WHAT IS A CIIU03I0 I Cliromo is it conveniout abbreviation of chroino-litboKraplior irlltliogrfipli in colord. To explain what it is, wo must first brieltydescribotho'plain lithograph. Of tlio various prints or engraving, tliero tiro tho&o printed from steel and copper plates and from wood-cuts, hut tho great mnjority.both fine and coarse, aro lithographs, printed from stone. Tho stono used is it peculiar limestone, capable of receiving a polish, and yet an absorbent of water. To print n litho graph, the stono in first polished, and then whatever design is required i3 drawn upon it with u pencil made for that purpose, and which contain somo icasy matter. Lot 113 suppose that tho artist draws a picture, or, what is sim pler, prints out the words "American Agriculturist." Tho stone is then wet ted, and the water sinks into tho pores everywhere except the places whero tho greasy ink formed tho words;. Ink, or paint, is then applied to tho wholo stono with a roller just as It is to types. This ink doe3 not adhoro to tho stono whero it is wet, but to the words drawn with tho greasy, pencil tho ink will stick. Then a sheet of paper is laid over tho stono, and tho wholo pasacd under a press ; when tho paper Is lifted off, it ill bo found to havo taken up tho ink left adhering to tho words upon tho .stone. This process can be repeated over and over indefinitely by inking tlio I stono and keeping it properly wot. , Now let us suppose thnt wo wish tho ord "American" printed in black and tho word" Agriculturist" printed in red ink. The lithographer would tako two stones, ono for each word, and print tho black ink with ono stono and tho red ink with another. Ho will tako caro to havo tho word on each stono in such a position, and to put his paper upon tho second stono in such a manner, that the words will bo in their proper places. Now, let us supposo that wo wish tho word "American" in black and yellow instead of all black, and"Agriculturist" red, ns before. This will rcqulro threo stones. Tho artist will draw with his greasy pencil, A e-i-a upon tho stono for black,and m r-c-n upon the stono for tho ellow, taking enro to leavo such spaces between tho lotters,that when tho black is printed, and tho paper placed on tho stono for tho yellow, tho letters will bo in their proper places. This is a very implo case, but it will cnablo us to ndcrstand how chrorao3 aro made. An artist paints a picture, using tho colors,and blending them in such a way as will produce tho effect ho desires. t is tlio business of tho chromo litho grapher to tako this picturo and icpro uco a copy by mcaus of printing In tho manner wo havo described. Thero must bo as many stones as thero aro colors and tints In the picturo. Ono stonomust havo all tho red drawn on it, another all tho bluo,anotliernll tho brown parts of tho pirturo, end so on. Sometimes ouo color Is printed over another in order to get tho proper shade, so that, to rcproduco tho picture, tho chromo has to bo printed a color and a bit at a time, on from ten to twenty or moro stones, every touch of tho painter being faithfully copied, when tho chromo picture has received 10 or 18 paintings, on so mnuy dlfllrcnt stono-s, so that It is Blinded every way like tho original, it finally pressed upon a clean stono vhieh has been cut In grooves liko tho threads of canvas, mid it now has all tho appearance of being n real painting on canvas. Tho reader will sco that it Is an im moiiso work to preparo tno uuierent stones nt first, so that each shall havo aomo partof the plcturoiujust tho right place and color. It takes threo to six months to propnroasetof stones for ouo picture, oven if but ono copy was to bo printed. But after tho stones aro onca prepared, copies can bo transferred to other stones In n fow minutes, and after that they can go on and print as many thousands, or tens of thousands, ns nro desired.

This custom existed in Darmstadt up to tho inlddlo of tho p.ovunloonth century, and was so com mon that a donkey was kept always ready for tho purnosO in tho capital and neighboring villages. If tho woman struck her husband in such n mnnncr that ho could not' ward off tho blow, tho donkey was led tiy tho man who had cliargoof hlra ; if not then by tlio husband himself. At St. Goar a miller was allowed a certain quantity of wood Trom tho forest belonging to tlio town, lu return for which ho was bound to supply a donkey to tho municipality whotiovor ron ulrod forthocliastlsonlont iof a'fccoldlng wife. Another very old .customer was that of punishing a hen pecked husband by removing tlio roof of Ills house, on tno ground that tho man who allowed his wife to rulout homo does not deservo any protection against wind and weather. If two women fought In public, they wcro each put in it sort of closed sentry-box, which only left their heads exposed, and then posted oppo-dto each other in tho market-place, whero they remained for an hour, face to face, but unnblo to uso their hands or feet. A common punishment for scolding women was tho "shameful stone," which was hung around ;thelr nooks. This stono was usually In tho shapo of a bottlo. At Hamburg libellers and slanderers woro compelled to stand on a block and striko themselves threo times on tho mouth as a sign of repentance. This custom still existed thirty or forty years ago. u some towns tho ''shameful stono" was in the shapo of a, loaf, whonco tho German saying, "A heavy bit of broad." At Lubeck It was in tho shapo of an oval dish, and in other places In that of woman putting out her tongue. Such stones wero usually very heavy. Ac cording to tho law of Dortmund and Halbcrstadt (1319,) they wero to weigh hundred-weight. Tlioso who wcro wealthy could purchase exemption from this punishment, with a bagful of ops tied with red ribbon. Anecdotes or Chief- Justice Marshall. Judgo Marshall's simplicity of char acter and nbsont-mindedncss havo been tho themo of a number of anecdotes. Tho ono bosf known is about his puzzlo over tho buggy and tho sapling. Turn ing asldo ono day to avoid ono of those awful mud-holes which abound in Vir ginia country-roads, tho axlo of his buggy encountered a stout sapling. Tho sapling was between tho hub of tho wheel and tho body of tho buggy. Too big tohonddownandtoosupploto break this sapling seemed to tho judgo to ho Tholiy uneoiKiucmblc. What to do ho new not. Ho got down out of tho buggy tho better to npply his great in tellect to tlio knotty subject nnd tostudy it thoroughly up. While ponderine: ninly, a uogro man carno along. "Uncle," said the Clilef-Justice, "I Ish you would tell mo about this sap ling. I can't got over it, nnd I can't get iround it, and I don't want to stay hero nil day and miss court. What do you think I had better do?" Tho old negro could not repress a broad but silent grin. "Why, olo mas tor," said he, "I 'spec' do bos' thing you kin do is to back yo' buggy till ou git clar of do saplin,' den turn do hade (head) of yo' hoss.and den you kin void do saplin' and go to coto slick s gooso grease." "Thauk you thank you kindly, un cle, I should never hnvo thought of that in tho world. You aro a man of superior mind. Tiiero's half a dollar for you." And the judgo drove joyful ly off. Anothor anecdote, illustrating tho amo simple-mindedness and easy good nature, lias, so far as I am aware, never been in print. It it this : When Judgo Mnrshall lived in Richmond his oppo site neighbor wn3 Colonel Pickett, fath er of tho Confederate General Georgo E. Pickett of Gettysburg famo. Colonel Pickett wus u man of wealth,lived woll, and was not contont unless everything about his household boro tho marks of good living. His horses wcro his prldo, and wero consplcuotH overy whero for their splonded appearance, being ns sleek, fat nnd high-spirited as abundant food and excellent grooming could mako thoni. Judgo Marshall's horses, on tho othor hand, wero notoriously lean and unkempt. Everybody but tho Judgo had loug remarked this. Al last it was brought to his notice, with tho sugges tion that his c.trrlage-drlvor neglected tho horses, sold much of their fond, and appropriated tho money t Ills own uso, good deal of it going, no doubt, for liquor. Tho Judgo called him up without do lay i "Dick, "what is tho reason Colonel Pickett's horses are in such splendid condition, while mlno nro almost skel etons? ,1 nm afraid you neglect them, don't half-curry them, and don't half- feed them." Dick, not expecting tho attack, was fairly posed. Ho hemmed and hawed nwhilo till ho could gather Ids negro wits about him, nnd then said: "Mars John, look nt you Is you fat'.'" "No," said the Judge "decidedly not." "Well, look -at old mjss" (Mrs.Mnr- Blmll)-l3 alio fat?" "No.'! "Den look at me Js I fat?" "No." "Den look nt yo' horses is dey fat?" "No." .

Do troof is, Mars Joliu, fut run in do Pick ett frttn'ly, nnd it don't run In our'n, Dat's all." " Well," paid tho. Judge, ufter a little reflection, "thero Is it good deal In that It nover occurred tomu before." Ho turned back into lil-v htudy, nnd Dick was nover troubled uuy more. -Lippliv cod's Magctslne, COL.

Wo havo looked upon him as ono to whom mankind has been under pe culiar obligations. Standing by tho sido of Evo as tho first married man, dressed in a sumptuous bear skin, ho appears to us as wo look backward through tho dim vista of tho centuries upon him as a person indispensablo to tho future of his race. Certain philoso phers would try to make us believe that this majestic figure is a monkoy ; and sometimes tho results of human events, elections for instanco, seem un accountable, except on tho Darwinian hypothesis. But wo hold that tho man who would reflect upon tho dear do parted in sucli nn uugratoful way docs not deservo tho .sympathies of his kind ; as for ourselves, we intend to nail our fig leaf to tho oust and cling to tho old Adam. What hi' know about farm- ingserved him in good stead in tho hour of his disappointment, and, though overmuch given to lying in tho shade and munching apples, wo know that when ho found himself ouo morn ing on tho wrongsido of a certaiu gar den gato ho indulged in no unmanly ropining3 ho neither whimpered over his Alto nor. mado faces and, shook his fist at tho guardian of tho forfeited pro mises, but diligently set himself to work to develop tho ordinary crab Into tho New York pippin. There aro certain times when wo llko to withdraw our minds from tho tur moil of the present age and dwell upon tho character of this grand old patri arch. Sometimes, oven when our desk may bo covered with hat accounts lost on tho election, wo get to thinking on Adam and don't caro how big tho liber al majority is in Now York. Adam was never troubled about election bets, or anything else, except tho grafts in his orchard. He had no mother-in-law and his wife nover bothered him with her milliner's bill. Ho had a natural antipathy to snakes, but ho was nover worried over missing .shirt but tons. Ho never supported an unsuccessful candidate for president and saw his hopes of a beat in tho cabinet grow dimmer and dimmer s the reports cama in. Nor went his cars deafened and his IVcliuga hurt by tho booming of thocaunou of tho radical party over at New Albany. Neither did ho re celvo tho ironical aud mallciou3 con oratulations of his neighbors tho morn Ing after tho election on tho fortitudo with which ho boro up under adverse news. His oyes wero never offended by tho crowing roosters and flaunting banners of his opponents ; for, barring his ono unfortunate speculation in fruit undertaken at tlio Instance of his sleoplng partner when tho devil mado a corner in apples, his life was eminent ly a success. To bo sure, ho had never had tho proud consciousness of having establish principles tl.at ho know would ulti mately win In spito of tho influence of a hostilo administration that for a while- brought Inovltablo defeat upon him nor did ho havo tho pleasuro of seeing tho old parly lines of Ignorance and reludico broken into fragments and disappearing before his vigorous assaults; but as ho sat upon tho hills facing tho sunset, in tho happy tlmo beforo his eldest boy began to bo fist and run around with strango women from tho land of Nod, ho could watch ills shoot ing scions without n care, nor trouble himself with tho future or his off spring. llo stands for us ns tlio grand exem plar of sucess, ns wo hear tho noiso of unsympathetic thousands snouting over ompty victories, and smell tho fumesof powder burnt In honor of a fitful and phemeral triumph, our thoughts go back six thousand years or moro to grand old Adam, and then Not a wave of troublo lolls across tho peace ful breast."
