The bronze statuary just now so popular
is manufactured by a simple enough process {:
Over the clay model is poured a coating Of
plaster of Paris, which having been allowed
to set, is taken OF in sections, thus af1rding
hollow mould Of the figure. From such a
mould is produced stuceo duplicate, either
Of the entire statue, or of such portion there
of as is intended to be cast at time; and
on this, again, is formed q SECOND mould of
greater thickness and solidity for the recep-
ton of the molten metal. The material used
for the final mould is a composition of stucco
and briek-duSt. This is applied in plastic
state to the stucco model, from which its in
ner surface takes the form of the figure.
Were statues cast solid, it would now only
be necessary to separate mould from model,
md run metal into the former till its interior
was filed. This, however, would involve
absurd waste, and in order to economize
material, solid core is placed inside the
mould, leaving only such space all round as
will receive the thickness of metal deemed
necessary for the work in hand. The mould
with its core having been thus completed,
and firmly hooped round with bands of iron
is placed in kiln to he baked to perfect
dryness. This precautioh is necessary from
the circumstance that even trace of mois-
ture might on the application of molten
metal occasion dangerous explosion. In
the case Of the casting now in question, the
drying of the mould occupies some weeks.
On the removal from the kiln, the mould is
buried in dry earth below the floor of the
foundry, only the aperture for receiving the
metal and the vent hole for the escape of air
remaining visible.

The Sweetness of Home.

lie who has no home has not the sweetest

from hearts beating true to your own. The
chosen rartner of your toll has smile of
appreciation when others have deserted, a

matter how humble that home may be, how
destitute its stores, or how poorly its inmates
are clad, if true hearts dwell there it is yet a

Rather Green.


A verdant Irish girl, just arrived, was
sent to an Intelligence Office by the Com
missioners of Emigration, to find place of
service. She was sent to restaurant,
where stout help was wanted, and while in
conversation with the proprietor, he took
occasion to light his segar, by igniting a
locofoco match on the sole of his boot. As
soon as the girl saw this, she ran away half
frightened to death, and when she reached
the Intelligence Office, she was almost
breathless.
"Why, what's the matter with you %
said the proprietor, seeing her rush in, in
such confusion.
"Och sure, sar, but yes sent me to the
old devil himself, in human form"
"What do you mean? has he dared to in
sulta help from my office?' inquired the
man.
"Yes, sur" returned the girl-"he's the
divil."
"What did he do to you !? tell me, and
LII fix him for it, said he, quite exasper-
atcd.
"Why, sur, whilst I was talkin' to him
about the wages, he turned up the bottom
of his fut, and wild splinter in his finger,
sur, he jis gave one strike, and the fire flew
out of his fut, and burned the stick, and he
lighted his segar wild it, right afore my own
face. He's the divil, sure, SURF

The ArtlesS Fair Ono.

A victimized man speaks eloquently in
behalf of his unprotected susceptbilities
There is a certain style of woman who af-
1ects the most innocent simplicity on ques-
/ tions to which every one past first childhood
can give an answer; whose cue is maize ig-
norance, whose charm is her unenlghten-
ment. She absolutely makes boast of her
ignorance; the tone in which she says,
"Oh! you are too clever for poor little me
to talk to; and dare say you are right;
but then | am such little goose | do not
understand you," is quite sufficient to an
initiate you for the evening, if you chance
to be Of those unlucky ones who are sensi-
tive as to the impression they make. She,
so simple, so untutored, the child of nature,
makes it plain to you that you have gone on
q wrong road when you have spoken to her
as to reasonable, decent education, and have
assumed that she possesses mind and some
degree Of instruction. She is all heart; if
you like she can expatiate on her dear dog,
or that darling boat race; but she cannot
let you think that she has ever used the eyes
OF her mind, Or seen anything deeper than
the self-reliant superfcialites of life. Her
subjects Of conversation are few; all she
wants to talk about is the opera, or the fash
ions, or the latest scandal, the latest amuse-
ments; and anything to make her think and
use her brain, though in the mildest way,
rufles her serenity and transforms you into
bore of the first magnitude.

In manufacturing instruments Of pre-
cision and tools for delicate uses only the
very best material is used; and nova.
days no one ever thinks of making a silk
purse out of a sows ear, or a whistle out
OF pigs tail. The custom has become
obsolete. But, according to the Rev. DIR.
Bartlett, of Dartmouth College, the
poorest, commonest, trashiest kind OF
timber is occasionly made into minis.
ter of the Gospel, and launched upon
the world to evangelize the people there
of. He says that the cause of religion is
becoming deeply concerned in the ques.
tion of ministerial standing, that it has
become possible for reckless clerical ad.
venturers to range from place to place,
corrupting and harrassing the flock, and
cites many cases in illustration. A stu
dent expelled from Western
theological seminary for vulgarity,
obscenity and falsehood, went di-
rectly to New England, was
ordained, and assumed the charge of a
fourishing Church. A dissolute young
person in New England was expelled
from the ministry, but within a year
was made. the pastor Of Church in a

Church where his innate "cussedness'

the Council refused to "pass" him. Ad-
ditional cases will suggest themselves to
every one. The remedy is in the hands of
the Churches themselves. The character
of clerical candidates should be closely
scrutinized. All brash and unsound timber,
or timber tainted with suspicion of IN
soundness, should be rejected. What

SAM,AN' New GovERNoR.-Generai F. w.
Bartlett of New York. writes from tie port
of Apia, in the Samoan Islands. that he has
been appointed Governor of the Province,

that the natives are amiable and easily gov
erned. The commerce Of the port is ex-
tensive, there being an average of ten yes
sells in the harbor all the time. The rev.
enue will, therefore, be ample for the pay
ment of the expenses of the Government
from the beginning with prospect of a
rapid increase.

THE name of George Stillman Hilliard,
who died at Boston last Tuesday, has
been familiar to the people of this coun-
try for fully forty years. He was ma
tive of Main, where he was born more
than seventy years ago, and at one time
was the leading lawyer of his adopted
city. He represented Boston in both
branches Of the State Legislature and
served three years as United States Dis
trict Attorney for his district. He was
more widely known through his literary
labors, however, being the author of a
geography which was extensively used in
the public schools throughout the coun-
try He also wrote several excellent
works on history, philosophy and travels,
besides being frequent and entertain
ing contributor to a number of maga-
zines.

A STRANGE TRADITION.

Among the Seminole Indians there is a
strange tradition regarding the white man $
origin and superiority. They say that
when the Great Spirit made the earth he
also made three men, all of whom were
fair complexioned, and that after making
them he led them to the margin of a small
lake and babe them leap in and wash.
One obeyed and came out purer and fairer
than before the second hesitated a mo-
ment, during which time the water, agi-
tated by the first, had become muddled,
and when he bathed he came up copper
colored; the third did not leap in until the
water became black with mud, and he
came out dark in color. Then the Great
Spirit laid before them three packages,
and out of pity for his misfortune in color.
gave the black man first choice. He took
hold of each of the packages, and haTing
felt the weight, chose the heaviest; the
copper-colored man chose the next heavi-
est. leaving the white man the lightest.
When the packages were opened, the first
was found to contain spades, hoes and all
the implements of labor; the second en-
wrapped hunting, fishing and warlike APP
paratus; the third gave the white man
pens, ink and paper, the engine of the
mind, the means of mental i'm
proyement, the foundation of the white
mans superiority
