ving the wire-edge of his knife. Called a steel, and resembling an awl. The dentist's burnisher has a bulbous, spherical, or probe-shaped termination for smoothing the surface of metallic filling of teeth. The shoemaker's burnisher is for finishing the edges of boot-soles. In the example, the tool has a movable head and a metallic socket, so that the stock need not be injured when the head is heated for use. See burnishing-machine. Engravers' burnishers. Dentists' burnishers. Shoemaker's burnisher. Bur′nish-gild′ing. A mode of gilding consisting of the following processes: — The stuff for picture-frames, lookingglasses, etc., or other object to be gilt, is— Primed with white stuff in several coats.

0 revolutions per minute, giving a circumferential velocity of over 5 miles per minute. Steel rails are cut rapidly, giving out abundance of sparks. Such saws are used in America and in England. Fig. 4596 shows a number of detachable teeth for circular saws. In each case but a portion of the blade is shown. The shape of the teeth and the mode of fastening them in the blades will be understood at a glance.

e Bank of Scotland. To [David] Scott's room. He.is a severe, earnest man with high imaginations. I liked him much, and his pictures from him, though there was not one which, taken by itself, could be called really good. Note here, not that it has to do anything with these matters, but because I happen to think of it here, that the tune of Scots wha hae is, according to tradition, the original one of Hey tutti Taiti, to which the Scots did actually march to the field of Bannockburn. Shoemaker amazed at the N. Y. [New York] shoes. Evening at Mrs. Crowe's. S. B. [Samuel Brown.] D. S. [David Scott.] Mr. De Quincey. Pleasant flow of talk, but the Opium Eater did not get into his gorgeous style. Good story told by S. B. about Burns. Write it out for Tribune and quote the pertinent verse. This story may be found in Memoirs, II. 177; and the Tribune letter in At Home and Abroad, p. 139. I was very sorry to leave Edina now; might have had such good times with the two friends.

r von Rabe's room, in which I now write, contains only books of military drill. This day we visited the schoolhouse-session over, air of the room perfectly fetid. Schoolmaster, whom we did not see, a Pole — his sister could speak no German. Tattered primers in German. Visited the Jew, who keeps the only shop in Lesnian. Found a regular country assortment. He very civil. Gasthaus opposite, a shanty, with a beer-glass, coffee-cup and saucer rudely painted on its whitewashed boards. Shoemaker in a damp hovel, with mahogany furniture, quite handsome. He made me a salaam with both hands raised to his head. We went to call upon Herr von Rohr, at Schenskowkhan — an extensive estate. I had put on my Cheney silk and my bonnet as a great parade. Our host showed us his house, his books and engravingshe has several etchings by Rembrandt. Herr von Mechlenberg, public librarian of Konigsberg, a learned little old man, trotted round with us. We had coffee and waffles. Mechlenberg

eers of that command. I have never seen any statement from Colonel Chew claiming the credit of the action of the artillery at Gregg, or that it was his battery that was entitled to the credit of the gallantry shown; but as by his silence he has accepted the verdict due a brother officer, will he not give us his account of the defence of Fort Gregg? In Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume XVIII, page 283, under heading of Chew's battery, we read as follows: The 16th of January (1865) Shoemaker's and our (Thompson-Chew's) batteries disbanded, to be called in by general orders at any time. Called in through the papers April 1, 1865; ordered to report to Captain Carter at Lynchburg. I saw the order on the 2d. This extract would go to show that Chew's (Thompson's) battery was disbanded in January, 1865, and that on the day the lines were broken and Gregg fell Colonel Chew had no command at Petersburg.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Gen. Garn it's column. Camp--, between Beverly and Phillippi, June 18th, 1861. I have left the name of the Camp blank, as it has not been christened. We are encamped it the foot of Laurel Hill, about half way between Beverly and Phillippi, fifteen miles from either place. General Garnett has divided his force at Beverly, one portion on the road to Buckhannon, the other regiment and Captain Shoemaker's Battery, and two companies of Cavalry, he brought to this point. They frequently meet with the enemy's scouts, and have killed two of them since I have been here--one last night and one this morning. Two more regiments will arrive to morrow, and three or four more in a very few days. I have no doubt an attack will be made by General G. as soon as his forces arrive. There are five hundred Federal troops at Phillippi. Four or five of our companies are armed with mountain rifles, and will be sure to play havoc with the enemy. A s
