Mia, about three years ago, very
simple in it's construction and appa'
rently producing results vastly supe-
rior to the ordinary mode Ihave de-
scribed of manual labor. The exhl-
bition of this machine produced a
great excitement, anu it was proposed
and countenanced by the Captain-gen-
eraI to give a large premium TO the
inventor. The subject died away,
however,and the machine disappeared
from public view. 1t is probable
that the criticism OF experienced peo'
pie formed some drawbacks to the
perfection generally ascribed to the
invention; but, without possessing
the slightest mechanical knowledge,
the impression which its structure
and effect made on persons capable
of Judging, was extremely favorable.
There was no intricacy In its ma
chinery wood was its only
material and buffalo its NOV
ing power; a village carpenter could
make one from its model, and It's re-
suits were tenfold or more greater
than by the ordinary course. 1t may
suggest itself, why has it then not
become of general use? l cannot
affirm that the model has not been
applied; but there are circumstances
of influence in regard to the natives
here, and the culture of this produc-
ton, and indeed of all others, unta-
vorable to the extensive adoption OF
machinery.

Philippines:

From Cebu the exports were in

1874 .234,361 1875. 1892
The best fibre comes from the lati-
tudes south of Manila, and from sew
eral islands as far as the tenth degree.
OF the 250,000 bales received at
Manila in 1864, about $4,000 were
shipped to the United States and CAL
ifornia, 114,O00 to Great Britain, and
the remainder to the British posses
sion and settlements in Australia,
India, China, etc.
The exports from the port of Cebu
in 1874 were 154, 1922 piculs, Of which
upwards of $1,000 went to America.
The total exported from the Philip
pines was GIG, 122 piculs against 62o-,
064 piculs in 1878. Great Britain
takes about one.third $4,000 piculs.
The manufacture of cloth and
| rope from the fibre Of the plantain is
not a new discovery, tor the Indian
natives OF South America have long
been in the habit Of usingit for these
purposes. Dampier notices the pro-
cess as common in the Indian archi-
pelago in the early part Of the last
century, as follows They take the
body of the tree, clear it of its out
ward bark and leaves, cut it into tour
quarters, which, put into the sun, The
moisture exhales; they then take hold
of the threads and draw them out /;
they are as big as brown thread. Ut
this they make cloth in Mindanao,
called saggera, which is stubborn
when new, wears out soon, and when
wet it is shiny"

The most urwise thing done, so fer as the Democratic party is concerned, we believe to be the lacking on of very obnoxious measure to the army appropriation bill Should the bill pass the Senate with the rider, we believe that the President will veto the bill. Congress may get on its ear and refuse to pass the bill during the session which would compel the Prs ident to cali another extra session. To leave our army without the means ol subsistence forebodes trouble. and we pre- d.ct an uprising in the North that will overthrow the so styled Democratic party. and obIiterate it entirely from the records The Supreme Court of ;he United States has decided that the President has not the authority to disband the regular army Of the United States, hence his only policy will be tn keep on converting extra sessions of,Congress from time to time, until the army shall be provided for.
 When Grant comes back into the White house. as he certainly will, then Congress will be Republican and such grand fiascos as are now being enacted will cease and the country will prosper.

Judge Morrison has issued an attachment for the arrest of Dr. W. F. Smith, who will be required to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt for neglect ing to obey the order of the court directing him to pay Mrs. EudorI V. Smith $50 per month alimony. Some months ago Mrs. Smith cesan a suit in the Fourth District Court 70 compel her husband. Dr. Smith, to maintain her without a divOrUe. JUdgt Morrison ordered defendant t0 pay his wifi $50 per month alimony until otherwise di- rected by the court. The monthly ply mcnts were regularly made until few weeks since, when Smith declined to pa! any more, upon the ground that he had been divorced from Mrs. Smith.
 This morning smiths attorney appeared in court, and said that the aiImnny had been regularly paid monthly uptil the last time when thIougn an oversight two oi three days overlapped. The wit of attach rnent had not been served, and this morning the $i50 for the last months slimOny had been paid. 0n this showing Juage Nor rison ordered the writ of attachment to be dismisssed.-Post, April 4'h.
