The in- tinduction of the manufacture of this article oame about in rather a curious way. Towards the close of the 17th • century, considerable excitement was created in the West of Scotland by a repotted. ease of bewitchment.- "It ap- pears that a girl, 11 years of age, nam- ed Christian Shaw, daughter of - a gen- tleman residing at Baenarran, in Ren- freweleire„ gave out that she - had been bewitehede and attt'ibuted certain hys- - terical convulsions' and other symptoms • which shehad exp rimmed to the in- flu.ence that:WEIS ben.g exerted. over her by her tormentor . For . ten months she was said to have 'vomited at inter- vals eggsshelis, hair, bones, leathers, &c.; and though s e had been visited - • by noblemen, - cierymen,- judges, and physieiansa'no explanation of the phen- °Mena, appears to have •beeen offered, and the case Was left to the verdict' of .a auperatitious mob, who - declared it was a. clear case of bewitchina, and called for the lives of the allege% joffendera. Three men and font women—among the latter being a inaid-servant who had given offence to Miss KliaW-nwere arrested, tried, and condemned to be •-hanged and burnt.: The decision -of the. court is eadd to have received. the cor- dial approval of the clergy; and it was believed that the.eXeotition of the poor wretches would be anevereblow to the • . naachinatiorts of the enemy of mankind, •. the members of the Presbytery were appointedto attend and see it pioperly carried out. One of the women pris- oners committed suicide in jail.; but on ithe mottling of Stine 10th, 1697, the 'other eia were marched to their doom • in a central part of 'Paisley. They were first hanged for a short time, and. then, rroliabiy before one of 'them was quite dead, outdonn and cast upon a pile of peat satutated, with tar,. which, hav- ing been set fire to, burnt their bodies to ashes. _ . It is recorded, that among the .specta- tors of the horrible tragedrwere " most • of the nobility and gentry of ' the dis- trict," who ptobably judged that there could not be maeli that was objection- able in an entertainment which was • graced by the presence of the learned and pious mem:bete of the Presbytery.

Paisley studied t e process and . em- barked. in the tia,de, the leader being Mr. Pollock, who * -thus eutitled to be regarded as the fp.ther of the Paisley thread rnanufaoturo, which has now grown to such reposing dimensions. The next importa t incident in the his- tory of the threeu trade was the change from flax to cott n, which was effected by one of the fou ders of the greatest fum of thread , anufacturers in the world—Clark & Co., Paisley. The hedilles of the loo s in use in this, as wellas in other pountries, used to be naad.e of silk; and, supplies of that ma- terial were chiefly obtained from Ham- burg. When Napoleon captured that citrin the beg* ng 9! thepresent cen- tury; he ordered ill the silk found in it to be burnt, witit the view, it is be- lieved, of paralys g the weaving trade. Among those wh suffered_ temporary inconvenience fro this act were Mr. Peter Clark, of Pa'sley, and his brother, , who were makets of silk heddled twine. During the crisie n the trade Mr. Petet ClariF conceived t e idea of using cot- ton es a substitu • for silk, and found by e -perhaient ,t1 at cotton -yarn, dou- bled on the cable • rinciple, yielded sat- isfactory results. it vtas next discover- ed that the. cottoi heddle twine was more suitable fo sowing with than linen thread, as i was smoother, and made a neater earn. Gradually a demand for it arose, and. Messrs. Clank applied. th mselves to produc- ing cotton thread • f various degree. of . fineness. ' The rising geemeation of Clarks now entered the butiless, and the firm of J._dc- J.Llark was established. One of the first improve ents effected by the - young firm was he winding of the thread upon WO -0 911bobbins, and thus saving the sewers he trouble of wind- ing the yarn from the hank, in which it had previously een sold. This plan was highly apprec ated; and as an al- lowance was mad to purchasers when they .returned t eirem.pty • bobbins, these were care lly preserved, and used again and a, ain. At that time the doubling inacjhines in which the • thread. was forme contained only two dozen spindles eaph, and were ' driven bY hand. Encour ged by the demand for their produc ions, Messrs. Clark built a smell fact ay, into which they introduced larger iiaachines, which were driven by steam. IA manhine for wind- ing the thread. up n the bobbins was • also devised, and s perseded the origin- al pirn wheel. T1.0 enterprise of the . founders of this fa tery filled the mind of Mr. Peter Clar , already referred to with misgivings, akid he said to his 60/1S, "1 cannot isee where all. that thread is to go. We have done very well, and. made smile money, but I fear you are just going to, throw it away." Undeterred by ti is discouraging ad- monition, the you ig Clarks persevered, and their success belied the unfavor- able prediction. he invection of the sewing -machine g ve a great impetus to the thread trad , into which by that time a number of other films had em- barked.- In face of all competition, however, the desce daubs of the inven- tors of cotton timed have maintained • the prestige so early won, and the • pro- ducts of the Anch r Thread Works at Paisley may now ile said to be in con- -starlit use in every orner of the earth. The length of thr ad turned out by the firm, in one year hs. been reckoned to be about twenty-fi e millions of miles, so that, if we coulli imagine the earth to be used as a 1obbin, it would re- quire to revplve a thousand • times bcfore.it would (nd up the twelve months' produce df Clank & Co:'s ma- chinery. A French Ch rlie Ross Case Bozo the Paris Police Solved it. a s On the Boulev rd Malesherbes a young couple son what new. to Paris had just taken thplace of concierge and butler respe tively. • One after- noon as their little boy of four -was play- ing in the passage itt a level with the street, by which a 1- houses here are _entered, a couple stopped in front of the house .and 4 well-dressed lady descended. The iijifant was attracted by the noise and. r n out The woman stopped and .fond1et it and canded it to the carriage and d ove off.

First every hack in the district was amined as to its work on that particular. afternoon, andein time this reduced t se problem to which of a dozen or ni 're ladies had driven with children th t day. Then the problem came down to ladyliving in a modest quarter of ts e city who had returned home with n infant and had, immediately left t e place, and had not been seen sine. The history of the personage as looked up. She was the Count ss Lomenn, an English woman, who h separated from her husband. Then he departures from Paris were traced, a d so surely that within three days t e train she hada taken was known; in another point she . had gotten o — Calais and °reseed to Dover; then in England the work was slow aud pro is - ed to be hopelese, when lo, the bird e - alighted in the same bush but not in the same cage. She had. returned to Paris and taken quarters elsewhe e. She was visited by the police and v w- ed that the child was he own and vo s still that it is, and the case is to be tried in the courts. The developme tis meanwhile about the countess illustr_ te not only the pretentious espionage of he police on every man, woman and. ch ld in the capital, but reveal some ext a - ordinary phases of 'Paris life. • T e woman, it seems,has a mania for seizi 0 children and putting them in asylu s for infants, to be reared. to cart: in creeds. So far as shown she is • ot mercenary in her madness, but sim ly bent on making monks of such prom s- ing babes as elle can seize.—Pa is Letter. • _ Evils Among Young Men. • Of all the evils prevalent arming • young men, we know of none more blighting in its Moral effects than to speak lightly of the virtues of a wom n. Nor is there anything in which yo ng men are so thoroughly mistaken as he the low estimate they form as to e integrity of women. Not of their o n_ mothers and sisters, but of others, w o, they forget, are ecinebody else's moth rs and sisters. As a rule, no person w o surrenders to this debasing habit is to be trusted. with an enterprise requiri integrity of character. Plain wo de should be spokee on this subject, for the evil is a general one and deep rooted. If y9ung men aro sometimes thrown into society of thoughtless or depraved women, they have no more right to _measure all other women by what they See of these, than they have to estimate the character othonest and respectable citizens by the developments of crime in our police court. Let our young men remember that their chief happiness in life depends upon utter faith in women. No worldy wisdom, no misanthropic philosophy, no generalization, can cos er or weaken trubh.I It sta,nds:like the record of itself—for it is nothing less than this —and should putan everlasting seal upon lips that are wont to speak slightly of women. A Point for the Exolutionists. Mr. Darwin has furnished the A e- rica/acre/ Gazette. with an account from an Australian paper of a new breed. of sheep. • It appears that a gentleman named Currie bought some Merino rams from what is known as the Camden flock in Kew South Wales, the origin of which was a few -Spanish sheep frcm the private flock of King George M. After the Camden rams were taken to ,Victoria, Jlambs having fleeces' of a pe- culiar ch racter appearedat intervals, and in ot erflocks the use of Camden rams cau ed the occasional appearance of lambs eith, fleeces of peculiarly flue, 'long, straight and lustrous fibre; but this was held to indicate weakness, and the animals Avele discarded. However, som.e ten years iago Mr. Currie saved a ram lamb showing in .a marked. degree these eharanterietics, and selected a few ewes with similar fleeces, rather less pronounced, and the result is what is now known as the Larra Merino. The flock now numbers about 100 ewes, and great things are expected of it. This is said to be the third instauce on record of a distinct variety -of sheep making a sudden appearance. .Good -Advice About the Baby. •-{+-rEindnaa Clark, of Nebraska, wri4s t6the Inter -Ocean: I did not think to intrude until I read Marguerite asking advice about making babies' pants.
