One of the novelties of commerce is the
tannekaya bark, which comes from New
Zealand and is a new agent in tanning.
This discovery is very recent In 1873 the
whole export from New Zealand WAS fif-
teen tons, hut last year it was $50 tons, Of
which twenty four tons came TO this city.
Ii seems very strange to bring tan. bark a
distance of 1000 miles but such is one Of
the novelties of modern commerce, The
greater part of the export il taken to
Grenade, France where il is used in dress.
ing leather for gloves The price of this
bark in its native country is $40 per ton,
and the freight is nearly as much more
Hence it has been proposed to make the
tree one of our own products since the
bark has Al times been worth $3.50 per ton.
1t contains % G6 per cent of tannin,
whereas oak bark contains only $50 and
hemlock bark 95. The tannckaya tree is
very beautiful, and as its timber is very
useful it has every point of value, Being
of the fir species it is well adapted to the
light soil Of the south, and might do much

As civilization advances the man who

OF course the statutes do not furnish law
to Justify the severe punishment of the

this is the result of oversight rather than
lenicncy on the part of our legislators; for
no man. provided with full complement
Of nerves, can contemplate the goosc-quill
barbarian without feeling a strong desire
to do him bodily injury.
This man, when he has finished the
atrocous work of gouging his teeth, keeps
the quill in his mouth and talks through
it. lie makes some sage-likc remark and
then sucks the quill as though
he would draw back his words
