New TANNING MATERIAL.-It is stated
in the Maine Farmer that premium Yas
awarded at the State Fair for calf skin
tanned by the use of sweet fern. If it is
true that this hitherto useless shrub which
so abounds in our pastures can thus be ap-
piled to beneficial purpose. tremendous
saving will be made by the operation. The
skins were tanned in one week, and had the
appearance of the best French calf-skin.

WOODEN CAEEoE BALLs.-A Russian cor
respondent of the Rochester Uision related
the following anecdote of the Russian Gar,
which shows that not even Emperors are
exempt from the operations of sharpers:
''The Emperor Alexander gave large
order for the manufacture of cannon halls
to some concern at Helsingfors, port on
the Gulf They completed the order. stacked
up and delivered the balls, received their
pay, and put the money IN their pocket
The Emperor being there one day, be took
it inio his head to inspect the balls. Taking
one up. he discovered it to be exceedingly
light for iron. and taking out his knife. be

WALL STREET AND THE ALBANY LOBBY
While protesting to be much shocked at the ras-
calities of Wall street. Thurlow Weed is evil
IDENTIFY sorry that he does not have 80 fair
chance In tho temple of Plutus Is In the lobby
at Albany or Washington. He compares the
gentlemen of the street" with the gentlemen
Of the road" such as "Claude Duval and Dick
Turpin." he icks his lips over the "diffe-
rences of millions Of dollars" and the time sales
of seventeen thousand shares of New York Gem
trail and nineteen thousand of Chicago and Rock
Island. Then Thurlow has q little virtuous in
dignation against the stock gamblers, who, he
says, care just now violent In their patriotism,
and greatly DESTROYS for summary vengeance
upon the British cruisers who have touched
the national honor" and winds up with
some advice gratis to people who hold sound
stocks for permanent investment, hoping they
will not sacrifice them to the "sharpers."
However sharp" they may be In Wall street,
we think that Thulow's operations at Washing
ton have been equally keen. His exemplars-
Claude Duval and Dick Turpin-we have no
knowledge of, and never heard that they took
five thousand dollar brides, and then talked
cant against their fellow thieves. Thurlow

he is very much disguised at being debarred
from any share of the spoils of Wall street

already sowing the seeds Of revolution In Cen
trail America, by setting he servile party there
wild in their views; and we have little doubt
that the time is not far distant when all parties
will call upon the United States government to
arrange matters in those republics, or else sue
cumb to the filibusters. Nothing could sooner
erase the memsry of the mistakes of Walker
from the minds of the people in Central Anne
RIGA than the policy Napoleon, Palmerston,
Belly d Co. propose to pursue there.
But we must enter protest against this mis-
representation of the American policy by the
Pslmerstonisn organ. So far from having the
objects ascribed to it by Palmerston, its aims are
directly the reverse; it wishes to establish the
freedom, safety and equality of trade and
commercial transit everywhere. The whole
history of the United States foreign policy
proves this Nowhere has it asked or
dreamed of obtaining exclusive privileges
1t has always looked to the participation of the
whole world in the concessions it has demanded
from Asiatic and European exclusivism. 1t has
taken always the lead in establishing the great
principles that are now the safeguard Of the
commercial world. "Free bottoms make free
goods" is an American theory, and its admis-
sion is due to American perseverance. The
American policy cleared the Mediterranean Of
AIgerine pirates-opened Japan to the world
swept away the Sound dues established by the
old vikings of Denmark-is now implored to ig
more the Stadt duties on the Elbe-hss set forth
its principle of guidance in the Isthmus policy
that geographical position gives no right to
any nation to impose 0nerous taxes on COM
merce for the right of transit-and even now it
is asserting the freedom of every flag from de-
tention and annoyance upon the sea by British
arrogance and impudence. Wherever the Ame-
rican flag waves, or the American policy pre-
walls, man has the right to 60 and come I'M
questioned and untaxed We ask not what flag
he bears, or what country he calls his own. The
American policy recognizes the superiority of
man to the accident of birth; that no country or
land has right to claim, or restrain, or to
rob him.
These are views, and this is q policy,
that do not accord with Palmersto-
MAN ideas of government or Nspoleonic
aspirations for empire. They believe that the
great masses Of the people are born ready sad
died and with bits in their mouths, and that the
Palmerstons and Napoleens come into the
world ready booted and spurred, with the "di-
vine right to ride them. In these Central
American countries the merchants of England
and of Europe will never be secure from attack
and spoliation until the American policy is ex-
tended over them. They are now sowing the
seed of bitter experience there, and we trust
our government will not interfere with the
post prandial efforts of the Belly diplomacy
until the world has judged of il by its fruits.
AS for the stockholders of the French Bourse,
they are of the same feather with our Wall
street birds. They all belong to the same spe-
elsewhere the carrion lies there will the vui-
lures gather.

THuRLow WEED ON THE "PRorRrErrEs."-
The Albany Evening Journal grows lachrymose
over the sale Of ex President Fillmore's car
risge, which was presented to him by his politi-
cal friends. Weed asks, "Can II be truei
Would an cx-President Of the United States
thus disregard the preprieties Of refined and

that which he employs in requesting the protects

The signs of trouble in France are thicken-

The end may not yet be near; but an intelligent

the citizen nothing.
