APPLIED SCIENCE.

PREPARATION or FRENCH CHMK.-The substance
generally known ss French chalk, used by tailors
for making marks upon cloth, is manufactured by
rubbing ultramarine, ochre, &c. according to the
color desredl with pipe-cIay sOftened with water
The mixture is then poured into molds and dried in
a slightly heated room.

LEATHER GLUE.-A substance known as Leather
glue" is prepared by mixing ten parts of sulpbide of
carbon with one of oil of turpentine, and adding
enough gutta-perohs TO thicken the mass. The
leather surfaces to be united must be freed from oil
which is accomplished by subjecting them to
pressure by laying the leather upon botting paper
and applying hot iron After tracking together the
edges TO be joined with the cement they are to be
kept under pressure until the glue is entirely dry.

NEW PROCESS FOR PRESERVING MEAT.-AccOrd-
ing to The London AteRGum, Mr. Marietta has lately
been calling attention to process for preserv-
ing meat fresh. This consists in dipping the fresh
meat into melted butter and then packing it in salt.
The examination of the specimens furnished by him
is said 10 have been quite satisfactory but in the
opinion of The AAeH@un. it does not differ essen
tally from that of dipping the meat in parafiine,
which answered for temperate climate, but failed
in tropical region.

IMPROVED ELASTIC BANDs.-The ordinary elias

lose their elasticity in short time by ac-
ton of the atmospheric but bands free from
this defect and at tie same time more elegant ana
stronger, are made at no greater cost by causing
two strips of CLOTH previously coated on the inner sur

out the least inquiry or criticism. A stable
was erected to suit caprice of the Presi-
dent costing nearly $4,000. for which not
dollar was ever granted by Congress.
This large sum of money was boldly taken
from the fund which had been voted for the
erection Of the new Department of state.
II such an abuse is tolerated in Il notorious
and illgrant case like this. of course there
ss no hesitation i'm others icss conspicuous
and where concealment ia easier.
1t is well known that Gen. GRANT saved
nearly onc-hnf his pay under the old sys-
tenn, which of itself is sufficient to answer
all the false pretCnces for doubling II.
Except by wlful extravaganza, there isno
occasion to spend his official income, To-
say nothing of his private revenue. He
has never exceeded Sli,ODO of outlay in II
single year. When flunkies ami corrup-
Ii onists talk about maintaining the dig
nifty Of the Presidency" they measure it
by their own vulgar ideas of big diamonds,
coarse display, fast horses, and other
tokens of similar taste. The traditional
and real dignity OF that great office is
something which they have yet to apprc-
ciatc.
Until Mr.. IoAR and his associates can
approach this question with clean hands;
until they have rebukcd the plundereIs
10y returning to the Treasury what was
stolen from IL; and until they are pre-
pared to hold up the President to public
condem nation for his active private part
in and for his official approval of this
swindle, they are in no condition to assail
BrrLER for introducing and advocating it.
They and he are alike guilt y. II is only a
difference of degree in crime that separates
them; and of the two parties BUTLER is

Dishonesty IN the Post omcc.

We learn from Col. FoRNEY's Press that
the cinbezzlemcnts OF BRyCE MCLELG\N,
lately chief postal clerk between New
York and Washington, reach the sum Of
$4,000; and that after his roll llberics had
been detected he was permitted by Post
mastered eneral CREswELL to resign, al
though forty letters puIloned from the

presidcntinI prOnrictY.

Up to the advent of GTantsm all the
Presidents of the United states set the cx-
ample IN their own persons OF fidelity to
duty. They may have erred in political
opinions according To our ideas: some may
have been extreme and dogmatic in their
policy. and Others may have fallen below
the elevation at which the Chief Magis-
tracy Of the republic was first set and loug
maintained. But in the discharge OF their
"'eutSGToN =" to LIN
official trusts from
COILS there was no exception IN respect of
care. attention and sclf-1hncgation. Gen
GRANr is tine first President who ever ven
turcd to abandon the capital, where his
residence IL established by law, and To
throw aside all regard for the proprictirs
of the office which he occupies by pro-
loug.d sojouru elsewhere for his own
pleasure.
Flagraut as ha- been his offence in every
public aspect, his iunkctlng tour in New
England, in view of a recent evcut, is well
calculated TO shock every rejecting mind.
Only Il few weeks ago he was summoned
o. the dcgthhed of his aged father, but
failed to reach Cuvugton III time fer those
sacred offices which every true man
oher.shes rs II part of his better nature.
When the last ceremonies were over he
fastened back TO Long Branch, and soon
after started to fulhl Il social cngagcmer
with Mr.. BLAINE and others, - AZ the most
ordinary ohscrvances of decorum did not
forbid compliance with any such invita-
tion.
There are accepted conventional laws,
founded upon re.p"ct for the memory OF
the dead and on supposed affection III the
close ties Of blood. which are universal IN
every civilized community. Religion has
consecrated them without respect 10 creed.
Even the barbarian in his rude nature pays
tribute To- this beautiful sentiment. II is
the tender touch of humanity that makes
maukud kindred.
When the President under such clrcuu.
stances ignores houored usagcs, deiles as
OF on an excursion with no other object
than personal enjoyment, he invites crti-
ci>m, and ought 10 be condemned for con.
duct unbccoming Christian or a man oi
proper feeling. No one however humll,
can violate sanctiiiod ohscrVHnCts with i'm.
punity. II the President is not the FIRST
gentleman, he Is al all events the first
officer of the republic, and in that capa
city is bound at least to assume virtue il
he has il not. There i, no father who vii
not feel this outrage, and no proper sol
who will not rebuke II.

sufficient to remedy the evils Of which the

Gov. PALaEH and Gov. DooTH are both
agreed on one point, ana that is that for
all public grievances the people have the
remedy in their own hands. II they do
not wish to be robbed they must elect
honest men TO Office. "If," said Gov.

people can have honest men in Office if
they want them, hut they never will until
they want them badly enough to select
them" These are plain truths which it
would be well for farmers and all other
classes to heed. In this country We have
the privilege of choosing our own rulers,
and just so long rs we elect men To office
who are active or passive instruments in

There is discord in the happy family OF
Mas,aChu uset l.. Although BUrIER has the
support of the Administration through All
ITS oric cholders, and the favor of the
Presidents name, which, like the King,
Is n tower of strength still he encounters
stern resistance among the old Bourbon
R'pu bli,aus. who have boldly uufurlcl
