（Weaving.) A tapestry loom in which the warp-frame is vertical and the weaver works standing, thus being able to constantly inspect his work as it proceeds, an advantage which he does not possess in the bass-lisse or low-warp tapestry loom in which the warp is horizontal. Hill′o-type. （Photography.) A process invented by L. L. Hill, of Westkill, New York, and much debated in the photographic journals of twenty years ago and since. He claimed — See photographic Art-Journal, October, 1852--to have discovered a method of heliotyping the colors of objects truthfully, brilliantly, and imperishably. The correspondence is voluminous, some of it acrimonious; the colors certified to have been produced heliotypically in the pictures are rosy, red, blue, green, orange, violet, buff. The process is not explained in these articles. Niepce worked long at this object, and called the products heliochromes. And yet we wait. Side-hill plow. Hill′side-plow. （Husbandry.

ry question, he expressed the belief that all proposals looking to the return of the negroes to Africa, or to colonizing them in any other part of the world, would be found to be unsound and impracticable. He regarded them as destined to remain forever in America, and either die out in the struggle for existence, or be absorbed through the slow processes of nature in the remote ages of the future, into the ultimate composite human race. But to return to Dana's work on the Tribune. In October, 1852, that journal, resenting the intimation of its Democratic contemporaries, declared: General Scott is not an abolition candidate. and no action is to be expected from him looking to the overthrow of slavery. He is simply a Whig candidate. Earlier in the year it praised Seward for favoring a subsidy for the Collins line of transatlantic steamers, and when the election was over and Scott defeated, it stood by the antislavery Senator as against the coalition of hostile elements f

g the great demand that had set in, the total number of editions being forty, varying from fine art-illustrated editions at 15s., 10s., and 7s. 6d., to the cheap popular editions of Is., 9d., and 6d. After carefully analyzing these editions and weighing probabilities with ascertained facts, I am able pretty confidently to say that the aggregate number of copies circulated in Great Britain and the colonies exceeds one and a half millions. A similar statement made by Clarke & Co. in October, 1852, reveals the following facts. It says: An early copy was sent from America the latter end of April to Mr. Bogue, the publisher, and was offered by him to Mr. Gilpin, late of Bishopsgate Street. Being declined by Mr. Gilpin, Mr. Bogue offered it to Mr. Henry Vizetelly, and by the latter gentleman it was eventually purchased for us. Before printing it, however, as there was one night allowed for decision, one volume was taken home to be read by Mr. Vizetelly, and the other by Mr. S

the purpose to mislead and disease the minds of our children as to the purpose, policy and good faith of our separation from the government of that originally small party so much condemned, if not despised, by Mr. Webster, and to which he administered such rebukes as to induce us to believe he could and would keep it in check, and perhaps obliterate it. If Daniel Webster could have been spared to the Union there would not, in my opinion, have arisen cause for separation. His death in October, 1852, unbridled the fanaticism of that originally small party and brought it into power eight years later, when it proposed to conduct the Government on its peculiar sentiments of morality regardless of the constitutional limitations and restrictions which had been upholden and enforced by the Supreme Court for more than seventy-five years. It was the higher law party acting without warrant of authority, and in violation of that compact of which Mr. Webster said one party could not disregard
