better than the present to suggest the use Of
proper precautions which may serve to pre-
vent any future accidents from this cause
Among these precautions, the most obvious
oIe is the use Of Low Water Detector, which
shall infalIlbly detect and announce the coming
Danger. Ashcroft's Dstector at once supplies
this want To recommend it is almost super
auous. In every properly regulated shop aud
mannfaetory it is already in use and has more
than answered the uses for which
it was designed. It invariably works with
certainty, is simple. never gets ont Of repair,
and is based upon correct scientific principles.
No boiler should be without it for single
day and it would be = most commendable act
to enforce its use by municipal ordinance or
Legislative enactment. We might publish
numberlees aft1davits Of its merits, among
them certificates from the most prominent
manufacturers Of the city, which have been
received by Messrs. WalWorth, Hubbard &;
Co., Of this city, who are agents for its sale in
the West, but it is unnecessary. A simple
examination will satisfy every person that IL
is the beat Detoctor offered to the public, q
perfect safeguard against the loss Of property

observed, Meesrs. Walworth, Hubbard d Co.
No. Isl Lake street, are the sole agents to

CONSOLIDATION OF LoNDoN.-The House
OF Commons has appointed committe to
inquire into the local government of the
great British metropolis, with view TO the
establishment Of a municipal government
over it that shall embrace the whole city.
AS now constituted, London embraces a
number Of distinct municipalities. having
their separate boards Of officers, including
police, and separate jurisdictions. and as a
natural consequence there was a good deal
of friction in the operation Of these inde-
pendent governments. The frequent conflicts
of Jurisdiction, and the numerous obstacles
TO the execution of measures important to
the public welfare. With the constant squab-
bling growing ont Of this state Of things,
have completely disgusted the Londoners.

hostile Indians, each of which resulted in
damage to the enemy. On Sunday last,
Lieutenant Collins, with twenty-three men,
attacked a ranch of Indians, aud in a brief,
but brisk fight. killed twenty and wounded
three Others. Onth next morning an at
tack was made, also led by Lieutenant
Collins, on a large village, when five Indi-
ans were killed aud three badly wounded.
The number of warriors in this ranchere
we're estimated at near $50 but they fed
after the first charge. leaving the troops in
possession. Several articles were found
here that we're taken from Larabee's at

ZSToRM INDIcAToRs.-Th magnetic tele-
graph, combined with barometrical obser-
vatIous, is employed with much efficiency
in England to regulate the departure Of
vessels from the various ports, so as to avoid
needless exposure to approaching storms.
Lieut. Maury recommends this subject to
the Secretary Of the Treasury, he says:
To extend from the sea to The land the
beneficent system of the meteorological CO.
operation and research, in which all the
maritime nations are engaged, would re.
quire no fresh call upon the treasury, and
to connect with II proper system Of daily
weather reports by telegraph, for the pur-
pose of giving warning in advance of all
wide spread storms and extensive changes
Of weather, would be the comforting of an
inestimable boon, not only to the shipping
interests Of the country, but to its agrcul-
tnral also, and, indeed. 20 all the avocations
and pursuits of the people that are affected

Prospects Of the Confederate states.

Alex. II. Stephens. in an elaborate speech
lately delivered at Savannah, spoke as fol-
lows in relation to the future prospects of
the Confederate Government:
We have all the essential elements Of a
high national career. The idea has been
out at the North and even in the border
States, that we are too small and too weak
TO maintain a separate nationality. This "a
great mistake. Ia extent of territory we
embrace $4,000 square miles and upwards.
This is upwards of 100000 square miles
more than was included within the limits
OF the original thirteen States. Ii is an
area of country more than double the ter
yitorY of France or the Austrian emufro
France 10 round numbers has but 2l2.000
square miles Austria in round numbers
has 24S,000 square miles. Ours is greater
than both combined. 1t is greater than oil
France, Spain, Portugal, and Great Britain
including England, ireland aud Scotland
together. In population we have upwards
OF five millions, according to the census Of
1860 this includes white and black. The
entire population, including white aud
black, of the original thirteen States, was
less than 1000, 900 in 1890, and stil less in
'f6, when the independence of our fathers
was achieved. If they, with less popula-
tion, dared maintain their independence
against the greatest power on earth, shall
we have any apprehension Of maintaining
ours now F.?
In point of material wealth and resources
we are greatly in advance of them. The
taxable property of the Confederate States
cannot be less than S22, ,000. 000. 600 This
| think, venture but little in saying, may
be considered as five times more than the
colonies possessed at the time they achieved
their independence. Georgia alone pos
sussed last year, according to the report Of
our Comptroller General, S672, 900. 600 of
taxable property. The debts of the seven
Confederate States sum up 10 the aggregate
less than SlS,OOO,000; while the existing
debts OF the other Of the late United States
sum up In the aggregate the enormous
amount OF Sl74,000000. This il without
taking into the account the heavy city
debts. corporation debts. and railroad debts
which press and will continue to press. a
heavy incubus upon the resources Of those
States. With such area Of territory-with
such an amount of population-with cli-
mate and soil unsurpassed by any on the
lace OF the earth-with such resources nj.
ready at our command--with productions
that control the commerce of the world
who can entertain any apprehensions as to
our success, whether Others Join us or not?
In giving the taxable property of the
Confederate States, an extra figure has
doubtless been added to Mr.. Stephens esti-
mate. The amount stated, 22,OOO, 1000, 900,
exceeds the total taxable property Of the en-
tire Union, including the seeded stater.
According to the latest reports published
from the several States, The total assessed
valuation Of The seven that have seeded
was 81 ,S27 ,3O7, 1924, of which $4Ol ,753, COO
