men have a remarkable affinity for each

which gives leather its distinctive char

How TO INITIATE MAnoGASY.-A
method OF treating ordinary wood SO as
to produce an almost undis,inguishable
imitation Of mahogany as practiced yery
extensively in France ut the present
time, consists in first planning the sur
face 50 us % render il perfectly smooth
and then rubbing il with diluted nitrous
acid, which prepares il for the materials
subsequently, to be applied. After.
wards, one ounce and half of the gum
called dragons blood, dissolved ia a
pint OF alcohol and one.third of that
quantity Of carbonate of soda, are 10 be
mixed together and filtered and the
liquid IN this state is to be rubbed or
rather laid, upon the wood with a soft
brush. This process is repeated with
but little alteration, and in a very short
interval afterwards the wood assumes
ne external appearance Of mahogany.
When this application has been properiy
made, the s1rlaoe will resemble that Of
q mirror; and If the polish shorld be.
come less brilliant. rubbing the wood
with littla cold drawn linseed oil will
restore tho former luslre. For all the
various uses to which mahogany as au
ornamental wood, is applied, this French
substitute is adapted.

A great and important question Is, where shall

humiliatiug as Il is ruinous for us To send mil
lions of dollars out Of our State annually for
Life Insurance that should be Kept at home.
Money In Maryland Is source, iHtersd Aigh, and

for this, because equal intelligence and equal

| from early life, was earnest and const ant
against slavery, full of sympathy with
the colored race, and always foremost
in the great battle for their rights" and
adds, with the true spirit of Jesuit.
81 am so much of a Republican that
wish to see in the Presidential chair
lifetime Abolitionist.'' Mr.. Greeley has
recently shown himself as much of
Republican as he formerly showed HIM
self to be an Abolitionist. In 1859,
when human slavery was on the verge
of destruction, he abandoned the cause
of equal rights to fall into the arms OF
the Southern oligarchy, becoming y
rampant secessionist. In 1871, when
slavery had been abolished, and the
South reconstructed on the basis of ex-
act justice TO all, he abandoned the
party Of universal freedom aud equal
rights, and for the bribe of nomination
to the Presidency, made a secret bar
gain with the leaders of the Democratic
party, by which he agreed to sacrifice
the fruits of five years OF war and five
years OF reconstruction. and TO surren-.
der the control of the Government into
the hands of the men who raised their
reasonable hands against it in the hour
of its recent peril.
The more carefully Mr.. Greeley's
record is scanned, and the more criti.
caiiy the prominent acts of his life are
examined, the more hollow and heart
less appears his character. To strip
from him every attribute of humanita-
rianism, so far as his record as an Aboli.
ZIONIST is concerned, it is only necessary
to review the utterances of his news
paper just previous to the breaking out
of the rebellion. To become convinced
of his insatiate thirst for Office, it is
only necessary to read his letter to
Seward, written in 1854 and published
in 1860. To be assured that, instead of
being magnanimous he is revengeful, it
is only necessary to recall his pursuit of
Seward from 1854 till 1860, when he
first supported Bates, and then Lincoln,
from no higher m olives than to defeat
the nomination of his fancied enemy
to the Presidency. To reach the logical
conclusion that he has been utterly de-
bauched by the school of politics in
which he has been trained for forty
years, until he has become a fit instru.
ment in the hands of bad men for the
accomplishment of the basest political
purposes, it is only necessary to study
the nature of the coalition of which he
has recently become the candidate for
the Presidency.

A California Sensation.

San Francisco has latel' enioved a
sensation a little outside the general
run. 1t appears that recently a book
keeper of large -four mill in that city
was in the habit of giving "good dav"
to an individual who often passed the
mills. One day, after SOME converse.
ton, the unknown man requested the
pleasure of the book keepers company
at dinner. The offer was not refused,
and both enjoyed a sumptuous repast,
during which sundry bottles of cham
payne were dispo ed OF. This perform
ance is the last the book keeper recol-
lecis until the following morning, when
he found himself on board an outward
bound ship. He was of course con-
fined, and when he had partially col
lected his senses, he demanded an
explanation from the mate, and after
wards from the captain. The latter
officer produced papers Of agreement
signed by the bookkeeper to make a
voyage in the ship as a common sailor.
The young man could not deny the
signature, though he satisfied the cap
tain that he had been unconscious when
it was obtained. A. $7j had been paid
10y the ships company for that sigma
ture, the unfortunate Young man was
compelled to produce an equal amount
before he was permitted 10 depa! I.
