The "Graphic" Process.

The process of illustration used by
the Graphic Company is a secret, jeal-
ously guarded by the proprietors, and
is yet upon its trial. The rough theory
however, may lie OF interest to our read
ers. Upon a.sheet of papers is spread
a layer ofoiIy transfer ink used by the
photographers, and over that thin
layer of a Photographic preparation
which the action of light readily de-
composes. The subject of illustration
is then photographed and the negative
placed over the prepared sheet. The
action of the light passing through the
unobstucIed parts of the negative, de-
composes the surface of the sheet, and
leaves the image in sort of bas-relief.
The other portions are then removed
and the sheet laid over one of the
porous stones used by the lithograph-
ers, and subjected to pressure. The
oloaginous ink sinks into the stone
and makes, in oil as il were, outlines
of the desired picture. The stone Is
now spOnged with water, and is ready
for printing. The ink-rOller of the
press passes over it, leaving no trace
whatever on the clean IOrtions of the
surface, but coating every place where
the oIeaginOus transfer ink has touch
ed, aud printing the picture upon the
sheet of paper that follows'-RoWs

In your editorial OF Saturday last on the double

There is too much truth In your rebnke. With
all the time talent and money expended Oh
churches there is but little effort made to IN
clude the poor and ignorant Even the HERALD Il
touched with the prevailing spirit, as 1t only
recognises and gives reports in its Monday issue
of the sermons and services OF those churche,
which are frequented by the rich, and entirely
ignores the few free churches where the poor have
equal rights with the wealthy sinners The church
going portion OF the community is entirely given
up to selshness In this respect. There is differ

the chorus sweled In ono mighty burst at tho
close OF every verse

God the Protector,
