MONTPELIER, Oct. 10. 1867.
The Session opens with bright skies and
mid and pleasant air out of doors and with
more or less Of the customary stir and hustle
Of "electIon day" The rrddlers are on
hand, and with cheerful horn salute the
morn," as usual and | suppose there is
swoppng of French horses, and eating Of
molasses candy, and drinking of cider or
something else, going on as heretofore. But
though there seems to be about the old
throng Of people from the country, in the
streets, it strikes me that election day, as
holiday, Is warning from year to year.
In the Capitol and Third house everything
appears to be quiet and harmonious as pos
sible.
The House was called to order by the Sec
retary Of State, DR.. Nichols, at ten o'clock,
and opened with reading of the Scriptures
and prayer. by Rev. n. P. Foster, OF Mont
pelier. TIE call of the roll showed very
full attendance Of the members.

Gore, in Caledonia Co., which has during
the year past organized as town under an
old charter granted many years ago, lin l794)
for the town of Goshen, from which the Gore
was subsequently, severed. There being some
doubt as to the regularity Of that organizI.
ton, the Secretary laid the matter before the
House, and the matter was laid upon the
table till after the organization OF the House.
The House proceeded to organize. Hon.
JoHN ". STEWART, Of Middlebury. was nom
mated for Speaker, with a handsome CON-
pliment to the impartislity and ability with
which he had performed the duties of pre-
siding officer of the House for two years

1t seems to me sound policy to continue
to apply yearly one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars as a sinking fund to retire the
funded debt. Should you concur in this view,
and should the basis Of the foregoing esti
mate prove correct, it will be necessary to
assess tax upon the polls and ratable estate
OF the inhabitants of the State, that will re-
alIze TO the Treasury four hundred thousand
djllars 1t viii be norced that this sum
is nearly one hundred and seventy thousand
dollars les than was raised by tax last an

PiCard's Patent for Tanning
Leather in one Day.

The German papers give the follow
ing which is described as a simple and
cheap method. The inventor guaran-
tees to tan any kind of leather in one
day, the work to be perfect, the leather
10 be as tough and as strong as any
that is prepared otherwise. The ma
tcriaIS used are oil Of turpentine, mix
ed with extract Of tannin, and the me-
chanical operation is by imparting mo-
tion to the skins, which are put into
tulling watts. After washing, depilat-
ing, and removing the upper skin from
the hides, instead Of consigning them
to the miserable pit, they are put into
tulling watts. These contain a decoc.
ton Of alum in case the leather is to
remain white, or if it is to be colored
the decoction is that Of catechu, sumac,
or any other tanhin substance. The
vat being carefully fastened is put in
motion for some hours. By the mo-
tlOn, the alum or the other substances
penetrate the pores of the skin, and
prepare il for the reception of the ex-
tract which is the principal tanning
agent. The turpentine compound is
then poured into the vat, which is again
fastened, and subjected TO the same ro-
tary motion as before. This likewise
lasts some hours The extract, having
TO work upon pores already open to
receive it, begins its work as soon as
the evoIutions have commenced, and
so powerful is its energy that in less
than twenty-four hours the work is ac-
complshed and the skin is thoroughly
tanned. After the operation the skins
require only to be freed from the smell
OF turpentine and the resinous parti-
cles that stick to it, both of which are
removed by washing. The leather is
then hammered, smoothed, and finish.
ed in the common way.
Small skins, such as those of calf.
sheep, and goats, which are chiefly re-
served for morocco, are treated in the
same way as large hides, with this diff
ference only, that quantity of salt is
added to the decoction Of alum, etc,
and the time allowed for the operation
is about half that taken up for heavy
leather Thus we have a method at
once short and cheap, and applicable
to white as well as morocco leather,
both of which can be prepared at one
and the same time-Skin and Leather

Fort Moultrie is a ruin. The walls
still stand, but the barracks are gone.
1t is now occupied by company Of
colored troops. Down the beach is
Fort Beaurcgard, with no guns, how
ever, grinning defiance across the bay.
Between the two forts stand q group
Of ragged palmettocs, their bark scar
red with many mark of shell and
bullet. Sumter, against whose face
had been hurled the iron rain from
floating and stationary batteries, still
stands, it's brick wall facing toward
the city almost untouched The front
or sea wall is an inclined plane, some
thirty five feet in height Its interior
resembles the dry bed of a lake, and it
is not until you have descended and
entered the casemates that you per-
ceive where its immense strength lay
a small wooden lighthouse now stands
on the portion facing the sea, and, it is
said, indicates the spot where turret-
ed iron clad fortress is to be erected.
A walk around the battered wall, a
glimpse cf squad of colored soldiers,
and an examination of the casemates,
and you have seen all there is of Sum
ter Morris Island shows more traces
of the fight than any other portion of

are still pointed towards the city. Hav

an open earth work, with no protec-

walls running parallel, and is garrison

Cosmetics,

Inc anclentS had an astonishing
number Of oils, soaps and perfumes.
The Romans made large use Of smcg-
ma, wash ball, for cleansing the skin
in bathing. After taking Il warm va
por bath, their bodies were annointed
with perfumed oil Cosmetics were in
as large demand among the women of
ancient Rome as they are at the pres
ent day, and every imaginable device
was had recourse to, by them, for cor
recting mpertections in the color Of
their skin, hair, eyebrows, &c. PIinv
did not think it beneath his notice to
record number appropriations Of this
kind, most of them obtained from diff.
terent plants. Among these the peel
in@s OF the pear, wheE boiled, had the
credit Of imparting to the hair black
color. Bears grease was lQudcd tor
its reputed property of making the
hair grow out from bald heads Light
hair was procured by applying the
lees OF vinegar and oils Of lentiseus,
and black was made white by another
wonder working substance Then there
were means promised to make the hair
crisp and to curl it. Ovid says that
women dyed their gray locks with the
juice Of herbs from Germany, and that
art gives them more dazzling color
than natural. Propertius accuses his
mistress OF an excessive use Of pOma-
tum. Foolish attempts to change the
color Of the hair were then, as they are
now, often punished by its entire loss.
Ovid tells Of q young person whose
hair fell out when endeavoring to
change its chestnut color to that of
black. The eyebrows were dyed black
by the eggs of ants and flies A more
practical plan was to straighten the
hairs and dye them with needle
blackened in smoke False hair was
used by the Roman women Martial
rldicules one of the sex who, in her ag-
itation at visit from her lover, put on
her false hair upside down. A similar
deception was practiced in having ar
tificial cyelds.
The preparations intended, to pre-
serve the complexion fresh and the
skin soft were very numerous in an
cient Rome. The Empress Poppea,
in her journeys, always had with her
a number of asses, the milk Of which
she used as a bath. The froth of fer
mented liquors was used tor this object.
The soap most in request came from
Gaul Franco, and was Of two kinds,
the soft and the liquid; it was made
with goats fat and the ashes of the
beech. Wrinkles of the skin were said
to be removed by the neal of beans
This was also sometimes added to the
water for the bath. The Roman satir-
ical poets were very severe in their
ridiculc of those women who daubed
their faces with white lead or chalk.
Modern chemistry has furnished me-
tallic preparations, which have been so
misappIied as to be made to enter into
the composition Of various cosmetics
The effects Of using them, such as those
into which lead, bismuth, mercury, or
arsenic enter, are most pernicious- oft
en- damaging the health and sometimes
causing death itself
