stranded high and dry in St. Louis.— The tour through Illinois was a gieat

failure, owing, it i- claimed, to a lack of lii.siiic. management by Ghorue Kt [\i.K. vrho lei tiie pirty at St. Loui.-.

As exp.'rieiieod cotton planter of the

South, who has tried the cultivation of

the '-staple" in the Golden State, gives it

as his opinion that twenty steer? of Cali foinia land planted with cotton will yield

double tiie profit of one hundred acres

devoted to wheat. Here is a new held of

wealth to California^. But it i# a great pity that this discovery was not made in

the scarce cotton times of the. war for the

l.'uion. Her cj-.tou liclds would then

have funded more fortunes than did her

placers.

JL. S. Ai.i.iorr, iud'i-trial agent of the

Kansas and i'aciiic liailroad, reports upon

extensive experitnenls to cultivate the :,,i 1 of the great plain, or American Des

profitably study. S!ic has been the (pn-

ctest among the principal cities of that

section since thesuppre-sion of the Rebel

prosperous. Since I860 she has added

twenty-one tbo i-and to Iter population, has re-established in an improved man

ner all her transportation routes, does thriving trade, exporting annually up

wards of llfty million dollars' worth of

she did previous to 1 S0.

New Hampshire opens the spring politi

cal canvass. The indications are that the campaign will be an exciting and closely-

contested one. The two partio are more

nearly equal in New Hampshire than ii

any other of the New England States

with the po-sible exception of Connecti-

cist. The Republicans have always hith

erto profited by the dissensions of their

opponents, but these have now been healed, and with a labor reform ticket in

the field our friends have a hard strug gle before them. The Republican ma

of balmorals made from it, including but 'tons, nails, etc., costs the manufacturer

about liftv cents, and a '-team"of iive men and three girls, will put a pair of shoes through from it (machine votkl,and sew on the butfns ready for the feet, in fifteen minutes. Estimating their wages at So per day, the labor bestowed upon each pair would amount to sixty cents. Ihe manufacturer seldom get* 82 for them, and this leaves the man- who sells a larger profit than the man who makes the leather or he who makes the shoes. To prove this we weighed a pair of balmoral boots and found the weight to be just one pound. Half a pound ol sttch sole leather as is u-ed for these costs twentv cents, and the bull morocco" uppers, at half the price of morocco, about liftv cents.

ENOKMOl'S FJtOFITS.

A maunftotu 1 er in Iiiddcford, Me., make- 10,000, pairs of ladies' and mif.-es' shoes per year. If he pavs Newark wages, which is improbable, bis men get So per day and his girls SI 7o which in 309 working days in the car would be .•?4O,0 )0, or SI for each pair of shoes.— The uppers, if for a second trrade article, which retail from S4 to Si 50, cost, according to manufacturers' statement, SI, the soles 20c, and tiimming 10c. This brings each pair of shoes up to 82 30.— If the retailers buy at So, it leaves the manufacturer 70c on each pair, or $2S,Oo0 advance per year for his own work, the use of machinery, interest on building, etc. If lie makes a lower priced ar ticle the cost is proportionately less and •hr- protii about the same. Reside?, skins are bought by the square foot, and three feet estimated for a pair of balmorals, !hough nobody ever heard of a pair of shoes requiring more than t:ro leet. At this rate a skin of certain -i/,e is estimated to make a given number of shoes, but the surplus, small, odd pieces, furnish material for children's shoes, which command a high price for so little leather.— And it has been alleged time and again (bat it is in the leather that the shoe pinches. The demand for leather during the war was, indeed, enormous, and our brave boys wore it out faster than the hides could grow on the cattle. Rut the price, of ladies' shoes is higher now than in war times, and even then our soldiers did not wear morocco.

We have shown that the leather for the best and highest priced shoes does not exceed SI 40 yet that doe.- not matter. A man in Maine has, a tight to make S2iS,000 per year if he ehoo-es, and it is none of our business, so long as a New York clerk who cams Sl,o00, and his wife and six children to be shod, does not have to contiibu'.e to ihe pile S2" profit on lie sixteen pairs required for himself and family.

A good skin or pebble moroccobalnioral sells from 81 oO to So. Another kind come a dollar higher, because they are "French" morocco. Yet this French morocco leather is sold to manufacturers at the same price as other skins. A Newark man says he makes more of this kind of leather in his fue:ory at Newark than (he whole amount imported from France. Some varieties of sheep in the mountainous districts of Europe, said to be about "half goal,'' arc discovered So be whole goat the moment the skin is taken oil', and our native sheep skins, selling for eighty cents each, green, are doctored into a kind of bogus morocco, and worked off by Cheap Johns, and others "skilled in ways that are dark,'' for real goat -kin morocco and even respectable dealers fell children's shoes made of it. A very common trick, largely practiced, is to put good leather over the toe of theshoe, and work in an inferior article wherethebulk of material is required, over the in.-tep and around the tinkle—in other words, the leg of the balmoral is made of poor trash. A pair of handmade balmorals, requiring the same quantily of leather as the ol hers, costs from 80 20 to A man for doing this extra work is paid three dollars per day, earns from two to four dollars per pair for his employer, anil finishes two pairs per day.

A pair of shoes for a child two years old sells from 81.oO to 85, while the ma terial in them costs the manufacturer 00 cents and the labor 30 cents Though ihe high price of leather is claimed as a reason for keeping tip the price of men's shoes, men's walking shoes sold at 83 and upwards, have very little leather in them. The uppers contain less than halt a pound of calf skins, worth SO cents.— The soles contain less than half a pound of .-ole leather, valued at 20 cents, he labor bestowed 011 the shoe is !e than that on a lady's balmoral, and costs about 50 cents. These shoes, hand 111 ado. retail for $5. Congress gaiters, at corresponding rates of cost, vield about ihe same profits. 'The whole.-aic price for the best French calfskins is 82 per pound. A pound of the leather will make a pair oi boots.— l'his pound, cut and crimped ami treed, is sold to the shoemaice" for 81 50. and he linds the soles and puts them on lotSo. Roots put up in this way are sold tor from 812.50 to S13. One pair is a day's work for which the workman ge 83.

One of these boots can be made in le-s time than it takes us to write a de-crip-tion of ihe process. I he uppeis and lin ings are cut by hand, by a pattern laid on the material. The sides and heels are cut by a blow ol a mallet on a sharp cutler of the proper shape. The uppers are taken to the luting loom, whe they are fastened and ihe work run tluough a sewing machine in a lew minutes, i'hey aie now tian-tened to the stock room, arranged in pairs, placed over a la-t. and fastened all around by a row of a which clinch on the iron plate inside Ihe shoe now passes to the sewing ma chine.

The piiotograpli which is made upon the eye of the beholder as lie takes in all this grandeur from the summit of Yettvius. or even from S:. Elmo or Camaldoli, is one 111iit will never fade until both eye and mind become dim. 'The view from the top of Vesuvius is one ol the finest in the whole-world. I do not remember any other point from which so much that is grand and biattiii'ul in nature and art, combined with so much that is interesting in history, can be seen at once.

A striking peeulia'-it.v of the scene around and within ihe Iiay of Naples, is the deep azure hue which is shed over every object. The IJlue Grotto, as it is called, on the island of Cappi, is only an inten-iiication of the cerulean which pervades both land and sea. As you look out from Naples or Vesuvius, or any other point across the wide bav, the islands and the mountains around Sorrento are painted by nature in the same deep tints with which artists adorn their pictures, but which in the latter case appear almost unnatural. They are true to nature.

A Woiiittii's Sintgg-Ie With a Deer.

The iCeokuk Constitution tell of a curious sti uggle between a woman and a deer, in ar Summitsviile, Iowa. Mr. Will Col lins, who ie-idcs near that place, started up a wild buck, and, in the chase the frightened deer leaped over the fcnce into Mr. Collins' yard. It was immediately attacked by a bull-dog, and detained until the hounds came up, which aho engaged in the struggle. Mrs. Collins, who was the only person present at the time, tuok up the gun to shoo: the buck, but, fearing she would kill one of the dogs, laid the weapon aside, and seizing an ax, went to the assistance of the canines.— As .-he was aiming a blow at the enraged deer it sprang at her, knocking her down, and commenced stamping her in the breast. The dogs seized the buck and dragged it away from Mrs. Collins, but not until .-he was Rcverelv injured by its hoofs. Nothing daunted Mrs. Collins renewed her attack upon the infuriated an imal wiih the ax, but was again knocked down by it, and stamped more seve ely than before. The dogs once more went to her rescue, and succeeded in getting ihe animal away from her. Mrs. Collins repeated her assault upon the buck, and this time succeeded in dispatching him. The lady was se-iot'. -iy but not dangerously injured.

Valuing.

L'r. Holmes says: "Walking is a perpetual falling wiih a perpetual self-rc-covery. It is a most complex, violent, and perilous operation, which we divest of its extreme danger only by continual practice Irom a very early period of lite. We lilid how complex it is when we .attempt to analyze it. We learn how violent it is. when we walk against a post or a door in 1110 da k. We discover how dangerous it is, when we slip or trip and come down, perhaps breaking or dislocating our limbs, or over looking the last step of a (light of stairs, and discover with what headlong violence we have been hurling ourselves forward."

Prof. Wilder adds: "One very curious fact in regard to walking is that one side of the body always tends to outwalk the other side. It is not possible when the eyes are shut to walk in a straight line for any length of time. We have hea storics-of persons losing their way in wood- and on prairies, and coming out so as to indicate that they had been walking nearly in a circle. I have myself tried experiments in a large room, and have found 011 looking at a crack in the floor and closing the eyes that it was impossible to keep lhat crack. I almost always lurned to ihe right, and it will be found, where persons lose their way, lhat they almost invariably wander off to the right rather than ihe left.
