DIRECTIONS FOR CALCIMINING.

Buy the best bleached glue if the walls
are to be white or some light tint (if dark
it is immaterial so the glue is clean), and
use it in the proportion of quarter Of a
pound to eight pounds of whiting. Soak
the glue over night in the morning pour
off the water, as it simply swells while
soaking. Add fresh water. put it in a
pail, and set that in kettle of boiling
water. When dissolved stir it into the
whiting, adding enough water to make it.,
after mixing, Of the same consistency as
common whitewash. 1t may be tinted
any color, and applied with whitewash
brush. If the color is rubbed smooth in
in little water and then mixed with the
wash it will be more even. If the walls
have been previously whitewashed scrape
away all that will come off, and wash
with a solution of white vitriol-
ounces in pail of water. The yitriol
will be decomposed, forming zinc white,
and plaster of Paris, to which the calcim.
lining easily adheres. It is important to
dissolve the glue in hot water bath, for

To show how clear headed Mr.. Childs
is, my nephew says that only once in
twenty. years. has the poet made q mis-
take in sex. He once sent Jane to meet
his grandmother. But that day he had
written two hundred and thirty eight
stanzas, and was somewhat torn up.

cheapness of half-ripened fruit, exhausted
all the verses he had on hand, without
regard to the pigeon-hole. But Childs
forced himself into the mood and finish

went to press to satisfy ali the mourners

over to the next day. The strain upon
him during this run was terrific.
My nephew says that Mr.. Childs per-

A TELLING PLEA.

"Gentlemen of the jury" said an elo.
quent Nevada lawyer one afternoon not
long ago, my client is accused of having
torn this rack from the wall of q humble
dwelling which she rented, intending to
injure the wall-hook upon it, gentlemen.
(Here the attorney, with grand gesture,
drew from under the table strip of inch
board, with two broken hat.hooks upon
it, and nails driven in the place which
more hat.hooks should occupy.) Gaze
upon it, gentlemen of the jury, gaze upon
it, and then turn your eyes upon my CHI
ent. Closing my eyes (the berry orbs of
the attorney remained wide open), I see
in fancy little child, the roses of her
cheeks deepened by darker tinge, i'm

fathers veins ripened under the scorch.
ing sun of Africky. Gladly and merrily
her childish laugh rings out upon the
balmy air of glorious southern morning.
a lovely maiden appears to my vision.
Though slave, yet is she beautiful as
the first early glancings Of the morning
sun; coy, modest, and beloved. Anon
she is wife. see her dandling or her
knee the fruit of virtuous love. A home
grows up around her, and the matron' s
grace adds new beauty to her charms.
Here is a picture of peace, joy, and con-
tentment. A dark and sombre cloud fits
athwart the sun-laden landscape of life.
War, hideous, blasting, desolating war
blows her breath upon the scene, and all
is changed. Years Of blood and carnage

was the joyous child, the blooming maid,
the happy wife, is widow Here at our
doors she comes. Her humble home is
with u.s. Children cry for food, and the
wayfarer reads on the easement of the
cot, washing and ironing done here.
Gentlemen of the jury, as Husbands and
fathers, as men with loving, sentient
souls, 1 ask, can you believe that she, my
client, could be guilty of tearing down
that hat-rack? No; will not do you
the injustice to believe it. The case is
yours to decide" They brought her in
guilty.

the falling off Of immigration and tho

Judgment of the commissioner there will
be steady diminution in the future in
this class of entries, because in the locali-
ties most desirable for such settlements,
on account Of the fertility of the soil and
character of the climate, the lands have
largely passed to private ownership. The
building of railroads has induced settle
ment to the full limit, and perhaps be-
yond it, of profitable marketing Of pro-
ducts. The purchase of the land in pri-

by the lack of desirable land for settle
