Substantial Industries.

- N- SAANh nAf G-EA
Mr.. ". A. G., of Huntsville, a man. who
seems to be interested in building up sub
staniial industries in his county, has made
inquiry of me by private kttcr concerning
the cost Of stsrtiig and running certain
manufactures. As this is subject of pub
iic interest l will submit an answer through
your columns. 1t is a source Of happiness
to me if | find myself able II contribute a
mite toward tho material wealth of the
country.
For a capital of $4,000 l would advise
the establishment Of a tannery with q boot
and shoe factory connected The following
are my reasons;
The manufacturer employs chemical and
mechanical agencies in producing leather
from raw hides and boots and shoes from
the leather By experimenting the pro-
duction OF both the leather and the articles
he IS enabled TO say c~onScientiously to the
purchaser, "NOur boots and shoes are good,
for the materials have been prepared ac-
cOrding to the best rules of the art and
wrought up by skilled workmen." The
leather is tanned slowly, both sole and up
per, III a weak solution of bark. Most of
the boots and shoes brought from the East
are made OF brittle. and spOngy leather
tanned quickly in a strong solution. Good
quality both of leather and workmanship.
will certainly secure custom and cause the
Eastern shOe-trade to dwindle away.

a beginning; TO build a store aud work.
shop, a smckehOuse and a bark mill: to
purchase f~leshing-knives and all the neces-
sary tools; to buy the hides and pay the
hands.
Hides may be bought easily in this coun-
try, and there is plenty of oak bark, which
may be had cheaply.
Well tanned leather can be disposed of
at any time for cash; hut wrought up in
boots and shoes it will pay a finer profit.
Good wOrkmen can be had in Cincinnati
without any trouble. They will gladly 60

This is a worthy addition 30 the authors

feel competent to assure the admirers of
Christian Reid that in the daughter of
BOhemia" they viii find a fiction quite equal

and fresh, the time of its action being the
past three or four years The characters
are not unnatural and the plot possesses
considerable dramatic interest; it uniform
ly displays graceful and pleasing ingenuity,
An obvious Characteristic of its predecessors.
The work is utterly innocent OF rad
icaliSm. No great social problem is dealt
with. as the position Of. woman or

He affirms that "whatever is incredible I'm
the story is true;;' and while giving what
he claims to be a faithful account of the
habits and customs of the pioneers of the
West at the beginning of the present cen-
tury, he admits that 1t is impossible to
write of this heroic race of men without
enthusiasm. Not avoiding this impossi-
bility he has written with enthusiasm and
produced a work which viii be read with
interest by all classes. Though originally
published as a serial in the Nelv York
Christian Union, its present form will be
greatly more acceptable TO the public.

SOME of the Greenland glaciers attain a
vast size. DIR. Kane reports the great
Humboldt glacier as sixty miles wide at its
termination. Its seaward face rises abruptly
from the level of the crater to a height of
three hundred feet, but it is not known
how deep it may extend under the sea.
Another important ice-stream is the Glazier
of Eisblink, on the northwest part of the

TEXAS is developing an i~nexhaustible
supply for salt. Her bayous are veritable
mines of wealth, if properly worked. One
of these-the Laguna Madre-is one hum
dred N twenty miles long, and from three
to six miles broad, and not more than eigh-
teen inches deep. The water is rapidly
evaporated, and the salt settles in great
quantities in the bottom. The amount of
salt from this source is estimated at 10000
900 bushels in the season, which, it is said,
can be placed on navigation at ten cents per

How to Become Distingnishsd.

As general rule, the best place for
young man to begin life is right where
ne Is. He need not go a hundred, or
three hundred, or q thousand miles
away from home to try the world; that
particular spot where he lives Is q part
OF the world, and just as good place to
.ry as some other particular spot three
hundred miles of. In the Eastern
states, where society is settled, and
Things change but little, where business
y held IN fixed channels, and certain
families have 3 prescriptive right TO do
everything that is done, there is not
much indueement for young man to
remain ut home unless he possesses the
genius and enterprise to break through
tue traditions and regulations that
hamper him, but no such condition of
things exist out West, there everything
is nv, fresh and plastic; and q young
man may do his part in moulding
thing 10 his purpose.
1t = very common mistake for
yOun. ters, who have not butted their
tender reads against the hard angles of
of the world, to imagine they possess
Superior talent, ii they only had an op-
portun y to exhibit il. IL they live on
farm, here is no chance there to show
their genius. If they live in q country
town, it is entirely too small to spread
their wings in. They yearn for great
city, where talents are appreciated, and
imagine that there is the field for them
to rise to eminence and wealth, and yet
they had better stay right where they
are, and make their beginning in the
locality where they were raised. II
they really possess genius or special
aptitudes they may first develop them
and test the metal they are made of in
the limited sphere Of their native place,
and, if the experiment proves salts
factory, afterwards transfer them to q
wider sphere of action. Thousands Of
young men who go to great cities to try
the world, find the world in such cities
too much for them, and they learn too
late that it would have been better for
them to make their trial In humber
and safer sphere.

A Word to Wives.

How often do we see bright homes
darkened, prospects blighted, aspirations
crushed ? And with curiosity natural
to mortal we wonder what evil spirit
presides over the destiny of man, to
cause so much discord and misery. But
we do not think las a general thing
that the evil could be avoided with but
| little Inconvenience to ourselves. OF
course we all believe that the fault is
ours, my sisters. It is because we fail
in the performance of our duties as
wives, and consequently our homes, in
stead of being the .abOde of peace and
l harmony, are filled with discord and
contention. And from experience / will
/ tell you wherein We fail. Because VIC
sometimes allow cloud to rest upon
our faces, sometimes allow our feelings
TO come 10 the surface. 1t matters not,
my sisters, though your heart be heavy
as lead, when you hear the footsteps of
your lord and master approaching, you
must summon to your face a bright
smile. 1t matters not though YOU NAV
be, comparatively speaking, literally
crushed beneath your load Of cares and
sorrows, you must always meet your
husband with bright smiles and cheer
full voice. For perhaps he has spent the
day in his dull, dreary, and lonesome
office, sitting with his feet elevated at
an angel Of forty-five degrees, smoking
choice cigars and drinking-ale with
his boon companions, and of course after
day thus spent in attending to his bus
iness, when he returns home he desires
to find that house cheerful and pleas
ant, and yourself neatly attired. 1t
may be you have spent the day over the
wash-tub or attending to sick children,
yourself sick, it is all the same; remem-
ber your first thought, your chief duty,
is to see to the comforts OF him who has
bestowed upon you the great honor of
his name. and given to you the protec-
tion of his home. For of course YOU
were homeless, friendlcss, and penniless
when he eondeseended to employ you,
at reduced rates, as his house Keeper,
laundress, dairy-maid, seamstress, nurse
and COO - after your have made
him CO, re in drcssing-gOwn, slip
pers and ,.sm-chair, with table beside
him covered with hooks, smoking para
phernalia, and newspapers, lest the fret
ting of your sick child should disturb
him in his reading, you must steal
away to some remote part of the house,
and there with your lullaby soothe your
moaning child to rest. When you won
/ your husband, the roses of health were
/ blooming on your cheeks, the light of a
new joy sparkled in your eyes; your
mind, too, was stored with useful knowl-
edge, and you must not forget as you
pass along to devote the requisite
amount of time to the preserving and
cultivating those charms which first at
tracted him, lest when the beauty fades
/ from your face it may bloom for him
upon another. And now, my sisters, be
entreated by one who feels an interest
in your welfare, to remember at all
times and under all circumstances to
meet your husband with a smile.-P.E f..

How Soil WAS MADE.-The late Prof
Agassiz claimed that all the materials
on which agricultural progress depends
are decomposed rocks, and not so much
those that underlie the soil, but those
on the surface, and ground to powder by
the glaciers. Ice all over the continent
is the agent that has ground out more
soil than all other agencies put together
The penetration of water into the rocks,
forests, running water and baking suns
have done something, but the glaciers
more. In a former age the whole
United States was covered with ice sew
eral thousand feet thick, and the ice
moving from north to south by the at
traction of the tropical warmth OF press
ing weight of the snow and ice behind,
ground the rocks over which was called
soil. These masses of ice can be tracked
bv the hunter. Professor Agassiz made
n study in this country as far south as
AIabama, and had observed the same
phenomenon in Europe, particularly in
italy. where, among the Alps, glaciers
are now in progress. The stones and
rocks ground and polished by the gla-
ciers can easily be distinguished from
those scratched by running water. The
angular boul 1ers found in meadows and
the terraces of rivers not reached by
waters can be accounted for only In this
way.
