The Boor AND SHOE TRADE-A Boston
reporter among the boot and shoe men
CLEANS the following opinions "The
profits OF manufacturers to-day are not
worth the risks they are taking in the
business. But the question is, What is
profitable nowadays? II general BUSH
ness RECEIVERS throughout the country, as
we expect and hope it will, the boot and
shoe business may once again look up"
A leather man says: al am believer in
protection where It will protect, but
have no doubt the country now is more
ready for reciprocity Of trade with for
eign nations than ever before. Our Gu.
pacities for production are enormous.
We are capable Of manufacturing leather
to an extent that is yet scarcely dreamed
OF. We need for field the whole world.
1t is the tribute which the world has for
years paid to the industries OF Great
Britain which has made that nation rich
and powerful. II Is the tribute which
French industry and skill have exacted
from the nations Of the earth which has
enabled that country to pay the enors
nous penalties and Losses Of war and still
60 on in career Of prosperity. Ameri-
can industry has an element OF vitality
which would give q fair advantage in the
competitive markets Of the world. But
Il must throw off the leading-strings OF
protection and come out from Its com.
paratiye isolation"

OUR TYLER COUNTY LETTER.

TYLER COUNTY, W. Va, January "a.
Editors Of the IntellIEencesE
| notice that already number OF
names have been mentioned for the office
Of Governor at the next general election.
Strange as It may appear to you do
not believe there is Republican aspi-
rant in Tyler for so high an office as that
Of Governor.
The general wish Of the Republicans Of
thist section Of the State is thorough
Republican ticket which will be an in
centive to thorough organization OF the
party, which may result in complete
victory over demagogues and thieves.
Laying aside all sectional bias let us
select men Of true worth.
Among the many excellent gentlemen
mentioned / do not hesitate to say that
G. W. Atkinson, OF KanAwha county, is
INV choice for Governor. lie possesses
ability, and fidelity and courage to dis
charge the duties Of the office without
fear or fervor. Give us Atkinson rs the
candidate for Governor and Tyler county
will give good account Of herself in the
way Of a good old-iashioned majority for
the whole ticket, as she did in former
days when true men were upon the ticket.
For Congress-; the Republicans and
many Democrats want William /. Bore
man. He is a man OF vast experience
and fair ability, and his integrity is above
reproach. The citizens Of Tyler, and not
Tyler only, for Mr.. Boreman is known
pretty well throughout the State, would
be glad to vote for him for Congress or
any other office he would wish.
Well, we sometimes converse on Presi-
Dental affairs down here in Tyler. We
have, | believe, decided against third
term, and not so much against the third
term either, but against President Grant.
Blaine, Of Maine, has many admirers,
who long to vote for 80 true and talented
q gentleman.
The people OF Tyler county generally
denounce the County Court, and Of course
the new Constitution, and would be glad
il opportunity offered to bury it so deep
that the hand Of resurrection would never
find it. Jtsc E.H r-r.
The proof against Bennett and Burdett
is regarded as very strong, but it is not
believed the court will convict.

The committee heretofore appointed
for the purpose Of memorializing the
Legislature, made their report to a pub.
lie meeting held in St. Clairsville, on
Saturday. The memorial sets out the
advantage Of the National Road to the
citizens Of Belmont county; the large
proportionate tolls paid by this county
lis bad condition, &C., and concludes by
asking the Legislature to place it under
the control Of the several counties
through which Il passes, or in any event
to give Belmont county the control Of
that part Of the road within her borders.
The report Of the committee was adopted
unanimously and the committee was au-
thorized TO take such further action as is
necessary to accomplish the ends OF the
memorialists.-S. Clairsriile Chronicle.

Col. Ben smith Mt So Years OF

Sols Deu 6lulhh NJ o. AOoks VI
Age.
From Communication in the Charleston Courier.
The Circuit Court OF Kanawha, whose
session commenced the third OF last No
vember, has been engaged several days
irving land cause and Is likely TO be
several more before it is completed.
The Hon. B. 81. Smith is appearing as
one Of the counsel for the plaintiff, and
seems to be at no loss but perfectly at
home in the case. he is now past 81
years Of age, and yet retains, undimiuish-
ed, all the ardor, yehemence and viyacity
Of a youth Of 25 years. You are aston
ished to hear how clear and distinct his
voice yet rings in the legal forum; by II
his former friends are forcibly reminded
OF years long past, when the stoutest and
proudest at the bar felt great hesitancy
when summoned by the clarion notes Of
his bugle TO the strife; when the
boldest spirits Of the knights OF
Coke and Blackstone hesitated to
throw down a glove Of challenge to a
contest involving legal strength or abili-
ty before this rightly dreaded Douglass
OF the profession, ana no one was vain
or conceited enough to lift one thrown
down in the legal arena by this acknowl-
edged champion without great caution in
examining the material and condition Of
his lance and ammunition, and even then
with many doubts and ,misgiyings as to
the result. This Is his first appearance
In contested cause in this court for
years; and you are struck at once with
his uncommon vigor and energy and
buoyancy, for one Of his age. Time has
not dimmed his eye Of fame, or curbed or
affected his proud spirit. Eighty odd
years have failed 10 produce any change
in the commanding dignity Of his bearing
or fine personal appearance. All seem
thus far to have successfully withstood
the ravages Of time in most remarkable
and wonderful manner.

FRIDAY, JAN. %, 1876.

Gas AND oGL.-As heretofore noted in
our columns, there is, just at this time
an unti.gas feeling prevailing in certain
localities-(prominently in Brooklyn,
.Y.)-growing out in part, Of the hard
times, and, in part Of the high price Of
gas. Brooklyn seems to be making an
experiment on an extended scale as to
how far and how probably oil can be
substituted for gas. The New York Tn
bune says that chow far oil has been sub.
stitu,ed for gas in private dwellings there
is no certain method Of estimating, but ii
is we'll known that there are numerous
instances where housekeepers in what
are called Comfortable circumstance
have recently ordered the meters
to be taken out Of their houses
The change is more easily OBJ
served in shops that arc open in the oven
ing. On the inferior thOroughfares oil
Tampa are the rule, gas the exception, in
the show windows. On the best street
for stores-Fulton street-therc are 4
few blocks where the oil predominates
largely; many where it is used by about
half the shops and scarcely block with
out some instances Of the change. Here
and there few of the larger, handsOmer
shops are burning oil, and there is an Oc'
casiOnal one where both gas and oil arc
burning, the oil probably being on trial
The ga, companies are maifestly uneasy
though some OF their officers speak in
sighting terms of the matter as merely Q
symptom Of the hard times which every
body hopes are passing away. But mean
while the offer is made to light the street
lamps with oil at price far below the
lowest that gas is furnished al, and the
offer has had the effect already OF re-
Lucing the price at which the city con-
tracts for gas"
To test the costumes OF gas and oil tue
Tribune narrates the following expert
ment: "An ordinary students lamp
burning oil, was compared with a bats
wing burner consuming six feet OF gas in
an hour. First, the amount Of light was
compared by holding lead pencil at a
distance from the two flames and obsery.
ing the two shadows. BY pushing the gas
burner further back than the lamp a
point was at length reached where the
shadows were equally dark. The gas was
then Z feet from the pencil; the lamp was
SO feet. The comparative light OF the
flames was as the squares Of these dis
tanccs--i. e., as 40 to IS, or IA. The
lamp burned oil las was ascertained by
weighing it at intervals) at the rate Of
about one gallon in seventy hours. To
get.as much light from oil as from the
gas.burner one gallon would, Of course,
last only forty hours. This oil was
bought at retail for 80 cents. Ifgas costs
s. per 1000 feet, the six-foOt burner
would consume ~ cents worth in forty
hours. 1.-THE price gas was reduced to
81 50 per 1000 feet, 1t would still cost
twice as much, light for light, as the oil"
The oil used in this experiment was Of
the finest quality and tire highest price.
