the cOTTOsiOn Of the copper condenser, when tile
water containing the cnTOonic and sUlphunc acids
found in soda had been standing in II several days.
When the tin with which tbs GonledseTs IRE usually
lined is IN good cOndtiOnI Of COURSE there can be
no coEOsiOn; bit after use ltT some time the tin
wears aud the copper is exposed. Carbonate Of
lead, also, derived probably from the lead pipes
used in conveying the waters TO the jet, was found
IN the most Of The woleTS examined. Dr. Dor
smus Snys that the use Of soda wateT sometimes,
though rarely PRODUCES sickness, vomiting aud
,ttacks like CloleTa, and he recommends couders.

WHEAT MARKET-syEsTERN
LABOR.

The price of wheat is everywhere O.
YER what was expected few months a.
go. Competition and want are the tive
causes for high prices. Sometimes boil
those causes act together, and then pri-
ces rise over a reasona bic mark. Thel
apprehension Of loss brings dealers to
their senses, and down comes the weight
on somebody's head, generally on the
softest head in the trade, and the one
least able to resist the bump.
We dc not believe however, that the
wheat market is governed at present by
competition. II may be in some neigh
borhoods, but not in ours. Thete was
a short crop in Europe; the troubles
and apprehensions about a general Eu-
ropean war rather grow more serious
than less so, in which event there is no
telling what the demand for bread will
be. Such considerations create drain
upon our surplus, even though they are
mere apprehensions.
Farmers will ask, how can all that af-
feet us away off SO far in the west. Well
we are beginning to be in bounds of al
eastern market. Railroads diminish dis
lance, in the sense of time and trans por.
tation expenses. II don't cost half as
much now to take barrel of flour tc
New York as it did five years ago
Transportation then was heavy tariff
that tariff is coming down; by and by
we shall have almost free trade with
New York and then our cheap lands and
dear labor will come into competition with
eastern dear lands and cheap labor. We
will drive successful competition be-
cause on lands are more productive tina Il
theirs. Then they will have to come
here if they want to get rich, because
farming here will pay better than there.
We can over-match the east, because
our lands are SO cheap so new and fertile
II their labor were only worth half wha |
ours is they would still be able TO pro-
duce cheaper than we can, but labor is
rising there as well as here.

a3=Our friend over in Clayton Coun
ty, the Clayton County Herald, has ON
pleted its first volume. The Herald is q
small paper, and makes few boastihg pre-
tensions. We always unwrap it among
the first Of our exchanges, because we
are sure to find something in il sensible
and worthy Of notice. Reader, did you
ever notice that you prefer certain or
binary looking paper without knowing
why? Well, the reason is, that paper
has an editor who knows how to pleas e
you. If you are pleased with the paper
others Will be, and that is sure sign it
is paper in good standing. We have
many exchanges in which we never
conld find anything worth reading, and
we are sure others think the same of
them that we do. The Clayton Co.
Herald articles, whether selected
ted or written by the editor, are always
unmarked because they contain just what
we want to learn. We bell eve the art Of
editing newspaper, like, hat Of music
or dancing is natural gift, and cannot
be acquired.

E55ln late decision Of the Supreme
Court Of Ohio, it was held that the law
of that State allowing individuals and
corporations, in giving their tax lists, to
deduct their liabilities from the amount
Of their moneys and credits, us repug-
nant to the Constitution and void" The
Constitution permits no deduction of LA
bilities from moneys and credits. The
remainder of the tax law is not rendered
void by the decision. II was also deci-
ded that "choses IT. action are to be list
ed at their true Value If note, for
instance, is wholly worthless, it is not
to be listed at all if il is of some value,
but less than its face, ii is TO be listed at
what it is worth. Ii strikes us our Wis
consin tax law, and Ike Constitution au-
thorizing assessments and the collection
of taxes, are very similar 10 those Of O.
hio. If so, they are liable 10 the same
peril and construction.

that the late County Board of Grant,
by some unacconntable error in calcu-
lation charged the Towns Of Potosi and
Clifton with larger amounts Of State tax
than their true proportions. There be-
ing no power or authority to abate the
mounts agreed upon by the Board, ex-
lcept by special act Of the Legislature, =
Mr.. Hull, on the 10Th inst, procured
by suspension of the rules, the passage
through both Houses Of the Legislature,

THE PAINE LrGHr.-It seems that ths
theory of Mr.. Paine about water light
is not abandoned. We find among our
exchanges the following:
An inventor has succeeded in extract.
ing thousand cubic quarts of hydrogen
from twelve quarts of water. The hy-
drogen needs purifying, but the expense
is little or nothing. The gas is obtained
through the action of an electromagnetic
battry. Sea wateris preferred 10 fresh
water. A company in Paris is in treaty
with the inventor for the privilege Of
lighting that capital ; ard a southern COM
pany is negotiating for the right to ap.
ply the invention upon the Mediterrane-
an to supply the fuel for ten new screw
steamers.
