Notice to Travellers.

T has become an established fact that accidents will happen notwithstanding the cure and atten- tion which may be paid to the safety and convenience of travellers. Exploi-ions will take place, bridges will be left open. and cars run olfthe track as usual. It is well enough for the public and legislators to caution companies to "beware." and " take heed, " yet these casualties will occur, which re- sult in severe contusions, broken limbs, burns,

We have been to Redditcli, that remarkable little Worcestershire town, to see needles made While on that rch—-for Redditch crowns a high liill—w ’ lookiu abrood. in all direc-

tions, over a true En Iis countr scene of hill and dale, orchard an slopin allow, humble churclitower, and coiiifortsb rmstesd,'we

were compelled, it our errand, to contrast,thls with some very d out places in which we had studied oodles. People who invent and use such articles of convenience es needles must have "It dos common, however widely dillerent they must appear on the whole. How many wants and wis es, deal a and plans. cllbrts and achievements. must common to the minds of all sorts of persons who sow things together to make rments, and do it by means of the some invert ion—of an histruinent which shall pierce the material. and draw it res after it, to do two ed a together! We could not but think. whi e on the tableland of Reddilch, of the odd laces in which, at inter-vale of years, we had lsservsd this process, or the records of it.

In the Lebanon, high up‘ among‘ the dailies and rocky platforms, whie s d each other till the celebrated cation are heigthceo is a villa , nsstlin among m vss and

orchar s,called ‘ on, and H1" by many people in the East: to be the real first home of Adamand Eve. We did not, when we were there, see nnybo y sowing fig-l s together; but we mention t at place, not o y because it is a wide-spread belief that the first sewing ever done was done there, but because we had, a little while before oing there, soon a piece of sewing of extreme y old date. The work that we saw was a iece of durning, with the threaded needle still sticking in it, after the lapse of several thousand ears. The old Egy tians had ii. custom of urying in their ban some, roomy rock-tombs, specimens of the works and possessions of the deceased; and the cotton fa ric that we saw, with the prctt unfinished darn, (more like herring-bone stito than our ordinary darning,) and the needle sticking in it, was, no doubt, the property and the handiwork ofthe dy in who b it was found. i may be seen In Dr. Abbott's collection of curiosities at Cairo. Those old E ptians seem to have known Its use of steel. Tidy used it for armour: but ndt, we su so, for needles ; for this needle—ths one remainiii needle from the world of above llvo thousan years a , is of wood. The wood is hard, and the it c is made as small, probsbly, as it can be, but it is sedly clumsy—barder to use. no doubt, than c s’ iioectas we _ssw under the file at Redditch. It is a curious thing, however, to glance back, through all those thousands of years._ to the Egyptian lady, sitting in her ole nt chaiivt, mcnlzitin h)er mhiiir lln garmea w r i mtg , w a sarrouudsd‘by(her children-one of whom was pls g with her doll, still_ in mummified sxIstenoe,) with e tires on hair uncoinmoiily like the 8phi.ux——and another, e_baby, handling -notuwcolly bow-wow dog like those that lp in our nurseries--but a little snapping crocodile, of wood, witi. s loops under-yaw. A'nd tlisn—wliats. long step it is over space and time l--to the place where we have seen another sort'o needle, with its thread-no morc to be compared with the Redditch needles than the Egyptian one-—thc green shores of Mack- inaw. on La a Michigan, where, in some of the long rows of wigwains,therc are, at this day, Indian women, sewing with a needle of stout porcupine quill, and thread of the sinsws ofthc deer. Again. among iJiosc that we have not see there are the fish-bones that the Giocnlsndera and the South Sea islanders usc—the women of the one race sitting in their snow-burrow, stitching by the light of their oll-lamps ; and the women of the other race wearing, while at work, a great palm-leaf on their heads for shade ;_ and cooling themselves occasionally by a swim in the calm water within the coral reefs. A sin-—but we must not stop to tell of all the di erent kinds of needles used in the woi-ld—though the list would now be a short one. would be a sltort list. because the English needles of to-day are spread- ing all over the known world, wherever exchange of commodities is going on. _ Some of us may feel uncomfortable at this thought--uncomfortable at the recollection of a sad story about that. Do we not know of certain purclisses, made of certain simple Africans-—thc purchase-aioney on our side. being needles- -6 Wliitsobapal sharps," duly gilded at the head- which were found, after the departure of the traders, to be without eyes! It is a sad sto . The Redditch makers, who used to prepare gilt " Whitechspel sharps". for the African market, say that they don't believe ‘it; that the needles were of a coarse and ill-finished kind; but that they were never "blind." at the testimony is so strong, pad ,_the effects of the cheat were so serious in damaging our commercial character

comment can add to the marvel of the thought- a ton of books and eyes per week! needle- tnaking than is no such marvellous machinery: the marvel consisting chiefly of the doatenty attainable by human fingers; but th m

num rs made are simply overwhelming. We saw, on a counter of a warehouse yesterday, a set of little parcels, stich as a lady might carry hours all at once in a hand-basket, and found that they contained a quarter of a million of needles! Comparing that set of parcels with what else the room contained, we gave up the attempt to coin-

sheud what we saw. The room was surrounded y compartments, each-~of which was filLed with

similar packets. The eflort to imagine their con- tents, when in use, was like undertaking to

the grains of a square yard of sea-beach. at this was o y o a room of one pianiifsctory one little town!

The host wire comes from Yorkshire: the in. ferior from Birmingham. There is a small cham- ber,rsally pretty in its way, from being hung round with coils of Sr’ ht wire, suspended from books. This wire is tif all thicknesses, from the stout kind required for fish-hooks for Newfound- land cod, and for packing and soilmaking needles, to the finest for cambric-needles. In the dark and dingy rooms below, bits of wire, each the length of two needles, are cut by a pair of vast shears, well used to the wall. The “measure’.’ is a steel instrument, furnished with a screw, ioh determines the length of the bundle of wires cut‘ at once. Two iron rings, about live inches in‘ diameter, are placed on edge, and nearly filled with the cut wires, of which there is thus a pretty large fsgot before us. These wires, having come of coils, are curved, and the must be straightened. A sort of hooked poker is thrust into, he rings, and transports the fagot to the furnacg, where it is presently heated red hot. It is taken out; a curved iron bar is laid between the rings, and the bundle is rolled backward and forward on a table until the wires are straight. This is called “ rubbing straight." -

We now find ourselves in a mill in the country —a pretty place, with its pond, its unceasing gush of water, its little ravine, its cheerful faint- stead, its fields with cows grazing, even at this season. There is a miller peeping out at us. \Vhst does he do here! One end of the mill is let for grinding flour; the other, for grinding needles. We go down some steps to s_basement- room, where straps are revolving with all possib seal. The water-wlieel is under our feet; and round us are placed four grindstones. Each grindstone is furnished with a cap or cover, like a collapsing Dutch oven. it does not fit closely, but leaves a spans, through which the deadly

ust is blown. are is the secret of the salva- tion of the dry-grinders. A comfortable look- ing needle-pointer is seated on his bench. He takes up two dozen or so of wires, and applies the ends to the grindstous. While doing this he has to roll every wirs between his anger an thumb. Backward and forward he makes them- revolvo, in ‘contact with the wheel ; and ofl flies a shower of sparks. One end being done, be pre- sents the other; for it must be remembered that these wires are of the length of two needles. As e works. we see the dust rushing under the cover, quite away from the workmsn’s face; and we are invited to go and see what becomes of it.

here is a covered fan-wheel in the middle of the chsmber,turnod by water-power; and this it is which sucks sway the dust from all the four grindstones at once. We pass outside to the end of the building, and go down aotue more steps, to the brink of the stream which is flowing sway down the little ravine. We observe that a patch of the opposite bank, some way down, is whiten- ed—crusted over with dust; and, looking care- fully, we see puflh, as of a thin smoke, coming from behind a gray stone on our side of'thc bank. Behind that stone is the outlet from the fan-wheel, and the whitening on the grass and brambles is the dust which would have hung about the men and within the men, but for this saving measure;

We now have the wires straight, and pointed at both ends. Next, we ass a ststoping machine and dis, which flattens and prints a space p‘rs< cisely in the middle of each bit of wire. he print shows where the eye is to be. and at the same time the " guttcriug" is dono—the forming the little channel seen in the heads of all needles.

he workman strikes of lvotliousscd thus in an hour; that is, he flattens and “ utters" the heads often thuussnd’ nssdles per our-rather an advance upon the old mnhod-of doiog each one by hand! Then comes the -punching ufths eyes.
