Manufacture of Silk in the United States.

The extent of the manufacture of silk iu this country is not generally known. Many otherwise intelligent persons are unaware that any silk is produced here, and others again think its manufacture is prettjr much confined to France. This is a great mistake. In 1855 there were 110,000 English silk looms, consuming 5.500,000 pounds of silk, and producing goods worth §45,000,000. Besides this, in 1S60, England imported from France Silk goods of the of £1,302,012. In 1866, it had increased to £6,094,394." The United States imported raw silk to the amount of $6,000,000 per annum, and the value of silk goods made in the United States may be taken at $20,000,000. The great silk center is Patterson, New, Jersey, where there are now sixteen manufactories.

The capital invested amounts to ,$2,000,000. In Philadelphia there are twenty factories, employing four hundred men and fifteen hundred girls and women. The capital invested is estimated at $1,500,000 In the city of New York there are seven or eight thousand hands employed in making trimmings, weaving ribbons and dress goods, the invested capital being $2,500,000.* Beside ^these there are factories at Yonkers, Schoharie,

Hartford. Willimantic, and"at Northampton. and Florence in Massachusetts.

'•Going West.".'.

Strange that people never will Ic-arn that fortunes are not to be picked up by.simply ."going west"— that industry and economy are as essential there as in any other part, of the world to the acquirement of a competency. The "West is the Mecca to which tens of thousands of pilgrims annually wend their way. a large portion of them in the vain hope of bettering their condition without the expenditure of other effort than that necessary to get there, and the most of whom are doomed to the most bitter disappointment. We commend the following, from a "Western journal of a recent date to all men who contemplate '-going .west."

We get letters every day from young men who want to come out West. It is impossible to answer them all. We can say, in general terms, that a capable, honest and sober young man can do better here than in the East.' The chances are in his favor. As Webster said.

There is room above.But there is no room here for men who expect a fortune to drop out of the skies, or spring spontaneously out of the earth. It is a good deal here as elsewhere. We have to work for our own bread, and those who work the hardest get the most.

The Siamese twins always go to bed at the same time, but Chang usually gets up about an hour before his brother. By an understanding between themselves, Chang does all indoor work and Eng runs all the errands. This is because Eng likes to go out Chang's habits are sedentary. However, Chang always goes along. Eng is a Baptist, but Chang is a Roman Catholic still, to please his brother, Chang consented to be baptized at the same time that Eng was, on condition that it should not count.During the war they were strong partisnns, and both fought gallantly all through the gi'eat struggle-—Eng on the Union side, and Chang on the Confederate. They took each other prisoners at Seven Oaks, but the proofs of capture were so evenly balanced in favor of each that a general army court had to be assembled to determine which one was properly the captor', and which the captive. The jury was unable to agree for a long time but the vexed question was finally decided by agreeing to' consider them both prisonersrand then exchanging them.

I'arton savs The best man is he who can rear the best child, and the best woman is she who can rear the best child. The whole virtue of the

race—physical,

comes

moral. mental—

into play in the most sweet,

most arduous, most pleasing, most difficult of all the work done by mortals in this world.

A fisherman of Montereau, France, lately caught a flshfc.within which was found a breastpin ^ornamented with thirty precious stones, diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires, the whole valued by Paris jewelers at $300,000.

A scientifie article in a magazine jsays that not.fifty diamonds, large -and small, are discovered during any lone year, although over twentythousand are sold during that period, and he concludes that paste diampnd? sure fashionable.

Would Not Promise to Obey.

The following may be neither new nor true, but we give it as it was told to us. A young lad}* and expectant bride had declared that although she would willingly promise to love and cherish her husband, yet that she tvould never vow to obey him. She was told that she could not get through the marriage service without repeating the usual formula and when her wedding day came, she appeared to do this. But her words cheated the ear for, after the ceremony, she told her sister that she had kept her promise, by adding to the sentence another letter, sotlo vocc. That letter was B. So that her love, cherish and obev-B," might be construed love, cherish and a babv."

It was lately stated, incorrectly, that Kossuth county,. Iowa, gave a unanimous Republican vote. This! was not quite true. Mr. Gillaspy, the Democratic candidate for Governor, received one vote. It is a matter of record that no person has ever been convicted of any criminal offense in this county.
