DR.: W. E. Hogan, Of Troy, New York, q
well known chemist, has demonstrated the
fact that water will burn, or rather that
its elements can be eheaply deoomposed
and used to economical advantage in all
places where coal or wood are used for
fuel. Substances containing carbon tax

portion Of the elements necsssSrY 10 deyel-
op hset. This discovery has been braoti-
eslly demonstrated in the City by oOmps-
tent parties during the past Winter, and
We believe no one who has investigated its
claims to the public favor, doubts its real.
lty and great value. The apparatus,
which has been patented BY Dr.. Hogan,
seems to be perfectly practicable and sp-
plicabte in all apparatus where coal or
wood is used for fuel, and the saving By
its use is shown in some csses to reach the
high figure Of seventy five per cent, while
1t is claimed that in no case has It fallen
below fifty per cent. the quality Of the heat
being very much improved. A stove ex-
hibiting this singular phenomenon may be
seen in operation at the Office Of F. D.
Richardson & Co., Ne. 50 Nassau-street,

General Grant is back from Fortress

tion.

relation to the bequest by Commodore
Levy of the Jefferson Homestead to the o. g.
shows that the property includes Month
cello.-
Two hundred thousand dollars is be-
questhed in real estate in New York, and
one hundred thousand dollars in stocks,
in the trusts for agricultural schools for
the support of warrant officers of the ma
Wy.
In thssupreme Court, JusticesSuGherlsnd
and Clark rendered decision declaring the
bequest to the United States invalid, Jus.
tine Nulten dissenting. The case has been
taken to the Court of Appeals, pending
whose decision Attorney General Bates
suspends any decision, but is disposed to
look with little favor upon the assumption
of such trusts for merely charitable OBJ
jects.
The bill for the adjustment Of the vener-
able French spOilation claims, as reported
by Mr.. Sumner, to-day, apprOpristes sum
not to exceed five millions Of dollars in ad-
justment of Ofdsmsgss for dstsntiOns, seizure
and captures made by the French during
the eighteenth century. Itdoes not cover
the claims embraced in the convention of
1903, nor the treaty of 1919 between the
United States and Spain, nor under the
treaty Of 1881 with France. The bill au-
thorizes the appointment of three commits
siOners for ,hree years at $1,000, and a
Secretary at $1,000, the expenses Of the
Commissioners not to exceed $4,000.
The Secretary of War returned an an

TIE ANTI FRENCH RESOLUTION.

THE ANTI FRENCH RESOLUTION.
The resolution adopted unanimously in
the House to-day, from the Committee on
Foreign Relations, is constructed by its
authors as amounting to a notice to France
and to NaximilIisn that if they carry out
their interference in Mexican af-
fairs and establish one where
they can not have any recognition
from the United States now, and are GER
tain to have war hereafter. It is not
probable that the Senate will delay action
on it, although the Senate Committee was
not consulted on the subject at sll. 1t is
noteworthy that contrary to usual custom,
the House, in this matter, takes the lead
Of the Senate, fact dOubtldss due to Win
ter Davis.

The Decay of Conyersation.

The ancient rt of talking is falling
into decay. IT is an ascertainable
fact that, in proportion to an increased
amount of population, the aggregate
bulk of conversation is lessening.-
People nowadays have something
else to do than ak not only do they
live in such a hurry that there is only
leisure for just comparing ideas as to
the weather, but they have each and
all a gross quantity to do, which puts
talking out of tie question. If per-
sons remain at lone, they read we
have met misguided individuals out in
the open fold, with books in hand !;
young folks have been seen stretched
underneath trees, ond upon the banks
Of rivers, poring over pages; on the
tops of mountains, in the desert, or
within forests--everywhere men pull
printed sheets from their pockets, and
in the parliest, highest occupations of
life, they read. The fact is incontest-
ably tue, that modern men and wo-
men hre reading themselves into a
comparatively silent race. Reading
is the great delusion Of tho present
time it has become a sort Of lay
piety; according TO which, the perusal
of vlumes reckon as good works; it
is, in a word, the superstition of the
nineteenth century.-Chan'bers' Jour

T.agislatins for Saginaw.


As the time draws near for the as
sombley of our State Legislature the
people Of this valley should begin TO
devise measures TO subserve the great
Interests centering along the Saginaw
River. The first and most important
Is tie dredging of the river, 50 as to
make il at all times navigable for our
largest vessels. Every man in the
Valley, who owns a dollars worth of
property or ever expects to, is as
much interested in this measure as
are the Salt and Lumber inanufactu
rers in proportion TO the value of their
respective properties. All the plans
hitherto adopted have failed, for the
very reason, that action was wholly
voluntary, and there arealways enough
of the ".penny wise and pound fool
ish class to defeat so great public
object by refusing to take common in
terest in its accomplishment. What
is necessary is the passage of an act
that will COMPEL the payment of a
tax sufficient TO dohaY the work and
put it upon such n basis as shall be
just and equitable to every part of the
Valley. A work of this magnitude
under personal management and con-
tract, at once becomes tho subject of
speculation, and tho chief object be-
ing to pocket as much as possible Of
the Green Backs and do as little as
possible of the work. But if per-
formed under an act Of tho Legisla-
ture properly guarded by surveys and
accurate estimates, and the work let
by sealed proposals, there is a fair
prospect that the work will be well
done before single dollar is paid
over to the contractors. The public
will get value received for the small
tax they will be called upon to pay,
and we shall see the business upon
our river assume a vigor and enter
prise never before witnessed. Tray
cling by boats will become again a
mater Of pleasure, and degree of
certainty viii attend the arrival and
departure Of boats, that during the
past season has been decidedly like
angels visits. The details of such an
act could be easily arranged, and we
hope the Representatives from this
Valley Will unite upon some plan by
which they may accomplish ga con-
Summation SO devoutly to be wished"

an odour Of stale rum; the parlour,

OF asparagus boughs in the chimney

THE AMERICAN PEorLE.--Do they

most promiscuous elements, gathered
as the discontinued from all lands p
/ confess the collection. But in this
very discomfort with all other lands,
l discern, elso, the most remarkable
testimonies of homogeneous char
acter and purpose. They are tho Off
shots of all lands. They are the fruit
Of all lands. They are the scum, if
men choose to call them SO, of oil
lands, conceding in that worry illustra-
ton, that they are rising, volatile,
progressive elements Of all people,
which the grinding Of oppression has
expressed, and the boiling Of revolu-
ton has disengagod. They are not
the crude, dead, neutralized, consorv-
ative sediment and mass which re-
mains behind when the work of pre-
paration has been complete. They
arc the people of all lands, who have
cherished aspirations Of all freedom,
and who could not endure the bond
