How Chromes are made.

Chromo-Lithography is the art of
printing pictures from stone, in colors.
The most difficult branch of it-which
is now generally implied when chromos
are spoken offs the art of reproduc-
ing oil paintings. When a chrome is
made by a competent hand, it presents
an exact counterpart of the original
painting, with the delicate gvadations
of tints and shades, and with much of
the spirit and tone Of production of
the brush and pallet. -u1ar.. esa
To understand how chromos are made
the art of lithography must first be
briefly explained. The stone used in
lithogrsphing is species of limestone
found in Bavaria, and is wrought into
thick slabs with finely polished surface.
The drawing is made upon the slab
with sort of colored soap, which adj
heres to the stone, and enters into
chemical combination with it after the
application of certain acids and gums.
When the drawing is complete, the
slab is put on the press, and carefully
dampened with sponge. The oil
color Tor ink) is then applied with
common printers roller. Of course,
the parts of the slab which contain no
drawing, being wet, resist the ink +; while
the drawing itself, being oily, repels
the water, but retains the color applied.
1t is thus that, without raised surface
or incision-as in common printing,
wood-cuts, and steel engravings-litho-
graphy produces printed drawings from
a perfectly smooth stone.
In a chrome, the first proof is light
grouud-tint covering nearly all the sur
face. 1t has only faint, shadowy re-
semblance to the completed picture. 1t
is in fact rather shadow than an out
line. The next proof, from the second
stone, contains all the shades of another |
color. This process is repeated again |
and again and again; occasionally, as
often as thirty times We saw one
proof, in visit to Mr.. Praug's establish
ment-a group of cattle,-that had |
passed through the press twelve times;
and it still bore greater resemblance
to spoiled colored photograph than to
the charming picture which it subse-
quently became. The number of i'm
pressions, however, does not necessari-
ly Indicate the number of eolors in a |
painting, because the colors and tints
are greatly multiplied by combinations

God give ye merry Cbristmas-tide,

The sparkling tree, while in the dance
Old age and youth unite.

fishing together. After whipping the
brook awhile, they became separated,
and the daughter returned home with
out any fish Leaving her fishing tackle
in the yard, hungry fowl spied the
baited hook, and incontinently swallow
ed il, which, of course, cost biddy her
life. The Doctor, having been unsuc-
cessfuI as a sportsman, was about this
time returning home, when he found
that his horse, which had been left by
the roadside, had broken loose as was
ant to be the case when fastened by
his mastet, and it was only by some
effort that the animal was captured
again. As the Doctor entered the
house, Miss Catharine said: " Well,
father, what have you eaught?'

grufly. "What have you caught"
"a hem" was the equally brief reply.

JUDSON L. MILLS, of South Carolina,
was judge of district court in North
ern Texas, fond ola joke, but very de-
cided in his discharge of duty. Thomas
Fannin Smith was a practicing lawyer
at the bar, and having shamefully mis-
stated the law in his address 10 the jury,
turned to the Court and asked the Judge
I to charge the jury accordingly. The
judge was indignant, and replied:
"Does the counsel take the Court to be
q fool?"
Smith was not abashed by the reproof,
but instantly responded,
IL trust your honor will not insist on
an answer to that question. as l might,
in answeringit, truly be considered guilty
of contempt OF court.
"Fine the counsel ten dollars, Mr..
Clerk" said the Judge.
Smith Immediately paid the money.
and remarked il was ten dollars more
than the Court could show.
"Fine the counsel fifty dollars" said
! the judge.
The fine was entered by the clerk,
and Smith, not being ready to respond
in that sum, sat down. The next morn
! ing, on the opening of the court, Smith
arose, and with much deierence of man.
ner began:
"Nlay it please your honor, the clerk
| took that little joke of yours yesterday
about the fifty dollars as serious, as 1
| perceive from the reading of the minutes.
/ VIII your honor be pleased to inform
him of his error, and have it erased?"
| The coolncss of the request and the
. implied apology pleased the judge, and
he remitted the fine.
