FIELD AND FIREsIDE.
Preservation of Leather.

A contributor to the Shoe and LeGLter
Reporter gives some valuable hints in relation
to the preservation OF Leather. The ex-
treme heat TO which most men and women
expose boots and shoes during the winter de-
priveS leather of its vitality, rendering it lia>
bic to break and crack. Patent leather par
ticularly is often destroyed in this manner.
When leather becomes so warm as to give off
the smell OF leather, it is singed. Next to
the singeing caused by fire heat, is the heat
and dampness caused by the covering of rub
ber. Close rubber shoes destroy the life of
leather.
The practice of washing harness in warm
water is very damaging If coat of oil is
put on immediately after washing, the dam
age is repaired. No harness is ever so soiled
that damp sponge will not remove the dirt;
but, even when the sponge is applied, it is
always useful to add slight coat OF oil by the
use of another sponge.
All varnishes, and all blacking containing
the properties of varnish, should be avoided.
Ignorant and indolent hostlers are apt to use
such substances on their harness as. will give
the most immediate effect, and these, US a
general thing, are most destructive to the
leather.
When harness loses its lustrc and turns
long exposure to the air, the harness should
be given a new coat of grain black. Before
using this grain black, the grain surface
should be thoroughly washed with potash wa
ter until the grease is killed. and after tho
application Of the grain black, oil and tallow
should be applied to surface. This will not
only ''fasten the color" but make the leather
flexible. Harness which is grained can be
cleaned with kerosene oil or spirits of tur-
pentine, and no harm will result if the parts
effected are washed and oiled Immediately
afterward.
Shoe leather is generally abused. Persons
know nothing or less about the kind of ma
terial used than they do about the polish pro-
duced. Vitriol blacking is used until every
particle of the oil in the leather is destroyed.
To remedy this abuse the leather should be
washed once a month with warm water, and
when about half dry, coat of oil and tallow
should be applied, and the boots set aside for
a day or two. This will renew the elasticity
and life in the leather, and when thus used
upper leather will seldom crack or break
Band leather is not generally properly used
When oil is applied to betting dry, it does not
incorporate itself with the fibre, as when part
ly damPened with water. The best way to
oil belt is take it from the pullies and inn
mersc it in warm solution of talow and oil.
After allowing it to remain few moments,
the belt should be immersed in water heated
to one hundred degrees, and instantly re-
moved. This will drive the oil and tallow all
in, and at the same time properly temper tho
leather.

The Piano Manufaotory Of Charles II.
Stieff, Baltimore, Md.

Among the many evidences which daily
come to our notice as to the ability Of the
Southern people to manufacture for them
selves and supply every want at home, the
success of Mr.. Charles NJ. Stief, Piano man.
ufacturer of Baltimore, Md, has attracted our
particular attention. This success has not
been the fruit of sectional feeling, is not of
sudden growth, but has been honestly earned
in the face of the strongest kind Of compe-
tition by long years of toll and enlightened
enterprise. Years ago Mr.. Stieff began the
manufacture of Pianos in Baltimore on a
small scale. He had to contend against tho
prejudice that existed in favor of certain
popular manufacturers at the North and Eu-
rope; rejudices that were kept alive, so far
as the North was concerned, by their contin-
ucd efforts to extend the popularity of their
own manufactures and to dctract from the
merits of others. Yet he kept on, knowing
that he could make as good article as any
body and he was content to sell at reasona-
BILE profits.
Never taking advantage of the ignorance
or carelessncss of his customers to palm upon
them inferior articles at the prices of good
one, he advertised, sent out agents to can
vass the country, established agencies where
ever possible, paying liberal commissions, and
he is now at the head of one of the most
fourishing establishments in America and
daily shipping instruments to all parts of the
country from the Northwest to Texas. As
Mr.. Stietf has principally devoted his atten-
ton to the manufacture for Southern use,
his pianos are perhaps better suited to the
climate than any other, not being effected by
sudden changes from extreme heat to cold,
or constant dampness; as is often the case
with those of even the best Northern makers.
In support of this we have seen it asserted
on good authority, that in some sections of
the South no other pianos can be sold and
that an instrument Of his make is sure to be
found in every village, town or city in the
South. 1t seems to us that the success of
Mr. Stieff should excite the people of Balti-
more to eXertiOn with q view of making their
city instead of the cities of the North the re-
cipient of Southern trade. Ifunassisted and
alone one man can succeed in almost control
ling the Southern trade, how much more
likely would the joint efforts of a whole COM
munity succeed. Let the merchants of Bal
timore make the effort, but not spasmodically
but persistently; let them be liberal towards
their customers, to the press still pursuing
that honest policy which has always been a
distinguished feature in their character and
they will assuredly reap golden harvest,
and the whole south will be benefited by her
prosperity.

Stieff Pianos have taken the Gold Medal at
the fair in Baltimore, over New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore Pianos HarTenton
