Lucchesl-Palli. After the ceremony the
Pope celebrated mass and himself admins

MISCELLANEOUS.
Some of the most distinguished Presby-
terrain ministers of the country have issued
circular, addressed ''to the churches OF
Christ organized on Presbyterian principles
throughout the world Their notion Is to
call a grand Presbyterian ecumenical
council. Churches of the Presbyterian
family, the address says, are found, though
under variety of names, in Europe, IN
America, in Australia and in the mission
helds OF Asia and Africa. If these could be
regarded "a one communion, they would
constitute. perhaps, the largest Protestant
church IN the world. But, at present,
they are united by no visible bond. either
OF fellowship or of work OF late, however,
1t has occurred simultaneously to number
oil minds IN different countries. that those
who hold to the Presbyterian form OF church
government may, in perfect consistency
with their well-knOwn and general interest
IN all the branches of the church universal,
inquire for some way of coming into formal
communion with each other and OF promo
ting great causes by joint action.

EDS. COUNTRY GENrLKxAN.-The Oldest
resident of Northern New-Epgland will
recollect the great snow storm OF May 18th,
1884. Since the LIST of April the weather
had been peculiar cold, blue and gloomy,
quite dry neither rain, snow, nor sun
shine the heavens were overcast with
dark brown haze. which the sun, at times.
in vain attempted TO dissipate. But little
spring work had been done, and the farmer,
and everything about him, looked blue.
Snow commenced falling just before sunrise,
quite moderately at first (wind northeast),
but soon increased. was then in the en-
ploy of the F. Brothers, just south of the
4ith degree of north latitude in Vermont.
We had previously turned flock of sheep
and lambs on pasture about three-fourths
ola mile from the barn. Immediately after
breakfast, four of US started for the pasture
to bring them up. Before reaching the
barns, the snow had become 50 deep that
the strongest sheep could not wade in 1t
two of Us would 20 before the sheep and
tread down the snow, while the Others
would bring up the lambs. ltrequired two
hours of hard labor, but we brought them
all in safely.
About noon the wind came round into the
northwest, the snow still falling rapidly
at p. IN. the wind rose, and soon increased
to gale, which piled the snow in noun
tain drifts. The snow storm ceased about A
p. m. but the wind continued to blow till
near sunset. The clouds in the meantime
had all passed over, and before shutdown
not vestige of the storm remained. except
the white sheet Of snow, fully fifteen inches
deep, which everywh here covered the ground
The sight. if not cheerful one, was GER
tainly magnificent the snow was as dry as
that of mid-winter. and the wind had piled
it in many places six and eight feet deep.
The wind had ceased the sun, which had
nearly reached the summer solstice, looked
down smlingly on this waste of snow.
Warm and clear weather succeeded, and in
about three days all had disappeared. How |
extended was this storm, have no means of |
bat on the Green Mountains, and |
in the northern portions of Vermont. it fell |
more than Is inches deep. This storm was /
not without its uses, for fruit and forest |
trs e. had for several years been infested with /
millions of caterpillars, which had serious
" damaged our fruit and in many places 1
had stripped the forest of its leaves. The /
summer Of 1884 was a fruitful one. Wheat
and oats sowed after tins date made full
crops the corn and fruit cron were also
good.
Snow has sometimes fallen later in the
season than the 18th of May, in New Eng
and, but never, | believe, in such quaint
ties have a faint recollection Of having,
n my early childhood, seen snow in the
month of June. On the llth ofJune, 1872.

ART NOTES.

The funeral of Kaulbach, the celebrated
German painter, took place at Munich,
without any priest or representative of the
Church. Some two hundred students from
the Academy formed a profession with
lighted candles, headed by band of music.
A few words from one of the professors over
the grave terminated the ceremony. kaul-
bach was a Protestant, and wished to be
buried in the above manner.
Gov Hoffman writes from Paris that

Fresco painting is 50 called because ex-
ecuted with water colors upon fresh plaster.
This plaster Is made Of Stacked lime and
fine sand. and is applied upon coating
rough enough to make it adhere to it. The
fresco needs wall from materials tinetured
with saltpetre, and the colors must be such
as the lime does not change. When the
artist has polished and made very smooth
the surface to be painted, he traces upon it
the previously prepared composition. The
designs, Of the size Of the picture, are called
cartoons. because prepared upon large
sheets of paper glued together. Upon the
damp wall the drawing Is traced with
point of ivory or wood, or the contour Of the
drawing i pricked with pin and tampon
dipped in charcoal passed along the lines of
the holes, which fixes the design on the
plaster. Afterward the artist follows the
tracing with a sharp-pointed pencil or
STYLUS. and this indelible contour l. called
the nail offhc tresco. The tracing made,
the artist must write his thought with
sure. prompt hand, without hesitation,
without change Of purpose. As long a the
plaster j. fresh, the carbonate Of lime takes
up the coloring matter, envelopes 1t, forms
upon it, surface true crystallizatlon like
''rnish. perfectly translucent and without
sensible thickness. which protects the fresco
from all external causes OF destruction. The
