The mode in which India rubber, or gum
rdmes nro manufactured at Pur, in Hrazil llie
place from which, wc believe, thry nro obtained
exclusively is (litis described in letter to the
N. Y. .liMirnnl of Commerce from nu Auieiicnn
citiaen who visited the interior where the ope
ration is carried on ;
"We found Sohnor Augehra's fini!y, like
himself, very hospitable nnd very talkative. Af
t r dinner we were shown over Ihe place, ami
enterm? the neighboring forest, were shown
the canulrhonc tree. Thry crow, in general,
to the height of forty or fifty feet without branch
es, then branching, run up fifteen feet liiylmr.
The leaf is about six inches long thin, anil
shaped like that of a peach tree. Tim tiers
shew their working by the number of knot, or
hunches made by tapping ; and a singular fnrl
is, that like a row, when most tupped, they give
most milk or snp.
An the time of operating is early day, we
were obliged to content ourselves ivi'h viewing
the utensils and moulds used by the shoemakers,
awaiting until next morning to sec the moil us
opera n li. Accordingly before sunrise, we
were on hand. The blacks are ti ret sent thro'
the forei-t, armed with a quantity of soft, clay,
and a small pickaxe. On earning to one of the
trues, a portion of the soil clay is formed into
n cup nnd r.tuck to the trunk. The black then
striking Ins piek over the cup, the sap oozes
out slowly a tree giving daily about a gill.
The tapper continue in this way, tapping per
haps fifty trees, when lie returns, n nil with a jar
p-iss-ug over the same ground, empties his cups.
So by seven o'clock the blacks came in with
their jars, ready for working.
The sap at this singe resembles milk in ap
pearance, and somewhat in taste. It is also
frequently drunk with perfect safety. It left
standing now, it will curdle like milk, disen
gaging a watery substance like whey.
Shoemakers now arrange themselves to form j
the gum. Seated in the shade, with a largo pan I
of milk on one side, and on the other a logon, in ;
which is burned a nut peculiar to this country,
rmitinjja dense smoke, the operator lnv:ng his
list, or form, held by a long stick or handle,
previously besmeared with soil clay, (in older
t. slipolV the shoe when finished.) holds jtoier
the pan, and pouring on the milk until it is co
vered, sets the coating in the smukc ; then
giving it a second eont, repents the smoking ;
and so on with a third and fourth, until the shoe
is of the requiied thickness, averaging from
six to twelve Coats. When finished, the shoes
on the forms are placed in the sun tl.o remain
der of the day, to dry. Next day, if required,
they may lie figured, being so soft that any im
pression will be indelibly received. The na
tives arc very dexterous in this work. With a
quill mid sharp pointed stick, they will produce
finely lined leaves and flowers, such as yen may
have seen on the shoes, in an incredible abort
space of time. After remaining on the forms
two or three days, the shoes are cut open on t"ii,
allowing the lust to slip out. They are then
tied together and slung on poles, ready tor i :i r
ket. There, pedlars nnd Jews trade fur tie in
with the country people ; and in lots of a thou
sand or more, they are again sold to the mer
chants, who have them stuffed with straw, mid

of Shiuik. The Faston Sentinel, alone, recom

his unanimous nomination and triumphant elec

acknowledge that Slum k is too much for the

The following papers have declared in favor
of Shiuik :
The pemocratie Press, the JefTeison Democrat,
and Reading Adler, of l'ei ks ; the Spirit of the

ber of this, (the 13th district.) whoever he may
be, must go in for it. In less than another year
there will be a quarrel about the disposal of the
surplus revenue, and in the meantime our go
vernment officials, in their wisdom, are break
ing down one of their own departments, by keep
ing up an odious and oppressive tax. in the shape
of postage. We say, make a uniform rate of
postage of five cents, throughout the Union, on
single letters, and even if some of the surplus re
venue should be used for a few years, i'. could not
be devoted to a better purpose. Forthe whole
community would be benefitted, instead of its
being squandered on swindlers and defaulters. It
would not only confer a great blessing on the
people generally, and the poor in particular, but
would, in time, repay all the expenses incurred.
