James Butler, Esq-, Clerk of the Roxbury Carpet Co., Boston, Mass., employing eight hundred hands, in a late communication concerning the admirable working of an article Introduced into the factory, says: The famous Old German Remedy, BL Jacobs Oil has effected several cures among our men. who have been badly hurt in working in the factory',- and they pronounce it a success every time. The other evening, at a little dinnerparty up town one of the guests, the younger brother of an English nobleman expressed with commendable freedom, his opinion of America and its people. “I do not altogether like the country/* said the young gentleman, “for one reason, because you have no gentry here.” What do you mean by gentry ? ” asked another of the company. “Weil, you know,” replied the Englishman. “Well—oh, gentry are those who never do any work themselves and whose fathers before them never did any.” “Ah,” exclaimed his interlocutor, “then we hgve plenty of gentry in America, but we don’t call them gentry, we call them tramps.” A laugh went around the table and the young Englishman turned his conversation into another channel.
