a National Home for Invalid Soldiers.

Measures ale now in haud which ar,
calculated, after the lapse ola few months
to establish, on n grand scale, the desi1.
cratum-a National Home for Invalid
Soldiers. The design is an admirabl,
one, and is as follows: 1t is well known
that all efforts to obtain voluntary sub
scriptions sufficient to erect a Soldiers
Home have been without avail. In fur.
tberance Of the object, however, the Leg
islature Of Pennsylvania have passed 40
act dated March 4, 1867, creating cor
poratiop Of which Major General George
&. Meade is president, and General Ho-
ratio e. Sickels is treasurer, with an eff
clent board OF supervisors, who have the
power TO distribute to .hc holders of GER
tlticatcs large number of Immensely val
uable gifts, consisting of diamonds, pearls,
cmcIalds, rubies, &c, purchased from cit
liens Of the Southern States during the
ICpcilJii, duu WHICH aItlCICS VIII soon DC
exhibited at the Office Of the corporation,
By this scheme it is confidently anticipa>
ted large fund will be created towards
the erection Of the Home. A great feat
IRE Of the affair consists in the fact that
every purchaser of the certificates be-
comes contributor to this National Home
fund, and at the same time has direct
interest in the distribution of the rare
gems mentioned above. The details of
the entire scheme will be conducted in
perfectly fair and honorable manuer-
TIE site Tor the Home has already been
purchased, and consists of thirty acres of
land, used by General Meade during the
battle Of Gettysburg as his headquarters.
The plan has been approved by ex-Gover-
Dor Curtin, Major General Meade, Gov.
Geary. and large number of prominent
military heroes.

A CITIZEN has had an interview
with Mr.. johnson, who reports thus -
"Ihe President said that the Democratic
party seemed bent on destruction-that
they had neither policy nor wisdom
That they had shown bad faith in their
want Of adherence to the principles OF
the Philadelphia Convention that if they
had faithfully stood by the correct plat.
form there enunciated, and had in good
faith adopted the doctrines there pre-
claimed, it would have been, by dropping
ITS identity, a formidable and irreslsta-
BILE party. He thought that the party
which had opposed the war was an effete
body, and DO class of men who had qui.
city acquiesced in the disruption of the
Union could ever even expect 20 control
the Legislation of the country"

THE STATE TAX.

The following paragraph has been 60
ing the rounds of the press, which de-
mands correction:
"The Legislature has passed an act
abolishing the State tax on personal prop
erty, and therefore levy Of $500 600,
has been apportioned among the different
counties according to population"
We have official information 20 the et-
feet that there is no grounds for the above
statement, no such bill having been passed
by the Legislature.

REVOLUTION IN THE MANUFAC-
TURE OF LEATHER.

ItkE OF LEATHER.
Ir November last, Sanford A. Tickel
Esq, of West Virginia, secured paten,
for the most important discovery of this
century.
| The manufacture of leather has been
and is now an exceedingly expensive bu-
siness, owing greatly to the growing scar
city Of the all important material, Bark.
1t has, therefore, for years past been the
great object Of our Chemists and Tanners
to discover substitute for bark or an as
sistant tanning agent which, in measure
would possess the important "tannipy
acids" and which would thus lessen ne
expensive Bark, Through the greatlis-
covery of Mr.. lIickcl, this importanttar-
ming agent has been found, in the siape
of simple vegetable matter" by ma ure
already prepared as ii would seem forthe
purpose of which it is now, and hereafter
to be freely used. The importance of he
discovery consists in the abundance Of
this agent at all tines and ia all places of
its inexpensive nature, and contaiE-ng
equal if not more tanning acid than tie
expensive Bark, ana being used With
bark, saving one-half of that expensive
material and making irmer, s.ronsr,
more plable and heavier article of Leah
er than can be manufactured with Bgk |
alone. |
But this agent possesses additional VI
tues, as 1t opens the pores Of the hids, |
and therefore gives immediate accessi to
the acid, and III consequence tans with
much more rapidity than bark, thereby
saving from one to two-thirds Of the time
now consumed.
The discovery of this tanaing material
will permit the manufacture of 4 superior
article of Leather at onc-half its prcscn,
expense and the great saving of time in
its manufacture will enable the capitalist
to make three returns to his former one
1t will likewise enable men of limited
means to establish themselves in lucra-
tive business, which heretofore was barred
TO small beginners on account of its ex
pensiveness and its slow realization. A
grea, reduction in the price of this staple
must occur when this system comes into
general use, and those who first introduce
it will be largely the gamers for it is des !
tined soon 20 cause a revolution i'll the
Leather market. Those who manufacture
under the old process cannot possibly
compcte with those who manufacture un-
der the cheap and rapid process OF Mr..
Hickel
As no change in the construction of
yard is required, it is expected that the |
System will soon come into general use.
Special information respecting the sys
