ITS SAD BUT TRUE! POOR OLD
He passed away on January 15th, 1897, at 7 o'clock in the morning. It required a bard strug
gle for us to give him no as he "-was a dear friend of ours. Full well we remember how we used to
take him home with nsf to eat. think and sleep with him; so my dear readers you can imagine how
near and dear he was to us. But we have laid him to rest and wish him well, and hope our com
petitors will treat him with as much respect as we have. But our conscience is clear, as we have
done nothing we are sorry for. We are in it to a finish, with the largest stock of goods m the city

The following anecdote is related bv
General Horace Porter in his "Campaigning-
With Grant, ,T in The Century:
While riding about the- field. General
Grant stopped at a house and expressed
a desire to prepare some dispatches. A

said, with a tow and a smile, "gere,

looked at him and replied: "Ah, you

men to do what he coeld for the Con

CARFET PRhMTlHG.
When the Xirst Esir3icnl "Were 3Iadc
by Jolts Briskt.
The priuriBg of tapestry and velvet
carpete. after being woven in the whise,
dates back 50 cr- saoee years ago. Old
carpet men will at once recall the fabric
made by John Bright at Beehdale, Eng
land, and how he needed our country
with his products. Their iDmdoction,
however, was difficult, as they case in
conflict with the prcductions of John
Crossley &z Sons, then the greatest pro
ducers of the original tapestry and vel
vets in the world. The difference, of
course, between the two productions
was that the Crossleys had the designs
printed, as now. in colors on the warp
before weving, while -char made by
John Bright (tapestry) had its figures
and colors stamped upon the fabric by
hand after it was woven. The latter
process, however, presented a drugget
effect and lacked the style and accurate
registration of the Crossley carpets.
They had one thing to eommend them
they were very durable. Brighc's goods
were first printed with blocks, and, be
ing durable and cheap, their sale was
large in many countries.
Cylinders or rollers were afterward
used by Bright, the cue being taken
from calico and kindred printing, but
they varied much in their construction.
One of thete, used by an r7nfffigh manu
facturer, was a very elaborate and ex
pensive affair. The engraving of the de
sign upon the cylinder was very deep,
and the colors placed in their proper
places to correspond precisely with the
fabric itself, a painted design, contain
ing every color to be employed, being
used as a guide. In fact, the exact col
oring of the carpet was placed upon the
cylinder and from it transferee to the
plain fabric American Carpet and

A Bridge Kept In-Keparr by 3IasHei3.
The byssus, or silky heard, by which
the mussel moors itself to the stone, is
a familiar object of our sea recks. It is
in its nature like the silk of the silk
worm and exudes in a gmtrfleue thread
from an organ at the base of the foot.
The following is an instance in which
the mooring of the mussel was useful to
effect a purpose which human skill
could not accomplish. A large bridge,
with 20 arches, in the town of Biddeford,
in Devonshire, crosses the Torridge river
near the spot of its jimetks. with the
Taw.
The tide Sows so very rapidly here
that it was found impossible to keep the
bridge in repair by means af mortar.
The corporation therefore keeps boas
employed in bringing- mussels to it, and
the interstices of the bridga are filled by
hand with these mussels.
It is supported from being driven
away by the tide entirely by the strong
threads which these mussels fix to the
stonework, and by an act or grant it is
a crime liable to transportation for any
person to remove the mussels unless in
the presence and by the consent of the
carcoratrve trustees. Scottish Nighta.
