Silk from the Sea.

The sea yields many precious things
coral, amber and pearls-but it is not
generally known that in certain parts of
the Mediterranean a species of mussel
is found, Of which the shells contain
one of the most beautiful and textile
materials known. These shells are
about seven inches long and three inches
broad, and each of them contains bank
of byssus of the fiber, weighing half
drachm, and at first it presents nothing
particular to the eye, being solid with
mud and the remains of marine plants.
But when washed and combed, the
fbers are see to be extremely lustrous,
glistening in the sunshine in shades vary
ing from a golden yellow to olive brown.
Spun and woven in the ordinary manner,
stockings, gloves, neokties and similar
articles can be manufactured from them,
and they are likewise specially suited for
making the finest lace. At present the
production of these fibres hardly exceeds
200 kilogrammes (three cwt. three qrs)
a year. Specimens of these curious
mussel and their finished products were
exhibited at the recent Paris exhibition,
but they appear to have been overlooked.

A wise man will never rust out AS
long as he can move and breathe he will
be doing for himself, his neighbor, or
pos-erity. Who is old9 Not the man
of energy, not the ay-laborer in science,
art or benevolence, but he only who suf-
fsrs his energies to waste away, and the
spring of life to become motionless, and
to whom all things wear the garb OF
gloom.

The Hest Route

To the North and East is by way of Mem
phis and Louisville, over the Louisville and
Great Southern railroad line. From the
principal points of Texas to Louisville it is
over one hundred and fifty miles shorter
and many hours quicker than any route via
st, Louis. It's also shorter and quicker to
Cincinnati and all points East. 1t is the
only route by which we can take in the great
Mammoth Cave, of Kentucky, and its
through arrangement of Pullman Palace
Sleeping Cars is unsurpassed.

Marsh oil II erald,

We have not changed our views in re-
ference to the state land office. 1t needs
renovation. There has been too much
crookedness in and around it, and we would
like to see an entire set of new officers aad
employees elected. Then let the office be
thoroughly examined, and the result pub
lished. No harm can come from this.
There will be persons, of course, disap.
pointed and displeased, but the state, in all
probability will be the gamer. At all events
there is nothing to lose by change.
