Amuseneu1s Of the Preach Ladies,

The great rage among the ladies Of Paris iuss
at present is decQlc0mqRJe. A letter from that
city says:
Perhaps the art has not reached your far Of
shores, and you are not yet enlightened as to
what decalc0m9Hie Is Well, decalcomaniei IS the
art OF decorating " sol meme AS the advertise
ments state-pOrcelain, wood, paper. and can
dies, SO that they appear to have been finely
painted, and the porcelain made to resemble tho
finest SeTTes ware, and all at q comparatively
small expense, and without any study OF prac-
tice, as anybody with any ordinary stesdiness Of
nerve and delicacy Of touch can become frat
rate artist IN decscOmsnie IN 8 single trial. The
process is simply thus
A cOloTed picture, which Is purchased with
other materials, is covered with a gum, and then
applied to the object to be ornamented The
back OF the paper IS then wet with water, when
1t may be peeled of, leaving the picture, which
Is usually flower, Cupid, Venus, or some
god or goddess, or a little pastoral scene, trans
terred upon the cup, saucer or candle. Then an
other gum IS used which " sets the pictUreaud
prevents 1t from washing of. The articles,
when the process is completed, are really very
beautiful, and it is difficult to imagine that they
have not been under the hands Of a slIilIful az
tist. The secret Of the whole thing, / imagine,
consists in the preparation Of the paper upon
which the cOlOred prints are stamped. This pa
per, presume, IS first covered with thin coat
ing Of cOllOdiOn, from which the picture is then
impressed. The gum which the decalcomanie-
ist puts on it makes the eOllOdiOnzed picture aJ-
here to the object on which it is placed and wet
ting the back detaches the paper from the layer
OF cOllodiOn, and the paper thus pseling of
leaves the picture covered by an imperceptible
transparent coating of eollodion. Tie pictures
here are sold for a sou apiece, and a few francs
buys stock enough to transform all the china
ware in an ordinary family into very good imita-
tons Of SeTTes, and to beautifully ornament all
the candles. Decaleomanie is really an interest
ing and elegant art, and, as I said before IS sll
the rage in Paris Just nov. it is even said that
the empress amuses herself by Ornamenting the
candles which she burns in her boudoir

Lie Distress England.

From the Le1d0n Times
No man, woman, or child need die OF starva-
tion in England. There are houses open, there
IS bread to be eaten. Yet ttwo-thirds of the pop
ulation of England would rather die of starYa-
lion than enter one of those houses or cat of
that bread. May it never be otherwise But
we must remember this strength Of the English
workman's pride of Independence before we can
fully appreciate the fact that during the months
of March and April the number of paupeTs
weekly relieved in the distressed unions of
Lancashire and Cheshire has been no less than
104, sos 1t is true that Lancashire alone has q
population OF 2,45600O; but in that part of the
kingdom where labor was Temunerative, and the
spirit Of independence was high, the pressure
must be very severe TO have produced such a
mass Of pauperism ss this
Between the last year and the present the diff
ference is very marked. A return has just been
printed Of the numbers in every union through
out the cotton districts, and on looking over the
figures, it becomes distressingly manifest that
month after month in the present year, hundreds
have been pushed by their necessities cut Of
their Independence and over the pauper preci-
piee. In AshtOn-under Lyme, the number Of
paupeTs receiving relief In the last week in
april Of 1861 was 1919, the number on the
last day of last April, was 1758. In Black
burn, where are I7,Sl9 persons engaged in
COtiOA mauuIacIuTe, the pauper pOpulatlO0 OF
the whsle ll9,937 souls was in 1861 only 27I5.
1t is at this moment at least 9999. In Manches-
teT township, where the cotton manufactures are
numbered at l9,252, and the total population is
I55,O40, the number Of psupers has risen from
1916 in April, 1861, to y ,296 in April, 1862.
These figures show a vast stride of destitu-
tuition throughout these peopled districts; but,
Unhappily, they do not tell us all, They show
US anly the families who have fallen, and not
the families who are still struggling. There
was money IN the Savings bank, there were
books, there were sometimes clocks and watches;
perhaps even trinkets, or other little articles of
luxury there were holiday clothes, and, lastly,
there was the furniture of the home. These
have ali been melting away item by item to
break the fall Hope that the factory again
would open, that the staple of their industry
would again be plentiful, has sustained many
thousand families, even, perhaps to this time,
hanging on, suspended by last thread over
the dreaded gulf pauperism.
The return does not enable us TO contrast the
whole number OF paupers relieved in the cotton
districts in 1860 with those now upon the par
ishes, but the difference must be very dreadful,
and in tive are afraid that we only partially see
the results Of the blockade of the American
ports, and Of our too great reliance upon one
source Of supply for an article so essentalto the
well being of our population. The employers
are, for the most part, doing their duty fairly,
the people are bearing the reverse nobly, and
the local power is not yet overstrained.

court martial recently held in this military de-
partment, which win be apt to attract attention.
Il is the trial, conviction and sentence of a ne
gro man found making his way to the Federal
lines near Pensacola, who, mistal1ing our pick
els for the Federals, unwiltingly betrayed his
wicked and trsitorous purpose. He not only
proposed to give the enemy all the information
be could, (and what he told our pickets, misiak-
ing them for Federals, was both accurate and
important,) but even expressed his willingness
10 lead them to the attack upon US. The proof
was complete, and the hard but merited penalty
of death has been pronounced and approved,
and the 4th Of July is fixed upon for the execu-
ton of the spy. The case is a singular one-lor
our negroes as a class are remarkably faithful to
the cause of the South, which is hardly less

EARLY RISING.

For 10 the morning hath begun;
With his rays, me, prone, earessing,
Calls me to be up and dressing

Where the fresh night-dew is lurking
Raising vapor for the showers.
Giving color to the flowers;
Unfolding buds into green leaves;
Peeplng under the homestead ewes
Warming all her children eallow,
That / may delight the swallow
Calling the bees TO quit their hive
And in those golden baths TO dive
Where the dew still fills the flower,
Ere the sun asserts his power

Refresh their limbs for lRbSr's flight.

The handle clicks against the pail,
And milkmaids each their own kline hail.

Such feelings were not only natural, but most
praiseworthy; and we, who looked upon the

to award merit to both sides, where it was due,
must feel that our sympathies were with those

SALT MAKING-We learn that Col John
Robinson Of this county, has been quite sue
cessful in obtaining salt from the earth taken
from the aoor of one Of his smOkshouses.
The process is the same as that hereto
ford deseribed-that Of the Z" hopper" the same
as in making ley. Before being placed in the
hopper the earth was thoroughly pulverizsdi
the drippings were then boiled down, and from
four barrels Of earth four bushels Of sslt were
obtained. From his several meathouses Col
Robinson expects to obtain sufficient salt to cure
all his meat next winter. With saltat htty doll
lars per saek-the rate at which it now sells IN
this plaee-it would be well for every man who
has a smokehouSe, especially The large meat
raisers, to follow Col. RobinsOn's example ana

Tho Glo,ious Record of a Single

For a month past, series of brilliant sue
cessts have attended the Union arms In th'
Southwest. On the 9Th Of February, For
Henry was invested and captured; on the 18th
our army vas before Fort Donelson, and on the
l6.h, after three days bard fighting, the fort,
with large amount of prisoners and spoils,
fell into our hands.
Oa the I7th of February our army was at
ClarksvlIIe, aud on the 22d it had reached
Nashville, over a hundred miles above Fort
Doneson. In tie meantime the rebels were
compelled to evacuste Bowling Green, Russell
vile and Gallstin, which were Immediately oc-
cupied by our troops. y .
On the 9th OF February, the rebels COM
menced evscuasiDg and burning their Gibraltar

our troops on the 4th instant. Thus, has one
strong point after another been surrendered on
the rebel, and gained on the Union side, during
the past month. May the month to come re-
cord successes equally promising for the final
success of the Union arms in the suppression
of rebellious combinations!
