LOOK out for further advances in the price of leather. A few days ago the Leather Trust ordered a 60 days shut down of the 100 tanneries in its contro]. The order was imperative not to put another hide in the vats nor to take one out during this period. The order will throw 15,000 men out of work until after New Year's.
JONES, he pays the freight. Jones, of Bingh&mpton, paid the freight until he became Lieutenant Governor of New York, but has not said much about it since. The farmer, he pays the freight. Stock and grain buyers figure on what they are offered for stock or grain in New York or other markets, and then make an offer to the farmer for his stuff so that the difference between tbeij buying price and selling price covers the freight and profit, which means that the man who raised the prouuets get just as much less for them as the freight and profit amount to. When the farmer buys a manufactured article the mam who sells sets the price, and of course the freight is added in. The farmer does not set the price on either what he sells or what he buys.
A NEW force has appeared in politics. Men who think the ladies have no influence and will cut no figure in the elections, will be badly disappointed. They will exercise a controlling and decising influence and it will be for the better. Last year in Lexington, Ky., they knocked out that libertine and disgraced congressman, Col. W. C. P. BreGkenridge and he is so dead he is never heard of no more. This year the women again, triumphed at Lexington, by the election of the entire "woman's ticket" for the Board of?Education, by a majority of 3,627. There was no Republican ticket in the field, only the straight Democratic, all men, and the Woman's ickefc, composed of four ladies and four gentleman. The women, throughout the campaign, laid aside every issue but the one ot a non-partisan school board, and the result shows how handsomely they won.
AT the Republican meeting at Indianapolis, Wednesday, Congressman Henry U. Johnson in a brief speech, gave some most wholesome words of advice to the Republican party. He reminded his hearers that success was often more dangerous to a party than defeat. He said that defeat would nerve a man to greater exertions, while success might induce him to rest, feeling secure in the victories won. "Few men," he said, "know how to draw lessons from victories. While not dampening your ardor,' I would remind you of the army that disorganized too so»n after victory. We should strengthen our forces and keep up our organization. Let us read that victory means that we must deserve the victory. Let us not be vain enough to suppose that the recent elections were solely a victory of Republicans. It was not solely on account of the Republicans that we carried the Southern States. Let us concede that many Democrats voted with us because they loved their country better than their party. Let us realize that while we can readily see how Democratic theories in practice carry the country to ruin, yet that a great many Democrats are honest in their advocacy and have the courage ef their convictions. Let our language be one of logic as well as enthusiasm."

Levi McCormick and W. Judkins, two of Hancock county's veteran fence builders, have just completed an elegant wire fence for S. H. Tracy, just north of Fountaintovvn. It is handsome, substantial, durable and cheap. Mr. Tracy proposes to put the farm which he recently purchased in A No. 1 order, and has made a flue beginning. He lives partly in Hancock and partly in Shelby county, as the countygline runs right through his house.

The Typewriter In India.
A quaint tale of a typewriter is told by an Anglo-Indian who has just come home. One of the English judges in India was an expert on the machine, and it occurred to him to use it for the taking of judicial notes. The machine was conveyed into court, when a certain novelty was imparted to the proceedings by the click of the keys and the tinkle of the bell which indicated that a line had been completed. The prisoner was found guilty and sentenced. Promptly he appealed, on the ground that instead of listening to the evidence the judge had whiled away his time by playing on a musical instrument.—Realm.
The Sanger of Belts.
Doctors say that they fear the general wearing of belts of late has caused not a little overlacing. There seems some ground for this apprehension. One can so easily pull up a belt a little and the result makes all the difference between an absurdly 'large waist and one that looks trim and becomingly curved. Women who have never thought of tight lacing are induced to try it for the first time when they wear a silk belt with a gown. The only other refuge for the stout is no waist line defined at all.
Acre once meant any field. It is still used with this significance by the Germans, who speak of God's acre, alluding to the cemetery.

TWO BOOKS WHICH A NEWSPAPER MAN FOUND IN ENGLAND.
How Pennsylvania Was Boomed In Ye Olden Time—Its Climate, Soil and People Praised—A Schoolmaster's Textbook
That Belonged to William Penn,
I have before me now two little books which have been lent to mo for a fow days, and which, I think, could hardly fail to interest any Pennsylvanian so I shall endeavor to describe them as well as I can, as most people can never see them, both of them being rare and one being absolutely unique.
The first of these is a small duodecimo of not more than 100 pages, though the following title page might easily mislead one to expect rather a larger volume "An Historical and Geographical Account of the Province of Pennsilvania and of West New Jersey In America the Richness of the Soil, the Sweetness of the Situation, the Wholesomeness of the Air, the Navigable Rivers and Others, the Prodigious Increase of Corn, the Flourishing Condition of the City of Philadelphia, With the Stately Buildings and Other Improvements There the Strange Creatures, as Birds, Beasts, Fishes and Fowls, With the Several Sorts of Minerals, Stones and Purging Waters Lately Discovered the Natives, Aborigines, Their Language, Religion, Laws and Customs the First Planters, the Dutch, Swedes and English, With the Number of Inhabitants as Also a Touch Upon George Keith's New Religion In His Second Change Since He Left the Quakers With a Map of Both Countries. By Gabriel Thomas, Who Resided There About Fifteen Years. London Printed and Sold by A. Baldwin, at the Oxon Arms, in Warwick Lane, 1698."
He explains in the preface that, as there never has been a fair or full account of "Pennsilvania," he thinks the curious will be gratified with an ample description. He explains why more has not been heard of it, predicts a thriving future and says he "could say much in praise of that sweet tract of land," but reserves it for the body of the book.
After this comes a small folded map, very interesting and signed Philip Lea, London. It represents "Pennsilvania" as consisting of only four couuties— Bucks, Philadelphia, Chester and New Castle, with Virginia on the west, West New Jersey on the east, Maryland on the south and Canada on the north.
Some of the names are rather surprising. For instance, immediately opposite Philadelphia, on the Delaware, is a Dutch fort, and just hack of that is a place called Yaoomajishaghkings. In our own state the chief places seem to be Haverford, Darby, Plymouth, Germantown, West Town, Radnor, Newtowa and Lewiston.
After the map 55 small pages are devoted to the description of Pennsylvania, from which we learn that, though the province is 300 miles in length by 180 in width, by far the greater part of it is still in the hands of the natives, who are "supposed by most people to have been of the Ten Scattered Tribes.
The Dutch came and traded, the Swedes and Finns came and settled, and finally William Penn came and founded Philadelphia, "a noble and beautiful city, which contains above 2,000 houses, all inhabited and most of them stately and of brick—generally three stories high, after the mode in London. "Moreover, in this province are four great market towns—viz, Chester, tho Germantown, New Castle and Lewistown.
Among the laws—for this author gives a synopsis of those also—perhaps the most striking is this: "Thieves of all sorts are obliged to restore fourfold, after they have been whipped and imprisoned, according to the nature of their crime, and if they be not of ability to restore fourfold they must be in servitude till 'tis satisfied."
I could give many more curious excerpts, but will content myself with one before passing on to the other book: "The Christian children born here are generally well favored and beautiful to behold, being in the general observed to be better natured, milder and more tender hearted than those born in England."
The other book is still more rare. It is called "A New Primer, or Methodical Direction to Attain the True Spelling, Reading and Writing of English, Wliereunto Are Added Some Things Necessary and Useful, Both For the Youth of This Province and Likewise For Tlioso Who From Foreign Countries and Nations Come to Settle Among Us. ByF. D. P. Printed by William Bradford in New York and sold by the Author in Pennsilvania.
The printed book itself is a curious little echoolbook, and is so rare that it is not mentioned by Allibone, who was himself a Philadelpliian. But this particular copy is of especial and extraordinary interest because it has been bound up with about 30 blank pages, upon which the author, in most clear and beautiful manuscript, has written some very quaint things. It was especially bound for William Penn, with his initials and the date 1701 on the cover, and inside is a bookplate bearing the Penn arms and motto, and "William Penn, Esquire, Proprietor of Pensylvania, 1703." It is worthy noting the throe different forms of spelling the name of the province used by those two different authors and by Penn himself. —Birmingham (England) Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

HIT ON THE BATTLEFIELD. A, General Miles Tells of the Sensations Produced by Gunshot Wonnds. "You have been wounded several times, general. How does it feel to be shot?" "That depends upon where the ball strikes you,'' replied General Miles. "If it passes through the fleshy part of the body without hitting the bone, it is a half mile away before you realize that you are shot. If it meets with resistance, however, you get the full force of the bullet, and it strikes you like a sledge hammer. I was shot in the neck. The ball cut along the side of my throat, under my ear and passed on. At Chancellorsville a ball struck my waist belt plate, and then, deflecting, went into the body. The blow paralyzed me. I could not move for weeks from my waist downward, and everyone thought I would die. I was taken home to Massachusetts, and after a few days I surprised the doctors by moving my right foot. They took this for a sign that the ball was in the opposite side of the body and probed for it, laying the bone of my hip bare. They found the bone broken and took out nine pieces, leaving one, which they failed to find. They found the bullet several inches farther down than these pieces of broken bone. "At another time I was wounded in the shoulder by the half of a bullet. I was holding my sword up to my shoulder when the bullet struck the edge of the blade and was cut in two, one half of the bullet flying on and the other going into my shoulder. At another time I was wounded in the foot, the ball striking a Mexican spur that I was wearing and going off into my foot. By the way, I think I have the spur. Here tho general opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out a big Mexican spur, which was broken on one side. The break was caused by the bullet striking the spur.—Blooming ton (Ills.) Pantograph.
FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
Annihilation of the British Empire From a French Point of View. As a specimen of rabid writing in the French press I give a passage from an article I once read in Le Matin: "The English empire in India is now a spectacle of extortion, rapine, famine and bankruptcy. All crumble into ruins —towns, villages, reservoirs and public works, temples and tombs the railways pass through deserted villages and dilapidated towns the ordinary highways are impracticable—it is impossible to use a carriage 12 miles outside of Calcutta. The English have made a purely superficial conquest of these vast regions. They do not live there they are only encamped their children die there, and with their gross bodies—all flesh and blood—they cannot acclimatize themselves there. India is for them a place of exile, a tropical Siberia, which they escape from as soon as possible they are equally detested by the Hindoos and Mussulmans. The flame of this implacable hatred poisons the lives of the conquerors. The day when Russia blows upon this castle of cards it must fall immediately, audEuglandof the British channel will perish through India. Asia will cease to be a sterile and withered branch of humanity. Once escaped from the vampires of London, she will revive and awake to*a new existence. The Russian conquest on the banks of the Ganges will be the signal for the downfall of the Anglo-Saxon power in both hemispheres. Nothing will remain standing in the parent country—aristocracy and church, commerce and industry, will simultaneously disappear."
The writor, having thus annihilated the British empire and distributed her colonies "among the great powers," goes on to predict that "a new hour will then have struck for the human race," etc.—National Review.
Tellurium.
A mining paper states, as a practical fact worth knowing, that any miner or prospector who has a blowpipe, alcohol lamp and a few drops of cold sulphuric acid can in a fow minutes determine whether tellurium is present in ores, all that is necessary being to break off a small piece of the ore, place it in a porcelain dish previously warmed so as to avoid breaking, apply the blowpipe until the ore is at an oxidizing heat, then put one or two drops of the sulphuric acid on the porcelain dish and allow to mix with the ore—the reaction will immediately follow, if tellurium be present, by beautiful carmine and purple colors. The metal fuses at about 500 degrees C., and is distilled at a very high temperature. Its vapor is golden yellow and has a very brilliant absorption spectrum, while the electrical conductivity, like that of seleuium, is largely influenced by the temperature previous to heat, increasing after exposure to light, though not to the same extent as does selenium. Tellurium burns, when heated in the air, with a blue flame, evolving white vapor of tellurium dioxide. It is insoluble in water and carbon disulphide, but dissolves in cold fuming sulphuric acid, imparting to the solution a most ploasing carmine color which almost immediately passes into a purple. The compact form is a silver white, resplendent metal of markedly crystalline structure.
"Dry Geysers" of Yellowstone Park. There are several holes in the Yellowstone park region which are locally reputed to be "bottomless. Geological authorities say that they are "dry geysers. Into one of them, known as "Hell's Back Door," 10,000 feet of line, with weight attached, has been lowered, without striking bottom.—St. Louis Republic.
The strangers who go up the railway lo Vesuvius, in spite of the long journey (eight hours there and back) and the high price (£1), number about 10,000 yearly.
