The United States Economist estimates the
consumption of boots and shoes in tbe United
States at seventy-six million pairs per wear.
v:,ued at eight million dollar,. About twelve
million pairs are made in Massacbusetts-one.
half of them in Lynn. The Economist men
tons as remarkable circumstance in this con
neetion, that notwithstanding the immense ex-
tent of the shoe and boot manufacture, and the
army OF persons engaged in it, neither boot nor.
shoe makers figure in the last census, though
shoe fAders and shoo-peg makers do. There is
no branch OF manufacture conducted with such
poor economy as that of boots and shoes. 1t is
within bounds to say that one-third of the
leather made into boots and shoes is dead loss
on account of the imperfect manner in which
they are manufactured. Witness the heaps Of
halt-worn and ripped shoes in every attic. 1t
is this waste of material that has appreciated the
price of leather and all articles made from il,
very rapidly within few wears. And il is a
waste that is in the end bad economy for the
manufactures well as the purchasers.

In the South, where the Pole-star shines not,
but the cross is reared high, the inspiring en-

perpetually drills his battling forces, that they
may be ready to assail whatever venturous

Overhead, as if canopies for his throne, blaze
the wondrous consultations of the Southern

splendors of the southern cross, to the ancients
