RECOMMENDATIONS.

U. .. NAVY YARD, SosPoRT, VA,
To C. E. Demold, President ~ J. Zinc Co, ~ T..
SIR 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 perfect protection against the
ravages of the 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 to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington and shall send with it a complete Sc
res of specimens of wood and 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
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. am, respectfully, your ebedient servant,

quentIy been carried. Professor Gutenberg,
gentleman whose explorations into the
mysteries OF microscopic life have attained
for him high position among the scientific
men Of the age, says that this peat, at the
depth of fifty feet, swarms with nfusorial
life; that countless myriads OF microscopic
animals live there and wriggle and die.
The perpetual motion of these little animals
causes the whole mass of peaty matter TO be
in state of constant though generally I'M
perceptible movement. In Berlin the
houses, however, ars wont to crack and
yawn sometimes, in an exceedingly cartons
manner, even though built on apparently
stable foundations; and Professor Ehrenberg
believes this to be owing to the changes and
motions OF this invisible world-to the COM

Exaggeration of Spanish Manners.

The Spanish receive credit for being very
bospitable people, and to certain extent this
is due to them but the stranger soon learns tc
regard the eXtravagant manifestations which
toe often characterize their etiquette as quite
empty and heart!ess. Let stranger enter the
house Of a Cuban for the first time. and the
host or hostess of the mansion says at once,
either in such words or their equivalent Gall
that we have is at your SERVICE take what you
will, and our right hand with it." Yet no one
thinks of understanding this literally. The
family volante is at your order, or saddle
horse: and in such small kindnesses they are
indeed polite; but when they beg of you to
accept ring, book, valuable toy, because
you have happened to praise it. you are by no
means to do so, Another trait of character
which suggests itself in this connection, is their
universal habit of profuse compliment The
ladies listen to them, as q matter of course,
from their countrymen, or from such Frenchmen
as have become domesticated in the Island but
if an American takes occasion to compliment
them they once delighted, for they believe
them to be sincere, and the matter is secretly
treasured to be repeated.
The Cuban ladies', with true femenine acute
ness, estimate correctly the high fown compli-
ments of their countrymen; and the kindred
French, Castiian and Partisan politeness is of
about equal value aud means the same things
that is-nothing. TO strangers it is very pleas
ant at first but the moment it is apparent that
these protestations of friendship and offers of
service are transparent devices, and that if you
take them at their word they are embarrassed,
perhaps offended, that you must be constantly
on your guard, and be very careful to consider
every fine phrase flower of rhetoric, it be-
comes positively disagreeable. Good manners
go great way; and if a person does you
favor, the pleasure you experience is much en-
HANGED by the grace with which the obligation
is conferred; but there is a vast difference be-
tween true and false politeness. The former
springs only from a good and true heart; the
latter is especially egotistical. Both the French
and Spanish are extremely gallant to women
and yet the condition of women in both France
and Spain is vastly inferior to that of our fair
countrywomen, notwithstanding the Spanish
caba'icro and the Partisan elegantcan couch their
hcartIess compliments in terms our plain people
would vainly attempt to initiate But what cares
a woman for fine phrases, if she knows that the
respect due to her sex is wantings The condi-
ton of the women Of Cuba is eminentiy Span
ish, and she is here too often the slave of pas
sion and the victim of jealousy.

CUBA.-The Providence Journal thinks that
the annexation Of Canada to the United States
is growing more and more probable, and adds :
81. If it ever takes place, it will be done with
out war, without purchase, and by the free con-
sent of all the parties in interest, and for the
benefit of all. The people of Canada have made
and are making great strides in prosperity
They are hardy, enterprising and intelligent
people, accustomed to free institutions, and ac-
customed to regard the United States with adj
miration, tempered, indeed, with envy, but still
genuine and sincere. If any more annexation
is to be made in southerly direction, the North
will demand balance beyond the lakes, and if
it can be obtained peaceably, the demand can
not be refused"
