To C. e. Detmold President N. J. Zinc Co., ~ X
h SIN: A series Of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
.tions for the preservation of timber have led me
TO the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages ofthe marine worm and the formation of
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation of
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject 10 the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries Of specimens of wood anC metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations and then exposed alike for an entire
season. in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority Of
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds OF
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. l am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

Mr.. FAULKNER. wish to ask the gentleman
from Michigan if be has any local or personal
interest in the matter!
Mr.. STEVENS. l have none in the world, ex-
cept that the road connects the waters of the
Mississippi with the waters of Lake Superior by

affect that general purpose at all.

my State it benefits great many other States
The alteration which has been made in this
case, US l understand it. simply gives to the
companies which are now organized, but were
not organized at the time this bill passed, all
opportunity to compete in the Legislature for a
portion Of this land. That is all the difference
which the change makes.

How TO KEEP GATHERED FRUIT AND Flowers
ALWAYS FREsH.-A friend has just informed us
that fruit and flowers may be preserved from
decay and fading. by immersing them in a solu-
ton of gumarabic in water two or three times.
waiting sufficient time between each INNER.
sion to allow the gum todry. This process CO.
vers the surface of the fruit with thin coating
of the gum, which is entirely impervious to the
air. and thus prevents the decay of the fruit. or
the whitening of the flower. Our friend has
roses thus preserved which have all the beauty
and fragrance of freshly plucked ones, though
they have been separated from the parent stem
since June last. To insure success in expert.
ments of this kind, it should be borne in mind
that the whole surface must be completely CO.
vered for if the air only gains entrance at a
pin-hole, the labor will be all lost. In prescrv-
ing specimens of fruit, particular care should
be taken to cover the stem. end and all, with
the gum A good way is to wind thread Of
silk about the stem. and then sink it slowly in
the solution. which should not be so strong as
to leave particle of the gum undissolved. The
gum is so perfectly transparent. that you can
with difficulty detect its presence, except by
the touch. Here we have another simple me-
thod Of fxiag the fleeing beauty of nature. and
surrounding ourselves ever with those objects
which do most elevate the mind, refine the
taste, and purify the heart.-Country Gen

The SPIRIT OF AMERICAN COAMERCE.-The
world has never yet bebeld anything so i'd
venturous as the spirit Of American commerce.
To watch it is to witness some Of the finest TO
mances of our time. 1t is the great Asiatic
continent that is yet to be made the scene Of
some Of its finest achievements. We have done
something in that quarter ofthe world already.
1t was an American who first thought Of carry
ing ice to India. Instead Of going out in bal
last, as was often done then, with dollars to buy
some oriental cargo to exchange from place to
place. coming home with something very rich
indeed, he took out cargo of ice from a Mas
sachusetts pond. A fourth Of the ice cargo
melted while the people Of Calcutta were learn
ing what it meant, and the rest sold for six
cents a pound. The next voyage the buyers
were prompt enough; the price was nearly
doubled and yet the ice had no time to melt !;
and ever since ice has become regular Indian
import from America. $4,000 miles away. 1t
WAS all American who first saw the beauty of
Manila hemp, though Englshmen had been
passing it for years. The American carried
home a few bales and in ten years. the impOrta-
ton rose to twenty thousand bales. Already is
Persia consulting Kandahar about clearing the
way for Americans and their goods into the
heart of the country and already are the :" do
mestics" woven by the Lowell girls, who build
churches and lyceums and get philosophers and
scholars to lecture to them. Already are these
stout Lowell fabrics become familiar articles Of
and 'barter to the mountain tribes of Asia, who
have any raw material or merchantable thing
wherewith to pay. The influence which Anne
RIGA, the youngest birth of time, is destined to
exert, through her commerce, upon that mighty
continent where the first man saw the light,
who shall attempt to measure !-.Netc York
