thefollowing description The copy before us of Mr Good years work upon 11 GumElastic and its Varieties presents at leastsomething unique id the art of book making t is elil lustra tingxinasmuch as treating of India rubber it ft made of India rubber Au unobservant reader however would scarcely suspect the fact before read ing the preface for the Indiarubber covers resemble highly polished eb ony and the leaves have the appear ance of ancient paper worn soft thin and dingy by numberless peru sals The volume contains six huu dred and twenty pages j but it is not as thick as copies ot the same work printed on paper though it is a little heavier ife is evident that the sub stance of which this book iscomposed cannot be Indarubbcr in its natural state Those leaves thinner than paper can bo stretched only by strong pull and resume their shape perfectly when they are let go There is no smell ot indiaruh ber about them We nrst saw tins book in a cold room in January but the leaves were then as flexible us old paper and when since we have handled it in warm weather they had grown no softer Some of our readers may have heard Daniel Webster relate the sto ry of the Indiarubber cloak and hat which one ot his new orfc friends sent him at Marshfield in the infancy of the manufacture He tobkthe cloaic to the piazza one cold moiniug when it instantly became as rigid as sheetiron Finding that it stood alone he placed the hatupon it and left the articles standing near the iront door beverul or his neighbors who passed seeing a dark and portly figure there took it for the lord oi the mansion and gave it respectful salutation The same articles were liable to an objection still more serious In the sun even in cool weather they became sticky while on a hot day they would melt entirely away to the consistency of molasses iijvery one remembers the thick aud illshapeuIndiarubber shoes of twenty years ago which had to be thawed out under the stove before they could be put on and which it left under the stove too long would dissolve into gum that no household art could ever harden again Some decorous gen tlemen among us can also rememoer that in tho nocturnal combats oi their college days a flinty India rubber shoe in cold weather was v missive weapon ol a highly effective character This curious volume therefor cannot be made of the unmanage able stuff which Daniel Webster set up at his front door So much evident at a glance But the book itself tells us that it can besubjected without injury to tests more se vere than summers suu and winters cold It oau be soaked six months in a pail of water and still be as good a book as ever It can be boiled it can be baked in an oven hot enough to bake a turkey it c be soaked in brine lye camphene turpentine or oil it can be dipped into oil of vitriol and still no harm done To crown its merits no rat mouse worm or moth has ever shown the slightest inclination to makeacquaintance with it The office of a Keview is not usually provided with the means of subjecting literature to such critical tests as lye vitriol boilers or hot ovens But we have APRIL 124 1867 seen enough elsewhere of the or deals to which India rubber is now subjected to believe Mr Goudyeurs statements Remote posterity will enjoy the fruit of his labors unless some one takes particular pains to destroy this book tor it seems that time itself produces noeffect upon Indiarubber which bears the famil iar stamp tjooayear s r ateui In the dampest corner of the damp est cellar no mould gathers upon it no decay penetrates it in thehottest garret it never warps or cracks Womanly Devotion A New York paper mentions a touching incident connected with the cases of the besotted Senators Salisbury and McDougallAlluding to Sumners resolution for expel ling the former from the Senate for his beastly drunkenness on its floor it says A dispatch from Washington says that Mrs Saulsbury appealed personally to Senators not to press the resolution expelling herhusband promising to take him home to Delaware1 No man could resist such an appeal It is impossible tu think of such an incident without emotion Mr Saulsbury is a man ol very marked abilities one of the ablest most cogent and effective speakers in the Senate of finepersonal appearance tall erect dark complexion with piercing black eyes and jet black hair courtly andimpressive iu his manner and of noble and generous impulses But for the disease which afflicts andovermasters him he would be one of the most influential public men of the Senate and tho country Yet he i saved from ignominious expulsion only by the sympathy felt for his noble and devoted wife Another Senator whese term has just expired a man of clear intellect finished culture and fascinating manners but cursed by the same affliction was tolerated in the Senate only from a similar motive One of the most touching sights to be seen iu Wash ington during the session was the presence in the gallery of his wife and daughter waiting night after night till long after midnightanxious and distressed to accompany him to their home It may be sai to his credit that whatever he may have been to the rest of the world he was never anything but respect ful obedient and tender to them N Y Times Free Labor Stores weapons with which The weapons with which the friends of freedom fought apiinst slavery arc one by one being laid aside The earliest enemies whom slavery found in America were mem hers of the Society ot Friends in Phil adelphia These people whose con sciences were quickened to such an extent that they would neither touch taste nor handle anything upon which slavery had spread it mildew years ago eschewed in their household consumption the use ol whatever was produced by unre quited toil They would buy no thing however great tlieir necessity which was moistened with the sweat or servile labor bo numerous were they and so persistent that Friend George W Taylor long years gone by took a store at r iith and Cherrv streets and undertook to supply what could not otherwise be easily obtained the usual products ol slave labor produced by freemen Mr Taylor retired from business less than ten days ago and the rem iniscence is suggested by seeinj yes erday upon his property the pla rd 1 hese premises tor sale He was not the originator of tho plan but he was the only person who cir ried it to a successful accomplish ment In order that he might sup ply muslins and cotton goods ofmaterial grown and made by free labor he secured a mill and manufactured nearly every yard of goods that he sold The cotton that he spun was of course from the slav States but it was bought for him by Quaker gonts equally conscientious with himself who bought it from people haviog small properties in the South and too poor to own the labor they employed There was no money made in the enterprise none was expected to be made The store was like a coun try store where everything is kept from a needle to an anchor The opponents of slavery patronized it ibr nothing it is believed that was made by slave toil was ever sol J across its counter To find sugar raised by free labor was difficult butGeorge W Taylor rarelyran outoi a supply To get it from Cuba was impossible Porto Rico is a slave island and so is Martinique There was morOdifficulty in the way of getting freela bur made sugar than in procuring cotton That which Friend Taylor sold was bought as he bought his cotton from people vvhuse povery il nut their will prevented tlietn Irom the ownership ot human flesh fciut this is now gone forever The free produce store is of course closed It was not opened for a money making purpose nor was the mill in which Friend Taylor made his muslins drills and the like estab lished with any view to lucre The patrons of the store were ot that class of people who hating nobody were vet rcadv to show their aversion tu human bondage by refusing in any way to contribute to the prosperity or even support of those whopractised it Thcr work is now done their reward is gained and the shut ters of the Friends free produce store closed forever Phil Ga zelle Reverend Fugitives from Labor I regret to say that nearly two thirds of the clergy of New York arc hist now suffering from severe attacks of sore throat or bronchial affections for which the doctors say there is no remedy save in a voyage across the Atlantic and a sojourn of a week or two at the Paris Exposition The sermons of late have been very dreary owing to this state of things and I suppose there is no remedy for it bnt that they should all go leaving us miserable sinners to look after ourselves here at home during the hot weather as best we may The Cuuard steamer that sail ed today had no fewer than six of these sorethroated geutlemen on board while by the packets to sail next Saturday I am informed that double that number will go We do not read that Paul or Peter orAndrew or James or John or any of the rest of the apostles were trou bled with bronchial affections in the spring ot the year luey aid a good deal of traveling to be sure but it wasn t to see worlds fairs and the expenses were usually defrryed by themselves New York Letter Pioneering in Illinois We reached Springfield at last said Mr Hcrndon and a most un likely place it was We had to build our log cabin ou the edge of a ridge while we labored to subdue the muck The marks of bears claws were deep in the trees right round us Ten years later I have killed a huudred snakes in thethreequarters of a mile between my house and my fathers so you may guess what it was then At nightfall we laid green logs in parallel rows set them on fire and drove the cattle between fhen whichever way the wind blew wa could keep off the mosquitoes and relieve tho creatures The dumb beasts knew what it meant and we never had to drive them igain They went in of themselves Words cannot make you understand this life The prairies ot Illinois are watered with the tears andenriched by the graves of her women fhe first generation have you any dim glimmering sense of what men they must have beea who turned this sea into dry land the first generation lived on mush and pork Fencing was too costly to beobtained No gardens could stand the herds of cattle a thousand strong which might come swooping over at uiy minute Just as our corn was ripe the bears would strip the ears j just as the pumpkins grew golden lierds of deer would hollow out the gourds As we got more laud there was no transportation to carry awy the crops Butter was five cents a pound eggs three cents a dozen corn was six cents a bushel wheat twentyfive cents A cow was worth hive dollars and a mans labor i fifty cents a day Do you wonder that ve clamored for railroads lied for them went in debt for them did anything till we got them I rememberod the thronging lines of railroad that I had often seensteering to some tiny depot iu the vast prairie and saw afresh that these lines were built for freight nottravel The latter was an accidenthappy or unhappy could not exhaust tLself on the soil No social excitement no lecture theater book or friendly talkoffered itself to the tired laborer when he came home at night To drink to indulge his passions was the only change life offered him For the w men God forgive the men who brought them here if they sought stimulants or anodynes how could they be to blame And Dr IT o 1 land said that the pioneers were an inefficient set who wandered from Hate to State from pureshiftlesaucss I tell you that since the days ol the Anakim God never made such men as tho men who redeemed the State of Illinois Whatever else you do dont call us shiftless Atlantic Monthly for April Cicero Xantippe and Betsy Ann We fell in during a chancejourney

told us was the humhest one ot the lot and sure enough he was a shaggylook soeeiman These were the boys The girls came in with such names Aspasia rhryuc iuelpomcne Xantippe Messalina Cleopatra Ag grippina and the last one was named Ueusy Anu We asked the old man how he happened to give his chil dren such unusual names andindeed we were astonished at the ex tent ot what seemed fo be his classi cal learning He informed us thai it happened liko this A showman u tuie aloug with wax ugures un ex hibition and tho names of theluurcs were so nice that he writ them down and named his children according to the list afterward But how came it we inquired that yuu named one of your girls Betsy Anu Well he replied the waxfiggcrs run out and I had to fall back and do the best I could out of my own head Ilurraw for Varniount Grass Valley National Loafers Loafers arc an institution to be found in all localities and many are the expedients devised to get rid of them bur the following clippiug from the Indianapolis Herald is the sharpest we have heard of One of our business men who is much troubled by loafers who are in the habit of gathering upon andtilling up the side walk in front of his roums hit the other day upon a happy expedient to abate the nui 8200 PER ANNUA sacce He painted the wordloafers upon a board in largo letters and suspended it above his window in such a manner that he could keep it out of sight when not needed or lower it to about the bight of a mans head when it was necessarySeveral times during the day did the crowd become dense on the corner referred to and on each occasion the sign was let down above their heads and discovered by somemember of the party or through theremarks of passers by aud the scene that would ensue was really amusing to a disinterested spectator It was probably the first time that these men have felt ashamed ofthemselves for many a day How Connecticut was Carried The N Y Evening Gazettepublishes a letter from Meridcn Conn written after the recent election which asserts The election was not fiuallycarried by principle nor by personal animosity nor yet by prejudice but by au influence infinitely baser than either greenbacks in the itching palm of her citizens I do not mean that the Democrats bribed voters aud that Republicans insuperior holiness desisted Would that one party could be excepted from such debauchery 1 But both were involved Each party bought all flie votes it had the money to pay ibr Republicans only insisting tlwt they could buy a greaternumber of men from the enemy for a given sum than the Democrats could buy from them which wasprobable enough Never before since the charter dys were the citizens of Connecticut bought and sold so shamelessly in open market At every ballotbox citizens postponed voting till the last moment and then ave their ballot to the highest bid der Voted yet would be asked of all these dilatory traders No haven t quite decided which way to vote Times most up come in here and let me argue with you and the two would go off tonegotiate Ten dollars a vote was offered the day before by Republicans and S20 by Democrats aud the tar ffincreased during election day at the iime ratio until in the atteruoon oue of Wm II Barnums agents of fered 150 for a single Republican vote in Winstedaud got itTaking into consideration the fact that the Democrats had teu times the must money employed the result of ihts bad business should have been ascertained as surely the daybefore by mathematics as the day af ter by counting Only one of the Republican candidates P T Bar nuui had money tho othersHawley Doming Starkweather and Northrop were unable to giveanything to the canvass except work The Democrats on the contrary had taken care to nominate their very wealthiest men without tuo much reference to other qualifica tions Mr English was worth million and Win II Barnum and Hotchkiss a million and a half morc Hubbard and Martin were worth three or four hundred thousand each Uould the result be very doubtful when it was advertised iu advance that these gentlemen meant to spend as much money as was necessary to carry the State and when all corrupt men and allindifferent men and all avaricious men were set on the qui vive by such au announcement The onlyreconstruction settled by this desperate scramble for power was thereconstruction of collapsed wallets the only financial question was thequestion of persuual finances which would not bear close scrutiny Never be an OfficeSeeker Parents in moderatecircumstances or even in prosperous business who refuse or neglect to give their sons trades doom the most of them to a life of dependence A reliance upon clerkship at the bost isprecarious Still more precarious is the life which so many live ofdependence upon office Thiswhether seekers of high or low office is the last fate to which a thoughtful parent should subject a son But generally the worst thing that can happen to this class is success Once bitten with a taste of office all legitimate occupations become irksome The man old or young who gets into office and as auinevitable corollary gets out is unfitted for other life It is rare indeed that a man who has been a few years in office ever settles or evenendeavors to settle down tu labor It is painful beyond expression to see the miserable battallions of idle men who
