Here are four messengers within four months

whether as many were sent out during the prece-

binary occasions. is there the least necessity for
sending special messengers at all, the packets and

Many have heard of the brillian, stlsco

improvements learned by experiments
Take half a bushel Of nice unsl,cL.d

three pounds of ground rice, boiled to a
INN paste, and stirred in boiling hot, half
pound oil powerful Spanish whiting, and
a pound OF clean glue, which has been
previously dissolved by first soaking i,
well, and then hanging it over a slow fire.
IN small kettle within large one filled
with water. Add five gallons of hot water
to the whole mixture stir it well and let
II stand few days covered from dirt. It
should be put on quite hot for this pur-
pose 1t can be kept in kettle on por-
table furnace. 1t is said that one pint of
this mixture will cover square yard on
the outside Of a house, properly applied.

retains its brilancy for many years.
There is nothing of the kind that will
compare with it, either for inside or out
side walls. Coloring matter may be pu,
in, and made OF any shade you like. Spa
nish brown stirred in will make red or
pink more or less deep, according to the
quantity. a delicate tinge of this is very
pretty for inside walls. Finely pulverlz-
ed common clay, well mixed with the Spa
nIsh brown before il is stirred into the mix
ture, makes lilac color. Lamp-black
and Spanish brown mixed together, pro-
duce Il reddish stone color. Yellow ochre
stirred in makes a yellow wash {: but
chrome goes further and makes color
generally esteemed pretlier. In all these
cases, the darkness of the shade will of
course be determined by the quantity of
co!orlng matter used. Ii is difficult TO
make a rule, because tastes are very dii-
ierent; i. would be best to try experiments
on a single, and let II dry. ! have been
told that green must not be mixed with
lime. The lime destroys the color, and
the color has an effect upon the white
wash, which makes il crack and peel.
When walls have been badly smoked,
and you wish to have them a clean white,
it is well TO squeeze indigo p|cntilully
through bag into the water you use, be-
fore it is stirred IN the wole mixture.
If a larger quantity than five gallons
is wanted the same proportions should be
observed.

NelU York HaaH.-Thc establishment Of the
New York Herald, including its appuhenances
as now organized, is offered for sale. Bennett
says his intention in retiring from the Herald is
"io proceed to London, as soon as practicable, and
to establish in that capital daily aud weekly
newspaper, for the purpose of defending, explain
ing and exhibiting to Europe the Institutions,
laws morals, resources, movements, and tendcn-
cies Of all the United States, which are now sub
Iect, from imperfect knowledge and strong preju-
dices, to misrepresentation and ialsehood Of all
kinds and from all quarters" He also intends to
establish a branch newspaper in French and Eng
fish, in Paris, to effect similar purpose on the
Continent.
There is, beyond doubt, not a more profitable
newspaper establishment in the country than is
that of the Herald; but to make it profitable in
vcstment to its purchasers, they must conduct it
with something like the same tact and talent that
Is displayed by its present conductor, which, We
take it, will be matter Of no small difficulty.
