Br0uzes Incrustes,

This is the name given to new style
of bronze OF copper work Ornamented
with gold and silver, and manufactured
by Christofie g. Co., in Paris. The Orna-
mentation is produced by etching and
electrO-plating, and consists, according
to DR.. Meidinger, in the following Ope-
ratIons:
After the object, which may be of cop
per or bronze, has received the desired
form, the drawings are made with water
colors, the body of which is white lead.
If several pieces are to have the same
design, it may be printed ON as in porce-
lain and tayence painting. Those por-
tions of the surface not painted are cov-
placed in dilute nitric acid, where the
paint is dissolved off and the surface of
the metal is etched to certain depth.
When the etching is finished, the article is
is washed with water aid Immediately
placed in q silver or gold bath, and a
layer of the precious metal deposited by
electricity on the exposed portions.
When the latter operation is finished,
the varnish is perfectly removed and the
whole surface ground or polished SO
that the ornamented portion is just even
with the remainder OF the surface. The
contours are quite sharp. The surface
Is then bronzed, which does not change
the color of the gold or silver. A spec
tally fine effect is obtained by producing
black bronze OF sulphuret OF copper on
portions of the surface between the sill
yer ornaments. A copper vessel then
has three colors, black and white draw
ings on red-brown ground of suboxide
OF copper.
This new process OF Ornamenting met
ais has been devised at ChriStOfie's works
since the Paris Exposition of 1867. Spec
linens exhibited at Vienna in 1873 show
the high degree of perfection to which it
has already been brought. Unfortunate
ly these goods are SO expensive as to be
only accessible to the few, although
much cheaper than those in which the
engraving is done by hand, and the gold
or silver inserted by mechanical means.
The production of an incrustation re-
quires high degree of manual skill and
patience, but no costly machinery. Ev.
cry brass foundry contains all the nee.
essary tools fot the mechanical opera
ti0ns.

belongs to any power except the sover-
eign will OF its own people. We are not
willing to pay anything for Cuba, be-
cause it will cost all that it is worth to
govern it.
The island is but ninety miles from us,
and is too important to us in military
and naval point Of view to permit any
other nation to. have sovereign jurisdic-
tion over it any longer than we may be
compelled to for lack of decent pretext
for seizing it..
Cuba supplies us with S7K per cent.
OF the sugar we consume, and we subject
it to duty for the benefit of few mo-
nopolist planters of Louisiana, who fur
nish but small fraction of the sugar we
use. The people could afford to give
these planters pensions equal to their
sugar incomes in order TO get foreign SUI
gar free of duty.
The duty is an outrage, and is not at
all needed for the protection Of the do
mestic production. If the cultivators
owned the land in quarter section allot
ments, as they would do had justice pre-
vailed in the past, they would not ask
for protection.
There are about 1000 slaves in Cuba,
and it has been said that the average
life of slave there is but seven years.
1t has been found more profitable to
work slaves to death in seven years and
buy others than to prolong their lives by
exemption from the labor torture. This
was before the abolition of slavery in
the United States, and of the slave trade.
The difficulty of getting supplies Of
black slaves of late years has opened the
Coolie trade, and the Coolies are now
tortured to death by labor in less time
than it formerly required to kill ne
gro.
Here may be an opening for us. II
such inhumanity is practiced on that
island directly under our national nose,
it is our duty to scent it out and attend
to it.
Besides the negro and the coolie slaves,
there are million ofpeople in Cuba who
are constantly subject to acts Of violence
and brutality, which are shocking to hu-
'manity. Hitherto our government has
aided Spain in keeping up this state of
things, hoping that the Republic when
fairly established would abolish slavery
and reduce the island to order as men,
ber of the Republic. We have believed
that the loss of Cuba by domestic revolu-
tion would SO offend the pride of the peo-
pie of Spain, that the Republican leader
would be overwhelmed and the cause be
lost. For this reason the Government
has worked against the Cuban reyolu-
tionists. There is no longer any excuse
for this policy! Let the patriots take
courage under the assurance that they
shall have fair play. Cuba must be
State OF the American Union before long.
The only problem is how to do it with
out complicating ourselves with other
powers. We have nothing to fear from
old Spain unless she get aid from other |
nations. Wonder how much there is |
left of the Virginius bunglef

Katie Kings are collapsing everywhere.
1t now appears that the Katie King who
appeared at the seances OF Miss Cook, in
London, is Of the earth, earthly, as the
Philadelphia spirit proved. A Mr.. Will
liam Hipp writes to the newspapers that
he attended a meeting where the spirits
were to sprinkle water upon those as
sembled. A tumbler was placed upon a
table and the lights turned down. Mr..
Hipp, being suspicious, grasped the tum.
bier and soon grasped hand dipping
into 1t. The hand proved to belong to
Miss Cook. Thus 1t is that the reputa-
zion of Katie number one is blasted like
that Of number two. This Ia hard win
ter on maskrats and spiritualists.

St. Petersburgh, the capital of Russia,
ia the haven of children who have a pro-
pensity for making mud sand pies. In
many of the small parks of that city
there are, here and there, large open
spaces covered with gravel. Every
morning in each Of these spaces may be
seen a large pile of sand, cone shaped,
about four feet high and six feet in dia-
meter at the base. After breakfast all
the children, equipped with little hatch
cts, spades and wagons, repair to these
cones and employ themselves in dig
ging down and scattering the material,
according to their fancy, over the gravel
spaces. Next morning the cones are
ready for another assault. The city gov
ernment provides the sand and mas it
piled into cones each night.

ZEE FARCE At NEW ORLEANS.

The spectacle at New Orleans on Mon
DAY was a pretty one for gods and men
10 contemplate. Soldiers marched into
the hall of the House, overthrow the Or
ganization that had been effected, and
set the Kellogg mill to grinding.
This would have been an unmitigated
outrage were there no excuse or pretext
Of excuse for it. The House had been
erganized according to a preconcerted
plot and contrary to the forms of law.
No opportunity had been given for fair
vote on the election of Speaker.
The source of the trouble was the re-
duction in the number Of the Democratic
members by the Returning Board. In the
FIRST place there was an election Civ
tng a majority of Democrats. In the
second place the Returning Board made
long investigation into the facts as to
the legality of the election in the dis
puted parishes, and managed to whittle
Gown the Democratic. majority. 1t was

or else half-long sleeves, covering the
arm only to the elbow, are worn with
high-throated full-dress t0ilettes.
In buying these garments those with
large percentage Of wool should be Sc
lecfed; but it is better to have some cot
ton in the fabric, as those entirely OF
wool shrink out Of shape. Merino draw
ers of the quality Of the vest are now gem
Nerally worn by ladies and children.
They add greatly to the comfort of the
wearer, and are not ugly and clumsy, as
were the Canton flannel under-drawers
formerly worn, as they are passed under
the long stocking. Very fair qualities
Of vest and drawers, regularly made, are
found TO match at ~ the garment. Red
merino underwear is offered for those
who have rheumatic and skin diseases.
Children's sizes are graded like those for
ladies.
Among other comfortable garments are
the chest-protectors and perforated buck
skin vests, worn under wrappings by
stout ladies, and under dress waists by
those who are very slight. They cost
81 80 each for good qualities.
Children and school girls whose dresses
do not cover their limbs entirely wear
woolen stockings long enough TO garter
above the knee. Dark colors, such as
solid blue or brown (whatever is the
prevailing color OF their costumes), }, are
most stylish. Ladies have worn the new
colored striped stockings, and have
learned to like them, and IL is said they
are beginning to adopt the warm merino
hosiery worn by children. For snowy
weather, for long rides, and for country
wear there are leggings of dark gray,
black or brown for ladies, while children
add scarlet and bright blue to this list of
coiors. The machine-knitted Logging is
the popular choice, and costs 81 80.
Some handsome leggings of brown or
black velvet edged with fur are made to
match children's ostumes.-Harper's

Out into the wilderness
We apart are going,
L00sed the joined hands carcss,
Lost the fond eyes glowing.
Gone our happy dream of life,
Like dried up river;
You no husband, no wife,
Thus we part forever.
But the desert quickly ends,
Whether journeyed over
MOurnfnlsy as parted friends,
Or as maid and lover.
Those Heaven meant for spouse and wife
Let not man dare sever!
In the eternal land of life
am thine forever.
