FORTUNATE ACCIDENTS.

The cracking Of a picture in the sun
shine set Van Eyck experimenting to pro
duce a Varnish that would dry in the shade.
He found what be sought, and found be
sides that by mixing It with his own cOlOrs
they acquired greater force and brilliapcy,
and required 10 subsequent vanishing;
-afsd 80 came about the discovery, or redis-
cOyerv Of the art Of painting IN oil. MeZ-
zOtintO owed its invention by Prince Ru-
pert TO the simple accident Of a sentTy'S
gun-barTel bling Tusted in the dew.
Henry SchanWard, a Nuremburg glass
cutter, happened 70 let some aqua
FORTS fallt upon his SpectacleS,
and noticed the glass was corrOded
and soficned where the aquafOrtis had
touched il. Taking the hint, he made
liquid accordingly; he drew some figures
upon a piece Of glass, covered them with
yarn,sh, and applied his cOrrOding fluid,
cut away the glass around bis drawing so
that when he removed the varnish the
figures appeared raised upon dark ground,
and etching upon glass was added to the
ornamental arts. AlOis Senefelder, play
wright and actor, thinking it possible to
etch upon stone in lieu Of copper, polished
a slab TOR the purpose. He was disturbed by
his mOther coming into his small laOOratO-
~ with the request that he would jOt down
her list Of things for the wash, IS the
woman was waiting to take the basket
away. There being no paper or inkhandy,
Senefelder scribbled the items on his stone
with his etching preparation, that he might
COPY them at his leisure. Some time after
ward, when about TO clean the stone, he
thought he might as well see what would ee
the effect Of biting the stone with aquatOr-
tbs, and i'm a few moments saw the writing
standing out in relief. Taking up a pelt-
ball charged with printing ink, he linked
the stone, took OH few impressions upon
paper, and had invented lithOgTaphy. The
peit-ball used by Senefelder was long in
dispensable i'm printing Office. A SalOpian
printer, in a hurry to get on with job,
could rot find his ball, and linked the form
with a piece Of soft glue that had fallen out
Of the glue pot, and with such excellent
results that he hencefoIth discarded the
pelt-ball altogether, and by adding treacle
TO tie glue, to keep ii from hardening, hit
upon tie composition Of which printers
rollers have been made ever since.

Final Action and Adjournment
of the Democratic State
Convention.
Cassius NJ. Clay Out for the DEM
Ocratic Ticket.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May THE Ken
tucky Democratic Convention adjourned
this afternoon, after nominating JnO. G.
Underwood, of Bowling Green, for Lieut.
enant Governor; Thos. E. Moss, of
Padueah, for Attorney General; d. How
ard Smith for Auditor, and j. w. Tate for
Treasurer.
The following report Of the Committee
on Resolutions was unanimously adopted ::
We hold it 10 be absolutely essential to
the preservation Of the liberties of the citi-
zens that the several States shall be main
tanned in all their rights, dignity and equal
ity, as the most complete and Telia-
ble administration of their own domestic
concerns, and the sureSt guarantee against
anti-Tepublicant tendencies. Every attempt
on the part of the Federal Government TO
exercise a power not delegated TO it in the
Constitution, or TO exercise a delegated
power in a manner not therein prescribed,
is an act OF usurpatiOn demanding the in
slant and unqualified condemnation Of a
people jealous of their Liberties; and We
hold that any unconstitutional Interference
by the General Government with the
local affairs of any State, to
any extent or on any pIetence
whatever, should be at once repudiated and
condemned by all classes Of every section
of the Union, as all such acts tend directly
TO the destruction of our Federal system,
and the consolidation Of all power in cen
tralized despOtism.
A notable feature Of the convention was
the active participation Of the venerable
Cassius NJ. Clay, who pledged himself to
canvass the state for the Democratic
ticket.

A PARTISAN STOCKING MANIA.

The fancy feminine trOtters on the Paris
boulevards have got out a new stock Of
stockings, entirely different from anything
Of the kind up 10 our days. All in the
color. They are now Of all shades, from
white cream TO black, through straw yellow
10 lemon, which latter passes for charming;
but the cbarmer Of all is black, the
great novelty and the most varied in de
signs. One might suppose blonde hair,
fair complexion, white dress and black
stockings would i'm reality be q little in
bad taste. Not for Paris women. The
undecided shades, looking so soft and in
sipid, have also a great run in the stocking
line. Well, now, follow the mode well
and you will see that all these cOlOsed
stockings are not 10 BE- owned BY them
selves, for the law DEGREES: ITO wear these
stockings without cOncealiug them, bot
tines have been cut down with three open
ings, held up by buttons or bows on the
three sides, and are almost perpendicular
on high Louis XIV. heels" Holy Inquisi-
tion was a shade less hard on feet; butthen
again Dame Fashion foregOes no torture TO
cut a swell and will show EN- around gem
erally. The next time Bismarck goes 70
Paris he intends to crumple up the BOule-
wards and learn the people to milk cows
