FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1885.

Of this alarming distrust that a letter ad
dressed as mine is, and suggesting to the
mind of the Executive the plain obligations
Of man, has buresque character in the
apprehension Of some of my friends. |, sir,
will not beforehand treat you with the
contumely of this distrust. l will at least
state to you this fact and shew you how
plain and humane people whose love would
be honor, regard the policy of the Govern
ment, and what Injurious differences they
draw as to the mind of the Governors. A
man with your experience in affairs must
have seen cause to appreciate the futility Of
opposition to the moral sentiment. How.
ever feeble the sufferer, and however great
the oppressor, it is in the nature Of things
that the blow should recoil on the aggres.
sor. For God is in the sentiment, and il
cannot be wthstood. The potentate and
the people perish before it; but with it,
and as it's executors, they are omnipotent.
l write thus, sir, to inform you of the
state Of mind these Indian tidings have
awakened here, and to pray with one voice
more that you whose hands are strong with
the delegated power of fifteen millions oil
men will avert with that might the terrific
injury which threatens the Cherokee tribe
With great respect, Sir,
am your fellow-citizen,
RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

SOAP MAKING,

When solution Of potash-or lye-is
deprived of carbonic acid, or rendered
caustic, it readily combines with animal
fat, and forms the compound, called soft
soap. When both the ingredients are. in
a proper condition, and in due quantity,
there is no difficulty in making soap.
The strength of the lye. TO combine
readily with the grease, should be such as
to float new laid heniaAgg.
10 order TO have soa p mild as possible,
there should be os much grease as the I've
will dissolve, in which case the soap will
be smooth or salve.like. and more conve-
nient for washing than when 1t is hard, or

DESCRIPTION OF THE BORAX
LAGOONS OF TUSCANY.

The Borax lagoons Of Tuscany are
entitled to detailed description. Thew
are unique in Europe, If not in the world ;
and thel. produce has become an article OF
equal importance to Great Britain, as an
import, and to Tuscany, as an export.
They are spread over a surface of about
thirty miles, and exhibit, from the distance,
columns Of vapor, more or less according
to the season of the year and state of the
weather, which rise in large volumes
amongst the recesses Of the mountains.
As you approach the lagoons, the earth
appears to pour out boiling water as from
volcanoes Of various sizes, in a variety of
soil, but principally of chalk and sand.
The heat in the immediate adacency is
intolerable, and you are drenched by the
vapour which lmpregnates the atmosphere
with a strong and somewhat sulphurous
smell. The whole scene is one of terrible
violence and coniusion-lhe noisy outbreak
OF the boiling element the rugged and
agltated surface-the volumes of vapour--
the impregnated osphere--the rush of
waters among the bleak and solitary noun
talns. The ground, which burns and
shakes beneath your feet, is covered with
beautiful crystallzations of sulphur and
other minerals. The character beneath
the surface at Mount Cerbole is that of
the black mari slreaked with chalk, giving
it at a short DISTANCE the appearance of
varlegaled marble. Formerly the place
was regarded by The peasants as the en-.
trance to hell. a superstition, derived, no
doubt from very ancient times; for the
principal lagoons and tho nelgbborng VOL
cano still bear the name Of Monte Cerboe,
Mons Csrbsri.) The peasantry never
pass by the spot without turning their
heads and praying for the protection of
the virgin. The boraX lagoOns have been

liver, BY adding TO we'll made soap, about
an equal quantity Of water: this is what
soap makers call sophisiicating it.
Those who wish to make hard or bar
soap for family use, can easily do il. They
have only TO take a quantity of clean, well
made, soft soap, boil it, and BY degrees add
common salt till it curdIes, after which they
should allow it to cool, when the hard
soap will be upon the top; this may now
DC taken off, and The bottom cleared from

ter. AS this is point in which house,
Keepers sometimes fail, il may be worth
while to give, in this place, few general
directions.
A barrel with one head is usually made
use OF as leach. Into this should be out
one peck of fresh burnt Stacked lime. and
the barrel filed with ashes. Water should
oe put upon the top, and allowed to filter
through till most of the potash contained
IN them has been separated. The obiec,
IN putting the lime at the bottom of the
cask IS that the I've may pass through it,
and that thus it may deprive it of any car.
bonlc acid it may contain. and which would
prevent 1t from combining with the grease
and forming soap. Lime has a stronger
affinity ito use the language of the chem
sts' and making soap is chemical process
for carbonic acid than potash has, there
tore It Will retain it when leached through
It and allow the potash or lye to run off in
its pure caustic state.
There is one thing more, besides car.
bonlc acid, which is in the wav of MAKING
good soap. 1t is the salt which is otter
mixed with the grease. This should be
carefully separated by boiling it in a kettle
with quantity of water, by which mean;
the salt will unite with the water, and leave
the grease in proper condition for mixing
with the lye.-With proper care to free
the I've from carbonic acid, and the grease
from salt, barrel Of fine soap NAV be
made to every fifteen or twenty pounds o
grease.
Ii those who make soap would stud,
chemistry thoroughly, and attend to the
foregoing plain rules, we should probabl,
hear little more about "bad luck" "tht
