TUBPENTLNE MAKING.
A Ch.racterietio North Carolina Industry,
From tho FpecLl Correspondent of the Tribune.
Kaybttevillr, N. C, Ool. 25. Tbo
turpentine woods of North Curolina
uro in tho Soulhorn nud Eaotnrn ctmn
tios, oxtonJing nowhere north of the
latitudo of Kuloigh, and but littlo west
of the contra of tho Slate. Tha prin
cipul market fur tho palo of the crop in
Wilmington, nnd nearly all of tbo for
ests now workod lio within a few miles
of one of the milroiida leading to that
city, or of the Cnpo Four River and
its tributaries. Wilmington is alao
tho raurkot for a conoiderablo portion
of tho naval stores produced In South
Carolina, and its cnliro trtido in them
fur 1871 amounted to 119,323 barrels
ol spirits of turpentine, G10,G07 bar
rels of rosin, 40,007 barrels of tar, nnd
20,304 barrels of crudo turpentine, nnd
during 1872 it will bo considerably
ereater.
A turpentine lorcst is not the tlarx,
dismal place I had imagined it to be
from (kneripttons I bud read aud illus
trations I had seen. I am told tlut
omo of them are dense nnd gloomy,
but thoso I visited near Witnington,
along tho Capo Fear ICivcrand around
Pnyottovillo, ra oo eauly wood.d
na 10 furnish Vory litllo ehttdo.Thl
tree from which tho crude turpentine
is obtuiued is what is known as the
"round" or "long-lenfod" pino, which
abounds in tho Curolinns, Goort'ia, Al
abama, nnd some other Roiithern
Smus. They aro found only whore
tho orleiiial oreHt has not been re
moved, and when iLi.T r tut down
nature docn not renew tlie'O, but sub-
slitutob a crop ot oaks, which ?u turn
gives pluoo lo pines of nn inferior
spctics. Theirocsmo tull and straight,
from threo to tivo fuel in diamotcr nnd
running up about tho samo size 40 or
50 feet without branches, except near
the very top. Tho crude turpentine
in obtainod by "working" tho trco, or,
in other words, by tapping it. Home
iinnginativo artist, in illustrating lor
a New York runguzine an article on
Iho production ol naval stores, drew s
Northern pine tree with tho branches
growing nearly lo tho ground j into
the side of it he inserted a spigot out
of which tho pure spirits of turpentlno
was represented as flowing with a
,-..l.ln.M'i .lenam intm barrel,
To have inn Jo tho picluro complolc
ho should have had a negro standing
ready to close Iho stopcock and place
benctitb it a Iresh barrel ns fustnsono
bocaino full. The pconlo of this re
"Inn lutrn nnrnt fn.,it I nn ll,,l ,.tilnt-A
B.v., ,.,T...,,V, ,,6v ,..
which, ihcy say, came about as near
giving a true idea of lio method of
"working" a turpentine treo, as the
administration press has ever come to
representing tho true condition of so,
cloty in tho South.
When a now Ireo is to be worked;,
tho first thintf nnnrmaury i to tap it
and construct the box or pocket which
in to catch tho crudo lurpotitino as it
oozes out nun runs down tno siue oi
tho trco. This is duno by cutting
with an ax six or eight inches Into
tbo side of tho treo at right angles lo
its axes and about a fool from the
ground. A wedgo-Mmpcd pieco is
then chopped out by culling diugon
ally from n point on the bark about
)0 inches above tho first incision to
the bottom of it. This leaves a buri
zontul shelf in tho sido of the tree, out
of which is scooped by means of
peculiar shaped uxo, nn oval pouki t,
holdinir from one to two quarts. TIiih
leaves Iho n juice over the box from
which Iho hark tins been removed
Iho form of a triangle wilb tho npex
pointing upward. It left in this slinpe
the gum oozing out from beneath the
cut bnrk would follow its edges and
run olT at tho sides of tbo box upon
the ground.- A triangular piece is
thereloro cut from the bark on ench
aide of the spuce referred to, which
loaves, directly over the box, a trian
gular pioce of bark joined abovo by
its baso to the main bark of the tree
and with its angle pointing to tbo con
ter of the box. This serves ns
"leader" to conduct Ijje gum into the
pocket. Every week a strip an inch
wido Is cut from the side of tho trian
gular piece of hark4 thus preserving
its shapo and causing the tree to
tune. Once in six weeks the boxu
are emptied ; their contents aro dip
ped out into buckets by moans ot a
pnddlo made for that purpose and the
crudo turpentino is emptied into bar
rels and huuled away lo the distillery.
Some of the gum, insleud of running
down into tho box congeals on the
"face" of the tree, that is, ou the part
from which the bark has been removed,
and forms & thick crust. This Is
known as bard turpentino and is al
lowed to remain until Winlor, when
ilisaornpedofTaud treated like the soft.
On largo trcos, two and sometime
thrco or four boxes are cut. Expcri-
onco has proved that a strip of bark
butweon tho boxes and fucos, threo
inches wide, convoys enough sap to
the tree lo keep it alive. During tho
first year thut a trco is workod tho
sap has but a short distance to pass
beforo reaching tho box, and there
fore, becomes very littlo discolored by
tho sun. The spirits distilled from
this turpentino aro no butter than any
other, but iho rosin, which is the resi
duum aftor dinlillution, is of a super
ior quality, and is known as "pnlo" or
'window-glas"rosin. The crude tur-
peutiuu from which il is made is called
"virgin dip." The second and third
years that a tree is worked the rosin
produced is known as "yellow Utp.
Common, durk rosin is the product ol
trees that have been boxed four years
or more. Trees ooustantly workod
last 15 or 20 yoars before being "work
ed out."
Some of the turpontino orchards
are wnrkr-fl DV ino men nu uwu
them, and in a fow cases, where a man
has a large forost, ho distils his own
turpentine. Often, howevor.the orch
ards are rented out by the year. Tho
ordinary price for tho use of 1,000
boxes for a year, since tho wur, has
boon from 115 to S20. Last ycur tho
naval stores advanced so much that
the bnriincss was greatly stimulated,
and at the opening of tho present sea
tion tho demand for trees was so great
that the rent advanced to 825, and in
some instances, 830 a thousand accord
t' thctr convenience lo a uislii
ing
lory. The work of tonding the tree.
is done entirely by negroes, each of
whom carries fur a "orop ' or M f
lni. Each cron produces
2U0 narreis or crone ttn pontine In a
sousnn. Tho negroes soem to prefer
working in the turpentine woods to
any kind of agricultural labor, both
because tho work is generally mro
acreeableatid commands belter wages
Tbo result in that some of tho central
counties of the Slate are so drained of
negroes as lo be greatly suffering for
the need of laborers. Ablobodicd no
groos cupablo of caring for a crop of
trees throughout tho season have been
ge.norft.'ly paid, since the wur, about
$15 10 .'!0 fl uionlli, wiuioui uuaiu.
This votir they h.vo asked 2o and in
some instances 1 bear Hint even 830
have been paid.

'-Their, Stoy:'--:
At Detroit Inst week, on their way
eastward frm Canada, wore married
pidr of long-lriod lovers whose story
is made puhlio by tho W of that
city. In 1857, the twain, then living
id a village of Ontario county, Mich.,
wore betrothed for whut they hoped
to find an early marriage tho young
man being a student of law, whilo the
udy shared a small hereditary cslato
with her widowed mother and a broth
or, a planter at' the South. What lit
tlo money there was in iho caao ap
pertained to the coming bride, Who,
with the -generosity characteristic of
her emotion, counted pleasantly upon
the great benefit it should be to tho
struggling novico at tho bar while yet
he awaited his first client. The wed
ding day was appointed, nnd tho pro
liminary arrangements were nearly
completed, when news . came suddonly
from tho son and brother ot the Sonlh
ern plantation that be had failod dis
astrously in n heavy cotton specula
tion, and was not only reduced to
temporary bankruptcy, but alao in
volved In debts for which his. private
honor s was specially plcdgod. lie
wroto to bis mother and sistor in pas
sionate diitrcss of mind, praying them
to help him if they could, or ho must
bo dishonored as well as ruined : and
they, without a thought of the selfish
noss of the demand, hesitated not to
decide that ho bhotild freely bave their
all. Tho little home-estate was sold
and the devoted women sent its whole
price to the bankrupt ; and tho sinter.
after joining in this saorifico, declared
to her lover that thoir ongagcinent
for niarriaca must not continue She
had consented to tho littler in the be
lief that sho could enter their proposed
union with some means of hor own to
aid its first struggling years, but now
that thoir marriage must necessarily
bo into helpless poverty on both sidos
she would not allow horsolf lo becomo
sheer burden to one whom bIio loved
Very poor himself, as the law student I
ccrluiuly was, nod mnd as it would
have been for him to marry under
such circumstances, be protested ve
hemently against tbo witter judgment
and lesser Sclfie-lines of hi betrothed,
Upl n"0 U,m,iciii uao vi evuiy mu
muni that youtlilul romunco and ex
cited fooling could inf-piro at such a
lime. Hut iho girl was linn. She
in slitod thnt no engagement hhould
oxil between them until timo hud
brought brighter fortunes to or.o or
both, and the young man was com
pelled to yield. As they wero nnublo
to help each othor us they wore then
aituated, tho disengaged lover present
ly thought il bin duty lo accept an
opportunity of 'prolessional advance
ment offered him in Philadelphia, and
accordingly camo eastward, ultur a
parting like that of donth. They
wort) to correspond with each other
as t!io dearest of friends ; and by this
menus, while tho lawyer was slowly
mating a place fur himself in his dia
ler the dettisnd bad been supplied
there "came "one "application" from
somewhere in Canada," snyjng that tho
wrilor bad soon tho ndvorliHoinent in
an American paper, and nskinp; If the
papers to bo copied could not bo sent
to the applicant by mail, nud then re
turned by her with hor copy f Nio
was a teacher and could not leavo hor
place, but wished to incrcarie her in
come by somo kind of Writing. Thf
lawyer recognized tho old hand which
had been both so kind and so cruel to
hint years boforo j and in return he
merely sent the last letter he hnd over
received from Michignn, with tho in-
crimion. "Cony this 1" As the end of
tho story is already told, according lo
the inartistic fashion of newspaper
romance, it is useless lo dilalo upon
the easily guessed circumstance's lead
ing to it. Of course the Canadian
teacher wroto timidly, again, to ex
press tho happiness she felt in the
prosperity of her former lover, nnd
tho hope she bad that ho might yet
appreciate hor past action. Of course
he wrote again, then, to know why
ho had boon so cruelly abandoned to
himself at last, and of courso there
was an ansver lo that. In short

3ul it now appears by Iho time tables

On laat Thursday, another of those
lurgo sales of imported slock and poul
try look place at the Bazaar of AMred
M. llerknosH, in Philadelphia. From
tho Duylcslo-.vn IntrlUgrneer we clip
the following description of the stock
and the sale : The animals hud been
on exhibition for some days beforo,
and woro visited by many curious
spoclutors. On the day of tho sule
the ultondunco was not as largo
as on ono or two previous occasions
of the kind,' but the central part of
tho arena Was well filled, and many
persons were stationed nround the
galleries above. A platform, on which'
the animals were exhibited, und which
was also occupied by iho auctioneer
and quite a number of visitors und
reporters, wns erected on one side
of tho circle. Mr. Ilurkticss took
prominont position- and announc
ed the conditions of tho salo
ons!) before tho unimals were taken
awtty. The Jersey cows aud heifers
were first brought on tho stand, led
by Joseph Moody, the herdsman who
had accomptuiied them from England.
Tho first animal Set np wns tho Iwo
ycar old heifer "Gloria," which start
ed at 8150 and was knocked off at
8230 to M. U. Brown of Pittsburgh.
The next, also a tivo-ycur hoilor, was
sol i ut 5100 to Mr. Cook, of Foxbor-
QUgh, Massachusetts. These prices
weru a fair index of tho whole. The
third wus sold at 8190 ; iho fourth ut
8270, and her calf, only a fow days
old, at 810; tho fifth at 8100; tho
sixth at 8100; Iho seventh, a bronze
gray heifer, lo calrl in November,
8310; tho eighth, a thrce-ycur old cow,
in the sumo condidlion, $1 10 ; the
ninth ut 8210, to Rokrt II. Sayre, of
Bclhlehcm; the tenth at 81(10; tbo
eleyeuth at 82G0, and her calf at 875;
tho twelfth, a very handsomo three
year old, at 8330 to Mr. Cook, of Mass
achusetts, and the thirteenth, a five
year old cow, at 8270 to iho samo
gentleman. A Jut-toy bull, 18 months
old, was then brought out. Tho bid
ding on him was not very lively, and
he wus struck off ut 3150 lo Mr. Cook,
who was a lurge purchaser. Five
Uuernsey tictlors, enoh two year old,
were then iu succession brought on
llio stage. Tho first st.-ld al $110; the
second al Hull; the third at 8170, and
her cull'ut 05; the fourth, which bud
been sick during the voyage, ut Sua ;
and the fifih at 8130, lo Thottins M.
Harvey, of West Grovo, Chester coun
ty, who is a frequent purchaser of im
ported slock. Two tine Hampshire
Down rums wero sold ut 845 and 830
respectively, to go lo Middlotown, Pa.
Two yearling ewes of the sumo breej
brought 832 und 832.50. Two Cols
wuld rums brought 830 each, und two
owes at 835 each all purcbashed by
Amos K. Kapi, of Northumberland.
There wero cerluinly bargains in these
sheep. A very fine Devon Bull, over
three years old, bred in Ireland by a
gentleman who had secured several
prizes with him, was bought by a
butcher named McFillan, at 8150.
This animal was in very fine condi
tion, and weighed on tho scales 1U10
pounds. lie wus invoicud ut Iho cu
toiu-houno ut 8450 in gold, nnd his
transportation cost a lurgo additional
sum. It wus a shame lo suo this
sjilundid breeding animal struck off to
a butcher at beef price, or less. Four
Welsh ponies wero sold very nice
and graceful aniinuls, but quite unbro
ken. They brought 8145, 8140,8105,
and 8180 respectively. One or two of
thorn woro worth more money, but
the prevalent horse disease doubtless
lessened thoir market vultio. Five
Irios of dark Bruhmn fowls, of premium
strains, wero sold nt prices from 87 to
812 each ; threo trios of buff Cochins
brought 810 each; and ono trio of
Pencilled Ilumburgs brought 815,
Pigeons wero sold at from 83 60 to 88
per pair. The sulo closed by dispos
ing of a dozen or moi o smsll terrier
dogs, which wero arranged on a board
beside the ouclionecr ond excited a
great deal of fun. The first dug of
fered brought 810, but several others
run up to 850 und 855. A puir of bull
terriers brought 8(2.50. Tho duties
of auctioneer wero admirably per
formed by Mr. Ilerkness, w ho worked
hind lo obtain satisfactory prices fur
tho slock. Tho horned cuttle brought
prolly Itiir figures, except iho Devon
bull, which wus certainly sacrilied.
The sheep hold comparatively low;
and tho sumo wus ihe case with sever
ul of the ponies. The fowls nnd dogs

with the idea that happiness was tho
chief end of life, and thut success was,
the test of character. lie taught ihut

and that succoss when il arose from

thai thcro is moro corruption in a free
country than under a despotism. But
in lnl of liberty tho froo press and
publio opinion bring ftl wrongs , to,
light ; so thut they are mure notice
able. When Louis Napoleon was de
throned an awful mass of rotlonuess
was uucuvertd. Corrupt ion under
liberty is more dangerous than under
despotism. " In despolio counlrios in

sad truth, that men can make millions

Another source of decay is in the

cians in despolio governments ; hore
they uro tho mechuiiics uf govern

machinery of government. Then pol
itics becomes a mystery to tho poople,
and thoy are led by tho wire pullers,
and politics becomes Ihe ineanost of

could offer was to induue iho peoplo
lo determine that they would, at all

seek "government by tho bost."
