Most of the silk goods used in this country arc woven in France. That country is perhaps more largely engaged in the manufacture than any other country. In 18(: France exported silk stud's to the vaiue of 8l»G,800,000. The importation of silk to this country during the recent war was less than it had previously been, but since the return of peace the demand has revived, and the amount imported is about as large as ever.

Though the mulberry tree, flourishes well here silk has never been produced to any great extent in this country. Those who are past middle life will recollect the '-silk fever'' that swept over New England about forty years ago. Every farmer set out a row of mulberry trees, and when people, met, the talk was of J/arns Multicouliis and raising silk worms. Mat labor here is too dear to make it profitable to gather leaves by hand to feed silk worms. Some excellent silk was made: yet the busines was

not remunerative simply because the

The manufacture of silk is successiV.llv prosecuted in this country, though the raising of it has not been till recently. Silk goods of great excellence are woven, but they are sometimes made to bear French names to make them more salable. "Notwithstanding the failure of ilk I Dre ulture in this country a third of a century ago, it is possible for us to produce our own silk. California has taken it up. The exhibition of raw silk it the Stockton agricultural fair, and at the Mechanics' fair at San Franeisco, which we saw not long since, shows the capability of our State. "With the Introduction of Chinese labor California may become one of the greatest silk producing sections of the world. The prairies of the West— every section of land in our country is suited to the growth of the mulberry. "We look forward to the time, and that not very far distant, when silk culture and manufacture will be one of the great industries of the United I States. Those who are engaged in it are making it profitable, and wc prediet a rapid development, especially in California. We commend the subject anew to the agriculurists of the country.—Boston, Traveller.

Ttie Famous Sleeper.

A Parisian journalist, who visited the other day the famous ••sleeper" at the Bicetre Hospital, says: '-The *(tv(:as and physicians are perfectly in despair about this singular case. All internal and external means calculated to wake up this dreadful sleeper, who has been snoring for six months past and longer, have been applied, but all in vain. He has been shaken, rubbed, beaten and cudgeled he has Jeen plunged into mustard baths he has been whipped with nettles long enough to raise large welts on his *k n: but never winced. IIow is he fed In a very singular manner: a probe is put into his nose, and his food passes in that way into his body. He is growing fat. 'For my part ,'

iiu the hospital nurse, believe that that rascal sleeps at certain hours 3 ke the rest of us. and that, During the remainder of the time, he simply
