that "JThmS for Such an Innumerable variety of
Twldt" whWh we paid to the ribbon faotory of
i7-V liHrhner A Co., on Tlnga street, was full of
ta&t ana' we are Indebted to the enterprising
nronrieto? for an opportunity to make a full examl
SSCn of the i factory ami a clear explanation of tho
bTautlfu machinery that l used for making ribbons
of the highest class. This llrm has been engaged
for about ten years In the business of lmporttm? nb
hons at No. 433 Chesmit street A few years ago
thpy'comrncnced the experiment of manufacturing
ribbons for themselves. Two hand-looms were set
tin In their store, and It was demonstrated that tho
thinir would pay. This determined them to go Into
the business on a more extensive scale and about
three vears ago Mr. ltschner purchased a piece of
land near his residence at Tioga, and lilted upa fine
brick barn which stood upon It as a ribbon factory.
Bv a somewhat singular coincidence, the barn,
which whs a large, substantial brick building, was ori
Blnally'erected bv Kendcrton Smith during the mom
inu'tkaulus excitement, for tnc purp.we of broedlnif
silkworms. After that queer bubble burst the
barn was used for storing grain and hay, until after
thirty years It became again the scene of sllk-muk-lug
operations: in a manner somewhat different,
however, from what Us builder Intended. Tlie
building Is large and airy, and with very little alte
ration It has been converted Into a most convenient
and well-arranged factory, at an expense of about
The'silk used Is obtained in hanks from China and
Japan, and the firm have now a largo Invoice on tne
way from China via Kan Francisco and the Paolilo
Railroad. Atwut eight thousand pounds of raw silk
are used per annum. It Is mostly dyed In this city ;
Borne of the colors, such as scarlets, pinks, greens,
etc., cost about 14 per pound to dye, and the dyeing
bill averages over 11300 per month. The silk, before
It Is used, mnst be twisted, and this operation Is per
formed In this country. To show how line the fibres
of the silk are, we may state that the finest raw silk,
iHjfore It Is twisted, has about twenty thousand
yards to the ounce. The operations of twisting,
cleaning, picking out the knots and flaws, winding
upon the bobbins for the weavers, nil are very deli
cate, and reauire well-trained and skilful fingers.
With such an expensive article, it Is of the utmost
Importance that there shall be as little waste as pos
sible, and one of the greatest dilllcullies that the
manufacturers have to contend with is to train their
employes Into an appreciation of the value of the
material they are handling, and to educate that
fine sense of touch which is essential lu the manipu
lation of the silk. The best workmen employed by
Messrs. ltschner A Co. are Imported from Europe, but
they have also a large number of girls and boys
that have been educated in the factory. For a year
or two the labor of these hands was a dead loss;
but they are now beginning to acquire the skill neces.
nary ta do line work, and the prospects are that
there will In the future be no dilllculty about ob
taining skilled labor. The wages of these operatives
averages $11200 per week ail the year round, and for
their accommodation there are twenty-four neat
houses erected near the factory. Many women take
work home with them, and this Is considered In
some respects a great advantage, as the children
become accustomed to seeing the silk going through
ihe various processes, and from their earliest lu
Jancy they acquire an appreciation of its value and
the care that is required in handling it, bo that when
ihcy come to work in the factory they become proll-
ient sooner than perfectly greeu hands.
The factory coLtains In all seventy-five looms,
forty of which have the Jacquard attachment. These
tnrn out about 10,000 yards of ribbon per day. Most
Of the looms arc made In .Switzerland, as, indeed, IB
all of the (Incut machinery. The Jacquard loom Is a
beautiful piece of mechanism, upon which all the
figured designs which appear on silks and ribbons
are woven.
Jacquard, the inventor of this apparatus, was a
straw hat niiMiufacturer at Lyons. I lis attention was
first directed to the subject of mechanical invention
by seeing in a newspaper an oiler of a reward for a
machine for making nets, lie produced a machlue,
but dlil not claim the reward. The circumstance be
came known to some person in authority In Paris,
Jacnuard was sent for. Introduced to Napoleon, and
was employed to correct the defects of a loom be
longing to the State, on which large sums of money
had been expended. Jacquard said that ho could
f roduce the effects intended oy lar simpler means,
le was reauested to do so, and, Improving upon a
model of Vaucanson, he produced the apparatus that
bears his name, no returned to J.yons witn a pen
sion of looo crowns, but his Invention was viewed
with much mlBtrust by the weavers, and they at'
tempted to suppress it by violent means. Other
countries, however, appreciated the invention and
brought it Into successful operation, rivalling and
even surpassing the products of the French looms,
which brought the Lyons weavers to their senses.
The Jacquard apparatus consequently soon got Into
general use in tne suk, musnn, ana woonen maim
factoring districts of England and France.
The Jaeauard aiwaratus Is not a loom, but an ap
pendage to one. It is attached to the upper part of
the frame, and its function Is to raise- the warp
threads In the order and number required for the
pattern for the passage of the shuttle. These threads
are raised by a numter of wire hooks arranged in
rows. These hooks are supported by bars, and the
bars are supported by a frame which is alternately
raised and lowered by the proper mechanism. If the
bars are all raised at the same time, all the warp
threads will be elevated ; but if some of the hooks
are pushed off of the bars, while others are allowed
to remain on, such warp threads only will be raised
as are connected with the engaged hooks. To dis
engage the hooks from the bars, they are attached
by loops In horizontal wires, which are kept In posi
tion by spiral springs contained in a frame, and with,
the points of the wires protruding from the opposite
S de.
If the points of the wires are pressed with any
force, they are driven Into the frame and tuo
books disengaged from the threads. When the pres
sure is removed, the springs drive the wires forward
and restore the hooks to their position. The method
of driving back the wires Is by means of a revolving
bar of wood of four Bides, each side being peirced
with holes corresponding In number and position
With the points of the horizontal wires. One of
the bides of this bar is brought up against the points
of the wires alternately as It revolves, aud if the sides
of the bar were alone opposed to the points, they
would simply enter the holes, and no effect would be
produced ; but If some of the holes ba stopped, while
others are left open, the wires which touch the
Stopped holes will be driven back and the hooks dis
engaged, while those which enter the holes would
remain undisturbed, and the warp threads at
tached to their vertical wires would be
raised. This stoppage of some of the holes In each
face of the revolving bar is effected by covering it
with a card containing holes corresponding to those
in the bar, but fewer In number; bo that when the
?iolnts of the wire come , in contact with an uuper
orated part of the card they are driven back, but
when the points enter the holes of the card the wires
are not moved, and consequently the hooks remain
in their oars, uy mis coninvauce tne intended
pattern Is made out. if the pattern Is complicated,
the number of curds is very considerable. The re
volving bar presents a new card to the points of the
wires at every quarter revolution, the holes in the
cards being so arranged as to raise In succession
those threads which will make out the Intended
pattern, and it la necessary that there shall be as
many cards as there are threads of weft.
A portrait of Jacquard woven In silk by the Lyon
Hesu weavers, representing himMn his workshop, sur
rounded by his Implements, and planning the con
struction of the apparatus which bears his name,
required 4,000 cards, each card being large
enough to receive low) holes. The cards are fastened
together lu an endless chain, one complete revolu
tion of which makes out the pattern.
In preparing these cards It is necessary first to
make out a design, on lined paper, similar to that
used for worsted work patterns ; each of the spaces
inclosed between the lines represents a thread, and
after the pattern Is made, the holes for the cards are
calculated from it by a simple process, aud the holes
are punched bv a machlue provided for the purpose.
The Jacquard loom Is used for all .kinds of figured
work on silk goods. There Is no demand for figured
ribbons at present, and the Jacquard looms of
imchner A Co. are mostly employed ou plain goods.
They have, however, recently turned out some ex
cellent specimens of Jacquard work In the shape of
badges, business cards, etc. A view of their fac
tory, which we have before us, is a line sample of
w lutt can be doue by this process.
It has been up-hill work to get this factory firmly
established, and Its proprietors have had to contend
with Innumerable illitlcultles which could not be
.foreseen, aud which had to be met aud overcome as
thy aroft. The factory, however, Is now working
under tne must i nc our,ng huhoicch, and In lurmiM
out goods that will eornparc favorably with those
from Koropr an looms. This buslr ess of manufao
luring ribbons I an Important addition to the Indus
tries of Philadelphia; It not only employs a large
number of hands, hut It Is an Introduction to a more
extensive manufacture of the finer fabrics for which
we are now entirely dependent upon Europe. Our
description of the factory of Messrs. ltschner' Co.
Is necessarily Incomplete, but It Is to be hoped that
we have said enough to snow what Is being done In
this line, and to excite some Interest among thoso
who have loiked npon ribbons as only bits of finery
that are not worthy of serious consideration.

Lords on the Irith Church bill has created in
tense excitement. Messrs. Bright and Glad
stone are dally in recciptof letters offering a re
commencement of the Reform League agitation,
but they discountenance the movement
at present, and express a belief that the Lords
will recede at the host moment from
offering any marked opposition to the expressed
will of the people, though a compromise is
effected in the postponement of the date of dis
establishment to January, 1872, by paying
lump sum oi nan a minion pounds sterling in
lieu of the private donations, and by allowing
the life interest to be computed at fourteen
years' purchase.
The following letter has been circulated prl
vately among well-known progressives, in view
of the probable failure of tho passage of tho
Irish Church bill, through the opposition of tho
House of Lords:
Sir: In view of the probable failure of tbo
Irish Church bill, through the opposition of
the Jlonsc ol Lords to tne government, the
Commons, and tnc country, you are re
quested to inform tho Secretary of the
