From anotherof Mr. ROBERT BECITAX
, .
ex's fetters in the Cincinnati Gazette, we
gather ;Some interesting • •reminiscences,
which illt?strate the progress Of* e ioeople
-
in the matter* clothing themsesycs;.-„, He
`writes: , •
"When I first went to business • at-Pittit
burgh, in 1811, our principle ,eivraiii
cotton goods were from Nnglind. The
coerce-muslin were made in India, and
furnished through — the East India Com
pany. They were sold cheap, but were
- of poor quality, arid invoiced under •the
Hindoo names of Bafitths, Sannahs, How
' sannahs, /Arnhem, Jcalfporei; ,
The prices ranged from 25 to 40 cents a
yard, and higher during the war. In 1810
there were but fifteen cotton factories In
the United States, and the cotton crop
was only-212,000 bales. Ffty years later
this crop was 4,670,000 bales; cotton fac
tories had been erected all over the Union,
and sheetings sold at 8 cents nyard that
would have readily brought 75 cents dur
. ing the war or previous, but they could
• not then be made. ,
• For many years past we have exported
, cotton goods. to India and China at •a
profit. What a triumph for American
manufacturesl -
During the war with England cotton
factories multiplied rapidly. The ship
ping interest of New England was badly
cut up, and the energies of its industrious
lieopie were directed to manufacturing ;
we aeon' began to receive •in the West
supplies of "domestic" cotton goods, as
they were then called, comprising tick
ing, drilling, shirting, sheeting and
checks, of various qualities and prices.
- Bed ticking seventy-five to ninety centaa
yard, shirtings fifty to seventy-five -cents,
&c. After the peace of 1815, of course
prices declined; but as late as 1817, upon
referring to our invoices, I find "domes
tic 'shirting" charged at thirty to fifty
-cents; calicoes, thirty, to thirty-five cents
for the best,- by , •wholesale, in Philadel- '
phla. East India minslins' had also de
clined. Baths, twenty-seven - cents ,
Sannahs,' twenty-one cents, and tent
pores twenty-one cents per yard. Add
• to the above rates the difference of ex
change, three to five per cent.; hauling
over the mountains, seven ir eight cents
a poundi with the profit of the retail mer
chant, and some idea may -be formed of
the cost to the Western consumer.
At—that period, . however, the farmers
bought but little in the way of cotton
goods, except, calicoes; they preferred to
make their own clothing at home from
- flax and wool. Those were the palmy
days of the spinning wheel and its cheer
ful MUSIC was -heard it every house.
- Country flax and tow linen, linseys,
flannels, and coarse woolen cloth was the
product of almost every , farm house, and
the surplus not wanted at home was bar
tered at the stores for such. goods as the
family wants required.
Flax linen-600 to 700—bleached, was
worth 60 to 75 cents a yard. Tow linen,
unbleathed 15 to 20 cents. Linsey, 75 to
87 cents, and coarse country flannel $1 00
. a yard. Within ten years later, prices
- declined one-third from these rates. As '
cotton goods became cheaper, and the
products of the farms brought - better
prices, the cultivation of flax was neg
lected, or rather gave way to more profit
able crops, and the domestic spinning
wheels were silenced by the machinery of
the cotton factories.
- This has been a wonderful relief to the
females of our agriculturists, for few can
^ imagine the toil in making linen garments
in the "good old times, ' , as we fondly
call them. The flax had to be pulled at
maturity, spread, rotted, broken, scutched,
hackled, spun, wove, and the web bleach
ed before it was ready for the shears and
needle; and in each process—except break
-
ing ad scutching—the women took
the
principal labor. No wonder the old
Scotch woman complained, of this
-drudgery in her "Song of the Shirt" a
l' - hundred years before Hood's famous song
was written. One verse may serve as a
specimen :
“To make our good man a new sari I'm tolling
awe',
And weary wi' the spinning o' it.
'Twee a far better world when there were na
Barks at a',
And that wet{ at the beginning o'
For many pearl pakt flax has only been
grown in the West for the seed to supply
;the linseed oil mills. The lint was not
raised until latterly. It is now cut by the
mowing machine—dressed by machinery,
-and made into bagging and bale rope for
baling cotton—a pretty good substitute
for hemp. Smile of 'the -tow is "used to
mix with cotton in making colored wad
ding. Many experiments have been
made with ingenious machinery to
shorten the fiber, bleach it, and make
what has been termed "flax cotton," but
it is'not adhesive enough to be spud by
- any spindles yet invented. Nor would it
be profitable when cotton is cheap
The conversion of wool into domestic
•clothing was not so laborious to the
portion of the household as flax.
The shearing and washing, and some
times the weaving, was done by the men
—the carding, spinning and dyeing by
the women. The "big wheel" was a
very efficient machine, and did its work ,
rapidly. This branch of home industry
is still conducted to a large extent over
the West. to make jeans and Unser,
using cotton warp. '

Ex-PSurainn.sx JoinrsoN reached his
old home in Greenville, Tennessee, last
week. The reception addresses were de
livered by Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, James
Britton and Major E. Henry; Colonel
Nelson having alluded to his administra
tion of the Government, Mr. Johnson
said, in reply, that his administration had
. been stormy and tempestuous because he
had been battling in behalf of ,the Con
stitution warding off the assaults of men
who admitted they were acting outside
the Constitution- He was, to-day, a free
man—freed from the bondage of the ad
ministration of the Government under a
violated Constitution. Congress, be said,
was a body of usurpers. He reviewed
his political life, and reminded his hearers
that the first office he ever held was that of
Alderman of their city. The substance
`of his Baltimore speech and of his fare
well address was repeated. "He said noth
ing foreshadowing the part he would take
hereafter in the politica 01 the State. He
said that he had laid aside his official
robes and would remain a private citizen.
He will visit Knoxville and Nashville in
a few days, when his future course will
be developed.
A Lima seven year older living in
Waterford, Saratoga county, taking pat
tern of his father stoutly avowed himself
a Democrat. His grandfather, who is a
Republican, promised him a pony and
carriage if he would desert his colors and
declare himself a Republican. The nest
morning at breakfast Freddy looked very
grave and was uncommunicative. After
a brief meal he arose and went into the
kitchen, where Bridget was at work.
Resting his head upon his hands, he in
dulged in deep meditation for a moment;
then suddenly looking up he asked:
"Bridget, do you know. what I am ?"
"No," said the girl. "Well, I will tell
you," said he; "I am a darned old cop
perhead." "What ?" ;said Bridget. "I
tell you I am a darned old copperhead,
the meanest kind of a Democrat.' This
settled the case, and Freddy clings to his
party at the sacrifice of a pony and a car
riage.
THE New York Sun remarks: "Some
benevolent but weak•mind:d people are
pressing Congress to enact that female
employes of the Government shall be paid
the same wages as is paid to males for the
same kind of work. At first sight this
seems a very reasonable request, but it
must be remembered that Congress, like
all the other agents of the nation, is 'un
der a moral obligation to get the nation's
work done at the lowest market rate of
compensation; and if the rate of women's
labor is less than it is for men's, all paid
beyond it is so much given away for noth
ing. We bad better get rid of our debts
before we begin to make presents either
to women or men out of the people's
money." •
COUNT DS MATARTIE, a relative of
Bismarck, and'a Hanoverian colonel, are
the heroes of the latest French duel: The
quarrel arose from some remarks which
the latter made concerning the Prussian
Prime Minister, and a trip was made be
yond the Belgian frontier, where the ddli- -
culty was settled with pistols. The Han
overian was struck In the ear and stun
ned for a time, while the other was struck
in the left breast. The ball struck a cigar
- case, which turned it, and it glanced.en
tizely around:the count's body, finally de
positing • itself in his - right•hand waist
coat pocket, where Itwas bon trovato,,like
the story. .

ECONOIIY BUTTER CO.
ask the attention of all interested In the reduc
tion of the extravagant cost of Butter, to their
practical and economical system of making pure
prime Butter by the aid of the
EXTRACT OF BUTTER, PLANT.
A brief allusion to the origin of this important
discovery may rot prove uninteresting. Among
the authenticated records of the renowned-Cap
tain Cook's voyage around the world, is found
the statement, that while solourning fora short
time on the Brazilian Coast of South America, he
observed the natives using, in the preparation of
their food, a peculiar oil, which, upon exanuna,-
tion, he found to possess the appearance, taste
and flavorcif Butter; upon turtheilnquiry, how
. ever, he ascertained that it was simply a sub
stance that the natives distilled in a crude and
imperfect manner, from a rich and luxurian t
plant that grew spontaneously and abundantly fa
that warm tropical country. -A few )c...e
an eminent French chemist, while on a pr vi
sional visit to the tropics, made numerous exper
iments with this remarkable production of us.
tare, and succeeded in extracting a concentrated
essence Of the plant. The formula tor its preps.
ration, and the Sole Bight for its sale in this
country are the exclusive property of this'Com
pimp, by whom it was purchased from the.ortgl
nal discoverer. We claim for this remarkable,
yet simple and perfectly Larailess preparation—
lta.—That by its use a net gala of from 50 to 200 -
per cent. is made in the manufacture of Butter.
fid.—That Butte; which from age or whatever
cause, may be strong, rancid, streaked or
coarse-grained, and comparatively useless for
general use, by the aid of this Extract, 'ls re
stored Lofts original freshness and sweetness,
line.grain, and even color.
3d.—By the use of this Extruct, one pound of
delicious, fresh Butter' is actually midi) rum
one pint of milk.,
4th.—That a pure and exceth nt table Butter can
be made. at a cost of from 1 to 1U a nta pet
pound. The chief expellee wherein belnarßut
ten, which is the essential base.
sth.—That Sutter manufactured b• the -aid of
this Extract is equal.in every resnect to the best
Butter made by the ordinary method.
6th.— The Extract alter thorough analysts, by
able chemists, Is pronounced perfectly free rmia
any doeterions substance. the :Ingredients be.
purely of a vegetable nature.
