Utility ef Refuse Things.

Cow hair, taken from the hides in tan
neries, is employed for making plaster
ing mortar, to give it ibrous quality.
Sawdust is useful for sprinkling the
floors of markets; it is also used for
packing ice for shipping. The rags Of
worn out shirtng, calico dresses, and
the waste of cotton factories, are en-
ployed 10 make the paper upon which
these lines are printed. Old ropes are
converted into fine note paper; and the
waste paper itself, which is picked. up in
the cutters, is again converted into broad
white sheets, and thus does duty in re-
volving stages. The pairing of skins and
hides, and the ears OF cows, calves and
sheep are collected and converted into
glue. The finer qualit ties of gelatine are
made from the bones and tendons of ami
mails. Bones, converted into charcoal
by rossting in retorts, are afterward en-
ployed for purifying white sugar. The
ammonia obtained rom the distillation
of coal in making gas is employed for
saiurating orchill and cudbear, in max
ing the beautiful lilac celors that are
dyed on silk and the fine wooden goods.
Brass filings and old brass kettles are
and employed to make the
brasswork of printing presses.

Garibaldi Under a Cloud,

That hol-headed fanatic, Garibaldi, is
now assailed by some friends of the cause
which suffered failure in his hands before
Rome, with charges that he possesses no
military genius, and has never been fit
to lead even the smallest military force.
The truth is, that Garbaldi displayed his
ability as a captain at Monte Rotondo in
way that entitled him to the highest
praise. At the head Of an unframed
mob, without artillery and armed only
with the old fashioned weapons, he had
to encounter superior force of profes-
sional soldiers carrying heavy guns and
Chassepot rifles.
These Chassepot rifles proved to be
terrible things. They were fired from
ten to twelve times per minute. The
roar of their discharge reminded a
listener, "by its regularity and rapidity,
Of an enormous pendulum clock running
down" Yet Garbaldi and his followers
burnt the gates Of Monte Rotondo under
" a rain Of balls" rushed in, and cap.
tured the garrison. In the final action
at Montana they fought heroically against
overwhelming numbers armed with
Chassepots, until their defeat. Garibaldi's s
faults were simply his blind, uncalcula-
ting devotion to an idea and his fool
hardiDess in rushing against superior
odds. Fortune was, as usual, on the
side of those who had the best firearms /;
and this the Liberator ought to have had
sense enough to foresee.-Ne,o York

The Radical Press Alarmed at Impeach'
ment-A Few Comments.

From the Providence journal, Nov. 2f-Sena-
tor Anthopy-Republican.
The fact that majority of the Judi
ciary Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives have submitted report
recommending the impeachment of the
President is received with disappoint-
ment and with almost universal regret.
The impeachment, thus recommended,
has now far greater chance OF being
adopted by the House of Representatives,
for there are many members in that
body who are always disposed to do what
may be recommended by a majority of
any one of its standing committees. The
discussion of the subject will commence
in the House next week, and its excite.
ments will spread throughout the
country Nothing but mischief can
result from it to all the interests of
the people. 1t will add to the de-
preston OF industry and trade, it
will create distrust towards the Govern
ment both at home and abroad, and 1t
will darken our political future with new
apprehensioss and alarms. 1t is not
safe to fix point beyond which this
wretchod proceeding cannot go. We
have been told over and over again that
it would never be recommended by a
majority of the committee, but 1t is re-
commended, and we now can have no
assurance that it will not be adopted by
the House and at length sustained by the
Senate. But even if it stops short Of this,
the precedent will have been siablished
that President of the Unitcd States
may be impeach-d when he presumcs to
differ from the party that rules the
Houses of Congress, or even when be
becomes personally offensive to their
leading members.
The interests Of the country that de-
mand the attention OF Congress are ex-
ceedingly pressing, but nothing can be
done till this pet measure OF certain
violent men has been acted upon. It's
discuNsion in the House Of Representa-
tives will probably consume several
weeks, and then, If impeachment is de-
cided on, the trial Of the President will
occupy the residue Of his official term.
Meanwhile, the impeachmeniers will at
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1867-12-03

tempt to enact law suspending him
from office while the trial is going on,
and assigning the administration of the
government to the President pro tempOre
Of the Senate. The President of the
United States would thus be virtually
deprived of his Office by legislative decree
without waiting for the result of trial,
and the country would be exposed to oil
the evils incident to a provisional gov
crnmont set up by Congress without any
action of the people or any provision of
the Constitution. The party that shall
favor series of proceedings so wanton
and outrageous cannot sustain itself.
II will be swept from power as surely as
another election is ever held in the
country. The men in Congress who lead
in these measures may be sincere in their
professions of duty and patriotic in their
purposes but we warn them that they
arc bringing ruin on the Republican
party, and dishonor and disaster on the
whole country.
From the Philadelphia Ledger, Nov. 26-Ind.l J
The belief is general that the sense of
considerable majority of the House,
although much incensed against the
President, is against impeachment; but
the immediate effect will be to precipi-
tate Congress into passionate partisan
debate, when the minds of all the mem
bers should be devoted to a cool and dis.
passionate consideration of the great
needs of the industrial and business
interests OF the whole country. AT this
time, when so many factories are closed
and closing, when so many people are
out cf employment, when so many of
those who are employed are either work
ing on short time or are threatened with
reduced wages; when the currency, the
debt and the revenues need so much care
and attention; when so many men who
are in business, and who in ordinary
times would regard themselves as pros
porous and safe, are apprehensive that
some adverse political blast may crumble
their substance and business into ashes.
AT such a time these interests should have
the earnest and important attention of
Congress to the exclusion of everything
calculated to embarrass their action by
arousing partisan passion.
From the Washington Star. Nov. 90 -Rep.l
The impression at the Capitol to-day
is that if vote were taken at once the
resolution of impeachment might posi-
bly, be carried in the House by bare
majority, but that its chances are
weakened with every days delay. In
the Senate it has apparently little chance.
There seems to be disposition to wait
and get an indication of the current of
public opinion after Judgment has been
formed upon the evidence.
From the Washington Express-Dem.l
The probable action of the House on
the impeachment question next week is
the subject of considerable speculation
at the capitol to day. The friends of the
movement think they can carry it
through by small majority. Its oppo-
nents, however, are confident of defeat
ing it by decisive vote whenever the
question shall be taken. The opinion is
also expressed in certain quarters that
the final vote will be delayed several
months-if taken at all.

Wood engraving is said to have had its
origin in China, the birthplace Of many
other valuable inventions, and to have
been due to the peculiar structure of the
Chinese language, in the writing of which
a separate symbol is used for each idea,
and words are not made up, as with US,
by combination of letters. The number
of these symbols or characters is there.
fore so vast that it would be almost i'm
possible TO print their books with nova
Bile types. Their method Of printing is
therefore as follows: The work to be
printed is carefully transcribed upon
transparent paper, only one side Of which
is written on. The sheets are then glued
down upon wooden tablets, aud all the
wood is cut away except that covered By
the lines Of the writing. From these
raised wooden lines impressions are
taken. This practice is Of ancient date
in China, and some Of those who have
bestowed research on the matter are
inclined TO tx il about a. d. $50.

dangerous compound which should at

under which nitro gycerine explodes
are as yet unknown, and until they are
