From tho New York Humid. COTTON TI'KNKB INTO SILK. iiUL MAONEIi’S DISCOVERY iSP "’HAT OKMB OF IT. | A ft'"' weeks ago there arrived in this city from New Orleans a dapper little Frenchman named Paul Mag her, accompanied by a Teutonic friend of riper years, u Or. Edward Kuuo itnan The former had been a prue tlsing chemist In Now Orleans, and i Bkiued lo betho discoverer of a won. Wjrful process by which llax or cotton ®re could be converted into silk, or ■to a texture so nearly like silk us to defy all ordinary inspections and *ljes• • The results of this process of Which the Frenchman alone had the j Sheer, t had already been exhibited by sumpie to a limited circle of man- j Ufa,'Hirers and ex|ierta at Hie South. 1 So thorough and deceptive was the change which it accomplished that 1 tho majority of such i>ersous could only imagine a fraud. They smiled with credulity at the assumption that the "peoimens submitted to them by the Frenchman were other than gen uine silk, which, they insisted, he must have substituted adroitly for j the flax and cotton yarns that lie pro fessed to have transformed. But Paul Jlagner was a chemist of some repu- ! tation. He claimed that he had de voted long, patient, months to the analysis of the various fibres. In tile aoeoon of the silkworm he had identi fied certain elements which were wanting in the fibres of the llax anil cotton plants. Those elements, chem ically obtained, he claimed to he able to apply to tho latter products in sueii manner that they should be convert ed into an article which must be re firded ns silk in all that the name Iplies. Parcels of cotton and llax i trns, accurately weighed, distinct ly marked atid otherwise identi- j fled, had been passed into his labora tory bv the dozen, and within fifty minutes he had returned correspond ing ones of lustrous silk! The latter! had even been analyzed by expert chemists, and certified not to be real silk, but to be veritable cotton and flax yarns aforesaid. THE INVENTOB COM US TO NEW YOKE. A few persons accordingly were led to believe in M. Maguerand his pro cess. Among others was a New Or leans agent of Messrs. Selignian & Cos., bankers, of this city. The chem ist had applied fora patent at Wash ington and in several European coun tries to protect his process, but lie had no capital wherewith to work it. An arrangement, was made with him on behalf of this firm that he should come on to New York to develop his process, that they would supply him with preliminary funds, and that so 80011 as he could convince them that tho manufacture was practicable on an extended scale un ample amount of capital would be forthcoming to take a partnership in Ids invention* or to purchase the- right of using it within a determined area. The Dr. Kuneman referred to was a |>ersonal friend of Magner’s, one who had ns jdsted him la New (Meant) and whom h" brought with him as an associate Ki his ambitious projects. K Meanwhile, tidings of the discovery ‘ and discoverer had reached Messrs. .Trailßrothers, silk manufacturers at "'Patterson, N. J., whose New York gware-rooms are in No. W. Greene street. Mr. Edwin T. Prall sought out Monsieur Magner, anxious to he informed of his remarkable discov ery. He found him, as he told the writer yesterday, to be an accom plished, weil-road gentleman, appar ently acting in perfect good faith and utterly absorbed in tile possibilities of his discovery. If anything, ho was fjoo enthusiastic, too rapt, and was Consequently nervous and excitable t.u a degree. With a Frenchman, and an inventor, however, this was per haps natural; and so it was arranged that lie could have the use of Messrs. •Pi-all's silk factory at Patterson— there to perfect and amplify his meth lod.s, and there to begin the new mail lufacturo. The Frenchman was to j have the use of machinery and power. The manufacturers expected to be ids ( agents for the sale of the goods, and | the Seligmans, as already stated, i were to advance the capital as I "special” partners, or, as was deter ! mined later, a joint stock company ( was to be formed, with a proportioh i ate interest to each. “there’s millions in it." } The mercurial and sanguine inven fctor was sobli busied in the construc- Ition of retorts and apparatus of vari fous kinds. In these labors he was assisted bv his friend Dr. Kuneman. M onday week both made their ap- \ Paterson the former ac ycompanied by a indy as his wife, and si pretty little girl, then daughter. The whole party put up ut the. Ham ilton House. The Frenchman began to be very busy at tile Prall’s mills, . in overalls and shirtsleeves, tnanu- \ faeturing Ills chemicals. A quantity of the latter, prepared for the trims mutation of cotton, llax, Ac., into silk, was soon in readiness. A small .parcel of flax yarn was ope- Erated on; woven into ribbon by jprall’s machinery; cnitir out. as fglossy us th purest silk. Ml eon Hoerned were in eestacies. “There’s [millions in it,” was the unanimous lory, ami it whs thereupon baptize |. | and was to be known in commerce by I tUp name of soieiie. I MYSTF.RIOttS DISAPPEARANCE OF THE IN VENTOR. I But now comes a most singular I story from Paterson. Wednesday of I last week the Frenchman suddenly I disappeared. The Doctor could not I account for his absence. Madame [ and her little daughter seemed to | take the matter tranquilly. Tim : Pralls were mystified. Soon after his j disappearance the proprietor of the hotel received a telegram from Mr. ; Seltgman, asking him to advise when | tho lady should leave. This she did 1 Friday last, since which time nothing | has been heard either of herself or | her talented liege. Mr. Edwin Prall l says lie has learned of her departure for Europe, possibly prearranged | with the mysterious chemist. The t Doctor is still in New York, and pro r fesses to be in a terrible quandary at i the desertion of his friend. He had I left, lie says, a lucrative practice in New Orleans to found his fortunes in | the silken bonanza. Mr. Prall still maintains perfect I faith in the Frenchman's process and I the integrity of tile man himself. He f thinks that the latter was worried [ and overwrought, perhaps became [ entirely crazy, and fled to Europe to escape" imaginary evils. A box of [ ribbons, woven from common iiux yarn, but brilliant as from the looms | of Lvons, remains at Mr. Prall’s i offlee’to testify to what might have I been. THE Opelika Weekly Times, BENJ. H.
