January 20, 1854.
TO C. -E. DsamcH President ~ J. Zine ca, ~ 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 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 impor-
tant subject TO the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks at
Washington and shall send with il 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 yardi 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 al 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 obedient servant,
- JHt JAMES JARVIS,
Inspector U. s. Navy Yard, Gospor, Va.

Madame Grisi and Signor Mario

furniture is Of richly carved rosewood
covered with rich satan damask, and
the floors are covered with moquet
carpets of elegant and costly pattern.
The sleeping apartments are arranged
in the most tasteful manner. ids
beds are canopied with white lace
curtains.
