WHAT CLAY THINKS OF GRANT.

In a letter TO the Liberal Republican
Convention that recently met in jefferson
City, Cassius NJ. Clay, of Kentucky, one
Of the Oldest and ablest Abolitionists of
the country, indorses the Liberal move
ment, and thus speaks Of Grant and the
present Radical party: tf
|. Slavery being dead I resist with the
| same earnestness that did its existence
the attempt Of the Grant conspirators to
subjugate the South and to make us pro-
yincial for all time to more than Roman
| imperialism. a..4....s-....--
denounce the attempt to weaken us by
a studied policy of srraying the blacks
against the whites. l denounce the de.
sign of barbarizing us, by the corrupt and
irresponsible rule of men from the North,
who have no common interest in our af-
fairs, who divide our people and waste our
substance.
denouncc the attempt to reverse the
natural order of things, by srtjecting. by
constitutional changes aud ingeniously
contrived laws, the intelligence and pro-
perty Of the South to ignorance and pau
perism.
denounce the enmity Of the Grant rule
to the independence of Cuba; because
they know that Cuba must in interest
finally gravitate toward and belong to the
South.
l denouncc the union of the powers of
the executive, judicial, and legislative
department in the military head of tho
nation.
deuounce the ncpotism, favoritism,.
and corruption and prescription of tho
Grant Administration. as'g
l denounce the scheme Of subjecting
men and measures to the end of re.elect--
ing military chieftain.
And last aud above all, I protest against
the unconstitutional and despotic interfer--
ence with the right of peaceable assembla-
yes Of the people and the ballot. box, BY

The denomination and re election Of
Grant is to consolidate all these usurpa-
tions and abuses, and open up highway
to the overthrow Of our liberties"

!. KANGAROO LEATnER.-A consignment
of 1000 salted kangaroo skins was received
in San Francisco, several months since,
from Australia, and purchased by parties
who propose to convert them into leather.
The skins are now being tanned at a tan
merry located on the beach opposite Yerba
Bueua Island, on the northern outskirts
of Oakland. The skin of the kangaroo is
quite thin but exceedingly tough, and
when tanned into leather is very pliable
and soft, wearing q long time without
cracking, and turning water better than
calf skin. Tanned alligator skins from
Mexico and Central America are com.
mon article in the San Francisco market,
and are nsAd to a 4annsidarahla exfant in
manufacturing boots, where strength and
capacity to resist water are more desired
than fancy fis or elegance Of appearance
but kangaroo is emphatieally a new seusa.

I How LONG 1T TAXES TO READ THE
BIBLE THRoUGH.-E!der Weaver, man
who has preached the gospel with good
success for fory.fve years, who is now
settled over the Babtist church in Volun-
town, stated in an address to the Sunday
school in the Congregational church in
Jewett city that he had heard man say
that he had read the Bible through 10
sixty hours. Determined to ascertain
whether the individual told the truth or
lie, he sat about it himself, and read the
whole of it aloud to his wife in fifty-nine
hours and something over thirty minutes.
He read sometimes an hour, and sometimes
two hours day, keeping tho exact time;
with the result indicated above. aa

ORIGIN OF MANY FIREs.-" 1t is not
known how the FIRE caught" This is q
very common expression in newspaper
account of q FIRE. Carelessness usually,
and often in this way: Rats have an un-
accountable fondness for the taste of phos-
phorus, and to this fact may be attributed
the origin of many mysterious fires. These
rodents build their nests of ipaammaalo
materials, and take to them any stray
matches that they may find lying around
loose. This accomplished, they undertake
to crafty their appetitos by nibbIing the
coated ends of the matches, which are at
once igui,ed, when tho nest is set in blaze,
and the destruction of the house, or per-
haps the ship which contains it, follows.
Great care should always be taken with
matches. ..as.l 81 ia

CURIosITIEs OF THE EARTH.-At the
city of Modena, in Italy, and about four
miles around it, wherever the earth is dug
when the workmen arrive at distance Of
sixty-three feet, they come to bed Of
chalk, which they bore with an auger five
feet deep. They then withdraw from the
pit before the auger is removed, and upon
its extraction the water bursts up through
the aperture with great violence, and
quickly fills this newly made well, which
continues full, and is effected neither by
rains or drouths. But what is most re-
markable in this operation is the layers of
earth as we descend. At the depth of
fourteen feet are found the ruins of an
ancient city, paved streets, houses, floors,
and different pieces of mosaic work.
Under this is found soft. oozy earth,
made up of vegetables, and twenty-six
feet deep, large trees entire, such as wal
nut trees with the walnut still sticking
to the stem, and the leaves and branches
in a perfect state of preservation. At
thenty.eight feet deep, soft chalk is
found, mixed with large quantity Of
shells, aud this bed is eleven feet thick.
Under this, vegetables are again found.

LOVE OF THE BEAUTlFUL.-Place a
young girl under the care Of kind hearted
woman, aud she unconsciously to herself,
grows into a graceful young lady. Place
boy in the establishment Of q through
going straight forward business man and
the boy becomes sclfreliant, practical
business man. Children arc susceptible,
creatures, and circumstances, scenes and
actions always impress. As you influence
them, not by arbitrary rules, nor by stern
example alone, but thousand other ways
that speak through beautiful forms, pretty
pictures, ETC., SO they viii grow. Teach
your children then, to love the beautiful.
Buy for them pretty pictures and en-
courage them to decorate their rooms in
his or her childish way. Give them an
inch and they will go a mile. Allow them
the privilege and they will make your
home beautiful. .s..... 'aas.

SUBSTITUTE FOR GurTA PERcHA-A
novel Substitute for gutta percha has just
beech utilized. 1t is marine plant,
washed up on the shores in the vicinity of
the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, and
has come into considerable use as a sub
stitute for gutta percha and similar sub
stances, iu the manufacture Of fancy arti-
cles, such as canes, picture frames, inlaid
work, &c. It is of dark color, and when
fresh it is thick and fesby; but when it is
dried it becomes compact, and its surface
looks like a beautifully grained dcer's
horn. After it becomes dry, it can be
rendered soft again by STEPPING in water;
and ID this condition may be stretched and
formed into various shapes. 1t can also
bo reduced, when dry, to powder, then
made plastic by soaking in water, and in
this condition may be struck into almost
any shape in a die press, cunning out Of
the mould like articles formed Of gutta
percha. sist~.. - =" -sf t st

necessity of governing children.

will break child's spirit. One ought to

man was carpenter: aud he said to hun
self and others:
IF was only rich, would show pco-
pie how to give"
In his dream he saw a pyramid of silver
dollars-all new, bright aud beautiful.
just then voice reached him saying:
"Now is your time. You are rich at
last let us see your gen"rosiiy.' So he
rose from his seat, and went to the pile to
take some money for charitable purposes.
But the pyramid was SO perfect that he
could not bear to break it. lie walked all
around it, but found no place where he
could take dollar without spelling the

shoul not be broken, and then he awoke

he would be generous only while compar-

RAILROAD MANAGEMENT.-It is now
understood that Thomas a. Scott has dis
posed Of his interest in the Union Pacific
Railroad, and purchased controlling
power in the Southern Pacific or Texas
route and it is now also announced that
Mr.. Vanderbilt has become connected with
the Union Pacific road and that it is his
intention to inaugurate n cheap system Of
rates for the transportation Of passengers
This policy he has practiced uniformly on
the New York Central II ilroad, of which
he is the President and directing spirit.
A correspondent rel,tcs how he has made
his management there complete success,
and it will undoubtedly operate just as
we'll on the Great Overland Route. The
Directors of the Central Pacific road are
said to be in cooperation with Vanderbil,'s
plan, and have an arrangement by which
through tickets and bills Of lading are
given to passengers and irei 5ht shippers
in order to avoid confusion and delay.

Low-NEOKED DRESSES.

0VV -4"AS&A4SO O@sh6SbHs
The fashion Of low.nccked dresses, and
what is called square-necss," has become
universal. There are reasons for as we'll
as against. Some persons have beautiful
shoulders and arms, though it must be
said that in America such beauties are few
aud far between. Let these wear low
necked dresses they have some excuse
for it. '.u sHt" Aaa
But oh in the namc of all that shocks
the aesthetic sense! why, why do woufco
aud girls whose nccks are scraggy. whose
arms are ditto, wear dresses that expose
those infrmities to the public or to the
social gaze?
Why are these necks aud these arms not
suppressed in the sympathetic bosoms of
the family of the sufferers?
Bones are not beautiful. The ideal is
not a skeleton.
Then, in the neck question, there is an
other phase. Don't orerdo 1t. Do not
expose yourself to such remarks as the
Spanish envoy made about the celebrated
and beautiful-such she certainly was

Again, This was at ball at the house
of Madame R-h once-she is no longer

Philadelphia. A lady entered who was as
noted for her beauty as any New York
belle has ever been. She possessed q

and soft as satin, her arms Of irreproach.

noted wit, when asked by his daughter
Sarah what he thought of the beauty s
appearance at that particular ball, replied !:

triumph in being the subject Of such re.
marks as these.
l do not say, {" Let low-uccked dresses
be abolished" They have long been the
distinguishing feature between evening and
day attire. But do say, do urge that
American bellies, at least, should have the
good sense never to go beyond certain linn
its.
The square. .nccked dresses are less open
to comment G do not mean to pun; but
some of them are rather too-what shall l
say ?-to0 much so.
