Staining Wood.

Mahogaray.-To give pine the appear
ance of mahogany, brush over two or
three times, allowing the wood to dry
between each application, with boiling
decoction of logwood chips. When
thoroughly dry, give two coats of shell
lac varnish, after which carefully sand
paper, polish, and give final coat of
varnish.
Ebo1ay.-Any compact wood coated
three or four times with the boiling de-
coction, as above, and then washed with
a solution of acct tie of iron, made by
dissolving iron filings in vinegar, will
be stained in very good imitation of
ebony, the wash penetrating SO deep
that ordinary scratching and chipping
do not show the original color.
Black Wal9aatt-Put pulverized as
phaltum into bowl with about twice
It's bulk of turpentine and set where it
is warm, shaking from time to time un-
til dissolved; then strain and apply
with either cloth or stiff brush. Try
a little first, and if the stain be too dark
thin it with turpentine. If desirable to
bring out the grain still n.ore, give a
coat of boiled oil and turpentine When
the wood is thoroughly dry, polish with
a mixture of two parts shellac varnish
and one part boiled OIL Apply by put
ting few drops at time on cloth and
rubbing briskly over the wood.
IS Maple Grayish maple may be whit
ened by washing it with solution of
oxalic acid, to which a few drops of
nitric acid have been added.
Granting. Beautiful artificial grain
ing may be given to many kinds of wood
by tastefully tracing with camel hair
pencil in raw oil, SO as to resemble the
rich varying veins of the more rare and
expensive woods. The veining should
be gone over two or three times, while
the rest of the wood need be coated but
once with oil thinned with turpentine.

SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
Following is the text of the Presidents special
message sent to Congress on the Goth ult.:
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
The bill making an appropriation for the pay
M MT of the fees of UniIed States Marshals and
their general deputies. which have this day re-
turned to the House of Representatives lin which
it originated, with my objections, having on it's
reconsideration by that body failed to be-
come law, l respectfully call your at
tention to the immediate necessity of MAX
ing some adequate provision for the due and
etacient execution by the Marshals and Deputy
Marshals of the United States of the constant and
important duties enjoined upon them by existing
laws. ALI app OPERATIONS to provide for the per-
formance OF these indispensable duties expire
to-day. Under the laws prohibiting public officers
from. involving the Government in contract
liabilities beyond the actual appropriations it is
apparent that the at the disposal of the ex-
ecutive department for executing the laws through
0 ui"i teCI1a oillctfs Will, AFTER To-Day, be
lett inadequate The suspension of necessary func-
lions in the ordinary administration IF the first dl-
ties of the Government for the shortest period is in
consistent with the public interest and at any mo-
ment may prove inconss ent with public safety. II
is impossible for me to look without grave concern
on the state of things which leaves the service
thus unprovided for aud public interest thus un
protected, and earnee thy urge on your attention
the necessity of making immediate appropriations
for the intenance of the service of Marshals and
Deputy Marshals for the fiscal year which com
meuces tomorrow. r. B. HAYES.
