I t is said that a veiy beautiful and useful fabric can be made from spider webs, and could the fighting propensi ties of spiders, when collected in large numbers, be done away with, a regu lar branch of industry might be estab lished in the manufacture. A medal of honor was recently given a gentle man in England by the Society of Arts for obtaining a thread of silk of the es timated length of 18,000 feet, from twenty-four ordinary garden spiders. To spin one pound of this web twenty- five thousand spiders would be re quired, and yet Queen Victoria was the recipient, not very long ago, of a dress woven from spider-webs, the fabric be ing far finer than the finest silk. Per haps the ugly spider may lose some of his terrors for fair ladies after this dis covery. ■ . .... ■ — ■ — S alt on W heat .—The useful effects of salt on wheat has been shown by recent experiments on the farm of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. An acre of wheat dressed with 300 pounds of salt yielded 39 bushels of grain, while an adjoining acre without salt dressing yielded only 29 bushels of wheat. On another field salt was sown, then it was ploughed twice and sowed with wheat, and there were 40 bushels of grain per acre har vested. A fanner in western Massa- chusetts uses salt at the rate of three bushels per acre in growing winter wheat with success, and thinks that it prevents rusting of the straw.

A Washington correspondent says that only a few weeks ago, at a recep- tion given hy one of the Cabinet ladles, there was the usual attendance of the wives of both Democratic and Republican Senators and Representa tives. It happened that in the general gossip which is largely engaged in on such occasions, the conversation turned on the dignity and grace with which certain ladies had presided over the White House. Some of the ladies re marked that Mrs. Secretary Fish would have filled the difficult position with credit, whereupon the wife of one of the Cabinet Ministers present said that Mrs. Hayes would not be second to even Mrs. Fish in this high station. A lady, the wife of a Democratic Con gressman, said, laughingly, that Mrs. Pelton, the sister of Mr. Tilden, was a very accomplished lady and would grace the White H>use, whereupon Mrs. Secretary Morrill said, with con siderable heat, “Tilden will never oc cupy the White House. We have the army and the navy, and if force is necessary to inaugurate Hayes it will be used.” This was said with such pointedness of speech and the manner of Mrs. Secretary was so spirited that the Democratic ladies withdrew from the contest. O ur W inter —It appears from ex changes that in the States East, North and Southwest, this winter is one of unusual severity. Railroad trains have been blockaded with snow, and the Mississippi river gorged with ice, further south than has been known for many years. While our friends in Iowa have been wrestling with snow drifts, with the temperature 29 0 below zero, the people of Oregon have been basking in sunshine and what would, in the Northwest, be called Indian summer. In Oregon the present win ter is in strong contrast with the last, which was unusually wet. For more than two months it has been dry, much of the time clear—and to us it has appeared quite warm, though wo have heard some old residents speak of our frosty mornings as cold. The win ter has been propitious for plowing and has been generally improved. With favorable weather for sowing in Feb ruary and March the breadth of crops in Oregon will be greater than ever before; and the farmer can look for ward to the latter spring and summer months, as alone respite from field la bor. From present appearances, how ever, our dry weather is at an end. Last night the rain began to fall, and to-day the clouds are on the given hand. The showers however are warm and refreshing and speak of an abund ant harvest.— Cultivator. T he Department of the Interior is in difficulty to know what disposal to make of the product of the latiors of Indians who have been induced to en gage in agricultural pursuits. This property is in the hands of several In dian agents, one of them holding no less than two thousand bushels of wheat. As the question is one of law—the Department not being sure of its authority either to sell or to distrib ute among the Indians—the matter will have to be referred to the proper quarter for legal advice. If it were one of discretion, it would seem at once the proper policy to allow the Indians to reap the fruits of their own industry and thereby encourage them in well doing. The most pleasing feature of the affair is the success which seems to have attended an official experiment of the capacity of the Indian for civi lized pursuits. Henceforth let this success be borne in mind when army officers clamor for extermination.— .V. K Witness. A N ew E xplosive .—A substitute for gunpowder has been invented in England, in the shape of paper im pregnated with a chemical compound of chlorate of potash, nitrate of potash, prussiate of potash, and chromate of potash, coupled with a little powdered charcoal aud tinder. The paper is rolled around these latter in the de sired sizes for cartridges. The advan tage offered are that no danger of ex plosion exists except from actual con tact with tire; the interior of the arm is not soiled; less smoke and less re bound are made than with gunpowder, and less damage takes place from hu midity. Very satisfactory trials have been made of the new material. O ur Eastern exchanges bring us in telligence of a new $1,000 counterfeit treasury note now in circulation.
