The Rage for Sealskins

Some thirty years ago seal
skins were common enough
Boxes were covered with it,
gloves and driving mugs were
made Of it, cOstermonge9s and
cabmen cut their caps from it
Then came IL time when some
cunning lurier discovered how
to dye it rich dark brown and
to give it that exquisite soft and
downy texture whiEh is its chief
charm. At once the ladies al
dopted the luxury. 1t was soon
found that for cloaks, jackets,
muffs, dainty little hats, collars,
cuffs, bags, portemOnnaies, for
a thousand other articles of
feminine use, it was the most
delightful, the most beautiful,
the most Indispensable of all
possible materials. -
The demand for it increased
witha a rapidityalmost marvellous,
and the fashion, instead Of wear
ing itself out, has, if anything,
steadily increased. Indeed, the
best Alaska sealskins, like the
.furs Of the sable, the silver fox
and the Russian sea otter, COM
mand an altogether fancy price,
and a handsome jacket Of close
texture and uniform color, with
no white hairs to break the con-
tinuation Of its tint, will fetch
as many guineas as five-and-
twenty years ago it would have
fetched half-crowns. The re-
suit is that the lucklcss seals
have had waged against them
now for several years what prac-
tically amounts to a war of ex-
termination.

Tennessee Golgotha
Thousands of Skeletons Uncarthed
by the Recent Flood.

Thousands of Skeletons Uncarthed
by the Recent Flood. y
I The high water of the recent
food washed about four feet of
earth from ten or fifteen acres
Of land lying along the Tennes-
see river on the farm of Mr..
Prater, near Louisville, in Blount
county. About two feet of soil
was removed from the same
ground by the high tide of 1867.
When the waters subsidized, af-
ter the last flood, a strange
spectacle was presented. The
whole of the denuded area was
covered with skeletons. Some
were straight, some reclining,
some doubled up, and some in
sitting posture. There were
the osseous forms of infants, of
children and of full grown per-
sons. Mr.. Prater has counted
over a thousand forms. The
steamer City of Knoxville, on
her last trip, brought some of
these bones to Chattanooga,and
Mr.. Crawford, the clerk of the
Knoxville, presented us with a
skull. Persons who have lived
in the vicinity of this mysteri-
Gus cemetery for sixty-fve years
never heard of any human bodies
being discovered there before.
The skeletons, we understand,
are not found in a mound nor
in what appears to be an artifi-
cial formation Of the earth.
We understand one or more
mounds were washed away in
Meigs county, disclosing skele-
tors, stone hatchets, and pipes,
and implements common among
the Indians. The skeletons in
Blount county probably occupy
a burying ground, which per-
haps centuries ago was covered
up by the same agency which
has now exposed its occupants
to Chattanooga Times.

Poverty in New York.
Baltimore Gazette

St. Johns Guild, New York,
has distributed among the poor
this winter, from voluntary con-
tributions, over eleven thousand
dollars. The suffering there as
here, is very great, and every
means of relief is Welcomed
One scene met with, We give as
an instance to show to what
depth human beings may be re-
duced. In a small apartment, a
dark bedroom, warmed by a
charcoal fire, there were thir-
teen persons. Somewere stand
ing, some sitting or kneeling on
the floor. In the middle Of the
gathering there was lying upon
the floor a rusty tiE dish con-
tanning an assortment of gar
bage recently collected from the
ash barrels of the streets. There
were pieces OF potatoes, frozen
or partially diseased; potato
peelings, bits of decayed cab
bage leaves, and of turnips that
had been frost-bitten, and there
were crusts Of bread smeareG
with filth. Picking from this
dish, diving into it greedily with
soiled, thin, bony hands, and
eating Of its content ravenous-
ly, were these thirteen human
creatures. There was but little
that is terrible remaining for
these poor beings. They must
have suffered much before they
came to the pass when they
could eat greedily of so hOrri-
bic a mess. They could rot
have mendicant; for profession
al beggars live sumptuously.-
They were surely no thieves;
for property to the value of
millions was gathered up in the
building near them. What and
who were they? God knows.
They had come out of the shad-
ow up from the depths, and they
wanted to live, that was all.

How Money" is Made,

Gay" writing to the Louis
vile Courier-Joaunal of how
money is made at the Treasury
Department,says: "Take one
dollar treasury note and look at
lit. There is a fine steel engrav-
ing Of w ashington--the man, not
the city, in the middle of the
note. In the left-hand corner
there is the landing of Colum-
bus. There is fine lace-work
for the denomination, aad the
note has a lace-work border
Different artisans make these
designs. 1t is not all the work
Of one engrayer, for each one
has his speciality. No epgrav-
er can make two plates exactly
alike, no more than the same
man can paint two portraits SO
alike but what-there will be some
little shade. or line'in one that
does not exist in the other. So,
after the engrayers make de-
signs for the notes and the. Sec
'retary has accepted the degign,
the plate being Of hard metal is
subject to a cylinder of solid
steel, the metal Of which is soft
er than the plate. The cylinder
is laid on the plate and subjected
to pressure of from one to
twenty tons. As the plate is
depressed, so are the figures and
characters raised on the cylin-
der, which then undergoes a
hardening process, land the plates
for the notes are taken from the
cylinder. From these all our
notes are printed. By this pro-
cess every note printed is ex-
actly alike and counterleits can
be easily detected. These plates
and cylinders can be used con-
stantly for three months, when
the plate is retouched by skill
ful workmen, who have an a.
partment especially devoted to
their branch of work. In this
room there are many beautiful
specimens of fine steel engrav-
ings, for our country took the
prize at Vienna for such work"

THE GOLDEN SIDE.
BY +. NJ. HtBBErr.

There is many a rest in the road of life,
If we only would stop to take it,
And many a tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would makeit.
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and flowers are bright,
Tho the ,wintry storm prevalent.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
And TO keep the eyes still lifted,
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through
When the ominOus clouds are rifted!
There was never day without a night,
Or an evening without morning,
And the darkest hour, as the prOyerb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
THERE'S many gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
It may be the love of a little child,
Or a mothers prayer in heaven,
Or only beggaTs thanks,
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life,
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the minute, delicate threads
OF our curious life asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit, and grieve, and wonder.

A Sold Insurance Man,

Printers are naturally in for a
joke. They are proverbially fond
of fun; but TO look at them you
v ouldn't think it. Here is a good
joke a "printer-man" played On
his fellow Iodger in Pottsville: A
certain insurance man in town.
who boards at the same hotel with
one OF the hight compositors of the
Journal, in order to save the
subscription price to newspaper,
eQtered into an arrangement with
the printer to get the news az
soon as he got up. The printer
was to write out a brief sketch
| Of all the news and stick the pa
per under the insurance mans
door. A few mornings since
the latter got up and dressed
himself, excepting one boot and
stocking and his coat, when | C
espied the paper under his door.
He picked it up and read aa
follows: "Grant assassinated.
Country in an uproar. Mrs.
SartOris and Mrs. Grant carried
off by masked kidpapperS while
insensible. a member of the
Cabinet supposed to be the as
sassin. 100000 reward offer
ed by Congress-" Without
completing his toilet, he rushed
out Of the room and wakened
up several boarders, told them
of the great news, and scared
them out of their wits. We
leave our readers to conjecture,
if they cap, the disgust of the
whole party when they found
how they had been sold. The
insurance man has sworn to sub
scribe to paper. q.

Interesting Facts.

|
The organ of vision is con
sidered the most delicate organ
ization Of the human frame; yet
many who were born blind have
been enabled to see by surgical
operations, and the following is
an interesting fact concerning
one of that class:
A youth had become thirteen
years of age, when his eyes were
touched by q surgeon. He
thought scarlet the most beauti-
ful color; black was painful. =
He fancicd every object touch
ed him, and he could not distin-
guish by sight what he perfectly
well knew by feeling; for in
stance, the cat and dog. When
his second eye was touched, he
rema ked that the objects were
not so large in appearance to
this as the one opened at first.
Pictureshe considered only part
-ly-colored surfaces, and a minia-
ture absolutely astonished him,
seeming to him like putting a
bushel into pint.
Stanley, the organist, and
many blind musicians have been
the best performers of their
time; land a schoolmistress in
England could discover that the
boys were playing in a distant
corner of the room, instead of
studying, although person US
ing his eyes could not detect
the slightest sound.
Prof. Sanderson, who was
blind, could, in a few moments,
tell how many persons were in
a mixed company and of each
sex. A blind French lady could
dance III nSufe dances, sew ana
thread her own needle. a blind
man in Derbyshire, England,
has actually been Il surveyor and
planner Of reals, his ear gui-
ding him as to distance as accu-
rately as the eye to others; and
the late Justice Fielding, who
was blind, on walking into a
room for the first time, after
speaking a few words said,
"This roomis twenty-five feet
long, eighteen wide, and twelve
high" all of which was reveal
edto him with accuracy through
the medium Of the ear.
Verify. eve are fcarfully and
wonderfully made"

A Growing Nose.

Pierre Denisart, forty.seven
years of age, was taken to the hos
pital in Paris the other day, suf,
fering from a strange malady.
About two weeks previous he was
attacked by sudden pains in his
nose, and three days later be no.
ticed to his horror that his nose
was growing longer. The pain
continues and the nose is still
growing longer. 1t has already
grow6 more than an inch. The
saddest part of the story is that
Denisart has a very handsome
head, and has heretofore made his
living as a model. lie will now
be obliged to support himself by
exhibiting his nose. If Denisarts
nose continues growing at the
same rate, that is about an inch IN
ten days, it will touch the ground
in about twenty months.

Well hammered Children.

"Thank you, Charley" said
Mrs. Brown, as her little son
handed her a paper he was re-
quested to bring.
"Thank you, Bridget" said
the little fellow, a few hours af-
ter as he received a glass Of wa
ter from the nurse.
"Well, Mrs. Brown, you have
the best hammered children |
ever saw!" said a neighbor. Il
should be thankful if mine were
as polite to me as yours are to
the servants. You never spend
half as much time on your chill
dren's clothes as | do, and yet
every one notices them, they
they are so we'll behaved"
eve always try to treat our
children politely" was the qui-
ct reply.
This was the whole secret
When I hear parents grumbling
about the ill-manners of their
children, | always wish to ask,
"Have you always treated them
with poiiteness?" 1 once knew
a man, considered quite a gen
tleman in society, who would
speak to his children i'll a man
ner that a welI-instructed dog
would resent. He would order
them with a growl to bring his
slippers, or perform some other
little service; and yet he COM
planned Of the rudeness and dis
obedience Of his children.
