Trii(iiiaxi, although a torni probably uiil'ainiliar to many of our readers, never! lieiest! deserves to rank ainonj the liner arts of modern civilization, Mich is the industry and skill and in jienuity with which it is carried out. Rums' cottar mother was eliielly ad mirable, for tlio skill witli which she 'Tar'il anld tilings as well as new," but the truqucur dovotes himself, on the contrary, to the art of making now things look quite as good as old. Tho connoisseur of furmtitru of tho pres ent day is well awato that, for certain important qualities of soundness, good workmanship, and good taste, that tlio "old is better," with valid reason also for his opinion. Rut tho crowd, who have neither his leisure, his knowledge. nor his experience, naturally fall into the hands of tlio scientific experts of truquage an easy prey to the spoiler. Tlio stock in tnulo or tho French truqucur and his English congoner quite as expert as he need not bo large. Walnut juice which jrives an agreeable mellowness of tone anil nitric acid aro nuitlier of thorn expons ivc. The latter imitates pretty closely the ravages of ants, and holes bored witli a tine auger easily give tho wormeaten appearanco which appeals to the love of the antique in carved furnitun Tho writer was informed by a work man s wife that her husband was one of those solely employed in the boring or anger business; but in Paris live worms aro kept to do the work, and do it oven better, ami to order, which more surprising. New oak can bo stained by a solution of old iron in hot vinegar, which darkens it to a deopo tone: it is then carefully oiled and polished. Tiie price demanded, how over, is such that "bargains" can be boasted of by the inexperienced, while really lino work always commands its value in the open market. The unhappy pieces of furnituro which have to date from tho sixteenth century aro sovorely beaten witli heavy bludgeons, which serves to give them tiie worn appearance necessary to three centuries of existence. A common do vice is to paint tlio panels of cupboards, roughly carved on tho promises, witli wnite paint. I noy aro tlion dried in tlio sun, and, after keeping some months, aro washed in potash, which removes the paint in patches, and the exquisite finish of the carving beneath is apt to bo taken for granted by tho buyer, who is aware that in the last century much good panelling was thus pauueu, aim preserved to our genera . . X 1 1 lion in consequence in all its pristine lreslinoss in cutting and outline. Hulil I of a very ordinary description is orna mented by I-iencli dealers with brass I scroll work, after the designs of (Jiliot, who succeeded isiiiu. i nose who can betaken in by those mechanical re pro- I ductions must be left to liio'r fate. In porcuiain and iaienco one can only say caveat emptor, so clover aro the trieki by which even the learned aro do ci'ivcd. At Cage's manufactory at Ver sailles tho faience de Seven is repro duced to perfection; but here all is fair and open dealing. If tlio buyer pro fers his purchase "antique, M. Cage will bake it for him until the glaze crackles. It is further mellowed in manure heap, and a slight extra charge is imposed. Tlio special marks of fav orito potters are easily imitated, and as much pains is taken with tlio spurious wares, witli intent to deceive, as would sullieo to give value to real specimens. Tlio character of the early decorations is carefully preserved the oven white of tho Moustiors ware; the dead dull white of tho Mnrsollai.se, and tlio care ful finish of the old Delft potters. At Venico the reproduction of tho old palatial furnituro is a thriving in dustry, and the same at Florence, but it possesses little or no arlislic valuo. Tlio ebony Is black stained wood; tho stipi aro bono and not ivory; tho shapos and patterns are, however, carefully copied, and tho prices aro not exces sive, and good patterns are a distinct ive gain in furniture; but tlio modern production will not have tlio lasting qualities of the old. Ivory triptychs are manufactured at Versailles. Tho golden tint is gained by lulling in oil, thon plunging into boiling water, and drying before a hot fire, which cracks tho ivory to perfection. Those require a very skillful eye to detect, as tho carv ing is often meritorious. F.vou works of tlio highest art do not escape tho tru- quorur. Clodlon, the late ominent French sculptor, discovered that a group bearing his signature had boon sold for -1,600 francs. Legal proceed ings wero instituted, nnd it was brought to light that the work In ques tion was duo to ono Lobroc, who h nd mnde it his study to imitate Clodion, Nevertheless, threo eminent judges Millet, Chapu, and ( ; tiilhiitnu. -after careful examination and in so.te of the signature, decided that in their opinion it was not the handling of Clodion. So the sales wero annulled and damages wero not allowed by tlio court. Clod ion's real name was Michel, and some of his earliest and lino-t works are thus signed. The arts of truquage extend themselves even to literature. As long ago as the seventeenth century we liud the printers of Lxonsand Rouen simu lating princcps editions of Racine and Moliere. The typo, tlio paper, the colophons, all being reproduced with unscrupulous accuracy, and then palm ed oil' as genuine upon the unwary purchaser. Tlio manufacture still prospers, added witli the photogravure processes and the art of the facsimile. So also aro old letters and autographs successfully lloated, signed by Cardinal do Retz, or Colbert, or whom you please, fetching a good price and al most challenging scrutiny. The his tory of the Shapira forgeries of tho Pentateuch aro fresh in tlio recollection of our readers. Tlioy were olio red at the modest price of one million ster ling. So also the famous venis Mar tin can still bo bought at Paris, very like, but still not genuine; and clover painters, whose work is as good its LaniTcts, can bo found to figure as Watteaus with no moan success. Rut at present the secret of the real Martin vernis remains as impenetrable as it is exquisite. in buying old oak furniture the buyer should notice the presence of absence of tlio "ties" or cross-bars near tho lloor, which aro invariably in tho con struction of tlio seventeenth century joiners. The forger is apt to forget this, and thus himself brand the work as spurious. Decoration was formerly tlio proper art, of a guild of Florentine artists in tho fourteenth century. Painters, jewelers, engravers, and metal workers lived in a happy stato of co-operative harmony, so that a coder or casket might bear the successive impress of many clifvor hands; as the enamel, the setting, the lock, the jewel work, would each bo executed by an arlisl-craftsnian, skilled at Dello, or Cellini, or Ghiborti. It will scarcely do to contrast the revived mode of painting on furniture, as wo behold it in tiie shops, with this delicate and masterly work. Vet many of our young painters might bo worse employ ed than in spending real thought and putting real good work on articles of daily use, which wo have to regard, un happilv, as necessarily ugly because utilitarian.

Tlio preacher demanded a bill of particulars Ho was told in an abrupt way that lie must pray for tiie president, and, to tlio astonishment of tho militia, lie prompt ly declared his willingness to comply witli tlio order.

In tho opposite corner wore tho doa cons ot tlio congregation. J ho white- haired preacher was hidden from view hub nd the pulpit longer than usual that morning, but at last the services begun and a breathless hush fell upon tlio assemblage as it solemnly knelt for tho prayer on which tho fato of tho con gregation was hanging. "O Lord,' said tho preacher, break ing tho painful sileneo which had fol- owed his introductory of thanks. "Rless this waiting congregation. HIoss Thy servant who shall address them this day and may ids words bo fruitful to Thy kingdom. O Lord, in a special manner wo pray Thy richest blessings upon the president!" "Amen! said tho kneeling militia ofiicers, nudging each other violently, while groat drops of prespiration stood upon the foreheads of the deacons. There was a brief and awful pause. -Lord," shouted tho preacher famil iarly witli sudden animation. "Thou knowest whom I mean. I mean JeH'ur son Davis!" HI, Louis Itcpub'.ican. A blind man was silting in company with some visitors when one ot the company left the room. "What white teeth that Judy has!" said tho blind man. "Why, said a friend, In great surpriso, "how can you toll?" "Uo cause," answered tho blind man, "for tho lust hour she has dono nothing but laugh." Young Men in Society. As a general tiling joung ladies are much more sclf-pov-csscd when they first go into society than mtng gentle men, and while the girl of -ixtion is helped out by the kindness of other women and Die att ntion men always pay to the rosebuds, if they aro pretty or pleas'ng, the boy of eighteen or nineteen is left lo do the be.-t he can for himself, and if he is modest, well bred and not conceited, lie often retires from society after a few brief plunges into it. Vol, after all, hollow as society is. in many professions it is necessary for a young man to hold his own ami appear well on social orea-dons. It is also a relief lo any one whose feelings aro strong anil who is apt to grow melancholy in solitude to have somewhere to go." I presume many originally able men who have become oddities, and grown careless in their habits and oHensivo in their manners, might have been comfortable and well liked if they had taken a little pains to know a few people, and to bo sought at least in some small circles of society. Long ago Lord Chesterfield said to his son: "Vour ligure is like other people's; I hope you will take care to dress so, too. Why then should jou be ashamed? Why not go into mixed company as freely as into your own room?" And he adds: "I remember that when, witli all the awkwardness of college about me, I was introduced into good company, 1 was frightened out of my wits. If I saw people whispor 1 was sure it was about me, and thought myself tho ob ject of tlio cencure or ridicule of the whole company, who, heaven knows, did not trouble themselves about me. In this way I sullercd martydoin, and should certainly have renounced polite, society forever if 1 had not been ab solutely convinced of the necessity of forming my manners. I remember at. last gaining intrepidity "enough to go up to a line woman anil tell her that I thought it was a warm day. She ans wered mo very civilly and said she thought so, too; upon which the con versation on my part ceased, until she remarked, good naturedly lcsiiining it: '1 see your embarrassment, and I am sure tlio few words you said to me cost you a good deal; but do not be dis couraged. All you want is manner, and you do not want that as much as you think you do.' " Lord Chesterfield was supposed to bo one of the most elegant men of ids day; and the bashful boy who made an ef fort to say, "It is a warm day, madam," became ambassador to tho Hague, viceroy to Ireland, secretary of state, and member of the cabinet. Ho had all tho elements of social sitccesa within him, and yet, no doubt, ho might have gone to the wall but for that determination to form his manners in good society. And what was said so many years ago to a bashful English youth a bashful boy of any nation may read with benolit: "Do not be dis couraged. All you want is manner, and you do not want that ns much as. you think you do." Harriet Trow bridge, in Good Housekeeping, A Blazing Monarch. Coal is no longer king in Pittsburgh.

Ono of tlio best known mining engineers in the United States, in fact tho man who built many big mines and tunnels oh the Paeilio coast, and whom wo will call Smith for tho sake of the story, told tho Casual Observer the otherday that while superintending tho construction of a mine at Virginia City, on which mostly Chinese labor was employed, tlio foreman of one of tho tunnels came to him one morning nnd said: "Mr. Smith, u Chinaman was killed this morning by a fall of rock In the tunnol. We'll have to kill another buforo night." "Why so?" was tho Inquiry in reply. "Well," said tho foreman, as he took a fresh chew of tobacco, "It's easier to carry two dead Chinamen out of camp than one." The engineer got mad at this and pro hibited any reckless exposure of life. Rut siiro enough before tho night fell another Chinaman had been gatli red to his fathers. Tho manner of carrying tho dead Chinamen out of camp was to hang one body on each side of a mule. If Jiero was only ono dead Chinaman it took two men to carry him oil', one nt his head nnd another at' his heels. New York Graphic.
