Cracking Rubber,

The cracking of rubber goods, 80 COM
mon and annoying is believed to be caused
by the oxidation Of the caoutchin, the es-
scntial oil of caoutchouc. Inflammation
does not lessen the affinity Of this sub
stance for oxygen. The compounds used
tend to fill the pores Of the rubber and
thus somewhat reduce the opportunity for
oxidation, but the metallic oxide and 9th
er substances which it is the custom to In
troduce in inflammation and dyeing-in-
Guiding sulphurio acid from antimony sui
phide--are found to be often injurious, and
boiling in caustic soda to remove the
bloom" left on goods by Oh excess Of sui
phur may also cause injury. The result of
u comparison of analyses Of the damaged
rubber with those of the sound article IL
stated to be very large increase in the
percentage of oxygen and some loss Of car.
bon and sulphur.

Greeley as O Packer.

Horace Greeley created quite q stir
when he visited New Orleans, said al old
citizen tho other day. II remember a
number Of incidents in connection with
his stay in this city which even now az
ford me considerable pleasure. On one &C.
casion was invited to dine with the noted
Republican and abolitionist just as he
was on tho eve of departure When We
had concluded dinner, VIC went to Mr.
Greeley's room, and the old gentleman be-
gan to pack his trunk was very much
amused to witness the novel and truly
unique manner in which this operation
was conducted by Mr.. Greeley. There was
no attempt on his part to put his belong
ings in order or place them in the trunk
with any degree Of regularity. He just
bundled up his clothes and dumped them
into the receptacle as they came to his
hand. When he found that the trunk was
getting crowded, he proceeded to literally
jump on the articles with both feet, and
finally by this means managed to jam his
wardrobe into tho case and close the lid on
the lot. He remarked that his system was
not what might be called orderly, but he
found 1t a waste OF time TO attempt to fold
his clothes and pack them as any one else
might. New Orleans Times Democrat.

A SEALED PROPOSAL.


Edward Edwards and the Lovely Quaker.
csk Who Didn't Open His Letter.
An amusing episode belongs to tho his
tory Of the Gl,rneys of Earlham, n family
to which the beloved Mrs. Elizabeth Fry
belonged. Edward Edwards was q devoted
friend Of the lovely Quakeress, and there
was time when ne was tempted to be-
como something more. He had great ad.
miration for Catherine Quincy, and, al.
though he WAS an extremely ditfident man,
he did rouse his courage to the point OF
sending her Il proposal of marriage.
Miss Catherine was busy woman, for
she had at the age OF II years taken the
entire charge of a great family OF II broth
crs and sisters, and when the letter came,
being occupied with other things, she slip
ped it into her pocket and forgot all about
1t.
