| Appreciation.

thrice blest is he whom God endows With truest gifts of seeing,

Who feels each duty day by day Throughout his inmost being;

Who reads the language of the breeze, The brooklets rippling laughter,

Who hears the whispers in the trees And bird-songs coming after ;

Who notes each blossom on the ground, Each grass plume graceful bending,

Each happy floweret all around Its incense upward sending.

The myriad voices of the night, The insect’s drowsy humming,

The wind announcing through the trees The tempest-chariot’s coming ;

The gentle music of the waves, The ocean's varied voices,

The zephyr which o’er toilers graves For peace and rest rejoices ;

Who sees the sun-beam through the cloud The hope through gloom or sadness,

The deep soul-murmurs low or loud Of Nature in her gladness.

Who knows each beauty half revealed In every dell and dingle, And every vision half concealed Where night and morning mingle ; Knows well each grace and marvel caught By moonbeams softly shining, And loves the pictures deftly wrought By shadows interwining. —J. Edgar Jones, in The American Maga- zine,

Industrial Items Before A. D. 1800. BY C. B. BAGSTER.—NoO. 2.

Flax and Hemp.

Pharaoh arrayed Joseph in vestures of fine linen 1,716 years before the Christian era. The flax industry, however, must have been guarded very jealously in Egypt for it took about 11 centuries to reach Tyre. The demolition of Tyre (anno 572 B. C.,) by Nebuchadnezzar caused the Ty- rians to change the site of that city to an opposite island, there it was repuilt with greater magnificence. Here, some 15 years afterward, the manufacture of flax seems to have gottena good footing and to have become a profitable industry. After another long stretch of time (that is to say, on to about the beginning of the Christian era), it had reached Gaul, whence it was subsequently carried to Britain. The first known man- ufacture of the cortical fibre of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), in England was in the middle of the thirteenth cen- tury, when Menry III. patronized and pro- tected a company of Flemish weavers, and otherwise encouraged the linen interest.

Anyone looking at the wonderful machin- ery connected with flax manufacture at the present day, but uninformed respecting the early modes of its preparation, would be somewhat surprised to learn that for many ages the core was separated from the bark only by the hand, and that the first machine was'#-elub whicl some lazy genius picked up as an experimunt for a speedier reduc- tion,of the fibre to the requisite smoothness.

The botanical name, linwm, is derived from leios, smoothness, on which its value rests. This club was found to be so effec- tive that it was dignified with the name (from the Latin malleus, a pounder), of mallet, because it did the mauling. By Statute 24, Henry VIII., anno 1533, it was ordained to be grown in England, principally, however, in the fishery inter- ests; but it was not until 1750 that the old methods of breaking and’ scutching flax gave way. The possibility of utilizing water power occurred to a Scotchman, and he succeeded, after applying histinventive genius to the subject, in making a working machine and running it by water. To the intelligent Scott thus belongs the honor of taking the initiative in developing this now universal industry.

In 1785, Russia was the great source of supply, and in that year England purchased from that conntry 17,695 tons of flax and hemp, besides offering premiums and boun- ties to home agriculturists for its home pro- duction.

The hemp plant (Cannabis sativa,) is a native product of the East Indies, and per- haps its Danish name, hamp, would justify the supposition that the Danes (who made their first hostile appearance in England A. D. 788,) brought the narcotic plant with them, and planted it so successfully as to entitle a district to the name of Hamp- shire.

Pliny in the first century A. D. described the Cannabis sativa as ‘‘ utilissima funibus cannabis,” and his estimate of its value has never been revoked. It has remained an unchanging truth, equally with the fisher and the hangman, to the present time.

The first machine for rope-making from hempen fibre was patented by Richard March in 1784, It remained ‘‘on the march ” for eight years, when Edward Cart- wright gave it another boost, securing his improvements by a patent in 1792.

If we compare the present magnitude of the industries connected with flax and hemp with those of a century ago, we shail be struck with the enormous expansion they have experienced inthe hands of the Anglo-Saxon race. The fiscal year ending June 30th, 1882, reveals the fact that New York alone imported 36,679 tons of hemp, costing abroad $6,110,152, and 5,563 tons of flax, costing $1,502,645 ; while in 1785 the greatest importing country of the world (then and now,) found its limit at less than 18,000 tons. ‘Thus we see that the present development of the flax andjhemp industries has been a_ struggle for introduction and improvement for 36 centuries.

SOME PARTICULARS.

only four minutes. Boulanger seemed to be excited and nervous. He made several passes at Floquet who was pale and equally excited, and did not seem to be an expert swordsman. Finally Gen. Boulanger made a desperate slash at Floquet, who thrust his sword out and at the same instant the Gen- eral was run through the neck—he stagger- ed, clapped his hands to the wound and fell unconscious in the arms of Leherisse and Lasant. A doctor, who was present, put some bandages at once around his throat as though to stop the flow of blood. The General was isamediately carried away. Floquet was seconded by MM. Clemenceau and Perrin. The duel was fiercely fought. General Boulanger tried hard to kill Flo- quet and threw himself upon him again and again. When Floquet received the wound in the hand, and it began tu bleed, the seconds proposed that the fight be discontinued, but both combatants refused to stop. M. Floquet’s sword penctrated two inches be- tween the jugular vein and the carotid artery, impairing the play of the lung, per- haps irrecoverably, et Clippings.
