litteragt Gaidte PopularXeeling in tbo New Dominion, MONTREAL, August 4.—Traveling from Montreal east to Quebec, and south of the boundary line, I have at length had what I have long earnestly desired, an opportunity of thoroughly inquiring into the feeling existing throughout the Low er Provinces in respect to' the great ques tions of the day s annexation and inde pendence.• Where independence is ad vocated, that is to say everywhere it meets scarcely an opposing voice; where annexation is urged it is rarely rejected as a possible event, and by a very large class, and probably the best class pf farm ing people, openly adopted. Ins jour ney .which occupied twelve days, and during which my attention was ,Iparticu larly directed to eliciting public feeling . on these matters among all classes of people, particularly French Canadians,li I only heard two persons take up the ; cudgels against annexation, and not one against •independence. I find a wide-spread feeling of extreme loyalty to the British Government, and firth deter mination expressed that no war tilual ever bring Canada into the Union, all I have heard seeming to ridicule the Idea of a war or of Canada taking any side bat that ot. the "Old. Country" in the event of so lamentable a contestoccuring. Itut, on the other hand, there-seems to be a universal belief in the incapacity of their Federal Government, in quick-coming bankruptcy under the existing order of affairs, and the absolute necessity for a political change, 'the. only difference of opinion being the choice between inde pendence and annexation. I have talked to .men with their thousands of dollars yearly income, and men who earn a mere llving by the sweat of their brow, and the singleness of feeling existing, if their words are to be believed, is unquestion able. They say, in fact, "Let us have in dependence, and then, it the people want annexation and vote for it, why we don't see much objection to it." In Lower Canada, that is the univer sal political profession, and the elections of 1870 will see the truth of this tested at the hustings. At Rich mond, a crowing and impcirhun _railway and agricultural centre, skirting the Grand Trunk east to Quebec, and south - to the boundary line, calling at Windsor, Brompton, Ulverton, Drummondvi le, Lennoxville, Waterville, Compton Co aticook, Norton, Batley and Sta stead, and throughout the important connty of Missisisquoi, I found the residents almost wholly English speaking, With a large sprinkling of folk from the'New England States; and it is singularly true of these last, they appear in almbst all cases as at tached to Canada and as loyal as any in the land to the gOverning country, while desiring a political severance, in the be lief that it will/prove beneficial to both Great Britain/and the Dominion. Falblonathe Bathing Costume toi La. / dies. A / 14ineess is about to repair to Dieppe on her return from her estate. She has • convoked, before her departure from /Paris, assembly of 'all the reigning / beauties of the great world of fashion— the eoeodettee . , whose caprice is the only real power lett—and she and all have de termined to reject the horrible costume hitherto worn for bathing in the sea, and to substitute therefor another more 'consistent with elegance and grace. "What need is there," said the Prin cess, "to attire us like mummies just dry from the Pyramids or like packages bound in tarpaulin to be sent by railway? .Let us have something better calculated tp show the figure to advantage, while re taaining equally decent and modest. We have decided on forming a swimming club, and as the uniform will be of the same shape and make for- us all, let it be made to favor me in particular." The re sult we are enabled to give. "Some thing tight and short, not lower than the knee, and clasping the figure with equal dace and'"firmness—something between the ruuning costume of our French jock eys and your English prize fighters!" The Club has been organized a:ready, to be presided over by the Princess, and giving a detail of the conditions of admis sion and•costume; the latter to be com posed of a i'vetement" of stout white merino, close fitting to • the shape, and bound at the knees with scarlet ribbons, a scarlet sash round the waist, and a scarlet ruche round the neck; short sleeves, looped with scarlet bows, and a casquette of the same material as the "velement," with a scarlet pe.tk. And so the Swimming Club is organized, and will be set to work as soon as the Princess returns. Already has a house been secured at Dieppe, where the meetings will be held, and already have the coeodes of Paris agreed to be present at the first trial of skill to be made by the fair members. Husbands and brothers all ldok grave and glum at the prospect of the anticipated ovation to be bestowed on this occasion, but we all know how unjust and tyran nical `these connections always are in • every .o.ountry.—Paris Letter to. the Lon don Court Journal. Silk Manufacture and Culture. The growth of the silk manufacture in the Unitsd States must soon compel ex tensive silk culture in this country. The manufacture of sewing silk in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut has already nearly driven the French and Italian threads from the market. Hartford, Mansfield and Manchester, in Connecti cat, Holxiken and Patterson, in New Jersey, and Troy, Yonkers, and 'New York city; in-New York, are the-seats of extensive sewing silk factories and in Manchester, Connecticut, in iatterson, New Jersey, and in, one or two other places, silk ribbons are now made which are nearly as good as the best foreign articles, and. it is said, cheaper. It is stated that there are fifty establishments in New York city engaged in the manu facture of silk in its various stages, though •the most or these - factories are quite snail; The oldest and largest es tablishment in the country is in Man chester, Wnnecticut. It employs , one thousand bands, and isnow making dress silks and other wide gciods, as well as thread and ribbons. Tne establishnient of largecoroneries not only , in Califor nia, but in he South, will soon become a profitableihnsiness. - - TITLE Windsor and A.nnapOlis Railway, in Nova Scotia., traverses the, scene of Longfellow's "Evangeline." The loco motives on the road, which is now nearly finished, are named, in honor of the char acterkin this and others of Langtellow's Poems, the "Gabriel," the."Gaspere.au," the "Evangeline," the. "Hiawatha". and the "Miknetudia.'! IMRE CUPPINOL A. NEW pulpit of Lebanon cedar and olive wood was dedicated...at the Congre gational church at Amheist, Massacha setts. The t wood was a gift from Rev. Mr. Bliss, President of the Missionary College at Beirut, Syria, and is supposed to be fully two thousand years old. THE N. ,Y. Express announces the sus pension of the eminent dry goods com mission house of Bowen, Beekman & Co., in consequence of the steady decline in woolens. Liabilities estimated at threb millions; assets large. A Boston capital ist is said to have offered to - advance all the money necessary to carry the house through for a year, but it was decided to suspend and ask extension. A STRATIIH of genuine porcelain clay has been discovered, in McMinn county, fifteen miles southwest of Alberni, Ten nessee. It was struck at the depth of about twenty•five feet below the surface, with a depth of forty or fifty feet, clear from all sand or rock, or otherimpurities, solid and compact, 'the upper portion white, the lowerten or fifteen feet highly variegated with yellow and red. DELERIUM TRE3IEISIB is generally sup posed to be confined almost exclusively to excessive consumers of ardent' spirits. Cases are not wanting, however, to show that light wines and tobacco, when used immoderately, will'• occasion the disease. In St Louis, Michael Wigad, aged 38, died of apop:exy, after suffering from the usual symptoms of delerium tremens, and ale is supposed to have been the direct cause of his death. THE lluvALL's BLIIFF (Arkansas) Journal, of the 4th inst., says: "4. ru mor came over on the train, yea day, to the effect that some two hundred thous and dollars in gold, and spine twenty five thousand in Confederate treasury warrants had been found buried in the State House grounds aythe Rock. 'A ne gro is said to have given the information and to have immediately disappeared. It is said to have heen buried in Treasurer Cunningham'a , adminbstration. THE total4ool production of the world is 1,772,30,000 pounds annually.

A Yorrstolady in New Haven, sixteen years of age, recently met with the total loss of one eye and the serious injury of the other. She had placed a bottle of am monia in warm water, with the object of loosening the cork. Being heated the natural expansion suddenly' forced the cork and liquid from the bottle, the latter full in her face. The powerful medicine penetrated the eyes, causing intense pain and fearful discoloration. Skilful surgery has saved one eye, but the other is en tirely gone. AT Saratoga there is a great deal of dress, which means an abundance of vul garity. The "bend" is now carried to ridiculous extremes, and the bustles are worn higher andglaiger than last sum mer, when a caricaturist made a woman's outline take the shape of a dromedary. But this is not the most noticeable feature of the fashionable toilets; shoes with heels that necessarily incline , the wearers for ward enable her to elevate her hips un naturally behind,- and obtain the _artistic position. How insane for women wish ing to wear the panier to disease them selves with a bustle, contracted stomach, strained chest, outthrust head and a ten pound chignon. ALEXANDER Slyiiiox, an old man, sixty-four years °rage, was shot in the ab domen on Thursday night, at Port Jervis, New York, by a pedler named Warren Fellows, who had been remonstrated with because of some indecency committed by him and a companion in front of a hard ware store with which Mr, Swinton was connected. The latter died in a few min utes. David Swinton, his son, on hear ing that his father was shot, seized a hatchet and sprang at the murderer, when Fellows raised his revolver to shoot him; but young Swinton wrenched it from his hands, and dealt two blows on his head, crushing,in the skull so that his death was expected. Fellows was intoxicated. •_THE Ecumenical Council summoned to meet at Rome, in December, will, it ap pears, take into consideration, among other things, church music. The prelim inary committee, which is already at work, has bad three reports sent in rela tion to the notation of plain chant. It wants to amalgamate the seven different editions in one only, which would then be obligatory for every church. M. Said•d' Arod wishes the library of the Vatican to be searched for the manuscript of Palestrina, which is preserved there, and which he would have republished ex actly as it is. It dates from 1600; it is the first with a regular notation, and no doubt, more in keeping than amp Other with the traditions of the primitive church. Tun Orange (N. J.) Chronicle, wilting of Spiritualism, says the "my sterious rap pings proceed from the sub-derangement and hyper•effervescence of small conical glandular bodies situated heterogeneously in the rotundnm of the inferior acephalo cists, which, by coming in unconscious contact with the etherization of the five superior rocesses of the dorsal vertebra, also results in 'tippings,' by giving rise to spontaneous combustions with certain abnormal evacuations of echinorhyncus bicornis, situated in various abdominal orifices. The raps occur from the ebulli tions of the former in certain tempera mental structures, and the tips from the thoracic cartilllneons ducts, whenever their contents are compressed by cerebral inclination." AN 'Box Cylinder Stove, without any grate, and which consumes Its own smoke, has recently been patented in Bavariii. In this the air required in the combushen of the fuel, is introduced through a system of holes two or three inches in diameter just above the bottom. Seven or eight inches above these \ are attached the same. number of tubes of equal width, which are brought to a red heat in the stove, and conduct he we d air into the flame charged with tbe p roducts of combustion. The draught chimney draws the air through these tubes with greater or less intensity, and it enters trom all directions into the stove withlconsiderable rapidity. The flames are thus mixed together and the gases brought into contact, and the cur rent is sufficiently Strong to prevent any of the products of Combustion from esca ping into the roorn. Owing to the per fect combustion of the fuel only a com paratively small 4uatitity .is• required. while the room is Comfortably heated and well ventilated at the same time. 11 , PITTWIRWEI Sr e tZgrrg s :,, Ult§p4.7,, AUGUST 12, 1869. 77- IMXJ=qMTIOPEC .
