sheep For Australia,

Mr.. Winter, the great Australian
sheep farmer, has arrived in New York,
and talks freely about the objects of his
visit. Il am" said he, ''here for the
purpo7e of purchasing sheep to ship to
Australia for my ranch. j was here last
spring end made some purchases, and
shipped a number of sheep from San
Francisco. Since then 1 have been in
England and Scotland examining stock,
and / have Just returned"
1.-THE foot and mouth disease is over
running the island, and l was afraid to
buy anything for fear of introducing
the plague among my stock. The foot
and mouth disease is a new one-that
is it IS only about fifteen years since it
was first heard of. In Scotland 1 ex-
amined some stock, and learned there
that hares, rabbits and dogs spread the
disease. / shall remain in the city a
few days only, and am then going to
Montana. / may buy there, but will
surely bny in California unless the sheep
there has the plague. But my buying
depends IN whether or not the colonies
will admit stock from this country. /
notice that New Zealand has shut her
door on the importation of sheep and
cattle, and possibly the other colonies
have followed her. 1 buy Spanish
merinos, the "Infantas," which have
been kept pure nowhere outside of the
United States. When 1 get them to
Australia they will be crossed with
entire stock, the Australian merinos. L
sell my feecefor thirty cents u~ndressed,
and sometimes have received forty-five
for it," Mr.. Winter. when asked how
large his farm was. said: II have abont
80, 900 acres, of which 1000 are in the
Lucerne grass, OF alfalfa, as it is called
in California. The Lucerne is capable
of supporting fifty sheep for a season
on one acre. My farm has stocked on
it abcat $4,000 sheep, 1000 head OF
cattle, and 500 horses. There is one
man in Australia, Mr.. Sam Machey, of
New South Wales, who sheared $780,
600 sheep last year, and this year he
expects to have $500, 900. His lands
run 700 miles in one direction and COM
prises 5000, 900 acres, and have been
ali reclaimed from the desert"

recently paid a visit to ting celebrated
oyster beds at Sneem, writes a correspon-
dent from Kenmare, ireland. Kenmare
oysters, or rather Bands oysters, have
quite a reputation, and bring the highest
figures in the oyster market. MIR. Bland
is The proprietor of the beds, and owns
a large property in the neighborhood.
Commencing with this season he has
formed a limited company for the more
profitable working of this valuable fish
cry. The oyster beds are twenty acres
In extent, produce sorle 800, 900 aRnu-
ally, which are selling now at 10 shIl-
lIpgs ($2. SOY per 100. During the past
few years they nave been sold at II
shillings, IA shillings, and up to as high
as Is shilllngs per 100. wholesale. They
are shipped in boxes, generally containing
about l,100, to Killarney (thirty-fve
miles), and from there by rall and boat
to Cork, Dublin, London, Liverpool, etc.
as may be judged, oysters are at present
beyond the reach of men of even moder-
ate incomes. They have been rising IN
price every season, until they have reached
a point when it IS found a cheaper hospi-
talIty to TAKE a friend into a club or first
Clhco tSotduldut Il BiNS Nun a SOOu Nln-
ner than to ask him &c nave an oyster
lunch. 1 was roged over the be.Is, which
at the time OF my visit were covered with
ten 10 twelve feet of water, showH how
the seed was laid down, and the gradual
growth and development from the ''spat"
to the mstured oyster. The seed is
brought from the French coast, prices
varying from three shilings to f2 per
l zoo, according TO size and age. The
coast of Brittany Is the great source Of
supply for the English ami Irish fisher
les. This seed is placed IN trays, 8 by
3 feet and 4 inches IN height, made OF
fine galvanized woven wire, and dlvi-
ded each into six compartments. The
frame Is of thick slate; over ii is placed
a tight fitting frame, called an ''ambu-
lance" the frames are well tarred over
with boiling pitch, and In this condition
are placed In the beds. The. second sea-
son these are picked over, the large ones
taken out are placed In ponds or ''parks"
winch are sections 80 by 30 feet under
water, formed by strong wire. Here they
are left for another year, when they are
removed to the regular bed, as required.
II takes four years-two years Ia these
nurseries and two years IN the regular
beds-before the oyster is matured aud tit
for market. With the old native spat the
Irish oyster grew to d larger Sue than Is
produced by the foreign seed, although
the superior favor and excellence OF the
latter is admitted. A large staff Is Kept
employed at the Sheen beds, and the
oysters are taken up from the middle OF
September to the end of April. The
drive from Kenmare TO Sheen is n of
the most delightful among the many
charming drives in this part of the south
OF Ireland.

Smoking In Mexico.

While waiting for coffee, and afterward
during pauses 10 the conversation, the
gentlemen OF the family and not infre
quently the latIes also-settle gracefully
back In their CHAIRS aud tnj " a cigarette
or two. | learned a iessJu at my very
first dinner III Mexico. 1t was at a hotel
table, and a stranger Mexican seated be-
side me, who happened Ia finish his dinner
first. iunocen ly lighted his cigar for the
usual table smoke, which l. in the depth
of my Ignorance, regarded as a personal
insult, and Indignantly left the table.
Since that day | have become ''learned
in the ways OF the Egyptians, " and cannot
only tolerate the national custom with
equanimity, but (be not Mortified, oh, fas-
tldious friendly occasionally take a dinner
cigarette myself. When n is in Rome
il is well TO do as X )mans do. These tiny
Mexican cigarettes, rolled up in coru-husks
or tissue paper, are not at all like the
United States. These are not much
larger than strsws. the husk is sweet to
the taste, and they have a delicate fra
GRANGE which is very pleasant. In Mex
leo everybody smokes at all times and In
all places AT the theater, IN the bait room,
everywhere. 10 making formal calls or
more extended visits, politeness demands

EDUCATION in Mexico.

In the matter OF education many
improvements have been made in
Mexico within the last few years. At
compulsory, and the mo royal'' road
to learning is entirely free. Facilities
are also given to young men who show
an aptitude for higher education in the
collegio-ciyil or state college of Monte
rey, where they are graduated in the
various professions. This institution
was founded long ago, during Gen.
Vidauri's wise and prosperous admins
tration. He did so much for Mexico
in the way of accomplishing needed re-
forms, that if anybody is to be wor-
shipped as the patron saint, it should
be him instead of the mythical Gauda-
loupe. The civil college is domiciled
in a fine edifice fronting the Cinco de
Mayo Plaza. Degrees are there con
ferred in law, medicine, pharmacy,
civil engineering, and commercial
studies. In common with other MeXi-
can states, Nuevo Leon has the privi-
lege of sending scholars to the celebra-
ted national agricultural and mining
college i'll the city of Mexico. Young
men DESTROYS of a higher university
education go to France, Spain OF
Germany for it. Those in search of
medical education, find it in Philadel-
phia or Paris. If in a hurry for "a
diploma, they go to the former city,
where one may be obtained in two
years. But the Mexican authorities,
like those of Canada, have no conf
dence in Philadelphia parchments, and
subject the possessor of II to a most
rigid examination before he is licensed
to practice his art. On the other hand,
a diploma obtained in France carries
the owner through without let or him
drance.

Lacquer Ware.

A short description OF he II 10
which lacquering is done may be of
interest to our readers, and mere we
will describe it as briefly as possible.
The operation depends, of course, on
the peculiar properties of the lacquer
and the effects to be produced. The
raw lacquer, chiefly the Seshiae urushi.
is used for pruning, with an addition OF
burnt clay dust, or fine stone powder,
81 as to produce a coating of the utmost
hardness. The prepared lacquer, after
having been strained, is slightly trans
parent when applied in thin layers, and
possesses a color similar to hat of
shellac; this transparency is occasional
ly increased by a small addition of dry
ing-oil, which, by mere hardening; pro-
duces a sufficient glossiness of the sur
face, whereas the pure lacquer has to
be polished. For coloring, the lacquer
is mixed with ciunaba or pIment, red
oxide of iron or Prusian blue, etc.
The black lacquer is prepared in the
following manner. 1t is effected with
IL any addition of solid particles,
such as lampblack or similar substanc-
es, but merely by stirring the crude
lacquer for a day or two in the open air,
~whereupen it assumes a very dark
brown color. Towards the end OF the
operation a small quantity of water,
which has been kept standing for a
few days, mingled with with iron filings
or a gall-nut infusion darkened by the
addition of iron, is added, and the
whole stirred again until part of the
water has evaporated; then the lacquer
acquires proper consistence n color.
The addition of this water is said to
cause the highest brilfiancy and black
ness OF lacquer. Sometimes the colored
lacquer is used when the final coating
IS required to be 0 a transparent nature.
Either the unmixed, strained lacquer,
or that peculiar kind of lacquer which
has been thin ned by an addition OF oil,
is used,
The mixing of lacquer with harden
ing or coloring powders Ii generally
effected by the lacquerer himself on a
wooden board with wooden spatula just
before using it. Finally. the thick
mixture is forcibly stra aimed through a
piece of paper called yashinocamt.
Should the lacquer become too stif for
use, some bits of camphor are crushed
and thoroughly mixed with the lacquer
by spatula, and then it becomes more
liquid. Before beginning to lacquer,
the artist often lines the exterior of the
objects. especially the joints and corers,
with linen gauze orgoshtn0gami pasted

In an Australian Forest

Morning and evening the Australian
forest is awake; at noo 1t Is asleep. No
greater contrast a be imagined than
between the morning hours and those
at midday. In the former, the very
flowers seem to possess an active tx
istence. Myriads of such, larger and
more brilliant than those under English
skies, load tine air with the sweetest
scents. Magnificent fern trees wave
their froDds or branches in the light
breeze. On old stumps of trees great
green and yellow lizards lie watching
for their prey. The maybe throws her
voice from the wattles, and possibly the
Tyre bird in the denser scrub; and in
the tall gum trees numberIess parokeets,
parrots, rosellas, cockatoos, butcher
birds, love-birda, etc., screaming and
darting to and fro. But by-and-by the
intense heat will silence all these, and
nothing win be heard but the chirp of
the grasshopper and the shriii sound OF
some unseen insect. At twilight again
there is a revival OF life, but not OF SO
cheerful a description. The cicades
shrek by myr.ads their deafening
'.p-r-r-r-r-r;" drowsy oppossums snarl
IN the gum boles. and hocks of cocka-
toos scream as some great gay kangaroo
bounds past them like a belated ghost.
If there is marshy ground near, the
deep boom of the bettern, the wall OF
curlew, the harsh cry of the crane,
minglIng possibly with those of a pass,
ing Oh returning flock Of black swans,
will add to the concert. In d moment
OF silence one may be startled by the
knocking laughter of the iackass, or the
melancholy ''me-poke" Of the bird of
the same name. The dead of night is
not SO still as the universal hush OF the
burning noon.

PENIS GROVE, N. j., SATURDAY NOVEMBER "a, 1883.

on with raw lacquer 30 as to give the
objects greater soiidity and to prevent
its breaking.
The primary coatings are put on with
q mixture of raw lacquer and burnt clay
powder, and afterwards stone powder;
when hardened they are rubbed with a
grindstone to smooth and polish the
surface. The next two or three layers
are done with inferior kinds of the black
or colored lacquer, according to the
color TO be produced. The lacquer is
applied in the first place with a wooden
spatula and afterwards with a very stiff
fiat brush, so as to smoother and spread
the lacquer equally. The surface is
then ground with water and charcoal.
of which latter two kinds are used, the
n coarse and hard, and the other
light and soft. As a popularity, it may
be stated hat the freshly Iacquered
objects are placed in large wooden
boxes, the inside of which has been
sprinkled or washed with water, so that
the process of hardening takes place IN
a dark and damp atmosphere; according
to the statements of professionals, thIs
p~recaution is absolutely necessary to
produce the speedy hardening and fine
appearance of the lacquer.
The final coating Is done with the
best lacquer of the kind required In tine
particular care, and after having been
carefully ground it is polished with
deer-horn powder. The black lacquer.
when finished, is repeatedly rubbed
with a ball slightly in the Seshinle lac
qiler, and each time carefully polished
with powder made of deer-horn. The
gold sprinkled lacquer, called NdshYl
LITERALLY pear-surface), is produced by
sitting a certain amount of gold leaf cut
into small pieces on to a fresh coating
of Seshinae lacquer. When hardened,
the surface Is smoothed and then coated
with a choice quality OF lacquer, called
the Nashtja urushi, which Is prepared
by carefully strain1ng and mixing it
with a small quantity of gomboge. The
lacquer when applied in thick layers,
is Opaque, and only becomes transpar-
ent in thin layers; SO that, by grinding
the final coating with charcoal, the
gold sparkles underneath can be made
more or less visible, according to the
will of the artist.
Finally, after being carefully polished
the object receives a very thin coating
of the same lacquer to produce the
glossiness. For common ware, tinfoiI
is used instead of goldleaf, but owing to
the yellow color OF the Nashiji urusht,
the tInfoil has Il gold-like appearance.
The method OF ~lacquering always re-
mains the same, but the number of
coatings can be reduced. The pruning
may be done with cheaper materials. or
the lacquer may be of inferior quality.
The final process of decorating the
objects is one which admits an almost
INFINITE variety OF devices, and consists
either of paintings or OF lncrustations of
mother. of-pearl, metals, etc., or else of
a peculiar preparation of the surface.

A new clock is in the window Of a
store in Philadelphia. 1t exhibits on
the dial the q arrangement OF hours
of standard railroad time which goes
into effect on many of the railroads in
a short time. The cumbrous look
which was to have been anticipated
from seeing numbers from l to "a o n
secutively is remedied by emitting
every alternate number; the numbers
reading thus, 3, 5, Z, 8, IL, etc. The
other hours are marked OH the disk
by a heavy black dot. The arrange
ment for marking minutes is the same
as usual. A moment sufiices to fa-
miliarize a person with the new reading
of time by the clock-face; thus, last
evening when seen it was 1927 O'Clock,
or as we would now say it, 5.27 p. M.

new plan finding immediate public
favor, and to its speedily supplantng

A German savant named Grusel-

the University Of Upsala, has been de-

and keep them in a torpid conditionfo
a year or two. In any case, he an
ounce that he will undertake by his
process to freeze up any lady orgentle-
men willing to submit to the expert
ment, and benumb them, deprive them
to all appearances of vitality, pledging
his word to bring them round again at
the expiration of a couple of years, with
no prejudicial effects to mind or body.
AS no adventurous person has come
forward to supply the savant with the
desired opportunity, he has submitted
his invention to the Swedish Govern
ment, with a request that a criminal
condemned to death shall be provided
to enable him to d monstrate the
efficiency of his discovery.

sam Pine.

sam Pine, the brutal assallant of Miss
Helen Stocum, of North Salem, New
York, and q burglar and horse thief.
who was recently sentenced by Judge
Sanford, at the criminal term Of the
Court, to fourteen years imprisonment
in the Connecticut State Prison, has
made his escape from the Jail.
"Sheriff Crosby discovered the fact
when he made his morning tour of the
corridors at Z O'Clock. Pine had saw
ed out two iron bars. each 1. inches in
diameter, through which he made his
exit to the ballroom, thence through
the hallway upstairs to the workshop,
where he removed a lock to the door,
entered the workshop, climbed to a wa
ter-tank, sawed a hole Though the roof,
and descended either by The lightning
rod OF conductor to the ground. As
soon as his escape was made known Sher-
III Crosby wifed State Attorney Fessen-
den at Stamford to come Immediately
to tliis city, where a council was held as
to the best means of re-capturing him.
"The plan was to keep the matter Sc
cret until after the publication of the
evening papers, on the theory that if
Pine did not escape till towards daylight
ne would be secreted some place near
the Jail and perhaps be discovered before
night.
Every effort on the part of private
detectives, however, failed to discover
him, and at 5 O'Clock in the evening
the general alarm was given from lip to
lip, and telegraph operators were busy
sending the State attorneys and sher-
ifs messages to all the adjacent princi-
pal cities and to every town in the State.
The message read:
1.-THE sheriff of Fairfield county of
fers $1,000 reward for the capture of
Sam Pine.'
st has been noticed by his attend
ants that he had been exceedingly re-
ticent since his capture, though after
his sentence he remarked to a deputy
sheriff that he was glad he had received
the sentence
No tools or other evidences of as
sistance were found in the cell which
he had occupied, nor over the pathway
to his freedom. 1t is unfortunate for
Sheriff Crosby that this infamous GRIM
nal should escape his custody immedi-
ately on the V of his reelection, tho
no blame can be attached to HIM in any
way for Sans escape.
The night guard was sleeping quiet
ly in an open cell at the end of the cor
ridor by which the fleeing prisoner pass
ed and whom he probably babe a silent
adieu. Every effort is being made to
recapture him, but with little probable
ity of success. The woods are being
secured, scouting parties have gone to
the negro settlement, and, stimulated
by a stiff reward, nothing will be left
nndone to bring the seoundrel to JUS
tice.
For years Sam Pine has been a ter
Tor and scarcely a crime short of muir
der but he has committed. Had he
been captured while the excitement ov-
er the brutal assault on Miss Stoeum
was at its height he would have been
stretched to a tree by the Infatuated
mob
