The Cincinnati papers of yesterday
are filled with description of the splen-
did Fire Procession in that city on Tues
day last. Some % different fire COM
panies, embracing nearly 1000 fremen,
were in the procession Their appear
ance must have been very fine. The
Commercial says:
Yesterday will long be remembered
by the fremen, not only of this, but Of
neighboring cities, as an epoch-a min-
Cling of noble feelings and generous
courtesies. For months, preparations
had been in progress for this occasion.
and expectations, high as they were
raised, have been fully realized. To
speak of 6remen, is to speak of noble,
fearless, and selfsacrifcing class Of
citizens-men who brave the fercest
elements, to save any and all property
endangered by fire. Neither summers
heat nor winters cold appals them-at
the tap of 'tke bell,' they spring from
downy beds, TO war with the most fear
ful of the elements, and save the city
from ashes and backened piles of brick.
Another trait In the character of our
fremen is liberality. To do honor to
the occasion, no expense was spared.
Spanning the streets in front of their en-
gine houses, arches were raised, to well
come their brother fremen from neigh
boring cities, in a style of magnifcence
and taste that might have fattered julius
Cesar, on returning to Rome, after his
conquest Of Gaul. But the triumphs of
our firemen are nobler than were those
of Cesar. His brought tears and DESC
lation to the homes and hearths of thous-
ands on thousands Of families-the
fremen's, safety and joy. Actuated by
unity of purpose and feeling, and to
draw tighter the bonds of friendship,
this meeting of brothers was gotten up
to celebrate more triumphs than Alexan-
der's historians boast of"

TIE Wonders OF CALrFoRNIA.-
Professor Shepard, in giving an &C
count OF his recent exploration o
California, : portrays the country il
the following enthusiastic, alnos
romantic, style :--n.,9soa 4: has
81 have now explored California
for nearly two years. Lean truly
say il is land OF wonders. There
are fresh flowers every month in the
year, and winter now wears the
bloom of spring. / have found wa
terfalls three and four times as high
as Niagara; natural bridges, of white
marble, far surprising in beauty that
ol Rockbr;dge, Va; some thousands
of gold bearing veins, inexhaustible
quantities of iron and crome ores,
lead, bismuth and quick silver, most
beautiful porcelain clay, and, in short,
everything that can bless an indus
trious and enterprising people. In
one valley | found more than 40
springs Of over one hundred degrees
Fahrenheit. In another valley six
teen geysers, like the famous one in
Iceland. In this famous abode Of
Vulcan the rocks are so hot that YOU
can stand upon them but short time
even with thick boots on. The sill
cious rocks are bleached TO snowy
whitensss, and breccialed and con-
glomerate rocks are now actually
foaming. The roar Of geyssrs at
times may be heard a mile or more,
and the moment is one Of the most
intense interest as you approach
Them"

ARTIFICIAL LEATHER.-The Ports
mouth n. H. Journal says ga cor
respondent, who recently visited Abing-
ton, Mass, informs us, that in going into
a shop few days ago, he witnessed
another triumph of art aided and guided
by science. A steam engine of six or
eight horse power is erected for grinding
up the chips and shavings of leather
which have heretofore been burnt or
thrown away. These are ground to a
powder resembling coarse snuff, and
this powder is then mixed with certain
gums and other substances, so thorough
ly that the whole mass becomes kind
OF melted leather. In short time this
dues little, and is rolled out TO the
desired thickness-perhaps one-twentv-
fourth Of an inch. 1t is now quite solid
and it is said to be entirely water proof.
On putting the question whether it
was strong, the manufacturer cut several
strips foot long and half an inch wide,
which our informant endeavored in vain
TO break. This new-fashioned leather
vii make good middle soles for shoes,
and perhaps inner soles and would be
very durable round the shafts of a car
