Editor Timee-Dsmocrat:
have read with much interest of
the movement in Pittsburg to estab-
lish on an extensive scale the manu-
facture of ramie into textile fabrics.
In order to insure a constant supply of
the prepared fiber at a remunerative
price, both to the producer and the
manufacturers, it is most essential that
the appliances for the preparation of
the fiber from the stems should be
simple, effective and economical in it's
production in a commercial sense, SO
that the time and labor are saved.
The machinery heretofore employed,
though effective in cleaning the ramie
stems of the cortex and the greater
portion of the gummy matters, is de-
fective IN not producing sufficient
quantity at q cost to meet the demand
which must follow the employment of
this valuable fiber on an extensive
scale in its mixture with wool, cotton,
fax and silk.
Last year the London General Fiber
Company gave 500, 900 for a patented
machine, which I saw in operation in
~S~ASSoeOiS LII nlo lk10S1luo tllU tu0
work admirably, but only cleaning
from sixty to seventy pounds of fiber
in ten hours, the cost of production
was too high to meet the requirements
OF the manufacturer.
Ramie fiber, to be commercial sue
cess, should not exceed twenty cents
the pound rendered to the spinners.
| have devoted fifteen years to this
subject and other fibers for textile
purposes. know of an entirely new
machine, not patented, which has been
tested on a large scale,
which, with two horsepower and two
men to feed and one to deliver, will
turn out $50 pounds of thoroughly
clean fiber in ten hours. This machine
requires no skilled labor.
Should any Of those interested in
in the prepar alton Of ramie
fiber desire further information on this
subject. / will be pleased to put myself
IN correspondence with them.

a demand on Cleveland for "the

guided in making appointments

sent them message in which he
intimates very plainly for them to
attend to their own business, and
he will attend to his.

P1oUs ,NITcHoRAFT.--A ragged and lean
old woman has been arrested in Naples for
deceiyiug a young girl, pretending that by
means Of d lemon stuck full of iron nails
and pack of cards covered with dirty
hieroglyphics she could procure the return
of faithless lover to his allegiance. When
arrested the old woman declared that she
prscticed witchcraft in the name OF the Ma.
donna and out of charity. Thecredulity, and
ignorance which induced the girl 10 listen
to this woman, in another case deluded q
countryman into believing the story OF two
thieves, who, entering Unto conversation
with him in the Villa Nazionelc told him
that foreigner had buried large treasure
under q certain tree, which they pointed
out, and that they meant to dig up the
treasure and share it with their auditor,
but that they peeded money in order to
bride some persons who were watching
them. The poor. fool Immediately handed
to his tempters the sum of one hundred and
seventeen francs, all he had in his pocket
with which they decamped, leaving h'm
staring at the tree and vainly awaiting their
return.
