Manufactures OF Moss.

Z 3
Probably few persons who, while trav7
cling in Florida and other Of the Gulf
States, had their attention attracted by
the vast quantities of gray moss hanging
upon the forest trees, ever thought that
it was an important article Of trade. Yet
it is very extensively used in stuffng
mattresses and chairs, and its use is. in
creasing every year. No Southern native
in the localities where it grows remem-
bers or ever heard of the time when it
did not grow, yet it seems never to have
occurred to any one that could be made
an article of eommere until, the Yankees
went South during the rebellion. The
trade in it begansoon after the war. clesed,
but like most other enterprises was of
slow growth. q, The moss sent to market
was for some years mainly obtained in
Louisiana, but the trade gradually ex-
tended to Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and Florida. The finest moss is said to
be that which grows in Florida The
gray moss is absolutely an air plant, tax
ing root and perfecting its fiber and sub
stance in thepure atmosphere There is
no danger of the supply being exhausted,
for as fast as it is removed it reproduces
itself. Moss factories are located IN
many parts of the South to which the
gatherers take it, and are paid an average
of one. cent a pound. The process Of
manufacture is to put it in an overfowed
spot or thoroughly saturate il. with water,
and pile it in heaps. 1t is then left to
rot for from thirty days to four months,
when the cuticle comes of, after which it
is placed on frames to dry. When dried
it is twice run through picker to sepa-
rate it from sticks and twigs, and also to
separate the fibers from each other.
When ready for market the prepared
moss is graded according to quality, and
sells at the factories for from three to ten
cents a pound. The poorer grades are
used in the manufacture of mattresses,
and the higher grades for stuffing furni-
ture, carriage cushions, etc. The indus
try is said to be very profitable and re-
quires little capital, every thing connected
with it being produced upon the ground
except small engine, picker and a bale
press The demand for manufactured
moss is said to be greatly in excess of the
supply. Persons whose health requires a
residence in warmer climate would do
well to think over the propriety of en-
gaging in this business. cuicin1sati

h ave presented for the Potomac river regatta
beautiful and massive silver cup as one of
the trophies of the regatta. This cup will be
as handsome as any of the others, and will be
the third one already presented for this occa-
sion, and the committe are very sanguine that
they will secure the fourth. They have not
yet determined in which race this cup will be
put up, but will decide in few days.
Wheeler Ryan, Baker, and Fraser made a
fast four from the Potomacs last evening. 1t
is pretty well settled that they will constitute
the senior four.
Tho Analostans have gig crew in training
which it is the intention of the club to enter
in the lace for the four-oared gigs.
On Monday evening next Kennedy, the Po-
tomacs trainer, will announce his various
crews, and will take personal charge of them,
with their quarters at the Morgan house.
1t is to be regretted that the Potomacs have
not four-oared gig, as they have so many
supertluous oarsmen at this time in thorough
training from whom a four could be selected
which would do credit to tho club in the gig
race.
All of the clubs were we'll represented by
