The Shoe and Leather Reporter, in review Of
the leather business for tho year 1872, furnishes
some interesting information It appears that
the season has not been succossful one. fnan-
cially. The extreme high prices prevalent dur
ing and Immediately after the var, induced q
large increase in tho number Of tanne1ies. and
greatly stimulated production throughout the
country, aud during the past few years the sup
ply has steadily exceeded the consumptiye de-
aand, so that the capital now employed in this
department Of industry pays only g very small
interest. During the past twelve months the
large expectations OF leather to England and Ger
tho surplus stock, and the year 1873 promises
more fayorahly for the producer. Tho total e1-
ports Of leather from Now York and Boston in
1872 amounted to considerably over ono million
sides, On which it is estimated that the tanner
did not realize moro than 6D7c per 10 for tau
ming Tho late advance in prices Was generally
supposed to be tho direct result OF the Boston
fire, but tho fact that prices now show no mate
RAJ change from those established immediately
after thai event leads the writer Of the review to
infer that prices would hare reached the present
point BY the close Of the year, had the Boston
fire not have occurred. =

The Smokers Millennium

The golden age of the smokers par
adise has at length arrived. There has
landed upon the sacred soil of Virginia
a German fact which, taken by itself
might not appear a very startling prop
osition, because Germans have arrived
before, and may in all probability ar
rive again. This Is a professor, and
his mission is to lay tobacco smoke in
houses like gas. Now, may the lord Of
creation smoke the calumet beneath his
own vine and fig tree. none makeing him
afraid. The millennium of smoke ap-
proaches. Death to matrimony. The
nlOdus Operandi is thus-wise The to-
bacco is burned in large retorts, and the
smoke passes through pipes to a large
receptacle of boiler iron, where it will
be cooked, purified and so scented that
it viii have the flavor Of the finest Ha-
vana cigar. From the smokometer,
main pipe will lead up into the city,
and from this will be run small branch
pipes, leading to all the principal houses
in town. A meter will guage the guam
tity, Just like gas. In each room there
viii be a long, flexible tube with an
amber mouth-piece, and the smoker will
only have to turn on a small silver
tbumb-screw ana the thing is done.
Delicious ideal Who but a German
couId have dreamt of it? Nor Is this
all. The undaunted professor, this
Fulton of smoke-stacks, has invented
India rubber receptacIes Sitting to the
chest, which, when filed with smoke,
viii greatly improve the appearance.
The thing is beautifully and easily done.
Tube and mouth-piece in waistcoat
pocket. Every man his own smokome-
ter. Slang of the future-Knock the
smoke out Of you. In the professors
plan the smoke will be free from mois-
ture, and, joking aside, we should not
be surprised if it might not prove a
great boon 10 those for whom smoking
is q necessary and delightful evil.

Taking Wood on the River.

At one point, when we supposed we
were comfortably holding our wav in
the channel, torch-light fared up, and
showed Us nearing a scraggy bank Tho
thin, long prov of the boat ran upon
the land. Gangways were lowered g;
pIanks were run from the boats side to
the bank, two score negroes sprang
from some mysterious recess below, and
assembled forward before the capstan.
The shower of harmless sparks from the
torches cast momentary red CLEANS
over the rude but kindly black faces.
A sharp-voiced white man, whom we
learned afterwards to call the Wasp"
because he always few nervoUsly about.
stinging the sprawling negroes into ac-
tlvity, thrust himself among the labor
ers. Twenty stings from his voice, and
the darkey forms plunged into darkness
beyond the gangways. Then other
torches were placed upon the bank
and long wood piles appeared. The
Wasp fitted restlessly from deck to
shore, while the negroes attacked the
wOOd-piIes, and each taking half o
dozen sticks, hurried to the deck with
them. Presently there was an endless
procession of black forms from the
woOd-piles to the vessel and plunging
back across the Pickering light, to tune
of loud adjuratiOns and oaths from the
Wasp. Now and then the dusky chain
of Iaborers broke into a rude chant, be-
ginning with a prolonged shout such as
90 OIL los my money darl"
and followed by gurgling laugh, as if
the singers were amused ut the sound
of their own voices. The Wasp, always
kindly and welI-disposed towards the
negroes, despite his rough ways, broke
into appeal, threat, and entreaty, when
one of the darkies stumbled or Jagged.
Then it was that he cried raspingly,
g You, Reuben % '' You, Black Hawk -
with an oath. Come on there, you
Washington amt you going to hear
me - Sometimes the Wasp sped among
the negroes, singing them into such ac-
tivity that a whole wood-pile vanished
as if swallowed by an earthquake. So
it was that in two hours and a half sixty
cords Of wood were transferred from the
bank to the boat, and the Wasp, calling
the palpitating wood-carriers around
him, thus addressed them, "Now, you
boys, listen. You, Black Hawk, do you
hear, You and these three, first watch
You, Reuben, and these three, second
watch - etc. The torches were dipped
in the river, the light Missed dying de-
fance at the dark, and the great white
boat once more wheeled around into
the channel. .-Scribner for December.

The Sleep of Plants

The phenomenon called the sleep Of
plants was first observed by the Illus
trious Swedish botanist, Linn@us. He
remarked in the bird's-f trefoiI the
difference between the attitude of the
leaves during the day and night. He
almost Immediately concluded that this
would prove to be a general phenome-
non in vegetable life. Continuing his
observations, LinDaus soon satisfied
himself that this change in the position
of leaves during the night is observable
in many vegetables. He regarded the
absence of light, and not the nocturnal
cold, as the principal cause Of the phe-
nomena for plants IN lighthouses close
themselves during the night, like those
in the open air. He found the differ
ence between waking and sleeping to be
much less apparent IN young plants
than in more matured ones, being most
clearly indicated among the compound
leaves. The object, ne Thought, Is to
shelter the young shoots from the effect
of the air. These strange phenomena
occur in all hygrom strical conditions Of
the atmosphere, and are uninduenced
by changes of temperature. De Can
dole, supposing the cause Of the phe-
nomena to be the absence of light, sub
iected plants TO the action OF artificial
light, with very varied results. lie
concluded from has experiments, that
the movements of sleeping and waking
are connected with some disposition IN

The Situation in Madrid.

The situation is grave There is a
serious misunderstanding bteween Min
lister SiclLes and the Spanish cabinet
On the arrival of the news of the cap
ture of the Virginius, President Castel
lar called at the United States legation
and expressed regret and ordered a sus-
pension of the sentence. When Secre-
tary Fish teIegraphed the news of the
executions, Gen. SicHles sent a note de
manding stay. The foreign secretary
answered, questioning the accuracy OF
the information, and intimating that
Gen. SickIes was not authorized. There
upon Gen. Siclzles in the name of the
United States addressed a formal pro
test against the inhumau butcheries and
insult to the United States flag, and
demanded that Spain should enforce
obedience to her orders In Cuba, and in
sisted on the rights of Americans
TO trial under treaty of 1896. He
complained that the American consul at
Santiago was prevented from using the
telegraph to Washington. The Spanish
minister answered that the whole mat
ter was wholya municipal affair between
Spain and the Virginius pirates. Spain
could not tolerate American interfeT-
ence. The interview ended by Gen.
Sickles demanding that Spain order
suspension Of executions. The Spanish
minister Of foreign affairs haughtily de-
cIined to permit Gen. SickIes to discuss
the municipal affairs Of Cuba. The in
terview terminated angriIy, Gen. Sickles
saying he would hold no more personal,
but only official relations with the min
lister. Public feeling runs high. The
Spanish government blames the United
States for the Cuban insurrectiOn, and
says they viii welcome war.
Minister Sickles says he does not see
how war can be avoided, as Spain
will concede nothing and public opinion
will prevent President CASTELAR, from
making any concessions. There IS no
use III the United States trifing any
more on the subject, Spanish stubborn
ness making concessions impossible.
The extreme republicans favor the views
Of the United States in the affair,
