*tw Paper Mill of the Chlrkn»axv bogue
«— fac urliijj Compiusjr of Mobile Ala.
This splendid establishment—situated
a fcw rods west of the track of the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad, at Beaver Mea
dow, twenty-six miles from this, city—
w** formally inaugurated on Wednesday
12th of Eebruary, 18(38, and is now in
•ucoeesful opera!ion. It is the result of
ftrictl; Southern enterprise, energy aud
capital. There are hut few mills in the
United States of greater capacity, aud a
atill leas number which affords within its
walla the combination of room and conve
nience so evident at a glance—as this one.
Convenience is economy in time and labor
and that is ono of the chief points
atenüy kept in view by tho master
ehanie who superintended the arrange
ment of the machinery aud details of the
mill, and most happily has succeeded.
The building consists of a machine
room 102 feet by 30 feet, and a basement
under the rag engine room 40 feet by 80
fceL—tho whole enclosed by a wall of red
sandstone procured in the immediate vicin
ity. A division wall separates the ma
chine room—in which the paper is made—
from the basement in which are situated
the steam engine, main line of shafting,
and the draiuers in which the pulp is
bleached witli chlorine before it is ground
fine enough for paper. The rag engine
room is 40 feet by 80 feet, built of wood,
with rag room above of
whole building is much better lighted and
ventilated than is customary, having an
unusual number of large windows—those
in the machine room being arched and
adding much to the beautiful
of the building.
The machinery consists of two boilers
«6 feet long, 44 inches in diameter, and
four flues each ; one small doctor steam
engine for driving boiler pumps, and one
large steam engine of eighty-horse power
—cylinder 18 inches diameter with 36
inches stroke, and 18 feet diameter, fly
wheel for driving the rag engines. The
steam engines are beautiful specimens of
workmanship, and together with the steam
boilers, were built by the elebrated firm
of Ainslie, Coehrau & Co. Louisville, Ky.
The large rotary boiler, 20 feet long by
8 feet diameter, used for boiling paper
atoek, waa also procured from the above
firm,

fo»r hours tho rags have become
pulp—which is then emptied from the en
«"•*■*> 'he drainer/ with bleach,ng
powders and vitriol added, where the pulp
undergoes the process of bleaohing and
becomes pure white. It is then taken
? ut *)" draincr » » nd P"' >"*> the be » 1 -
tag engines and ground fine enough for
making paper, and then emptied into a
large cistern in the machine room below.
The machine- so termed- is s large
and beautiful one, of the kind denomina
ted Foudrinier, named after the inventor,
a Frenchman, and is the best kind in use
for manufacturing paper. It is 72 inches
wide, with seven lurge drivers 28 inches
diameter each, which are heated by steam
and drieB the paper as it
them, and are so arranged that either Jhc
exhaust steam from the steam engine or
live steam from the boilers can be used for
the purpose. Ten fine iron Callenders
give a beautiful surface to the paper as it
passes between them after it is dried and
before being cut into sheets. The ma
chine is about four feet high and sixty
eight feet long, but from the numerous
turns around rolls, drivers and Callen
ders, the paper has to pass over about 125
feet space before if is completed. The
weight of the machine exclusive of shaft
ing is about fifteen tons, and is set up
ten inch square timbers, which are laid on
solid stone walls two feet thick.
From one to two and a half tons of
paper per day of twenty-four hours can be
made on the machine, according to the
size and thickness of the paper, and speed
at wbioh the machine is run. From the
machine the paper is counted by hand and
tied up in bundles ready for market.
As the success of a manufacturing es
tablishment of almost any kind depends
greatly upon the manner in which it is
built, the Directors of the Company dis
played much wisdom and prudence in the
selection of the proper person to construct
their beautiful mill. Mr. Wm. II. Sprntt,
a gentleman of great experience and abil
ity, who has works at Elkton, Cecil county,
Maryland, is the person to whom they
entrtistcd their work ; and most dilligcnt
ly has he and his corps of thorough ma
chinists labored, and faithfully executed
their task. Everything which passed
through their hands bears the stamp of a
finished competent workman ; and the
beautiful overshot water wheel, built, by
Mr. Sprntt, which drives the machine—a
little giant, 26 feet high, by 2} feet wide,
is a perfect model of strength, beauty and
accuracy.
As tho South will undoubtedly soon
cuter largely into manufactures of various
kinds, any person or Company wishing
the services of an "A No. 1" millwright
and mechanic will do well to preserve Mr.
Spratt's address,—as he is considered by
competent judges ono of the best mechan
ical engineers of this country.— Mobile

It was many years ago, prior to the
Revolution, when the good old laws of
hanging people for numberless crimes (for
which a short imprisonment answers now
a-days) were in full vogue, that a small
party were gathered one bright moonlight
night in an eating cellar in tho city of
New York, around an old table, from
which the steam rose to the ceiling
left the surface of a large dish of soup set
in its centre. The party appeared
merry hurnof ; and ns three noted char
acters had that dav swung from the scaf
fold, the topic of the conversation natur
ally turned upon the execution.
" Old Jake died game, at all events,"
said one of the men.
" I'm 'fraid that's mor'n you'll do,
tortedanother.
" I don't fear death in any shape,'
plied the first speaker.
" You don't hey," suddenly chimed in
a third person.
" No I don't, nor I can't be scared ei
ther," was the bragging answer.
" You can't, hump!—allow me M doubt
that, will you," sneered his opponent.
' ' If you don't believe it, you are freely
privileged to test me, but mind you the
consequences be on your own head, not
mine."
" Well, we'll see.

" Not as much as living ones."

" Are you in earnest?"
" Never more so in my life ; there's the
money—let us see you cover it."
The boaster put his hand in bis pocket,
drew forth a well filled wallet, and placed
tweutv dollars more upon the table.
" Then you take the bet !" exclaimed
his opponent with surprise.

The preliminaries were soon all arran

person
with whom he haul bet was a ventriloquist ;
and no sooner had he left the house than
his opponent also departed, taking a short
by-way to the scaffold, by which
he reached the place three or four minutes
in advanoa of the soup-feeder, and getting
under it, took his station behind one of
the posts and awaited his coming. In a
few moments the bragger appeared, and
when at the foot of the steps he looked
cautiously around him, and then quickly
ascended and stood beside one of tiffs
corpses.. The winds moaned and the
chains creaked as the bodies
mean«
swung to
and fro ; but without hesitation the boas
ter seised the spoon and raised it full of
soup to the dead man's lips. Now was
the ventriloquist's time. As the handle
of the spoon was raised, the corpse sud
denly exclaimed, in the sapulohral tones
of tiie dead—' ' It's hot !"
" Well, d—n you, blow it then!

he eoolly lowered the spoon, descended tlio

The ventriloquist also made trucks for
the same place, and fully testified that the
bet had been fairly won, and swearing
that after what had taken place, his oppo
nent might brag as much as he pleased, but
he wouldn't get another wager out of him.
