ReDOussee Work.

Amateurs ShOlld commence operations
(says writer in Cdsseips Mdgdziae) with
the thinnest eet-brass, for there is but
slight difficulty in ornamenttng that. Take
a small square piece first, and hammer out
a pattern on it for the sake of practice. II
Is done In this manner: The design is first
drawn in ink on the brass; block of lead
must then be procured on which to lay the
brass during the hammering process, or, in
lieu of that smooth board will answer
the purpose. The pattern on the brass is
now gone over with tracer" which is
something like chisel, quite lightly at
first, so as only to indicate the outline this
is repeated several times until it is suffi.
ciently defined, II is mistake to imagine
that 1t might as we'll be marked out firmly
enough the first time TO bring the pattern
into relief. If the attempt is made it will
be found that the lines are bent into unde.
sirable shapes The tracer makes mum.

necessary before they can be Joined imper.

The longer the background is beaten the
higher the design will stand out. Similar

gotten that the longer it Is beaten the more
brittle it becomes. A good plan is to work
from the edge of the brass up towards the
pattern. Thin sheets of brass are apt 10
curl up during the hammering; to avoid
this the edges should be turned over the
block. Having become acquainted with
the working of thin sheets, the worker can
try his hand atthe thicker kind. II is more
difficult to manage, and the process is some.

WE DO NOT CLAIM

thar HOOPS SARsApARILLA will cure every
thing, but the fact that on the purity and
vitality of the blood depend the vigor and
health Of the whole system, and that disease
ofvarious kinds is often only the sign that
nature is trying to remove the disturbing
cause, we are naturally led to the conclusion
that remedy that gives life and vigor to
the blood, eradicates scrofula and other Inn
purities from 1t, as HOOPS SARsAPARILLA
undoubtedly does. must be the means OF pre-
venting many diseases that would occur

esq, Of the Examiner, happening to be in
New York early in the week, while wading
through the muddy Streets was met by Puck,
who mistook him for Mayor Grace and took
him to account for the condition of the me-
tropolitan highways and by-waya Mr..
Lyte protested that he wasn't the mayor, but
even his candid face did not convince the
doughty little pictorial journalist; and so he
put Josh in his paper this week, blue coat,

THE TABLES TURNED.

The Chinese Administer Severe Defeat
to the Frencl-General Negrier Wounded
Seriously and His Army On Full Retreat
With the Chinese in Pursuit.
PARIS, March 30.-The news of Gen.
eral Negrier's fresh defeat has put Paris
in a turmoil of excitement that has hardly
been excelled since the Germans were
here. The streets are thronged with
crowds, and the boulevard cafes are
packed with excited people. Every
body is discussing the news from
Tonquin. The fact that General Ne
grier is wounded, perhaps unto death,
saves him from much harsh comment,
but the boastful tone and obvious over
confidence of General Briere DeLisle's
dispatches are severely criticised. The
wrath of the Parisians, however, is main
ly concentrated on NJ. Jules Ferry They
say that at least Generals DeLisle and
Negrier are offering their lives for
French glory, but that the Premier
is doing nothing but spending money
on chimerical enterprises, and
is wrinoing the money from
the poor by unprecedented taxes
on food The feeling is very bitter
against the Ministry.
A report is in circulation that General
Negrer has died from his wounds. The
Cabinet met at eight O'Clock last even
ing. Another meeting will be held at
nine O'Clock this morning.
PARIS, March 30.-An official dispatch
from General Briere DeLisle, dated
March 28th, has been received at the
War Office, detailing further disaster to
the French forces in China The Chinese
attacked the French at Milena, and drove
them from their position with serious
loss, the French falling back on Lang
Son, pursued by the Chinese. A de-
termined stand was made. at Lang Son,
where the fleeing army were reinforced
by the French troops occupying that
place, and desperate battle was fought of
several hours duration. The French were
finally compelled to retire from Lang
Son, leaving the Chinese in possession.
General Negrier was dangerously wound
ed in the chest. The total number killed
and wounded is very large. General
Negrier's army is in full retreat, close
ly pursued by Chinese. General DeLisle
implores the Government to send rein
forcementS at once.
PARIS, March 30.-News of General
Negrier's defeat and retreat from Lang
Son caused great excitement here. A
council of war was held yesterday after
noon, but nothing is known Of its delib-
erations. 1t is understood that large
body of troops will be sent Immediately
to reinforce General De Lisle.
