offices. AS an illustration of
the manner in which the present law
operates the following fact will be sulli
cient A special agent, who has been
engaged in the Southwest for some time
past, sends to the department an affida.
Wit made by merchant who is engaged
in regular business in that vicinity, in
which he states that he has received
very large amounts of postage stamps
of the denomination of one cent, two
cents, three cents, six cents and ten cts,
from parties whose names ere given
with the sums received from each
There are some eight or ten names
given, with the amounts received, aud
dates, etc. One firm alone, member
of which is postmaster, has paid him
81 $3.50 in stamps, in sums ranging from
SO to 5000 at payment. In every
case where stamps have been thus used
the party is either postmaster or q
member of firm in which there is a
postmaster. In some cases discount
was made by the party disposing of them
of from five to seven per cent. The
value of the stamps thus received by
this merchant is over $1,000 on which
the Government is unlawfully made to
pay, in increased salaries, a commission
of from 81 200 to $500, which goe:
into the pockets of these dishonest post
masters.

ly diminishing, elevated regions are
being lowered and seas are filling up.
The land will at last be all submerged
and the last man will be starved or
drowned. 2. The ice is gradually ac.

consequences of which will be an awful
catastrophe when the earth's center of
gravity suddenly changes. The last
man will then be drowned by the rush
Of waters. 3 The earth cannot al.
ways escape collision with comet,
and when the disaster comes there will
be mingling of air and cometary gas,
causing an explosion. If the last man
is not suffocated he will be blown up.
4. There is a retarding medium in
space, causing gradual loss of velocity
in the planets, and the earth, obeying
the law OF gravitation, will get closer
to the SUM- The last man will be sun
struck. 3. The amount of water on
the earth is slowly diminishing, and
simultaneously the air is losing in quan.
tity. Finally, the earth will be an arid
waste, like the moon. The last man
will be suffocated. 6. Other suns have
disappeared, and ours must, sooner or
later, blaze up and then disappear. The

kill every living thing on earth. The
