BmmSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!?9BiSBSSSS?SSfi!S?S A Talk About Needles. "Mamma, what do they make needle? of?" asked Dorothea, as she looked up from ber sewing. She was a bright eyed little girl of seven yesrs. of an inquiring turn of mind and industrious in her babita. "Of wire, Dorothea," replied her mother. "Steel wire?" "Yes." "It rnuat be very fine ?" "It is so thin that 15,000 ordinary needles can be made out of ono pound of tho wire." "Do they make ono needle at a time?" "No, dear ; that would be a very alow process, and would make them rather expensive. One hundred wires eight feet long are placed io a bundie and cut into proper sises by a powerful pair of shears ; it is so arranged that one man can easily cut 1,000,000 needles in a day of twelve boure." Dorothea's eyes widened. "How are they polished ?" ehe aeked. "I hardly know whether I can esplain the operation to you," replied her mother. "The needles aro tied up in oundles, and are placed in what ia called the scouring machine. They are kept in motion from eight to ten hours, which gives them a silvery appearance." "That seems simple enough," observed Dorothea. "I didn't esy they came out of the mscbine polished," resumed ber mother. "The roles are then covered with putty, powder and oil, wrapped in canvas, and placed in a similar mscbine called the polishing machine. A third process is necessary. The canvas is removed and the needles are agitated in a vessel filled with soft soap and water." "IP order to remove the oil?" Dorothea asked. "Yes, dear. They are finally dried tu ash-wood sawdust, after which thuy are tempered." "Wbich means made brittle, don't it, mamma?" "Just so. It is done by makini' them hot, plunging them into oil, anu after* Wird burning offtbeoil." Dorothea was much interested. She closely exam . ad tho needle which she had io her hsnd. "Mamma, do they drill tho eyes and sharpen tbe needles before they temper them ?" ?be asked. "Yes, Dorothea. I was getting along too fast in my description. A clever workman will drill and polish tho holes of?c/enty thousand uce dies a week. "That is a large number, mammn. Are they sharpened on a grindstone?" "Yes." "One needle itt a time?" "Oh, no. An expert grinder will hold twenty-five of the wires at once against the stone, presenting all their points by a dexterous movement o? the thumb." Dorothea pushed her inquiries. "Whare aro needles principally mads, mamma?" "In Hedditch, a small town near Birm ingham, in England. It is tho great center of the needle trade, and it may be said that it has supplied tho whole world for almost two hundred years. Nimety millions of needles aro turned out every week." It was a larger number than Dorothea's mind could grasp. "Did they use needles in old timer?" she asked. "Tbey aro mentioned by somo vory old writers. The beautiful Babylonian embroideries, wbich were often mrdoxut of gold thread, were wrought with nee dles. Tho body of thc wi fu ol' tho Emperor Houorius, whose grave was discovered at Homo in 1644, was wrapped up in an embroidered dress, from which thirty six pounds of gold were obtained. The needle:) used by the sncient Egyptians were made of bronze. They had no eyes in them, owing to the difficulty of pierc ing euch minute boles in the metal." Dorothea put away ber patches, a thoughtful look filling nor face. "Mamma." oho said, "they had needles In the Bible times. Needles that bsd eyes in them too I" "Why do yon think so, Dorothea ?" "Becanae it says, in tho eighteenth chapter of Luke, twenty-fifth verse, that it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God." "That, Dorothea, is now supposed to refer to the name 'needle's eye,' which was given to the narrow side entrances in the fortified places in the East. In India 'an elephant goiog through a nar? row door,' or 'through the eye of a needle,' is a proverbial phrase. Others say that in the dialect of Galilee the word for camel means also tbe cable of a vessel. It is not at all probable that our Saviour meant the eye of a sewing needle." Young fblk'i Friend. Wanted His Leg 8iraigaies?d. "It wss after the battle of West Point, and there was a Frenchman in our regi ment. I forgot his name, but he was in Company A. Well., he hr-'' his leg broken bj a half-a compound fraction above the knee-and it had to be taken off at the thigh. He stood it well, and did not want to have chloroform, but they made him.- Well, thia leg-it was his left one -belog taken off so high up, you see, there was a good deal of it, and the boys did not want to throw it into a hole-, - GO they looked abont for eoraetbipg to bury '?* in. At last they found a cracker box; hut to get it in they bsd to double it up, bead the knee sharply and turn the foot bsck. Which they did, and then buried it. "After the Frenchman came round he rsa nneaay. There was not much pain, he said, but be wished to goodness he I know thal,' lio replied, *ndt morbleu i it feels all, kinked up just the samo.' Well, I did not know anything about tbe burying pf bis leg, and when ho said this tome I thought it was inst the ordi nary path after the operation, though I hui never heard any ore else detcribe the Sain so, and I beweved it would pa-e off. ut it did not.

'Ah, bm morbleu ! that ts bettor!' ho cried out ? suddenly. * Yes. that's better, 1 that's better*-and.for ten or fifteen.minutes ho went on just as if he really had been relieved by having his leg ' straightened out. He never said another word about being cramped, but declared his leg wss . perfectly easy now. It wasn't till, maybe, a week afterward' that we told bim wbst had been done, and then all ho^aid was: 'Ah 1 bnt I knew my leg was kinked on au tba time' ...

Franz Buuebaum, of Hamburg, Ger many, was in tbe city yesterday, accom panied by Prof. fingerling, of Adger College, Walhalla. Mr. Bussebaum, who speaks no English aa yet, came to thia country recently representing an sssociation of wealthy German?, of which he is a member, formed to parchase lands in this section. On Tuesday he completed the purchase of a tract of 134,000 acres of land in tbe upper portions of Picketts and Oconee Coontie, running from the Greenville line and embracing thc corner of the State bounded by North Carolina and Georgia. A considerable portion of this land is settled and cultivated by parties who have obtained possession from time to time, but Mr. Bussebaum bas purchased from tho heirs of the holders Ol the origi nal grant from the State, who are repre sented by tho heirs of the late Col? W. Brown, of Charleston. Mr. Buisebaum does not, however, propose to I:arrasa those occupying the land, and will give them good titles on terms which will doubtless be mutually satisfactory. He proposes to bring over families of Ger mana to settle on the unoccupied portion of the huge tract be baa purchased. His design is to bave the land fur the occu pation of the new Helliers prepared for them by opening and breaking it up and planting it ingrain, potatoes, grasses and fruits, for stock and grain farms, that being the system of cultivation with which they are familiar. Cotton will probably not be grown at all -certainly not for somr. time. The immigrants will bc brought over at first in email parties of fifteen or twenty at u time, hut Air. Bussebaum in confident that he will settle from 2,000 to 8,000 persons on the tract within the next few yearn. He is a practical busi ness man and has the capital behind him to execute bia scheme. He has gone over all the ground and considered all conditions carefully, and knows exactly what bc is doing. He .was introduced to John Ferguson, Director of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, who stated that the m?nagera of the Clyde system are sincerely auxioua to promote immigration to this section, ana would be certain io give uomiual rates for the transportation of such per sons from New York. Mr. Bussebaum rpi ll remain hero pre paring for the reception of tho immi grants and will make thia city his head quarters. Tho immigrants will also be brought here, and each company of them will remain here until the landa designed for thom are ready for their occupancy, tho purpose being to make them comfort able and to ?how them that they will bo in easy reach of a city of some nize. Mr. Buasebaum was taken to Gower & Reilly'a and ahown what thia section can product! in the way of fruits. He exhib ited much pleasure and interest iu ex amining the magnificent specimens pre Gtred for the Exhibition on the ??Uih. e has al?o been taken by Mr. Hahn to nee the Carpen, Garreaux, and Marshall .'ineyarda and auch other demonstrations of what our soil will produce aa would bo I*" ly to interest him, and seemed to bo thoroughly impressed with ibo capabili ties and advantages of ibis section. He expressed much pleasure- in the business like, wide uwake aspect of Greenville. (!rem tille Kelti, 25th inti. Young mau, don't upend your money foolishly with no thought for tho future.
