' “ • Pray let us have the spenifti favor of judging for ourselves I All the world has heard Thai berg upon the piano forte; let us have the privilege of bear ing him on the banjo.' “ With his uniform kindness, he at once opened the case. It was empty. Tlialberg, with the enthusiasm of all young students, had attacked with too much warmth tlie melody. “ *0 Susannah !' don't you cry tor me I com-- from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.'* and alas I the instrument Avas now gone to the shop for repair. “Thus we have not yet heard Thal berg on the banjo I When we hare that I honor, tlie world shall surely knoiv it.

In relation to those engravings the Home Journal says:—“ Washington uni venial There is one man, at least, whose portrait may well adorn every wall The head of General Washington is the universally recognised sign and symbol of our American ideal of virtue and patriotism.

They ha am found a w to print in oil colors a transcript o" strnil, of tho lamous portrait of Wssi gton, by Gilbert Stuart, presented complete in eight colors. The process is a new dis covery, called tho chromatic, and pa tented in J-iondon. Thiß is both cu rious and valuable; and let us hope that, by making Washington almost omnipresent, it may make the influence of his sainted name universal." Charles CnssKltty.

In the manufacture of patent leather there are two distinct operations— the first being the preparation of the leather for reception of the varnish, and tho second, coating the leather with brilliant and transparent varnishes. The first tiling is the preparation of i the linseed or drying oil which is done as follows: Five gallons of linseed oil , are boiled with four pounds and a few ounces of white lead, and an equal amount of litharge, (each in a state of ’ fine division,) until itbecornes of the con \ sistence of a syrup. This mixture is then ! united with an ochre or chalk, aeeord -1 ing to the quality of the skins that are [' to be treated, ami it is evenly spend on both sides of the leathei and well rub j bed in. There very thin coats are ap r j plied, allowing each to dry before the [! other is put on,and the surface is ground J down with pumice stone i his process !of laying on the drying oil.and rubbing j down is continued until a sufficient [. | quantity has been laid on to prevent ; ” the varnish from penetrating the leath i er. t To the presence of so much lead in patent leather we think, we may ascribe ; the pro valance of tend-i feet, corns and .; bunions, among these who are iu the | habit of wearing boots of this material, J as it has a very drying and drawing ae- - | tion ; and persons who so indulge, look ! shiny about the feet at the expense of their health. They had better exert themselves a little, by using paste black - j ing, and thus be able to walk in com i fort and with ease. j The leather being thus prepared, a ,| mixture of the linseed oil and lead with | fine ivory black is made, and a little j turpentine added, to make it flow ettsi- • Jy : this is laid on by means of a soft , ' brush, and five or six coats are applied. f (This gives the surface of th** leather a v ! rich black, shining, pliable surface, i ; over wdiich, when dry, the varnish may 1 I be applied. | The varnish is composed < f one pound i 'of either asphalte, prass-ian blue, or fine i i ivory black, ten pounds of thick copal j varnish, twenty pounds of the linseed ; oil prepared as before described, (l y i lx>iling with litharge and lead,) and i twenty pounds of spirits of turpentine. ; • The various tints are given by the van- ; !ouscoloring materials added; thus, as givei- a >t reddish color. Prussian ! blue a greenish blue metallic tint, and |; the ivory black, which is the most com mon, a beautiful and brilliant black, j The chief uses for this leather are then manufacture of bouts and shoes, and ! i the aprons and fittings of wagons and j j carriages.
