On Painting

No trade in our country needs improve
ment more than painting, especially in re-
gard to durability. The most common
error in painting grows out of the idea
that spirits Of turpentine is a dryer or, in
other words, has drying effect upon oil
and paints with which it is mixed hence
il is used indiscriminately by painters to
make paint dry, when the fact Is, it only
diminishes the quantity Of oil used, and
evaporates very soon after paint is spread
on wood, Sithout having impaired any
drying quality to the oil or paint. The
only proper use fspi'its of turpentine in
painting or vanishing, is to reduce dry
paints or gums to a consistency capable
Of icing spread out, as in painting or var
nishing, and il we could spread ont the
other ingredients on the same surface, with
out the turpentine, we might dispense

IL the comparison had been Instituted be-
tween the native white population, and the
foreign, which is also white. thus epresent.
ing the American and European nations, the
relative proportion of crime among the two
classes would have been much greater; and
when we take into consideration the fact
that only the white native and the immi-
grant or European population ate entitled to
or ever exercise tho right of citizenship
which is the only just political view of the
question, for i, is the political power and in
fuence Of foreigners which we seek to coun-
teract or destroy-the comparison thus in
stituted between the two class es of white
people would be more just and appropriate
and would more correctly exhibit the evil &
danger attendant upon indiscrmina,e immi-
grafton, 10 the Institutions, safety, and vel
fare OF our common country.
The above calculations we have based up
on the census Of 1880. In Massachusetts,
in 1851, there were confined in the various
jails, and houses of correction, 1882 natives
and 2,6l5 foreigners in 1853, 2,Il7 natives
and 3,l42 foreigners. In these three years
the increased native prisoners was 26j; of
foreign 527-thus showing the relative pro-
portion Of increa Sc to be one native 10 two
foreigners; yet the native population OF the
State is six times as great as the foreign. or
the number committed to Jail in the State of
Rhode Island, dur ing the year lSJ4; 65 were
natives and 256 foreigners. In the State Of
