Russian Leather.

The article known as Russian leather
is superior substance, mado from select.
ed hides of young cattle, and tanned by
peculiar process employed in that coun-
try. Russia leather is of three kinds
red, white and black. The former is the
finest grained, and is extensively used in
the manufacture of pocket-books, ladies'
handbags, children's belts, dressing ca
ses, satchels, needle cases, and jewel
boxes, and many othor beautiful and ex-
pensive articles. The black leather is
also very soft and pliable, and is manu-.
factured into boots and shoes, which are
worn by the inhabitants of the empire
and by the citizens of the surrounding
natio IS, and particularly the Germans.
The whito variety is very scarce, and is
less sought after than the other descrip.
tion of this commodity.
Genuine Russia leather is very fragrant,
and partakes of tie odor of the birch,
which is used in the process of tanning.
It is soft, has delicate fibre, and is
known by its fresh and rich color. The
best leather is of uniform size and quail
ty, free from holes or raw edges, feels
very elastic, is we'll stretched, and Of
equal thickness, and is distinguished by
being of a bright red color. The Rus
SLAMS also tan very excellent morocco,
which. undergoes the same treatment as
the more. senvieeable leather. This mo.
nocco is used by book binders to bind rare
and valuable books it is less liable to
mould, and its peculiar odor also keeps it
from the ravages of those insects which
so frequently destroy the bindings OF
books made of other leather.
The manufactured articles made from
red leather arc largely exported, and find
ready sales in most civilized countries.
The leather before being thus manufac-
turcd, is also shipped in considerable
quantities to Great Britain, France, Italy,
Germany and the United States.
Repeated efforts have been made by
tanners in other countries to make leath-
er in all respects corresponding to that
manufactured in Russia. In no instance
has the production come up to the stan
dard of the foreign article, and it is sup
posed that the peculiar properties Of the
birch bark grown in that country has q
material effect to render the genuine ar
ticle superior, both in quality and fra
GRANGE, to the best made imitation.
Genuine Russia leather is expensive,
and on this account is never used in the
manufacture Of cheap goods.

BEGINNING IN L1FE.-Our fathers and

BEGINNING IN LIFE.-Our fathers and
mothers were content to marry IN quiet
way, begin life in humble, economical cir
cumstances, and to gradually work up to
the top of the ladder. Their children
want to begin where their parents left
off; to be ushered into matrimonial life
with royal wedding, and then live on
an expensive scale. Unless different
sentiment can be developed, we fear the
present tendency of men TO remain single
will continue to increase, and ambitious
mothers will experience more difficulty
than ever in finding market for their
marriageable daughters.
