OUTSIDE WALLS. Finishing the out
side walls of houses with stucco work is
becoming quite popular in the West,
and we think if the method we're intro
duced in Memphis many houses that
now look rough and gloomy would look
neat aud pretty. Stuoco is thus pre-
pared: The grouting being mixed
should be divided into small portions
and allowed to remain for few days,
and then, when thoroughly mixed into
the condition of soft putty, be spread
upon the plain walls in thick coat
The surface should next be thoroughly
travelled down, and before it is quite
dry another coat should be applied and
also we'll worked down. The durability
ef the stucco can be improved by the
use of several preparations, many of
which are expensive. The cheaper
processes consist in the use of good
hydraulic cement and clean sand mixed
IN proper proportions ana IN such uans
titles that it may all be laid on before
it has time to set. The sand should be
dried and mixed in the proportion Of one
part Of cement to two parts Of sand by
measure. The sand should not be packed,
but thrown loosely in the measure.
Sugar-water is also recommended in
mixing the Ingredients, the proportions
being about one pound of coarse sugar
to eight gallons of water. Pulverized
marble mixed and worked with the lime
and plaster is another ingredient highly
spoken Of, and coating Of good boiled
linseed oil, laid on after the stueco is
dry, is said to give it strength. Now
who among US will have their ostside
walls stuccoed2 Spring is approaching,
and We ought to commence identifying
our places.

RAILROAD CARS No UsE.-Slreet rail-
road cars will be of but little value here
after, as new invention called the
steam velocipede is likely to take their
places. The cylinders of this wonderful
machine are placed vertically in front Of
the boiler, between it and the geat, and
connect with cranks on the shaft of the
driving wheels, which, two in number,
are situated on the front part Of the car
riage. The engine is direct-acting
compound engine of two cylinders, each
cylinder "a inches diameter and 5 inches
stroke. The steering gear consists of an
endless chain working over grooved
wheel on the axle of the driving wheels,
and passing over corresponding wheel,
fixed between the forked shaft just over
the single steering wheel, which in this
instance is in the rear of the carriage.
The latter grooved wheel is wide one,
and over it passes another chain, which
works around the boss of the front wheel.
This arrangement gives power to the
steering wheel, SO that in turning a cor
ner it takes wider sweep than the
two driving wheels, which 20 first. In
travelling on q straight road the machine
is turned to either side by turning the
steering wheel to the opposite side. The
boiler is vertical one, with four tubes
inches internal diameter, hanging down
by the sides of the FIRE box. The FIRE
crate is cast with four poles in it to re-
ceive the bottom ends of the tubes, so as
to help to hold them firmly. Hight Of
boiler, 2 feet inches; hight of fire
box, Is inches; diameter of fire box, IL
inches; diameter of boiler, Ia inches.
The fire box and tubes are copper, pres
sure 200 pounds to the square inch, but
it is asserted that q pressure of rs pounds
of steam will give power equal to the
force necessary to propel velocipede by
the feet. We EXPECT one in Memphis in
a few days.

AsH-WEDYEsDAY.-T is the first day
of Lent, and is called Ash-Wednesday
from the custom of the early Christian
Church to sign its members on their fore
heads with the ashes of palms, to remind
them that they are but dust, and unto
dust they shall return" The object of
the church, according to the most ancient
tradition, in establishing Lent is to in
struct her children in way to prepare
them to celebrate the resurrection of
Christ. 1t is time of charity, sobriety,
piety and repentance, when all are taught
to fast spiritually by avoiding sin, COM
batting bad habits and restraining wicked
passions. There will be services every
Wednesday, we believe, in the Episcopal,
and almost every day in the Catholic,
Churches during the holy season.

ing was worn by Miss q. Billay, Of Ken
iucky--a Persian Princess-amber-col
ored satin underskirt; red satin bodice,
braided with gold pearl ornaments; blue
trousers, spangled with gold red urban.
Her dress was very nearly perfect-she
only required the pointed shoe.

ers. Her dress was tasty in the extreme :
pink silk, white thule and lace, decked
with flowers.
Mrs. Mathews: green silk dress, lace
overdress.

Highland peasant.

1t is utterly impossible to do justice tc
the scenes and costumes. All were neal
perfect; but now, alas, the carnival ii

must fade, the brightest still the feetest.'
Now for forty days Of quietness and
fasting, when, no doubt, we will all meet
again in that hospitable hall-till then
deserted.
