Gen Longstreet says in his letter: ''There is not one word of truth in tlie assertions contained in the article. Ile.d there been, it is hardly possible that suck, could escape notice for so many years Union people within our lines w ere uude the same orders and treatment a. were the Confederates. Unionists whi w ished to go North had safe conducts, and when they asked for escorts were sent out under military protection. There was no case of small-pox in the command during the winter, so far as I now re member, and the Confederate inspect ing surgeou reported to me that tlaV. army was healthier than any other of the Confederates."

Curiorn Dotal U of the Fnrrierm Best ne.-is Cheap and Coctlj fikJct -MnfTor ;i ask rat and Ermine. At last one thousand men aod wocnti in New York are busid in making far gar ments. There tre factories employing many sron-sof workmen, and there are din gy little shop where a few journeymea work together, with mall capital. low rent and incxlcrate profits. In tixu particuUr shop there are only lour men at work just the number required to complete a garment under the division of labor usual in tha fur business. One man stands at the counter with a pile of mu&krmtkins at bis left hnnd, and in bis right a keen littla knife; !iapeti almost exactly like the out stretched wing of a bird. The skin of the funrhas bem dampened m that it is pliant. The cutter, as he is called, seizes a skih. turns the fur down arid rapidly cuts out defects with his bird's-wing knife. Scarcely t.ne skin in a hundred is per fect. There are hot holes, scars from bites and scratches, tears, and other dam age, the rsult of careless curing. By. the time all defects have born cut out it" may have been necessary to divide the skin into twenty strips and squares. About twenty percent, of the fur is lost by the process of cutting; though the smallest pieces, even those not more than, an inch square, arc carefully saved, so long as they are well covered with hair. As the knife slips through the leather you notice that the under side of tha fur is a rich, golden brown, while the outer surface is a black. The fur hat been dyed, but the dye has not penetra ted to the skin. The dyeing ana curing, arc done elsewhere at factories which re- ceive the raw skins by the thousand from! the West and South. They come turned' wroDg side out and looking like Cftst, Japanese slippers from having beea: stretched and dried by the trapper oai pointed shingles. ' 1 From thq cutter's tabic the skim go tdj the sewer. He sits In a corner and! works- a strong sewing machine, whose, needle Is easily driven through the tkia. , Ordinary stout thread is used, and the sewer manages to piece together the Tarl. ous scraps in such a way that no seam' shows on the hairy side. The seams on: tlie underside appear like straight ridges ; or. cords. The skin comes from the: sewer a patchwork of leather almost as 1 strongly held together as an uncut pelt. . From the sewer the material goes to the blocker. In this instance it is a' muff tliat they areJmaking. The ""block" ; is in seven pieces that fit together and " form ar implement that looks almost ex actly like a big wheel hub. The skin, which has been sewn end to end so as to form a hollow cylinder, is placed on the1 block form. It extends a little beyond the block, andv a little wooden disk is placed in each end of the latter. To these disks the ends of the skin are nailed, and the whole thing is then placed in the window to dry. When the skin is parti dried it is re-. moved from the block and turned over to the lk i-hcr. He puts in wadding; and lining and sews on the cord and tas sels, U the muff is to be thus orna mented. FinHly i the fur is carefully brushed until it is smooth and glossy. Then it is put into a round pasteboard, box; ready to be shipped to the merchant ' through whom it is distributed to the , retail dealers Her' and eLsewhefe. Four men working together thus ten hours a day can make three dozen muffs. Cutters earn from $15 to $18 a week aad blockers and finishers frorn $10 to $12 a; week. Women are sometimes employed as finishers. at abotj t the same, wages. The; busy senson islfrom June to December.; September'; Ucio!tr and November are, perhaps the most active months' of the; reason, in the spring and winter busi-1 ness is dull, rind the few men employed are at work uion inferior material, which' cannot be worked profitably in the busy Kcasna. Fahion in furs changes ljghtly from year to year, and the growing taste for; umuior fur- now has to 1 taken into; aecount. Boas, raj and muffs are now beinsr made for next winter. Thechesp- e-t and most abundant kin i that of the liar-; the costliest are those of the beaver, j Teliae, m-si. oiar.n iox aai ei iuiuk. iik f . : r.-. l.isl named m extremelv rare.

Pretty U-as arc made of! ti.e -hnre skin and ctr capes of the iyux. satde aud beaver fur. Some of the, costliest fur are imported but the great t ma- ol fur garmenu are made from tta- tire tkins. Fort igacr liave t-een pioneers in the. 'fdiicy fur business of New York, and th-re are still many Frenchmen, Gmnans and Italians employed in the work ; but native Americans are taking to the trade: more and more.
