HENRY CASSIDY, SAIL MAKER AND CorroN
DUCK AoENT.-The firm of Cassidy & Miller
having been dissolved, our veteran friend,
Henry Cassidy, informs the public, through
card under the notice of dissolution, that be
still continues in the old business at the
former stand Of the firm, No. IS Camp street.
Having secured solely all the agencies for
cotton duck held by the firm, he is pre-
pared to extend the same facilities to the pub
lie. An experience of over forty years has
taught him to perfection all the mec hanical
portions of his business. Mr.. Cassidy has
been SO long identified with this business
that il is hard to think of sail-making, awning
work or cotton duck without essociating his
name with them. Any person needing duck,
blocks, rigging, tarpaulins, wagon covers, or
any other article in his line, can find them in
any quantities at his store, No. IS Camp
street.

MUSIC TEACHERS.

A correspondent writing from Paris to
Appleton's Journal, makes the following
reference to musical students and teach
ers: Having seen something of the
inner workings of the music teaching
system over hero, I am prepared to say
to every American girl who wishes to
study for the operate stage or the con-
cert-room, for heavens sake do not come
abroad to do it! Stay at home, for there,
at least, you will be sure of respect, kind
treatment, and the support of friends
and relatives. Besides, the music-teach-
ers of Europe are not SO marvellously
superior to those that are to be found in
the United States.
Clara Louise Kellogg, the most sue
cessful Of American prima donnas, ac-
quired all her singularly perfect musical
science in New York. In Europe Ct
speak particularly of Paris, knowing
nothing about NIilan) the one aim and
object of the teacher is to get possession
of his pupils money and too keep her
under his jurisdiction as long as possible.
He will befool her with false hopes, and
will hold up before her eyes the prospect
of a speedy debut at the grand opera, or
of brilliant engagement at Les Italiens,
till he finds that his dupe is getting out
of patience or out of funds. and then,
perhaps, the truth will come out; he has
no influence with the manager of the
grand opera, and can do nothing for the
deluded girl whose money he has been
pocketing for months, or perhaps years.
And then, not till then, will he reveal to
his unlucky pupil the probable truth,
namely, that neither by the quantity nor
quality of her voice is she fitted for the
career she has chosen. To tell her that
at the outset would have been kind
ness; but then monsieur would have lost
the chance of making some thousands of
francs, and that would never do. So not
till he has wrung out every penny that
the unfortunate aspirant for the lyric
stage is willing to pay will he tell her the
simple, honest truth respecting her vocal
and dramatic capacities.

onar rne UwU men. stuart $ nat
ura1 ease of manner Cor self-conceit, as we
may choose to think it) had often car
ried him unabashed into the presence of
royalty in Europe. The man of genius,
he declared, honored kings by his notice.
But when Secretary cambridge brought
him into the little parlor where WASH
ington awaited him, he utterly lost his
selfpossession and stood awed and dumb
for several minutes. The president talked
to him quietly until he recovered him
self. There must have been some fine
quality in Stuart himself, thus to ap-
preciate the majesty of simple truth.
The painter lived in Germantown, a
quiet little suburb of Philadelphia, to
which the yellow fever that year had
driven President Washington and the
officers of state. He turned an ivy-grown
stable or barn in field near his house
into a studio, and there he executed the
truest and greatest work of his life, the
head of Washington, working at it with
a patient and anxious zeal. Something
of the sincerity of his sitter seems to
have communicated itself, for the mo-
ment, to the Eighty artist; and Stuart's
fascination conquered even the grave
and impassive Washington. After his
own portrait was finished, we are told in
the legends of the village that he and
Lady Washington would often stroll
across the fields and sit for hours in the
stable-studio, talking to the painter ashe
worked. The portrait of Washington,
in fact, was not finished at all when the
head was done, Stuart declared he would
never touch it again, and never did, al
though he finished inferior copies made
from it, sold them, and squabbled about
the selling. This one great picture was
bought by the Boston Athen@um, to
which it now belongs. 1t gives us, per-
haps, our only true knowledge of the ap-
pearance of Washington, if we except
the bust made by Houdin, who came
from France for the express purpose of
modelling it, for the state of Virginia.
There are told in Germantown many
stories of Stuart-of the great men and
the stately, beautiful women who came
to him to be painted (and one likes to
believe that in those first days of the re-
public all the men were great and all the
women fair); of his skill, his excuses,
his mad fury when angered, his generos-
ity when pleased; at work this morning,
with Thomas jefferson as his charmed |
listener; this afternoon, kick |
ing roast of beef back to his butchers |
in a tempest of fury, followed by the
delighted boys of the village.
His record after this date is briefly |
told. He went to Washington, then to
Boston, and there died, the first portrait
painter in the country, after an old age
beset by disease. debt and drink.
No boy ever set out on the journey of
life with a larger capital of health, win
ming manner, friendships, or natural
ability; no man ever brought that jour
ney to a sadder end of disappointment |
and loss.-,T. Nicholas.

THE SUNS ATMOSPHERE.

That the sun has an atmosphere as
we'll as a philosophers has long been
known and that the surface is less
bright at the edges than in the centre
has been taken as a proof that the atmos-
phere is an absorbing atmosphere. Cal
culations on the amount of absorption,
and it's effect on our earth, were made by
Laplace and other astronomers; and of
late years the spectrum has been used in
investigating the question. MIR. Lang
ley, of the Allegheny observatory, has
lust published the result of his steady
observation of the phenomenon, and he
states that the suns atmosphere is thin
stratum, which cuts off One-half of the
heat which otherwise would reach u.s.
Any diminution or increase in the alb
sorpton would affect us to an important
extent. For example, if there were an
increase of twenty-five per cent. only, it
would lower the mean surface temPera-
ture of our globe by one hundred de-
prees Fahrenheit The existence of liv-
ing things on the earth thus appears TO
be dependent on the steadiness of the
suns atmosphere ; let it become thicker
or thinner, and we must be frozen t.
death or scorched to death. We know
what arctic temperature is. and geolo
gists as well as physicists are agreed thai
our earth has passed through at least on
glacial epoch, and may we not assume
that the suns atmosphere has been the
agent by which fluctuations of tempera
ture were brought about in the past
and that similar fluctuations may await
us in some far remote future? 1t is ;
subject of earnest consideration.

THE BoRAX LAKE OF CALIFORNIA
1t appears that the incredulity with
which statements concerning the boraX
Lake have been received in England has
been considerably lessened by supplies Of
the material coming to the London
market The pottery districts are espe-
ciallv interested in the discovery. Ac.
counts set forth that very extensive
works are now completed for the refining
and purifying of this borax for ship
ment. Stimulated by the action of the
railroad company, the borax company
has put up large wsrks, and expects to
turn out from twenty TO fifty tons of the
mineral per day. The deposit of borax
extends over an area of eighteen miles
in length by six to eight miles in width,
covered with crude borax TO the depth
of three to five feet. The crude mineral
averages from twenty to forty per cent
OF the pure salt.
