Kid and Other Gloves.

1t would be quite impossible to find
kid enough to supply the demand for
gloves, so recourse is had to sheep skin,
and it is asserted by several of our lar
gest small ware folks that not ten per
cent, of the gloves sold for kid are the
legitimate article. The pelts of suck
ling lambs and colts are the principal
materials used Rat skins are never
used for gloves. They are too small,
and cannot be dressed soft and durable.
Rat skins are tanned for coverings to
iewelry boxes. A genuine kid glove is
thin, fne-grained, delicate and soft. yet
very strong. A sheep skin glove is coars-
er grained, thick and stout, and if
shaved to a thinness to represent kid, it
is himsy and rotten.
Paris is the headquarter of the kid
and colt skin glove. The kid skins are
collected in all parts of the world,
while the colt skins come from Tartary,
where the flesh of the sucking colt is
staple article of food. The tanning,
dressing and cutting out Of the gloves
is done in Paris, and thence sent out
into the country to be sewed. The great
bulk Of the Paris gloves have always
been sewed in the district of Alsace and
Lorraine, and now that Germany has
acquired the territory, Paris, to retain
her glove trade, will be compelled to
very generally adopt the sewing ma
chine. By an ingenious application
skillful operators can afford to sew
gloves thirty per cent, cheaper with ma
chine than by hand. The sheep skin
gloves come principally from Naples
and Vienna About 100000 dozen pain
from the former place are sold yearly
in Boston, and about 200,0 dozen pain
from the latter city reach this mark
This class of gloves is very largely
worn as preference by many, as being
about one-third the price of a kid arti
Gle. The wearer can afford with better
economy to wear a new pair of sheep
skin gloves each day, and thus present
cleaner unsoiled glove, than in pur
chasing kid continually and replacing
them when soiled.

Fish for Tickets.

We copy the following statement from
Signor Blitz's new book, "Fifty Years
in the Magic Circle;'
A few miles distant from Salem was
the small and interesting town OF Mar
blehead.
The inhabitants of this place are, to
a great extent, dependent on the fisher
les, generous in nature, and hard race,
we'll adapted to the locality.

and must here relate an incident that
will in measure, illustrate the peculi-
arties of the people.
During the day of my performanc e,
numbers inquired if | intended 10 re-
ceive fish-the merchandise of the place
in payment for ticket, or the admis-
sion fee To this | replied | could not.
When the hour arrived for commenc-
ing, there was scarcely dozen persons
present, while hundreds were collected
outside. On observing to the doorkeeper
my surprise and disappointment, he re-
marked that if / could take fish in
payment, he could fill the room in a
few minutes; to which | consented.
This fact being communicated to the
assembled crowd, caused general dis
persion, but they soon returned laden
with one or two fish, of the value of the
ticket. To my establishment the house
was soon crowded to overlooking. The
following evening the attendance was
equally large, all parties bringing the
necessary amount of fish to procure adj
mission.
Previous to my leaving | disposed of
more than two carloads Of fish to a
merchant Of the town. A similar cir
cumstance has probably never taken
place in the history of amusements, and
Notwithstanding my Marblehead friends
have since experienced considerable
chagrin that their mercantile traffic at
the ticlzet-office had become known
abroad, it does no dishonor to their in.

How Counterfeit Notes are Made.

a party of men, say from three to q
dozen, band together and hold frequent
meetings, and act according to plan
laid down. One or two will find some
copper plate printer in the employ of
the Bank Note Company-in fact, all
such printers are known by the party
These men will then manage to meet
one of the printers in the evening, get
acquainted, drink and have a good time
generally with him, and so proceed for
a few evenings. Then they offer him
$50 to 500 to procure a certain kind of
impression. This impression is made
in this wise: The printer will take the
impression upon tin foil from the plate
from which he is printing, which can be
done in a moment. Thus. you see,
every line and the size is obtained COR
rectly. From this tin foil an electro
type plate is made. They then get
some plate printer that can be found
about the city, have a good time with
him, engage him at twenty dollars a
day to do the printing. BY this plan
thousands of copies are struck off that
defy detection, except in the quality OF
the paper, which will differ from the
genuine

Nilsson at West Point.

" Everybody seems to love this Swe-
dish singer" says West Point letter
speaking of Wilson's visit there. This
morning she came tripping down the
great staircase, full of almost girlish viz.
acity, and springing in the midst of a
group of children at play on the piazza
distributed kisses and smiles with an
earnestness and relish as though she
was the mother and they her pets.
" Little chicks good morning-good
morning! playing so nice in the sun
beams tool The early birds sing the
sweetest-don't they?" she exclaimed,
and chartered away like black bird,
her blue eyes luminous with feeling,
and her fair face beaming with pleasure.
The little ones seemed to think her as
one of their age, and entered into the
sport of playing tag" chasing her
around the chairs and through the hall
with infinite zest. She was dressed in a
lilac morning walking costume, plain
lace collar and cuffs, with simple orna-
ments and jewels. Her ample blonde
hair was ggthered neatly, as usual, in
braids. After breakfast she walked
over to the billiard and bowling rooms,
and engaged with hearty vim in both
games. She handles the cue deity,
and rolls the balls with considerable
muscular power, stamping her little foot
with illconcealed vexation at her own
mishaps, and the next moment laugh
ing merrily at the plumbers of her
partner

The English Census.

The Pail Mall Gazette insisted, before
the British census was taken, that it was
unnecessary, an now, having waited
until the figures Of London were forth
coming, it reiterates its former asser-
ton. The numbers announced as ascer-
tanned for the metropolis were 3,25l,-
sos; it had previously been estimated,
by facts in possession of the Register
General, that the population would be
3,427 ,63l-a difference of only Alb
from the result Of the census, or only
one-eighth of one per cent. out of the
way. That paper says that every fact
regarding the increase or decrease of
population is now so completely OBJ
tanned by the Register General, that a
decennial census is not only the cause
of a useless expense, but an annual CEN
sus might be taken at no expense to the
government, and without troubling the
people. The facts brought forward by
the Gazette seem to bear out this asser
ton

ChlOrOfOrm-Can il be Used to Facili-
tate Crime Negative Argument OF
the Medical Men.


the Medical Men.
From the New York Herald June 9.
There was meeting of the Medico-
Legal Society at the College OF Physi-
clans and Surgeons, during which very
interesting paper was read by Stephen
Rogers, M. D., on the availability of
chloroform and similar agents in facili-
tating robbery Referring to the well
known fact that the excitement which
followed the announcement of the dis
covery that chloroform, ether and SINH
lar agents made human being uncon-
scious of suffering, and, properly
administered, totally insensible, he
came to the other fact that there was
great fear that it would be used by the
vicious as a security against resistance
while committing variety OF crimes.
This conclusion it was the object of the
paper to prove to have no foundation in
experience, and also to prove that 1t
could never be used effectively against
the desire of the person upon whom its
use was intended, unless sufficient force
were used to entirely control the victim.
In proof of his claim he quoted largely
from DR.. Snow, of England, who In 1850,
held that no proven case had been nam
ed in which ii had ever been used etfec-
lively without the consent of the person
upon whom it was used, and that there
was not a single well authenticated case
in which it had clearly been shown that
it had been successfully used III aid OF
crime.
The earlier cases noted, in which it
was claimed that chlorotorm had been
successfully used, were all decidedly ro-
mantle in their details, and none OF
them credited by DR.. Snow In each
and every case noted it was claimed to
be clear that if taken at all it must have
been taken willingly, and as an excuse
and cover for personal participation in
the crime alleged to have been com
mitted. The only other cases known,
in which chloroform was charged with
having been an aid in the commission OF
crime, were those in which the gentle
men robbed were really drunk, and pre-
ferred charging their mishap to chlOro-
form to acknowledging whisky or wine.
All competent authority is positive that
chloroform cannot be given effectively
to even a sleeping infant without, caus-
ing it to awake, and that in no case can
it be given without sufficient time clap
sing to enable the intendid victim to
give an alarm before being under its
influence sufficient to be unconscious.
A number of cases were quoted from
DR.. Snow, and in all Of them it was clear
that the professional robber would use
the bludgeon, pistol, or knife as his aid,
before thinking of using chloroform
which would awaken his victim and
simply add to the danger of arousing
the police.

Russian Tea-Making.

Mr.. w. A. Whyte writes, in "a Land
Journey from Asia to Europe:"
At Kalgan we first made acquaintance
with one OF the greatest Russian irsti.
tutiOns, the Samo0ar. 1t is a large sort
OF urn; in the center is tube into which
hot coal or charcoal is introduced, which
keeps it constantly boiling. The
method Of making and drinking tea is
also very agreeable. I'm a small teapot
a strong infusion, nearly essence of tea,
IS made; n small quantity of this is
poured into tumblers, and each guest
adds water and sugar ad Hbit,m. Whether
it Is that the tea in Russia is much bet
ter than we get in England, or that the
method of drinking it is better than
ours, | know not; | can only say that
never tasted its equal BEFORE, ano
never hardly for years imbibed so much
as ! did during my short stay at Kalgan
The Russians say that the tea which
makes only a land voyage is much SUI
perior to that which passes over the sea
and am inclined to their opinion
also that their method of making it for
drinking is the right one.

THE Burlington Gazette, referring to
the recent capture of a seal near that
place, relates the following singular
fact For week or ten days previous
to the seal being captured, the shad in
the river almost entirely disappeared.
The fishermen caught so few that fish
ing proved a losing business, and the
price of the few shad went up to high
figure. All this time the seal was swim
ming to to and fro in the river, no doubt
doing his share at shad fishing. To
keep clear of him the shad must have
been driven away from their accus.
toned tracks, and hence out of reach
of the fishermen. But the very day
after the capture of their enemy they
returned to their old haunts, where the
fishermen took them in large numbers,
at once giving us abundance and at low
prices.

THE dynasty of King Amadeus of
Spain is threatened. The two branches
of Bourbons-the followers of Isabella
and the Montpensierists-have affili.
ated, and thus form powerful combi.
nation. Their plan is to dethrone AM
adeus, and make the Duke of Montpen.
sier Regent, until the eldest son of Isa.
bella. Infant Alphonso, arrives at the
proper age, when he will be placed on
the throne. The united Bourbons are
not alone in opposition to the new
King. The Carlsts still have aspira-
tons of their own, and the Reds want
Republic. These parties, however, are
independent of each other, and it may
be that in the general scramble for
power, whatever the result, the Bour-
bons can have little hope of gaining the
ascendency in Spanish politics. fthey
are wise, they will allow the revelations
of the revolution of 1865 to shape their
course.
