THE COLoRING OF GOLD.-Different shades
of color are given to ornaments of gold by ex-
posing them to different chemical agents
which dissolve out portion OF the copper
and silver alloy, while they have scarcely any
action on the gold BY this process the sur
face of the ornament appears like pure gold,
while below the ssrtace the quantity Of copper
or OF silver may be considerable. The French
jewellers possess number of recipes for CIV
ing color TO gold, the most common of which
is a mixture et two parts nitre, one part sea
salt, and enc OF Roman alum. OF this mixture
Il quantity is taken about three times the
weight of the jewels which are to be colored,
and q concentrated solution is made with boil
ing water. Tue jewels are kept IN this solu-
tion, at the boiling point, from fifteen 10
twenty-five minutes, according TO the shade
required. They are then taken out, washed
in water, and the operation is finished. The
surface of the gold is dull, but perfectly uni
form, but can be made lustrous by Furnishing

GAR1BALDI's FAREWELL ADDRESS The
farewell address of Garbaldi to his army is
published. 1t is very brief and the following
is the conclusion-in fact, nearly the whole
of it:
Let timid doctrines be cast out forever
amongst us. Providence has presented Italy
with Victor Emmanuel and by the side OF
Victor Emmanuel every quarrel should be
forgotten. Once more req eat my battle cry
ITO arms, all of youn If March, 1861, does
not find million of Italians in arms, then,
alas for liberty alas for Italy, Let the
March of 1861, or, if necessary, of February,
find us all at our posts. Italians of Calata-
fina, Palermo, Volturno, Ancona, Castelf-
dardo and Iserni, every man of this land who
is not coward slave is on our side. All
of us, all OF us, say, standing round the glo-
rious hero of Palestro, will strike the last
blow at the crumblng ediffce of tyranny.
Receive, volunteers, the honored conquerors
of battles, one word of farewell from me to-
day. / am obliged to retire; but it is foi a few
days only. The hour of battle will fiud me
with you again. Let those only return so
their homes who are called by the imperative
their wounds have deserved the gratitude OF
their country. Those will serve Italy in their
homes, by their counsels and the very aspect
Of their noble wounds. Apart from these, let
all others remain to guard our glorious ban
nere.
We shall meet ere long, again to march to-
gether for the redemption of our brethren
who are still the slaves of the stranger.

ronto (C. w J Leader states that or the morn

preaching the head of the canal at Dickinson 9
Landing, was running at the RS te of twelve
miles per hour and when within a few yards
OF the guard lock the captain discovered
that two barges obstructed the entrance. To
stop his vessel was impossible, and he had
either to run into the barges and sink them at
the expense of human life, run down the
frightful boiling rapid near, or run into the
lighthouse. Choosing the least danger, he
steered into the lighthouse, which was com.
pletely demolished, so great was the concus-
sion. No lives were lost, and very little dam.
age done the vessel.

A STEAMER IN A TERRIBLE CONDITION.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Journal gives a descrip-
ton of the suffering experienced in L storm
on Lake Erie. 1t says:
Thus when near Cleveland on Friday even
ing, the unfortunate steamer had 10 put abou t
and for twenty -four hours endured eae of the
most terrible storms that ever blew on Lake
Erie. The snow, hard and cutting rs parti-
cies of ice. dashed in the faces of the sailors,
the heavy seas made clean breaches over the
vessel, smashing her bnlworks and badly
wrecking her at every blow. Ice formed
everywhere, so that icces depended from the
roof OF the cabins, and sheet ice cased the
floors. Costly mirrors, handsome furniture
lamps, vases, and all the other elegant fittings
of this beautiful steamer, were dashed TO the
deck in one common ruin. The passengers
clung together, expecting every moment to be
their last. To add to the horrors of the situa-
tion, the fuel gave out, and the engines were
kept going by burning up some OF the freight L,
and portions of the furniture. AT one time
the steamer lay over on her side and all hope
was abandoned except by the officers, who
never fiinched for moment. a quantity of
heavy freight was thrown off, and she once
more righted. When near Cleveland for the
last time the iarboard wheel dropped oft and
was lost, making 1t extremely difficult for the
steamer 10 enter the port. She now lies at the
dock and a visit To her can alone give Il cor.
rect idea of the suffering and dangers of that
terrible trip.
