Since 1856, the propor tion of tonnage of American vessels trading with American pons has dwindled from 714 per cent, to about 20 per cent, while that of foreign vessels has increased to nearly 80 per cent Of course the de cay of ship-building has kept pace with the decline in the use of American ships, Last year we built only about forty thou sand tons of iron ships, largely for the protected coast trade, while in Great Britain more than six hundred and fifty toousand tons were built, The first attempt to cultivate cranber¬ ries in this country was made in 1812 by Captain Henry Hall, of Barnstable, Mass. Their cultivation has a-sumed vast pro¬ portions ; not less than 50,000 barrels being annually produced on Cape Cod, and a still larger amount in New Jersey. The same industry increase yearly in Maine,- Michigan and Wisconsin. The est places for cultivating these berries i?opQftt hogs, which are near deposits of . lean sand. It is a trailing, evergreen, s „ mi . m tie plant which derives its substenance almost entirely from air and water. 11 requires no fertilizer and needs no Cultivation after a few years. T he vines once in bearing will, by judicious management, produce a good crop yearly during a generation if not for a century. A yield of four hundred bushels to the acre is not infrequent, though half that amount is regarded as an average crop in Jfew Jersey. I he price is rarely less than | 10 a barrel, and during February, 1869( they so ld in Philadelphia for $32 a barrel. The cultivation consists in keep ; r) g other vegetation down till the vines cover the ground. The demand for these delicious berries constantly increases.

'The Bar holdi statue is made of copper strengthened by an inner skeleton of iron. For each piece a center or mold was made of wood, on which the copper could be worked and fitted. The sheet copper epidermis of the figure is made of 300 pieces, and weighs 178,000 pounds, while the iron frame weighs 261,000 poun s. When finally erected, the molded sheets of copper will he riveted together by copper holts, and the iron skeleton will be secured to the mrsoury by twelve great foundation bolts. The variations due to temperature are pro vided for by elasticity in every part, and corroding will be checked by painting with red lead wherever iron and copper are in contact. It is reckoned that the pressure of wind upon the statue, which will be 150 feet high, may go as high as 190,000 pounds, James A. Gary, proprietor of the Al berton Mills, on the Patapsco, who is largely interested in the Laurel Mills, said : The South for the past five or ten years has had a mania for putting up cotton mills.

Cotton goods from the mills at Augusta and Columbus, Georgia, are carried North for forty-eight cents a hundred pounds, but the same goofs sent from the North must pay $1.25. This is pro¬ tection of the South against Northern competition. The railroads claim that they make low rates ou North-bound freight rather than send cars back from the South empty. In the thirty-five years of my business experience I think the outlook at present is the least satis¬ factory I have known. The warehouses are full of goods, for which there is no market except at prices that either would show a loss or no profit. Maryland cot¬ ton manufacturers have lost more by the competition of Southern mi Is tliau those of any other State. We make the coarse goods which the South is making, and feel the over-production most. There are too many spindles, and the spindles increase more rapidly than the popula¬ tion which is to consume the manufac¬ tured products.

General Sheridan, commander of tiro army, will visit Lake de Funiak, Fla, to select a site for the Military Gulf Sani¬ tarium. Memphis is building a flour mill with a capacity of 150 ban-els a day and a grain elevator with a storage capacity of 55,000 bushels. Taxes to the amount of $814,751 duo tbe defunct corporation of Memphis still remain uncollected, the interest on which now- exceeds $300,000.

William and Mary College, of Vir¬ ginia, has closed its doors, having but one student at the beginning of this school year.

Among the most eminent men educated iu its halls were Washington, Marshall, Ran¬ dolph. Tyler, Breekenridge and Genera] Scott. Lynchburg Advance: From the report of the Commissioner of Agriculture it appears that during the season just closed no less than 70,000 tons ot fertilizers were sold in the Slate, thevalue of which from analysis was $2,657,000. Forty five thousand tons of ammoniated super¬ phosphates, 12,000 tons of^acid super¬ phosphate and 13,000 tons of bone, etc., were the representative divisions as to the character of the matter sold.

It was one mile from London, Ohio, in about the year 1853, when one Christopher Slagle had been given up consultations. to die by the physicians, He after several of nat¬ was a man urally stron g constitution, but an in¬ veterate user of tobacco. Almost at depth’s door, he muttered in a feeble voice: “If the ‘doctors’ can do nothing more for me, let Billy Fish try his ‘water’ treatment.” With no more kfitvv Tdgo of what to do than could he acquired from the reading of his jour¬ nal in a year, father undertook his task. Mark, row, his manner of proceeding : Placing two comforters upon the bed, then two woolen blankets upon them, he prepared his patient by removing all his garments. Then taking a sheet wrung from warm water, quickly spread it and bodily the poor man there was himself. lifted into it, too weak to get Then placing his arms -alongside his body, the wet sheet was wrapped tight¬ ly about every part of his body up to and including the neck. Then the first and second blankets were wrapped tightly about him, and lastly the com¬ forter. (A loose w-rapping is apt to chill for a w-liile.) Very cold spring water was used in wetting a cloth for liis forehead, and very warm applica¬ tions were put to his feet, a good draught of cold spring water given to drink, and the patient slept for one hour. Having the heat of the room at about 75 degrees, he was un packed, given a tepid hath and thor¬ oughly rubbed. The rolls of refuse that collected upon his skin and re¬ moved from his pores were perfectly as¬ tonishing. Had a miracle been per¬ formed it would not perhaps have been more marked than the effects of that “sheet- pack.” This was repeated twice a day (in his case) for two days, then reduced to once a day until the patient got v. 11. Not one drop of drugs passed into I s stomach after Billy Fish took bold of tbe patient. So much of a con¬ vert to water treatment did this man be.com e that he was discovered rolling naked at one time in the snow.— L. 8. Pish. Cleveland.

Ip there is any good in a man it is bound to come out; but it should not come out at once and leave the man empty. “Yes, my wife is a good poker-player,” then he says a Long Island farmer; and adds: “She is also just as handy with the tongs.” A woman is never displeased provided if we please several other women, she is preferred; it is many more tri¬ umphs for her. Society Is composed of two appetite great classes— those who have more than dinner, and those who have more dinner than appetite. ‘ ‘ A baby,” says the New York Journal, “is the oasis of married ■ life.” This does away with the popular notion that an oasis is a quiet place. The life of a woman can be divided into three epochs; in the first she dreams of love, in the second she experiences it, in the third she regrets it. “Dab is many a rale,” says Uncle Sam, “wat won’t work bofe ways. Whisky will produce a headache, but a headache won’t produce whisky.” The daughter of a Texan cattle king has just returned from Paris, where she says she walked through the Tooralooral and visited a sliottoe where she saw the Rtatnes of Physic and Catherino de Medicine.

An officer of the navy tells a war in¬ cident as follows : From St. Louis I had brought with me (for domestic use) a barrel of beer. Now the advent of a barrel of beer in the squadron was It a matter of profound public interest had hardly been rolled upon the Rover’s deck before our friends (and we then had many) had somehow instinctively smelt out its joyful presence. The sub¬ ject of beer was sympathetically dis¬ cussed on board the flagship, and onr friends suggested that as they were go¬ ing where it was uncertain whether they might ever taste beer again, they would presently pull over to the Rover in their gigs and partake with us of a sort of “stirrup cup.” Wells I Accordingly, Captain and hastened back home to prepare for this pleasant reception. The barrel was hoisted up to his cabin and laid upon a couple of chairs capsized for its sup¬ port. Then we proceeded to tap. read¬ As there may be possibly two or three ers who are unfamiliar with this opera¬ tion, I will state for their benefit that a beer barrel is plugged from within. When the spigot is to be inserted all that is requisite is to place this upon the end of the plug and drive it in with a few smart strokes of a hammer, careful, however, that the final and critical blow shall be emphatic enough to fasten the spigot in the bunghole; if not, you may have trouble. This is what we set set about to do—and whnt we had. The spigot was all right, but there was no hammer at hand, and we could not brook the delay to send for one. Cap¬ tain Wells told me to hold the spigot in position handle and broom he would held drive it with fashion, the of a harpoon an implement with which the captain was familiar; that is, the harpoon. We squatted in front of onr subject and I adjusted the spigot; the but, rather dubious of the accuracy of Captain’s aim at so small an object, I held the spigot at “long taw” between thumb and finger somewhat gingerly. However, the Cap¬ tain struck centre every shot. At the last blow in went the spigot, but it didn’t stick, and out came the beer ! When I regained breath and eyesight the tableau his before me was picturesque. On knees, gasping and coughing, hut with the fixedness of an implacable with purpose thumb in his eye, was the Captain, rammed to the hilt in the bunghole, while around it the fizzing fluid was es¬ caping in a beautiful radiated circle simi¬ lar Talk to the the corruscation “irrepressible of a pinwheel. conflict.” of That beer had the true instinct of lib¬ erty. The quartermaster brought a hammer and the next problem was to get the captain’s thumb out of the bunghole and get the spigot in. It was solved. A final blinding burst of foaming jimbo, spatter and we had our prisoner in or thought we had. Then we had time to survey the ruin we had wrought. Our visit to the flagship was “official,” and we had put on our best “biband tucker.” In our haste to let loose the beer we had neglected to divest ourselves of our adornments and they were drenched. Opposite point blank range of the barrel was the captain’s bureau, in which he garnered his good clothes—white vests, clean shirts, etc. When the beer made its debut the stream, after knocking us down, made a clean spring across the cabin and landed in those bureau draw¬ ers ! Then it sputtered about promiscu¬ ously as if bent upon a general treat. The cabin floor was afloat with beer. We summoned two or three sailors with “equilgees” to “swab us up.” See mg the luscious flood which inun dated the carpet, the men delicately they would like a suck at it.

When their horizontal refreshment was finished they had “licked thirsty the platter clean.” and Mean¬ while our guests arrived were aghast. It remained to he seen what was left, and with a two-quart pitcher— and a melancholy doubt—I turned the spigot. Alas ! the glory of its mightiness was gene! The contents seemed ashamed to show themselves. We tipped up the barrel and forth trickled two miserable quarts of beer! We “divided ourselves among it,” as the German has it, and sadly drank to “a safe passage by Vicksburg.” Uncut Books and Magazines.
