HOW TO VARNISH. YWttish should always be applied in a worm room, as warm as a per- ( soivc&a work in comfoitaHy. At a . lowertemperature tbero s always moisture in tho ai, 'sr invisible dew, which giveattie Tdrnlsh 'a milky and cloudy , aperace. This, wiljl happen eveji on rtflna summer 8 clay, and the only preventive is to employ artificial heat to produce a tempera ture of at least 75 deg. F. At this temperature the moisture is not pre cipitated until the alcohol of the var nish has sufficiently evaporated to leave a thin and smooth film or shel lac. The gloss and " durability are entirely dependent upon this. The article to be varnished Bhould be brought into the workshop a few hours before tho work begins, so that it may get warm. . The surface is smoothed, washed and rubbed dry with chamois leather, or a piece of silk, and every trace of dust, moist ' ure and dirt removed with a clean, soft brush, but no oil or grease must be used. The varnish is now lifted lightly with a flat brush not im mersed too deeply in it, and a thin coating applied. It is well to begin in the crater or at the highest part, and approach the edges with long, straight," rapid, and even strokes, and a gentle pressure. Care must be taken at the corners and edges. The film or varnish should be about as thick as a sheet of paper. - "When finished it ehould be exposed to the sun's rays or artificial heat, and care fully protected against , draft and dust, p Cold air or a draft over - the article gives the varnish a dull look. "When this happens the only remedy is to apply a second coating, and hold it near the fire so as to dissolve tho previous coat, but not so near as to blister it. Amending the Potter Law. The sentiment of the "Wisconsin journals shows a growing disposi tion among the people of that . State to require tho next Legislature to re move whatever unjust provisions are demonstrated in the Potter law. Their attitude seams that of gener ous conquerors. Having established their superiority over the corpora tions, they profess "no desire to do them injustice. Ample opportunity will be afforded to make amends. Carefully prepared comparative statements have been kept sinco the law went into operation, which will show the exact results from the same amount of traffic for a corres ponding period. The passenger re sults can be easily ascertained, and 1 will demonstrate whether the reduc tion of one cent per mile will have the effect to increase travel suffi ciently to overcome tho decrease in tho compensation. Tho information thus obtained is desired by tho Rail road Commissioners for the benefit and guidance of tho next Legisla ture. Origin of Typhoid Fevek. An Eng lish professor claims to huvo discov ered a new cause of typhoid fever. A family in his neighborhood was attacked with a severe type of the disease, and, on a careful search of tho premises, a spout in tho pump was found to be covered with a sort of gelatinous matter. Submitting this to microscopic investiagtion, it was seen to be a fungoid growth from which spores were constantly washed away by the flowing water. Following up this discovery by a mi nute examination of the outlet of the sewer through which the drainage of the town flowed, there was found fungoid growths of a similar nature to those in the pump spout. In the vicinity of this outlet the fever had also prevailed. Having cases of the fever in his own family, the profess or followed up his inquiry by a chem ical analysis of the water drank, and found in it minute spores of the same fungus. His conclusion is, there fore, that the fever had its origin in the fungus matter taken into the system, whore it ferments as yeast in beer, and poisons the blood. "My father w'as a farmer, before me, and I thank God that I am a farmer born." Such was the soap Porter expected to soothe the gran gers with on Fourth of July last. It reminded Col. Geo. Stanley of the Illinois orator. who addressed a rural audience: "Gentlemen," said he, "I am proud to be one of you. My fath er was a farmer, and I am a f aimer born. Yes I may truly say, I was born between two rows of corn." At this juncture a tipsy agriculturist at tho further end of the house - hic coughed out: "A (hie) pumpkin, by !" Eldorado Lvdjer.

Xew KeTiscd Edition. Entirely rewritten by the nhleid writerH on every subject. I'nmeu from new type, ana illustrated with Several Thousand Eutjrav ins and Majw. The work original! t pubis hed under the title of Tub New Amkrk-an CvniriDn was completed in since which time the wide circulation whir It it has nttaineil in all parts of the Unitfnl States, and th signal develoiments M-hich have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced theeditorsand publisher to submit it to an exact and thorough revis ion, and to issue a new. edition entitled The American Ctclopjedia. Within the hist ten years the procres of discovery in every department of knowl edge has made a new work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs baa kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and re finement of Frciallife. Great wars and con sequent revolutions have ocenred, involv ing national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own conntry, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily Iwen ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been com menced. Larco accessions to our ijeoKraphical knowledge have lcen made by the indefati gable explorersof Africa. I he great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose Uvea every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles hare been fought and import ant sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspa pers or in the- transient publications of the day, but whi h ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic hstory. Iifcprcparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to Irring down the information to the latest possiblo dates, and to furnish tin neeurate account of the most recent dis- ovcn; in science, of every fresh produc tion in liieiatiire. and of the latest inven tions in the practical arts, as well as to give succinct and original record of the prog ress of po'itical and historical events. The work has been begnn after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the mo st ample resources for carrying on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotvrje rlatea have beeen used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new CyclopflMtia, with the same plan and com pass as its predecessor, but with a far great er pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as hare een suggested by longer experience and en larged knowledge. The illustrations which arc introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial ef fect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural histo ry, and depict the most famous and remark able features of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of me chanics and manufactures. Although in tended fo rinstruction rather than embellish ment, no pains hare been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the coat of their execution ia enormous, and it-ia believed they will find a welcome reception aa an ad- i mirable featnre of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to ttaDsenners only. payable on delivery of each volume.
