PIcARD's PATENT FoE TANNING LEATH-
Err IN ONE DAY.-TAe German papclo
give the following which is described
as simple and cheap method Thr
inventor guarantees t, tan any kind
of leather in one day, the work to be
perfect, the leather to be as tough
and strong as any that is prepared
otherwise. The materials used are
oil of turpentine, mixed with extract
of tannin, and the mechanical opera
tion is by imparting motion to the
skins, which are put into fulling watts.
After washing, depilating, and re-
moving the upper skin from the hides
instead Of consigning them to the
miserable pit, they are put into full
ing vats These contain decoctiuu
of alum in case the leather is TO rc-
main white, or if it is TO be colorod
the decoction is that of catechu, SUI
mac, OF any other tannin substance
The vat being carefully fastened Is
put in motion for some hours By
the motion, the alum or the other
substances penetrate the pores Of the
skin, and prepare it for the reception
of the extract which is the principal
tanning agent, The turpentine com
pound is then poured into the val,
which is again fastened, and subject
ed to the same rotary motion as be
fore. This likewise lasts some hours
The extract, having to work upon the
pores already open to receive it, be.
gins its work as soon as the evolu-
tons have commenced, and so pow
eriul is its energy that III less than
twenty-four hours the work is ac-
complished and the skin is thorough
ly tanned. After the operation the
skins require only to be freed from
the smell of turpentine and the resin
Gus particles that stick to it, both OF
which are removed by washing The
leather is then hammered, smoothed,
and finished in the common way.
Small skins, such as those of C If
sheep, and goats, which are chiefly
reserved for morocco, are treated in
the same way as large hides, with
this difference only, that a 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
q method at once short and cheap,
and applicable to white as we'll as
morocco leather, both of which can
be prepared at one and the same
time.-SEin and Leather Reporter

HOW THE ATLANTIC CABLE rs
WORKED.

n. Y. Correspondence of the Louisville
Courier.
The other day telegrapher, who
had looked into the matter, told me,
in a few words, how the Atlantic ca
BILE is worked. | had read column
after column in the papers in vain
effort to understand how it was done,
and was astonished enough, | assure
you, to see how simple a thing was
the instrument which talks across
the sea. Imagine small needle-it
weighs oily three-seventeenths of
grain-set so that either end points
to q powerful fixed magnet Over
this needle is a board in which is
small hole, above and behind which
is a black board. One end Of the
needle, or rather magnet, is the posi-
tive, and the other a negative one.
The battery is taken off at one side
Of the ocean by the action of the
magnets themselves when the opera
tor at the other side is writing The
battery used at either ends contains
only three cups-a wonderfully small
number when you know that it takes
a thousand or more TO work the va
rious wires leading out of No. l45
Broadway, the head office here The
application of current from the bat
terry to the positive magnet at Nalrn-
tia induces an attraction of the nee.
die by the negative magnet at Hearts
Content, Uice UerSo. The movement
of the needle, however, is so very
small that it could not be detected
by the naked eye. A powerful mag
nifer, however, carries the reflection
OF the motion of the needle through
the hole in the board above, and trans
fers it an enlarged, and with the aid
of light, an enlightened form to the
black board. The alphabet is SINH
lar to, though not exactly like, the
Morse and a motion Of the needle
one way implies dash, OF the other
way a dot Of course as mary of
each can be made use of as is desira-
bic. The magnets being equally at
tractive, hold the needle stationary
when no other influence is applied
And now for the reason why a small
battery works the best. 1t is not
that a large battery,as has been pop
ularly supposed, would cat up the
lconducting wire, but that it would

A Cross WoMAN-The idea Of a
woman getting cross and ugly when
things in the family do not run quite
as smoothly as they should, is simply
ridiculous. She makes herself an
object Of loathing and contempt
whenever she is guilty of such non
sense The Almighty has created
her for purpose entirely different to
this insane and foolish indulgence in
angry passions. lie has made her
beautiful and attractive in person,
endowed her with sensibilities and re-
iinements of mind and manner which
when properly cultivated, lead to the
elevation of the higher and holier
feelings OF our nature. Think of a
being thus constituted getting cross
on every trifling occasion. How she
insults her Creator. and prostitutes
those excellent qualities which the
stern sex do not possess, and which
seem to be reserved by heaven iol
her alone. Think of this, fair woman
whenever the devil tempts you thus
to sin. You may forfeit all within
your grasp worldly happiness, per
sonal esteem, domestic felicity, thai
peace Of mind which arises from {
consciousness of duty we'll and faith
fully performed, and what is more
than all, you may forfeit the favor o
your God.

A LEGEND OF THE NEW MOON.

Over my shoulder watching,
wait for the bright new moon
To wake in the western heavens.
Where the air seems soft as June
O, sweet new moon, like silver,
Shine out in the west for me!
0, sweet new moon of lovers,
am watching at eve for thee.
In he past, one eve / wandered
Meath the blossoming apple trees,
When the world was full of beauty
And the signing western breeze.
over my own lett shoulder
| saw thy crescent light
And wished q wish, that changing,
Was woven thro my dreams all night.
WISHED that . sweet, coy maiden,
With ringlets soft and brown,
With cheeks like the apple blossoms,
And neck like the whitest down,
Would return the love bore her
In the morn my wish was true,
Another eve and 1 kissed her,
And we vowed, sweet moon, to you.
And you grew il your full orbed beauty
As our love grew day by day;
And you waned through the cold gray
morning
As our love, till you went away.
And a hundred times your crescent
Has dipped to the suns rich bed,
Since the pleasant love of my boyhood
Was numbered among the dead.
0, While l am waiting and watching,
Shine out in your silver light!
For my heart beats high for maiden
would wish a wish tonight
Iwould wish, while your crescent beacons
The land where love is born,
A wish that would last forever,
And come to pass at morn"

PEoFANITY.-Why will men take the
name Of God in vain : What possi-
bic adgantage is to be gained by it !?
And yet this wanton, vulgar sin Of
profanity is evidently Oil the increase.
Oaths fall upon the ears in the cars
and at the corners of streets. The
North American Review says we'll ::
" There is among us not few who
feel that simple assertion OF plain
statement of obvious facts will pass
for nothing, unless they swear to its
truth by all the names Of the Deity
and blister their lips with every va
riety of bot and sulphurous oaths.-
Ii we observe such persons very
closely, we shall generally find that
the fierceness of their profanity is in
inverse ratio TO the affiuence OF their
ideas We venture to affirm that the
profanest men within the circle of
your knowledge, are all afflicted with
a chronic weakness of the intellect.
The utterance of an oath, though it
may prevent vacuum in sound, is
no indication of sense. 1t requires
no genius to swear The reckless
taking of sacred names in vain is as
little characteristic Of true indepen-
dence Of thought as it is of high mo-
raj culture. In this breathing and
beautiful world, filled, as it were,
with the presence of the Deity and
fragrant with its incense from thou
sand affairs of praise, it would be no
servilitv should we catch the spirit
of reverent worshippers, and Illus
trate III ourselves the sentiment that
the Christian is the highest style Of
man"
