The first necessity toward the making

Mr. Cyrus Clark says that that
. not true, and, in the trade at least, he
looked upon as an authority. Kid,
jitb, sheep, and antelope skins, he
iys, are the materials in use. Even the
elusion that the name of "dogskin"
is any foundation in fact may no longer
2 cherished. "Dogskin" means sheepLin.
There are technically in the trade
locha, Mocho, Cape Casto^ and vanis
other names; but they all mean
:rang or old goat, sheep, or antelope
tins, from Europe, Africa, or Mexico,

;nore this, and hope to make up for

id Saxony there is no such indifference
> the primary consideration. Another
ling about the kid is that it must be

thorn may make the kid's skin altost
worthless to anybody but the
riginal wearer. Thai is why hardly
ay kid or goat skins fit for American
lore makers' use come from South
merica, Mexico, or other countries in
hich, although many goats are raised,
icti are plentiful and the people are
iilful in throwing missiles. But those
amagfcd skins go in great numbers, by
ay of vhis country, to England, Germany
smd France. The best of them
re there culled out for gloves, and the
jst are utilized for pocket-books, pipe
ises, jewelry boxes, and a thousand
ther thirgs. Here we want only the

A Land of Perpetual Salutes.
A grievance of which I, in common
ith a ma;ority of foreign residents in
okohama, complain._ says a corre
pondent of the St. Jams' iJazciU, at
ckohama, is the extent to which the
ractice of firing naval salutes is cared.
Yokohama is not a Japanese port
Lerely, the treaties having opened it to
early all the principal nations of the
orld; and the body of residents is
imposed of some fmeen nationalities,
t is not, therefore, one port, but fifteen
orts in one. The national aoniversaes
of fifteen nations are celebrated;
le fleets of many of ihem assemble in
lese waters; ceremonial calls are made
pon Japanese officials and between the
len-of-war, and are politely returned;
le ministers ana consuls of fifteen
owers interchange calls; and the port
self mu3t be treated with due attenon.
These events are celebrated, visors
are honored, and the flags are
tinted, bv firingf a certain number of
)tmds of blan \ cartridges; the conseaence
being that from 8 a. m. to sun;t?Sunday

3Ien \Vh<> Have More Money Than They
Know What to Do With.
The wealthiest individual -who dabbles
in Wall street of course is William
H. Vanderbilt. He did not appear as a
heavy operator until after the death of
his father, the late Commodore Vanderbilt,
vrho left his favored son $65,'
000,000. Since that time he has added
; to his vast capital by judicious investments
rmHl nns hp is nrprlifcer! with hp
ing worth ?120,000,000. This is divided
: up in real estate, United States four per
j cent, bonds, Lake Shore, New York i
Catada Southern, Michigan
Central, Chicago and Northwestern
stock. He is the heaviest individual
holder of government securities in the
I world, his daily interest account from
i this source alone amounting to nearly
$2,700. Jay Gould ranks nest to Van!
derbilt, his wealth being estimated at
$75,000,u00, which, with the exception
of $500,000 in real estate, is all invested <
in railroad and telegraph securities, i
: The honor of being the third largest
possessor of wealth on "Wall street is
divided between several gentlemen who
touch their holdings by the millions, j
; and who are variously estimated to be
; worth from 81,000,000 to ?10,000,000.
i Among these are James E. Keene, I>. O. .
j Mills and Thomas Maitland. When
! Mr. Keene made his debut in Wall
street, a few years ago, he was credited j
with transferring from San Francisco to ;
Wall street 8 10,000,000. Since then he
; has met mauy severe reverses, but had :
: added to his store in other directions,
and it is safe to say that he is worth at
least 86,000,000 to-day. Mr. Maitland
I is believed to be possessed of SS,000,000.
: A good story is told by him, showing
I the caution he exercises in making investments.
As well as Lis total indiffer-;
; ence to addiDg to bis vast wealth. Re-;
! cently he was invited to take the initia-;
tive in improving tlio Long Island
Railroad property. It was shown clearly j
to him that by building the new bridge j
from upper New York across Blackwell's j
Island to Long Island, and a judicious j
change in the time tables and running
arrangements, the investment of ?3,000,- 1
000 would make a handsome return,
i Mr. Maitland examined the details ofj
-4iie project closely, regarded it with
j favor, felt convinced of its assumed
success, when he turned toward his
friend and said:
"I am getting along well in years
1 and want to avoid all the annoyance j
i possible."
' Bat this will add greatly to your
possessions," pressed his friend.
"I have all the money that I want, |
sir," was the response. "I have trouble
enough with that and I desire no more, j
i I have no one lea\e it to, and any addi- j
| tional treasures would add to my in;
conveniences, I am fully content with
' what I have, and I shall enter into no
i more speculations.
i The Seligmans also count their gains
by the millions, so divided up between
; the brothers as to leave at least ?2,000,:
000 to each. August Belmont is another i
; of the millionaires. He continues to ,
i manage the affairs in this city of the '
; famous English banking firm of N. SI. '
: Rothschild & Sons, and is put down as
| worth at least ?2,000,000. George I. i
i Senev, President of the Metropolitan ,
i Bank, is another man whose wc-alth is
; unknown, but who is believed to be ,
i worth between three and five millions, j
i Cyrus W. Field has been very successful |
j in his speculations, his cable, Wabash
! and elevated railway stocks and bonds i
having netted him a handsome profit. :
' Mr. Field is set down as worth about
j $2,500,000.
Wall street is full of business men
i whose wealth varies from $500,000 to
i SI,000,000, most of whom live sumptu!
ously and enjoy life to its fullest extent,
j but who are daily toiling for more and j
j more gains. H.Victor Newcomb, Presi- i
i dent of the United States National j
j Bank, and formerly President of the
! Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com- i
| pany, is said to be wortu $3,000,000.
! His successor in the Presidency of the i
i Louisville and Nashville road, Mr. C. C. j
j Baldwin, is estimated at between $2,- j
j 000,000 and $3,000,000. H. C. Fahnei
stock, Vice-President of the First Nai
tional Bank, suffered a heavy reverse
i when the firm of Jay Cocke & Co., of
which he was a m amber, failed. Mr. ;
Fahnestock having met all his liabili-!
ties, is ranked as worth $1,000, ?00.
Among other millionaires are ex-SurroI

3If-n and Animals.
Within certain limit j the lower ani- !
mals aie much more skillful in supply-;
ing their wants than men. Insects, !
oiids, fishes, reptiles, mammals?one j
really does not knew which department
of the natural wond exhibits the most j
skill in supplying its wants. Let me 1
instance the case of trap-door spiders.
! I refer to their doirgs, because they are
less familiar than tnos9 of ants and i
bees and other creatures which I might
mention. The trap-door spider lives in ;
a burrow which he makes in the ground j
where the grass grows, generally in a j
sloping bank; he covers the entrance to j
his burrow with a trap-door, which
works upon a hinge, and which so nearly j
resembles the surrounding grass that:
| only a careful observer can detect it.
i This, however, is not all: if an enemy :
finds the door and opens it, and enters
j the spider's castle, he may very easily
; fancy that there is no one at home, for
in the sides of the burrow, wnich is
, lined with a soft silky substance, there
j are other trap-doors communicating
! with branches of the burrow, and cov!
ering these branches so c:raftily that
they may be easily parsed by unnoticed.
Nay, if the enemy should be clever
enough to find his way into one of ;
these branches, he may still find no one i
; at home, the ovniQ^of this castle being ;
i perhaps^ra brancn *?? this branch, x>i
j the/burrow, concealed by "gaagj^skill-!
l^ful trap-door. Architecture of this :
| kind shuts the mouth of any- one who j
! would say that the in tenor mem bers cf ;
; creation do not know how to adapt j
; means to ends. Nor can it be said that:
i the power of adaptation dees not go to |
| some extent beyond the wonders of in- ;
stinct. The old story of the bees who i
destroyed an in trading monsewith their j
stings, and then covered it over with i
war because they could not get rid of j
the body and feared the results of its
continuance in the hive, is only one of
a number which go to prove that in the
j lower world of living things there is
i unquestionably a power of adaptation tc
j unforseen circumstances, a reasoning i
| out of results and acting accord ingly, ;
; which cannot possibly be set down to :
j the credit of instinct properly so called. :
i Bat the important point to be observed :
' is this, the infinite superiority of the
animal's operations when it does not'
reason and the infinite inferiority of its
operations to those of man when it does.
It has been said that a bird will carry
an oyster in o the air and let it drop
upon a rock in order to break the shell j
and get at the treasure within ; a simple
operation this, and jet we stand well'
nigh aghast at the birds prodigious superiority
above all that we had expected,
and we doubt whether such a won- !
derful feat can be positively substantiaj
ted. I will not say that there may not!
: be in insects, birds and mammals the
germ of that faculty which invented j
i the steam engine; but certainly it j
: seems almost impossible to contain in i
oue description or definition two facui- ,
ties so diverse in the importance of their j
results. Adaptation of means to ends is i
not in the case of man something sub!
sidiary to instinct, and exhibiting itself !
now and then in exceptional circuin- j
stances, but it is the very law of his be-;
ing. The merest savage contrives machines
to catch his prey; he makes his
stone implements till he sees bis way to
bronze and iron ; he constructs his boat, ;
or Scats on his log of timber ; he may
be and doubtless is rude and elementa- i
'ry but he is the genuine ancestor of
James Watt and George Stephenson.?

Lun? Disease in Cattle*
As showing how infections lang disease
in cattle is, and how it travels, we
note what Professor Law says of it:
"Into Australia the infection was carried
from England in 1859 in the body
of a Short-horned cow. She was three
months on the voyage out, and had been
- TT-r.0
a lvriuiguij zlu :uauuuinc wucix s-ug v?c-o
noticed ill. Tiie sick cow, together
with all of her owner's (Mr. Boodle)
herd were slaughtered and paid for by
public subscription, and his premises
shut np. This would have ended the
matter had not a teamster turned his
oxen on Mr. Boodle's rich and secluded
pastures at night and removed them
before daylight. These workirig oxen
contracted the disease, and had spread
it too widely for control before its existence
was suspected. Tens of thousands
of cattle were killed in the vain
hope of arresting the plague, but on the
open pastures this was found to be
impossible; it quickly spread from Victoria
to the other colonies, and the
stock owners had to fall back on the
palliative of inoculation, or turn their
attention to sheep."
Thinuiuz Fruit.
The Massachusetts Ploughman gives
some advice on the important subject of
il * fx Tt
unnniagiruit. jLtsuvs;
Were it not for the time consumed in
thinning, it would be profitable to thin
all kinds of fruit; for as a rale, fruits of
almost every kind, in good seasons, set
too thick, and unless a portion drops off,
will be of small size and never fully
mature: when a tree overbears, it
checks its vigor, and its power to mature
fruit buds for another year, and some
kinds of trees, like the peach and plum,
are frequently killed by overbearing ;
therefore when a tree is very full of
fruit, it is economy to remove a portion
of it, for the benefit of the tree, as well
as the improvement of the fruit. It is
true, it is a work of no small magnitude
to thin an orchard of large apple trees,
and is rarely attempted by even the
best of fruit growers, but if one has a
tree of choice apples, and desires to
have them grow to large size and full
perfection, he will not neglect to thin
the fruit. Among all of the fruits there
is none that require thinning more than
the plum, providing the curcalio is kept
off, for trees in good condition, with
the insects kept off, will oftentimes be
so loaded with fruit as to break the
limbs ; and as the frait hangs in clusters,
the plums touching each other, as
soon as they begin to ripen, in wet or
even damp weather, they will begin to
set when they touch each other. This
fruit should be thinned so that each
plum shall hang by itself; to do this
oftentimes, five plums must be cut off,
where one is left.
The peach is another fruit that should
bo thirined, for although there is not
the danger of its rotting as there is of
the plum, yet the fruit when too thick,
is not only small, but lacks the rich
flavor which is possessed by large, wellmatured
fruit. Peach trees that are
permitted to overbear are oftentimes
injured beyond recovery.
Probably more attention has been
given to the thinning of pears than any
other fruit, except grapes, yet a pear
tree is rarely ever killed by overbearing,
but always injured. WLv this fruit
should be thinned, and many others entireiv
neeltcted in this respect, it is hard
to explain. Probably the thinning process
was first resorted to, that large
specimens might be secured for exhibition,
and finding that it was an operation
that paid, it was continued and
copied by others, until it became a
general custom among the growers of
large and -well-ripened pears. But even
the thinning of pears is the exception
to the rule ; a large majority of cultivators
have not the necessary courage to
go into the orchard and cut off threefourths
of the half-grown pears from
the trees. This is a business that it
takes time to learn, and to become convinced
that the one-quarter left will be
of more value than the whole would
have been if permitted to grow. When
11 ii.*?i?
tilt) uuiiivuiojL id uiiuc buirisucu. uu mia
point-, lie takes off green pears with, a
different feeling; ho no longer hesitates,
but picks off the froit with the
feeling that he is doing his duty.
When the thinning is all to be done
at one time, it is belter to wait nntil the
fruit is two-thirds grown, nnless the
trees are very full. As to the quality of
fruit to be left to mature, much depends
on the location and condition of the
tree; if the location is a good one, and
the tree is vigorous, it will be capable
of ripening more fruit than a tree in a
poor location, with small leaves. At the
present time the rule is that too much
fruit is left to glow. One who has never
had any experience in thinning fruit
would be surprised to see how quick the
fruit that is left to grow attains a sizo
that makes the tree look fuller than before
thinning. No one who has had experience
in growing grapes but h?s
settled down to the conclusion that it
is not only necessary to limit the number
of bunches of grape3 to the capacity
of the vine, but also that the number of
grapes to the bunch must be reduced
by thinning.' It is surprising to see
how a bunch will fill up after nearly half
of the grapes have been cut out. What is
true of grapes, we have no doubt is true
of many other kinds of fruit that grow
in clusters or bunches.

Augusta, "when one of vour gloves was

A Grand Wedding.
The recent wedding of Mr. William ;
Mackie and Miss Isabella Mitchell, in
Milwaukee, was a grand affair. There
were present 1,500 guests, and fully 20,000
people thronged the neighboring
streets to witness the oat-door display.
A correspondent says: "From every
point about the great mansion, from
ever tree and branch, from flower beds,
from fountains, pavilions aod marquee, 1
ten thousand lights of different hues lit :
up the resplendent scene from the grass ;
beneath one's feet to the tip of the great !
dome overshadowing the house. The j
promenades of the guests led them
among artificial lakes, fountains and i
statuary. One of the most imposing j
spectacles of the evening was a huge, j
many-jetted fountain, which burst into I
a grand display at the roar of artillery, j
From among jets a number of miniature j
dark lanterns flashed through the water i
with peculiar brilliancy and effect. The
bridal parlor was constructed in Moorish
styie. The furniture and decorations
formed a reproduction of the marvels
of the Alhambra. The embroidery
( was arranged at Cairo, Egypt, from
I special designs. The porcelain and
pottery ornamants were Bellanger's
latest designs from Paris. The dados
on the walls were manufactured expressly
for the occasion at Lyons,
France. The presents, which were not
on exhibition, were said to amount in all
to a value of upward of $100,000. It
required the assistance of one hundred
men to_arrange the grounds."
IlintM About Autumn Dresses.
Short dresses will continue in vogue !
for nearly all occasions, and that there j
will be no very decided changes in the j
next season's dresses. Plaited shirts
will display stripes advantageously, and
pleated flounces will be retained on account
of stripes, though gathered
flnnnr>As are sn?r<?ested for soft satin
stuffs, moires, and woolens. Basques j
of watered silk are being made for skirts !
of plain satin Surah that are trimmed
with moire. This fashion was intro-j
duced by the Princess of Wales during j
the summer, in a dress with white moire :
corsage and skirt3 of tulle. Short over-'
skirts with bouffant draperies are shown j
in the designs for new costumes. Corse-1
lets or wide girdles*of moire or of vel- I
vet are worn over soft wool basques that ]
may be either plain or pliated. Moire
collars of Byron shape and flat cuffs to j
match are a neat finish for camel's-hair
and cashmere dresses. This moire may
be shaded, or else changeable, and is !
used in the lower skirt, while the over- j
skirt is of the woolen goods. Florentine |
bronze shades of mixed green and gold, [
mort dore (golden browii) and dull red '
will be popular colors for wool and for j
silk costumes. Satin Surahs and Rhadzimir
silks with satin luster are largely
imported for black dresses. Plushes
and velvets are chosen for trimmings of
wool and of satins stuffs. For overgarments
there are long cloaks not ad- j
justed to the figure, and also close-fit- j
ting jaunty jackets. The rich satin ;
brocades in new designs of chains, j
linked rings, plush diamonds, and velvet j
figures will be used for elegant wraps.
A great deal of color will, it is said, be i
?een in the imported cloaks, but black j
will remain the standard choice for garments
to'be worn in the street during
the day, while colored wraps will be
reserved for driving, for receptions, and
for evening toilets. The beauty of the j
black mantles will consist of rich linings |
of plush, and of moires, and changeable J

Ladies' riding habits have undergone |
quite a change both in make and color. [
Unlike other articles of feminine attire,
until recently very little alteration has
been made in them for years. Now, I
however, there are several important j
changes. A tall silk hat is no longer '
an indispensable part of the riding dress.
The most comfortable and by far the
most becoming hats being of a round
form, matching in color the habit worn j
with- it, and trimmed simply with a j
broad ostrich plume which wreathes the
crown and droops very low in the back, :
sometimes reaching the shou'der. The j
ccost fashionable habits are made in
myrtle or bottle green, dark marine
blue, claret or seal brown. They are

copied after the style of the English
hunting dresses, where, amid the bushes j

that it is sometimes necessary to button i
the skirt after the wearer has mounted
her saddle, a double row of bone bnt-i

fastens at the side. The back part of
the skirt is different from that which
covers the knees, this being necessary
in order to give sufficient fullness for the
skirt to go over the pommel easily. A 1

Gems as Charms.
The belief in gems is being endowed i
with the most marvelous powers, ridic-1
ulous as it may seem to the modern 1
mind, was in reality a legitimate off- j
spring of what has been not inappro- j
priately called "natural" religion, j
Looking around him and above him
through the universe, dim to his eyes,
man first of all perceived that while the
mass of o bjects on earth were the same j
occurring in masses, there existed a few ;
things that were verv rare. And among |
the rarest of rare things were the pre- j
cious stones. But they were not only 1
found in small quantities, and of the
most diminutive size compared with
other things, but they had peculiar
forms, with a luster of their own resembling
that of the stars. They were
unlike all other substances found under
and above the earth. It was quite logical
that they should be considered before
all things "precious," specially
created by supernatural powers, and
endowed as such with supernatural -virtues.
The belief, originating probably
in India, the cradle and first home of !
all gems and precious stones, spread !
rapidly through the ancient world, as |
recorded, among others, in many pas- i
sages of the Bible. Thus we are told j
in the twenty-eighth chapter of Exodus j
that gems were an indispensable adjunct;
in the attire of the high priest. "And
thon shalt put in the breastplate of:
judgment the Urim and the Thummim;
and they shall be upon Aaron's heart
when he goeth in before the Lord: and
Aaron shall bear the judgment of the
children of Isj?el upon his heart before
the Lord continually." It is probable :

were large diamonds, although Epiphan- j

learned historian, describes them as of
a siy-color, and they therefore may
have been sapphires, valued eqnal to ,
diamonds in ancient times. According
to Epiphanius, the Trim and the Thnm- j

of Aaron were endowed with special :
virtues, for " the change in the color of i
them, when he came out from the sane-!
tuary, manifested the favor or anger of j
Jehovah."
Not only the natives of India, the i
Egyptians, the Jews, and other nations .
of ancient history had full faith in the \
occult power of gems, but even the j
highly cultivated Greeks believed in it. i
The Greek trust in the wonder-working i
power of precious stones is expressed in j
numerous works of their classical wri- j
ters, and stands forth strikingly in an I
" Ode on Gems," by the national singer J
Orpheus. In this poem of about eight |
hundred pages a list is given of all the
the precions stone3 known to the
Greeks, and the supernatural qualities '
ascribed to each of them. Orpheus calls !
gems in general " the highest gift of |
Jove to mortals." bestowed upon them i
as "a sure remedy against all earthly i
woes." All precious stones, says Or- j
pheus, are hidden by the gods under- ground,
" in mystic caves," and whoso-1

C. H. Wood, Esq., of theCJ. & T. Ey.,
Port Huron, Mich., favors our correspondent
with the following: After
suffering for nearly a year with rheumatism,
receiving treatment from most
of the best physicians of Michigan and
the West, I happened to try a bottle of
Si. Jacobs Oil. Upon the first application
I used folly half a bottle, and its
effect was almost instantaneous. I
immediately dropped all other treatment,
and confined myself to its use
alone. After the use of tliree bottles,
instead of being driven to my bnsiness,
or moving about on crutches, I walked
from one to three miles daily abont
bnsiness, and have been free from tbis
horrible disease for over a year, not
having the slightest twinge of it.
Hence, I say that all medicines known
to me are useless when compared with
the Old German Remedy. Use this
statement when and where it suits.
Stories About Spotted Tail.
The late Indian chief, Spotted Tail,
was of a very generous, kind-hearted
and charitable disposition. He always
treated his family very kindly. A1
times he would be quite well fixed ir
the way of ponies, horses, wagons, &c.,
but upon finding among his people
seme one needing something of the
kind he would unhesitatingly supply
the want from his own stock. He frequently
extended aid to orphans, and
occasionally adopted one and brought
it up in his own family.

Dear Sir?The great benefit I have received from th<
use of Vegetine induces me to (jive my testimony ii
its favor. For several years my lace has been coverei
with pimples, which caused me much annoyance
and. knowing it to be a blood disease, I consulted i
number of doctors, and also tried many, preparation
without obtaining any benefit, uniil I commence
t:vji:u," vkgf.tink, and before I had used the first bot
tic I saw I had the ri^ht medicine. 1 have used thre
bottirN and find jay health much improved; m;

Through the Weary Honrs
Of many a night, made doubly long by its protracted
agony, the rheumatic sufferer tosses to
and fro on his sleepless couch, vainly praying
for that rest which only comes by fita and
starts. His malady is one which ordinary medicines
too often fail to relieve, but there is ample
evidence to prove that the efficient blood
depnrent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, affords
the rheumatic a reliable means of relief. Check
tVia malftdv in its incipient stages, when the
first premonitory twinges come on, with this
agreeable medicine, and avoid years of torture.
Whatever be the rationale of the active influence
of the Bitters upon this malady, certain
it is that no evidence relating to its effects is
more direct and positive than that which relates
to its action in case of rheumatism. Like
all sterling remedies, however, it deserves a
protracted, systematic trial, and should not be
abandoned Because not at once remedial. It is
equally efficacious in dyspepsia, indigestion
and kindred diseases.
Recently a number of tlie beautiful
little shell fish called " Portuguese
men-of-war " ? nautilus ? have been
blown ashore on the Ventura beach,
Cal., to the great delight of amateur
collectors.
You Can be Happy
I If you will stop all your extravagant and wrong
' notions in doctoring yourself and families with
S expensive doctors or humbug cure-alls, that do
; harm always, and use only nature's simple remL
edu-s for all your ailments?you will be wise,
well and happy, and save great expense. The
1 greatest remedy for this, the creat, wise and
i good will tell you, is Hop Bitters?believe it
