This ts about the first material evidence of prosperity in that region since the war. -California journals call loudly for the cstaWishiftent of more paper mills in the interior of that state. They say that manufacture will pay better just now than almost any other, especially if managed by Eastern men. v ->Xt a sale of engravings in London, last month, a magnificent impression of Rembrandts etching, “Christ Healing the Sick in the Temple,” known to connoiseurs as the “Hundred Guilder Piece,” was . purchased for the enormous sum of £l.lOO, or 85,500 in gold.

' -The Philalelphia Bulletin, which is printed upon paper ma le of wood, states that in the port races upon the Schylkill, on Thursday, some of the skiffs used were built of paper. Fifty years ago, the man who would have venture I to foretell the use of paper rowboats mid newspaper made of wood would have been deemed a lit subject for an insane asylum. -A corrcspondet of the NewYork 7/eroh? say.s: “The fact has leaked out that the wheels of the radicals campaign machinery arc beginning to run stitlly and make some thing of a noise for the want of sufficient oil in the shape of greenbacks. It is said that a good ! deal of difficulty is encountered in prevailing upon the faithful to “come down with the dtist,” and i among the reluctant capitalists the ! , j firm of Jay Cooke ACo, is men- 1 tioned.” -A negro near Little Rock, who had been advised to look out forj Ku Kluxes mid shoot them, killed, a negro woman who was in the habit of going out in the fields at night and praying. -In a Connecticut town theothcr day at a Grant and Colfax flag • raising the radicals could not * muster force enough to get,, the’! pole up and had to call on Demo ■ (•rats for assistance, which was ’ cheerfully rendered and the flag now waves. -It has been customary to call' Lowell the “City of Spin,lies,” but I it would seem that F:dL River is; justly entitle !to that distinction, ns she has upwards of 40,000 spindles more than her rival? Qf the Lowell spindles some 40.000 or more are woolen. Os the Fall Riv-1 er spindles only 2,756 arc w iok I*' and 3,5000 linen. The rest are ! cotton. -A Colored woman in New Or ! leans, by the name of Butler, has very appropriately named her first born “Spoons” in honor of the groat (lencral who once ruled in that city. •-*’ _ -The English rule is to weigh sheep when fatti-l. and divide the weight by seven and rail it quarters. Thus, sheep weighing one hundred and forty pounds, would give twen , ty pounds a quarter as the dead weight If the sheep are in good condilTohrtlns rule is sufficient for nil purposes. Poor sheep will full below the mark. -The liest bank is a bank of earth. It never refuses to discount to honest lnl»or.
