THE CHARTER OAK.--All Of our citizens
venerate the Charter Oak, the grand old
tree that so completely shielded the written
charter which continued to be our organic
law until 1918. In song and story the old
oak is made famous, and thousands OF
strangers from abroad annually visit it
The tree stands upon the Wyllys place,
now owned and occupied by the Hon. I.
w. Stuart, who has kindly cared for it A
few years since some boys kindled fire
within its trunk, which burnt out most OF
the rotten parts Of it. Mr. S. soon discov-
cred the fire, and at once had il put out.
He then, at a considerable expense, had the
hollow enclosed by door, with lock and
key. He also had the stumps Of branches
that had been broken of covered with tin
and painted. The tree, from this time.
seemed to be imbued with new life-each
succeeding spring dressing itself in a richer
and dcnser foliage. On the 22d instant,
the New Haven fire companies who came
up to join their brethren in Hartford, on the
occasion of their annual muster, visited the
famous oak. They were, of course, kindly
received by Mr.. Stuart. To show them the
capacity of the tree, he invited the firemen
to enter the hollow trunk, when twenty
four Of the men belonging to Captain Me-
Gregor's company Neptune No. g. entered
together. They came out and twenty
eight of Captain Thomas's company (IVash-
ington No. 81 then entered. BY placing
twenty-eight full -grown men in an ordinary
room of a dwelling, one may judge Of the
great size of the famous old Charter Oak.

Tne Ritsr Bitten.

During recent trip Of one ofour popular
steamers from this port % New orleans
several little fancy games with cards oc.
Cured, one OF which We deem worthy oi
notice. 1t was evening, and rather pro
lniscuous company were gathered aroutt
card table in the "Social Hall near tne
clerks office. Several games Of poker, GU
chre, Sc, had come of, and the players
were about leaving the table, when very
lpenteely dressed individual who appeared e
be too nearly intoxicated to know exactly
what he was doing, offered to bet any per
son S25 that he could "cnt Jack the
first time. Ayerdant speclment OF the ma
tiycs OF Arkansas took him up and The
stakes were deposited in the hands OF al
accomrl &c Of the challenger, bu, whom o
conrse he .never seen before" The cards
were then shufled and the latter parsonage
took our Jack knife and cut the whole
pack in two in the middle. He claimed
that he had thus won the bet, BY cutting
Jack the first time. The stake holder de.
cided that he had won the bet fairly, and
handed him over the money. None OF the
by-standers interfered to prevent such
barcfaced robbery. not liking 70 get into
u HluSS loI ~ btCSH }" 'Nsso'
clerk was busy in the office at the time, but
saw the whole proceeding, and resolved on
retaliation.
He went quietly to the bar and requested
the barkceper to remeve the Jacks from
pack Of cards and do them up again so as
not to be noticed, and ii he sent for pack
to send him that one. He then went into
the Office to his writing again for few min
utes, or until the contention about the pre-
yious bet should calm down little, and then
as If Just noticing the affair went out and
inquired what was the meaning of SO much
talk about cutting Jack. The winner in
formed HIN that he had Just won S25 on the
bet that he could cut Jack the first time.
The clerk told him that that was piece of
luck which could not happen often; that he
was somewhat conyersant with cards him
self and would bet him fifty dollars he could
not cut Jack the first time again
The blackleg thinking he had got another
victim eagerly took the bet, and the
clerk took care thai. the stakes were not
in the hands Of an accomplish Of his oppo-
nent.
Enthusiastically to prevent fraud by
stacking of cards--he sent to the bar for
new pack. When they were brought he
was requested 10 shuttle them, which he
did, and then handed them to his opponent,
who, as in the first case, took jack-knifc
and cut them in two. On being asked
What he did that for, he replied that the bet
vas that he could cut Jack the first time
md he rather though he had not only cut one
lack but four.
Tie clerk told him that that was very
unusual method Of cutting JACKIE, but that
1t all events he would like to see those ,
lacks before he paid the bet The feelings
il the gentleman can be imagined when he
lealt off the last card without coming to a
ack and found that he was sold. The
Jerk handed over $25 TO the ARKANSAS
Traveller" with little good advice, and
ut the other $25 in his own pocket for his

How India-rubber shoes arc made.

Contrary TO the general impression, In
dia-rubber, in the process Of manufacturing,
is not melted, but is passed through heated
iron rollers, the heaviest OF which weighs
twenty tons, and thus worked or kneaded,
as dough- is at a bakery. The rubber is
nearly ali procured from the mouth of the
Amazon, in Brazil, to which point il i &c at
from the interior. It's form upon arrival,
Is that OF jug or pouch. as tias natives use
clay mou!ds OF that shape, which they re-
peatedly dip into the liquid chautchouc; un.
I'll o coating Of the desired thickness accu-
muiates, when the clay is broken, and emp
tied out. The rubber after being washed,
chopped fine, and rolled to a putty-like con-
sistency, is mixed with compound of me.
,aiiic substances, principally whitehead and
sulphur, to give it body or firmness. Those
sheets designed for the soles of shoes, are
passed under rollers having diamond fig
ured surface. From these the soles are cut
by hand, and the several pieces required to
perfect the shoe are put togetherb by females
on last The natural adhesion OF the rub
Der, joins the seams. The shoes are next

holding about two thousand pair, and heat
/
they remain seven or eight hours. This is
called the "vulcanizing'' process, by which
the rubber, 10 hardened
A large quantity Of cotton cloth and cot
ton Aanneli is used to line shoes, and ia ap-
piled to the surface of the rubber while YET
in sheets. Not particle OF any of these
materials is lost. The scraps Of rubber ar,
remelted, and the bits Of cloth arc chopped
up with small quantity Of rubber, and rol
led out into substance resembling paste
board, to form the inner sole. The profit,
of this business have been somewhat cur
tailed Of late by the prevailing high price o
rubber which has varied within a wear from
4 twenty to sixty cents per pound The de
