LEATHER SUCCESSFULLY TANNED WITH
GYPEN PINE STRAW.

LEATHER SUCCESSFULLY TANNED WITH
GRREN PINE STRAW.
During the war my brother, a. Ii.
Washington (of Nashville, Tcnn.,) was su-
perinteudent of the clothing department
under Maj, G.. w. Cunningham, and he in
formed me that an Englishman had been
experimenting for twenty years to find some
material foEtanning, which would shorten
the tins aSd leave the hide plant, SO that
u large amount OF oil would not be ncccs.
sary Allasials however had proved futile
until chance threw him into the ContGdc-
rate States, where he tried an experiment
with green pine straw with complete sue
cess My brother showed me samples of
shecpskin tanned in eight dsys-calf
tanned in eight weeks, equal to the best
American calf-and sole leather evenly
tanped through in four months. a longer
time for the latter would no doubt have
produced better leather, but the cmer-
genciSs of the service required an abridge-
mcntbf time, and the pine straw enabled
the tsiners to fill the requirements. Since
the vs,r the French have used spirits tur-
pentine dSsetly il the manufacture Of lea
ther,, With -: success,'but 1 canpOt now
recall the authority for the statement.
The Engfshman's Confederate patent was
worthless, snd, as he has failed to take out
a United ytatos patent in the long time
since the 9bsc Of the war, he may justly be
supposed Il have abandoned his rights, and
Ishave, A&efore, concluded to lay the mat
t& before Su for further experiment. The
pine straw Ebelng cheaper than oak bark
obtaibabld al seasons of the year, re,
quiriny on "a short transportation, and
trichersn tus sotine than the northern pines
would give gpu very decided advantages in
competaEfos the markets of the world in
the prcduction of leather
Since my brothers information, retar
ny shoes by making q miStpxessSss4ff
parts Of tuPentine and talloW over gen
tic fire, aph'then saturate both sole and up
pers witEit; the consequence is, my shoe:
last mo1 4hsh twice as long as usual; IN.
last pait aith two half sales, lasted fiftecr
months, / doubt not that if the straw wa
cut and bruised by being run through /;
aw-eutter with short feed, it would yer.
quickly impart its virtues to the water il
the vat end make it moro cflicacious thar
if used without the cutting. Having NJ
patent royalty to pay, you can at once re
Gucc the cost of the production of leathe
to minimum, and enhance your profits ac
! csrdinglye With a.belt of pine ITO mile
wide, soxtending froai Virginia to-'Fexas
the &oath dan tan leather enough to suppl
ftITs Bdited States and numerous foreign
markets.
AS this is no theoretical assumption, t
be verified by costly experiments, | douL
not you viii. give the subject the attention
it certainly deserves, and profit accordingly

ty that the country should not suffer from
n lack of eminent men, kind of forgot the
private soldiers and let them wander away.
And so they arc all gone. Some OF them
got shot. Some of them got married and
moved out Of the world, to settle upon tracts
of Government land, where the Indians
could get ut them more easily. Some Of
them went into business. Some Of them
arc teaching school. Some of them went
away and didn't leave their parents al.
dress. But all the same, they arc all gone,
aud it seems dreadlully lonesome without
them. There used TO be so many of them

IN A Boat WITH A RATTLESNAKE.-
One dark night recently three mcn living
near Cascyyille, on the Indiana side Of the
Ohio, started to 60 over the river i'll a skin
which had been laying against the bank for
several days They got into the boat and
the oarsmen pulled vigorously !or the otAcr
shore. When about sixty yards from the
bank the .aan in thc bow suddenly cried
out that he heard the hiss of rattlcsnakc
in the boat. This caused a thrill Of hUr-
rog TO run through all and in 4 flash the
oars were stopped and all sat listening but
not sound was heard. They concluded
that it was 4 false alarm, and the oars be-
Gan to rise and fall. Again the man i'll the
bew uttered the warning and again the boat
was stopped and all listened i'll dire fear,
but no sound was heard. The skilf was
then pulled across the river to CaScyviIlc,
where the man ut the stern Jumped out IN.
to the water, afraid TO go through the boat.
Procuring lantern at the hotel they went
down TO examine the boat and found a rat
tlcsuakc with eleven ra!t.cS coiled under
the oarsman's seat The deadly reptile was
dispatched, to the int"nCc relief Of his tN'.

WHAT FARMERS SUCCEED.-That far.
mer will succeed who makes up his mind
that the whole secret Of success is III him
self; that it is the man and not the busl-
ness that tells He will succeed If he
brings to bear the same amount OF sEill,
forethought, energy, economy and Judgment
that any other branch of business requires
He will succeed if he sticks as close to his
farm, as the mechanic does to his shop, and
not expect to work three or four months
and then take his ease the rest Of the year.
That farmer will succeed who takes the
papers, and digests what he reads, ana Is
not afraid of new ideas and new methods
of industry. He will succeed if 1t is his
intention that whatever he sends to market
shall be the very best, and so made and
put up that when seen it will be captiva-
ting for its freshness, cleanliness and purl-
ty, and will be uuhcsitatingly taken on ac
count Of his wellknown character for hon
esty Of weight, measure and count. Those
who have farms may thiak themselves for.
tunato, for although they will not thereby
| find' sudden roads to wealth, they will GER
tainly prove that persistent farm labor will
bring sure reward. 1t is worthy of no.
tice, that the adventurcr and spcculator,
with blasted hopes and shattered health
and fortune, have in the end 10 como back
to the farm for health and safety. Agri
culture is the basis of natiopsl strength
and wealth, and the most certain and liberia
support Of all who follow it intclligently.
