Chromo-Lithography.

In these days of cheap and plenty pictures,
when every fifty cent publication processes
TO give ive-dollar chrome as a premium TO
subscribers, it may be interesting to the
young reader to know what a chrome is.
Lithography is the art Of engraving, upon
stone, designs which can be transferred to
paper. The stone must he a light calcare-
Gus limestone, and is sawn in blocks or
slabs, from one and a half to three inches in
thickness, and then ground to a smooth face
by rubbing two stones together, with fine
sand between. The designs are drawn in
crayons, or with pens and brushes, in such
way that when the ink is applied, the de
sign readily absorbs it, and from it any
number Of impressions eau be taken, Till it
is worn off, when the stone can be ground
again and new designs drawn. This is only
one process of photography and is used for
circulars, bill-heads, etc
Chromo-lithography is the art Of printing
in colors, and has been brought to great per
lection in Europe and America. 1t consists
in printing in colors, and each color is ap-
piled by a different stone. The designs
must be drawn with the utmost accuracy,
that each successive color and shade Of
color shall present clear and distinct out
line. In copying oil paintings it has really
become a fine art In some instances copies
Of pictures have reproduced every shade and
color so exactly that the copy can scarcely
be distinguished from the original painting
| 1t is especially beautiful when used to copy
paintings OF flowers, fruit, fish and game
1t is much used in landscapes, marine views
and in portraits. Copies of old pictures
with the cracks in the paint, and all the ray
ages Of time, perfectly reproduced, ar,
hardly to be distinguished from the original
and thus, at a comparatively small cost, al
most perfect copies of celebrated pictures
may be procured. To do this, exact copiei
Of the design must be transferred to as many
| different stones as there are colors to be in
troduced, and other stones must be used {,
give the shades Of color, and all must b,
done with the utmost exactness, to proven
one color from overlapping aud blurrinl
another
There are many Autographs, or copies o
pictures, taken on stone, which reproduce
steel engravings, and sometimes are sold 70
such. The small cost of these pictures ha
induced dealers and publishers to offer then
as inducements for patronage, the same a
cheap jewelry was once used, and thus Their
is thrown broadcast, the good, bad aud in
different, till the very word chrome sound
akin to humbug. The discriminating car
distinguish those Of real merit while to thos,
who cannot see any difference between
good and bad copy, it makes no differenc,
which they have.

morning convinced that It is punish
ment" But we submit that his judgment
under such circumstances, is of little more
value than the oft-quotcd opinion Of tho new
hcdged scholar, that multiplication is vexa
ton" etc. It is because Of the necessity fol
this early and continuous bodily training, to
fit and keep fit the young farmer for his
work upon the farm, that We have so ar
IDENTIFY protested the uselessness Of any agrl'
cultural college which is not also manual
labor school, well fitted with suitable farm
upon which every student should keep up
his muscle by his stated daily task. This
is not the only use Of Alarm to such an insti-
tution-far from it-but it is a most impor-
tant and essential use. Daniel Webster, the
" god-like," possessing the frame Of an ath-
lete Of the classic time, returned home from
college to his fathers farm with muscles so
distempered by muse, that the only way in
which his scythe could be hung to suit him
was TO hang it on tree
But the labors Of the farm are not all such
as test the bodily powers to the detection Of
every weak spot in the anatomy. Since the
introduction Of machinery, especially, a we'll
organized farm offers few tasks which are
beyond the powers Of any man, of ordinary
physique, who has been duly trained to his
calling. And it happens that as The need Of
physical proves lessons, the opportunity
for intellectual power and training Increases.
It has already 50 increased that our trained
intellectual Dayids will now often win the
prizes in agriculture pecuniary prizes, we
mean) against the stolid Goliaths Of agri-
cultural Philistnisnl.
But it is and always will be the glory Of
our trade, that the farm furnishes, beyond
every other honest means Of occupation, the
opportunity for the very highest conioined
physical, mental, yea, and moral develop
ment of man. Without the pure blood Of
the farmer, transfused through the veins of
the citizen in a constant current, the cities,
those great centres Of activity, would indeed
Immediately become what they have been
styled great sores Springing from the
farm, and directed to intellectual pursuits
alone, men, for one or two generations, may
preserve sufficient vitality for the work they
find to do where the body gets no sufficient
support or culture but, like the plants dug
from the garden for winter towering under
glass, they are worthless for purposes OF
propagation.
In conclusion we may say, not only with
the poet, that "the labor we delight il
physics pain" but that in the whole visible
creation, orderly activity appears to be the
measure of enjoyment to every creature
More than that, and beyond, as Christ ha.
told us" My Father worketh hitherto, ant
| work" so we believe that not ideness, moi
"loafng around the throne" but harmoni
GUS labor, constitutes the happiness olheaven
And as heaven begins in this world, for thu
believer, we are sure that intelligent honest
faithful labor in our vocation, from sincere
love of its use, is true means Of grace
that in short, "LaJordre est ordre work
is PRAYER.

Fdcile Decensus Auerni-Belknap knows
that proverb, and Babcock will pretty soon.
We suspect, be convinced Of the fact. The
President and his friends are evidently be-
coming very much alarmed for their own
safety, and will not, in all probability. SHOW
mercy unto any whose acts may cast oopro.
brium upon the Executive.
Babcock, according to the announcement
made in special to the New Orleans Times,
has not only been mixed up in the whisky
frauds, but in his position as private secretary
to the President, has been guilty Of retaining
letters Of complaint to the President in regard
to the conduc. Of post traders, and has in that
way shielded these rogues from Justice and
prevented the exposure Of the infamous
traffic maintained between the War Depart
ment and the traders. II this be true, then
Babcock must have in some way shared the
plumber which went to the Belknaps, aud his
dismissal from Office and from the army,
which he has in many ways disgraced, viii
almost necessarily follow. 1t il bad lot, we
suspect-a very bad lot, and the sooner the
President ribs himself OF them the sooner
will the people believe that he is really de-
sirous thas no guilty man shall escape. Tie
trouble about the matter is. Grant has hereto

impeachment being form Of criminal pro-
ceeding provided for BY the Constitution.
An accused person can not constructively be
brought under the operation of penalty,
either by protracting q legal day or by carry
ing it backward. The whole case, then, turns
on the question, whether or not person can
be impeached when not actually in Office, al d
the better opinion, as We have already said,
ment by the device Of resignation otherwise
the constitutional penalty of perpetual exclr-
sion from Office would be operative only with
the consent of the criminal himself.

THE QUESTION OF IMPEACHMENT.

A writer in the New York World suggests q
point in law which appears to solve all doubts
as to the impeachability OF the late Secretary
of War. It has been denied that Gen. Bel
KNAPP is subject to impeachment, inasmuch as
he had resigned, ana his resig aation had been
accepted by the President, before the House
acted on the charges preferred against him.
The better opinion appears to be that this OBJ
lection has no force, since it would be obvi-
ously absurd to suppose that an official could
escape the constitutional penalty Of perpetual
inelegibility to hold Office by the short and
easy process Of resigning. But apart from
this the objection appears to be obviated by
the rule Of law that legal day has no parts
that it can not be divided. Gen. Belknap
was Secretary Of War on March ID In con-
temptation of law, therefore, he was Secretary
Of War the whole of that day, and, conse-
quently, he was in Office at the moment when
the impeachment resolutions passed the
House. II the President had appointed new
Secretary of War on that day the same rule
nigh. have been construed SO as to make the
new Secretary the legal incumbent for the
whole day. But, even in this case, it would
seem that the new commission would take
effect only on the following day, inasmuch as
the first day and the last day of an officials
tenure are always counted in his term of
office, and, consequently, the last day of one
officials term can not be counted as the first
day Of his successors term. But such an
issue does not arise in this case because no
successor to Belknap was appointed. and,
consequently, it mist remain undisputed
that the person who was Secretary of War for
any part of the day in question, was Secretary
Of War for the whole day.
Butt appears to have escaped the notice of
the writer in the World that the principles
governing criminal prosecutions are different
from the principles governing civil actions
The case Of the tobacco tax might, it is true,
be decided in favor of the government, on the
ground that the day on which the bill in
divided. But suppose that the act had in
creased the penalty for fraud on the internal
revenue laws, say to ten years imprisonment
it is clear that the principle tina. a man can
not for any act be subjected to greater pen
atty than that imposed by law at the time the
act is committed, would override the con-
structivs txtension backward Of the legal day.
This principle , Of universal application in
criminal procesdingA and it would seem,
therefore. that 4 applies to Bslknap's case,

Texas Post TradershinS.

Gen. McCook, who has seen great deal OF
service on the Texas frontier, was in St. Louis
last week, and was interviewed by Globe
Democrat reporter. The General was cut
spoken and plain, and gives it as bis opinion,
based upon facts of which he is cognizant,
that all the post traderships have been made
matters of bargain and sale.
In reply to interrogatories Gen. MoCook,
who has grown gray in the service, said:
81 confidently expected the exposure, and
knew that it must come sooner or later. The
frauds alleged were known to me and to every
officer who has had garrison duty to perform
in the West. for several years past. 1t is not q
matter of wonderment to me, nor do l think
it will be to them, that this widespread cor
ruption should have been exposed. There are
1875 posts yet to hear from, and rest assured
the returns have not begun to come in yet. :"
"Do you believe that the doubtful transac-
tons shown to have been engaged in by the
Secretary Of War extends to posts other than
Fort Sill?"
"Do I believe so? Yes, I do Nay,
think | might with propriety say that know
SO. Now that the investigation has been COM
mened by Congress, if there is really desire
to sift matters to the very bottom, let them
send for the post-traders in all quarters, and
there will be such revelations Of corruption
as will dwarf the case already revealed into
nothingness. This is bua the en-. eri1 g
wedge, which, if given the force necessary,
will rend the entire system of post-trading as
now conducted"
