Hardening CANDLES. Mr.. T. Capic.
cioni, Of London, has effected an i'm
provement in the manufacture Of can
dies, which is highly commended for
its practical efficacy. When the tallow
for melting the candles is melted in the
kettle, about one-seyen. thousandth OF
its quantity by weight ofthe acetate OF
lead is added, and well stirred among
the whole for fifteen minutes. The heat
is then lowered, but the tallow is still
retained in liquid state, About one
thousandth part, by weight, of turpen.
tine and q little Of any Of the perfumed
resins, are then thown in and well stir
red, until the whole are thoroughly in.
c0porated togcther-this requires n
bout two hours, one hour for stirring
and one hour Of rest for the uncom.
bined impurities to settle the bottom.
The acetote of lead, it is said, has the
tendency to make the tallow hard, and
the composition is much superior for
candles than when ordinarily treated.

right, no doubt. AS for us, we cannot
see blink; the moon and the sun are Il
like to us. And for anything we know
there is no light in either, So we went

called the birds around him, and look

large sums of money, to enable the ne

The New York "Journal of Com.

ic victories compelled the Republicans
to haul their negro suffrage flag a peg
or two lower:
"Thc omissiCn of negro suffrage
from the Cooper Instiissutei resolutions
the other night Git thinks) Is very re-
markable, and, we may depend upon
it, could have been caused by nothing
less than n settled conviction that ma.
jority of the voters are hostile to il.
This is equivalent to an abandonment
Of that question as source of party
difference, and we should not be sur.
prised if the Constitutional Conven.
ton, upon reassembling, should decide
not to submit TO the popular opposi
ton an instrument containing such an
Objectionable provision as negro SUI.
fragc."
