When the cast is made, the core, or inner mould, is re- moved by means of rammers, inserted at the orifices under the feet, and water is sometimes used to wash the interior clean. You will perceive from all this, that bronze casting is not a very simple process, when well done, but it is simple enough when done as Mr. Clark Mills does it. His statue (equestrian) of Genl 42 Jackson was cast in 14 pieces, as I have been told. A common brass founder could do this, for patch work can be done anywhe...re. The house fly is found in every part of the world, and it has been said that this is the only universal insect. Fleas are pretty general, and I am yet to hear of a country where companions may not be found to soothe our slumbers at night by their tasteful and touching attentions. But the truly universal insect is the Hum Bug! The industrious and honest bee is restricted within certain lati- tudes. He can stand heat, but the extreme of cold kills him, and the mosquitoe. And still more bewitching gnat both yield to the reign of Winter, even to the limit of his sceptre in Florida.
