PRINTING TEXTILES DY LIcHT.-A mode
Of printing textile fabrics by the chemical
action of light has been brought to notice,
under the term Of chromatc photo-print-
ing. The author Mr. R. Smith, Of Lon
don, proposes to employ the chemical agen-
cy Of light in dyeing or staining textile
fabrics; the cloth, whether wool, silk, fax,
or cotton, being first stepped in a suitable
solution, then dried in the dark, and subse'
quently exposed to the action of light, those
parts which are to form the pattern being
protected by pieces of darkened paper, OIL
some other proper material, attached to a
plate of glass. When the desired effect is
produced, the time for which varies from
two to twenty minutes, according to the
nature of the process, the fabric has to be
removed in order to undergo fixing oper
alton, whilst fresh portion of it is exposed
to the light. This may be easily effected
by the use of very simple mechanical or
rangement, so that q number of photo
graphic engines may be placed side by side
and operated at once.

Col MOBILES WAGoN-RoAD PARTY.-Ad-
vices dated St Paul, Sept. 25th, have
reached the Interior Department from Col.
Mobiles, superintendent of the party to con-
struct the wagon-road in Minnesota Terri
tory. Tho most interesting particulars oi
bis letter have been anticipated.
We are glad to hear Of the success, thus
for, Of the expedition, which was at one
time threatened with serious trouble and
probable defeat, owing to the Indian trou,
bes at Yellow Medicine, happily nverted
by the promptness Of the Indian Depart
ment in Minnesota, under charge Of Major
Cullen.
There is now completed from the Big
Sioux to the Missouri river road over
which any train can pass, and through O
country inviting to the emigrant. In fouI
weeks the road will be completed from the
Big Sioux to Fort Ridgeley-the eastern
terminus on the Missouri river.

ELECTRO CHEMICAL ENGRAvING.- is
a mode Of engraving applicable to any pro
cess by which a design is Reproduced. The
drawing may be made upon paper and
transferred upon the plates. Impressions
from lithographic stones, from copper OF
steel, may be transferred Craving tools
may also be used, and as well upon zinc as
upon lithographic stones, for the purpose
Of procuring fiat shade. This process is
equally applicable to printing type. 1t is
sufficient to have page Of book trans
formed upon plate Of zinc to make a ste.
reotype According to this method, a page
of book may be transposed, during the
printing, upon thin sheets Of zinc, and from
these upon stouter sheets, for engraving
whenever a reprint is desired A copy OF
thin sheets Of zinc will not cost more thar
a copy on good paper

The New TERRIroRY OF DAcorAH.-The
last Congress, it will be remembered,
formed a new territory under the name Of
Dacotah. The Independent, Published at
Sargeant's Bluff, says the Territory in
cludes q great part of the valley of the
Sioux, the valleys Of the James and Yer,
million rivers, and large tracts Of beautiful
bottom lands lying on the Missouri. In re-
gard to the climate, it becomes milder ia
the westward, so much so that the winters
in the northwestern part Of Dacota are
said to be not much more severe than in
northern Pennsylvania. The prevailing
want Of this entire region is timber. ItI
chief attractions are fertile soil, pure all
and water, and unusually healthy climate
and it is believed also to possess an abund
ance Of mineral coal.

At halfpast . O'Clock, on Sabbath evening,
observed lightning low in the horizon,

no thunder was heard. A gentleman who
came from Chicago on Monday morning,
informed me that at that hour heavy
thunder storm was in progress in that city,
no signs of which were seen this side Of the
head Of Lake Michigan. So lightning can
be seen at least two hundred miles

SEA-WoRTHIEEss OF THE Central AMER
IoA.--An Engineer communicates the fol-
lowing to the N. Y. Evening Posi-;
Your article in relation to the sea-wor.
thiness Of the Central America, alias Geo.
Law, is entirely correct. Having made
two trips in her from New York, think
my opinion Of the steamer is sustained, and
will be by all parties who have had
the misfortune to travel iu her and that
she went under the name Of the Old Tub
among all sea.faring men who ever made q
trip in her so much so, that parties going
out to California were afaid TO 60 in her,
and her owners changed her name to Cen.
tral America, so that miners would not
know it was the George Law till on board
The less the owners Of the Law say in re-
gard to her sca-worihiness the better, both
in reference to the Law, and also the Hi
nois, the other boat on the line and I
there is On investigation in relation TO the
disaster, am prepared to show she should
have been condemned year ago, and alsC
that the Illinois is not in a condition nov

Should you ask us why this dunning,

Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read of church affairs and prospects.
Read OF news both home aud foreign,
Read the essays and the poems,
Full of wisdom and instruction
Read the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly

From the kind old paper-maker,
From the landlord, from the carrier,
From the man who taxes letters
With stamp from Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him;
From them all there comes a message,
Message kind, but firmly spoken,
PLEASE to pay us what you owe us"
Sad it is to hear such message
When our funds arc all exhausted,
When the last bank note has left US,
When the gold coin all has vanished,
Gone to pay the papermaker,
Gone to pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone to pay the sable carrier,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay old Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him
Gone to pay the "shrieker's" paper
Three and twenty hundred dollars.
Sad It Is to turn our ledger,
Turn and see what sums arc due US,
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due for years Of toilsome labor,
Due despite our patient waiting,
Due despite our constant dunning,
Due in sums from five TO twenty.
Would you lift burden from usl
Would you drive a spectre from yOu3
Would you taste pleasant slumber!
Would you have a quiet conscience
Would you read paper paid for!

DEATH OF JUDGE TAPPAN.

The Honorable Benjamin Tsppan, Of Steuben-
vile, Ohio, recently died at bis residedce, in his
85th year. The Cincincati Gazette says Of
him.
ale has occupied very conspicuous position
before the public and has been an active leader Of
the Democratic party. Belonging rather TO the
old than the new school Of Democracy, be has not
Of late years sympathised much with their doings.
He YVES \ decided Anti. Slavery man. and on that
account lost caste with the Southern Senator'S
He was in the Senate from 1899 to l845-being
a member of that body when the Texas Treaty
was before it--and was accused, we believe truly,
of having furnished the copy of the Treaty which
appeared in the column of the N. Y. Herald.
'Judge Tappan was brother of Arthur Tap
pan, Of New York; but, unlike him, was a free
thinker in religion. He issaid to have led a NOR
al life, but exercised an unfavovrable influence on
young men,
"Judge TAPPAN was a man Of decided and
impressive abilities. He was particularly remark
able for a cold sarcasm and wit, about which there
are many stories current. Numerous anecdotes
arc told of him. especially of his repsrtee and sar-
casm. Looking at him at a distance and without
personal acquaintance, we should place him
among small class who, having great talents,
have not yet possessed that moral strength which
is necessary to make them beneficial to mankind
In him the democracy have lost one of the few
remaining pillars Of their ancient faith-that faith
which, like the French rsyOlqtionists, believed in
political liberty at the expense Of religious truth"
