The Waters’Pianos are known as among
the 'ey best.— N Y. Evangelist,,
W* ran speak of the merits of the Waters’
Pianos from personal knowledge as being of
the very best quality Christian Intel.
The Waters’ Pianos are built of the best
snd most thoroughly seasoned material.—

Our friends will find st Mr. Waters’ store
the very best assortment of Pianos, Meio
deons and Organs to he found in the United
S’a’es— Graham's Magazine.
MUSICAL DOINGS. —Since Mr. Waters gave
up publishing sheet music, he has devoted his
whole capital snd attention to the manufacture
snd sale of Pianos and Meiodeons- He has just
issued a catalogue of his new instruments, giving
t new scale of prices, which shows a marked in
duction from former rates* and hit Pianos hava
recently been swarded tile First Premium st sev
eral Fairs. Many people of the present day, Who
ars attracted, if not Confused, with the Banting ad
vertisements ol rival piano houses, probably over
look ths modest manufacturer like Mr. Witera;
but we happen to know that his instruments
earned him a good reputation long before Expo

wer thought of; iodeedi ws have erne of Mr. Wa

has stood for years,) of which any •suufaeturer
in the world might well be proud. We have al

The .Haehinery Needed Far a
Cotton Factory attd its Coat.
A Northern machinist Riven the fol
lowing estimate of the prime cost of
the machinery needed for a cotton fnc
tory of one thousand spindles with the
necessary preparation and moving ma
chinery to run by steam :
COST OF ONE THOUSAND “JUNO” SPINDLES
AND PR BP A RATI AN.
Machinery—
One Mason's whipper $ 75
One picker and tapper 350
Four double dotting cards 1000
One drawing frame, three
heads 225
One slubber, 36 spindle# 7 00
One fly frame, 84 spindles 800
One thousand ring spindles
$4 each 4000
Two reels, $35 each 70
One bundling press 50
One baling press 75
Fixtures—
Four sets card clothing, at
S6O $ 240
Cans and bobbins 200
Shafts, pulleys and belts 700
Turning lathe 60
One ten horse power en
gine 1200
Extra chargee for fitting up 150
Total coat of machinery
and fixtures $9885
The above is a detail of the cost of
ooe thousand spindles and preparation,
without looms Without going into
detail, $lO per spindle is a safe euleu
lation. Ooe hundred spindles is the
common estimate per horse-power.
Twelve looms, with accompanying
machinery, consume one horse power;
forty looms should be allowed to one
thousand spindles for spinning medium
numbers, say twenties to thirties.—
Looms cost $65 each.
Ibe cost of one thousand spindles
with preparations and weaving ma»
chinery would be as follows :
Whole cost of one thousand spindLs
and preparation (deducting price of
reels and bundling press, which are not
needed for weaving) is $9,765
Fori) looms, at 65 each 2,600
One di esser 450
One warper 100
One spooler 80
Extra chargo for oteam engine,
_ *ay, • 350
Extra charge for shafts k belts, 250
Total sl3 595
From this detail it appears that the
cost per spindle with looms is sl3 60,
but a safer calculati n would be sl4
per spiDdle.
For one hundred spindles without
looms, I would recommend a or.s s’ory
building one hundred feet long and sis
ty leet wide. If lonm< sreadded, one
hundred and forty feet long and fifty
feet wido. For two or three thousand
spindles, let the building be two or
three stories high, each story the same
in capacity as above recommended.
As the cost of labor and materials in
Jiflerer.t localities varies, I refrain from
giving any estimate of the cost of buil
ding a mill to contain the above ma
chinery. Any one can do this with the
capacity and cost of materials given.—
I would remark, however, that a build
ing at the South, with theeame cost of
labor and material, could be erected
much cheaper than oue adapted to our
Northern climate.
The return from cotton in well man
aged mills is eighty five per cent, al
though many return seventy-five per
cecl. A loom in fair operation will
produce thirty-two yard# p#r day, run
ning at one hundred and tan picka per
miuute, and making cloth sixty-four
picks or threads of weft per inch.
The Mattcawan Company have sent
machinery to the South for a large
Dumber of mills, an! could probably
furnish it is cheap and at as short no
tice as any machine makers in the 1
country; although the best means for
a Southern company to start a mill
well, and in the shortest possible time,
would be to engage a good practical
manufacturer, aud let him put the mill .
in operation and furnish a competent
superintendent for a specified sum.—
This plan has been adopted, and 1 be
lieve with success .Respectable per
sons can be found to take charge of
new factories if the loaations are agree

The Cbarleston JVetr* has the sob

on this subject, which We bare eref re
garded as of the utmost importance to
the advancement of intellectual culture

*‘lt is a g eat mistake in female edu
cation to keep a young lady’s time aid

literature of the day. If you irotild
qualify her for conversation, you must
give her so oetbing to talk about—give
her education vri'h the actual world,

pers and become familiar with the pres
ent character and improvement of our
raco. History is of some importance;
but oftr thoughts and our c ncein«
should be mainly for the present time
—to know what it is and improve the
condition of it. Let her have an intcl
ligeut opinion, aud be able to sustain
intelligent conversation coreerning the

CONVICTION AnWAJECUTION OK THE MIL
ITIA WENDS.
The four colored militiamen, named
Wm. Porter, Monroe Allen, Hector
Aoton aud William Reese, connected
with tbo force stationed at Marien,
Crittendoo county Arkansas, who per
petrated tbe tieudish and beastly ciime
of rape, upon several women living in
the vicinity of the camp, were arruinged
before a court martial on the 18th in-t,
and were eonvioted of the alleged
charges, and shot by order of the Ci urt.
on the following, day, between 4 and 5
o’olock in tbe afternoon.
The court martial which convicted
the parties consisted of tho following
named officers;
Lieut. Col. Wain, Prssiden'j Lieut.
Haynes, Judge Advocate; Capt. Taylor,
Capt.Osterwald, Lieut. Campbell, Lieut.
Wendlard, Lieut. Mpears, Lieut. Lee,
Lieut. Goff and Lieut. Nichols, colored.
All st tbs prisoner#, on being called
upon to answer Is tbe charges against
them, pleaded gsilty with the exception
of William Reese, who plead not guilty
bat who was, during the examination
of the oaae, proven guilty by the evi
dence es his own witness.
The vote of tbe eonrt in doeiding the
ease of all parties was unanimous for
eonviotion. Upon the olose of tho trial
the crin'nala were ooDfiued in tbe guard
house and were allowed the company of
the colored obaplaios connected with
the foree, who administered religious
consolation to tbeir troubled minds till
the time arrived for their execution,
which was formally announced ty the
prisoners n half hour previous to their
death.
Th# intervening moments between
the announcement and the time they
were shot were of dreadful! agouy nnd
wailings, mingled wi;|) cries to the tffi
cert to abate their punishment, and
prayers to the Giver of their lives for
pardon nnd mercy. Their piteous
sod loud criss rent the air, and were
heard throughout the neighborhood,
sending a cbiil of horror to all. The
men and officers of the garrison were,
however, unanimous in their condemna
tion of the outrage, and not a word of
remonstrance, or an intimation of re
sistance to the execuliojof the sentence

To Cure Warts.
Warts are very troublesome and
disfiguring. The following is a perfect
cure, even of the largost, without leav

prescription, and has been tested by that
writer: Take a small piece of raw
bcof, steep it all night in vinegar, out
as much from it a# will cover the wort,
tie it on it; or, if tbe exoresen.ee is ou
the forehead, fasten it on with strips of
sticking-plaster. It may be removed
in the day, and put on every night. Iq
one fortnight the wart will die and peel
off. Tho same prescription will cum
