thorn the Englishwoman's Convirsazional
Material]lilies 'writes to the Engti.thwo
vnan's Conversazione as follows: "I think
• there is much nonsense talked in our •days
about governing our children by moral force,
as it, is called. For my. part, I think there is
aa, moral . faculty sufficiently developed in
children lint'''. •thirteen'or:;fourteen -,- years •of
age, at leastenough to enable.one to dispense
with-- all ' means - of correction, save what
appeatitO that . faculty. But what is to be
done meantime? Are we to 'allow•disobedi
mite-' falsehood,' paSsion tto'go unchecked,
and to grow,'hy unrestrained liberty, 'until
thejUdgment; is sufficiently ' matured? Many
parenta prime this pistn, saying, in those well

Bow Often have even grown per
sons wished that there were.. something like
parental correction inflicted . on themselves,
when - they looked back on some ebullition of
temper, and so on! But, in the case of our
children, what is to be done? I, for my part,
unhesitatingly declare for the rod, and for the
following reasons:, First, it is les4 cruel than
any.other mode of punishment. Deprivation
of food, or of some privilege or enjoyment,
or reclusion tfrom the • family, invariably
arouses bitter or sullen feelings, and takes a
'-'!:,. long period to put properly in practice. Now,
.. - V my belief is, that when a grave sin is coin
nutted, the sooner it is punished the better,
A and..the,. sooner confidence' and Meritishitt
between- - parent and • offending - :, 'chilli
can • be restored the better. What can
' accomplish these objects so - welt.as that
old-fashioned way in which we were pun
ished long years ago—a short, smart whip- •
.ping with open hand or : little rod or
brpont on that safe, soft spot which can
be made thus to tingle so e f fectually, yet
ealietrml.lssly ? This, was my own dear.
.04mother'e plan, and I can safely say that
though I well remember being subjected
. (with •my sisters) to that kind of discipline
until fully fourteen years of age, we never
1.•, thought.it either ignominious or cruel; and I
• can S...*AlfWer for itttoo, in the case of my own
- daughters. Some of my friends, who know
my. plan, smile at me—but the 'proof of the
pudding is in the eating.' I have my girls'
fulle4love and confidence '
• yet I never omit
the punishment for certain faults; at the, same
~,,. time it causes' hardly an hour's iatermission
of our happy intercourse. It is, of course,
inflicted in strict privacy, and without anger
or scolding. A short while ago, I tested
both • plans in the case of. a niece,
a girl of thirteen, . who was placed
• under my control in my hodse. She
bad been reared on the "moral force'
plan, and was as bold and disobedient a child
as could be met with. For a month I tried
the `moral' plan,' but in ' vain. At length I
'•:' resolved to see what the rod would do, and
so t taking her with me one day, after gross
.: misconduct, into a secluded room, r lectured
' ' her kindly and gently on her , behavior, and
, ~• finished by telling her that as all other means
..' had failed, I would now give her a sound
whipping.. She was much dismayed, as you
may, guess; but seeing : how calm and deter
mined I was she. quietly , submitted, and I
gave her what some. American friends call a
'spanking,' sharp, , Short and effectual. From
that day the greatest change has been visible
. . in her, and ttioughtbut months have elapsed,
' 1 have found - itliecessary to repeat the opera•
gtoion only twice. I tam your correspondents

a, lover ot. discipline writes: "I have just
beerereadbegin your admirablarnagazine the
remsoks of. your ;correspondents on the im
portant subject of corporal chastisement for
children; as I have had some experience in
that way, perhaps you will kindly allow me
to relate it. I may, then, state that in conse
quence of my wife dying about three years
ago I was left with the entire management of
my children, two girls-and four boys. The
latter I sent to a boarding school, and em
ployed a governess to superintend the educa
tion of the young ladies, who, until eighteen
months ago, bad been carefully trained under
the no-personal-chastisement system; but
their progress was so very unsatisfactory, : and
their general' conduct so insubordinate and
unladylike, thati yielded to the solicitations
of the governess, and consentedeo her intro
ducing the rod one was accordingly pro
cured, and at her suggestion'it was made of
Loft - pliable - - leather, cut" into - long narrow
thongs'at one end, which she assured me pro
duced intense pain with little or no injury to
the.pereen. It was used for. the first time on
the occasion of the- girls being detected in
pilfering' money, after." had examined them
and found there was no doubt of their guilt.
I directed the governess to inflict upon _each
of them a_most severe whipping, which Was
ananged to take place In the boudoir imme
diately after evenueg prayer.l. The eldest was
first taken to her dressing room and prepared
for the rod,and then conveyed to. the boudoir
by the governege, who at once adininislered
ta whipping with the rod. Then the
Younger girl was also taken • to the
boudoir •and a. like. punishment -inflicted.
The whippings were administered sopra
dorsstm nuchtm, the . delinquents be
ing tightly, strapped to, an ottoman during the
Castigation, at the cOnclusion, of which they
had, to kiss the rod and thank the governess,
*hen 04 were pennitted •to retire. Since.
then there , has been a marked 'improvement
in their behaviokand the progress made in
tharlitifffealiaTi gratffyint.' It is
now nearly nine months since one had to be
corrected in the boudoir, although the rod is
yet occasionally applied to the palms of their
hands when they are negligent. I have also
used it with good effecton my boys, and find
it far more efficient:than the birch, which oc
casions considerable injury to the person after
a severe applieation. This is not so where
the leather rod is.used, while at the same time
the pain suffered by the delinquent is much
more acute, and this -I. think should be the
object of all whippings to make them re-.
membered. In conclusion, I would recom
mend your correspondents to obtain a rod
such mil have described, and they will find
that after using it thoroughly once or twice
their children will become perfectly docile."
Another English mamma writes: "A Lover
cif Obedience haw established a claim on the
gratitude of every sensible mother of a family
,by her very distinct account of her mode of
domestic discipline in your valuable maga
gine for October. If all mothers were as wise
es she, we should have fewer complaints as
to the 'girls of the period,' and I may add of
the boys also. I hope her example may in
duce several other sensible mothers to give
the-public, in your columns, the benefit of
their experience, for I am convinced that in
this way many of the too easy mothers of the
present day may be induced to adopt the sys
tem which she recommends, of severe per
eonal correction, as being in general the best,
if not the only way, of producing in all
children the wholesome obedience and sub
ordination to authority, which is now so
lamentably deficient in the children of the
present day. Ido not share in her objection
to the lash, which I think is, in many re
spects, the best - instruments' of correction,
leaving, as it does when properly used, un
pleasant reminiscences of the punishment for
the next day or two, but I suppose, as she
advocates personal chastisement up to
fourteen or fifteen (and I think-the age
may often be advantageously extended a year
or two), and seems to use the slipper only up
to ten or twelve, that she adopts the rod for
the' ages older than, she has named. The
treatment recommended is particularly de
sirable for boys. Unless a mother uses her
authority in this way, she loses all hold of
them as they begin to grow up, and when
fear and reverence cease,.good-bye to affoo
tion. The chief difficulty in the way of
carrying 'out this excellent system lies in the
fact that children cannot always be educated
at home, and that for want of really good
schools, where maternal care is combined
with maternal discipline, children, especially
girls, are apt to lose the habits of obedience
and reverence which proper home discipline
always produces. 1 myself feel this difficulty,
and I shall be very glad to know, for the
benefit of my daughters, of any good high
class schools, taking girls up to, 15 years of
age, and even older, where the rod is in regu
lar use to enforce both diligence and good
conduct. Perhaps some of your numerous
correspondents can recommend some schools
of this kind. I should like to know the ad
dresses of A Lover of Obedience, and of an
English Mamma, who also takes a sensible
and practical view of this very important
subject."
Marquise says `'.l cannot say I agree with
A Lover of Obedience on the subject of cor
poral punishment for children. She says she
has been iu the habit of whipping her chil
dren with a slipper till they were ten or
twelve years old. If. then, as she seems to
think. these punishments are efficacious, how
is it she has taken at least ten years before
she could inculcate ebedience ? It seems to
me it would have been better to teach obedi
epee from a sense of right than to have to
punish continually for the same offence.
blethers and fathers can whip their children
while they are young and weak, but when
they are older, and whipping becomes. im
possible, will they have learnt to control
themselves and give voluntary obedience to
their parents in the place of the forced? We
do not educate our children for the present,
bet for the future; we. do not care so much
tor our authority now (only for the sake
of - authority) as we care to teach
them how they may govern Vuemselves by
and-by when they are away from us, out in
life. Obedience must be enforced when the
child is very young, but when it is old enough
to'understand reason, would it not be better
to bring in a principle of right ? It must be
a very bad child indeed who will not listen
when its mother talks to it. Th6practice of'
whipping children has another drawback,
and it is a drawback I have seen in many
families of my acquaintance. The children
are frightened into concealing their faults, or
into trying to lay the blame on some one
else. There is none of that honorable feel
ing which will make a child ,take the whole
blame and its consequences on itself rather
than let another suffer, or even be suspected,
wrongfully; I have never touched one of
my chlidren, yet they are very obedient, and
most trustworthy; I think they care for me
too much to wilfully pain me. Would the
English mamma object to mention the age of
her daughter, who seems to require such
very harsh measures 74'
A father writes: "If not 'trespassing too
much on your space, I should like to say a
tew words On the subject of the chastisement
of children. Speaking from experience, I
know that it is something effective. Like
Pater, I have a daughter who, at the age of
fourteen, was a very disobedient girl; after
trying all methods, I advised her mother to
try the effect of a good whipping. -It was
not, however, without considerable difficulty
that I prevailed upon her to dolso, arid tor the
purpose of punishment I made her a rod of
three or four long but slight twigs, treb
ly cut from the garden. This, however, her,

mothers at first refused to use, aad
treated the girl somewhat after the
fashion of an English mammtt, by giving her
a few smacks without removing any-under
clothing. This treatment-she ; , found to be
quite useless, and a iveelioi tWo after made
up her mind to use the treatment. I had pro
vided her with,and next time the itirl offended,
greatly astonished her by-taking her - upstairs
and telling her what she intended doing with
her. The girl was big of her age, 'and it was
with considerable diffigulty that her mother
prevailed upon her to submit; and not until
she threatened to call for the assistance of the
servant did she allow her under-clothing to
be removed, when the - administration of
about a dozen and a-half sharp strokes pro
duced loud prbmises of amendment; an effect
which we never regretted, for she improved
greatly from that day." -
J. K. writes: "On the subject of discipline
for girls ' allow me - to - state that we - had a
niece of fifteen to educate who was of a very
obstinate and determined temperament, and
who is now being gradually_ broukht - a`

"Euphemia.Wilmot" is &married woman
of some experience,and when she administers
punishment to her daughters (grown-up girls)
—which is required but seldom she locks
the offenders up in a private room, and • pro
ceeds, after explaining the nature of the of
fence, "to the most motherly of all chastise
ments, with the birch rod," and the result is
eminently satisfactory. "Georgians" believes
that the birch for smite young
_ladies is a
very risefutintnishnient, though she cannot
help aeknowledging,', from her ciwn 'experi
ence, that it is a very horrid and painful
one. Companion governesses administer this
punishment as frequently as school-mis
tresses. -

The following amnesty proclamation.was jo
inted by the President yesterday,
Whereas, The President' of the United' States
has heretofore set forth several proclamations of
fering, amnesty and pardin to persons who had
been or were concerned, in the late rebellion
against the lawful authority of the Government
of the United States, which proclamation's were
severally issued on the Bth of Decetnber, 1863;,0n

Whereas, The authority of the Federal Govern
ment having been re-established in all the States
and Territories within the jurisdiction of the
United States, it is believed, that such prudential
reservations and exceptions as at the dates of the
said several proclamations were deemed necessary
and proper, may now be wisely and justly relin
nuished, and that a universal amnesty and pardon
for participation in said rebellion, extended to
ail who have borne any part therein. will• tend to
secure permanent peace, order and prosperity
tbronghout theland, and to renew and - fully re
store confidence and fraternal feeling among the
whole population, and their respect for and at
tachment to the Naticinal Government, designed
by its, patriotic founders for the general good ;
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, by
virtue of the power and authority in me vested
by the Constitution, and in the name of the sov
ereign people of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare unconditionally, and with
out reservation, to all , and to 'every person who
directly or indirectly participated in the late in
surrection or rebellion, a full pardon and am
nesty for the offence of treason against the
United States, or of adhering to, their enemies
during the late civil war, with restoration of all
rights, privileges, and immunities under the Con
stitution and the laws which have been made in
pursuance thereof. In testimony whereof I have
signed these presents with my hand, and have
caused the seal,ol the United Mates to bo here

PIMA DELTeIit.—TWO Or the students of our

he other is E. L. Scull, amateur in water-colors,
ter a tour which extended as far as Naples.
We observe that Peterson,' put out this season

Nzw YouK.—The ode of the Artists' Fund SO
ty of Now York took place at Miner &
fa Gallery on Tuesday evening.• This was the
.inth anenai vendee, for the
.purpose of real
izing upon the pictures contributed se subectip
ons by the membent. Some °files prices were
igh; ionsidenble sump to the artists
after 4 he value of their dues should be kept track.
Artists lately of Philadelphia sold as follows:
George C. Lambdin, "Good Day for firtnnieur

nd "An Engineer in Little," $55. Alexander
Lawrie,"Lake Champlain from the Adirondaclut,"

ork artiste as follows: Kensett's "Autumn"
lid for $220, and his "Beverley Coast" for $405.
Eastman Johnson's " Young Mother " brought
*4BO, and his "Oar Father who art in
Heaven," $6lO, the highest price at
tained. Bristol's "Buck Mountain" brought
$2lO. Whittredge's Twilight in the fihawangunk
Mountains reached $350, and "Sunday Morning,"
1370. Casilear'e "Afternoon," $215; and "White
Mountains," $175. The literary artists, Cranch
and Eugene Benson, soared superior to pecuni
ary enort•se: the latter permitted his "Expecta
tion" to fail on $22 50. and Cranch got $32 50
Tor a view near Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The
annual dues are $75 each, and we pity the large
number, forty, of the artists whose pictures
brought aims under that amount, to be made up
from their purses. As to the pictures selling
above that figure,we do not know how much the
Fund keeps in its fiscal, probably at least $lOO,
though the Evening Post thinks that all the sur
plus is handed over to the member, It is for the
artists of the association to decide how long the
association will 'prove a profitable fund when
nearly two-thirds of the annual contributions
bring less than the annual dues.
Governor Hoffman has received a letter from
George W. Childs, of the Philadelphia Ledger
(now in Earope), in which Mr. Childs expresses
a wish to erect in Central Park at his own ex
pense, a stone statue of Franklin, by the cele
brated Philadelphia sculptor Badly. The Park
Commissioners have requested Gov. Hoffman to
inform Mr.Chllds that they accept his veryliberal
offer, with many thanks.
Mr. Egbert P. Watson writes to ilarivesiVeeldy
on the subject of bogus bronzes: "Perhaps , yon
will allow me to say to your readers that nine
out of ten of the so-called bronzes put-up at
street auctions about holiday time are not bronze
at all, but simuly "Berlin iron" castings, bronzed
or colored to represent a better. material. The
chief value of a bronze ornament,. or statue, lies
In the degree of skill displayed by the designer ;
next to that the workmanship in carrying out the
design: and lastly the material. Cast Iron may
be bronzed to look as well fora time, and a long
time, as true bronze, but it is extremely brittle
and delicate; and if accidentally overeat the prin
cipal 'parts are broken past remedy, of coarse
utterly destroy i ng the vane of the
article. This is not -so with true
bronze, which has not only' twenty per cent.
more strength than cast iron but bears sudden
jar better than It. The., only way :for an inexpe-,
rienced person to tell real bronze, front a'piece of
cast iron is to scratch or tut some of the inside
portions with a knife{ if the abrasion is white it
is iron, if it is yellowieh brown it h 3 true bronze.
The actual value of iron castings is live cents a
pound; of bronz.e, seven or eight times as -much.
When I add that auctioneers bid off these castings
at the pries of true brour.es, it will be seen that
some reflection and care must be taken to ayold
deceptiCon." • -
COMMISSIONER LESLIE'S RIWORT 027 TEE Furs
ARTS OF THE Exrostriore..=Mr. Frank Leslie
sends us a copy of his Report. It is a quarto of
4 Pages. handsomely but incorrectly printed by
the Government office.• To ns the most interest
inc. part—as perhaps to Mr. Frank Leelle him
self. who is professionally interested in all multi-
PlYing Processes-AB his clear and able resumb of
some modern methods of autographic engraving.
W , wish he had extended his investigations to
th se processes by which photographs are copied
in. stereotype andprlnted form, very tine speci
mens of which were at the Exposition. Here are
the Commissioner's notices of four important
substitutes - for the - engraver's toll:
The Graphotype Process is an American inven
tion, but adopted in England, whereby, the droy r _
ing is made on the surface of tine chalk, cotn
panted under great hydraulic pressure, with a so
lution of silica, which hardens the lines, after
-which thh chalk between them is brashest away,
and the /ince left in relief. From the relief that'
. _ .
prodded, It cosy to obtain stereotypes or ele.
otypke for use In relief printing; • •

varnished as if tor ttching, the euttjec dr4wn.
With an etcbing point;and bitten in op alitafortit
exactly in the way that is called -the flt,at
The plat() previously covered' with varnish at
the - back, is;then put into is gold bath • (electro
gllding,) when the !lines•on the copper etched
d consequently Undefeneed by the varnish and
elle:Idly incised, are covered with'a thin costing
of gold. •The plate is now cleaned of the varnish
and recovered with varnish applied by a dabber
and ?resettle the appearance of a . copper-plate
inked ready for printing.
It is now Moaned of .the varnish, which rests
only on the gold incised lines. The plate is then
put into !an acid bath, and what; the engra - ver
cads the. "whites" aro bitten away, leaving the
drawing in relief. which is then mounted as an
ordinary cast. The ,obJect of the gold bath is to
protect the lines of the etching against the too
uncertain action of, the acid; but the process can
be effected without
The Giltot.Pteeele,.—On'., 'p" 'Of zinc
polished, a transfer is made of rr' , ;reline* , litho
graphic drawing, either by pen 'or pencil. The
plate of zinc is covered on the back by a . layer of
oil varnish and submitted to a bath of 'sulphuric
acid diluted with water. Every part.of the plate
not covered either by the Ink of the transfer or
by the varnish is bitten or hollowed oat by the
acid and leaves in relief tho covered parts, which,
motinted7on wood, form a castrnplacing an -en
' graving on wood. ,TI2C process Is very quickly
eiecuted, and offers great advantages for inns
, trations which will not bear delay. It offers also
this considerable advantage, that all drawings
executed in lithography of• all kindS, etchings,
engravings on steel, plates of music, etc., etc.,
from which can be taken a proof on paper, are
, :rapidly -tratitsformed---intce-w-cast, - - and can be
printed With the test.
The.most marked disadvantages of this process
are these: 1. Breaking down of the lines in the
operation oftransfer, however delicately ,this
operntiMf may be performed: This thickens and
biers the delicacy of the originalwork: , 2. Diffi
culty of obtaining the tints when the work is
taken directly fromiltbagrapby in pen and ink.
The blotting is very apparent when it a litho
graphic drawing::
This
This proceis serves for the illustration of a
number of Journals, is e. Le Journal Ansusant,
La vie Pariaienne, La Lune, and several others.
The Conte Process,—lnstead of transferring the
-drawing on es - plate of zinc, the plate is covered
with a white varnish, sufficiently adherent for a
tracing and sufficiently soft to bo easily cat
away, without scratching the zinc, by a point of
wood, ivory or whalebone. The artist then pro
ceeds as for etching, with this difference of re
sult, that the zinc uncovered la again covered by
oil ink, and instead of being incised as in etch
ing, remains in relief in the acid bath, which is
the same as in the process eillot. This process
is very convenient for artists, who can Judge of
their work as if they were drawing on paper by
means of a black lead pencil. The lines do not
thicken, but remain delicate, The varnish can
be removed or put on with a camel's hair pencil,
so that any part may be corrected at any time by
the artist.
Different processes of the same nature have
bean tried by different persons who have en
deavored to substitute for zinc, copper, steel, and
other — metals, - but — with.ont7tuccess; -- fignvever,
the principle of all the same.
Mr.Leelletakesjust occasion to comment on the
r.arrow,dog-in-manger policywhich characterized
the Exposition. His considerations on the causes
of America's . shortcomings In the Art Department
are worth attention.We regret the technical ellps,
the miss-spelling of proper names, &c., by which
Mr. Leslie suffers considemble,loss to the , dignity
of the Report. In the'matter Of prizes, we learn
from the Commiseloner that there were in all 139
prizes of all grades given for excellence in the
One arts, of which it is curious to to that

ENOLAND.—Tho Rochdale Observer, an English
print, Oral an account Of the presentation "of a
ma cent oil painitingxontalning lb/sports/sits
of Richard Cobden and Jelin !right in cloae con
versation," to the Roe Male corporation. The
donor, Mr. Joseph Pagnani, of New York, placed
it in the hands of Mr. Thomas ,B. Potter, •to be
presented to some public institution. and he of
fered it to the corporation' of Rochdale, who
passed a vote of thankA to the artist. Then Mr.
Ashworth, of the Town Council, spoke of it as a
munificent gift from au eminent artist. to which
the Council would be proud to give a place. The
likenesses of the two aming.s, / Ise° portrayed on
it, he said. were "fortunate and happy."
AuStniellent Snake Story.'
A friend of ours in Benton county, not
more than a hundred miles from ',Pond
Grove, says the Lafayette, Indiana, Courier,
is exceedingly fond -of getting a joke upon
his neighbors, and enjoys a laugh even at his
own expense. The tables were lately turned
so nicely upon him, however, that we doubt
whether he will try his hand at a joke again
for along time. He was lately crossine a
field on his premises when he felt a
. peculiar
sensation in his trousers' leg, and in an in
stant the terrible suspicion fastened upon him
that there was a snake there. Patting out
his band to ascertain,
it came in contact with
what he supposed to be the head of the
reptile. It flashed across his mind at
once that ,the only hope of his life
lay in his ability to grasp and firmly hold the
head until he could obtain assistance and ex
tricate himself from his unpleasant predica
ment. Seizing it, therefore, with one hand,
he started at lull tilt for the house, about half
a tulle distant. As he run he could feel the
reptile wriggling around his ,leg. He was
fairly bathed in a cold sweat at the thought
that it might free itself from his grasp and
give him the fatal blow while far away from
help, and fear lent wings to his feet. As he
approached the barn where his Wife was at
work. he became fearful of-the terrible effect
it might have upon her to , reveal his danger
ous situation, and he therefore slipped silly
in'at the back door. Going into one corner;
he divested himself of his clothing (he had
kicked off his boots on the way),
drew forth the cache of histerror,
and, with a sense of relief, hurled it
violently from him. It struck the rafters,
and then fell ato the floor and revealed to his
astonished 1:y ; an old piece of rope, which
be had put he supposed, into his pocket,
but -which = • .ped down his trousers' leg.
The movement of walking had produced the
wriggling which had first attracted his atten
tion. As he ran, of course, the motions be-
came more violent, Ahnot on one end he
had miataken for the , head and had been
holding it as with the grasp of death./ ,
His wife, good soul, was at first nearly,
frightened to death, then almost laughed her
self to death. The story was too good to
keep, and soon his neighbors were anxiously
inquiring regarding his recovery from the
"snake bite." We have heard of persons
having "snakes in their boots," but never in
that way before.
Adaptive Mimicry itt Plants. -
The Courier des Sallee et Marches says:
"An extremely curious Chinese plant called
the Ilias-tita4om-chora exists in the flowery
Empire. The name, of this singular plant
means that during summer it is a vegetable,
but in . winter it becomes nworm.' If ibis ob
served closely at the latter end of September
nothing simulates better to the eye a yellow
worm about four inches in length. The ap—
parent transformation takes :place gradually,
and one can see head, eyes, body, Jac., in
course of formation. This plant is , extremely
rare; it is to be root with in Thibet; and in
the Emperor's , gardens at. Pekin, where it is
reserved for medicinal purposes. The .Chi
nese savants say it is a capital strengthening
,medicine. Attempts are making to • wefts,-
tize it in South Africa. - ,
