A VALUABLE IMPRovEMENT.-It is always a
pleasure for journalist TO chronicle any improve
ment which is calculated to add to the beauty or
the business facilities of our city We can all recol-
lect the time when there were none of those grand
brownsone, Picton or marble stores fronting ON
Market street. More especially the last six or
eipht years. have these noble monuments OF business
enterprise and pubic spirit sprung up.
During the war, wnen business men in all branches
of trade wer3 making fortunes, there were many fine
structures erected. Men who before thoupht and
with reason, thata single story could accommodate
all their stock of trade, now find five stored build
ing not too much.
More especially has this prosperity been observed
in the orv goods line. Within the past few years
this business has advanced in a most wonderful
manner, until at the present time the amount of
capital invested and the quantity oil business done
by our importers and jobbers is almost fabu Gus.
Our importat1ons a,e now annually swelling into
the hundreds of millions. AS one walks al ing our
principal business street, lcannot but be struck
with the prosperous appearance our mercantile es.
adjustments There another fact that will attract
the attention of the obscrvant spectator. That is
that business is advancing westward. Itisg-adually
creeping in this direction until it will at last reach
Broad street One of the nGIcations that show this
are the extensive preparations that are now being
made to very largely extend the establishment of
Messrs. Cooper & Conard.
For many years this firm has occupied the pre-
misses at the corner of Ninth anu Market Streets
OWING to the constantly increasing business they
are compelled TO enlarge their building and it will
soon be one OF the largest establishments of the
kind in the street. 1t will have frontage both
Market and Ninth streets, and will be an ornament
to the street. We shall speak further OF this build
ing when it approaches completion.
In the meantime we can only say the finn, to
facilitate their improvements, are now closing out
their very valuable collection of dry goods at very
reduced prices. Those " no wish anything in this
line viii find very fine assortment Of goods of all
descriptions of the latest styles.

There Is great deal OF tro Ibe on oaud for
managers Of the Philadelphia Convention.
George Francis Train says there shall be ne
Copperheads admitted, and the President is
being appealed TO in the strongest terms, not
to allow Democrats to take possession of the
Convention.
Those claiming to be Union men say IL will
ruin him to have to carry the weight of Demo
erats North and ex-Rebsls South, while they
are Just as loud in their assertions that they
are the only trustworthy friends he has, and If
they are not recognized as his friends that he
will have no party.
The President does not yet take sides or an
nounce what he will do. ThurloW Weed has
been sent for and it is said he is very much dis
satisfied because changes and removals are not
made when needed in New York.
Rumor in high circles says that the olamor
OF the Blairs against Seward is more likely to
produce his resignation, than that of Democrats
and eX-Rebels are to remove Mr.. Stanton.

CAUSE OF DEw.-The capacity of
the air for holding moisture depends
upon its temperature. When the
temperature is reduced below the
dew point, portion of its moisture
ia deposited in the form of dew. The
dew point, that is, the minimum
temperature at which given guam
tity of water can remain suspended
in the air, depends upon the hu-
nudity of the atmosphere; the greater
the humidity the nearer it is to the
temperature of the air-so that when
the air contains the SOth part Of its
own weight of water, the dew point
is SO degrees. If the temperature is
reduced to 80 degrees, the dew be-
comes frozen, forming hoar-frost.
This is falling or evening dew, which
the French call serean. Dew is the
most abundant in clear nights, be-
cause the earth and vegetation radi.
ate their heat and become colder
than the surrounding air, which,
coming in contact with these colder
objects, reduces its temperature and
causes it to deposit a part Of its
moisture in the form of dew, the
same as when vessel is filled with
cold water and placed in a warm
room, the moisture from the air very
soon collects on the outside of the
vessel. If the night is cloudy, radi-
alton is prevented, or rather, the
clouds radiate the heat back to the
earth and prevent its becoming much
colder than the air, and there is very
little dew. Dew formed in this way,
which is seen in the morning upon
the leaves Of plants and other cool
surfaces, the French call rosee In
English we have but the one term,
dew, to express both these phe
nomena. Previous to the beginning
of the present century vague and
curious notions were entertained even
by those who made considerable pre-
tensions to science, in regard to the
phenomenon of dew. Probably on
account of its beautiful and brilliant |
sparkling in the morning sun, the
ancients supposed it came from the
stars, and diligently exercised their
inventive faculties in vainly trying
to convert it into diamonds. Still |
later it was supposed by some to be
the sweat Of plants.

CURE FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.-The
Leeds (England) Times says that
the nitrate Of silver rubbed into the
wound made by the teeth of mad
dog will certainly cure hydrophobia,
or prevent all injurious consequences
Of the wound. 1t should be applied
as soon after the accident as possible.
In six weeks the virus is dissent
mated through the system and then
hope is gone. Youatt says he has
been bitten eight or ten times, and
always cured himself by this means.
