A company recently organized IN Dus-
seldorf, Germany, claims to possess a
new invention, which, upon its adop-
ton, will create an immediate and
thorough change in the wooden manu-
featuring Industries Of the world. This
discovery, or invention. for it partakes
of both, Is a chemical process by which
the structure of vegetable fibre Is said to
be entirely changed and made so identi-
cal with the fbres of wool, that 1t can be
homogeneously dyed. spun, woven, or
in fact passed through every stage of
wooden manufacture together with wool,
by means of the same manipulations and
the same machinery used in manufactur-
ing fabrics made exclusively from wool.
II is well known to all wooden manu-
facturers that the great difficulty of
simultaneously csrding wool and cotton
or any other form of vegetable or artih-
cial wool lies in the fact that the two
fibres are different in their natural struc-
ture-the wool or animal fibre being
crisp and curly. while the vegetable
fibre is comparatively straight Previous
efforts have failed to harmonic these
differences, but the inventor. Anton
Eduard Neumann, native of Hungary,
claims to have discovered a chemical
process by which he has absolutely
removed from vegetable fibre what
ever differences existed to prevent its
thorough milling with the fibre or wool.
And the special achievement is that by
the agency of chemicals he has succeeded
in curling this vegetable fibre to that ex
tent that it retains the crisp of its altered
structure through all the manipulatioDs
of manufacture, and by one and the
same process can be dyed with wool and
develop perfect harmony of color and
texture. Samples of the cloth consisting
of thirty, forty, or even as high as fifty
and sixty per cent Of the fibre mixed
with animal wool, are 80 soft and fine
and strong, and SO perfectly blended in
color and tissue, that an expert in pull
ing out the threads finds it difficult to de-
tect the presence of any foreign sub
stance
1t has long been known that the ramich
plant, species of the common nettle,
which grows in immense q Quantities
throughout British and Dutch India and
the French Algerian colonies, possesses
qualities which, if thoroughly developed
and utilized, would be great source of
wealth Approaching this fact the Eng
fish Government not long since offered
a premium of $4,000 for some process
which should extract the flbrous portion
Of the plant and prepare it for manufac-
ture No one has ever claimed the
prize, but the problem has been solved
by the Dusseldorf Company, which by
this invention has not only removed the
woody and resinous substance of the
plant, but has produced long, silky,
beautiful fibre, which can be utilized as
substitute for fax and silk.

We are not surprised that Mr.. Hayes
has signalized the last hours of his
fraudulently obtained power by vetoing
the funding bill Aside from aDE real
objections he may have to a measure so
clearly in the interest of the people, the
opportunity to cast a Parthian shaft
at the Democratic party, and to
attract to himself public notice just
when the country was permitting him
to drop quietly into the obscurity from
which no future fraud will ever resur-
rect him, was not to be neglected
Our dispatches, which closed at two
o'clock this morning. leave the impor-
tant measures under consideration by
Congress in a very uncertain condition.
Both houses, it is presumed, con-
tinued their sessions during the
night, and it is possible that some
definite action may have been
reached in reference to the funding and
apportionment bills before the Forty
sixth Congress adjourned sine die.

JOHN BULL AND THE BoERs.-That
the British will continue the pounding
policy toward the Beers, notwithstand-
ing the signal reverse they sustained on
Sunday, is manifest enough; but their
ultimate success is by no means certain.
The Beers have courage, intelligence and
that staying power which is one of the
best of soldierly qualities. They are
strong, too, in a firm conviction of the
justice of their quarrel. 1t is true that
the number of their fighting men is
small compared with the force which
Great Britain can bring into the field
against them; but they are in their own
country-a country, too, where one de-
fender is equal to at least half a dozen
invaders-and their sturdy Dutch phlegm
will only he inspired with more uncon-
queratle valor as the odds they confront
appear more desperate. 1t is not at all
impossible that these brave. farmers may
successfully defy the whole power of
the British empire, and achieve the in
dependence they so CALAMITY set out to
win

Conkling's Vice President Arthur and
his friends, in lionizing Dorsey as the
head of the committee (displaclng JEWELL
who carried Indiana in October, has
caused quiet smile on the face of know

Republican newspaper paragraphs have

says of Dorsey himself: "Mr. Dorsey,

A SINGULAR CASE OF EMAcIATIoN.-
John Mohr, a thirteen year-old boy, was
admitted to the Jersey City Hospital six
weeks ago. He was covered with cuts
and bruises. He said that the wounds
had been inflicted by his father, a
butcher on Jersey City HEIGHTS, He
soon afterwards became unconscious,
but recovered consciousness, to all app
pearances, a few days later. He has
since been unable either to hear or to
speak, and for nourishment has taken
only milk. He has meanwhile
become singularly emaciated, and
now weighs not over twenty.
five pounds. DIR. King, the
attending physician at the hospital, says
it is one of the most remarkable cases
ever brought to his notice, and the suf-
fering lad has been study for New
York physicians, who have visited the
hospital to look at him.

A Sovereign Remedy for SMALLPOX
and Scarlet Fever.
Philadelphia Record.

About two years agoThe Record made
known through its columns a small .pox
specific which had been given to the
public by correspondent of the Stock
ton (Cal.) Herald, who declared that it
had been successfully used to his know
ledge in hundreds of cases, and would
prevent smallpox, or cure it even though
the pittings were filling. The recipe was
originally published as a panacea for
smallpox by some of the most scientific
schools of medicine in Paris. 1t is
claimed to be of infallible efficacy. It is
cure also for scarlet fever, and it is
harmless when administered to we'll per-
sons. The following is the prescription:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; foxglove
(digitalis). one grain; half teaspoonful
of sugar; mix with two tablespoonfuls
of water. When thoroughly mixed, add
four ounces of water. Take a spoonful
every hour. The disease will disappear
in twelve hours For children smaller
doses should be given, according to
their age.
A subscriber of the Record called at
this Office yesterday with slip cut from
the issue of this paper which contained
the recipe above given, and stated that
the preparation had cured his child of
smallpox in one day. The remedy ap-
pears to be precisely the same as that
now being dispensed to scores of people
daily at st. Joseph's Orphan Asylum, at
the corner of Seventh and Spruce streets,
in this city, and which has been found
remarkably eff1cacious. Mother Coma
ga, the venerable head of the institution,
who is busily engaged in compromising
the medicine, has been member of the
order of Sisters of Charity for fifty
four years, and is now the Mother
Superior of the order in this city.
She states that she received the specific
from Father Heinrich, of Germantown,
some ten years ago, who first had it
from aFrench physician. who discovered
it during the prevalence of smallpox
epidemic in Paris, where it had been
used with great success. When the Sis
ter first began to make it she voluntarily
sent bottle or two to families that she
knew we're suffering from smallpox; the
result was 80 surprisingly beneficial that
the report rapidly spread, and in short
time the news was known all over the
neighborhood. Several priests in the city
not only recommended it, but an
nounced to their congregations where it
could be procured, and the additional
publicity thus given has necessitated the
constant labor of all the Sisters in the
work of preparation. 1t is made in a
large copper vessel, which holds eight
gallons, and not infrequently twenty
gallons day are distributed Any per-
son can procure it, no distinction being
made on account of religion. 1t isgiven
free where persons are unable to pay,
but those who desire can make a small
offering in return for it. 1t is the Gus
tom of the Sisters to send out printed
prayer and a small scapula of the Sacred
Heart with each bottle. Many cases Of
cure are recounted by people in the
vicinity, and the Sisters say that in no
case where it has been used has it failed
to give the best results.

Oroomiah and the American mission
aries have been wonderfully spared
amid the terrors Of the Koordish war.
The latest news is letter in the New
York Evangelist from Missionary Shedd,
dated Oroomiah, Persia. December 16.
DR.. Shedd states that the college and
SER were for nearly month within the
Koordish lines, and thinks that if the
siege had continued much longer they
must all have gone down in the general
ruin. A Persian army of 5000 under
TimOur Khan, relieved the beleaguered
place, though the Koords continued
their camp for several days in the vicini-
ty. DIR. Shedd says 1.-The region
around for four days travel has been
made desert. Several hundred villages
have been burned and thousands of the
people killed. But the war is over for
this season, and the Commander-in-
Chief of the Persians will distribute his
army along the Turkish frontier and be
ready TO cross swords with the Turks if
they don't give satisfaction for the in
juries done by the Koords."

That this country still continues to be
the chief and almost the only goal of
German emigration is shown by the off,
cial statistics of departures for 1880 from
the ports of Hamburg, Bremen, Stettin
and Antwerp. OF 1O6, 191 emigrants who
shipped at those ports. 1OS. lie were des-
tined for the United States, 2,119 for
Brazil, and 761 for other American
States. while Australia was the aim of
only 132, Asia Sc, and Africa 81. The
many efforts that have been made to
draw German colonists to Brazil seem to
have met with little success. The few
that have tried it there have not Jared
well. An unhealthy climate. shiftless
and prejudiced population, storms and
fevers, aud the absence of railroads have
been serious obstacles. Nearly every
experiment has ended disastrousIy.
