Carl Schurz.

On the 9th inst, Senator Schurz address
ed letter TO Senator Thurman, stating
frankly that he could not consent to be re-
garded as a representative of the Democrat
ic party. He says that the Cincinnati
platform represents substantially his polit-
ical faith, and he'shall faithfully work for
the measures laid down in that platform.
If the administration does anything to pro-
mote those ends he shall therein support
it, whatever it may do. In the opposite
direction he would earnestly oppose it, and
his whole course towards the administra-
tion will be governed by his sense of duty,
regardless of party interests. Therefore,
while thanking the Democrats for placing
him on the committee on foreign relations,
representative of the party. Senator
Thurman replied that he is instructed by
the Democratic Senators to say that they
understood Mr.. Schurzs position; that his
selection was nota surrender of principles
by him or them, and they see no reason
why he should not serve.

| tive in Congress.
the new apportionment, the Department
proposes adopting the following plan:
| Until the 4th of March, when the new
apportionment takes effect, the same rules
| will be followed as heretofore; thereafter,
the following rule will be observed:
When a vacancy occurs in District by
| the graduation of cadet or otherwise, it
| will be filled by nomination of the person
then representing the District. Should any

How Chromos are Made.

Probably very few, even those persons
who are generally well informed, have the
slightest conception of the various process
es by which those wonders Of modern imi-
tative art, popularity known as chromos,
are gradually developed, step by step, to a
perfection which almost defies discrimina-
ton in comparing with the original.
The picture to be copied is covered with
a transparent sheet of oiled paper, on
which tracing of every outline is made.
This outline is then transferred to itho-
graphic stone, known as the key" A
number of plates, equal to the number OF
tints desired, is next prepared, and an inn
preston from the key is printed on each.
With the original before him the artist
fills in with a crayon such portions of the
outline on each plate as he wishes to have
reproduced the particular shade assigned
to it.
The untouched portions of the plate are
then covered with peculiar preparation,
and galvanic bath, nicely governed,
does the work of an engraver, but does it
a hair, and finer, if necessary, than the
naked eye, can discover, = Each plate is
printed in'its turn on the paper, and every
impression must be SO adjusted to its pre-
decessors that there shall be not the slight
est variation.
When it is considered that as many as
twenty or thirty plates are often required
that some portions of tint are presery-
ed pure to the end, while others are cover
ed and affected by one or all succeeding
impressions-the marvellous skill and
knowledge of various combinations of
color required of an artist who essays to lay
out and complete the plates of a chrome.
