AN EMIGRANT'S LUCK.
From Castle Garden to Maiden Lane In
Less Than Seven Years.

From Castle Garden to Maiden Lane In
Less Than Seven Years.
During the half century of my busi-
ness career no incident of greater in
terest has come to my knowledge than
the peculiar circumstances attending
the debut of a young man into Maiden
Lane few years ago who is now a
prominent and successful importer of
diamonds.
at was warm afternoon in July,
nine years ago, that had occasion to
visit the Office of Superintendent Jack
son at Castle Garden, 10 inquire after
the whereabouts of our housekeeper's
sister, who had arrived the day previ-
Gus and had suddenly disappeared.
While standing in the crowded rotunda
my attention was attracted to a strap
ping young German of the blonde type
who had lost his sweetheart and was
distracted at not being able to find her.
"a few weeks later | was in Wash
ington Market with my wife, and or
the second time saw the young man
who interested me at Castle Garden.
He was employed at a butchers stand
dressing beef. l addressed him in
German and asked him if he had found
his girl. Yes, he had, and she had got
fine situation as chambermaid.
early in the following fall at
Twenty-third street and Broadway. as
/ was returning from the theater, the
same man crossed my path again He
asked Inc to translate for him what was
written on one side of small package
which he said he had picked up in the
street. saw it was the address of
prominent jeweler in Union Square and
/ knew at glance that the package
contained diamonds. | kept it and
giving him my number asked him to
call on me the following morning. 1t
turned out that careless clerk had
lost the package the previous after
noon. The diamonds were worth sew
eral thousands of dollars and the
butcher received handsome reward.
Never before to his knowledge had he
seen diamond, and when the spark
ling gems were scattered over velvet
covered table, the sight almost took his
breath away.
From that moment he has possessed
a passion for diamonds. He sought |
and obtained a menial position with
Broadway retailer, and soon acquired
a knowledge of the English language.
All his spare time was devoted to the
study of precious stones, and six years
ago he ventured into the field as an
importer. He is prosperous and re-
spected and all is due to the accidental
display of gems in the Union Square
Dealers office. Probably no self-made
man in the trade has acquired in SO
short a time an easy air of refinement
combined with business shrewdness.
He lives in Brooklyn, is happily mar
ried and is the father OF several little
girls. Jewellers Weekly.

The estimated loss to the cotton,

$40, 100000. Yet the farmers take no
precaution to protect the birds. Every
bird killed adds just the work it would
perform to the labor Of the farmer,
who consequently has u greater number
of insects to destroy.
In sweeping the rooms the plants
should be covered either with n cloth
or paper, as the dust settling upon the
leaves will stop or close up the pores
so that the plants can not breathe. II

MAKING CARDBOARD.
The Simple Pro cess In Use in the LeadiI
Factories of England,

The Simple Pro cess In Use in the Leading
Factories of England.
On the first floor of factory the
initial stage of the manufacture was
seen, in the mingling of the various
papers for making the boards, i. e.,
two sheets for the outer surface, then
the coarser paper for middles, in single
sheets, to the number required. The
pile thus formed, which is called head,
was now passed to the left hand of the
paster, who, welding large brush,
like the head of a sweeping broom, in
his right hand, took hold of sheet of
outside, which was duly coated with
paste from big tub at his side.
His left hand meanwhile had seized
a sheet of inside, which, placed ON the
pasted sheet, was similarly coated, as
was another and yet another, until the
required thickness was attained, when
two sheets of cutters were taken to-
gether, SO that no paste should lie be-
tween two sheets of complete board.
AS soon pile of boards were thus
made they were placed in screw
press to squeeze out superhuous water
from the paste, and then hung on lines
to dry; afterwards they were separated,
passed through glazing rolls between
copper sheets, to give them finish,
and packed for sending home.
On the floor above the process of en-
ameling both cards and paper was
in full swing; the enamel being COM
posed OF color and size mixed into
paste with mountain snow, to get the
required tint the work being finished
off with brushes of badger hair. The
sheets of enameled stuff require laying
out to dry separately. The tempera-
ture was up to eighty degrees, as quick
drying Is essential to success.
The steam for heating purposes and
for power, both for board making and
other work for the premises, is derived
from Cornish boiler in the basement,
driving q sixteen-horse power hori-
zontal engine Of capital construction.
The paste is boiled by steam and |
starch is used for nAer work. British

An irritable man, who was aware
of his peculiar infirmity of temper, is
said to have congratulated himself upon
having felon on his finger, since it
gave him justifiable occasion for "let-
ting off the steam" when he felt like it.
The better way for such n man would
be to have the felon opened down to the
bone and covered with warm poultice,
and then keep the steam in. Letting it
off would not cure the felon, or help him
in bearing the pain.

Real Estate Deals.

We heard rather funny story yester-
day about rival real estate dealers whose
names We will not mention. 1t seems
that gentleman, a relative of q promin-
ent dealer in dirt was travelling towards
the south a few days ago and in the
sleeper he formed the acquaintance of,
to him, stranger, and during their con-
versation the subject of real estate was
mentioned; the relative of the real es-
tate man here telling his newly made
friend that he had bought lots in the
Ensembles addition through Roe & Doe.
"Oh," said the stranger, "that is not d
reliable firm at all. You should have
gone to Smith & Jones. they are the most
reliable firm Of real estate dealers in the
City. l have 9 map of some of theiI
property with me. 1 managed to get il
out while neither of the gentlemen were
in. They have made some excellent
buyes for me and have commissioned
them to buy some more" The other
gentleman accepted card that was Of
fered him and retired to the ether end ol
the Car to study out who the man was
who had taken such deep interest in
him, and suddenly it flashed upon him
that it was Smith himself of the firm
whose praises he was singing. One o
the firm which he considered unreliable
was the brother of the man he was talk
ing to.

CLEAR OFF THE BARSACLEs.

Whatever your business, whether
mercantile or manufacturing, if you're
not progressing, you are at a stand
still or receding. This should not be
in these times of competition and
hustle. Either you are in the rut OF
old fogyism, in the wrong line or po-
sition, OR you are Indifferent to bust
ness success. Possibly, like an
old ship, you have attracted
barnacles by inactivity, or your en-
ergy has become stagnated like an
inactive pool, or keener and more 60
ahead rivals have depressed you, and
and thus shorn you of your old=time
powers; you have contracted the not
up with-the-times fever and are GO
ing to the wall. Now, whatever is
the matter, you should either stop
business or overhaul the ship, for, as
the writer aptly says, old ships ly-
ing at anchor may have the appear
ance of soundness, and The outward
evidence of strength, usefulness, and
sea-going qualities, but when care
fully examined for sea-voyage, are
found fo be covered with barnacles
and to be affected with dry rot.
When such vessel, no matter how
much good it has done or what use it
has been in the traffic and carrying
trade, is condemned, is at once re-
placed by new or modern that is in
perfect order and fully sea-worthy." F"
What is true of vessels is often true
of men also, especially of merchants
in trade who have been anchored too
long in old-time ways aud methods of
doing business, and consequently do
not keep up with the progress and

NAME IT GEORGE WASHINGTON

In view of the revival of interest
IN the name of the father of his coun-
try we think the suggestion made by
one of our most intelligent readers
especially timely, that the new state
which we welcome from our north
western territory be called not
Washington, but George Washing
ton.
The above name Is good viewed
either from the standpoint of patri,
otism or perspicuity. 10 merely
christen it Washington would be
ambiguous and misleading. We
have already too many Washingtons
for either the convenience of postal
clerks or the faciliation of mail de-
livery.
Many awkward mistakes could be
avoided and the name of our irst
president suitably remembered by
naming the new conner George
Washington, and G. w. for an abre-
Walton would soon come as handy as
n. H, n. Y, or Pa, ete.-Maaayunk
Sentinel. Pa.
The above suggestion does not en-
tirely coincide with our views. Plain
Washington suits our taste exactly
and we trust that the constitutional
convention Will recommend that name
to the people
