TIONESTA, PA., DEI.CATB TEXTILE FABKU'!. Those who have read that charming romance by Sir Walter Scott, "The Talisman," cannot fail to remember the vivid pictures which he gives us of the state of the arts among tho Sara cens, and of the high degree of per fection which they Lave attained in some of its branches. In the scionce of medicine it is claimed they had at tained a degree of knowledge and skill which put to fhame the efforts of their radre clumsy and ignorant Western contemporaries. In the manufacture of dolicato tmtile fabrics, they had certainly reached a wonderful degree of perfection ; for we know from other testimony besides that of Scott, that their fine gauie veils were so delicate and bo perfect, that while they did not ia the slightest degree obscure tho clearness of vision of the wearers, they completely excluded the Cue dust of the 'desert, which is so annoying to travelers, and withal so penetrating that the most closely wrapped pack ages are not proof against it. These veils were so delicate and !igU, that when skillfully thrown in the air, they floated olF as if posscsed of no mere weight than thistle-down. And yet such was the perfection to which these same people had brought the art of sword making, that Scott represents Salad ia as throwing such a veil in the air, and dividing it in two with the stioko of his cimiter, tho separate pieces floHling off in difluront direc tions. With the same weapon ho is to have cut in two a light feather pillow, leaving the separate halves standing upright, as if they had remained un touched. Although these facts find a distant record only in the pages of romance, they are said to be fully vouched for by contemporary historians, and so far at least as delicate fabrics are con cerned, they are almost equaled by the spindles and looms of llindostan. The Indian weaver, working in moist and underground apartments, not only secures for the material in which he works those conditions which are nec essary for the production of the most delicate fabrics, but attains in his own person that morbidly Sensitive nervous condition which confers upon him the delicate tactile power capable of pro ducing a fabrio which from its exceed ing delicacy has been called "woven wind." Samples of these fabrics were exhibited at the World's Fair in 1851 j and so fine were they that a whole piece when folded to tho full width could be drawn through an ordinary sized wedding ring. Even by ma chinery, the most wonderful results havo been attained ; although it must be confessed that the bent looms of Manchester have not been able to equal the work of the native East In dian operative. A single pound of cotton Las been spun into yarn that measured over two hundred miles a degree of tenuity, which almost rivals that attained by the most ductile met als. But by far the most wonderful at tempts to rival the work of these East ern artists was that made by an officer of engineers redding iu Munich, who conceived the ingenious idea of em ploying the caterpillar itself, not only as the spinner but the weaver. Hav ing made a paste of the plant of which the species of catterpillar that he em ploys feeds, he spreads its thinly over a stone, or other flat surface of the re quired size. He then, with a camel hair pencil dipped in olive oil, draws the pattern he wishes to leave open. This stone is then placed in an inclined position, and a considerable number of tho caterpillars are placed at the bottom. A peculiar species is chosen which spins a strong web ; and the anupals commence at the bottom, eating and spinning their way to the top, carfully avoiding every part touch ed by the oil, but devour ng every oth er part of the paste. The extreme lightness of these veils, combined with some strength, is truly surprising. Way down South, in the days bo fore tho. names of Hoe and Bullock had become household words, a paper was printed on a Ham age machine, by an old colored pressman named Sara. The forms were always placed on the preas and made ready for him; anj so, with a well-trained roller boy, the working of the paper progressed satis factorily. But it happened one day that Sam, who could not read, whs throwu entirely on his resources. He put the form to press and pulled a fcheet; looked at it intently ; turned it over; something was the matter; he looked again, felt the tympau, held it up to the light, and looked over his spectacles at the grinning roller boy, exclaimed, "Look heab, boy, why fore yer don't 'stribit yer rollah T" The form was bottom up 1 All ways of earning his bread are alike becoming to an honest roan, whether it be to split wood or sit at the helm t f state. It does not concern his conscience how useful Jie is. or how use I'u 1 ho would bo. f IPMCflM SEPTEMBPR 3. 1873. A FRONTIER EDITOR. A Bismark, Dakota Territory, "co respondent writes: I was escorted around Bismark the evening of my ar rival by Mr. Lounsberry, the editor of the Bismarck Tribune. He had been a Colonel in the army and was full of bullet wounds, and he had volnntari ally left a good position on the Minne apolis Tribune aiid puts his little pile of savings into a newspaper venture at this lonely settlement, nearly twelve hundred miles northwest of Chicago. He showed me, with pride, his oflice arising under the hammers of the car ponters, and his press and fonts of type; and the compositors he had paid to come with him more than six hundred miles from St. Paul. Said I: "What did'all this cost youT" "Four thousand dollars before I shall issue a number of my paper." "Don't you feel a little nexvous about the prospect here?" "Well," said Lounsberry, "I have studied it all. There is bouud to be a large town at the Missouri river cross ing, and I have some year left and can wait," "Dil the railroad give you an help?" "Only transportation." "Weil," thought I to myself, "if such a chap as this tries such a hope, I won't drive a nail iu his cross." Go on, Lounsberry, and may the world grow up around you and sub scribers be plentiful. Ihere is some thing in this northern country when there are suoh game fellows to begin with. It was even touching to see this most banished of all newspaper men who must have loved society like all our tribe acquainted already with everv male being in Bismark, and looking on all with equal charily and consideration, as they seemed to be proud and tender with him. "Advertise?" said Shaw, the leading merchant; "yes, sir! Advertising is the life of business." A little town needs to keep the edi tor up to his work ; for, Lord bless us, we expect a heap of comfort out of that newspaper of his'n."' "Come in-, Lounsberry," said Ed. Martin, the great gambler whose place was full of sweat cloths and faro box es a mighty plank shanty, lined with tables of chance "and is this Georgo Alford? We all know him. Gentle men, anything in the house is yours. This newspaper is a tech of nater that makes the whole world kin." So did Mr. Sbang, the gambler, who had killed his man, show some mysteri ous tenderness for the institutions of society moving up, and his loud, bully ing voice was brought down to a con ventional tone as he addressed us. Here where there was no law of any description Dakota having made no provision for a county government at this distant point the coming news paper seemed to strike American hu man nature, and give it the attach ments of society, and a certain pining for authority and protection among the worst classes. All around about the little hutted city the vast plains of grass extended to the sky, and the stars seemed wide apart in the enor mous Armament as they looked wide open downward upon the preposterous town. But there was not a trader in Bismark who did pot look as saucily back, and say, "By Gad 1 old blinkers up there, you'll get used to us after awhile; we've come to stay," The Flushing, Long Island Times tells this: The wife of a prominent judge in this county, while riding home by rail recently, was approached by the conductor for her ticket. With out looking up from the pages of the book in which she was absorbed she thrust her hand into her pocket and handed him what she supposed to be a ticket. .In a moment or two she be came conscious that he was still stand ing by her side, .and looking up she beheld, to her infinite motiiication and tho do small amusement of the pass engers, the conductor gazing with the utmost disgust upon a flue-tooth comb ! It was remarked by the passengers that the scenery along the route was remarkably fusoiiiating to Mrs. Judge the remainder of the journey. An experienced husband in Lafay ette sent two switches home to his wife, from which she was to make a selec tion, but before doing it he changed the tags, putting the $25 one on the $10 switch, and vice versa. After a critical examination by herself and lady friends, the choice fell upon the one labeled $25, and she decided to keep it, notwithstanding her hutbaud's plaintive protest that he could Dot af ford to pay more than $10 for such an article. After Mr. Cusey had finished read ing the "Declaration," on the Fourth, at Mound City, Illinois, a man rose and moved that the speech be pub lished, as it was one of tho best speech es ho Imd ever ' hecra in (us lilo, ft $2 PER ANNUM. DIFFERENT STYLE) OF DAM INU. The fashion of dancing is not at ail cosmopolite not even national. In Saratoga tho different styles make a medley. If you see a 200 pound man and wo man perspiring around with their pompons bodies tossed lightly aud springily in air, arms swaying, keep ing good timo, and making grand Pcrisian salaams for a bow in the Lancers, you can set them down as be longing to theoldTweed-Fisk-Leland-Americus Club school. If you see two heated young people tripping fast away ahead of the music, taking Bhort steps, and jerking thiough a square danee as if the house was on fire and the set must be completed be fore any one could take to the fire-es-enpes, you can set them down as from the plantation districts of-the South or the rural districts of Pensylvania and the West. It is the steamboat quickstep. If you see a black-eyed youth with long hair, and a young lady with liquid black eyes, and she has her two hands on the young man's shoulders at full length, and Bhe stands directly in front of him, and they both go hop ping around like Siamese twius with wire springs under them, you can ' wa ger they are from Louisville, Memphis, or Little Rock. They have the squaie toed wrestling step. If you see a young fellow grasp a young lady firmly around the waist, seize her wrist, stick her hand out like the bowsprit of a Sound yacht, and both hump up their backs like a pair of mad cats on a door-yard fence, and then go sliding slam-bang against peo ple, over people, through people, up aud down the room, sidewise, back ward, and up and down like a saw mill gate, you can bet on them having learned their dancing from the Morris town, Riverdale, and Yorkers' socia bles. It is the suburban New York saw-mill jump-up. If you see a couple sliding gently and slowly and lazily through the Lan cers, just half as fust as the time, but keeping step with the music, quietly sauntering through the "grand chain, too languid to whirl partners, talking sweetly all the time, as if they were strolling in a graveyard, you can rest assured that they are from New York, and from the most fashionable section between Madison square and the Park. This is the graveyard saunter step. If you see a fellow clasp a girl melt ingly in his arms, squeeze her ljand warmly, hold her swelling bosom to his, and they both go floating down the room locked in each other's em brace, looking like one person, his feet ouly cow and then protruding from a profusion of illusion and lace and so on, rely upon it you can set the two down as belonging to the intense Boston school. It is the meltincr Harvard jacket-race embrace. Massachusetts, take our bat! Eli Perkins. A DESPICABLE SI CLE. """""" The negro and mule, writes a friend in Clinton Louisiana, are inseparable companions in the Southern cotton fields, and like the Hiawatban string and bow,U3eless each without the other. The lazy indifference and careless cru elty of the one, and wonderful powers of endurauce of severe labor, bad treatment and neglect of the other, complete the compatibility of the two races necessary for the production of four millions of bales. A characteris tic anecdote may be relished by those who have had experience of the two. The spectator had taken refuge from the suu's perpendicular rays under the shade of a spreading beach, tub teg- miuejagi, anu lay recumoent, enjoying the fitful breezes and the sombre frothi dess of the country newspaper, Along the dusty road which passed by this retreat came joggiug a negro, mounted on a mule, both apparently asleep. As the somnoleut pair approached the spot, some wicked spirit of the place gave the paper a flirt, which no sooner seen and heard than the mule, as mules only know hew. instantly "swapped ends" and leaving the negro sprawling in the dirt, took his depart ure under tun sail. lhe negro, half raising nimseif ana wiping the dust irom ms eyes ana moutn, watched the retreating mule for some time ia si lence, but at length, unconscious of an .auditor gave expression to this philosophic soliloquy : wa wuat mas.es me spise a mule!"

A WICKED BOYi, They say that the chief astronomer at the Washington Observatory was, dreadfully sold a few days ago. A, wicked boy, whose Sunday school ex--perience seems only to have made him, more depraved, caught a fire-fly, and stuck it, with the aid of some mucl lego, in the centro of the largest lens in the telescope. That night, when the "stronomer went lo work, he per ceived a blaze of lipht annearnntlv in lhe heavens, and what amazed him more was that it would give a couple of spurts and then die out, only to burst forth in a second or two. lie examined it carefully for a few mo ments, and then began to do suras to discover where in the beaveqs thatex traordinary star was placed. He thought he found the locality, and the next morning he telgraphed all over the universe that he had discovered a new and remarkable Btar of the third magnitude in Orion. In a day or two all the astronomers in Europe and America were studying Orion, and they gazed at it for hours until they got mad, aud then began to telegraph to tho man in Washington to know what he meant. The discoverer took another look and found that tho new star had moved about oighteen billion, miles in twenty-four hours, and upon examining it closely was alarmed to perceive that it had legsl When he went on the dome, the next morning, to polish his glass, he found the light ning bug. People down at Alexndria, seven miles distant, heard part of the swearing, and they say he infused into it. much whole-souled sincerity and vigorous energy. The bills for teler. graph dispatches amounted to $2,600, and now-the astronomer wants to find the boy, as he wishes to consult with him about something, BIlOl'tSIIT BACK TO LIFE. A curious story of the bringing to life of a man who bad committed sui cide by hanging at Val-de-Grace, Can ton, Friburg, is told by the Conjideye. On the first diagnosis the doctors af firmed that asphyxti was complete ; the body gave not the slightest sign of life, it being blue and rigid. One of the physicians present, however, would not leave the corpse without making a final experiment on it. He uncover ed the breast, and attempted for some time to induce respiration by artificial means but without result. He then applied the pole of an electric battery to the passago of the pneumo-gastrio nerves, and caused a strong current to pass at intervals of four second. Al most immediately feeble signs of res piration reappeared. Five minutes afterwards the radical pulse and the cardiao pulse became perccptable. The epigoltist was tumified.and it was nec essary to pull the tongue out of tho mouth with a pair of pincers in order to render the respiration freer. A few ounces of blood were then drawn from the roediocephalic vein. The dilated pupils contracted gradually.' and the Eigns of life became more and mora manliest. The patient was then able to swallow a small quantity of alco hol. Finally a slicht muscular con. traction was perceptible without the intervention ot electricity the siusibiU ity of the cornea reappeared ; then the feet became warm again, and soon af ter the regular pulsations of the carotid arteries were easily perceptible, A Georgia college has conferred tha degree of L. L. D. upon Alexander II. Stephens, late Vice President of the Confederacy. A local paper describ. ing the interesting scene, aays i "This sudden announcement was like an elastic shock upon the audience; a momentary pause, a breathless silence, was secceedod by a universal and prq. longed shout of applause." If a man must be robbed by hich- waymen, Iowa is the place to have it done. A pair of these centrv who were robbing a farmer, the other day, held an umbrella over his bead to keep the sun off while they went througn him, and offered him a sip of good brandy when they had finished the job. An inexperienced young man went gunning with a party of old Nimroda the other day, and now he says ho knows what is meant by "the hunts man's mellow horn." It holds about a quart, he says, and the huntsman be comes pretty "mellow" after inspect ing the "horn" several times, The Kansas Grangers have resolved to lynch the next orator that begins his address to them with "I'm not a farmer, but have always taken a pro found interest in the truly noble and predominant pursuit of agriculture." A Republican nowspaper in Indiana, speaks of the great aud good General Butler as the cock-eyed man of desti ny.
