It is stated in New York that Jay
Gould is now having built a large num
ber of barges sufficient to transport 500,-
000 bushels of grain daily down the Mis
sissippi, and three largo elevators nt
New Orleans. A prominent Wall street
banker, who is conversant with tho en
terprise, says that the object is mainly
to extend the grain-carrying facilities of
divert the trade
tiie Mississippi, not to
from the Atlantic seaboard. There
are limes when tho grain await
ing transportation at St. Ixmis for
the Southwest is stowed there in
such large quantities, owing to the
lack of carrying facilities, that much
loss is sustained by the owners owing
to ttic expense for storage. Shippers
often have to wait a long time for
barges, and the desire of tho projector
of tlio scheme is to furnisti all who may
require them with sufficient vessels nt
tho time they may be wanted. During
the winter months, when the railroads
arc blocked witli snow, the river will
furnish an outlet to the ocean by the
way of New Orleans. Tho barges will
be made up in tows, and during the
whole year, except at a very low stage
of the water, this highway can be util
ized. The scheme is not entirely a new
onp, but merely an extension of one
already in existence.

in history at the period when Charles

Rouen, in 1449. He wore a hat lined
with red velvet, and surmounted with
a rich plume of feathers. It is from
this reign that lints nnd enps are dated,

Tho custom of crowning the poets
originated among the Greeks, and was
adopted by the Iiomnns during the em

pe
invented the title of poet-laureate. The

The tradition concerning the laureate in
England is that Edward III., in 1367,
emulating the crowning of Petrarch at
Rome in 1341, granted theofficeto Chau

laureate was mnde a patent office. From
that time there lina been a regular su

Novelties In I’nper Making.
One of the successful novelties into
which straw paper is worked up is the
cork and corrugated paper, made by a
firm over in Brooklyn, near the navy
yard. The cork and corrugated pa per
consists ol straw paper or board, on
which is placed granulated cork, the
cork being fastened to the surface of t lie
cardboard by a heavy sizing. Substi
tute cork for sand as you look at sand
paper, and you will have an idea of the
appearance of cork paper. Tiie article
is corrugated as desired. It is used
largely as a packing for a great variety
of bottled merchandise, being substi
tuted for straw.
The manufacturers buy their straw
in from fifty to seventy-live ton lots.
Another important use for strawboard
has been developed in the past few years
in the manufacture here of round paper
boxes, tho peculiarity of which is that
tho heads or covers are of one piece, in
stead of consisting of a disc and a rim
such as is seen, for instance, ia the ordi
nary pill box cover. The covers and
bottoms, being of tho same form, are
