Household Economy* Contributed by George J. Henkels, Cabinet Maker Thirteenth and Chestnut.] ■ Spring seats in sofas and chairs were first introduced about forty years ago, but the seats were made so hard that but little benefit was derived from the spring, except in appearance. When seats are made without springs, the hair used for stuffing sinks in service,and the cover becomes slack and wrinkled. The same occurs in hair matresses. Uphol sterers are often blamed because the matress wears in to hollows, when no still can prevent it, if the best hair is used. The better the quality of hair used, the more likely the matress is to wear down where a person lies. Com mon soft hair or even nog hair will wear more more evenly than the best hard hair will. The philosophy of this is very simple. The curl is put in hair by heat or steam, and the better the quality the more separate the hair will be, as is is a great consideration with uphol sters to have the hair well separated, to give it elasticity. When the matress is made elastic, as it should be, no matter how thick it is through, the heat of the body in lying on it will take the curl out of the hair, and it will necessarily pack closer together, and sink into hollows in the sides of a double, or the centre of a single bed. If the hair is of inferior quality, even of pure hair, it packs closer together in working, and will wear more evenly. Hog hair havingbut little curl in it from its being only three or four inches long, packs very close and wears very evenly. One of the best evidences of the matress being well rqade of good hair is the fact that it wears in hollows under the sleeper. If the hair wears in lumps or knots it is common material. A good matress will firßt wear in hollows, and after considerable service will become even, as the heat of the body having taken the curl out of the hair in the part most used in a short time, and it having sunk as far as it will the rest of the mat ress will sink the same after a time. Hut purchasers are too impatient to wait for this, and insist on having the hair re-picked and matresses made over again, when the same results will follow. Good matresses after four or five years service are always better and more comfortable than new ones.. Spring matresses if not too unwieldy are in finitely preferable to the others. In constructing one,the materials used and the principle of construction, are the same as those of sofa and chair seats, and one explanation will suffice for all. The spring is made of iron wire coiled around a wooden form narrowed in the middle and expanding towards the top and bottom. It is made this shape both for strength and to prevent the rattling of the coils • against each other, which would be the case if the spring was of uniform diame ter. As it is the coils close with one another when compressed. The spring is. sewed to the webbing composing the bottom of the seat, or.if the bottom is of wood it is secured by pieces of canvass passed around the lower coil and tacked to the wood. It is: very important to secure them properly for if they get loose at the bottom they will soon slip sideways and the whole seat will go down. Strong twine is then passed crossways eight times and is securely tied at the crossings both to the spring and the twine. The ends of the twine are then drawn tight and secured to the wood framing or outside of the seat. Heavy burlaps or canvass is then drawn tightly over the spring and well sewed around the edges: ■' If all is well done so far, there is no trouble about a spring seat wearing well; even if stuffed with tow. Everything depends on the foun dation. A strip of canvass is then stuffed in a roll, all around the edge of the seat, and the workman with a needle and fine twine stitches from four to six rows around it until he brings it at the top to a square edge. This is what is called “stitched edge,” which is very elastic, and will not break down. The requisite quantity of hair is then carefully spread over the surface, and strong muslin is drawn tightly over this. This is the ordinary way for good seatß. The best plan is to put a small quantity of hair and a second covering of burlaps and then quilt through and through tho roughly; afterward spread the hair and cover with muslin preparatory to final covering with;finer materials. Much of the cheaper class of furniture is stuffed with tow cotton waste, plaster ing or goat’s hair and shavings of wood. Even this kind of work will wear well if good springs are used, and they are properly secured so as to make a strong foundation. But this, unfortunately, is not the case, as the springs are set (some titnes only one in a seat) without being afri?cured at the bottom and instead of across the top they are only the upper bur-laps. This kind of n 0 service, and is easily t :by t be conical shape of the mas upholstery work in furniture an d in good taste, should 2: £J .® B “ a P® of the hacks of .waf^ l^ 8 the seats notftoo Jp fcd.ed on top, One hundred DAILY EVENIN G BULLETIN .—PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY.

The Wreck off tbe Snwanec. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7.— The following statement of the Suwanee disaster is fur nished by the supercargo, Frederick Schultz: The steamship Suwanee, Captain J. W. Catharine, left New York on the 27th of No vember, bound to Brazos Santiago, with a heavy freight, the vessel being loaded down with her gnards under water. The weather was moderate until after passing Abseeom light, when the wind blew fresh and from the south and west, with a head sea. . While standing down for Cape Henlcpen, bound for the Delaware Breakwater, the steamer struck on a shoal off Hereford Inlet; and finding it impossible to get her off, without lightening, threw over about 200 cases of heavy goods, when she floated' off;' she was then run for the Breakwater and anchored. After taking in some freight there, put to see on the 30th, with a strong westerly wind. Nothing occurred ud to the night of the 8d of December, when off the South Carolina coast, running down for Cape Romans light, a heavy gale set in from the south and east, the wind and sea increasing, until at mid night it blew a hurricane, the ship laboring heavily, and frequently falling off into the trough of the sea, taking water over the hur ricane deck. From this time up to 5 A. M. the water gained rapidly, the steam and hand pumps were kept going, and efforts made to lighten her by throwing over cargo. At 5 A. M. the water was within 12 inches of the fires, and the firemen up to their waists in water, trying to keep the fires go ing. At 6 o’clock, finding the ship mast go down, got out boats and launoned them safely, although the sea was running very heavy. All the ship’s crew left her in safety, and about an hour after we saw her go down. After leaving, the boats, three In number, steered to the north and west, the captain’s boat, containing fifteen persons, being ahead, the other two boats, in charge oi the chief mate and first engineer, keeping com pany. About 9A. M. lost sight of the cap tain’s boat, and having no compass in either of our boats, we shaped our course by the sun, trying to make land. About meridian we made a sail io the eastward. The first mate made a signal of distress, and both boats kept away for the friendly ship. It proved to be the brig Potomac, of Bnqfca port, Me., J. L. Snow, master, sixty hours from Charleston for Georgetown, S. C. The captain took ns on board and did every thing in his power to meet our necessities, none of us having anything but the clothes we had on. He landed ns safely at George town's. C., and under the providence of God we are indebted to him for our lives. We are under a 'lasting obligation also to Capt. Davis,of the steamer Fannie,for a free passage to this port, and his kindness to ua while on board. The following is a list of the ship’s com pany: Captain’s boat—J. W. Catharine, wife and two children; A. Smith, second assistant engineer; Wm. Hill, oiler; John Gill, fire man; J. Murphy, coal heaver; Thos. Shay, do. do.; Dr. Hadiey, passenger;iSenor Blank, passenger, Mexico;- W. H. Brooks and Gil bert Smith, seamen; James Wise, steward; Frank, landsman; fifteen in all, who have not been heard from.

We Engage a New Reporter-lie Roea In Searcb of tbe Bridge te “ Write her Un” in Ptndlug tne Bridge—How He was' Impressed—lie &elPAe “° f ll — Knles tor Passeusers’ Most everybody thinks he can 1 ‘edit’ ’ on a newspaper; if he can’t himself he has a relative that he would like to see try It once. We have frequent applica tions from people who want to “edit.” Sometimes they write us long letters about it; at other times they come and see us in person. - Yesterday we had a call from one of the latter class. He was a young man, with the odor of the fields about him; in fact it was his first visit to the city. He said he came "to hire out to edit,” and : wanted to know what We were “paying our hands.” We .asked him if he had ever reported. “Once,” he said,'hesitatingly, “I was drafted and I—l reported.” That was enough. There were so few who did report when drafted, that we wanted him as a curiosity. We directed him to make a trip across the new sus pension bridge to Covington, and write it up for the paper. We told him,more over, not to return without full particu lars. He started on his mission, well pleased, and the following is OUR NEW REPORTER’S ACCOUNT OF SEE ING the Suspension bridge. I got on board a street car, and told the driver to drive me to the new suspension bridge, as ra pidly as possible. He smiled a lit tle, said “ail right,” and drove on. Asked a man how loßg since the bridge had “suspended,” and how much it was likely to pay on the dollar. He replied that judging from the rate of charges established,he thought they would make it .pay right smart on the dollar. I asked him if he wasn’t down on the bridge. He said no, he was “down on the la d ing.” After a long ride through many streets the car stopped. The people all got out so I got out too, supposing that we had reached the bridge. But no bridge could I see anywhere. I went np to a big tavern labeled “Brighton House,” and inquired for the bridge. They di rected me to a bridge about half a mile away,which proved to be a canal bridge. Found that tne great suspension bridge that I was looking for to report on wa3 two or three miles in the opposite direc tion. Made another dash fora street car, hailed it and asked the conductor if he passed the big bridge. “No,” he yelled, “don’t pass no body.” “Could I reach it with your car?” I in quired. “Couldn’t reach it with a fifty-foot pole,” he answered. I let him go on and was overtaken by another car. “Will you letme off when I reach the big bridge?” said I. “Let you oft anywhere for six cents,” said he. “But that is not in order” “Order of the Superior Court.” This was very unsatisfactory, but I got aboard and determined to look out for the big bridge myself. On we went, up one street and down another, taking on peo ple and letting them oft until I began to think we should never reach the bridge at all. My trip seemed like billiards, as I have seen city fellers play, the game, “no bridge in It.” Presently I found myself just where I started from, and then. I was mad., I asked the conductor if he couldn’t drive me any nearer to the bridge than that, but, pulling down a corner of his eye, he said he couldn’t see the drive. I concluded to walk. Asked astranger, “You haven’t seep^anything of a big bridge around here, have you?” Told him I was looking right sharp for one. He colored angrily, evidently supposing that I wanted to make sport of him, and said, “Young man, there is one bridge you want to look right sharp for.” “What bridge is that?” said I inno cently. “The bridge of pour nose. ’ ’ He let fly at me, but I eluded the blow intended for my nose (I can blow my own nose, thank ye). lam not much of a fighter, but as an “eluder” I havn’t met my equal—at least, not until I went in search of the big bridge, which eluded me for a long time. At length, however, after wandering about for several hours without knowing where I was going,* I happened to blun der into the right direction, and the ma jestic structure buret upon my view in all its grandeur and beauty. At first I was struck dumb with amazement. Then I was struck by an omnibus pole. I mounted a cart, so as to be out of the ■way, and contemplated.the work. “What a wiry old fellow,” thought I: “and what sublime confidence he places in Masonry, enough to convince any one of the stability of everything Masonic.” I shuddered to thing what a catastro phe it would be if some day, when loaded with people thebig bridge should “bust” his suspenders. I walked around to the entrance to the bridge, and was about to mount when a man said I mounlent without an order from the Supe4ntendent. I asked him where the Superintendent was, and he said he was on the other side of the bridge. If I got an order from him I could cross. “Very well,” said I; “I will just step across the bridge and Arid him, and if he says I can’t cross, I will come right back again.” Strange as it may seem, the proposi tion was rejected, and I had to go over on a ferry boat. The superintendent had just left for the Ohio side. I insisted on going oyer the bridge, as the super intendent must have passed me coming over. I was allowed to do so. Every courtesy was extended to me on the trip, one man spatting me with tar, another daubing me (accidentally of course) with white paint, and another nearly pitching me overboard by run ning against me. I gathered a number of facts concern ing the bridge that will be of great in terest to your readers. The exact length of the bridge I did not ascertain, but I am informed that it reaches from the Ohio to the Kentucky shore. Its height from the water varies according to the depth of the water. During high water a man’ could easily jump down from any part of it.- It is supported by cables of wire at present, but after it has been open for travel a spellit is expected to become self-supporting. They would not have made the, cables so large, only it was necessary to do so in order to hold those immense stone towers up. The bridge is very firm-1 sprang on it in the centre with all my might, and it did ’ not shake enough to be noticed much It shook me a good deal; i though, All> the wood work of the bridge Is iron. The public are ex pec to observe the following: RULES. • Mo one allowed' to run across the bridge faster than a walk. Street cars are excepted,however. They can run all day all all night. _ Boys will not be allowed to drive off the bridge in the day time. _ Street sprinklers will settle the dust. Passengers, who havn’t dust enough to settle will, not be admitted on the bridge. . Any inattention on the parts of the towers should be reported at once to the proper officers, and if proven they will be promptly discharged. Any onecaught carrying off one of the main cables,will be prosecuted to the ex tent of thelaw. People will not be admitted upon the bridge any faster than toll can be col lected of them. This rule is imperative. Foot pads and garroters are respect fully requested not to cross the bridge under any circumstances. ; An Extensive Swamp.— Says the Meadville (Pa.) llepublican, speaking of Pymatuning Swamp: It heads in West Fallowfield Town ship, Crawford county, Pa., and runs its tortuous length through North Shenan go, Sadsbury, and Pine Townships; into Ashtabula county, Ohio—some twenty five miles in length. A sluggish chan nel passes through it, into which a pole can be thrust down fifteen to twenty five feet,andin some places even farther. It is covered with a dense growth of hemlock,tainarac,and alder interspersed with an occasions spot of a few acres entirely free from trees or bushes, which is thickly covered with a luxuriant growth of wild grass which the farmers in the immediate vicinity, when the hay crop is light, harvest as a substitute. It is frequented by raccoons, mink, mask rat, foxes and turkey; and but a few yeara ago deer were found there. It is reported that a bear was seen a few days ago near Samuel Gehr’s, on the edge of the swamp.. Bruin, however,soon made tracks for the alders; and now each day “signs of bear” are looked for with in terest. Generally in spring and autumn an in numerable host of pigeons make this place a roosting spot. Then everybody is on the qui vive to go pigeon-hunting, They are hunted at night either by go ing into the bushes, with a sack across the shoulder,and picking them from the roost, which cannot be done unless it is a very dark night, or by shooting them, which is generally preferred. The hun ters build a large fire on the bank, and one or two men will stay there, and keep up the fire and blow the horn to di rect the hunters from the swamp when their sacks are full. Two go in together, one carrying lantern and sack, the other a gun. The gunner shoots, tne lamp is lighted, game picked up and gun loaded —then the light' is extinguished again to prevent frightening the rest of the pigeons. The roar of the pigeons—for they are flying and singing ali night— can be heard for miles; and the sound of the horns and roar of musketry remind one of the advance guard of aninvading army. Exhalations of Plants Producing Fever and Ague.— The Journal de Medicin dc Bruxelles contains a letter from Dr. Hannon, Professor of Botany in the University of Brussels, confirm ing the.views recently promulgated by Dr. Salisbury on the cyptogamic origin of marsh or intermittent fevers, but stating that the facts mentioned by the distinguished English physician had long been recognized in Belgium. “In 1843,” says Dr. Hannon, “I studied at the University of Lifege. Professor Charles Morsen had created in me such an amount of enthusiasm in the study of the physiology of the fresh water alga;, that the windows and mantelpiece of my chamber were encumbered with plates filled with Vaucheria Ascillatoria and conferva;. My preceptor said to me, ‘Take care at the period of their fructi fication, for the spores of the alga; give intermittent fever. I have had it every time I have studied them too closely.’ As I cultivated my algae in pure water, and not in the water of the marsh where I had gathered them, I did not attach any importance to his remark. I suf fered for my carelessness a month later, at the period of their fructification. I was taken with shivering; my teeth chattered; I had the fever, which lasted six weeks.” ' ,„ _ Coal Statement. . Tne following la the amount of coal transported nvav From Bt.
