sHoW Furs are Prepnred {


A correspondent of the Scientific Amer
lean thus describes the process;
The process that has been used these last
thirty years, both in Germany and Eng
land, is as follows:
When the furs come from the hunter, in
the raw state, TO the furriers they are sor-
ted over and then prepared for tanning I;
the term we use is 'leathering" They are
CREASED with common grease, on the lesth-
er side, and then put into tub large
enough for a man TO get into and work
easily at them. A cloth is then bound
around the mana waste so as to keep the
steam in the tub, and the skins are then
worked by the feet until warm, which
takes an hour or more; they are sfterward
taken out and CREASED again; when the
skin and grease are worked again few
hsudfulls of mahogany sawdust are thrown
in and worked to leather. When the skins
are leathered they are taken out and pull
ed through a rope; they are then picked
over night'in water and sawdust, and in the
morning they are ready for the hesher.
When feshed they are hung up to dry,
then creased again, and leathered oEce
more they are then taken out and the
fur Gombed, well beaten al d drawn over
the knife, or "pared as we call it. The
skins are again put into the tub with plen-
tyOf fresh, clean sawdust, and worked into
the sawdust until the fur is perfectly freed
from grease. 1t may be necessary to change
it two or three times. The fur is tnen Ia
ken out and we'll beaten and corned, and
it's then ready for the cutter. This is the
way all furs are dressed, from the muskrat
to the Russian sable. Buffalo and bear
skins are dressed in somewhat different
style, but still under the same general pro-
cess

Recruiting associations.


Our suggestions few days ago to anti
cipate the draft, if such may come, ByTe-
cruitng associations, areattracting attention
in this city and elsewhere. After making
them we discovered that the scheme has
already been inaugurated in Cincinnati.
The object of the Association formed in
Cincinnati is to obtain men while there
is no excitement and when active competi-
tion has not run up the price of recruits to
an exOrbitant figure. Theplanis designed
also to break up entirely the business now
in the hands of substitute brokers. The
plan adopted at Cincinnati we cordially
commend to those in our city, who, by
their energy and efficient labors to fill up
the army heretofore, have made themselves
conspicuous. The resolutions organizing
the Recruiting Association of Cincinl ati
are as follows;
l. That the citizens organize District
Recruiting Association, to continue during
the war.
2. That the organization shall consist of
one representative from each ward and
election precinct in fhe First District, who
shall meet on Monday, the Dist inst, at 3
P. NJ, at the Office of the Provost Marshal,
for permanent organization.
3. That the chairman and secretary of
the meeting publish call the citizens of
each subdistIict to meet at their respective
places of voting on Saturday evening, the
18th inst, to elect one representative to
the central organization, and this meeting
recommends that, On the same evening,
subscriptions be solicited OF the amount
each person is willing to give every month
for the continuance OF active recruiting in
the First District.
4. The association shall determine the
amount of local bounty to be paid each re-
cruit, and the amount 50 agreed upon shall
be paid to the recruit in person.
5. When recruit is mustered into the
service, copy of the muster-roll, properly
certified to by the mastering officer, shall
be forwarded with him 10 the Treasurer
stating that he has been mustered into the
service and credited to the district, on pre-
sentatiou of which, the Treasurer shall pay
to he recruit the amount directed by the
association, taking his receipt therefor.
6. Should there be another call for
troops and draft ordered, the credits to
be distributed between the sub districts in
proportion TO the amount Of funds furnish
ed by each.
I Z. Should the amount required to consti-
tute membership be more than ali of the
citizens can afford who wish TO Join the as
sOciation, any number not exceeding five,
may club together to pay the amount so
required, and said club TO be entitled to
one vote.
8. That subscription books be opened in
each ward and township, and committees
appointed to solicit subscriptions immedi-
ately, and the number, names and resi-
dence of members, with the amount each
subscribes to be reported to the Secretary
of the association weekly.
9. That a premium of - dollars be
paid for the presentation Of an acceptable
recruit credited to the district.

This new rifle, description Of which
was given in our columns some two weeks
since, was again tested on Saturday after
noon at Flatbush L. l., in the presence of
q large number of experts, including seve-
raj distinguished officers of the British and
American armies. As it has been supposed
thatits success, hereafter might be attrib-
uted to the great skill of Colonel Berdan,
as workman, an expert who was a stran-
ger to him was selected on this occasion by
the officers present to aim and fire the
rifles. The target was placed al a distauce
of three quarters of mile,snd was struck
by the Berdsn rife seven times out of TWEEN
ty The Whitworth, the Wesley Richards
and the Shsrps rifles, were then fired, with
out reaching the target.
The penetrating power OF the gun was
then tested, in comparison with large
number of others, including the Spencer
repeater, Clark's, Stars, Shsrps', the En-
field and the Springfield. These penetra-
ted from 10 to Is oue-inch boards, the lat
ter number being that Of Sharps rife. The
English Whitworth perforated 234, and
the Berdan 81.
The capacity of the Berdan gun for vol
ley firing was next exhibited, at distance
of two hundred yards. The target was
struck rapidly and repeatedly, the car
fridge in this instance containing three
balls, which uniformly spread over dis
lance of about five feet.
The exhibition WAS regarded as estab-
fishing the full equality Of the Berdan-
rife with the Whitworth at long range,
while by the use Of the three round balls it
is made equally efficient at short range,
and has ali the capacity for rapid firing of
breeeh-loader-s combination of quali-
ties which has heretofore been deemed i'm
possible, and which, when its moderate
cost is considered, places the new rife far
In advance of any other as an infantry
weapon.-N 7. Post.

FedernI Rondstn germany.

A correspondent Of the London Lpder
writing from Germany is very much
troubled about the manner in which the
Germans are buying up our GOverumen
bonds, and also over the fact that SO many
young men in Germany are disposed to
come to this country and enlist in the ar
mics of the Union. According to this
writer the Germans are yesy unwise in
investing their surplus funds in such IN
stable stocks as those Of the United States,
and their young men are deceived. The
truth Is, however, the Germans are wiser
than the John Bulls who own three and
half per cent stock in the Bank of Eng
lard, or in the national debt. The stub
born Englishma7 is rather jealous Of the
good fortaao Of his German neighbors who
. are buying six per cent gold bearing bonds
for just half price, thus realizing as much
as twelve per cent on the dollar in gold.
The renewed indications that the govern
ment intends 10 maintain its financial ID
tegrity viii give new impetus to the
pnrohase of Federal securities in Germany
The Germans are wise, just as our own
people are in investing in Government
Bonds.

the MOral Effect Of the Recent Ele''

ton.
The effect Of the overwhelming triumph
Of the Union men in the recent election,
has been to put quietus on the feverish
hostility to the war which has been at
work in the loyal States during the past
four years, and which has been at various
times on the verge of armed revolution.
Hsply the great majority of the people are
on the side of the Union and the men who
have been plotting treason in our midst
have had their plans thoroughly defeated
A better spirit already marks the opposi-
tion. Its defiant, braggsrt tone has been
subdued- Its hostility to the war and
against the President, has lost its venom.
The foul treason which began to rear its
bloody head in the Northwest has been
struck down, and will forever perish un-
less the cause of the Union shall suffer dis
ssters which will enable it to come up
again.
The election is such moral victory that
it has infused peace and quiet into the peo-
pie and all classes are now eagerly turning
their attention to the war. Let the
Government only use the splendid CONT
age and confidence of the people as ii
should, and the rebellion will he pushed to
the wall and receive a most ruinous de-
feat,

On the red hearth's reddest centre, from blazing

And my slumberous eyelids Itraining, as stag

Still in that dread vision seeming, turned my gaze
toward the cleaning
Hearth, and therel God saw it and from out
its flaming jaw it

Then, as in deaths seeming shadow, in the icy pail
I lay, stricken, came a hOarse and hideOus murmur

All the hendish fire had smouldersd to a white

And no knot of oak was flaming as it famed upon

But around lis very centre, where the demon face

progress. The Chicago Post. the ablest

defeat of Mcclellan, begins to talk in
strain similar to the Posi-. If our Ohio

A trick of the Brooklyn, New York,

for some one of the workers to take a

give it up to some freshly arrived voter,
go to the rear, take his place again, and,
when again near the polls, again surren-
der it. In this way, at some of the polls,
Union men were for four hours kept from
