NTurder VIII Ont,

Several months ago an artist was
| noticed on our streets, with pencils
and sketch. book in hand, sketching
. what he saw in the city. People Won
dered what he was doing, and what he
was at, but now it is all out; the prob
lem is solved. He was sketchiDg the
city for the purpose of lithographing
picture of it. We have had the pleas
ure Of examining the sketch, and pro-
nOunce it a decided success, both in
point of accuracy and quality of work.
and is just such picture as every per
son who is interested in the city, its
real estate or its business, should be
proud to have in his residence, busi-
ness house, or to send to bis friends.
The picture ,as far as the artists work is
concerned, is completed and is now in
the hands of Mr.. VIM. E. Mason who
is exhibiting it to our citizens. and so
liciting subscriptions. Ifhe is success ?
full in getting number of subscribers
to justify the expense it will be litho-
graphed and published. Without

this picture of our city, which locates
each seperste building, and is the very
best method of bringing our city to the
notice Of those looking westward with
capital to invest. Every man interest
ed in Ravenna should subscribe for
several copies and send them to his
friends and acquaintances.

Ready-Made Clothing.

Among the strange things seen by
Humboldt on the slope of the Cerra
Duida, he records the discovery of
"shirt trees" They grow to the height
OF fifty feet, and to obtain these gar
ments the natives cut cylindrical pieces
two feet in diameter through the upper
opening peers the wearer's head, and
through lateral Sits the arms are thrust.
These sack-like garments are seamless,
and greatly resemble the ponchos and
manos extensively used in New Granada
and Peru; as we may easily imagine
these comfortable COVERINGS of native
growth are extremely coarse in texture
but ii travellers notes are to be relied
upon, are regarded as very stylish
business suits" for that section Of
country. What easy times the house
mothers of those regions must have, if
in addition, "a thread-and-needle tree"
should chance to spring up near their
simple dwellings, useful adjuncts when
rents appear and patching season" ap-
proaches; their " shining STEEL" a sim
pie thorn growing at the end of leaf
of amaguey tree the " siken thread"
POLITICALLY speaking, fiber which is at
tached to the thorn. The fortunate
seamstress deity plucks the thorn,
warily draws forth the delicate line of
thread, and she is ready for her labor of
love-
In New Zealand may be found strong
drapery made from the fiber of trees,
and when covered with Impressed pat
terms, as is often the custom, firm and
even beautiful stuff for garments and
house ornamentation may be obtained.
The lace tree growing in the Indies,
is utilized by the negresses to furnish
material both rich and delicate for pleas
ant, comfortable garments.
Whenever one finds the cork tree,
curious process may be observed, for
the natives of those regions have deft
fingers, and can, by distending the bark
of little switch of the size of quill,
bring into shape iaunty little cap,
convenient bag, or a useful whip, all of
them possessing the wonderful fexibility
Of articles manufactured with the finest
cord.
