CLEANING BRAss.-The Government
method prescribed for cleaning brass.
and in use at all the United States ar.
senals, is claimed to be the best in the
world. The plan is to make mixture
of one part common nitric acid and one.
half part sulphuric acid in stone jar,
having also ready pail Of fresh water
and box of sawdust. The articles to
be treated are dipped into the acid, then
removed into the water, and finally
rubbed with the sawdust. This imme-
diately changes them to a brilliant
color. IL the brass has become greasy,
it is first dipped into a strong solution
of potash and soda in warm water; this
cuts the grease, so that the acid has free
power to act

AndersOnvillc Revisited.
VINELAND, N. J.

A few private stones have been erected
by friends OF the departed, and stand in
long white lines like mounted officers
among the infantry, and j. takes but
little stretch of the imagination to make
reality ont of the picture set off in the
beginning. Many hive come hither to
remove the bodies of relatives, but the
grounds are so we'll kept and cared for
that few removals have taken place.
The marble slabs are some Of them
beautiful, being notified and variegated,
and among so many thousands some
exquisite specimens occur Here and
there appears a square stone shorter
than the rest, with simple number
marking the unknown grave. 1t strikes
one with mournful interest to see the
frequency of ages nineteen, twenty,
which appears on so many stones.
Nineteen seems to be the average OF
ages.
But little is now left of the stockade !;
the line of red clay breastworks is,
however, yet iutact, and worn smooth
by the tramp of the sentinels in gray,
who a score of years ago trod the weary
beat, scarcely better fed or clothed than
tho poor wre;ches within. A field of
oats has been planted in the Enclosure,
which is full of old wells sunk by the
prisoners, who tried to tunnel the
breastworks TO escape. Few succeeded,
and il the outer works were reached,
the rifles of the sentinels or baying If
b!oodhounds gave the alarm, and re-
capture was almost Il certainty.
