Col, Benton.

In tribute to the public and private
character of Col. Benton, the AeU York 7ri-
June speaks in The following just terms of
his domestic virtues and his incorruptibility

man is also deserving OF very hlgh PRAISE

nor for any individual advantages IN any
way. lie advocated and opposed public
measures on the ground OF what he consid'

feeling, as, no doubt, at times they were, 6u
we believe he was always true to his convic-
tions. OF venality and corruption in legis

during the thirty years of his Senatorial life

Secret of Tanning Horses.

4 correspondent of the New York Ex-
press submits tie following method of horse
tanning:
For the oil OF Cummin the horse has an
instructive passion, and when the horse
scents the odOr he is instinctively drawn to-
wards it. The oil of RhodIum possesses pc
cuiar properties. All animals seem to cher
ish fondDess for 1t, and it exercises a kind
OF subdGing influence over them.
To tame horses procure some horse castor
and crate it fine. also get some oil OF Rho-
dunn, and oil of Cummn, and keep the three
separate in air tight bottles. Rub u little ell
of Cummin on your hands and approach the
horse in the field, on the windward side, SC
that hc can smell the Cummin. The horse
will let you come up To him without any
trouble. Immediately rub your hand gent
ly on the horses nose, getting Il little of The
oil on it. You can then lead INN anywhere.
Give hun u little castor on a piece OF loai
sugar or apple. Put eighs drops of oil o
Rhodium into a lady's silver thimblc; taxi
the tEimblc between the thumb and middle
finger of your right hand, with your fore
finger stopping the mouth of the thimbe, L
prevent the oil from running out while yoI
are opening the horses mouth. AS soQn a'
you have opened it, tip the thimble on In

public life of Gen. Cass and Col. Benton, the
Cincinnati Gazette remarks:
"Bcnton died poor. Cass is millionaire.

servant of the people. TIE latter may have
always kept within the lettes of the law, but

riches"

A New Establishment

Among the new and important enter
prises in our city, is the large cooperage
establishment Of MesSrs. James Oakley
6 Sons, on the canal, in the upper part
Of the city, in which nearly all the labo>
rious part of the work, by the old pro-
cess, is done by machinery. The slaves
are in the first instance sawed from b',cks
Of wood, by saw placed upon tic edge
of cylinder, which cuts them to CIV
en- thickness as they may be wanted for
kegs, -four or pork barrels, and as the
cut of the saw corresponds to the form
of the cylinder the slaves have the cir
cular bevel that fits them to the shape
of the barrel, as they come from the saw.
They are shaved and jointed by machin-
cry. The heads are sawed, matched,
and cut circular by machines. There is
little to do after the material has passed
the machinery, but to put it together and
drive the hoops. When in complete OPP
Grafton the cooperage will turn out one
hundred whisky and pork barrels per
day, and give employment to 20 or 80
men. The barrels produced by these
machines are far more perfect, uniform
and more highly finished than those
made by hand. The abundance OF ma
terial and the facilities of getting 1T
by canal, river and railroad, and tho
large demand for the products for the
supply OF our Touring mills, dlstll,
leries and pork houses, makes this
most favorable point for the enterprise IL
which the Messrs. Oakleys are engaged,
and from which they can scarcely fail tc
reap large returns. They have made
large investment Of capital, and created
an additional demand for labor, and thu
weekly sums they will distribute vii
form one Of the rills that make up thu
current Of our prosperity as city.

The BANKRUPT Built is not prob
able that Congress will now undertake
to discuss and perfect any important
general law, before its adjournment; and
the Bankrupt bill which has been pre-
pared by committee of the Senate, will
probably fail with others for the want of
time. Public opinion, which condemned
the act of 1910, appears to have under
gone change, and there is apparently
an almost unanimous demand for a law
that shall, at least, apply to merchants
and corporations. The bill under the
consideration of the Committee. will not
be retroactive; it will be confined to ira
ders, and will include corporations other
than municipal. Upon the question
whether the act should apply to parties
who may voluntarily go into bankrupt
cy, or shall be compulsory upon the de-
mand of creditors, the committee was
equally divided. Several motions have
been made in committee to test its sense
upon the principles of the measure.

CTThe German papers in most Of the
slave States are bold advocates Of eman-
cipation. In Missouri the Germans are
taking the lead in the movement in favor
Of free labor. The Germans in Texas
are the open and jealous advocates OF
free labor, and they are already so strong,
as to leave little doubt that, whenever a
new State shall be formed in Western
Texas, it will be a free State. In Balti-
more German paper, called the Balti-
more IVecker, opposes slavery, and even
