great rapidity. The quicksilver, from the
motion of the stamps or muller, Is projected
against the cast iron sides, and sticks there
as perfectly as it has heretofore done by the
troublesome process used in gaivanizing cop

For galvanizing copper plates, nothing has
as vet proved anything like its equal. No
washing by nitric CT other acid is required.
1t is only necessary to rub the sodium ANAL
gam on the plate.
For amalgamating in pans, the sodium
amalgam should be dissolved in the mercury,
in the proportion of two ounces of the for
mer to five pounds of the latter, one hour
before being put in. For amalgamating in
the battery, the bottle containing the sodium
ANAL gam should have buckskin cover tied
over its mouth, through which the amalgam
is sifted into the mortar, through the feed
opening, which operation requires to be re.

experiment or two will serve to illustrate the

moderately strong solution of sulphate of
iron. The mercury is presently reduced to
the condition of thick mud, being so com.
pletely granulated (foured) as to resist all
efforts to restore it to its proper condition,
and retaining this condition almost indef-
nitely. Drop now q minute particle of So
dunn amalgam into it, when instantly the
whole is restored to its fluid state, and sub
sequent efforts to reproduce the granular
condition are futile if the least trace of So
dium remains.

gold from quartz, into contact with little

fact there seems to be a sort of active repul-

An Incident.

Our train rolled out from the Union depot
in the early part of the night. bound for the
North. The weather was Just sufficiently
cool to make one feel agreeable in good com
pany. The whistle sounded for the first sta
tion north of the Hoosier capital. As usual,
everybody poked their heads out to see some
thing, if it was there. Just married. spoke
an old lady, as she drew her head in, after
satisfying woman's curiosity, and who could
see further into a millstone than any one
else of our party.
Every one was satisfied that the old lady
was correct, as thcy witnessed the hugs and
busses" on the give and take principle, and
saw the surviving relatives climbing into

the new couple t" seat, and the cars rolled
swiftly away. The first parting had been

and the loved ones there could be seen

to the groom and bride.

have if you wish-nice bed and falling cur
tains," said the conductor.
The bride blushed, dropped her ewes mo-
ment. and then looked into the face of her

The Norwich Comm Bulletin illus.
trates the wisdom of the financial system
of unlimited paper expansion, entailed
upon the country by the Republican
party, very forcibly, ia the following par.
agraph, showing somc interesting facts
for the consideration of the public, who
will be inclined, after a time, TO canvass
the actual value of the promises to pay
put forth By the banking institutions d
tho country. We direct attention to this
startling statement taken from q Repub.
lican paper:
A sudden resumption of specie pay.
ments would find our banking institutions
in an unpleasant ~predicament. Very few
of them have any specie at all in their
vaults, and most of them having only
enough to swear by, or for the directors
to use as pocket pieces. Il Rasbeen sug.
gestcd that in view Of the ultimate return
TO specie payments, the banks should
begin to fortify themselves with gold for
that purpose. The condition OF the banks
in Massachusetts, is an example, we pre-.
sumo, of the condition of affairs in the
other States. There are at present in
Massachusetts, one hundred and sixty-two
banks outside of the city of Boston, hav.
ing a capital of thirty-seven millions Of
dollars. Their loans are s~eventy-six
millions; their circulation and deposits
f~orty-nine millions, "but their specie il
only n hundred and sixty.one thousand,
being less than an average Of one thous.
aud dollars for each bank. Twenty-nine
of them report no spccie;' twenty-five
have less than y hundred, ninety-two
less than n thousand, and but nine oil
them have over Ave thousand. Three OF
these banks report less than five dollars,
having just enough to swear by. The
forty-fve banks in Boston make q little
better show, for they are supposed to be
repositories of the specie of the country
banks; but with a capital Of ~forty-two
millions, aud circulation and deposits of
sixty millions. they show but six hundred
and twenty-one thousand dollars in specie,
while their loans are ninety-two millions.
Ninc report no specie, and six less than
one thousand dollars, The banks of New
York, with a capital Of seventy-four mill
ions, circulation and deposits one hundred
and ninety-four millions, and loans Of one
hundred and lightweight millions have
less than nine millions in SPECIE
