The co: nding from H.K. Brown, es., of Newburg, N. Y., the artist who desigued the statue of Gen.

Mr. Brown, in responding, says:— | * * * “The impression it—the statue of | General Scott—may make upon so many of his old comrades and soldiers, thus viewing it for | the firs. time, would be a very interesting mat- | terto me. The only thing that can prevent the work trom being placed in position in time for | your meeting will be the failure of the con- ‘actor to have the base in readiness tor the statue. Ihave the promise that it will be done, and will use my best endeavors to perform my partintime. * + © It will afford me great pleasure to hear the remarks of others on that occasion, but if there is anything of which 1 | am wholly destitute, it is that most enviable gift for making @ speech. The prospect of being called upon for such an effort would be sufficient to debar my presence from the most attractive gathering. * * © In this matter I would request you get the approbation of Generals Belknap, Schriver, Barnes and Babcock— composing the commission who have charge of the work.

Chips and refuse | piecesof the mineral are ground to powder, | mixed with silicate of soda—water giass—after & repose of some hours, drying on a plate, when the mixture is again pulverized. The powder is then subjected to powerful pressure in moulds, aud afterward baked in air-tight tire- clay crucicles. The pressed objects are a sec- ond time saturated with the air. The hardness of the productdepends in @ great measure upon | the number of times the heating is repeated. | The last stage of the process of manufacture consists of washing in water in arotary tub, drying and agitating in a guitable vessel with pom pope powder, which imparts a polish to the surface.
