A scientific Frenchman has made, the
discovery that the ordinary tea drinker
takes into his stomach during the year
leather enough to make pair OF boots.
The reason OF this may readily be made
clear. A decootion of tea contains
tannin, as tannic aoid, in solution; milk
contains albumen; and as these two sub
stances are the CHIEF ingredients of
leather, and as they actually unite and
form leather when brought into contact
with each other, the drinker of tea makes
sort of shoe-maker's shop of himself.
This fact may account for the leathery
appearance Of 30 many old ladies and
baohelofs.
A good story is told Of popular rail-
road conductor, reoently chosen deacon
Of church In Middlesex County, Mas

n1nroh OF tho Deatnless Dead.

~ MNrch Oh the Oo0th1esB Dead.
as f BY FATHER RYAN. f,lt
The following beautiful poem was reoited al
the close OF the funeral Observances, at Sa
vannah, Georgia, recently, on the occasion Of
the reinterment OF the Confederate soldiers
who fell at Gettysburg: .ts.
Gather the sacred duet :
OF the warriors tried and true, ts lS..t -
Who be; bore the fiag Of our nations trsst:
Aud died for me and you.
Gather them one and all!
From the private to the chief
Come they from hovel or princely ball,
They fellfor US, and for tkcm should tall
The tears OF nations grief.
Gather the corpses strewn
Ger many battle.plain;
From many grave that lies 40 lone,
Without name and without stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they camo,
Dear, is their lifeless clayi
whether unknown, or known, to fame
1hetr cause and country stiil the same
They died-and wore the gray.
Wherever the brave have diod,
They ehould not rest apart;
Living they struggled side by aide
Why should the hand OF death divide
"A single heart from hearth
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever 1t may rest;
just as they marched to the bloody fray
just as they fell on the battle-day--
Bury them breast to breast.
The fbeman need not dread
This gathering Of the brave;
Without sword or flag, and with soundIess
tread,
We muster once more our deathless dead
Out OF each lonely grave. d t:tt
The foewan need not fsown,
I They 'aFe sil pewerless now.
We gather them here, and we lay them down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring. to wreathe each brow.
And the dead thus meet the doad,
While the living DER them weep;
And the men whom Lee and Stonewall led
And the hearts that once together bled--
Together still ahall sleep.

Which the mercenaries of the Pennsylvania

but the prelude to the main attack contem-

at this juncture the day will be hopelessly
lost, never TO be regained.
Having heretofore pointed out the effect
upon our seaboard railways and our har-

Mr.. STrBBs, of Gloucester, having had
the floor when the House adjourned on the

attention Of the House for about an hour
and a half in the delivery of spirited argu.
ment, opposing Reconsideration and restric-
tions generally.
Mr.. JAcKs9N, of Prince Edward, took
the same sidA of the question, and thought
there was i disposition to restrict the COM

Mr.. THURMAN then offered an amendment
that this company "shall not make any

Mr.. McCAULL suggested that express

Take the case of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road. If we are wise it will enter the con-
test with the advantage at this end of con-
nections with roads whose interests should
be identified with It's own, and the traffic
which now seeks Baltimore on the way to
the West will take the route from here.
But, give this PennsylvaniR company con-
troll of the highway which they seek through
our State, and our hopes of making the

Is it not plain that the Chesapeake and

of traffic, which, if wise policy is pur-
sued, will inure to our own road?
Remember that the "settled policy" OF

This strong Pennsylvania wrestler, daring

RICHMOND, Va, February 11th, 1871. }
Messrs. Editors: 1t is not my inten-
ton to discuss the rights or wrongs OF the
corporation over which I have the honor to
preside with the Enquirer newspaper,
which has recently become the champion
of hostile interest. Bus it is due to the
public that a distinct contradiction be
made of such utterly groundless assertions
as the following:
"The Richmond and Aqua Creek road,
owned in Philadelphia and abroad, is, as is
believed, at this moment in compact with
the Baltimore and Ohio road to do the very
thing for which the Pennsylvania Central
is condemned by the Richmond and Aqua
road for attempting to do"
have only to say that there is not the
slightest foundation in truth for the above
statement, nor has there been any consul
tation, correspondence. or conference or
the subject between the authorities Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company anc
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto'
mac Railroad Company, or between any
one acting in their behalf
Again: ''The Fredericksburg road has
contract with the:Seaboard road, which
farbade its cotton transportation over it,
line of road"
Utterly without foundation. No such
contract, understanding, or promise, ma:
ever existed, or been proposed, or sug
gested. Why does not the Enquirer charge
the Petersburg and Weldon and the Rich
mond and Petersburg companies with being
parties to this dreadful I" contract? Why
are the vials of its wrath poured out upon
"the poor old Fredericksburg road "
alone. +. '. DANIEL, JR.

The friends of the Pennsylvania "craw-

Having held up to our eyes the bait OF
1926 fare to Washington we had right to
expect q taste, but when an attempt is
made to engraft upon their charter pro-
vision that they shall not charge more than
three cents per mile, they fairly howl with

This evidence of the utterly unreliable
character of the promises of the Pennsyl-
