Brilliant WhiteUash,

Many have heard of the brilliant stuc-
co whitewash on the east end OF The
Presidents house at Washington The
following is receipt for making it, as
CLEANED from the National Mteliiqencer,
with some additional Improvements learn
ed by experiment: Take half bush
ell of nice unslacked lime, slake it with
boiling water, cover it during the pro-
cess to keep IN the steam. Strain the
liquid through a fine sieve or strainer, and
add to it peck of clean salt, previously
well dissolved in warm water; three
pounds of ground rice, boiled to a thin
paste, and stirred in boiling hot half a
pound of Spanish whiting, and pound
of clean glue, which has been previously
dissolved by soaking it well, and then
hanging it over slow fire, in small
kettle within a large one filled with wa
ter. Add five gallons of hot water to
whole mixture stir it well and let it
stand few days covered from the dirt.
1t should be put on right hot for this
purpose it can be kept in kettle on a
portable furnace. 1t is said that about
one pint of this mixture viii cover a
