Melsson's World-Famous Factory—Tho ¥ounder of the Works—Threo Perlods of Drosdon Art, + Correspondence New York Times, Drespxy, April 25.—Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, sits ona horse of gilt bronze in the Neustadtin Dresden, Just, buyond thobridge, Me hag sat there 150 years, Ina Roman brenst-plate and tunte, with a wreath about his head, expos- Ing lis clbowa aud calves to the frost of the Saxon wintor, and the bronzo horse has rest- gd complacently on his flowing bronze tail alltho while. Ailghty man of valor was Augustus, who could break a horseshoo with his hands, and as he had otaste for palaces, nud jewels, and festivities as well as for horseshoes, and wanted to gat and to keep the throne of Poland (no ensy task), he was often short of money, Ilo wis consequently Ind to. welcome Johan Friederich Battger rom Prussia, who claimed to bo able to wake gold, but who only succeeded atter all in making china, . Augustus seoms to have contente oi jnaclt with tho lntter, Indeed, he presently cemme a great collector ot the article, and at once to adorn the new palace whieh ho haat bought tn the Noustadt and to provide models for his own factory at Mels- say he bronght tugother the great ollection of Uhlncag and Japanese porcelain which ty atill onu of tho attractions of Dresden, Elglte von large vases and « few smaller pisces are shown, for which Anguetus gavo tho Kin of Pruasin (fathor of Frederick the Grout, i orealment of dragoons, and thoy are culled tho draxoo vases ta this ay, ‘ho {i porcelain —innde~ by pitteor Is hardly to be distinguished by the inuxperionced from earthenware, aud is much the color ofa modern flowerpot, But it wiy not tong before tue tnyoutlou Was pore feoted, wd elite of thorough whiteness ant trundptrence was Pega For sonte years he process was kept a secret, but before Jong a workin escaped to Vienna, and in the course of 40 years, for tho world moved but slowly in tho. earlier part of the cizht- eenth century, Germany and Europa had Jearned tha urt of Dunkin ohina. | Mcun- while, the Melsxen factory had held its own. and from tho tle when Bottgor mudo his first dark-rud. teapot to the present day no European china has had, on the whale, sa great a reputation aadhat which is popularly enlled * Dresden” with the single exception ofthnt jade at the Joyal, Imperial, or Na- oat ‘actary of Sdvres, AQ connofseurs of ching and all people who wantsto seem connolsseurs know that tho murk on Solssen porcalaln Is two crossed swords. ‘Theso two swordy ara roughly painted under the glaze, and can only be re- moved by rubbing awa: the glaze ol g Wheel, Unfortunately, thera fa no ditouley what- soover Jn linituting them, although to do to In Saxony ts a ertine, ttle usual, when a pleco of Melssen china {a sold unpainted on account of any Imperfection, to cut a mark through Lis Blizo ucrogy the swords, and col- lectory should bo on the lookout for this cut, which dealers often try Jugpniously to con- ceal, but which can always be detected by the thumb-iuil. Of so great {mportanco was the orcelaiu-fuctory considered by the Saxon Princes that wo flnd uncer the son and suce cessor of tre strong Augustus, Count Brohl, the Prine Minkster, acting ns Director of the fpetory. Indeed, these two posts were more than ones united, for Count Murcollul was both Prime Minister of baxony and Dircotor of Melssen between 1770 ond 1700, Hix Dl- reatorship may bo considered the most brill- fant pertod of the inanufacture. Tt was in hls thne that the Ittle tgures which the nan of Dresden china pecullarly recalls, ene whieh liuve nowhere been . xo dolleately made, reached their Mpiicst degreo of ox- vollence. ‘Che murk on Marvolint china is. star, teconpanylng the invariable. crossed awords and phiced near their handles, | On chinwolder than Mareollni' time, B dot be tween the sword-handles is not unusual, ‘Tho putterus of Melsscn china that have “and must. been produced during the 150 years of tho ex. Istence of tho factory nro apy of them cop- fed today. | ‘The ‘varlety 1s, of course, very arent, Machinery now lends Its alt to some extent, and {f tho china has thereby Jost som of its’ artistle value, it hos undoubtedly gained in chenpnoss, All that is inost tin- rtant, however, must Btll be tone by hand, ‘The stenell-piato {8 used to Indicate tho general outlines of some of the cheapor patterns, but all coloring, mut aul be finally put on with tho palnt-brush, Only the com- tion bine anda rather ugly shade of green ure painted under the glaze. All the best of the colored patterns—flowers, birds, Mnd- Beapes, and fgures—are palnted after, the artfeles havo receiver thoir kepond baking then be agnin biked in, ‘fhe old spechinens still retain & great value for cul- Tectora, ant in goine respocts thelr bentity fs unequaled by any of the modern hhey aro meuorally dividyd into threes elnaser,—" Before Marcollai,?

Inndscapes, birds, and sewers. But tin remark here thit the beauty of a plece of china painting depends naturally much more on the talent of the particular workin who hag palnted it than on the period of Its pro- duetion, If this workman was an artist, tho cup or dish isn work of art swvhether it wag made In. 1760 or In 1880. If he was ry uniter, tho piece of china is ugly whethor It was made In the nineteenth or In the eighteenth century, The Marcollnad period is distinguished by the brillianey of he colors used In flower palnting and by the grace nnd delicacy of figurines, ‘These are eneraly of the court shepherdess type. These Uitte figtres, seldom inore than six Inches hizh, might have stepped outof the boudolr of Marie-Antotuette. Every fold of thelr lneed petticonts seers to rustle with ele gant frivolity. ‘They bend their little bodies With gencetel affectation, and Irresistibly re- call tlie time, only three generations past, when the first duty of Indies and gentlemen wns to please, ‘Thoy batanee themselves on thelr high heels better than the belles of to- alny, beenuse It wag the chief business of life aliundred jae ago to balnnee one’s self on one’s high heels. ‘hey nre frugile Ike the originals they copied. The china, slnee Marcolini's time, is con- sidered modern chin, and this leads me to spenk of that which ismade to-day, The fue- ory Is Government property, and large quantities of Its porcelain ard yearly sold, resides figures and a great yartely of yases and fnney pieces of all sorts, for whieh large prices are often received, dinner services ave also made, These rauge in price from about $80 fur white chia and abont $300 for blue and gold“ unlon pattern” to $1,500 for the most elaborate dark with flower paint- ing, These prices are reckoned for a service toding twenty-four people, but not inelud- ing 0 dessert service, at it for tho Tess ex- pensixe sets, A single e WHI, however, je sol at the sane relative rate as a large service. It will be seen that Melasen chino ig stlll an expensiye luxury. THE DARK DAY. May 10, 1780. New York Herald, One hundred years ago to-day, May 10, 1780, was one of the most famous of dates In the legendary tales of our grandfathers, It was the “Dark Day,” when, according to tho chronicles, candies gd to be Nghted at nid- day, the birds were silent or disappeared, and the domestls fowls retired to yoost, ‘This darknogs prevailed over the whole of New England and the Middle States, and Its mem- ory is oven now preserved by the Indians of the Six Nations, who use If ng n time mark for catimating the ages of children born about that perlod. Alany wero the bits of doggerel verso which were current 0 rey years ago about this phenomenon, and won- derfully yaricd were the experiences which tho speatators transmitted to thelr. posterity, Barber, Webster, wid Mursell have roferrod to the circumstance {n thelr historical. compi- Intions; hut the most interesting miecdote is that referring to tho attitude of “the Con- necticut gouncll, thon in session ab Hart. ford, and iscunsing an Interesting bill about the shad fishery, Ag the darkness becanic more Intense, suggesting to many the arrival of the Day of Judgment, the Legislature on motion adjourned; but Col. Abraham Dav- onvort, of Btaintord, opposed a similar jo- tlan In the Counell, saying, “Tam against an adjournment, ‘Tho Day proaching or 1¢ is jiwt. 1! no cause for adjournment; if it ts, 1 wish to be found doing my duty. i wish, therefore, that candles may bebrought.’ Thelovers of octry niny find a beautiful vorsion of this Incident in Whittior's "Tent on the Beach,” Other cases of dark days are clted In more recent unnals, especially Oct, 21, 1dl6, but none ever nttnined sich. celebrity as that of which the centenary ocaurs to-day, and ot whose cause no satisfactory explanation has ever beon offered. Aust Audvertiser," To New Enginnders “the “ioth of May ts chiefly to be remomberad for tho strangest natural phenomenon that over came into thelr experience, It was the “Dark Day.” In the morning there was some distant thun- der in the southwest, sald Dr. Jeremy Bel- kuap, writing to his friend Ebenezer IInzard; tho forenoon was. cloudy, but -the sun ap- peared now and then, ‘Che clouds soon pre- sonted ait unusual apectacie, buing of n yel- lowlsh hue, nnd ruflecting such a light on all the objects below thein, Within an hour 16 grow dark, and tho darkness kept increasing till 1 o’ctook, when we lighted candles, nnd Kept them burning all the afternoon, It was not he darkness of a thundercloud, but a vapor like tho smoke of a inolt-honse or a coal-Kiln, and thero was 0 sirour amell of suivke the whole day, us thore had buen for some days bofore, You must note that for about ten days before tha weather had boun very dry, and this, belng tho season for burning tho woods to plaut cori on the now lands, the nt ton considerable degree, and the rain which fell on that morniiys was not duficient to oxtin- pulp thoi. ror four ar Siva days tho, nr ant appeared very full of smoke, un seomod fob low, #0 that tho sun totally dis- appoared about holt an hour sotting, and Jow. grounds were most fillod gmoke.
