now SCREWS ARE MADE.

The process of making n screw is
very interesting. The rough lnrge wire,
in big coils, is, by drawing through a
hole smaller than itself, made, the size
needed. Then 1t goes into n machine
that at one moment cuts it proper
length and makes head on it. Then
it is put into sawdust and tsrattled"
and thus frightened. Then tho head
is shaved down smoothly to the proper
size and the nick put in it at the same
time. After "rattling' again in saw
dust tho thread is cut by another ma
chine, and after another rafting and
thorough drying, the screws are assort-
cd by hand (the fingers of those who
do this move almost literally like
lightning,) crossed by weight, and
packed for shipping. That which rem
ders it possible for machines to do all
this is little thing that looks like and
opens and shuts like a goose's bill,
whick picks up a single screw at a
time, carries it where needed, holds 1t
until grasped by something else and re-
turns for another. This is about the
most wonderful piece Of automatic
skill and usefulness have even seen,
and it has done itsidistincttve work at
the rate of 81 screws a minute, al
though this rate is only experimental
as yet; 93 gross Per day, however, has
been the regular work of one ma
chine.-Psoridence Il. ~ Letter to the

Cadet Whitaker.

WEST PoINr. April II. The reporter of
the New York Times was put on the stand,
but declined to give the names of the parties
who furnished information of the plan to
''fix Whitaker until Monday next. On
consultation with his COUNSEL the reporter
stated the "clue" referred to in the Times,
was known to him from the first, but it had
proved so slight that he did not feel author
lied to summon any witnesses relative there
to. Gen. Schofield testified as to to the cir
cumstances under which the court of inquiry
was ordered, and said that the bearing of the
corps of cadets and of Whitaker, impressed
him with the innocence of both. In closing
he said: 'The method pursued in the in
vcstigation was adopted wholly in justice to
cadet Whitaker. If any other course has
been pursued, it is unknown to me. Every
means known to me or which has been sug-
gested from ally other source. by which'the
investigation could be pursued, has been
adopted" Other testimony showed how the
colored cadets were ostracized and ignored.
Collision.
New YORK, April II. A serious collision.
occurred on the Sound last night, between
the steamer Rhode Island of the Providence
line, and an unknown schooner. The steam
er Narraganset arrived this morning this
six hours late, bringing the passen-
gers from the disabled steamer, which she
has towed into Huntington harbor. There
are Vermont horses on the steamer. 1t is
reported that one wheel is totally destroyed
and much of her side torn. She will prob
ably be towed back to New York.
LATER.-The agents say the damage by the
collision il slight. and arises simply from the
bending of seven or eight Of the arms of one
of her wheels, which are of iron. Under the
xl,o%x1 ,a ho,,
arms might injure the wheel house if an at
tempt to use the wheels was made. Tugs
have been sent to tow the steamer here, and
she will probably arrive this evening. Owing
to the dense fog at the time of the collision,
the schooner got away without any informa-
ton with regard to her being obtained.
A passenger on the steamer says: 1.-THE
passengers, behavior is worthy Of great credit.
There was but little panic on board, notwith-
standing the dense fog and loud crash which
apprised everybody that a disaster had &C.
currred.- Full half an hour elapsed after the
collision before assistance arrived and the
suspense was terrible. The behavior of the
crew was subject to general censure by the
passengers, as they became partially democrat
lied and their conduct added not little to the
terrors of the night
The steamer was under a full head of steam
when the collision occurred.
Schooner Eben Fisher of Boston, from
.Wiscasset, with a cargo of ice, arrived to-
night. Capt Reynolds reports at o'clock
Friday evening, off Eaton's Neck, his schoon-
er was run into by steamer Rhode Island
during heavy fog, carrying away bowsprit,
head-gear, foresail and mainmast, beside
cutting the bulwarks down to the waters edge
The Eben Fisher was towed to City Island,
for repairs.

build rich foundation of happiness for our
selves; in striving to exalt others, we are
ourselves exalted Christianity is the up
building of character. Every walk of life is
big with opportunity. George Washington
is revered, not becausehe was great general.
for history can show score of greater COM

that; but because he carried the welfare of

closed with an eloquent appeal to the young
men to rally around the church, and to devote
their energy and manhood to the cause of
the Master.
