How Clothes Pins are Made.
Scientific American

A dealer thus describes the manufacture
of clothes pins to reporter: They
whittle'em out at a rate of eighty a min
ute. A beech or maple log, a foot in di-
ameter and ten feet long, will whittle up
into 12,OO0 clothes pins. That log won't
cost more than 81. The clothes pins
they cut out will be worth S96.40. 1t
will take them two hours and a half to
run that log into clothes pin, which is
whiting out $500 hour. At ten hours
a day, they get away with four logs, and
have on hand $4,000 clothes pins worth
S3S56O. Now, the lumber for these pins
has only cost IS or so. But then those
logs must be sawed up by four different
kinds fv saws. One separates the logs
into lengths of sixteen inches; another
saws this into boards three-quarters of an
inch thick; another cuts the boards into
strips three-quarters of an inch square.
These strips are caught on a wheel that
hurries them to a gang of saws which
chop them into clothes pin lengths.
These lengths are carried by a swift NOV
ing belt to a machine that seizes them
sets them i'll lathe that gives them their
shape i'll the twinkling of an eye, and
throws them to an attendant, who feeds
them to Il saw that moves backward and
forward as if 1t were madder than
snake. This saw chews out the slot that
the washerwoman shoves down over the
clothes on the line, and the clothes pin is
ready, all but the kiln and polishing.
The latter is done in revolving iron
cylinder, the same as castings are cleaned.
All these processes cost money, and when
the manufacturer comes to put up his
goods for sale he finds that his profit on
the $4,000 pins, his days work, is only
about Sl93. We pay the manufacturer a
cent a dozen. or triflle more than IS
thousand. We are compelled in these
close times, to sell them for t cents a
dozen or S32 thousand"

PHLADELPHIA, Aug. 10. A letter hith-

Col. Benedict, of Burlington, VT, will be
published in the Philadelphia Weekly

chapter to the controversy concerning
General Sicllles conduct in the battle, car
ried on in that journal by General La
Fayette McIawS, General Sickles and
Colonel Biddle. of Meade's staff. General
Meade's letter holds General Sickles re-
sponsible for Gripping the Army of the
Potomac, gives the entirely new evidence
of General Ewell (confederatel i'll sup
port of the wisdom of the same
time misconstrued Pipe Creek order,
and explains why Gen eral Buttertield,
General HoOkers chief of the staff, hap
pened to be retained temporarily by Gen
eral Meade. This was because, according
to the letter Meade did not desire to with
draw General Humphreys from the third
corps, of which he was the main stay.
Generals Williams and Warner were asked
to act temporarily but declined.
Under these circumstances Meade says
he asked General Buttertield to
remain till the permanent arrangement
was made. A few days later Butterfield
was struck with fragment of a spent
shell on the left arm. A few days later,
Gen. Humphreys accepted the invitation.
The latter says: My defense against
the charges and the insinuations of Gen
erals Sickles and Butterfeld is found in
my testimony before the committee on
the conduct of the war. l have avoided
any controversy with either of these Off

HOuSe-In the house, while the clerk of

secretary, Pruden, appeared at the north
door of the chamber. When he announ-
ced the presidents approval of the de-

rife that the river and harbor bill had
been vetoed, were dispelled. On motion
of Mr.. Springer the adjournment resOlu-

THE BELFAST RIOTS.
Troops and Constables Occupy the Disturbed
Districts.

BELFAST, Aug. 1O.-Five thousand
troops and $500 constables occupy the
disturbed districts. The presence of the
police tends to increase instead of sup
press the disorder. The Protestants de-
clare that Catholics were the aggressors,
by wrecking Protestant houses while the
Catholics are equally certain that the
Protestants were the aggressors. OF one
thing there is no doubt, never did two
mObs of different religions display more
bloodthirsty desire to kill or main each
other.
During the fighting on Sunday and
Monday, whenever the powder ran short,
the yiragoes on both sides, with fiat irons
and otner implements, ground large
grains of blasting powder into size
suitable for small arms, while boys of
tender age melted lead into bullets and
slugs. While the rioters were firing, the
youths and women stood behind them
busily loading their spare guns in order
to prevent waste of time. The fusllade
lasted until 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when the ammunition gave out
and a tacit truce ensued, both sides re-
moving the dead and wounded to their
homes. Both sides are doing their ut
most TO hide their losses. Friends and
neighbors of the killed and wounded all
regard the police as foes. Their bare
presence Is a terror, to be repulsed, and
excludes the idea of wantonness. This
is now the great supreme difficulty

the shape of q quill pen, the junction of
the two edges forming forming the nib,

They were highly polished, perhaps

Perry, the founder of q system of educa-

overcame the difficulties in Its construc-

patented several varieties and spared no
