THE alarming increase In the number of fright

Electrotypes and Stereotypes.
T
MIESK have takon a very ' important
place among the useful arts. The
process m very simple lor stereotypes,
but lor oleotrotypes is rather, nioro com
plex, though easily understood.' , ,
A galvanio current lias the. property.
under cortaiu conditions, of decomposing
many chemical compounds. . If the ends
of tho two wires connected with a battery
bo inserted in a vessel, of water, and a
current of sufficient power made to pass
from one to the other through tho water,
the latter is decomposed into its elements,
which are tho gases hydrogen and oxygen.
One gas will rise in bubbles from ono
wire end, and the othor from ,tho othor.
Those wiro ends , are called electrodes.
Many other substances, if dissolvad in
water, will decompose much more, readily;
as, for examplo, sulphate of copper, com
monly known as bluo vitriol. This is a
compound of sulphuris acid and copper,
and it takes much less power' to separate
tho two than to resolve water into its
component parts. As tho current passes
through the solution of bluo vitriol tho
sulphuric acid appears at one electrode
and tho pure copper at tho othor. .. Ihe
sulphuric acid thus set free from its pre
vious combination will at onco attack its
electrode, if it be of any metal for which
it has affinity. As the wires aro generally
copper, it, of course, produces j new blue
vitriol at tho expense of tho electrode
which is thus eaten away. Meanwhile
tho other electrode is receiving continual
accession of copper which is deposited
upou it. It now thoro be attached to this
wire a cast of any kind, which itisdesired
to reproduce in coppcr,the metal is deposit
ed upon it as long as tho galvanic current
is flowinsr and doins its work. A period
copy, taking every minutest hair lino, is
thus obtained in pure copper ; and, if tho
surface of tho cast or mold bo ' properly
protected, tho copy may bo readily remov
ed after it is complete. Tho process
might bo continued until tho deposit of
copper should become indefinitely thick,
but for; economy in expense it is usually
arrested when there is only a very thin
layer, and into this a packing of soft metal
is run, in order to give stillness. Uy this
simple means any thing may. lo oopicd
with absolute accuracy, whether it be a
seal or medal, or an engraved plate, or a
leaf, or even a photographic, negative ;
tho one condition being that the picture
or dcyico depend on an. uncvenuess of
surface. Lograved platc3, especially
those ot the great masters, are very cost
ly, and yet,' after a certain number: of
proofs have ben' printed,, they lose, by
wearing, much of their delicacy in the
finest lines and touches. The first thou
sand impressions are far more valuable
than any taken subsequently. The diffi
culty is now obviated by electrotypes, as
the original pluto coming irom tho hand
of the artist need never bo put under tho
printing press, to lose its sharpness of
outline. Copies can be tuken indefinite
ly, ana tho originals ot great work pre
served lor all timo. bo, also(i by some
newly discovered device, a printed en
graving, of which the plate is lost or
ruined, may be'' used to reproduce a hcwi
plate us perfect as tho original.
The difference between electrotypes and
stereotypes is that for the latter the ..type
metal is put at onco into the 1 mold with
out being faced up' with the copper, and
though just as perfect is not as durablo.

he picks a place on.our t-kiu which is just

no difference to him. It is the best ho

tho head of b!s proboscis, and ut the low
er oud of his proboscis he has another lit
tle pocket, into which ho puts poison
enough for ono dose. Tho poison is very
powerful. A very littlo of it makes the
place whore the mosquito puts it very
sore. After ho has suckod our blood, he
puts the drop of poison into the pluee he
took tho blood from. Ic is not the the
bite or the cut that the mosquito makes
that hurts' us, but tho dropping of this
powerful poison into our flesh. ''.If 'this
mosquito were largo enough , to , givo a

and his poison as strong in proportion, a

1 Anecdotes of James Guthrie. v
WITH PIERCE came James Guth
. rio, the Kentucky Anuk, , with
leviathan shoulders, and six feet and a
half of height. Son of a famed Indian
fighter, himself a ilatboat hand and cattlo
drovcr in youth. Onco, in a characteris
tic Kentucky affray, ho received a, shot
from a political opponent which confined
him to his bed for thrco years. Ho
brought to the Treasury bolducss, sagaci
ity, and a handwriting which ' no man
can decipher.' . One day ho sent a letter
to a friend in Baltimore. Tho next morn
ing its recipient appeared in tho Depart;
ment, and handed back the missive.' '
" Mr. Guthrio " said he, " I can t make
out ono word of your letter but the signa
ture, so I have brought it lor you to trans
late." '
The Secretary knittod his , brows, and
puzzled oyer it , for somo miuute9. At
lust he gavq it up. , ' , . v
" Hang me it 1 cau read it cither. .1
have forgotten its exact . contents, but I
know what I wanted to seo you about.
Sit down and I'll tell you."
Guthrie was a walking cyclopedia of
the Treasury. He knew more details in
each branch than tho subordinate special
ly charged with them. His ' Intuitions
wero liko lightning. Old clerks insist
that after hearing tho first sentenco ho
foresaw all that a man was going to say
to him, and tell droll stories of his sleep
ing through long conversations nnd then'
waking up and answering each point ex
actly as if ho had heard it. They aver
that ho would run over a hundred letters
awaiting his signature, and throw nsido
each pne containing a mistake of phrase
or figure, just as tho cashier goes through
a pile of bank-potes and flings out coun
terfeits. , , i i
.The moldy archives contain two bits of
paper which illustrate not only Guthrie's
character, but tho coutrast botwocn two
Presidents. Whilo Jackson was in the
White House, ho requested that tho ao
couut of ono of his special friends . might
be paid. '. The Fourth Auditor refused, to
pass it. insisting that as a sworn account
ing officer ho could not overlook its irreg-
rularity and illegality. When that an
swer was reported to him, Old Hickory
instantly sot back tho original document,
with this indorsement on the back i1
, Let the President's fiat bo obeyed !
' ' ' ' AnDUEVy jACKSOJf."
' The account was paid forthwith. ",i
During Picroe's administration, Con
gress passod a law increasing twenty per
cent tho salaries of Government employees.
Nicholson, the Public' Printer, presented
Ins account, with this additional percen
tile. Guthrie rejected it on :tho ground
that ho was a contraetor.uotau icmployeo.
Nicholson went for help to his- friend tho
President. He indorsed , tho paper : ,
" This accoun t seems to mo correct,
and, in my judgment, jt ought to be paid.
Fit AN KLIN FlEUCK."
Theri it was Tiandcd back to tho 'Secre
tary. 1 Guthrie, in' a' rage," replied '
"' Tell the 'President it ' is not " iorrect,"
ond I'll be d3 if 1 naV it." "
Nicholson, fancying ' ho ' 'foresaw 'the
Cabinet officer beheaded, reported this
rash response to tho Executives But 'that

" ' ' Anecdotes of a Good Man.
Tho ltev. Samuel J. May, for many
yours pastor of tho Unitarian Church of
Syracuse, was In early life settled over a
small parish in JJrooklyn," Conn., and
rodo in a one-horse chaise about tho
country. ' Having1 prepared for' a day's
journey for an exchange, he was advised
by a neighbor not to go alone, as loot-pads
lnlested the road he was to take. "'
He heeded not the advico, aud, when a
few miles out of tho village, ho saw a
man jump a low fence out of a thick wood
Ho said to himself, " Mine enemy is upon
me." 'When he overtook ' tho mnn he
stopped aud said cheoringly, " Good mot-
ning, my friond ; I have an empty seat,
will you not share it with me '(" They
had a long ride and a long talk, Mr. May
giving his passenger a great deal of moral
advice by the way: - As they nearcd tho
point of j)lt. May s destination he said
" I am a minister, and shall preach in tho
next villago to-morrow, and it you would
like to hear me, I am sure the friends
who ore expecting me will eutertan you."
The man declined . the invitation
with annarent confusion, and when thov
alighted from the vehicle, said he would
like to speak with Mr. May apart, a few
moments. When alono he grasped Mr.
In. s hand, looked him .squarely m,, tho
face, and said : ' I must not .part with
you without conlessing that when
sprang into tho road, I intended to blow
your brains out, steal your horse and car

A Singular Case.
v . r I ' ' rf I 'i i J l
rnllE Troy N. Y. Time tells the fol
I lowing story : Tho southern part of
Saratoga county has lately been greatly
excited ovor a matter',1 the developments
in regard to which are about as follows :
A littlo more . than a week ago, Isaac
G. Lansing, a farmer, living in tho town
of Halfmoon, went West with a gentle
man lrom V isclier s Ferry to buy sheep.
Immediately after big departure a most
horrible story became whispered about,
tho substance of which was that Mr.
Lansing had bargained with a man to
murder his wifo during his absence.
When Mr. Lansing returned, ho found
tho rumor was rifo in the , neighborhood,
and at onco commenced a suit for slander,
and obtained an order of arrest against
bram Devoo of Crescent, tho author ot
the story. Upon being arrested, Dovoe "
at onco made u criminal complaint ngainst
Lansing for plotting tho murder of his
wife, upon which Lansing was arrested
and arraigned before Justice Cramer of
Watorford. .... . i .
The examination of Lansing was at
once proceeded with,and Devoo disclosed a
stato of facts which if true reveal a plot
for wife-murder on the part of Lansing
which, in horrible coldblooded details,
rivals BuloiTs most damuuble crimes.
Devoe swears that more than a year ago
Lansing approached him with complaints
of " trouble in his family," and a propo
sition to Devoe to get his wifo ." out of
the way,", for a consideration. Devoo
say? he rceoived the proposition favorably
and that on the strength ot it lie has at .
various times rcceivod favors from Lan
Bing in tho shape of firewood, etc., and
small sums of money. Devoo also disclos
ed tho nature at tho proposition to several
persons, telling them that ho intended to
make uso of it to get considerable money
out of Lansing and finally expose him.
As Dovoe s story goes, about two weeks
ago Lansing told him ho was about to
leave homo for soveral bays, that his
wifo would be alono in the house, which
is quite isolated, every night vith their
two small children,' and he wanted the
business done thon. Devoe relates the
dotails of instructions, which ho received
from Lansing, how to -enter tho house
through a certain insecure window how
to make his entrance noislcss, where to
find his sleeping wife, how to find cortaiu
jewelry and silverware in various parts
of tho house, which ho was to) tako away, .
and thus make it appear that plunder
was the object j also how to rob a neigh
bor's houso near at hand, and thus made
the "blind "darker, and finally how
Lansing cautioned him to "make no
mistake " and " not harm tho children,"
but to "make suro work of it." Thou
tho, blood-mony was paid, thd sum being
$105, ond tho devilish buisncss arranged.
Devoo tells his story in such minute
detail and connects so many collateral
facts and out sido parties incidentally
with it, that beforo tho investigation is
closed it cannot fail to appear that Devoe
has told an ingenious and tremendous
lie, or Lansing ought to be hung. The
examination in adjourned to the 2lith
inst. Mrs. Lansing has somo property,
and both sho and her husband aro very
respectably connectod. ' The " trouble in
tho family,",, it is ? rumored,, is certain
entanglement with other women, and tho
wife's property is suggested as an induce
ment to the .plotting, n It as certainly a
most strange aud unfortunate affair.
Almost Married.
i !' FEW evenings since'; a young lady
xVl ariil' gentleman made ' their appear
auco at the oflico of a New Orleans Jus
tice of the Pcaco. 1 Tho evident youthful
ncssof'tho twain,1 combined with a naivete
air about them; led tho 'good justice to
believe they wished to be married. It
was, therefore,' with a pleased expression
of countenance ho inquirod what he could
do for them? 1 ' ' '"" ' ' '' ' - ' '
" We have a service td ask "your ' hon
or," replied tho youth, a littlo diffidently
and blushing perceptibly.1' "' ' ''
" Ah yes, I understand," smilingly re
marked the' urbano magistrate; "you

Theso wero ' furnished him', aud after

requested theiii to stand up.' This was
done. " .' ' ',' ' ' " . " '' ' ''
" Now join your hands together." :'
This injunction;' too, was complied
with. Solemnly' straightening out his
visage, the magistrate commenced :
' It is not good for man to live ulono,
nor for a woman either.":' ,
But I don't live alono," interrupted
the fair ono, showing evident symptoms
of fright; I don't live alone !".'
i" Don't interrupt me !" stornly rejoined
the magistrate ; " therefore, it not being
good for man aud woman to live alone,
do you, sir, tako this woman whom you
hold by your right hand to be your law
fully wedded wife?". -. u- ...
. " No !"i thundered the gentleman.
" Why, confound you, she's my sister!"
" What did you oomo here for, then ?"
cried the appalled magistrate, " if not to
got married
Tho business was quickly explained,
and tho justico, while hastening through
with it, resolvod that in future he would
not be quite so precipitate.
