Uncle Charles was on top of an omni¬ 
bus the other day going up Broadway. At 
its intersection with Broome street he saw a 
crowd listening to a man with a most sin¬ 
gular cap oil his head; and he had a hoy 
standing beside him, to whom the attention 
of the crowd seemed to he directed. 1 hob¬

the crowd which throng Broadway, and 
Where there Is good air, and always where I 
can sec the horses and talk with the driver 
about, them; lor you must, know that the 
driver is the only social being on or in an 
omnibus, unless you have a friend with you to 
whom to talk. And it always puts me out 
of sorts to sit stiffly in an omnibus with a 
dozen men and women whom I would be 
glad to know something about, and com¬ 
pelled lo keep my garrulous tongue still.

LETTERS FROM BOYS 
^"Auawer in two weeks, 
Reply lo Oi'in Stoughton, Tunning Wood¬ 
chuck Stilus. 
Your practice of trapping the wood¬ 
chuck with mnall steel traps I think is the 
beat way. Traps cost IVom 50 to CO cents 
apiece. A woodchuck skin whip-lash, well 
tanned and braided, is superior to any other 
kind, not excepting buckskin ; they are very 
tough atld durable—are worth neatly twice 
as much in market. 
About baking and eating woodchucks, I 
feel about, the same as the old man did who 
said, “ 1 can cat crow, hut 1-1-I-don’t 
hanker arter it.” 
Last winter, while camping in the woods 
hunting deer, &c., we used to cat a baked or 
roasted coon once in a while; Imt like the 
old man, I don’t hanker after that., even. 
Well, now for the tanning:—My way is 
simply to take the hide, pour warm water 
on the hair side, soak it thoroughly, then 
sift fine unlcached wood ashes all through 
the hair; roll tight together, cover with dry 
ashes, and lay away in tho cellar for three 
or four days, or until the hair will slip free; 
then take a log about one foot in diameter, 
shave the bark off, make it smooth, lay your 
skin on hair side up; take a drawing knife 
and with the hack push the hair off clean; 
turn over and take the flesh off in same 
way; then put it in soft soap—if strong it will 
tan in three or four day*. Watch it, that it 
does not remain in the soap too long, for it 
will cat it. Take it out of the soap, rinse 
clean. It will thicken np, or full to about 
three times its natural thickness. Take it 
in the sun, or by a hot stove, and patiently j 
pull and work it, until dry, which will take 
an hour, more or less. Wheat bran, dry, 
rubbed on it occasionally will aid it much
