BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND CTHEB MATTER. | | A source of wealth, yet undeveloped, exists | in tbe Southern States, which only requires a iitile enterprise and industry on the part of the people to become one of the most importautand | profitable of the products of that section. We allude to the “Ramie” or «China Grass,” (Bochmivia Tenacessima, of the order Urticacia,) & plant which grows spontaneously im Texas, Louisiana, Mississ:ppi, Alabama, and Fiorida, | and which could also be grown in Georgia and | the Carolinas, if the effort were made. It yields & fibre so textile and so beautifal that those | who have given the matter attention assert it | cam be treated to rival silk, aud to supersede to ‘great extent the finest cotton. The cloth made from it resembles a splendid gray or lavender Stik, and while it Iacks the value of thatarticle: | and is less costly, it is far superior to cotton. It is quite extensively used in England and | France for morning aud walking dresses, and | the demand for the goods and consequently fot the raw material is rapidly and steadily in- creasing | To be properly prepared for market, the grass | should be dried. wheu the gree fibre bscomes | White. In its green state it is worth in Eng: | land £35 to £40 per ton of 2,20 pounds: well “cried and white, £50 per ton; dressed, for mix- | ing With cotton or silk, £28) to £300 per ton. Jis cultivation costs little or nothing, and its preparation bat very little, Large quantities are used weekly in Engiand, and ali that Teaches there finds a ready market. | ee We see that at the Seventh Ward labor meet- ing Wednesday night a resolution was adopted | 19% requesting the Mayer to use the $26,00) balance of the caual-cleaning appropriation made two | years ago, in employing men to clean out a certain portion of the canal this winter. In the Councils Monday night, if we remember aright, reference was maae to this same balance of appropriation. Now, there is really no such | balance. The sppropriation expired with the | Canal Commission; and even had it net expired | by limitation, there would be no such thing as | & “balance” to be made availabie now, as all | familiar with the run of our city affairs are | Sware. If Corporation appropriations afforded | & basis for expenditure, our worthy Mayor Would now have the snug sum of $11,000,000 to spend in city improvements, as there are now on the statute books, first and last. unexecuted | acts Sppropriating at least that amount of money. As regards the canal appropriation referred to, as we understand it, the whole concern. Sppropristion, Commission, and office of Canal , Engineer—have all expired by limitation; and | ‘we suppose the Mayor so understands it, as we bear he has dispensed with the services of | the ate Engineer, Mr. Severso: | pears oedema ee There is a crowing feeling, we notice, both | mw this country and in Europe, that much of the time now devoted to the dead Inngnages in | 8 college education is very unprofitably spent. in England there is a disposition to make | decided retorms in classical education. The | Modern languages are gaining favor amongst the University men there; and it seems to be Admitted that in a large number of cases Greek | bas proved an utter failure. Those who at. | tempt to study i: fiad themselves really unabie | to master i"; and the want of success in Greek inclines people to an untayorable feeling to | all classical learning. This feehog bas ex- | tended to the merean/ile and commerci: ul world; And Latin is involved in the disgrace which attaches to Greek. 1t is now proposed to over- throw Greek in order to save Latin from the common wreck, anc to substitute French and | Germsn for Greek. One moéera innguage, 1t is held, at least should be studied, and a com- Petent kuowledge of French and German | ‘would probably afford more pleasure and profit to aman in the course of nis life than almost | any other subject he could master at school. | | The Davenpert (Iowa) Gozetie publishes the | following extract from a private letter written by Hon. E. B. Washbtirne to an intimate friend wader date of the 2ith ult., touching his con- nection witb the Cabinet of the Presideat | elect = | “So far as political position is concarned, I 3m contest with the one assigned me for the | nonth time by @ generous ana confiding con- stituency.

Goven’s Lectcnes—A very large and appreciative audience was at the Congrega- tonal Church last evening to hear the lecture | of Jobn B. Gough on “Temperance,” under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation. The eminent lecturer spoke for two | hours with bis accustomed eloquence, and was | listened to with marked attention. To-night be lectures at the same place, his subject being “Circumstances.” This is Mr. Gough's new fect Te, and is said to be one of his best efforts. | No doubt there will be a crowded Bouse. | Wat's Orgra Hovse—We trust tha; Messrs. Bland & Baker, the enterprising mana- fers of this cosy theater, will contiaue to receive | the liberal patronage of the public. as the | dramatic entertainments furaished by them have been of & very excellent character. Tne periormances of Mr. Lingard and company, | who are at present engaged there, are very Sgreeabie, amd attract good houses. Mr. Lin- gard concludes bis engagement to-morrow evening. —_—_______..
