Rh The designs for wall-papers, oil-cloths, carpets, the
 * fancies for goods for women, the book-binder's
 * stamps,

The brewery, brewing, the malt, the vats, every
 * thing that is done by brewers, also by wine-makers,
 * also vinegar-makers,

Leather-dressing, coach-making, boiler-making, rope-twisting,
 * distilling, sign-painting, lime-burning,
 * coopering, cotton-picking—electro-plating, electrotyping,
 * stereotyping,

Stave-machines, planing-machines, reaping-machines,
 * ploughing-machines, thrashing-machines, steam-wagons,

The cart of the carman, the omnibus, the ponderous
 * dray,

The wires of the electric telegraph stretched on land,
 * or laid at the bottom of the sea, and then the
 * message in an instant from a thousand miles off,

The snow-plough, and two engines pushing it—the
 * ride in the express-train of only one car, the
 * swift go through a howling storm—the locomotive,
 * and all that is done about a locomotive,

The bear-hunt or coon-hunt—the bonfire of shavings
 * in the open lot in the city, and the crowd of
 * children watching,

The blows of the fighting-man, the upper-cut, and
 * one-two-three,

Pyrotechny, letting off colored fire-works at night,
 * fancy figures and jets,

Shop-windows, coffins in the sexton's ware-room, fruit
 * on the fruit-stand—beef in the butcher's stall, the
 * slaughter-house of the butcher, the butcher
 * in his killing-clothes,
