The " Scientific American whose opin.
ion on such a subject is the best authority,
says that metallic ifepreseruers, made Of
thin sheet copper, are the safest and best.
Inflated life-preservers made Of India rubber
or such material were condemned at the
meeting Of steamboat inspectors held last
year. In the case Of the burning Of steamer
on the Mississippi, which had number OF
them ON board, they were found totally USE
less in the hour Of need. At the recent
burning Of the steamboat Northern Indiana,
on Lake Erie, numbers Of the inflated life
preseryers on board, it was discovered, had
been rendered useless by being punctured
with pins. The editor Of the American be-
lieyes it would be very easy to make every
seat, table, and mattress used on steamboat
life preserver. and thinks that steamboat
proprietors should be compelled to do this,

Chinese Internal Machine,

A Liutenant on board the ship Niger,
in the British Squadron in the China
Seas, writes:-"Several attempts have
been made to blow the Encounter up by
RATS with barrels of powder, but all un-
successful as we have intercepted them
floating down with the tide. Most of
them had about half ton of powder in
them, and the inferna! machines as may
call them, were of most ingenious contri-
vance. Two RATS, with the powder in a
large barrel under each, we're fastened with
a rope about forty feet long, and the rope
was buoyedup by bamboos. Ifthey come
across ships bows the rope catches, and
one raft goes on each side, and by means
of some detonating process bursts directly

Misaprehenslon Of the Militia Law.
To the Editor of the Ohio Statesman:

mibapr6ncnhlOn OF the AliIiS LAW
To the Editor Of the Ohio Statesman:
SIR:-From the FIRST section of an Alb
stract of the new Militia Law, now being
published il the county papers by the sew
eral Auditors, for the instruction of town
ship and ward Assessors, as to their du-
ties in enrolling the names of call able
bodied white male citizens" general i'm
preston is prevailing, and see it stated
in several public prints, that the persons
above last specified are to be mustered in
the manner Of the old feld-training. This
is erroneous, as a perusal of the sixth sec
tion of the entire act will show, which is
as follows:
"That the Militia thus enrolled shall be
subject to perform no active military duty
save and except in case Of war, invasion,
or to prevent invasion riot or insurrectien 4"
The false impression which Ijdesire thus
to correct was very natural inference
from the first section, taken by itself, and
which section is very nearly transcript
of Article TX, Section /, of the present
constitution of Ohio while the law (see Sec
tion y provides only for the active dis
lciplining of volunteer companies.
Respectfully, s. D. HARRIS,

THE SAME EvERYwHERE.-The fruits
of black republican Hindoo rule are the
same everywhere. In every instance a
large increase Of the public expenses and
of the peoples taxes has followed their
accession to power. In Massachusetts,
the Boston Post says that since $50, the
expenditures have more than doubled. In
that year the ordinary current expenses of
theState were $642, lO5;in 1856 they were
1885, 996, or more than the current ex-

IN the last four years to meet this expense,
with the.tax to be made this year, amounts

tw-A bill has become a law in Oh

H- A bill has become a law in Ohio
which provides that all property held for
religious purposes shall be deemed to be
the property of the congregation, and
shall be held by corporation for that
purpose, for organizing which the bill also
provides; but in cases where it has already
been decided to on individual, for the
Church, exclusive of any rights of the
congregation, it may remain in his hands
till his death or removal; after which it
must pass into the possession of the con-
templated corporation. But if no such
corporation has been formed, it shall pass
to the State, to be held in trust for the
congregation. This, of course, would in
terfere with the present system of holding
Church property among the Catholics.
