India.Rubber Gathered in Colombia.

When the hunter has found rubber
tree, he first clears away a space from
the roots, and then moves on in search
of others, returning to commence opera
ton as soon as he has marked all the
trees in the vicinity. He first of all
digs hole in the ground hard by, and
then cuts in the tree V-shaped in
cision with machete, as high as he
can reach. The milk is caught as it
exudes and flows into the hole. AS
soon as the flow from the cut has
ceased the tree is chopped down, and
the trunk raised from the ground by
means of an improvised trestle.
After placing large leaves to catch
the sap, gashes are cut throughout the
entire length, and the milk carefully
collected When it first exudes, the
sap is of the whiteness and consistence
of cream, but it turns black on expo
sure to the air. When the hole is filled
with rubber, it is coagulated by adding
hard soap or the roots of the mechvacan,
which have a most rapid action, and
prevent the escape of the water that is
always present in the fresh sap. When
coagulated sufficiently, the rubber is
secured by bark thongs, carried on the
back of the hunter to the bank Of the
river, and foated down on RATS.
The annual destruction of rubber
trees in Colombia is very great, and
the industry must soon disappear alto
gether, unless the government puts in
force law that already exists, which
compels the hunters to tap the trees
without cutting them down. If this
law were strictly car led out, there
would be good opening for CONNER
cial enterprise, for rubber trees will
grow from to 10 inches in diameter
in three or four years from seed. The
trees require but little attention, and
they begin to yield returns sooner than
any other. Those that yield the great
est amount of rubber flourish on the
banks of the Simu and Aslato Rivers.
The value of the crude India-rubber i'm
ported into the States annually is about
$4,000, 900.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The Rev. +. r. Scully, an ex-priest,
now of the Baptist Church, in Braddock, Pa,
and the Rev. Mr.. OConnor, an ex-priest of
New York, are maturing plan for a conven-
| ton of all the Protestantzed Roman Catholics
| in the United States, to be held at Pittsburgh,
Pa, during the coming summer, to establish
what they term reformed Catholic churches"
in all the principal cities of the country where
| none exist
The Governor of Illinois has ordered
| the withdrawal Of five militia companies from
| East St Louis.
The National Red Cross Association
| of Washington has telegraphed sympathy and
proffers of aid to the wounded Chicago police
men, and to the families of the officers who
| lost their lives.
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and
| Prince Edward Island desire TO withdraw from
the Canadian Federation
Gov. Swineford, of Alaska, con-
| templates matrimony
The riot part of the strike in Chicago
is virtually over, and "quiet reigns in War
saw" Meantime the police continue their
raids upon the nests and dens of the anarch-
lists, and the capture of flags, firearms,
| knives, and dynamite. The police stations
| contain large stores of such material. One of
| the most prominent devices was red banner
fully thirty feet long, to which was affix-
cd the inscriptions: Commune de Paris,
| 1871" in gilt letters a foot high. Two
more anarchists were arrested Saturday, who
had in their possession dynamite. Like all
the rest of the cowardly gang, they ex-
| hibited great trepidatlon on being brought face
| to face with the laws they have dared to defy.
| The Coroner's jury, in the inquest upon. the
bodies of Policemen Barrett and Mueller, vic
| Tins of the Nihilistic riot, returned verdict
| that the deceased came to their death at the
hands of persons unknown, and recommended
| that the said unknown persons be appre-
| hended and committed to the County Jail
without bail; and that August Spies, Samuel
Fielden, Michael Schwab, and A. r. Parsons
be committed as accessories without bail to the
| County Jail Parsons is hiding somewhere in
| the city. The fund for the relief of the killed
and wounded policemen has reached $50, 600.
| Another death has resulted at Milwaukee
from the rioting there, making five persons
| killed by the troops, who have been exonerated
| by the Coroner's jury. The labor troubles
have paralyzed business at Pittsburg. Orders
are being countermanded, contracts broken,
and manufacturers refuse to buy stock The
los ses on the iron and steel trade will prove
serious blow to that industry. Thirty thousand
men were idle in Cincinnati, an outbreak was
deemed imminent, and Governor Foraker
ordered four regiments of militia to proceed
thither without delay Herr Most, the New
