American and Italian Sumac,

1t has been demonstrated, and we some
years ago published the proofs of the
facts, that the American sumac. properly
prepared, was decidly more valuable
than that of the Italian, and vet the lat
ter is sold in our market at double the
price obtained for the former, the Amer
lean variety bringing fifty dollars per
ton. The statistics show that not more
than eight thousand tons are yearly
brought into the market in the United
States, but, if properly managed, the
amount may be very largely augmented,
The Scientific Amerco0, says that the diff
ference against the American sumac is
caused by the mode now pursued in its
preparation, which renders it unsuitable
Tor making the finer white feathers used
Tor gloves and fancy shoes, owing to its
giving disagreeable yellow or dirty
color 1t has recently been shown, how
ever, that the leaves of native sumac
gathered in June and July are equal to
the best foreign leaves. The Importance
OF this discovery may he seen 10y the fat
that the cultivation of the plant may be
carried ON most proiitably in this coun-
try as soon as manufacturers and deal
ers recognize the Improvement thus OBJ
tanned in the domestic article, and by
classifying it according to its percentage
of tannic acid and its relative freedom
from coloring matter, advance the price
of that which is carly picked and care
fully treated
In Italy the sumac is planted in shoots
IN the spring in rows, and is cultivated
in the same way and to about the same
extent as acorn. 1t gives crop the see
ond year after the setting out, and reg.
ularly thereafter. The sumac gathered
in this country is taken mostly from wild
plants growing on waste land, but there
is no reason why it should not be utili-
zed and cultivated on land not valuable
for other crops,

FOR TIE FAIR SEY.


Henry the VIII, whose matrimonial
experience wa certainly varied, did not
enjoy single life. When Jane Scvmom
died upon the birth of her first child, a
few months after her marriage, saws a
writer in the International Review, if
would seem natural that husband of
any affection and scnsibility would have
been too much saddencd by the circIm
stances of her death TO entertain the
thought of another marriage at least for
some months; but negotiations were on
foot Immediately for James successor.
Henry proposed 10 Francis of France To
meet him at Calais, bringing with him
the first ladies of his kingdom, from
whom Henry might make his selection.
Francis, though anxious TO concila.o
Henry, was not willing to drive the la
dies of France to auction like a herd of
cattle. Anne of Clcves, however wa
soon fixed upon; partly, it seems, be
cause she was reported to bo large of
stature, which was II great commcnda-
tion to Henry, and partly because he
fancied ilattcring portrait. She did
not prove to be so attractive in person
as he had anticipated, and proceedings
fol divorce were Immediately instituted
