A NEW KIND OF CLorH.-A London
paper gives the following account Of a
new kind OF cloth manufactured from pine
leaves: 90 .l'' W. IN
There are two establishments near Bres-
lsu. in one Of which pine leaves are con.
yerted, into wool. while in the other for
invalids, the waters used in the manufac.
ture Of pine wool, are employed as cura-
tive SCENTS. The process Of converting
the pine needles into wool was discovered
by Mr.. Pannewitz. In the hospitals. pen.

Breslau. blankets mads from that material
are now exclusively used. One Of their
chief advantages is, that no kind Oliver.

In the Democratic theory Of RESTORATION,
As opposed to the Republican theory of
RECONSTRUCTION, the matter of time is q
material element. President Johnson, by
mis- policy Of forgiveness and concillatlon.
aims to give to the Southern States trade,
industry, and prosperity within the Union
IN the shortest possible period; and in this
he pays due regard to the views Of his i'm
mediate predecessor in office. For Mr..
Lincoln, in his last public address made to
an immense crowd assembled at the exc
cutlve uar sion, April IL, 1865, said:
have been shown letter on this sub
ct, supp"s-d TO be an able one, in which
the writer expresses regret that my mind
has not seemed tc be definitely fixed upon
the question whether the seeded Stat, S,
so-cal.ed, are in the Un!on or out of it, Ii
would, perhaps, add astonishmcnt to his
regret, were he to learn that, since | have
found proiessed Union men endeavoring to
answer thai question, have purposely for
borne any pubic expression upon it; as it
appears to me, that question has not been,
nor yet is, practically material one, and
that any discussion OF It while it thus re.
mains practically immaterial, could have no
eff CT other than the mlschievous one OF
dividing our friends. As yet, whatever it
may become, that question is bad as the
basis of controversy. and go.d for nothing
at ala merely pernicious abstraction
We all agree that the seeded States, So
called, are out Of their practical relation
with the Union, and the sole object Of the
government, civil and military, in regard to
those States, is to again get them into their
proper practical relation. l believe that it
Is not only possible, but, in fact, easier to
do this without deciding or even consider
ing whether those States have ever been
out of the Union, than with it.

Tug Iowa City LsDublican has a yer,

Tue Iowa City Republican has q very
good suggestion to farmers. 1t is that they
fatten their ow stock and not let it 90 out
of the State half grown, and for a mere
song. while there is plenty Of corn herssto
teed twice the amount Of stock we actually
have This is poor policy so far as profit
on the stock is concerned, and what is
more, it actually ruins the corn market by
leaving it surfeited. The maxim laid down
is, mo hog or steer should be sold in Iowa
for moat until it has taken all the corn it
can carry" This position is sustained by
u computation which shows the great ad.
vantage Of shipping corn in concentrated
form.
A hog that will weigh 800 pounds is
worth about double for its products, and
this extra 100 pounds is also entirely con.
cen,ra,ed corn. Such a hog would now
bring in Chicago $45. The last 100
pounds put upon it is worth about half that
sum. $23 90. which represents sbeutsA6
bushels OF corn at 30 cents per bushel.-
To send this 100 pounds Of pork to mar.
k.t will not cost the farmer over $3.50,
and he will have $40 for his share while,
# he ships the corn instead. he will pay
not less than $3.50, or 80 cents per
hushel cost, and Will Lave lett for his share
-. We do not suppose it will require 4s
bushels of corn to make this 100 pounds of
pork.

ru,hless'y torn from that quiet aud seclu.
sion which their age and infrmities i'm.
perativrly demanded and forced to do duty
in every minstrel and cart company in
the land. "O.d Dog Tray" the faithful
old pup, was for a long time drawn by the
tail through all manner Of brass instru.

by piano keys, and made to howl plainly

"Home, Sweet II M" has been so suc.

to become wander rs for the remainder Of

ondaga county N. Y, sends to the Ameri-
can Agrculturist an interesting account Of
a farmer he formerly knew, who was born
without arms. Instead OF appealing to tho
charitable for support he commenced early
to help himself. HIS first property was q
hen and chickens, next pet lamb, and af-
terwa'ds shaggy colt. He took good
care of these, and increased his stock liz.
tie at time. until he became prosperous
farmer. Having no hands he learned to
use his toes, which we're longer than com.
mon. His legs were also very flexible, and
by practice he was enabled to readily per.
form most operations with case. H. put
on and took off his own clothing, shaved
and fed himself mlktd It's own cows, and
took part in most labors Of the farm. He
was te' ror to evil dcers, whom he could
punish with severity. He was powerfully
built, and possessed Of great strength in
the head and shoulders. He would butt
like a ram, or seize an offending urchin
with his teeth and shake him with bull deg
tenacity. He died at the age Of seventy,
leaving large family, having been mar-
ried three times.
