How TO BURN CoAL.-The art Of burn
ing coal is no. ye, properly understood as
it ought to be. Too much coal is usually
placed in the stove, by which the Drought il
destroyed and the gases are imperfec.ly con-
sumed.
The Miners Journal of Potlsvilc says
there are two other errors in the way we
burn coal, by which more than one-half is
wasted. Isl. We have TO shut The door of
our stoves or furnace, to make Temporal
~ over-combuslion q, one time, and al an
other we have to open the door and let in
cold air to cool off, g. The gas that as
cends our chimneys carries with it deal
of coal that is unburned, merely coal in va
por, which gives out little heat for want Of
air to consume 1t. We loose the most Of
this unconsumed vapor when the door is
shut. When i, is open, the vapor is con-
sumed, but the heat is reduced by food
Of cold air and carried up the chimney
What is required then in on air tight door
over the ash pit, through which you can let
in jus. what air is necessary for quick or
slow combustion as desired, The door that
admits the coal should be tight and should
never be opened excep. to pu! coal in. A
small fue should admit stream Of air, heat
ed by contact with the stove, to mix with
the gas on top Of the fire. In buying stove.
| if you find lha, the stove or furnace door
must be lef. open when you want to mode
rate your fire, rejec. it; for j. is essentially
wrong in its construction and it will con-
sumo three tons of coal where one would
answer if the draft door were alright.

UNTRUE.-The Baltimore Clipper says
s.The despatch in the New York papers,
announcing bank panic in this city is en-
,irely unfounded. Our Banks, we learn, are
all in safe and healthy condition. The
despatch, however, we learn, was intended
to refer to Cumberland, where, in conse-
quence of the failure OF the Maryland Min
ing Company, some little excitement pre-
vailed, but even there the Banks are said to
be safe and sound"

Coop IF TRUE.-It is said, that General
Concha authorised Captain Ellis, one Of
the liberated Lopez prisoners, to make
known on his arrival at Washington, that
on application at Madrid, all the prisoners
sent to Spain would be released on the con-
dition that the Spaniards Of New Orleans be
remuneraed for the losses they have sus-
tanned by the riots which occurred there
This is a condition which New Orleans
will doubtless cheer(uIly comply with. Cap
tain Ellis has reached New York.

THE CoLoRED POPULATION OF THE
NoRrH.-The Buffalo Courier has valu-
able article on the facts disclosed by the late
census in reference to the colored popula-
ton of this country. Their position in the
free States has never been calculated to ad-
vance their own int rests or to elevate them
in the estimation Of those about them. They
cluster in The purlieus of our large cities,
living precariously and by the performance
Of The most mental labor, or if thev do drive
into the bush or squat upon the prairie, it is
to live in filth and Incidence, content 10 chop
wood by the cord, or to exact the means of
subsistence from the negligen! cultivation
OF Tour or FIVE acres of land. Partly, no
doubt, in consequence Of these circumslan-
ces, partly from their general unflness for
the climate and pursuits of or,hern attitudes,
the records show rate Of progress as to
numbers which contrasts most strangely
with that Of the whites by whom they are
surrounded, and even with that which pre-
walls amongst their own race in the slave
States. The Courier shows that in New
Eng land, where the social condition Of the
negro has the benefit of full measure OF
abolition sympathy, his race has not increas-
ed as in the South. While the total increase
Of the whites in New England has been a,
the rate of sixty five per cent. within the
last thirty years, that OF the blacks has been
but 6 1-2 per cent, notwithstanding the con-
slant influx of (ugilives. As compared with
The census of 1910, The census of last year
exhibits an absolute decrease. In New
Hampshire, where no a,lemp. has yet been
made to catch a runaway, the decrease a.
mounts 10 about two-fiflhs of the whole.

We heartily endorse every word and syl
liable of the following from the Baltimore
Clipper:
ELEcT1oNEERING-C Candidates for the
various offices, which are to be filled by
The votes Of the people on the first Wednes-
day of November next, are busiy engaged
in cour,ing popular favor; and min, juleps,
''blue ruin," Sc, are almost thrust down
the threats of even teelolalers, so anx-
ious are candidates to exhibit their love for
the dear people. The new Constitution in
fic.s severe penalties for bribing or attempt
ing to bribe voters; and yet this treating
system is species of bribery Of most co.,
rup,ing and exceptionable character. We
wish tina, il had been expressly prohibited
by the New Constitution for the sake of The
public morals. Candidates pay but poor
compliment to the virtue and intelligence
of the people, by surposing that their prin-
ciples can be changed, or their favor obtain
ed, by invitations to drink grog and yet,
this is almost the only method resorted to
by some candidates TO win supporters
With certain individuals, who prize liquor
more than they do the elective franchise,
treating may have an influence; but it dis
gusts the sensible and judcious, who want
to have highminded, honorable and respect
able men appointed to Office. We are free
to say that we would not pursue the usual
course Of electioneering frequentng Of
,averns, treating to liquor and the like, to
be chosen to any office in the gift Of the
people. We should lose all seIf-respect and
feel as though we had come dishonesty in
to possession of office. We hope ye, to see
the time, when the candidate who election
GERS for himself, will be sure to be defeated.

SABBATH EVENING.

BY eco. D. PRENTICE.
IT'S holy time. The evening shade
Steals with a soft control
Der nature, as a thought ofheaven
Steals Ger the human soul
And every ray from yonder blue.
AID every drop from falling dew,
Seem 10 bring down To human woes
From heaven a message Of rePose.
Der Won tall rock the solemn trees,
A ~shadOwy group, incline
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine;
And DER them now the night winds blow
So calm and sill the music low
Seems the mysterious voice Of prayer
Soft-echoed on the evening air.
The mists, like incense from the earth
Rise 10 q God beloved,
And DER The waters move as eTst
The holy Spirit moved:
The torrents voice, the waves low hymn
Seem the far notes Of seraphim,
And all eanh's thousand voices raise
Their song Of worship, love and praise.
The gentle sisierhood Of flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears of dew
Up 10 the holy skies;
And the pure stars cOme out above
Like sweet and blessed things Of love,
Bright signals in the eternal dome
To guide the parted spirit home.
There is a spell Of blessedness
In air and earth and heaven,
And nature wears the blessed look
Ola young saint forgiven
Oh, who, at such oD hour Of love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
And not kneel down upon the sod
With Natures self TO worship God!
