The new material known as leather
cite is being brought into use in nu-
merous mechanical and ornamental
applications. 1t is so perfect an i'm
tation Of leather that people are utter
ly unaware that they are handling
something other than leather itself,
and its serviceable nature renders the
detection still more difficult. For all
uses to which it has been applied, the
article is said to have proved nearly,
ifnot quite, equal in seviceableuess to
natural leather.

Endeavor always TO talk your best
before your children. They hunger
perpetually for new ideas. They
learn with pleasure from the lips of
parents what they dream is drudgery
10 learn from books, and even il they
have to be deprived of many educa.
tional advantages, they will grow up
intelligent il they enjoy IN childhood
the privilege of listening daily TO the
conversation of intelligent people.
We sometimes see parents, who are
the life OF every company they enter,
dull, silent, and undressing at home
among their children. II they have
not mental stores enough for both,
let them FIRST use what they have for
their own households. A silent home
is a dull place for young people, place
from which they will escape it they
eau. How much useful information,
on the other hand. is often given in
pleasant conversation; aud what IN.
conscious, but excellent training is
lively social argument Cultivate to
the utmost the graces Of conversation.

A lunatic at the asylum in Utica,
New York, is United States pen
sioner, and the largest one in the Uni
ted States. Since 1866 he has been
paid $3.50, while his arrearages
amount to almost as much more. BY
the various acts of Congress he is enti-

ORIENTAL INDIFFERENCE TO LIFE.
1t needs a very long time and much
bitter experience to teach the Euro

plays, the low caste Hindoo will wager
death aud torment for few copper
coins. / had bheestic in that war

on only when sure TO see me; but he
waited 10 secure a great price. And
he tramped barefoot. he slept in cot
ton clothes, wheA the thermometer
fell below zero, until he sacrificed his
limits, perhaps his life. Playing the
same stakes against a human enemy
the Hindoo is still more reckless. =

A Tariff ReddctiOn Nc u eme.

Some time ago the House passed q
bill repeating discr!mi mating duties i'm
posed on merchandise the growth of
countries east OF Cape of Good Hop,
the possessions of the Netherlands. The
passage Of bill was made necessary by
the terms of a treaty recently made
between the U. States and Netherlands,
tea and coffee being the commodities
mainly affected thereby. The Senate
amended the bill by making it general
in character and providing for the re-
peal of all discriminating duties i'm
posed under section 25Ol OF Eevised
Statues. A few days ago Judge Kelley
had the bill as amended referret to the
committee on Ways and Means, and
to day he asked the committee to au-
thoriZe him to ask the House to concur
in the Senate amendments. This was
objected to by certain Democratic meu..
bers, and, as there was only a bare
quorum present, the further considera-
ton Of the matter was postponed. AS
the measure is in the nature of a Reve-
nue. bill, it is likely that the opposition
manifested in the committee to con-
curing in the Senate amendments was
prompted by a purpose to attempt to
further amend by adding provisions for
the reduction of the existing rates Of
duty on certain articles which, it is
claimed by the Free Traders, are excss

Educating Calf.

The Equine Paradox, Or exhibition Of
horses, which has been in progress at
the Grand Opera House this week, is
creating desire il the hearts of some
people, to train dumb animals in q
similar manner Cornelius MvGrenra,
tostley at the Delaware House stables,
attended the exhibition one evening,
aud since that time he has been engaged
in training Il calf to perform various
feats. II has already been taught to Oh
ter the hotel bar room. Yesterday, Cor,
uelius, while under the influence Of IL
Quor, attempted 10. show the calf how to
ascend to the hay.lofJ OF the stable, by
teaching it to walk up line steps. While
engaged in doing this, the man stood
on the tifth step, with u rope around
the calfs neck, by which he was en-
deavoring to pull the calf up, when it
suddenly gave the rope a jsrk, which
precipitated the calf trainer to the
ground below. In falling he struck his
head against stone, cutting it severe.
ly. Dr.. BlOckSom was called in and
put sew stitches in the wound. This
accident will no doubt prevent further
training Of the vicious animal for a
while.

Judge Davis Mishsp.

President Pro TEN. Davis, of the
Senate, had Wednesday afternoon his
third breakdown since he became a
member of that body. The trouble with
the Illinois Senator Is that he forgets an
ordinary chair cannot sustain the four
hundred-pound mass of flesh which be.
longs to him. He ought to follow the
example of the late Senator Dixon Fl.
Lewis, and only use chairs specially
constr dcted to stand the strain. Judge
Davis, who had put another Senator In
tho big, strongly braced chair which he
occupies AZ presiding officer of the Sem
ate, had been strolling around the
chamber to stretch his legs, and pass
ing by the chair which belongs to Sem
atOr Brown, of Georgia, and is abuhd-
anily able to hold bis weight of one hun
dred and twenty five pounds, took a
notion to rest himself.
He sank into the chair and the chair
sank to the floor in broken pieces,
which were sire we'd all over the Judge
as he lay sprawling. Az he scrambled
| to his toet with sense Of injured dig
| nlty fresh upon him he saw that Sem
atOr Butler Of South Carolina, who oG.
cupiel the next sea5, was smiling
broadly, and bis ear caught the whis-
per of some one Oh the other side styl-
| ing him the ",Iunbo" Of the Senate.
He was 80 indignant that he stalked
around the Senate chamber several
times and then, becoming q little more
omposed, he seleCtrd another chair af
ter II criticalinspsction and deposite,t
himself in it, Senator Butler went
over to him Ter modifying purposes,
bat the Ju ige waved him off and de
J cHned to listen to him. On the las
occasion that he burst through Il
chair Mr. Conkling who was ZEN in
the Senate chucklsd audibly, and he
would not take any notice OF him for 4
week after.
