THE FIRST ARRIVAL FROM JAPAN.

THE FIRST ARRIVAL FROM JAPAN
Prom the Washington Constitution, April o.
The subioined extract from letter Of the
United States Consul at London to the Sec
retary of State, contains information which is
characteristic of the energy and enterprise Of
our countrymen. We understand that the
seed Of the vegetable wax tree. and the sam
pie of wax to which Mr. Campbol's letter

Japan, from which she sailed on the 18th Of
December last. with n cargo consisting chiefly
of vegetable wax. This arrival from Japan
is the first that has ever occurred in any Eng
lis port, and it is gratifying to state that there
is every probability of Captain Dumaresu re-
alizing cent. per cent. upon the whole of his
outlay. The wax and the berry or fruit pro-

WHITE WASHING.

The most simple mode Of making white
wash is to slack lime in water, in which salt
has been dissolved And after reducing it to
ths consistency of milk, apply it. The salt,
it is said, has a tendency to cause the lime to
adhere longer The following recipe is re-
commended for inside work well as out
side. We would merely observe that inside
walls, where person comes in cont ct with
them should not be whtwashed, but painted
or papered for the best white-washng will
rub off upon your clothes.
Take half bushel of nice unslacked lime,
slack it with boiling water, covering it dur
ing the process to keep in the stream. Strain
the liquid through fine sieve or straner,
and add to it peck of salt, previously well
dissolved in water three pounds Of ground
rice, boiled to thin PASTE and stirred IN
boiling hot half pound Of powdered Span
ish whiting, aud pound of clean glue which
has oecn previously dissolved by soaking 1t
well and then hanging over slow fire, IN a
small kettle with a large one filled with wa
ter. Add five gallons of hot water to the
mixture, stir it we'll, and let it stand few
minutes covered from the dirt. 1t should be
put on right hot for this purpose it can be
kept in a kettle on furnace. 1t IS said that
about a pint of this mixture will cover a
square yard upon the outside Of the house, If
properly applied. Brushes more or less small
may be used, according to the neatness of the
Job required 1t answers as well as oil paint
for wood, brick or stone, and is cheaper. 1t
retains its brilliancy for many years. There
is nothing of the kind that will compare with
it. either for inside or outside walls Color
ing matter may be put in and made OF any
shade YOU like. Spanish brown stirred IN
will make red pink, more or less deep accord
ing to the quantity. A delicate tinge OF this
is very pretty for inside walls. Finely pull
verified. common clay, we'll mixed with Span
ish brown. makes reddish stone color
yellow ochre stirred in makes yellow wash,
but chrome goes further, and makes color
generally esteemed prettier. In all these ca
ses the darkness of the shades of course IS
determined by the quantity Of color used
1t is difficult to make rules, because tastes
are different it would be best to try expert
ments on a shingle, and let it dry. We have
been told that green must not be mixed with
lime. The lime DESTROYS the color, and the
color has an effect on the whitewash, which
makes it crack and peel. When walls have
been badly smoked and you wish to have
them clean white. it is well to squeeze in
digo plentifully through a bag into the water
YOU use. before it is stirred in the whole mix
ture. If larger quantity than five gallons
be wanted, the same proportion should be
observed -Muinc Farmer.
