To c. e. Dssnsold, Prssidsns N. J. Zinc Co., N y
Sin A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon ali the various paints and artificial prepara-
lions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manuiacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as a 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 protectvs 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 a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paration., and then exposed ak, ,r an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this Ivy yard all
of which illustrates, in the most,tt. ii..g manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided tperiorty OF
your White Zinc Paint over all,.,er kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes
You are AT liberty to give full puo.-city 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 obedent servant,

THE DAUGHTERS OF COUNT DE GRAssE. Our
readers will remember that we noticed, recently,
the death, in N. York, of Madame De Pau, youngest
daughter of the Count De Grasse. The Charleston
Standard relates fact in reference to the family of
that great man, which is not generally known 1t
appears thattwo other daughters came to this coun.
try with Madame De Pau, and that both died and
were buried in Charleston. In the grave yard OF
Hope Chapel in that city, there is tomb, bearing
the following inscription:
"Underneath lie inferred the bodies of Mile
Amelie Maxine Rossie De Grasse, died 23d of Au.
gust, l799 and of Mile Meloine Vironque Maxine
De Grasse, died Sept. 10, 1799-d daughters of the
late James Joseph Paul, Count De Grasse Marquis
De Tilley, of the former Counts of Province, Sow
ereign Prince of Antilles, Lieut.. General of the
Naval Armies of his Most Christian Majesty, Com
mander of the Royal Order of ST. Louis and u
member OF the Sons of Cincinnati"
The inscription is surmounted by coat-ofarm
and has under 1t the Roman cross. The three sis
ters are remembered by persons still living in
Charleston.

life, surrounded by her pet birds, dogs goats, sheep
hens turkeys, pigs, and her pony. The latter
seems to be fsvorite with Lola, and he Is her
companion In all her mountain rambles. Surely IL
Is a strange metanorphosis TO find the woman who

has played her part upon the stage of life with
powerful potentates, and with whose name Europe
and the world are familiar, finally settled down a:

by Col Gwynn, the Chief Engineer of the State
OF the three routes Col. G. gives the preference to
the Swananoa Gap, which connects with the valley
of the French Broad and along that passes into
Tennessee. He estimates the cost of the road at
