sENEFELDER'S DISCOVERY.
The Great Value of Lithc8ruphy In tho

The fall Significance OF Jsnefelder's
great discovery, jast 100 years ago, was
not so much that a %calcareoaa stone
may be- bitten by a weak solution OF
acid, so that tie raised portion when
creased (tLo surrounding parts being
wet) may print in u press like a wood
cut-thonsh with a scrapirg, not a d.
rect downward, pressure-but it consist
eain the demonstration, in the first place,
tLas prints from its surface may be re-
duplicated in vsst numbers without Wis.,
lille de~torioraticn. and in the second,
and still more important, that each such
print is practically all original. Nay,
nore than this. as IL. II. p. Dillon re-
minds ne in = %Y:rl,eGyric On his favorite
art, the greatest merit Ct this method OF
preserving aid indefinitely multiplying
u drawing lies in the escape Of the artist
from the tssautsere traditore-from mis-
representations by engfavcr or by cam
orr. Indeed, when tie artist has made
his design upon tho stone itse|f, each

graphic print taken from a ncgatiye is
an original and not a copy Of auy other
thing. Even when the artist has drawn
upon transfer paper instead Of Oh tire
stone proceeding for convenience SAFE,
which, in the opinion of some purists,
is held i'll q measure 10 invalidate the
name Of lithcgrsphy as applied to it.
though not thereby rejecting III any de-
gree On the beauty CT the work itseif),
tho impressions taken are still originals,
iHssnlUch as the actual work, the artists
own lines and cots, have in due course
been transferred bodily by mechanical
pressure to the surface Of the stone, aud
this, after il has been linked and printed
fro>1, renders each proof then taken Of
equal excellence. And the point of it all
Is this, that until tbs etone is linked and

BLUE PETER IN WHIST.
The Signal For Tyumps First Employed

fAs Signal For T.unps First Employed
by Losd Henry Beatiack.
There 10 a house in London which
should be the Mecca ef all whist players
who believe in the new school and the
"infozma-on" game, q shrine befoSo
which they should bow respectfully az
the fountain heed Of all that is modern
In the game. This is 81 St. James
street. and it il within sight Of Mari
borough Eocse. It's fame rests chiefly
on tile feet that it was at one time
known as Graham's CLUB, and that
within its walls Lord Henry 8entinck
first introduced the blue peter, or
signal for trumps, which consists in
playing a higher card before a lover
when 20 attempt ia made to win the
trick. That signal has been to the what
players Of the world like the pillar Of
FIRE to the children Of Israel For mc-e
than 40 years it has led them up and
down in the wilderness Of arbitrary con-
veations, but it has never brought them
TO the promised land Of better whist.
The blue peter was the introduction
70 whist Of a purely arbitrary signal OF
convention, and its seed has spread like
a thistle's until it has entirely overrun
the old game Of calculation, observa-
ton, position and t%enace," leaving In its
place long suits, American leads, plain
suit echoes, four signals and directive
discards. These seem to have ohoked up
all the dash, brillisney and individual
itY in our whist players reducing them
all to tho same lsvel, not by increasing
the abilities Of the tyro, but by ~curtail-
ing the skill Of tho expert-R. Frederic

"The slaveship was the Erie. and

was captain of the foretop and of

was accidental. The vessels dealing
in slaves would slip out in the inter
walls between the patrol beats of the
men-of-war, and they knew pretty
we'll our habits. But this time the
Mohican was delayed two days in
waiting for mail, and going from
the island of Fernandizo we sighted
a vessel making from the mouth Of
the Hongo. We were flying a French
flag, and the stranger Eoated an
American flag. We signaled for her
to leave to, but this request not be-
ing regarded a shot was fred. Thcn
she hove to without Offering re-
sistancc, ind a party sent aboard
found every one dressed alike. It
was thus some days before we dis
covered who Yves the captain. She
was manned by Is men ard had on

agents. The slaves we're landed,
ard the slave agents and five Span.
iards who did not wish to claim
American citizenship were sent
away in q tredeboat. Eight Of the
elaver's res were shipped on the

tho crew were brought to America.

association of Southern California was
held at the chamber of commerce rooms
yesterday. The report of President Ses-
siopS was review of the work of the as
sociation during the past three years Of
its existence and recommendations for
the future.
Speaking of the work done he said that
it was directly through the influence of
the dairymen Of Southern California that
the state laws had been made which
have resulted in the total exclusion of
oleomargarire from the markets of the
state and a difference of at least fifteen
per cent In the prices of dairy products
When the association was formed there
was imported into this state 100000
pounds of this product, and sold as but
ter, annually. Now it is believed that
there Is none whatever.
Prices are ranging better and Il the
creameries will properly associate them
selves they can easily regulate prices So
that the northern producers cannot ship
their butter to Southern California.
He recommended that dairy board Of
trade be formed Immediately, 80 that
any surplus of butter may be taken care
of at any time.
The report of the secretary showed
that the membership is ninety-three.
The election Of officers was held in the
afternoon as follows: President, c. H.
Sessions; vice president, Geo. E. Platt;
secretary, Jas. r. Boal treasurer, w.
H. Smith; directors, C. B. Woodhead,
