Paine's Hydroearbonic Light.

Mr.. Paine's new light, abont which sc
much has been said during the last eigh-
teen months. so much printed, and SC
much promised, has utterly gone out, the
newspapers say, and say too that it was
nothing from the oegin ing but an impos
,ure and humbue; that Paine had dis
covered no such luminous or photogeniC
principle as he pretended, and that he
knew he had discovered nothing, that Il
committee of chemical persons have
looked into the matter, and f,und no ligh.
but very clearly an imposture, which
consists in supplying furtively with com
mon gas during the experiment; the ligh
which he pretends is produced by decom
posing water. which is effie, ted by an 10
genious use of gas-conGucting pipes.
We suppose all this. Or something i ke
il, to be true. or that upon further pro S
ecution of the inquiry, it will be found
that ur. Paine, if a bona tfde investiga-
ior and expe -imentalSt, has grossly de-
ceived himself; which is probably the
whole amount of the deception, for we dc
not perceive what IN tive he could posi-
be have for deceving and humbugging
,he public as he has done. If there be any
imposlure IN the case.-WaS. Globe.

"Generally accredited rumors are in

chase of Cuba, by our government, are
