~|GRTH» Wafou and Plow astablishment of
Mr. Taylor, at the old stand of Taylor &
McKee, has had an extensive addition made
to it, an addition which nearly or quite
doubles tlii) eapacitv of the manufactory.—
Daring the aea^ou the business has increased
greailv that this wu rendered absolutely
necessarv in order to lueet the orders given,
M'j fvr some time past* the energetic and
competent oversaerof tha works, Mr Archer,
jnforins us that they have been unable to
matt rni^-lhird of the dt'uwuid fur wnsom.
Tais ffpeaks well for the reputation of the
eitablismeut, and for the growing demand of
the region. When the present improvements
are completed, as they will be in a few days,
thev hope to be able to meet the demand for
lone time to come. The wood employed in
this establishment, or all that is employed in
ftaoh parts as require strength and durability,
is brought from other sections of the coun
try, carefully selected with a view to value
and utility felloes, for instance, being pro
cjreJ where timber is better, bent with the
grain and the wheel constructed of two
pieces, instead of being unwed against the
grain and niado of half a dozen pieces.
We notice, also, a new business added to
their ^-institution." Having steam power to
•pare and one vacant room, they are going

it
put up a couple of corn burrs, and make
meal. At present, singular as it may se. m,
is impossible to get corn meal made within
twenty miles of this city, and while corn is
25 cents per bushel, and a bushel uf corn will
stake a bushel of rueal, meal has been latterly
75 cents to $1 a bushel nnd wu hope this
l»ew arrangement may give to our people the
means of procuring this very necessary and
pleasant material for fooj h? much !. v
price tha i heretofore.
Our friend Archer is admirably calculated
to conduct such an eotablishment, and alto
gether it is such an one us reflects grea:
credit upon Keokuk manufacture*. Upon
no one thin^ can we rely so certainly for our
continued prosperity, or for the extension of
oar trade and business relations, as upon
manufacturing establishments of this kind,
and it is with th? greatest satisfaction that
we chronicle their growth among us.
John chinaman is regarded with less
favor in Australia than in California, and
tbe provincial parliament has enacted strin
gent incisures to prevent his relatives from
coming over too freely. There as every
where John does nothing to promote the in
terest of the country, has no enterprise, no
public spirit, no interest in any thing except
to expend nn little as possible and accumu
late as much :ts he can. He eatu rice with a
•harp stick at a cost of about a cent a day,
brings his baggy nankeens along with him
and makes them last as long a* he mays, and
wherever his goggle eves can discover a bit
of dust he plants himself by it till he has
exhausted every item of the treasure, hoards
it up, still poor, till he gets a favorable op
portunity to take ship in some crazy junk for
the central flowery kingdom and upend the
balance of his days nmuking opium with his
balf-duzen yellow wives. He is not of the
least service to the community, and all that
he does is simply to help burrow the earth
and exhaust it of its treasure. If we
could make.something useful of bim^if we
could brighten up bis stolid countenance
with one enterprising idea, if we could make
him understand tho possibility of such a
thing as a public policy, through which in
