EVERY day the nearly 10000 cit.

poll of las. 900, voted against the
adoption of the new Constitution,
are treated to homilies whose
whole purport is that they (the op.
ponents aforesaid) are a set of con.
spirators engaged in nursing some
mallgn and terrible plot intended
to defeat the will of the people.
We have seen good many cleo
tions but never one in which the
verdict of the majority was SO cor
daily accepted by every one as In
the last. simultaneously with
these allegations, which are so free
ly banded about, we see most of
their utterers on break-neck pace

purely non-partizan, and which

that he must produce no less than

/. n mosaic or producing artistic de-
'slgus by means Of small pieces of
stone or glass fastened together, lie,
like thsI early history of nearly
every other art which has been
known from remote times, buried
Ia obscurity. Among the ancient
Greeks and Romans its use was al
most entirely confined to the con-
structlon of ornamental pavements
and panels, and many fine tessel-
lated pavements made by Roman
artists have been discovered. The
Egyptians Of Alexandria produced
beautiful small mosaics by
forming a bundle of fine
glass rods of various colors SO ar
ranged that their ends repre-
sentsd the outline and shade Of
the desired object. This bundle
was covered with layer Of Opaque
glass, usually OF q blue color, and
then the whole fused and drawn
ont into q compact mass without
interstices. When this was cut
into short pieces 1t formed q num-
Der of mosaios, each of them far
more perfect than could possibly be
produced separately. Small mo-
safes are now made at Rome by a
very similar process except that
she interstices between the glass
threads are filled in with wax of
the corresponding colors. Under
the Byzantine empire mosaic was
used for the decoration Of the
churches, although the art was
much debased. We are indebted to
the Byxantines for the remains of
ancient art and literature, but they
transmitted their Inheritance to
failure ages In very dilapidated
condition, without having made a
single real addition or improve
mont.
Mosaic Is at present, and has been
Tor centuries, an art almost confined
70 Italy. The Florentine mosaics
are formed Of pieces of stones set in
marble. Various colored marbles
ere used and, also, agate, lapis la
suli and precious stones; the latter
In thin pieces as veneer. As the
colors Of natural stones are not very
numerous, this kind Of mosaic is
principally used for floral and ara
bssque designs. The Roman mo-
saics are composed of pieces of glass,
and as no less than 5000 shades of
glass are made for this purpose the
finest paintings can be initiated,
although the copying of large
picture in mosaics Is a work occu-
plying many years. When a frame
Of the same size as the picture to be
copied has been covered with &C.
m ant, the cubes of glass are ar
ranged ia it with small iron pincers
and beaten down with a wooden
mslIet. The surface Is afterwards
polished.
The time employed in producing
nne mJsaics makes them enorm-
ousIy expensive, but then they are
indestructible except by violence.
The finest paintings are being
ruined by causes that cannot be
guarded against, for If no accident
occurs the most carefully prepared
colors known to modern artists are
soon faded by the action of the at
mosphere. Fresco is easily ruined
BY dampness, and very liable to
accidents. The colors of mosaics
are not superficial, and if the sur
face becomes defaced the picture
can be easily repolished and is then
- beautiful as when just complet-
cd. With all its merits, however,
mosaic can never become q very
common art, as few artists could be
found to begin on q picture for
which they would scarcely receive
an adequate compensation, and
which they might not live to finish.
