An excellent imitation of old bronze

products of that character 1t is well
known that the repeated applications to
copper or brass of alternate washes OF
dilute acetic acid and exposure to the
fumes of ammonia result In a very an
tique-looking and highly priced antique
bronze; but a more rapid method of pro.
duclng this beautiful appearance has long
been disiderntum. ltis now found that
this may he accomplished by immersing
the articles in a solution of one part per-
chloride of iron in two parts of water, the
tone acquiring darkness with length Of
immersion, or the materials may be
boiled In a strong solution of nitrate of
copper.
1t is also found practicable to insure
the desired effect by immersing the arti-
cles in a solution of two ounces OF nj

The grave of Rio, Mr.. Stephens favor
ite dog, reminds one of the remark which
he made to his servants on his departure
for the governors mansion: "1f dog
passes here open the gate and give him
a bone instead of throwing rock at him. -
The many sheds around the premises re-
call his remark that he would never own
anything that he couldn't cover.
Under one of these sheds the close
carriage in which he made his last cam
paign for congress still stands, much the
worse for wear. In this carriage he was
driven by faithful Harry, and pulled by
the noted "flea-bitten grays," and in it he
received ovations in every county in the
Eighth district. His open carriage is in
good repair, in the ownership Of Mrs.
Sanford, and will yet do valuable service.
