Paint for Brick Houses,

correspondent of the Ohio Farmer has used a
cheap and very durable paint for the exterior of
brick dwellings, which has already stood several
years, and is now quite fresh as when first ap-
piled. 1t consists simply of limewash with sui
phate eff zinc as fixing ingredient. ANY re-
quisite shade is given by adding the colors used
by house painters clear and rich cream color
may be obtained by applying yellow ochre TO the
commOnHew brick-a livelier and warmer shade
will be added by little Venetian red Burnt
sinus may likewise be used. This paint is far
cheaper than oil paint; costs but little more than
common whitewash and nothing will remove it
but the severest friction

NEWPORT, R. l., August 27-I:so A. NJ.
The pomp and splendor of an evening 70.
ception to General Grant by the permanent
and temporary residents OF Newport has not
been realized. 1t is now past one O'Clock in
the morning and the City of Peking, bearing the
Presidential party, has not been signalled. She
was expected at about ten O'Clock, ana all New
port was on the Qit utve to participate in hearty
and enthusiastic Executive welcome.
The late train from Boston brought score oc
Massachusetts dignitares including Governor,
Talbot and his military stan, several members or
the Executive Council and even the irre.
presstbe Frank Bird, Grants old oppo.
nent and Horace Greeley's steadfast iriend
during the last Presidential campaign. Besides
these there are also present Governor Curtin, OF
Hampshire and several others or more or less nS~
tlonal renown.
Until nearly midnight anxious thronRs paced
the corridors Of the Ocean House anxiously await
ing the signals from Block Island, but finally ex.
hausted nature overcame Executive enthusiasm
in the arrival OF the steamer occasione6
some uneasy feelings among the friends OF the
party on board and few whispered their fears
OF possible accident, but 1t IS to be hoped that
upon the rising OF the sun to-day the coOrs OF tho
Peking will be proudly floating in the Newport
harbor.
1t Is arranged that the Executive party win
leave here for Martha's Vineyard at half.psst
