4 BRILLIANT STUcCo WHITEwAsH.-
Many have probably often heard of the
brilliant and lasting whitewash upon
the east end Of the Presidents House at
Washington City. The following is a
receipt for making it /:
Take clean Jumps Of well burnt lime,
(say five or six quarts, slack the same
with hot water, in tub, covered to keep
in the steam, pass it in the fluid form
through fine sieve; add one fourth of
pound of whiting or burnt alum, pull
verified ; one pound of good sugar; three
pints of rice -four, made into a thin and
well boiled paste; and one pound of clean
glue. dissolved by first soaking it well,
and then putting it into small kettle,
" hich should again be put into a larger
one filed with water, and placed over a
slow fire. Add five gallons of hot water
to the whole mixture.
This wash is applied where particular
neatneSs is required. with painters brush.
1t must be put on while warm, if upon
the outside of the building-if within
doors, cold. 1t will retain its brilliancy
for many years. There is nothing of the
kind that will compare with it. About
one pint of this mixture will cover a
square yard upon the outside of house
if properly applied. If larger quantity
than FIVE gallons is wanted, the same pro-
portions must be observed in preparing.
COloring matter may be added to give it
any required shade.

Walkers PATENT WATER ELEVATOR.
The London Post describes a most
simple and ingenious contrivsnce for
throwing water in any direction in which
it may be required for gardening purpos-
es, or in case of fire. 1t consists of a
light metal tube about eight feet long,
with valve at the bottom opening in
wards. Surprising the end of the tube
to be struck into pail or reservoir of
water, the water Immediately rushes into
the tube, where it is locked in BY the fluid
pressing upon the valve. By few repe-
titions of the stroke the tube becomes
filed and the same nnOtion continued
forces the water in a stream from the top,
which is narrowed into smaller circum-
ference. As hand fre-engine, it is in
valuable. for dwelling houses and other
purposes.

Secret Societies in France-Their Or.
igin and Objects.

The Courier Francois thinks that "Se-
cret Societies. such as they exist in
France. are principally dangerous for the
classes which enlist in them. The dan
ger is. lest they may demoralize. by pen
etrating further amongst them, the class
which lives by the work Of IFS hands,
These secret societies isolate and corrupt
the lower classes, sn evil bad enough,
without searching ont for imaginary ones.
The operatives live by our sides, but not
with us. They have their own habits.
opinions. places of meeting, their jour
mails, their clubs, and even a language of
their own, which we DO not understand.
If care be taken, the lower classes, espe-
cially in great towns, will soon resemble
a band of gypsies. This isolation Of
the operatives, which divides society in
to to camps-barbarism and civilization
together-is it the fault of the operatives?
The lower classes began by being hostile
to Government they have ended by be-
ing hostile to society. Fatal circumstan-
ces have, no doubt, contributed to this.
But the sel6shness Of the upper classes,
and the negligence of Government, are
also to be blamed. The French Revolu-
ton mingled and assimilated all classes.
The lines Of denarcation have again re-
appeared. If the poor detest the rich.
and the ignorant the educated, it is that
all sympathy has disappeared. France
is perhaps the country in which there is
most disdain for social ameliorations.
We have schools. and yet there are but
so 900 children in the asylum schools.
Prisons and hospitals do not improve.
The INDECENT and the prostitute have no
asylum but crime. which opens for them
a prison. There is no such thing as home
for numbers of the operatives in Paris,
who pass their time in the wine-shop,
make it their domicile. and who end by
conspiring there. The people are now
without temples or tetes. There is moth
ing but labor to distract them from bad
habits and bad passions. If something
be not done to amend this state of things,
daily increasing degradation must be the
consequence

Snow ON RAILROADS MELTED BY STEAM.
"A curious idea was proposed by N. de
Lucy, in the Academy of Sciences, Paris,
December 18th, for preventing accidents
BY the congelation of snow on the rails,
a circumstance which has been often
known to turn the vehicles of the lines.
He proposed that pipe, propelling a
certain quantity of steam, shonld be plac-
ced with its orifce before each forewheel
of the locomotive engine. by which means
the snow would be totally melted before
the contact Of the wheel should take place.
1t had been found on the Basic and Stras-
burg railroad last winter that the oil had
become frozen in the machinery, whereby
an accident had been occasioned, and, to
remedy this. NJ. de Lucy proposed that
smaller pipes of steam (con6ned J should
be made to circulate through certain por-
tons of the machinery in locomotive en-
gines. so as to keep up a sufficient degree
of heat. This applied to the more deli
cate parts of the machinery. NJ. dc Lucy
further recommended that steam should
be used for melting the snow accumulated
in the street during the winter, in order
to facilitate the process of scavengering.

cratic members to pass the Western Extension and
other internal improvement bills, (ard which the
whig papers style the 'secret circular,') we sup
pose was written by some one who earnestly desir-
ed the passage of those measures. There is no
harm in it that see, only it would have been
better for the writer writer's to have signed it
with their own names, instead of signing it "East-
ern Democrats" Some of the Eastern members
denied any knowledge its publication We think
our wing friends are trying to make stir out of
a very small matter. The democratic party is,
of course, not responsible for any circular that an

REVIvING THE QUEsTIoN.-We notice that the
Columbia Carolinian is again discussing the ques-
ton as to where Gen. Jackson was born. If our
contemporary had read the evidence on the subject
published by Gen. S. III. Walkup, few months
ago, we think he would have felt convinced that
Jackson was born in n orth Carolina, in what is
now Union county. The fact that Gen. Jack
son once wrote letter claiming South Carolina as
his native State affords very little proof on the
point for it is an admitted fact that the individual
himself cannot identify his birthplace as correctly
as some othcrs-his mother for instance and those
kind friends who were present on the interesting
occasion.
