The Moss Industry in Louisiana.

The Louisiana moss business is one of the important industries of New Or leans, and as such demands some atten- tion at the hands of the press. In com mon with all Southern manufacturing interests, it has had it's days of flush and its days of gloom in business. At present, however, the depression seems about over, and the rAde is attaining it's former respectable proportions.
 The history of the manipulation of moss is very simple. It is gathered mostly by negroes, who devote spare hour of the day to such work After a tree is stripped it is allowed to rest for seven years, during which period of time the moss renews itself. Cypress moss is preferred, as it is the longest and most tenacious of all the varieties. After the moss is gathered it is placed on sunny spot and left month to the action of wind and weather. At the end of that time the grayish bark peels off, leaving the hair almost clean. Some of the moss requires no manipu- lation, while other assortm ents are, ir weight, more than half dirt. After being thus dried the material is sold to the plantation storekeeper or to the crossroads groceryman, and the gath erer receives from one to two cents 8 pound for it, according to its quality. The stuff is baled and brought to this city for manufacture.
 The gatherers of late seem surprised at the falling off in the prices paid for moss. The reason is simple. The de- mand is not great, or rather has not been up to within the last two months, and the quality of the moss gathered has not been of a good grade. The moss should command three cents and be worth in the market four and half cents, because it took as mu"h time to gather it as it does to gather moss that commands such prices. If they would bring in better article they would have no reason to complain of the smallness of the money paid.
 After the moss reaches the factory it is subjected to the action of the washer, which is a large cylindrical arrange ment with wheel inside, which pulls the moss hither and thither and dashes it through n vat of boiling water and soap until the stuff is cleaned. Then it is hung out upon racks to dry.
 This done it is put into the duster, fan mill, which entirely removes all the dust that may have survived the wash ing process. As result the moss comes into the factory yellow in color and goes out inky black.
 The article is then made up into bales, according to quality, and lettered with single, double, treble and quadruple Ks. The highest grade, XXXX, can hardly be distinguished from the finest and choicest horse hair. The other grades are cons ned mostly in Louisiana Neau Orleans Times.

The Use of Tails.

A very important function of the tail of the yak, cat. squirrel. and many other animals, to which drew attention some years ago, has escaped the notice oi Prof. Mivart. It is that the bushy tails of these animals serve a very important function in preserving their body-hea' during their nightly and winter sleeF In cold weather animals with busy tails will be found lying curled up wih their tails laid carefully over their set like a rug, and with their noses buied in the fur of the tail, which is thus sed exactly in the same way and for the same purpose as we use respirato'. l have a Manx tailless cat, who cspot, of course, carry on his junction, Tt he makes very good substitute fort by using the back of one of my othe cats.

The Presidential Count.

The subcommittee of the House select con- mittee "on the state of the law respecting entertainment and declaration ot the result of election of President and Vice-President," decided to report favorably to the full con- mittee the joint esolution introduced by Rep resentative Bicknen, providing for an amend ment to the constitution as to the election of President and Vice. President.
 The proposed amendment contemplates the election of President and Vice President by the people of the several States, and pre- scribes the manner of counting the votes and determining questions of contest s"rhe cleo toral votes and fractions thereof ot each person. voted for as President in any State shall be ascertained by multiply ing his entire popular vote therein by the number of the States electoral votes and dividing the product " the sum of all the votes given in the State for President and the quotient shall be the number of electoral votes and fraction thereof to be assigned to such person, using tor such fraction three decimalsonly. The foregoing provisions shall be applicable to the election of Vice P resident; but no person ineligible to the office o1 Vice. President shall be eligible as President" In case of a contest in any State as to the cleo tion of President or Vice-President, the same may be passed upon by its highest judicial tribunal, in accordance with it's laws, and the decision thcrect shall be by 1t certified and transmitted sealed to the seat of government of the United States, directed to the president of the Senate. The electoral vote shall be counted by the two houses as certified, unless rejected by both houses; but if there be cer- tifcate of decision by the highest judicial tri- bunal of any State upon & contested election therein, the electoral votes of such State shall be counted in accordance with such decision, unless the same be overruled by both houses. If there be no such certificate of decision, the conteste9 votes from any State shall not be counted unless both Houses concur therein. If there be more than one certificate of electoral votes from any State, and no such judicial de- cision, or if there be more than one such decision from any State, in either case that certificate of electoral votes or that decision which shall be held by both Houses to be made by the righdul authority shall be conclusive, and the votes shall be counted accordingly, unless rejected by both Houses. The aoove are the main points of difference between the present mode and that prescribed by the proposed constitutional amendment.

In the Stocks.

Lord Camden once presided at a trial in which charge was brought against a magistrate for false imprisonment and for setting the plaintiff in the stocks. The counsel for the magistrate in his re- ply said the charges were trifling, par ticularly that of setting in the stocks, which everybody knew was no punish ment at all. The chief justice rose, and leaning over the bench, said in a whis- per: Brother, were you ever in the stocksa" "In the stocks, my lord; no, never" "Then I have been," returned his lordship, "and assure it is no such trifle as you represent" His lordship's knowledge of the stocks arose from the following circumstance: When he was on a visit to Lord Dacre, his brother-ir- law, at Alveley, in Essex, he walked out one day with a gentleman remarkable for his absence of mind. When they had reached hill at some distance from the house his lordship sat down on the parish stocks, which stood by the road side, and after some time he asked his companion to open them as he wished to know what the punishment was. This being done, the absent-minded gentleman took book from his pocket and sauntered about until he forgot both the judge and his situation, and returned to Lord Dacre's house. When the judge was tired of the experiment he had SO rashly made, he found himself unable to open the stocks, and asked a countryman, who passed by chance, to assist him. No, no, old gentleman" was the rustic's response, you was not set there for nothing" Lord Camden protested his innocence. but in vain, and he was left to mediate for some time on his foolish experiment, until some oJ Lord Dacre's servants happening to pass that way, released him.
