this anniversary year, 10 our common
country, In tie spirit Of patriots ANA
statesmen, let us remember, mat not
withdrawing the bitter remains OF the
past, ils quarrtls aud arrangements,
we ARE stlll one people-descended
from tho same great ancestry, speak
ing the same language, lnheritlng the
same love for liberty aud should go
forward hand In hand 10 meet the
same glorious destiny.
IL IL true, that the fierce war from
which we have emerged, M from fur
mace, cut down the best and brayest
Of our comrades and brothers and slres
and sons Of either section but they
died not In vain, whether wearing the
blue or wearing the grey-tbeir lives
were offered up freely, like libatlons OF
water, for what each dying soldier
deemed for the right, and for native
land. In their graves, made immortal
by the same ancestral heroism OF race
and blood, let us'bury forever the ieuds
OF that stirring hour OF our history.
In this generous and knightly spirit,
Texas to-day sends fraLernal greeting
TO her sister States OF the Union.

ATANNER In New York Is endeav-
oring to utilize the human skin by
tanning. He took the skin from the
brest stomach and back of man in
q dissecting room, who had died sud-
denly from an accident. The epider-
mis- was placed in a solution of hem
lock and white oak bark, and in three
weeks was duly tanned and converted
into pair of boots. The boots were
not BACKED but retained the light
brown color that the tanning had
created. The leather so made is some
what coarser thon calf skin, aud more
porous. 1t il estimated, after allow
ance for ordinary waste, that the skin
OF an averaged-sized man will make
two pairs of boots including soles.
This tanner is yet experimenting with
aview to preserve the original white
ness OF the skin. There is All editor or
Two In Texas whose cutiele he would
hnd almost impervious to fannie acid,
/. but we would have no objections to his
experimenting upon them.
