Preservation of Leather.
A contributor to the Shoe and Leather
He, ot ter gives sonic valuable hints iu rela
tion to the preservation of leather. The
extreme heat to which most men aud wo
man expose boots and shoes during winter,
deprives leather of its vitality, rendering if
liable to break aud crack. Fatent leuther,
particularly, is often destroyed in this man
nor. When leather becomes so warm ns
to give off tlu smell of leather it is s'nged
Next to the singing caused by fire heat, is
the beat and dampness caused by the eov.
erinjj of India-rubber. India rubber shoes
destroy the life of leather. The practice
of washing harness in warm water and soap
is very damaging. It a coat oT oil is put
on immediately after washing the damage
is repaired. No harness is ever so soiled
Jhat a damp sponge will not remove the
dirt j but, eveu when the sponge is opplicd,
it is useful to add a slight coat of oil by the
use of tnottier sponge. All varnishc.". and
el! blacking containing the pronrietiot o'
varnish should be avoided. Ignorant aud
indolent hostlers are apt to use such sub
stances on their harness as will give the
most immediate eflect, and thcset as a gen.
eral thing, are most destructive to the
leather. When harness loses its lustre and
turns brown, which almost all leather will
do after long exposure to the air, the har
ness should be given a new ccat of grain
black. JJefore using this grain black, the
grain surface should be thoroughly washed
with potash water until all the grease is
killed, and after the application of the
grain black, oil and tallow should be ap.
plied to the tiurface. This will not only
" fasten " the color, but make the leather
flexible. Harness which is grained cau be
cleaned with kerosene or spirits of turpe.
tine, and no harm will result if tho parts
affected are wished and oiled immediately
afterward Shoe leather is generally
abused. Persons know nothiug or care less
about the polish produced. Vitriol black.
5n" is used until every particle ot the oil in
the leather is destroyed. To remedy this
abuse.the leather should be washed ouce a
' month with warm water, and when about
half dry, a coat of oil and tallow should bo
applied, and the boots set aside for a day
or two. This will renew the elasticity and
life in the leather, and when thua used op
per leather will seldom crack or breuic.
When oil is applied to belting dry, it does
not spread uniformly, and does not incorpo
rate itself with tho fiber as when paitly
damped with water. Tie best way to oil
t belt is to take it from the pulleys and iai.
meroe it in a warm solution ot tallow and
oil. After allowing it to remain a few mo
ments the belt should be immerced in water
heated to one hundred degrees, and in
stantly removed. This will diive the oil
aad tallow all in, and at the same time
properly temper the leather.

Thus the Entendard in commenting on the
late election, after stating that the triumph
of the Republican parfy is a continuation
of the victory over rebels, gravely asserts
that General Grant has a difficult mission,
as " He will find it neccscary to oppose
Congress." Tho Entendard probably
takes the present Administration as a pre
cedent for all future ones. The idea of
Grant and Congress being oppoicd to each
other, and Congress lending all its aid to
secure the election of Grant, is a rich one,
doubtless based on the prevailing European
opinion that a Republican form of govern
ment necessarily iuduces strife between its
co.ordinate branches.
INSiNIfY.
A striking case ot insanity is thus re
latcd by Dr. Winslow :
" A young gentleman having ' 10,000,
undisposed of and unemployed, placed it
for business purposes in the hands of his
confidentianl brother. This sum he in.
vested in a stock that had an unexpected,
sudden, and enormous rise in value. In a
fortunate moment he sold out, and the 10,
000 realized jCGS.OOO. An account of tho
successful monetary speculation was trans'
milled to the lucky owner ot this large sum.
1 he startling intelligence produced a se
vere shock to the nervous system, and the
mind lost its equilibrium. The poor fel
low continued in a state of mental aliena
tion for the remainder of his life. His
constant occupation until tho day of his
death was playing with his fingers, and con
tinually repeating without intermission ,and
v'th great animation and rapidity,- the
woraV- " Sixty thousand ! sixty thousand !
sixty 'thousand ! "
Insanity may manifest itself by great
extravagence as well as by meanness1 A
medical acquintance relates that, during tho
heighth of the petroleum excitemeut he
was eousulted by a gentleman who, by for
tunate speculation, had suddenly become a
millionaire. The first time he tame he
handed the doctor a fifty-dollar bill, saving
as he did bo, " Your fee, doctor 1 prefer lo
pay as I go." Nothing was thought of
this, for it was precisely what any grateful
and free-hearted patient might do ; but on
the next visit, which was but two or three
days afterward, he again handed the doctor
a fifty dollar bill, with the same remark as
before. His disease was of a cbroiio na
ture, and demanded a protracted coursa of
treatment. He visited the doctor at his
office several times a week for a number of
months, and eaeh time offering a fifty,
dollar bill. The doctor was afterwards in
formed that he became so reckless in his
expenditures that it was necessary for his
wife or some friend to travel with him, in
order to keep him from throwing his money
away. He would throw a ten dollar bill to
the porter who carried his trunk up stairs,
or to tho boy who blaokened his boots. A
year's travel iu Europe ultimately restored
him to a measure of health, aud, at lost ac
counts, he was fully capable of managing

A Great Evil.
Onr race groans under evils, and carries
burdens heavy to bo borne ; some of these
may be traced back to the first sin and are
beyond our control, but most of them aro
of our own producing, and may be arrested
by a resolute aot of the will, or by aids
which come from other sources.
Two evils no.w fill the land and world
which are of human invention, and aro
sustained by human authority. One of
these is alcoholic drinks and the other is
tobacco of the latter wo wish to say a
few words.
This has grown and overspread the na
tion: of the earth till now it challenges ob
eervation, retitPtion, nnd tho exercise of
enlightened conscience, while looking the
facts in the face.' Such is its present' ex
tent, that five and a half millions of acres
an occupied in its growth, producing two
millions of tons annually and aostiug the
human race ten thousand millions of dol
lars, by far more than enongh to pay the
whele debt, in one year, of the United
States and Great Britain, startling as the
fact may seem. In our own country alone,
one hundred tnd fifty millions ar6 expen
ded annually in its consumption, by far
more than is appropriated to support the
gospel of Christ and the cause of educa
tion. How appalling such a state cf
things, while want ocd suffering are all
around us ! Multitudes ore without the
Bible, millions have never heard the name
of Christ, aud the most important enter
prises for promoting the welfare of man
kind, falter and tail for the want of sup
port. Yet this enormous expenditure Is entire,
ly useless. No one claims that he is the
better for tho use of tobacco in any form.
It is a mere habit, innocently formed, and
while at Erst a pleasure has; grown to be a
master and a tyrant.
Not only this, but it is an offensive, filthy
habit, finding uo place in the church, in
the parlor, the ladies' saloon, or elsewhere,
as a high order of society meets ind in
dulges in exercises which the higher na
ture craves.
Multitudes, using it, are ashamed of the
fruits ot it, and would be glad": to be rid of it
if they knew how to break away from the
enchautmont. But this is cot all, or even
the worst of it. It is injurious to health ;
when taken to excess operates as of a
poisonous nature, weakening; the system,
and loading to pcrmature dca.th.
Such evils, together with its enormous
expenditure, ought to make sober, reflect
ing conscientious mon consider whether it
can be right to continue such a habit as
this ought it not to be overco me at all ha
zards, aud thus promote hcalt h and clean,
liness, and save the funds thus uselessly
spent to provide for personal and family
wants and build up the cause of- truth and
righteousness in tho world. Exchange.
The Loat Pooket-Bock.
Several years ago a gcntlem in residing
in Courtluud street went out carl o one moru.
ias for a walk, and to get the breeze fro'ii
the river.
When near Greenwich street he saw a
pocket book on the sidewalk, mid of course
picked it up.
No ouc was near ot whom he could
make inquiry, so he put it in his pocket,
and on reaching hume showed it to his wife,
wb.i, on examining the outside, said,
" Tins belongs to tome poor iroman, who
is a nice body, I know, by tho way she has
tied it up, so neat and so careful. What
is in it?" I don't kno'.r," said he.
' Well, then, let us sec," said she,
" whether it be a prize or not."
On opening it they found $45 in bills
and two quarters, neatly rolled up and tied
with a thread, also a thimble, a bodkin,
aud a pair of scissors. There, did I not
tell you it ffoa a woman's pocket-book !"'
said she ; " now this must bt advertised ;
the owner can call aud describe everything
in it and she must and shall gi it it."
So an advertisement was put in the
evening paper. The next morning early
a lady called in commendable distress hav
ing lost her pockct.book. When asked
to describe it she gave a description of one
so differeut that she was promptly told
that this pocket-book was not bers. The
next one could not describe bers, but she
would know it if 6he saw it, and didu't
want any unless it was her own. She was
shown an old one lying in tho drawer,
which, after looking at it all around, she
returned ith a smile, saving, " that is not
mine." Soon after another lady " called
and described this last pocket-book to a
dot ; when told she had not lost the pocket
book found and advertised she left. In the
afternoon she called again with a gentle
man and another lady, and made formal de
mand lor the waif, and was again refused.
The gentleman then spoke up, anoouncing
himself as a lawycr and counsel for the
lady, and demanded the pocket-book with
much fervor, and prou)i&inr the fall ex
tent of legal punishment if denied.
The finder rang the bell, and his man
Sam came bowing into the room to ceo
what was wanted.
Instead of directing him to hand around
the wine (which was the fashion in those
days) he was ordered to show that law
yer, who is not a gentleman, to the front
Jjor, and off the front stoop, and if he
don't go quickly, Sam, kick him out." Tho
party lett, swearing vengeance. Juus it
went for two whole days ; it got to be a
neighborhood talk, and many called in to
see the fun.
Early the third mcrning a middle-aged
woman was seen in front of fhe house ex
amining it, also a slip of paper which she
held in ber band. " AU I here is your
woman," says the lady. " Sam open the
doer."
She came in, presented tho advertise
ment, and said, " I lost my pouket-look
the other morning, containing the quarter's
rent 845,50, that I was going to pay to
my landlord in Greenwich street ; I had
been to the market, and when I got to the
place where I had to pay I found I bad
lost it, aid I don't know what I shall do if'
this that you have found is not mine."
" But it is yours," says the lady, " and you
arc tue oaiyone that bus described it out of
the dozens that have called, and you are
welcome to it." The wjman was much
rejoiced and wanted to pay the exponse of
advertising. " No," said the lady1" we have
had more than that worth of fun, besides
finding out a little more of human nature
than we knew before." New York 6Yi
