WHAT Sort OF SPRING SHALL WE HAVE
1t will DOT be advisable to hazard much on an
early spring in the year of grace 1877. Why I
Because the accommodations OF ice and snow 10
the Northwest and North are unprecedented,
and atmospheric currents from these quarters
will necessarily be cold until those accumula.
tons disappear which cannot be expected till
late 10 the season. 1t is true that with pre-
valencc of southerIy or eastery winds We may
have generally warm weather early, but always
subject to bIightiug nips and frosts whenever
the winds reach US from the snow banks, and
with these the ambitious gardener will meet
with set back We make DO prophecy, but
this seems to be the philosophy Of the situa-
ton, and We shal! act upon it. We look tor
good deal OF cold weather yet, and hope that
the severity of the winter thus far will improve
the cropping season when it does come.--Ha.

A Valuable Art Invention.

Poikilography-that is the art Of pho
t0grapbing In natural colors-is now
not only discovered, but probably prac-
ticed In London. The London Standard
says: The process in question is one
by which paintings ancient or modern
can be reproduced in fac simile and
with all the softness and blending of
color that made them as pleasing to the
eye Of the general observer Though
perhaps not to the connoisseur) as
would be the original paintings them
selves. The copy is essentially
faithful in the minutest details from the
simple fact of its being q photograph,
which by a mechanical continuance can
be enlarged to any gisen dimension.
Being thus acquired, it subsequently
undergoes the photographic process
by which it is made to resemble, and is,
in fact, an oil painting that would not
discredit the walls of those lovers of art
whose means will not enable them to
indulge in the originals themselves"
The patentee of the process is Mr.. Lom-
bardi. He and an American associate
have brought the invention to a basis of
practical utility. -as
