■ 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

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,

passenger, Mexico;- W. H. Brooks and Gil
bert Smith, seamen; James Wise, steward;
Frank, landsman; fifteen in all, who have
not been heard from.
Mate’s boat, saved—Robert Pickens, first
mate. Charles Fry, second mate; James Col
ter, ship’s cook; W. Brown, seaman; Thomas
Dufiy, mess boy; Thomas Martin, coal
heaver; J. W. Adams, second cook.
Engineer’s boat, saved—Henry Mahley,
chief engineer; W. H. Crawford, first assis
tant engineer; J. Fred. Shultz, supercargo;
George Kirk, oiler; Hugh Simpson, fire
man; Thomas McGlanghton, fireman; .John
Norman, seaman; Henry Boston, mess boy.

We Engage a New Reporter-lie Roea In

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.”
