WhalebOne

Owing to the discovery and extended
use of petroleum on the one hand and the
multiplied ways of utilizing whalebone
on the other, the latter substance has
become the most valuable instead of the
least valuable of the property of whale
fishing. America has the lions share
of the whalebone industry. According
to the German PoiytechriSch Zeitltilg,
the improved product is there supplied
from only seven works--four in New
York and three in Boston. The person
mel is 10 to 40. The principal appli-
cation of whalebOne now is that in max
ing whips and corsets. Steel has mostly
displaced whalebone in umbrellas and
parasols. Some years ago umbrella
ribs were made in France of an excel
lent imitation of whalebone mot dis
tinguishable, indeed, till fractured), but
it is no longer heard of. Genuine whale
bone is often made white and used with
garments of muslin or the like, not be-
ing seen through these as easily as the
dark sort. The newest application of
whalebone is that to hats; it is cut into
fine strips and interlaced with straw.
Such are very dear. Another novelty
is "whalebone ribbon" For this white
whalebone is generally used, and the
shaving is so thin that ordinary print can
be read through it. 1t is often colored
blue, red, or green, and used by sad
dlers in making rosettes Walking
sticks of whalebone are also in good de-
mand. The exceptionally thick strips
cut for this purpose are rounded by be-
ing drawn through holes in a steel
plate. Billiard pads of whalebone must
be very smooth and cut of q certain ex-
act thickness. Fishing-rods are made
of two carefully worked strips of whale
bone, with thick silk thread wound
round them. Pen-holders and other
small articles are made of wlalebone at
the lathe. The hair cut off the raw
whalebone was formerly used for
brushes, but it is now mostly replaced
by other materials. 1t is largely crisped
and used as filling for mattresses.
This list by no means exhauS the uses
of whalebone, which is continually being
applied in new ways.

Washington Forty Years Ago.

Washington was, in 1S43, the greatest
slave mart in the United States. Within
sight of the Capitol, not far from the
lower gate, and near, if not upon, the
land where the public garden now is,
was building with a large yard around
it, inelosed with high fence. Thither
slaves were brought from all the slave
holding region, like cattle to the Chi
cago stockyards, and locked up until
sold. There were regular auction days
for those not disposed of Mt private sale.
The Chicago fire destroyed hard
cracker which l had preserved as q
specimen by which purchasers tested
the age of slaves. And to this day, if
there is anything that the average
Southern negro does not know, it is his
own age. The slaves were placed upon
q block, and when question rose as to
age, the auctioneer requested them to
bite from II cracker which all slave auc-
tioneers kept for such occasions. The
theory was that while slave could
masticate well he could work. Nearly
all the labor of Washington was per-
formed by slaves, many of whom were
hired from the neighboring States. The
slaves were expected to collect their
wages monthly and take them home on
some Saturday night. One morning I
missed my boots, and when l went for
the bootblack he was missing also.
After few days saw procession of
captured slaves, who had sought their
liberty in Potomac schooner, chained
two-and-two, conducted toward the
slave-pen T; and there / noticed my boot
black trudging along in my boots. I
had made successful canvass for Con-
gress in those boots, but they failed the
slave in his canvass for freedom. He
was sold for the Southern market, as
was customary with captured fugitives,
and my boots went with him. But
whether they were worn out by him
upon some sugar, rice or cotton planta-
ton, or by his new master, il was use
less for me to inquire. John
Wenti0Orth.

All men are not judges of beauty,
any more than all men are able to draw
the line of beauty. Most men, indeed,
are very apt to mistake prettiness or
piquancy for beauty. No man with
head on his shoulders and eyes in his
head will claim that the Venus di Me-
dici or Powers Greek Slave are "pret-
ty," yet everyone acknowledges their
beauty. 1t would seem as we'll to point
out here the difference between beauty
and mere prettiness. Webster defines
the first as due symmetry of parts in
the form of the person; the regularity
and symmetry of the features, the color
of the skin, the expression of the eye;
or, in the arts, symmetry of parts, har-
mony, business of composition. 1t will
readily be seen that this definition in
wolves a certain dignity. The same au-
thority says that prettiness is diminu-
tive beauty without stateliness or the
strong lines of beauty pure and simple.

Rough on as Lawyers.

Each day a. look ober my paper"
said Brother Gardner, II see case OF
embezzlement, Wholesale robbery,
breach of trust or misuse of odder peo-
pies money. One day it am de cashier OF
bank; dc mex day il am o city or
county treasurer; DO mex it am some
confdenshal clerk or bank president,
or de treasurer of some corporation! 1t
is an era of stealth an embezzlin' an
fraud. No man who has money in de
hands of friend or employe feels safe.
No man who depends upon another
man knows what day may bring forth.
II arraign de bar of de kentry an
charge de lawyers, big an little, wild
bein' de direct cause OF dis reign of
knavery. Three men outer five am hon
est only until der am a chance to make
haul by bein' dishonest. One man
outer three will be dishonest on all oc-
cashuns whar dar am chance to es-
cape consequences. If dar was no law
to punish dishonesty, we wouldn't find
one man in twenty dom de honest thing
for principles sake. 1t am de fear of
consequences which keeps thousands of
clerks an cashiersan' treasurers honest.
"An' what do de lawyers say to cherry
man who's fingersitch to make haul?
Dey might as well advertise at regular
rates dat dey will guarantee to clear
'em of de law fur sartin sum. Let me
steal $4,000 in cash an nine-tenths of
the lawyers will be eager to defend me
to effect compromised hush it up
to clear me of punishment. About
de best legal talent in America makes
specially of deferdin' criminals. Any
lawyer am looked upon as good huff
fur Prosecutin' Attorney, while de
VERY keenest talent am reserved fur
defense of thieves, burglars and odder
law-breakers.
"Time after tine men have stolen
and cmbezzled, an de lawyers have
taken sheer of the plumber to clear
'em. Let me steal ton of coal, an up
go. Let me get my claws on $4,000
an doan' 60 up WORT shucks. L may
be rested an toted OFT to Jail, but inside
of week de case am settled up, an L
walk de streets hero. De lawyers re-
turn $40, 900 of de money, pocket $9,975,
an han me fifty as a reward fur bring
in 'em fat case.
Suppose it war known dat cherry
burglar fairly convicted would receive
twenty years in prison, wild no POSSIBLE
ity of pardon, would we have one bur-
glary, whar' we now have two? Who
makes burglary payin' purfeshun?
De lawyer.
"If clerk who embezzled was sartin
to receive five or ten var sentence,
how many cases of enlightenment would
you h'ar of in year? An who makes
embezzlement payin' biZness? De
lawyer.
II am spoken what Ibelieve to be de
solemn truf, when l say to you dat law
has become a farce an lawyers an mid
dle-men between robbers an de robbed.
De question am how to break dc law
not how to enforce it. 1t am not how
to put thief into prison, but how to
keep him out. 1t am not how to pun
ish dishonest officials, but how to gently
squeeze out as much as dey kin restore,
an forgive the remainder."
