THE DAILY E FINING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 18G8. G SEPTEMBER MA GAZINE8. Harper's Jlonthlj. An elegarnly illustrated article on "Silver and Bilver-plate" contains the following inte resting paragraphs: Silver is an admirable product of nature. In London once a grain of silver was beaten nt so thin that it covered ninety-eight square Inches. This experiment proved that silver is more malleable than Rold, for a grain of gold has never been spread over more than seventy-five square inches. If eleven hundred of those films of silver had been laid one upon Another, they would have formed a sheet about as thick as the paper upon which these words are printed. If it had been rt quired to form a pile of the m one inch high, about three hun dred and twenty thousand leaves would have leen necessary. Now three hundred and twen ty thousand sheets of good thick printing-paper would make a stack as high aa an ordinary church steeple. If we desired to make a pile of those thinnest leaves of silver aa high as that we should require four or five hundred millions of them. It was the opinion of those who conducted this experiment, that even these inconceivably thin silvery film could be beaten out still thinner if more delicate means could be devised for doing the work, for when the implements employed could effect nothing further the malleability of the metal did not seem to be near exhausted. Tested in another way, silver shows the fineness of its temper, and a slight superiority over gold. When mechanics desire to ascertain the tensile strength of a material, they get a slow, steady pull upon a bar of it one inch square, and note how many pounds that bar will bear before being pulled apart. There is a beauti ' ful machine for the purpose, which consists of a series of levers so arrangsd that half a pound placed upon the first lever pulls five thousand pounds upon the bar to be tested. It has been found that an inch bar of cast leal breaks at SUO pounds, while the same thiukness of oak wood will sustain before breaking 17j300 pounds, and locust 20,000 pounds. An inch bar of cast gold will sustain twenty-two thou sand pounds, but a similar bar of cast silver will not break until it has been subjected to a strain of forty-one thousand five hundred pounds. Thus silver is not greatly inferior in strength to the best cast iron, an inch bar of which sustains 011,000 pouuds. The best wrought iron, however, will support a weight of eigh-four thousaud pounds; and steel has been made of such astonishing tenacity that an inch bar of it has lifted one hundred and fifty thousand pounds before breaking. It is a curious thing, however, that a mixture of two metals is stronger thau either of its in gredients; and here gold has a slight advan tage over silver. An inch bar composed of five ounces of silver and one ounce of copper breaks at forty-eight thousand five hundred pounds; but one made of the same proportions of gold and copper will hold until a fifty thou sand pound pull is brought to bear upon it. Of the eight metals now ranked as precious, namely, gold, silver, platinum, iridium, rhodi um, palladium, ruthenium and osmium, each possesses some quality or qualities which ren ders it uniquely valuable for some purposes; but silver is the one which unites in itself the greatest number of useful properties with very great beauty. All the bullion and coin of Wall street is carried about the streets iu common, open carts, precisely such as are used in carrying ordinary merchandise. For twenty-two years past one carman, John C. Harkley, best known in the street as "Honest John," whose three carts stand at the busy corner of Wall and Broad streets, has done the carting for the bullion dealers and backers of the city, any of whom would trust him in their vaults with treasure uncounted. Tall, robust, and ruddy, Honest John haa in his countenance precisely the expression which we should expect to see in the faoe of one who for so many years has borne so honorable a name. lie began in the street twenty-seven years ago, and, after his fifth year, he became the established carman of the coin and bullion men. It is his carts that go to the California steamers and convey their kegs of gold to the vaults to which they are consigned. Ilis carts assist to restore the financial balance between the two continents by conveying gold to and from the Canard steamers in Jersey City. lie had occasionally carried for short distances, down hill, a million dollars in gold, which weighs two tons; but his opinion is that seven hundred thousand dollars is about aa much as a humane man will ever permit his horse to iraw over these rough pavements for any considerable distance. On a busy day he will have as maoy as twenty loads of precioua metals. A load of gold, when it goea across the town, is usually accompauied by a clerk of the house to which it belongs; but it often happens that honest John is quite alone when he has as much gold on his cart as a horse can draw. For such service he gets higher com pensation than when he carries an ollice-desk or a load of printing-paper; and, indeed, he has the air of a man who could show a little gold and silver of his own if there were oo casion. In the "Last Years of Kosciuscko" we find the following description of the closing hours of the great Polish hero: Filled with forebodings of his approaching end, he also took that step which excited the admiration of all Europe, and by which he once more manifested the humane and en lightened spirit which animated him he freed all his serfs on his estate of Siechnowice. The memorable instrument, which was signed on the 21 of April, 1817, declared serfs be longing to the above-named estate to be free citizens and proprietors of the soil which they had hitherto cultivated, and provided, also, that they should henoeforth not pay any more taxes in money, kind, or labor to the lords of the manor. At the same time he be queathed this estate to his niece, Catherine Estkowa and her children. - In the fall of the Fame year a malgnant epi demio of a typhoid character, probably brought on by the preceding famine, broke out at So lenre. It was to become fatal to the old Gene ral too. On the first of October the first symp toms of the disease male their appearance. With the calmness peculiar to him he made at once his will. The larger portion of his considerable lortune he bequeathed to the Neither family, and nuad, of course, the most liberal provision for his beloved Emily. The poor, the orphan asylum, and several other charitable institutions were remembered with his usual muuificenee; and he, moreover, handed a large sum iu cash to his fiiend Amiet. a lawver. for distribution among pertous in straitened circumstances. ne declared most emphati cally that his fuuural shsuld be as simple as possible; but he wished that six poor men thould carry his coiliu to th sutm. After making these dispositions Kosciuszko, heaving a sigh of relief, laid down his peu and ex claimed, "now l am at ease again l' Although me symptoms oi nis aisease seemed not to lusiity any serious apprehensions, and his in tellect remained clear and unimpaired to .the last, it was his firm conviction that he would die. He conversed calmlv with his friend Zeltner, who scaroely left his bedside, on his paBt and on the future of l'oland a subject which engroBBed Lis attention to the last. Solemn and cWplv affctiog was the mo ment when Kosclufiko took leave of Z-ltnr and his family. All knelt down at the bed side of the Wovd Bufferer; he gave his bless ing and addressed A word of love and oorwita tion to each of them. Then, in accordance with the old custom, he caused his sword to be handed to him, ga.ed at it mournfully for a few moments, and laid it down by his side as if to Intrust to it the custody of his ashes. On the 15th of October, toward nightfall, his strength was rapidly decreasing, and all felt that the end was close at hand. All at once he raised himself up with a last spas modic effort, held out his hands to Mr. and Madame Zeltner, greeted his Emily with a sweet smile, and, heaving a gentle sigh, sank back, lie was dead. i A post-mortem examination took place next day, and the remains were then embalmed. The body was covered all over with the traoes of old wounds; several deep scars adorned his breast, and his skull was crossed with sabre- strokes. V hen the corpse was undressed tne undertaker found on his breast a white hand kerchief, which he had worn there ever since his youth, and of the meaning of which few persons were aware. It was the last love pledge which Louisa Sosnowska, daughter of the Marshal of Lithuania, had given to him, and which he had worn on his heart for forty years past as a pieciona relio of his pure and only love. Forty years before, when the illus trious deceased had been but an obscure cap tain, he had wooed the young lady. But her haughty parents had scornfully rejected the poor young nobleman. An elopement was the consequence of this reply, and already the two lovers had escaped under color of the night, and were close to the goal of their wishes when armed pursuers overtook them. Kosciuszko defended himself with lion hearted courage, but he was overpowered and sank, severely wounded, to the ground. When he awoke to consciousness all that he found of his beloved was a handkerchief which she had dropped, and which was stained with his blood. He picked it up; it was the same handkerchief which was found after his death. It was on account of this unhappy love affair that the young officer quitted the Polish service and devoted his sword to the deliverance of the American colonies. He never forgot Louisa Sosnowska, and always rejected the advice of his friends to marry another lady. Louisa, on her part, became, Beveral years afterwards, the wife of a distinguished l'ole, but she always remained devoted in true friendship to her beloved Thaddeus. From a clever artiole on "Woman's Work and WageF," we take the following: There are now eight States of the Union in which the females are in excess of the males, to the number of 74,3(X, according to the latest census report (lSu'O). Massachusetts alone has 3G,970 more females than males; Is'ew York has an excess in the same direction of 11,032; while the little State of Connecticut has 7802 more females than males in her terri tory. But these figures represent the popula tion of all ages from one year upward, and I find that the excess is confined entirely to middle-aged persons, and hence the above figures by no means represent the excess of women or the working age over the meu of the same stage of life say from 15 to 50 years of age. The males between the ages of 1 and 15 years, and between i0 and upward, largely predominate in each of the eight States; the excess on the part ef the women is wholly confined to the ages of 15 to 50. Thus in the State of New York, for instance, there are 38,7b3 more females than males between the ages of 15 and 50 three and a half times the whole excess in the State. Still greater and more startling is the excess of females of what is usually considered the marriageable age, ro to ,ju years, over the men of marriageable aires, 25 to 40. In New York there are 501,745 females aged from 15 to 30, against 458,1)08 males of from 25 to 40, showing an excess of 132.837 females. This proves conclusively that the marriageable young women of JNew iork are in a bad way to get husbands; particularly so tdnce it must also be borne in mind that there is a large number of men of marriageable age who will never marry. The census reports, besides revealing that the excess of females is confined to those be tween 15 and 30, alse show that this great excess is not to be lound in the agricultural, but the manufacturing districts and the large cities. If we apply the calculation as above to the large cities of the Northeast the result will be astounding. It would seem to indicate that in the city of New York alone, where the excess of women over men of all ages and colors is 21,050, there are actually about two hundred thousand more females over la and under 30 years of age than there are males over z5 and under 40. And taking the several cities which are commercially aud socially a part of the metropolis, including all Man hat tan Island, Brooklyn, Williamsburg, jersey City, and Uoboken, the result shows that there are 300,000 more young women than men just iu the prime of life, while there are really about iio.uoo who cau not hope to obtain husbauds of their own or any other age. Equally startling and painful facts, showing the same obstacles to marriage in England, have lately been published in the JSorth Urttish litview. it appears that tne num ber of women who are obliged to remain single in England and Wales iu consequence of the disproportion of the sexes is between three and four hundred thousaud. The number of ladies who actually are single exceeds one mil lion and a half, and of these twelve hundred and thirty thousaud are in the bloom and prime of life. 1 had occasion, some time since to visit seve ral of the principal manu acturing establish ments of ISew York city in search of statistics in regard to the numbers of women employed and the average wages received by them. Of course, I could arrive at the former only ap proximately; there is no positive data as to numbers to be obtained, but the aggregate is mai h larger than is generally supposed; cer tainly, the facts which I obtained astouished me. Taking the statements of a number of manufacturers largely employing women as the basis for calculation, I arrived at the con elusion that aoout 100,000 women were em ployed in other than domestic labor, and supported themselves, but tula is evi dently erroneous. And yet more thau ore manufacturer insisted that at least fiO.OOO more should be added to this; but as I am convinced they meant to include the thousands of women who do needle-work aud plain sewing in such moments as they cau snatch fiom domestic duties at Louie, I have left them out of this estimate. Aud, indeed, it is highly probable that many of this class are included in the estimates on which are based the calculation which shows that there are 100,000 women employed as manufac turers, etc. This can hardly be, for the total female population between the ages of 15 aud 50 of New York and Kings oouuties, N. Y., and Hudson county, N. J., which contaiu the cities of New York, Brooklyn, and Jer sey City, is only 3311,797. It is probable that not more than one-fourth of these support therueelves by other than domes tic werk. Of this number employers with whom I conversed thought there were 40,00 J seamstresses not needle-women who ply the needle as a magio wand, and produce the most delicate and costly fabrics, but plain sewers eegsged in making clothing, etc, at wholly unrcmunerative rates. This estimate doubt less included- the many who make this labor a secondary consideration of their lives. - But I have no doubt that a very large, proportion of the working-women of the oity and oountry indeed are engaged in this unremunerative field, while dozens of better paying manufac tures are avoided. There are probably 18,000 or 20,000 seamstresses in New York and its adjacent cities who might be employed in fields where the demand Is greater, the pay better, and the work lighter, less confining, and far healthier. By tbe lust cm-vn of London, England, It ap pears there are H5.12S sentiiMreFses end needle, voroeo, of whom 43,ltt!8 are milliners and dress-makers.
