Substitute for Leather.

FROM the Snoe ana Leather Reporter.
Substitutes for leather have been widely in
PRODUCED in the construction OF boots and shoes,
and many of these are admirably adapted for
the purpose. But a comparatively short time
ago only real leather was used. Leather board,
pancakes, artificial leather and straw board
were unknown. The use Of inferior materials
originated in New England. Ii was at first an
attempt at deception, and resulted in the dis
comforture OF the manufacturer who undertook
il. There was a certain make of cheap pump
sole brogans offered in small lots weekly al auc-
ton. which had become standard, both In
feature and i'm price. This shoe was quite In
miliar to certain Jobbers. On one occasion "a
buyer noted for his keenness detected a singu-
larity that led him 10 an Investigation. Using
his penknife he discovered that the manufact-
urer had substituted common pastebosrd, with
a veneer OF colored paper OF the same nue. as
leather, for the leather SOLE These shoes Tell tn
prices that comported IN some degree will their
worthlessness. 1t is quite possible that this
transaction conveyed the germ OF the idea
which afterward bore fruit in strawboard and
kindred materials.

Dfvisieas IN the General Land 00ee.
To the Editor of TIVE EVENING STAR:
An article In THE STAR OF Wednesday seems
to indicate that you are not aware OF the excer-
tional organization OF the general land Office,
and as several other journals are evidently no
better posted than yourself, venture 20 give You
the facts in the case: There are in this bureau
eleven divisions, only four OF which, however,
are Known to the law by specific appropriation
for the clerks having charge of the same by
title as follows: RECORDER, !" "chief OF division
Of public lands, !" "cbief OF division of private
land claims" and 'chef Of division Of surveys"
These four are presidential Offices, although
with the exception of the recorder the salary
OF each Is only 81 500. At the head OF each of
the other seven divisions 10 an 81 800 clerk de-
tailed from the forty clerks OF that class pro-
vlded for in the appropriation ACT but as "chiefs
OIL division" these clerks appear only in the de-
partment register. In 'the Blue book" they
are not distinguished in any way from the
other fourth-class clerks. az these eleven
chiefs OF division -four each by law aud seven
only by office detaiD one ofthe presidential APP
Pointees was discharged fort good cause. and one
has resigned and taken a clerkship at the same
salary, which he regards as no loss, but rather "A
gain; while OF the seven detailed clerks one has
been removed, one has resigned and one has
oeen transferred TO u special agency, leaving
Two presidential appointees and tour detailed
clerks out of the eleven chiefs OF division I'm the
general land office still undisturbed, though
rather anxious. CLERK.

From the Phtladelphla Press.
a slender, medium-sized old man walks
slowly down Chestnut street. His smooth
shaver face is furrowed, his cheeks are scanned
and his wrinkled hand trembles on his heavy
walking-stick. He looks ninety. He is, in
reality, about seventy-three. His hair is rather
long. for the cold weather has come, and from
late summer until spring his hair remains un-
cut. His attire is comfortable but plain, such
as a sensible old clerk might wear. The man Is
common understanding, of some Sl6,oOO,ooO,
and, per consequence, by repute the richest man
i'm Philadelphia. He came here FROM Bucks
county halt "A century ago with next TO nothing.
His fortune is tire fruit OF close application, skill
and foresight and OF economical habits. Though
rich, his personal expenses do not exceed
$4,000 year, but he has given away a Tor
