RECOMMENDATIONS.


January 90, 1884.
TO C. 4. Dstn,old President ~ J. Zimc Co, ~ Y.
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, manufaciuredby by the New Jersey Zinc Com.
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages Of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this mpor-
tant subject TO the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with il complete se-
res of specimens of wood anG 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 10 give full publicity TO the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance TO be kept from ihe naval and commercial
world. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

The CASE OF Mas. GAINEs.-A writer in
the Neto Orleans Delta contends that Mrs.
Gaines is by no means certain Of obtaining a
fortune by the late decision in her favor. He
quotes the opinion Of the court to fortify bis
opinion, and adds
The probate of will is mere er parte pro.
ceeding, and is always granted if the applicant
can make out prima facie case, but it has no
binding effect on any ore. Should Mrs. Gaines
attempt to claim any property sold by her ex.
ecutors under the former, the parties sued could
still, in addition to their other defenses, such as
prescription, attack the validity of the will, or
as the court observes, " show that no such will
was executed"
The probability is that Mrs. Gaines would
not be able to recover anything from Daniel
Clark's estate, even if there we're a valid will
in her favor, except what she might obtain by
compromises from parties who do not wish TO
be annoyed by litigation, for the simple reason
that Daniel Clark's estate always was, and still
is insolvent.

SENATOR TooMBs's LECTURE AT
pnSTnx

We notice that the Boston papers give Us
some account Of the reception Of Senator
Toonlbs and bis lecture on slavery.
We 30 not doubt, from the ability Of the
Senator from Georgia, that his lecture will be
come the textbook Of national men at the
North, from which, in all future discussions
they may draw arguments.
Until We receive a copy Of the lecture, We
cannot SO pertinently comment on il as we
should wish.
We doubt not that this lecture will be more
generally read at the North than anything
which ever emanated from Southern source
on the same subject. 1t will give many
views new to most people at the North, and
will show to them that what they have hitherto
considered SO clear, is in reality question Of
extreme delicacy and danger and we doubt
not that many who hitherto have had little
federation for the South holding negroes in
slavery, will come TO the conclusion that we're
they themselves in the South, they would hest.
tate long before they would adopt the course
they have hitherto so strenuously urged They
will ask themselves how it so imperatively
concerns them TO interfere in this matter which
in no wise affects them, as to compel them to
resort to. measures Of hostility to the South,
which must Of necessity force an alienation,
bringing with il no doubtful disasters, but en-
during and fatal evils. They wiz reflect and
ask themselves, what they would gain by sue
cess in manumitting the slaves Of the South.
They will ask themselves, if any benefits Ger
tain to arise can equal the certain deluge Of
mischief which would ensue upon success.
They will say TO themselves, if we allow
slavery to 90 into new States, it will be nc
more than would happen upon peaceable
dissolution Of the Union, giving to each State
its proportion Of land in reference to popular
representation. Why, them should we refuse.
in the bands OF brotherhood, that which we
would allow at its dissolution?
If il we're certain that every State would
come in with slavery, it would only be as /,
was when the Constitution was formed not
only 50, but erpress precision cas then made
10 augment he number Of STARE States and to
this provision every one from the free States sub.
scribed. Why, then, should they now seek to
dissolve the Union, when all that is claimed is
q change Of residence for those who are already
slaves?
Sober reason must come to the rescue Of
the North; and its candid men, how insupera.
bly, soever opposed to slavery, will perceive that
by allowing to the South their constitutional
rights, they in no way compromit their opposi-
tion to slavery, but show that their sense Of

Any person going through the markets may
notice the large amount of pheasants exhibited
for sale. They should beware, however, OF
purchasing them, for they are no more fit to
eat than so much poison. The bird is not only
out of season. but the recent snow storm has
deprived it Of its ordinary food, and it nov has
to resort to anything it can procure, generally
the leaves of evergreen trees and bushes. some
of them rank poison. An individual, will eat a
pheasant for supper, and congestion Of the
brain will ensue, or he will suddenly fall dead.
and the coroners verdict will be apoplexy. A
whole family will be taken sick, and, unless
the peculiar habits Of the pheasant are known,
they will seek in vain for the cause Death
frequently happens in this way. During the
British occupation of Philadelphia, when the
officers INDUCED themselves in pheasant shoot.
ing on Wissahickon heights, seven persons
were poisoned at the supper succeeding the
sport. The Bird unable on account Of the
depth of the snow to find his natural food, was
compelled to feed on the buds and leaves of
the laurel, (Kdlmia LdtiIolid.) Death ensued.
A scientific friend has just exhibited to us the
crop and intestines, with the body Of pleas
ant, weing lib l43oz. The crop and stomach
were crammed with half decomposed laurel.
One pair of such birds might render family
helpless for weeks, if not poison them to death.

Slavery at the south.

A correspondent of Cincinnati paper, who
is evidently deeply imbued with abolitonism
has lately visited New Orleans. He describes
quite pleasantly, the features of Southern
scenery, and is incontinently led into the fol.
lowing admission in regaId to Southern Slavery;
/" After getting below Vicksburg our passen
gers began to leave US, and on the last day
there were many interesting scenes, as the
planters, with their families and servants landed
at their several homes on the river bank. The
steamboat bell rings, aud by the time the boat
has swung round and fastened to the shore,
twenty or thirty negroes-men, women and
children-come running down the bank to meet
massa and Mistress Bidding farewell to
their friends. oftwo weeks acquaintance on the
boat, they follow their trunks and boxes to the
landing, where every slave takes them by the
hand and welcomes them home, seemingly with
as much affection as they would father and

PESNsYLvANIA AND VIRGIyIA-THE
PARSONS CASE.

Serious difficulties are likely to arise between
the States Of Virginia and Pennsylvania, out
of the case Of James Parsons, jr., for attempt
ing to seize his fugitive slave. He has been
indicted in Pennsylvania court for kidnap.
ping, and held to bail in the sum Of $4,000
The punishment for kidnapping is confinement
in the penitentiary.
That an attempt to recover ones own slave
is not kidnapping we will not waste ink and
paper in arguing But it is apprehended that
Parsons may be convicted of the charge so un
Justly brought against him, and subjected to
the ignominious punishment prescribed for that
offence.
The whole subject has. within the last few
lature, and gave rise to a long, warm, and able
debate. In the popular branch Of the Legisa
ture disposition to resort to extreme measures
was evnced, and resolutions were passed which
treated this outrage on Parsons, if carried out
TO conviction, as cause Of war between the
two States.
The other branch Of the Legislature 1.-THE
Senae) viewed the matter more calmly. While
every proper disposition to protect Mr.. Parson,
and every other citizen Of Virginia was mani
tested, large majority of the senators opposed
at present, the adoption Of rigorous measures
They were content to request or require tina
Mr.. Parsons shall not appear to answer The
charge preferred against him, and that the
State Of Virginia shall be responsible for The
sun in which he was bailed.
The bill, as passed, is q substitute for the
original BILL and omits all reference to calling
upon the military in certain contingency, bu
provides that all money paid by Virginia, OF
behalf Of Parsons, shall be demanded of Penn
sylvana, and in case the latter shall hereafte
imprison Parsons and refuse to release him
the Governor Of Virginia shall immediatel
convene the Legislature. The bill is made ap
plicable to all future similar cases.
Such is tn BILL We believe, as it passed th,
Senate. Whether it has yet been acted upor
by the House, we are yet to learn.
We are informed, however, that Mr.. Parson!
has gone to Pennsylvania TO stand trial, ant
that the Governor Of Virginia has appointed
John Randolph Tucker, esq, his counsel, OF
behalf of the State.
We do not hesitate to express the opinion
that any matreatment of Mr.. Parsons by tn
authorities Of Pennsylvania will lead to seri
Gus difficulties between the two States. 1t is
fit subject Of congratulation that the presen
Legislature Of Pennsylvania is Democratic
and wherever Democracy is in the ascendant
there we may look for respect for the rights 0
property and fidelity to the Constitution.
