Manufacture OF Leather.

People generally know that leather Is
made by stepping hides in an infusion
of certain vegetable substances which
contain a compound called tannin. The
cheapest source of this tanning prlncl-
pie is oak bark, but it is found In great
er or less quantity in many other pants,
as in the grape, the hop, coffee, tea, ETC.,
and from these it can be dissolved out
with water. Although this is known,
the principle is not generally known;
The science of it may be understood
when it is explained that the skins OF
animals consist mainly of albumen and
gelatine indeed these substances are
abundant in all animal matter. In the
blood and in milk the albumen is mere
ly suspended, as it were. IN the water
which constitutes by far the Larger Por-
ton of these fluids. Tannin and albu-
men have remarkable affinity for each
other, and unite as soon as they are
brought in contact. The result OF their
union is the insoluble, rough material
which gives leather its distinctive char
ter. When the hide is stepped IN the
infusion of oak bark, and the albumer
of the former thus combines with the
tannin of the latter, the loose. SOL
tissue of the skin is converted into hard,
tough leather.

A Smart Dog.

The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer re-
lates the following instance OF dog
testifying in his own behalf In a police
court in that city;
Wednesday, it will be remembered,
Mr.. Spears was before the police court,
charged With keeping a vicious dog,
and the animal was ordered to be killed.
Subsequently, however, the execution
of the sentence was suspended, as the
evidence upon which he was convicted
was &c pdrte, and new trial was grant
ed. The case came up yesterday morn
ing. and large number of persons tes-
titled as to the good character OF tie
dog. and the whole matter resolved It
self into the fact that he had scared the
gentleman who complained OF his at
lacking MIN by rough play. Neverthe-
less. to make assurance doubly sure,
at the request of his master. he was put
upon the stand to testify In his owl
case. On being asked if he would bite
any one, he uttered a peculiar noise ane
shook his head. He was then asked i
he would bite any one if his master sc
him on. and replied in the affirmative
by nodding his head and barking
When ,.sse3 if he would bite the court
he pI:c1 in the negative. Severa
Other questions were asked hun, an
his answers and actions exhibited tn
greatest intelligence. 1t is needless {
saw he was honorably acquitted.

CAN III BE TRUE ?-Within the last
few months q considerable number OF
persons have called upon DR.. Walker.
the proprietor of the popular medicine
known as VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured
him that. in their belief, his prepare
ton is an infallible antidote for rum
and tobacco. The minute details which
have been furnished him forbid him TO
doubt the accuracy of the statements.
This new claim of great remedy to the
confidence of the public will give vast
and well-deserved impulse to its popu-
larity. Heretofore the BITTERs have
been recognized as pure vegetable
tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol,
ana thoroughly adapted to the cure OF
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous
disorders, bilious affections, muscular
diseases, and, indeed, majority OF the
ailments within the reach of medicine
but if it will also cure the craving fol-
liquor and tobacco, philosophers,
statesmen and theologians ought to
unite their voices in its praise. Can
the good news be true? 1t is easy to
test the question.

The HapnIest Period.

Ever since the world began this has
been disputed question. and ever since
the world began the majority OF the
people have generally misiudged. Thor
oughly dissati fed with any present
time, we cast about for golden age.
We cannot find it in the future, as the
cloud of uncertainty hangs on the hor1-
ION in that direction. We are compelled
therefore to explore the past.
The Immediate past, with its facts and
disappointments, is too fresh In our
memory to allow US to throw the re-
uuired halo about it, and so we con-
tinue our journey until we get to the
point where memory grows dim and the
imagination works actively, and we cal
that the hale, halcyon period OF hfe
This distant future and distant past are
both creations of the fancy.
To say that childhood is the happiest
period of life is TO offer insult to Provi-
dence. The child is at best but bun
die of possibilities. He is acreature OF
unframed impulses, of undeveloped
affections. His mind is like CRATE IN
a well ordered house. The coal is there,
the kindling- wood is there, and the
whole Will break into blaze when
touched with match. Now, before
the match has touched it, it is pleas
anter and more profitable sight than
half dozen Jumps of camel coal en-
veloped in a royal blaze. and filling the
room SO full of light and heat that one
forgets the wintry sleet without child
hood. with its sugar plums and its toys
will be inferior TO manhood, with 1t
burning enthusiasm and its lofty ambl
ton.

breaking i'm Shoes.

The Herald of Health has the follow
ing ON breaking in boots and shoes.
It is true to the letter.
1. Never "break in" new boots or
shoes. If they are not easy when new
don't take them, for the boots will break
your feet oftensr than your feet Will
break the boots.
2. If you go ON "breaking IN boot
leather you will need a special last
made with all sorts of knobs and pro-
tuberances to correspond with your dis
torted Joints. Then you will be sorry.
3. If you have large feet, admit it IL
all honesty, and have your boots made
accordingly. Then ycu will be happy
4. If your shoemaker don't know
enough to make easy boots and shoes
refuse to take his work, and tell him to
learn his trade before asking your pa
tronage.

Prescription for the Cure of Drunken
ness.

There is a curious prescription In En-
gland for the cure of drunkenness, by
Which thousands are said to have been
assisted in recovering themselves. The
recipe came into notoriety through the
efforts of John Vine Hall, father OF Rev.
Newman Hall and Capt. Vine Hail,
commander of the Great Eastern steam
ship. He had fallen into such habltual
drunkenness that his utmost efforts to
regain himself proved unavailing. At
length he sought the advice OF an emf
nent physician, who gave him a pre-
scription which he followed faithfully
for several months, and at the end OF
that time he had lost all desire for
LIQUORS. although he had for many years
been led captive by most debasing ap-
netite. The recipe, which he after.
wards published, and by which sc
many have been assisted to reform, Il
AS follows: "Sulphate of iron. 3
Grains magnesia, 10 grains; pepper
mint water, II grains; spirit OF nut
meg. 1 drachm to be taken twice =
day." This preparation acts as tome
and stimulant, and SO partly supple
the place of the accustomed liquor, am
prevents that absolute physical an
moral prostration that follows sudde
breaking off from the use of stImuia'
ing drinks.

Mexico's Liberal inducements to lnnni-
snh urantS-

If person desires to 90 to Mexico to
live, now Is the time to start. For a
plan to encourage immigration" the
law recently passed by the Mexican
Congress surpasses anything In the way
of liberality that we have yet heard OF.
In the first place, according to the Alta
California, it appropriates $500, 900 to
assist immigrants this year. They are
to be carried at the expense of the re-
public 'sfrom the place of their resi-
dence;" provisions will be furnished
them during the voyage; they will re-
ceive $50 for their support in the first
year, and if they are dissatisfied at the
end of the second year, the republic
will pay their way back to their native
country. When fifty families or more
settle in one colony, they may constitute
a municipal corporation, elect their own
officials and adopt ordinances for their
local government, not inconsistent with
the state and federal laws. Their lands
are to be free from tax Except munich
pal taxes) for FIVE years, and all their
provisions, tools and material for
houses, shall be imported free of
duty, and any vessel bringing
more than ten immigrants shall be free
from tonnage, lighthouse, anchorage
and pilotage duties. All immigrants
are declared citizens from the moment
of their arrival, and they enjoy all the
political and civil rights of native citi-
zens. Public lands will be set apart for
them, and each man who desires to till
the soil will receive not less than Tho OF
more than 1, 100 acres, which he can
cultivate without charge for ten years,
and at the expiration Of that period may
purchase, either paying the full price
down or one-tenth annually for ter
wears more. Sites suitable for towns
will be surveyed, and a lot will be offered
to every immigrant, who, however, is not
restricted to lands now wild, but may
settle in any of the towns, cities OF
agricultural districts. The law implies
that the immigrant may follow any
mechanical or laboring occupation. ano
we presume it intends 10 give the same
liberty to professions, but these are no
mentioned

The Indian War.

Indian hostilities appear to have broken
out from two quarters at the same time
One of these is to the south and west Of
Kansas, in the country ranged over by the
Comanches, Kioways and Cheyennes; and
the other in the Rocky Mountain region
to the northward Of the Union Pacific
Railroad, in the country ranged over by
several bands Of the Sioux, and which has
been set apart for them by treaty. The
Immediate causes of the hostile expeditions
against these Indians in both quarters are
depredations aud outrages by the indiana,
but the proximate causes in both cases
are depredations upon the Indians by the
whites. In the southwest Indian country,
a section Of Texas Is infested with rufians
and raiders who sell whisky to the Indians
and then plumber them. These "opera-
tons" Of the "traders" lead 10 "Indian
depredations,n and as the one predominant
trait of the savage Indian is blind retalia-
ton aud revenge for injury and injustice.
their course has been bloody and brutal.
Thus the way is led up to an Indian war,
with all its heavy expenses to the Govern
ment and all its profits to the border ira
ders. In the Sioux country the real causes
OF tho hostilities are not so plain, but there
is probable explanation in the fact that
the Black Hill country, which belongs ex-
clusivcly to them by treaty, is supposed to
be rich in silver aud gold veins, aud is, for
that reason, a tempting field for 'prospec-
tors." Several exploring expeditions have
been projected, and one Of them had to be
stopped because the Sioux objected to this
invasion Of their exclusive territory. Now,
the Government, notwithstanding the trca-
ty, seems to be engaged in one Of these
exploring inyasions. This the Sioux re-
sent. II may be that gold aud silver
claims will account for this war Several
bands of the Sioux have become civilized,
and are engaged in useful occupations
All of them might be if they were left
unmolested - Philaielptid Letiqer.
