about three yearn past, the consumption of
wire by the crinoline worker in thl. conn-
try has not been fur from otio hundred tons
per week. The wire i of steel, and the
price has ranged from fifteen to thirty cents
per pound. At the average twenty-two
cents the yearly consumption amounts, to
$3,464,000. A few months since, the or
ders to first hands greatly diminished, and
fears, were apprehended by the wiremakers
thut the harvest was over. But the lull
whs caused by an overstock in the hands of
crinoline-milkers, who hud ordered too
freely. At present, the demand Is as uc

OUEGON CITY, ORKGON, DKCKMBEK 29.
Uty or Uamaseat-llt Ureal Aalltally.
Djiiiukmis wag an important place at
least as early 111 the time of Abraham, so
that it is nut less than four thousand years
old. Etymologist dispute about the
meaning of the numo. It was the ancient
capital of Syria, aud was thus tho quin
tessence of the quickwitted race it repre
sented. It is called by some the most an
cient city in tho world. This is, no doubt,
eastern t-xnggcrution, but the fact that ev
erything suj, by the orientalists about this
famous capital ia exaggerated, only shows
how strongly its real attractions had tuken
effect upon their vivid imagination. A
celebrated epislle of an ancient writer calls
it " the great and sacred city of Damascus,
surpassing every city, botlt it; the beauty
of its temples and the magnitude of its
shrines, as well as the timeliness of -its sea
sons, the limpidncss ef its fountains, the
volume of its waters, and the richness of
its sod." lis people call it " a pearl sur
rounded by emeralds."
The description of Buckingham are not
considered entirely reliable. But there ha
seldom anything been written with human
! pen more beautiful than hi picture of the
j plain of Damascus. He compares it to an
English scut in the country, surrounded by
an immense park. The visitor inquires for
the family, and G::d thut they have been
for a year in Italy. Meanwhile the place
hus been delightfully niikept. Its rich cul
tivation is everywhere partially grown tip;
the trees mitrimmcd aud dipping their
branches iu the 'purkling rivulet; the
roses grown utmost into trees and covered
witii innumerable blossom. Everywhere
i seen rich verdure, luxuriant growth, with
but such a touch of wilduess us to give the
finishing grace to the landscape. Such, he
Buys, is Damascus in the bloom of the year.
Damascus was conquered by Duvid, who
made it tributary. After being held by
Solomon, it rerolted, ami afterward was
at the head ol thirty-und-two kings. It
wu subsequently taken by Assyria and
Persia. Alter tho battle of Iasus, It fell
into the hands of Alexander the Great,
and Pompey annexed it to the Roman Em
pire. A iter hetng celebratetl for lis weultli
and splendor under the Greek Emperors,
it was conquered by the Saracens, and be
came for a time the capital of the Moham
medan world. Tiie scepter of Inlum passed
over to Bagdad, but Damascus is still fa
mous in the history of S.dadin. It was
besieged by the Crusader In the twelfth
century, but they faded to take it. Later
still, it was captured, with circumstances
of great barbarity, by Tamerlane, and
finally fell into the hands of the Turk un
der Seliin I. It possesses, too, a high
moral interest, lor on that beuutif.il plain
it was that St. Paul " became obedient to
the heuviuly vis'nn."
Among the points of interest connected
with this famous city are the Damascus
blades, so malleable that they might be
bent to a right angle without losing tlie'r
elasticity, and so keen that they could
sever down or gauze floating In the uir, or
divide iron, without destroying their edge.
For ages tho secret ol their manufacture
was unknown. Gen. Anossoff, in the Ural
mountains, however, succeeded, in quite
recent times, in rank n a sword which
seemed to equal the best Damascus, " with
blade of reticulated lines such as al
ways appeared on the finest Damascus
blades in broad stripes, aud showing a
bright, gilded reflection. He cut through
a gauze handkerchief in the air, and cleft
hones and nails, feats which cannot be per
formed with the best English steel." An
derson, in his recent travels in Siberia,
states, however, that the secret died with
Aiiossotr, as these swords are not now
made at Damascus.
Another point of interest is the famous
Damask stuffs, They are properly silk,
though sometimes made of other fabrics.
Large quantities of silk are still manufac
tured, and the Damask rosea have lost
nothing of their immemorial beanty.
There is at Damascus a considerable
trade both with India and Europe. From
India are brought by the Persian Gulf,
Bassora, Bagdad, and Aleppo, spices, cot
ton goods, coarse and fine muslins, and
gold stuffs. English goods come through
B 'yrout and Tripoli. The pple are
Mohammedans, Druses, Oriental Chris
tians, Jews, Ac. The population is about
one hundred thousand.

Mr. Darwin ha i.ient twenty years in
elaboration of a theorj, according to which
the oyster, the elephant, the eagle, and
man in a word, all animals, vertebrate
ami invertebrate, spring from the same or
iginal parent! Professor Agassix has so
bn yed thi theory in a mortar with a pestle,
that it author will have some trouble te
Out! iu fragments. In his "Contribu
tion to the Natural History of the United
States," from advanced sheet of which ex
tracts are given in the July number of the
Atnnictin Journal of Seienn and Artt,
he says, among other things:
" The argument presented bj Darwin
have not made the-slightent Impression on
my mind nor modified in any way the
views I have already prnKundcd."
" Had Mr. Darwiu or hi follawers fur
nished a single fact to show that individu
als change iu tho course of time in such a
manner as to produce, at last, specie dif
ferent from those, known before, the state
ef the case might be diff -relit."
" The origin of a II the diversity among
living being remains a mystery ns totally
Unexplained as if the book of Mr. Darwin
had never been written, for no theory, un
supported by fact, however plaus.ble it
may appear, can bo admitted iu science."
" Sumce it to say that lie ( Darwin) Das
lost sight of the most slr.king of the fea
tures, and the one which pervades the whole,
namely, that there runs throughout m.ture
unmistakable evitleace of thought corres
pondent to the mental operations of our
own minds, and therefore intelligible to us
thinkinr beings, and unaccountable on any
other basis than that they owe their exis
tence to the working ol intelligence."
" There are naturalists who seem to look
upon the idea of creation, that is, a manifes
tation of an intelhi'tnal power by material
means, a a k iid of bigotry, forgetting, no
doubt, that whenever they carry out a
thought of their own they do something
akin to creating, miles they look upon
their lucubrations as something in which
their own individuality i not concerned,
but arising without an intervention of their
mind in consequence of the working of
some ' bundle or forces' about winch they
know nothing themselves. And yet such
men are willing to admit that matter is
nmti'pntent, and consider a disbelief in the
omnipotence of mutter ns tantamount to
imbecility: for what is the assumed power
of matter to produce all finite being but
omnipotence?"
Machinery and Waoes. When steam
power first began to supersede hand labor,
the forebodings ef the working men of Eng
land wcro awful, and they fought against
the introduction of machinery with the
ardor of men fighting to maintain their foot
hold upon the earth. Iu the last number of
the London Quarterly Rerriui, is an article
which shows how short-sighted and. unfound
ed were those apprehensions, and which
conclusively proves that hand in hand with
the progress of machinery ha been the ad
vance also in the laborer's compensation.
The writer directs attention to the great
manufacturing districts of England, nnd
shows the continually Increasing rate of
lompensution which has been going on for
ninny years, and which has now brought
up the rate of the operator's wages until it
equals, in its average, tho income of the
professional men and tradesmen throughout
the Empire. It is mentioned iu the same
article that a great increase is at present
going on in the manufacturing capacity of
England. New factories are going up in
every directian, nnd twenty thousand ope
ratives are now wanted in the factories ol
Lancashire.
Jty M. PoiiRsin, of Paris, announces
that he has succeeded in fixing the colors
on a daguerreotype plate. His principal
agents are the essential oil of gilly flowers
and tho chlornret of gold. The recent
tiblication of Lord Bronghan.'s mathema
tical and physical tracts brings to light the
fact that he came " within one" of dis
covering photography fifty years ago. One
of the papers contained remarks on the
effect of exposing a plate of ivory stained
with nitrate of silver to the rays of the
spectrum, and also on the result of submit
ting the plate to the rays passing through a
small aperture into a dark room. These
suggestions were considered by Sir C. Blag
den to relate more to art than to pure sci
ence, and were accordingly omitted from
the published cepy. Had they appeared,
it is morally certain that tbey would have
led to the immediate discovery of photog.
raphy fifty years earlier than its actual
introduction.

19 Editors, like other shrewd men,
must live with their eyes and ears open.
A good story Ia told of one who started a
paper in a western village. The town was
infested with gambler, whose presence was
a source of annoyance to the citizens, who
told the editor that if he did not came out
against them they would not patronize hi
paper. He replied that he would give
them a " smasher" the next day. Sure
enough, his next Issue contained the prom
ised " smasher," and 011 the following morn
ing the redoubtable editor, with scissors iu
hand, wa seated hi his sanctum cutting out
hews, when in walked a largo man with a
club hi hi hand, and demuuded to know if
the editor wa in.
" No, sir," was the reply, "he has stepped
out. Tnko a sent and read the papers; he
will return In a minute."
Down ant the indignant man of cards,
crossed his legs, with his club between
them, nnd commenced roading a paper.
In tho meaut.mu the editor quietly vamos
ed down stairs, and at the lauding below
he met another excited mau with a cudgel
iu his hand, who asked if the editor was in.
Yes, sir," was the prompt response;
" yon will find him seated up stairs reading
a newspaper. '
Tho latter, on entering the room, with u
furious oath commenced a violent assault
upon the former, which wu resisted with
equal ferocity. The fight wa continued
until they had both rolled to the foot of
the stairs, and pounded each other to their
heart's content.

his Uncle and the gratitude of his people,
in recording himself, and his deeds, and
the name of his family, all over Paris, in
monuments more lasting than brass In
widening iu streets, enlarging its borders,
and building whole miles of magnificent edi
fice, along whole miles of broad boulevards
in fortifications and fountains, in parks
ami forest. Thus Paris shall become his
historian, and interweave his name so inti
mutely with all its modern glories, that
nothing can ever divide them no future
dynasty ever separate them or blot oat bis
memory from the people of France. '

An Enjlish Journalist say: "I there
arybody above n idiot, who has not, at
some time or other, thought, with a Kronen
internal thrill, while contemp.. ing a crowd,
'How will all these people dicf The
thought comes when the Queen is opening
Parliament, amidst the most gorgeous a
sembluge that this country can show. It
comet in the midst of the Tillage fair, when
the drnmt and the trompets, and the rhout
of the showmen, and the great laughs of
the rustics, are loudest. It comes when,
in war time, the troop march forth through
thronged streets, and climb Into the trans
ports on the crowded sea. It coraci when,
in time of peace, the first tod of a greet
railway is tnrned, or the first stone laid of
a great building which will be a benefit to
successive generations for a thousand jears.
We know how something very like it oc
curred to the poet Graj and Mrs. Heroans
at evening prayer in a girls' school; and
few of ni can have been present at any
celebration in any one of our public school
without being visited bj that speculation
'In seveutj, or, ssj eighty years from this
day, every individual ofthiigrett crowd
will be dead.' One would like to know
how each one will die; bj accident on land,'
some of them no doubt; by a gun going off
in getting through a hedge their own gun
or some comrade's who will never be happy
again; some bj drowulng In bathing at
home, or by foundering at sea; some by fire
ia the dressing room, or In the ship, or in
their beds; one or two by suicide in disease
of brain or agony of mind; some of the
youths, yenrs hence, by apoplexy, brought
on by intemperance of some kind or anoth-
rr; some of the young women In tho most
pathetic possible moment mothers for an
hour or two a day, but prevented from'
rallying by previous violations of the law
of nature; some few, very few, from mere
old age, when they will remember this da j,
but nothing of a then receut date; a large
proportion from the ordinnry diseases affect
ing tho three great departments of the
head; more from the various diseases of
the abdomen, nnd most from those of the
chest. The deaths in the streets from
brain seizure are a common item ef news
in the papers. We need but to refer to '
liver complaint, cholera, the gout of tho
olden time, still surviving, and the misera
ble stomach complaints of our own day.
But all this last class together will not car-'
ry off as many as consumption, if we are
to judge the next half centnry by the past. '
Within fifteen or twenty years a largo
propnrtion of the young people who lo-duy '
look so full of life and spirits, will have i

Religious Progress in Italy. The .
American Messenger well illustrates the ;
progress of religious liberty in Italy by
contrasting the present state of religious
freedom thcro with that which existed sev- .
cn years ago, when Francisco and Rosa
Madiai wero serving out their long ten
mouths of imprisonment in the gloomiest ;
of Italian dungeons, for the crime of simply
reading the word of God. Even as lute

imprisonment. But the Messenger

" Were we to revisit Florence to day,
what should we behold? The Grand
Duke in exilo, and the Madiai aud their
co-religionists in honor; the Bible in the
huud of thousand of the people, and un
restricted liberty to profess the faith of
Savanarolu and of Luther; an ample
measure of civil liberty under the benign
sway of Victor Emmanuel; the dream of
ages, of a united Italy, substantially real-

" We know not how better to sum up
the marvelous change wrought there than
by alluding to the circum.tuuces of the
transier of the Waldensinn Theological
Seminary from La Tour, a little Vaudois
village near Turin, to Florence! The
Madia! in prison for Bible-reading in 1853;
the biblical school of the Waldenscs set
op in the same city in 1 SCO! If Galileo
wero alive, and in his old observatory still
overhanging Florence, he might assert,
with fuller meaning than when condemned
for hit demonstration of the motion ef the
earth, ' After all, the world does move!' "
In the 'Memoirs of Garibaldi,
written by Alexander Dumas, and pub
lished some time past in the Paris Siecle,
Garibaldi relates that so far back as
the year 1833, when mate ef a ship
which was then at Marseille, he saved
from drowning a schoolboy named Ram
hand, who, while playing in a barge In the
port, had accidentally fallen into the water,
and that he bad to plunge three timet be
fore be rescued th lad. " As I had jut
before been condemned to death," tayt
Garibaldi, " I had assumed the name of
Pane, and it is probable that the person I
saved never knew my real name." Tbo
Siecln now publishes a letter, signed by
' J. Rambaud, No. 9 Roe de l'Ecloe,
the Batignolle,' io which the writer tayi
that it was he who wat saved in 1833, and
that it i " with great emotion and Jy
thut he had learned the real oame of kuo
to whom he owed but life."
