TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH 10, 1868.

I praeticed eye in ihe finished specimen.
The production Of a chrome. ifit is at
all complicated, requires several months
sometimes several yoars-of careful
preparation The mere drawing of the
different and entirely detached parts on
so many different stones is Of itself a
work that requires an amount u labor
aud a degree of skill, which, TO per
son unfamiliar with the process, would
appear incredible Still moro difi-
cult. aad needing still greater skill, ia
the process d coloring. This demands
a knowledge which artists have hither-
70 almost exelusiyely monopolized, and
IN addition ioit, the practical familiarity
of a printer with mechanical details
Drying and "registerir Z" are as i'm
portant branches OF the art Of making
chromos as drawing and coloring. On
proper registering, for example, the on
tire possibility of producing a picture
at every stage Of its progress depends
Registering is that part of the press
mans work which consists in SO arrang-
ing the paper in the press, that it shall
receive the impression on exactly the
same spot of every sheet. In book
work, each page must be exactly oppo-
site the page printed on the other side
of the sheet, in order that the impress
sion, if on thin paper may not show
through la newspaper work this is
of less Importance, and often is not at
tended with any special Importance.
But in chromo-lithography the differ
ence Of hairs breadth would spoil
picture for it would hopelessly mix up
the colors.
After the chrome has passed through /
the press, it is embossed and vanished, /
and then put up for the market
These final processes are for the pur-
pose of breaking the glossy light, and I
)f softening the hard outlines which
,he picture receives from the stone,
which imparts to it the resemblance of
a painting on canvas.

The OLD COPPER Com OF VERMONT.
Rev PGney II. White writes to the His
orical Magazine "In Vermont the
oinage of money took place at later
,eriod than in any of the other States.
This was not quite necessity, but it
vas result of that sturdy indepen-
lence which characterized all the move
uents of the green mountain Boys.
tefused admlttance to the Union, they
cit perfectly assured that if the United
States could do without them, they
ould do without the United States
regard to money as in regard to all
hings else In 1785 the Legislature
,ranted Reuben Harmon, Jr., of Ru-
lcrt, the exclusive right of coming cop
Jer money within the State for two
ears. He had already made prepera-
ions for coming, and would perhaps
lave engaged in the business as pri-
late enterprise, as others had done in
)ther States, but the Legislative appro-
)riation and exclusive privilege were
worth having He was required to
give bonds in the sum of five thousand
pounds, and to make no coin weighing
less than third of an ounce Troy.
His establishment is described by the
historian Of Rupert in the Vermont
Quarterly Gazette, as follows His
mint was located in the northeasterly
part OF the town, little east Of the
main road leading from Dorset to Paw
let, on small stream Of water called
Mill Brook, which empties into Pawlet
River 1t was a small building, about
sixteen by eighteen feet, made ofrough
materials, simply clapboarded, unplain-
ed and unpainted. At the east end
was the furnace for melting the copper
and machinery for rolling the bars in
the middle of the room the machinery
for cutting and at the west end, that
for stamping. The latter was done by
means of an iron screw attached to
heavy timbers above, and moved by
hand with the aid OF ropes. Sixty
coppers per minute could be stamped,
thirty was the usual number.
The mint building is still standing
1851, but its location is entirely chan
ged, having long since been removed TO
Lhe edge of the adjoining town of Paw
let where it is now used as corn
house
In 1856 the Legislature granted Har-
non an extension Of his privilege for
sight years from July. 1857, allowing
lim the first three years without com
9eEsation, requiring him to pay into
he treasury of the State two and
lalf per cent Of all that he should coin
lurlng the remainder of the term.
The weight Of the coins was fixed az
our pennyweights fifteen grains each.
Harmon then went into the business
largely, taking nine other
'ersons into partnership and carrying
"a Gn establishment IN Ulster County
!. l., as well a. in Rupert As there
re no coins e1tant of later date than
1so, 1t may be presumed that the
business was not continued much. If

treasury was neser any richer for the

How CHBoMos ARE MADE. E.-Chromo-
hthography is the art of printing Of
pictures from stone in colors. The
most difficult branch of it which is now
generally implied when chromos are
spoken offs the art of reproducing
OIL paintings. When a chrome is made
by competent hand it is an exact
counterpart of the original painting,
with'the delicate gradations of tints and
shades, and with much of the spirit and
tone OF production OF the brush and
pallet
To understand how chromos are
made, the art Of lithography must first
be briefly examined. The stone used
IN llthographing is a species of lime
stone found in Bavaria, and is wrought
INTO thick slabs with finely polished
surface. The drawing is made upon
the slabs with sort of colored SOAP
which adheres to the stone, and enters
into chemical combination with il af-
ter the application of certain acids and
gums When the drawing is complete,
the slab is put on the press, and care
fully dampned with asponge. The oil
color (or 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, re-
pels the water, but retains the color ap-
piled. 1t is thus that, without a raised
suface or incision-as in common print
ing, wood cuts and steel engrasings-
hthography produces printed drawings
from a perfectly smooth stone.
In chrome, the first proof is light
ground tint, covering nearly all the sur
face. 1t has only a faint shadowy re-
semblance to the completed picture.
1t is IN fact rather shadow than an
outline. The next proof, from the
second stone, contains all the shades
OF another color. This process is re-
peated again and again aud again oc-
caslonally, as often as thirty times.
The number Of Impressions, however.
does not necessarily indicate the pun
Der OF colors in painting, because the
coiors and tints aie greatly multiplied
10y combinations created in the process
OF printing one over another. In twen-
ty-hys impressions, it is sometimes
necessary and possible to produce a
hundred distinct shades, Tie last I'M
preston is made by an engraved stone,
which produces that resemblance to
canvass noticible in all of the finer
specimens. English and German cbro-
mos, as rule, do not attempt to give
this delicate final touch, although II
would seem TO be essential in order 10
make perfect imitation Of painting
The paper used is white, heavy plate
paper Of tbs best quality, which has to
pass through beary press, sheet bv
sheet, before It's surface is fit to receive
IN impression.
The process thus briefly explained, we
heed hardly add, requires equally great
skiii and judgement at every stage. A
ilugle error is instantly detected by the
