A novel and efficient apparatus for cutting veneer has recently been contrived. There ha* long U*en in use, a* is well known, a machine for cutting veneering from round biockH, lint it i* essentially different from the new device, ln the former the knife is parallel w ith the log, and in some kinds of wr**! the beauty of tlic grain is thu* b»*t, white with the knife set at an angle it it* preserved; this latter is the merit of the new apparatus, w hich has a eonieabshaped cutter lilu* a pencil-sharpener, and commcJM-es cutting at the end of the log. the log (ceding into the knife, or the knife to the log, ou a lathe—the veneering coming off in the >*ha|x‘ of a scroll. 'Hie machine ( tits the veneering one twenty fourth of an inch thick.

The Bc*M-nger metal process, in dis- I*-using with the puddling process, and in utilizing the earlsm contained iu the pig iron to effect the fit-ion of the final metal, has given a v:i*t extension to the application of cast steel for railway bar-, tires, IkhIit plates, etc. A drawteick, lw*wever, to tbi* iu»-t 1msi is, that il is limited in ita application to -uja-rior br.ind* of pig iron, containing much carU>n and no sulphur or plto*p!torns, which latter iiupuriiiesan- so destructive to the ih-sired qualities of sk-d. Indec-d, the puddling o|*erat ion has still to lx* resorted to, unless the new process of dccarborizalton i* sulistituteQ, to purify those inferior pig iron* which constitute the bulk of production, and the puddled iron cannot he brought to the condition of cost sled except through the process of fusion. •

A JOI KSAL says that gixxls made entirely #»f cotton arc called merino, an#l have the look of merino, owing to the wixdly surface imported to them. Such giKHls arc sold 1k»iIi in the L mteal States and in the Npunish South Amcri< Hii markets in large quantities, especially in the form of men’s undershirts and drawers. To cause the cotton to resemble wool it is scratched and the surface raised by a particular process. A thread or two may Ik* drawn out and burned in the flame of a taper; if the material he cotton it will con-iinic to a light. itn|»alpablc white ash, cotton Ix-ing h vegetable fiber; but if, on the contrary, it i# wool, and therefore an .-tniuial fifx'r, it will fwi*t and curl in the flame, and *how a block a-h. accompanied w itli a smell which will speak as to it* origin. Codon is now »o cleverly treated that it is frequently taken for silk, also an animal fila r, and tlii# simple test is always resorted to when there is any doubt u|Kin this |H>int.

An improved hydranlic m<»ior for running light machinery is said to answer an admirable pur|*x»c in many of Hie smaller industries. The apparatus consist* of an oscillating engine placed w ithin a perfectly water tight outer casting into which the w ater enters at one side and leaves at Hie other. The oscillating engine cvlin def,driven by the water, swing# in bear ings, suitable entrance am! exit porta of the l**aring permitefng alternately the entrance and discharge of water from the cylinder. The pi#»on nwl of the cylinder is pivoted to a crank disk of the driving shaft, and the |Miwcr is transmitted to the machinery by a friction cone and belting, and can lie f»ranged to run the same at different speeds. The regulating air- chamber scruiTM uniformity of motion under various pressure#. The casing is attached by screw s at any suitable point near the machine to he operated, find the water eon he conveyed thereto hy rubber pipe*. No oiling is necessary, os the apparatus works cnlmily in water, which form* a sufficient luoricaut. This kind «»t motor tulist prove ven* ttaeful, as It is said to he capable of making from tflflto MXt revolution* per minute, with an average water onasumpUou of forty gallons.

—The following is a simple mode ol rendering water almost m coW as ice without the use of ice Let the jar, pitch er or vessel used for water be surrounded with one or more folds of com cotton kept constantly wet The evaporation of the water will carry off the beat from the Inside and reduce it to a freezing point.

Tho requirements of the several art* passed by the last Legbla lure are found to be so onerous that in wan? of tho jural districts the result has beeu the practical annihilation of the traflie. A gentleman who laUly made a tour of Huron aud Tuscola counties, northward and eastward of this city, says that the trade in that section is virtually dead. Sebewaing has three dealers, Watrousville one, and there is another one or two in the region; but the traveler may ride for a day or more at a time, passing villages where there was formerly no lack, and find act a drop of the ardent to wet his whistle. The license movement has come nearer prohibition in its 6rst fruits than the temperance people ever got with all former legislation. The new laws are death on tnc country dealers, evidently, and they have dropped off like sheep."

— . -roe-mFrom 1&C5 to 1875 we have had ten

years of nominal peace throughout the United States, The Radicals have ruled through all, and Graot through six of these >ears. And they between them have brought us—whither ? A ti- nsncial and industrial crisis, which be*

(ran lu J873 with the ignominious col apse of two or three swollen Radical hauking houses, the peta and favorites

of the party in power, has led us on to a financial and industrial catastrophe involving in ooc common min the Hast and the West, our railways ol land and our shipping on the sea. The negroes who were to havo been civilised and educated at the expense alike of the tax payers of the whole country and of the fundamental principles of self government, are relapsing into barbarism and planting here aud there through out the fairest regions of tho Republic new Haytis aud 8an Domingos. Mb cry and lawlessness stalk hand io hand over the North nnd West. Last week a man was picked up in a public park in New York by the police, and on being earned to the hospital was found to be literally dying of starvation. This in a population of a million souls and in a city to which for loug years the pauper thousands of the Old World were taught to look as the New Jcrusa lent of honest labor. Meanwhile at the head of the Government we have a self mdulgcnt soldier whom the war found eking out a humble and not altogether creditable existence in an obscure country town, by petty service in an obscure calling, and who is now* reckoned by his associates with vulgar and shameless ostentation among the new- made “millionaire*” of the land. This head of the Government has for hi* right hand a Minister, also a“million- sire,” Mr. Columbus Delano, who has been and is now openly arraigned as a public robber aud friend aud protector of publie robbers by men of his own politieal faith, but of stainlca* private auJ publie repute. This is the record and this is the result of Radicalism and of Graotism in these Uoited States to-day. How much longer is the dis-

tious being made to their computcuey to ait as jarors, they modestly withdrew, evidently dissppoioted st not being permitted to ssstst in the conviction of the accused. The jury being duly impaneled tbe trial proceeded iu duo form ; Rsv. G. D. Palmer, counsel for tbe ehureb, sad Rev. N. I teas- oner, assisted by J. 0. Blanchard, Ksq , for tbe accused. Lyman Daniels and John Biased testified that sometime, about fourteen years ago, they had heard some one sa? tbe accused had been arrested for seductiou or something else. Ibe sister secretary with becoming diguity and modesty recorded the testimony, while guilty was plainly depicted in the countenances of each of tbe jurywomeu. At tho close of Dau- ids* and Bisaells testimony, Mr. Blanchard moved tbe court to strike out tbe testimony as hearsay. Tbe court grauted the motion, and ordered the secretary to striko it out, which she proceeded to do under tbe emphatic protest that if “that testiuiooy was struck out she would like to know what they would have to convict on, and tbe trial would be a farce if they could not oouvict." Mr. D. hero suggested to the sister that her business was to keep scratching out testiraooy, which modest suggestion produced quite a flutter inthe iury box. Bro.-------wan tbeucalled, aud testifiod that he never w as guilty of stealiog half a pound of tobacco of Nelson Daniels, or any other person. ^Bio. B. asked the witness if m settling with Daniels ho did uot pay for an article he never called for. 'ibe witness thought tho question impertinent and none of Blanchard's business- At this juncturo of tho interesting proceedings one of the jur? women jumped up and roared out, “We sin*t summoned her“ to try that are brother for stealing ; we are to try that other fellow for perjury, and I won't stand such abuse anyhow. I'll just bo exensed, so now !*’ And suiting her action to the word, started to go out. The court told her she had better stay. Bro. B. aaid that be was happy to accommodate her and she might be excused, but if she did stay suggested that she keep quiet and not jump ont of her “pullback.” The prosecution here rested their ease, and the eourt stating there was not sufficient evidence to mako a case, the charges were withdrawn and tho accused discharged. After some wholesome remarks by the court, coun sel aud accused, and mutual explanations, the jury wero permitted to reserve their verdict of guilty for some other occasion The benediction pronounced, good feeling restored, all went borne.

Nearly every country of Kurope derives large profit* from lace making. This industry gives self-supporting eui ployment to fully 500,000 persons, mostly women and children, ou the Continent and in Great Uritian. About one-half of th*ae lace workers arc found iu France, the others mostly in Bel gium, Flanders, Kngland, and Ireland, and a few in 8pain and Italy. Thousands of dollars are spent yearly for this most exquisite luxury ot tbe toilet of American woâen who go abroad; thousand* of dollars’ worth are import- . ed, and thousands more smuggled into the couutry. American womeu know Low to wear lace, if they do not know how to make it.

A prejudice, founded in ignorance, has deterred American capitalist* fioru encouraging the manufacture of laoe in this country. It has been erroneously considered an unhealthy and nnremuoe rative occupation. Lace ia not made under ground in damp cellars, a* is generally supposed. The lacc weavers of Honiton, iu Devonshire. Kngland, are a rosy, healthy, cheerful class of women and children. Most of the work, all the weaving of tbe flowers, is done by womco and girls at home. The joining of tbe flowers is the only part done in the manufactory. This is also the case with the lace that is made in Bnuwcls. The flowen aro done at home ; the rsssea, or ground, in the fac-

»It is estimated that of tbe 150,- lace workers of Belgium, the majority work at home. The only part of

the work that is done st the rise of health is tbe spinning of tbo flex thread. This is done under ground in a dark apartment, into which but a single ray of light D admitted, falling oo the thremd, which is given the relief of a background of dark paper. But even then the touch guides the spinner more than her sight. But her wages are proportionately high, and with economy «he can in a few years retire from busi-

on her earningsIn Belgium nnd Flanders there are irly nine hundred laee schools, which

send out from 30,000 to 85,000 apprentices every year. Maoy of these schools are in the eonrents.

at least, be assured by the t-videoco of onr own eyes, of the truthfulness of every accusation that we utter, and then never make such accusation at all, unless fully pemuaded that good will grow out of our words, greater than tbe injory brought upon those of whom we speak. How many a Christian church is disgraced, if the world regarded such crimes as disgraceful, with those whose deliberate ami uodiHguinod life purpose is to rob tbeir neighbors of all that is sacred, who stabs reputation in the dark, smothers talent, aud robs innocence, and is permitted to go at large unvisitited by human pnoishment, bnt is considered in the eyes of the world, respectable.

There are some guardians of society who come to ns under a variety of respectable disguises can smile approvingly on its secret enemies, and promote them to stations of honor; who ravUh tbe soul of its jewels, of its faith in humanity, its love, and true beauty, leaving only the mocking semblance of its natural gifts’ How tunch moro culpa- bio are socb wretches in the sight of God and all true purity, than those who carry ooly tho common weapons of the assasMn and tbe burglar.”

ing is from the )»en of one who pretends to know : “The best time to cot bard wood for durability is early winter, before the sap has a thought of moviog. December is far better thao February, aod November, or even October often better than later. During tbe latter part of tbe growing season those sub stances which, with access of water form and enrich tho sap, are produced in the wood. They gradually become soluble as the winter advances, and before spring fairly opens trees varyiog considerably in time are in ft soluble oonditioo, and taxing tbs soil for water to carr? them to every twig and swelling bud.

Beals, a geutlvmau about f>5 year* ( f age, who has been a resident of this village for a number of years, died in a fit of apoplexy on Thursday morning of last week. The facts concerning this sad affair, as near as we can learo, aro : He had been to New York transacting sonic business for himself and Dr. A. J. Wiggins, of this village, and on his arrival at this station by tbo night ex press about 4 o'clock Thursday morning, he was aroused by tho conductor, “Big Joe," and in his attempt to gain his feet was seixed w ith a fit of apoplexy which prostrated hitn upon the floor of the car. lie was taken up( carried into the depot and laid upoo one of the benches, and orders left to have medical aid miratuoncd to his re« lief, hut the person who received these order* failed to do hi* duty, thinking that he was iu a state of iotoxication and would soon sober up and be all right, aod in consequence was thus left until about 10 o’clock a. m., when Dr* Wiggins was informed of bis whereabouts aod condition, who hurried to the depot to reoder him aa*i*tance. Mr. Beals was hy this time entirely unconscious, and it was discovered that his left leg aod arm was entirely paralysed. He lived hnt a short time and hia funeral took place on Sunday last. He leaves s wife and one child in this village. Mr. Beals was at ono timo financially 7ell off, and has for the past twenty-five years been engaged io preparing roots aod harks for tho wholesale trade. He established the slippery elm works in this village, which are now owned and operated by Dr. Wiggins. He was n gentleman of considerable intelligence, and leaven many frieod* in thia eominnnity to mourn his death.

During the past week a delegation in the interest* of the O. R. A 8. R. R., accompanied by the Hon. F. C. Dowd ing, managing director, passed over that portion of the line embraced in Clinton and Ionia counties, with a view of obtaining an expresMou of their desire to aid in this enterprise. The result of their interviews with parties of interest has proved moat satisfactory. Liberal aid is assur. d upon three lint's west of this place, all diverging from Maple Rapids, yet each reselling for a direct communication between Grand Rapids and the Saginaw*. Which of these routes will be adopted, much will depend upon the call made payablo Sept 1st, from the stockholders of the original organisation. Should they respond promptly to tho call of the board of direction in the a>*rsHmcnt already made, the road will be constructed ou the line as originally contemplated, without change.

That ring furnished l large share of the money to aid hb I*-4 taction,and has contributed heavily for other ob- tecta In which he is personally interr»ted. Its influence at the White House hasten often and openly illustrated in s manner to cause the greatest scandal.

W hen Mr. Bristow directed ttir Hujwr visor* and agents ot the internal revenue to lie changed, in order to break up a corrupt combination known to exist tatween them and the inanufte lurer* of Illicit whisky, Supervisor McDonald, chief ofwnisky, rmpervisor McDonald, cmri oi the Ht. tamfa ring, went to Washington with a fine span of horse* as a present, snd g*>t that order revoked by the Prrsi dent's own haud, without a word of eon ference w ith the Secretary of the Treasury. McDonald could not restrain his Joy over this triumph, and he telegraphed to his confederate Joyce, who, like himself, is sow uuder indictment:

The goose hang* high. 1 rod* out with the Prmirirut to-day.

To gull the public now Grant indorses a letter to Bristow with this ardent exhor Ution: F; m •

Let no guilty min encapc If It can !•«avoided.

Grunt's practice and this profession are very wide apart; for when Hodge war ' convicted of aiealing half a million from 1 the Treasury, right under the shadow ol the White House, he let that “ guilty man escape" w ith a pardon and reinstated him , in the fellowship of his associate thieves ! of tlie Washington ring. 8o, too, lie has done with a host of mail-robbers, forgers, I defaulters, counterfeiter* snd other third term patriots, wh«we services were needed to pa« k convention* snd to make plat forms of Republican principles.

It c<*ae* with a singular grace from Grant to say to the Secretary of the Treas- i ary:

No personal consideration should stand la the w ay of performing a public duty.

Hiuoe Uu- first day* of June he has twen established at Long Branch, seeking personal pleasure and amusement only, to the utter neglect of every public duty, and i setting an example which has done as much as anything else to demoralize the civil service. By indecent importunity 1 and the sulacrviency of a corrupt Con- ! great Ills pay was dtaddstl. with (*erqtti- sites heretofore wholly unknown. which ; have made ths salary almost clear profit to him.

Instead of recognizing this enormous ' increase by some token of respect for his great truxt, and at least a passing exhibition of fidelity to its obligations, he ban since then been more reckless than ever . and more disdainful of public opinion and common decency. The extraordinary : spectacle is presented of the Ifresidcnt and every inrmtar of his Cabinet junketing about Uie country and exhibiting them selves like a traveling menagerie at elsm-

petroit City Hall, a few day* ago, Mrs. bake* and receptions, while the plunderMatilda McBrecde, a woman sixty year* •Id, wa* run over by a Ku»scl street borne Car and shockingly and fatally injured Both legs were nearly severed at the thigh.

With vulgarity* and venality at the White llouoe, and iu social surroundings , offending all decency when Grant and his shoddy court are at Kashington for six or seven months of the year, and with his underling* to govern during prolonged alwencca, the life there to people of culture snd refinement must be hard to endure.

Monirtliue* the actual fhc- tory consists of several house* extending through Vo the side street, and at first it is somewhat bewildering to a stranger to pa»* up and di»wn sUirs through endless sw inging-door* and dark, crooked pa>*ag« »

To liegin at Ike beginning, there are tlie raw material*, silk, satin, muslin and velvet, gold dust, powdered glass, colors, gum, wax and wire. No heap of garden mold and handful of assorted .«eeds are farther from the Iteauty resulting from their union in rain and sunshine than those diaffct‘1 mmubrn are from the lovely forma into which dexterous fingers and quick eyes will soon compel them to )«*». In one room you see a DuiuU r of racks containing dies and stain}** employed in cutting out tha individual leave* aud (ictnls. Every imaginable form in nature may here be seen—rose*, tulips, lilies aud daisies being, (terhaps, the most common. There are some thousands of these stain(*s and, as each costs on an average ten or twelve shilling*, the amount sunk in this portion of the *tork alone is considerable Then there is a stiffen log-room. Here the •ole busiuesa carried on is the preparation of the basis of the future flower* by starching the various substance* used into the projwr consistency. The various fal>- rlcs employed are stretched on frames and starehed ; a good deal of this is now dstw for the flower manufacturer, hut a large quantity of abtrchuig is done at home.

When the fabric basis of the future flower Is thus ready the next process l* tn •tamp out the separate leaves and petals. Thv smnlle* pattern* are struck out at a blow’, thirty or more at a time. Boy* stand in front of (towerful presses, the hot plate Wncuth is kept at the right temper ature. And the rapidity with which llu process goes forward reminds one most oi steani'prinling. In another na»tu we see a lafge table covered with artist's materials. In one place are men busy bronzing leaves; some sprinkling powder on th< hlgh1y-poli*hed leaves, in order to givt them a more natural appearance. The best kind are ste* petl in wax; ths Vessel containing it U sunk into a hot plate, such M I have *< < ii in a w ax-csiale fketory Thepsinting ofthcseparatep<»rlionof eat h flower is very carefully performed. Ont might almost fancy that water-color painting was proceeding from the delicacy of tke colors employed. There is a great deal of work In the individual parts of even each blossom. The original sulwtanee. w hether satin, silk, muslin or velvet, must be stiilened, stamped out, veined, waxed, dusted, and filially mounted. The more elaborated of the specimens shown me go tlirough at least eight or nine different processes laTnre they are fit for their ultimate destination. The I rotted flowers are gummed and then dusted over with tine

wderal glss* sifted through a muslin Mig. It Is, however, the mounting-rooms

that most strike a stranger. 8uperficially, they are pretty, iml(vd ; at long tables ait close rows of girls and women, for the most part nicely dressed and nice-looking, each with a little assortment of artist’s materials hefbre her.

In front of each row of workers are two brass parallel rails, exactly like those you toe in counting houses for resting ledgers, etr., on. These are (died with flowers in every stage of manufacture. The general cmpd'ou—the bright and often pretty face*, the busy finger*, the pleasant ntv tie of green leaves, th* glitter nf brilliant colors, the hcaj>* o| lovely h|o»«om*—looking like the sjwdl* of a hundred hot. house*—the almost magical dexterity with which petal is added to (w-ta), the general smoothness of the whole process; all these. 1 say, compose a picture which must live in the memory even of those who have seen it but once. Each mounting- table ia in charge of an ci|m ricnccd forewoman, who, having a certain pattern to gel out, put* a price on it. and arrange* with th® firm for an equitable amount. It is needle.-* to say that la>th side* know exactly the value of m> much work. It then become* the object of the table to turn out g«Msl work quickly and to keep the pattern working as long as possible. The various hand* under the forewoman are paid by her according to what she deem* them worth. A* there are other fables in precisely the same condition, any ntfem|>t at tyrannizing bv giving too little is <1«- feated by the fnctejkat the clever hand is sure to lie hid for by a rival forewoman. Thus (me acta as a check on the oilier. It answers many good ends.
