Gas Fittine and Fixtures.

Mr.. Spelmau, contractor for building
the Gas Works, and John Green practi-
cal Gas filter and plumber, of Cleveland,
Ohio, have opened Gas fitting and
plumbing establishment, one door east of
Doctor Henry's Office on Washington
street. They have received and opened
at their rooms large stock of tubings and
fittings and good assortment of Gas fix
lures, chandeliers, double and single pen
dauts, harps, drop lights, brackets, globes
&c, and are prepared to put up fittings in
stores, hotels, and residences, whsre owners
or occupants are ready to have them put
up. The contractor is, bound by agree
ment with the city to have the works CON-
pleted and street pipes laid ready for light
ing up the town in recember next.
In order that all who desire to use Gas
Lights may have their fittings in readiness
it will be necessary that the work Of put.
ting them up be commenced at once and
prosecuted vigorously as it will take all
the time between this and December to
get the fittings into the number Of build
ings to be lighted and at the best doubt
less some will be then unfinished. We
make these suggestions upon information
Of those experienced in these matters, and
for the beueft Of consumers that all who
intend to use Gas may be ready in time. 4
Mr.. Spelman informs us that his Gas
apparatus and a portion of the street
pipes are on the way from New York, via
Chicago, and will be here in time to ena-
bluff him to complete the works according

From reading the National Flag, by
PIKE, we should think 'sSam" had gone
to sleep at his post,editing alocofoco paper
in opposition to coon skins and Hard Cider,
Tip and Ty, and had just been awaken
ed. In his, half asleep and half awake
condition, he appears to be trying to get
hold Of the thread Of his discourse as then
broken off. During the next two years he
will probably discover that the party is in
good deal worse condition than even in

and reproduction Of dead issues, to get up

SINGULAR FoRErHouaHr. The Onta-
rio Reporter learns by gentleman from
Coberg, that on Wednesday last young G
man stranger, went round the town and
regularly summoned a coroners jury to
meet at the house of Mr.. Brody, coroner
at twelve o'clock that day. At the hour
appointed he came himself to the kitchen
door of Mr.. Brody's house, entered and
proceeded deliberately to table, opened a
drawer, and taking case knife therefrom
drew it across his throat. He then start
ed up stairs, but fell near the top, and e1-
pired before help could be obtained. He
is supposed to belong to Montrenl, and
came last from Port Dartmouth.

Our friend Endsley, chief MARSHALL Of

witbstanding some dreadful threats, We
have great deal of regard, met with sad
loss yesterday. He has our profoundest

self in good position to watch the articles
until an opportunity should present itself
for shipping. And Notwithstanding his

The Rapids--Ths Gate City,

The Gate some weeks ago took offence
at sore aenarks Of this paper il regard to
Col. Curtis effort to resuscitate q certain
defunct Hy ydrauic Company, through the
columns Of the Missouri Republican. al.
though none Of their quarrel and contrary
to the maxim Of Hudibras, the Gate edit
ors have indulged in two or more very fa-
cetious articles, intended to advertise their
wonderful abilities, but from which but
one fact is apparent and even that is not
fully established. They produce two gar
bled extracts to show that Col. Forrer Of
Ohio, who had something to do with Gen.
gineering the raging Ohio Canal, agrees
with Col Curtis, in the estimates and the
practieability Of the projected slack water
improvement. Even admitting, which
We do not, that Col. Farrer has given the
opinion as pretended, it only proves that
one sane man, outside Of Keokuk, agrees
with Curtis. Our assertion was tlat FIVE

get the other four? s5 ues9 als q
That paper began with a misstatement,
IGNoRANTLY made, Of course, to the effect
that themode of operation, adopted last
year, had this season, been abandoned for q
new one. 81 This assertion we scontradicted
on the authority ofthe Engineer in charge
The charter Of this Hydraulic Company
is not legally in existence, having expired
by limitation but Of this the Gate was
doubtless IGNORANT, as it is too conscien,
tious print to deceive the publi:.
About this Hydraulic Company we cart
nothing. The Gate, Col. Curtis and

there is no fairness in their indulging il
falsehoods and misstatements in regard t
other matters. If the parties interested
can make moneycd men believe the pro
posed Canal can be built for half million
all they have to do is go ahead. We dc
not wonder that the water power is consid
cred an object. All we have to say is
we hope the editors Of that paper may liv,
to see the canal built at the estimate. Ant

Protes tants and Papists,

= -t.tsf 3IOteStaAtS anu 1aplSCSs-;
On the relation of these parties the
Edinburgh Review for July speaks as fol
lows: se& - >ts,aS ~
thoughtful Protestant generally ac-
knowledges that Roman Catholics are his
brother Christians, however mistaken; that
they worship the same Saviour with HIM
self, and profess to make His divine teach
ing the guide of their lives. He will de-
plore that they should have added baseless
system of human mediators to the simple
Gospel; and that wicked men amongs: them
should have often, with show of public au-
thority, taught rules of conduct which he be-
lieves to be quite irreconcilable with the pure
precepts of Christ. But, mistaken or bad as
be holds them to be, he still looks upon them
as rartakers Of the same hopes with himself,
and he believes that very manv of his Roman
Catholic fellow.coantrymen every year, thro'
the teaching of their priests, mixed as it
is with gross errors, still learn how to live
and die steadfast in the love of Christ. Nor
is it enough to show that Roman Catholic
teaching, in some very important matters, is
of dangerous moral tendency. There may
be forms of Professionalism, intoxicating thco-
retical views as to liberty and knecessity,
WHiCu3 sstdtou udheulyS we DSlleVe 10 Oe OPP
posed to all sound notions of morality; yet
in the persons holding these views Christian
principle is powerful to counteract in prac-
tice the evil leaven which has been mingled
with it. The only reason why Protestant
community need hesitate to treat Romanists
as they treat all other Christians would be-,
if they were proved to occupy such posi-
sition in their allegiance to a foreign Power
as would make it impossible for them to be
good subjects and citizens. Yet even here
reasonable man would be disposed to test
the degree of their offence not by their alb
stract doctrines stated logically, but by their
practice. And it will require no argument
to show that Roman Catholics are PRACTICAL
ly good and loyal subjects. Witness the
brave soldiers Of our Irish regiments, and
the spotless honor of our Roman Catholic
nobility and gentry. To the true British
loyalty shown by high and low amongst
them, the English people will never be in
duced to refuse the need of praise by dis
like Of the Italian craft Of Cullen, or the
Aorid clustering Of his Eminence OF West
minister, or the noisy phrenzy of the Brass
Band. We trust that the day of Inkermann
will prove to be the last 9Th Of November on
which the Incorporate and obsolete service
for the Gunpoxder Treason will ever be
heard stirring up angry feelings in our
churches. sssl ,Sssse7ss sasEt Y s4eSSl

AMERICANS IN PARIS

Madame de Marguerittes, sprightlv
French writer, in a late work, s'The Ins and
Outs of Paris" does not give a very en-
chanting picture Of our countrymen in Pa
ris. She says the American visitors in Paris
usually rich specimens of upper tendon
come there, resolved to make as much noise
as possible, and get into the very worst So
ciety to be obtained for money in that CITY !:
'Iney dress ridiculously, always do things NO
one else would do, and at hours when no one el 40
would 90 them, but where there plenty of
lockers on, whether to blame approve, matters
not notoriety appears to be their passion here as
well as at home

come to Psris-perssts in confounding all French
women into two classes-lorettes and grisettea !;
that 10. as far virtue and morality concerned
This generally insures his being turned out of the
first respectable house he gets into, and 30 ibrews
him among the very class he has been seeking,
with whom he of course atfches himself.
"The American lsdies, however. have more tact
and sense though even they delight In outrseing
the customs of the country In which they reside.
at must be confessed, however that the Ameri.

1--WE beg your mercy about Americans: They
have no standard whereby to judge them so to
Europeans they are all alike and the French peo'
pie, tired of English snobbery are inclined to pet
the or{ginalite Americaia, that halt civilized
country, OF which. by-the-by, they know as much
as they do of the mountains in the moon. Ameri
cans have admirable opportunities, therefore, of
going into the best society both French and Eng
lish; but In general those who are rich, do not
choose to be admitted into society, but Insist on
being themselves leaders of fashion an attempt
which euds In disappointment and exclusion, and

THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR IN ST. LoUIs.-The
ST. Louis Republican, speaking of the discovery oil
the body of female there the Sd instant, in the
city grave yard, says:
.The head of the barrel was painted blue with
the words "New York brandy, Al gallons" upon it.
Uoon opening, 1t was found to contain human
being in state of nudity. Upon farther examina-
tion it was found to be that of female about %
wears of age and far advanced 10 pregnancy. She
was of rather low stature and had dark brown
hair done up 10 two plaits about eighteen inches In
length, ard tied up on the back part of the head
Her lower teeth were short and close set, and the
two large front teeth were little apart, and p-
clined to project outwards The body, from its
appearance, had evidently been buried for some
time, as il was very much decomposed.
The St. Louis Mirror says that the polcs are
upon the trail of parties connected with the foul
transaction.
