A New Wrinkle in shoemaking.

Yesterday afternoon, something of q
curiosity in the shape Of a shoe was ex-
hibi;ed by a gentleman in the lower part
of the city 1t appears that few days
ago he purchased couple of pairs ot
shoes for his two little boys, and yesterday
one OF them told him that bis shoes were
worn out. Mr.. NJ, on examining the ar
tiole in question, found splinter sticking
out from under the sole, which he suppos.
ed was tho result OF sliding on boards,
the boy therefor. and was
about proceeding to the shoemakers for
the purpose Of having them repaired.
when the extraordinary stiffness and hard
ness of the sole attracted his attention.
On closer inspection, he found the entire
bottom of the shoe, with the exception of
an outer covering Of very thin and poor
leather, TO be composed Of thick cedar
shingle, inserted in lieu Of leather!-New

Manufacture of Rubber Shoes,

Contrary to the general impression.
India-rubber, insthe process of manufac-
turing, is not melted, but is passed through
heated iron rollers, the heaviest OF which
ssssigh- twenty. .ons..and thus worked or
kneaded as dough is at a bakery. The
rubber is nearly all procured from the
mouth OF the Amazon, in Brazil, to which
point it is sent from the interior. Its form.
upon arrival, is that of jug or pouch, as
the natives use olay moulds of that shape,
which they repeatedly dip into the liquid
caoutchouc until a coating OF the desired
thickness accumulates, when the clay is
broken and empiied out. The rubber,
after being washed, chopped fine, and
rolled to a pu,ty.like consistency, is mixed
with a compound of metallic substances,
principally white lead and sulphur. TO give
it body or frmness. Those sheets de-
signed for the soles OF shoes. are passed
under rollers having diamond figured
surface. From these the soles are cut by
hand, and the several pieces required to
perfect the shoe, are pat together by fe-
males on last. The natural adhesion OF
the rubber joins the seams. The shoes
are next vanished and baked in an oven
capable Of holding about two thousand
pairs and heated to about three hundred
degrees. where they remain seven or eight
hours. This is called the "vulcanizing'
process, by which the rubber is hardened.
large quantity of cotton cloth and cot.
ton flannel, is used to line shoes, and is
applied TO the surface of the rubber while
it is yet in sheets. Not particle OF any
of these materials is lost. The scraps OF
rubber are remel,ed and the bits Of cloth
are chopped up with small quantity OF
rubber and rolled out into substance re.
sembling pasteboard to form the inner
sole. The profits of this business have
been somewhat curtailed of late by the
prevailing high price of rubber. which has
varied within year from twenty to sixty
cents per pound. The demand. however,
is very large. A species Of rubber-shoe
lined with flannel is extensively used in
some parts Of the country as substitute
for the leathern shoe.

The man that don't take a newspaper
has been in town lately, as we learn from
"a contemporary. He brought the whole
family in two.horse wagon. He still
believed that General Taylor was Presi-
dent, and wanted TO know if the "Kams-
chatkians" had taken Cuba, and if so,
WHERE they had taken it. He had sold
his corn for twenty five cents. the price
being thirty -one-but upon going to de-
posit the money, they told him it was
mostly counterfeit. The only hard money
he had was some three-cent pieces, and
those some sharper had run on him" for
half. dimes! His old lady smoked ''cob
ppe,' and would not believe that anything
else could be used. One Of the boys
went to blacksmith shop to be measur-
ed for pair OF shoes. and another mis-
took the market house for a church. Al
ter hanging his hat on q meat.hook. he
piously took seat in a butchers stall,
and listened to an auciioneer whom he
took to be the preacher. He left before
"meetin' was out," and had no great
opinion OF the .'sarmint."

The, Disappearance of Gold.

Gold comes in abundance from Califor.
MA with every fresh arrival, yet there is
still scarcity OF the precious metals
What becomes Of the gold is as much a
mystery to most people as it is TO a house,
keeper what becomes Of the pins. The
supply is constant and large, but though
poured in such profusion into the market,
i, disappears Immediately. tits not heap
ed up in the vaults of the banks; il is not
dispersed and Infused into the circulation.
We want sufficient metallic basis for our
bank notes; we want a supply of metallic
change. Whittier does it 60? There is a
class of political economists who tell US
that i, has gone to England 10 pay for the
goods we have bought OF the British man
ufacturers.
We inquire for it in England, but with
nearly the same i'll success. The people
of that country do not acknowledge that
they have our gold. There is a greater
proportion of it in circulation than there is
with us, for the reason that>there are no
small notes to take its place; but there is
no accumulation Of the precious metals in
the Bank of England. On the contrary.
the quantity is decreasing with alarming
rapidly. By the arrival of yesterday,
from Liverpool, we were informed that the
amount in the Bank of England was eigb-
ty thousand pounds less, when the steamer
left the port. than it was only week be-
fore. Ii cannot be inferred, therefore, that
because specie is scarce here, it has gone
to England. We do not find our gold
there; and are, therefore, obliged to infer
that those political philosophers are under
a delusion who imagine that the tariff of
1916 has carried it off to pay for British
goods.
The question will again be asked, what
has become of il? What became of the
rain that fell last week? The earth is
again dry, but we do not infer for iha,
reason that the water that fell from the
clouds has gone to feed the Nile; We all
know that the greater part Of it is absorb
ed into the ground. The precious metals
at the present moment are absorbed into
thousand private boards, as is always
the case when people begin to mistrust the
Banks, and to lose their confidence in
private credit. At those times coin seems
to take itself ont Of the way as if endow.
ed with kind Of animal instinct. Those
who are familiar with country life have
seen with what suddenness a brood ol
young patridges, when the mother gives
the alarm, hurry out OF sight and .ensconce
themselves in different hiding places. Il
is just so with coin when an alarm re.

themselves in secre: drawers. We re.
