SOLDIERS AND CITIZENS, LOOK OUT FOR
THE ASSESSMENTS. There arc large num-
Der of returned soldiers who, during the
four years war, losttheir assessments at their
usual places of residence. Some ofthem Sc
cured the right to vote under the article of
the Constitution allowing soldiers to vote !;
but many of them no doubt neglected to be
properly assessed last fall To all such, we
would suggest that it is their duty to watch
the assessment lists, which are required to
be posted at various places in their districts
In few weeks. IF they should not find
their names there, they should be particular
to attend the extra assessment and secure
their right Let all earnest Democrats at
tend to this, and if one man can be found in
the District who is not assessed, and who viii
vote for CLYMER and the restoration Of the
Union have him assessed at once. Once
assessed, and having paid their taxes, they
will be ready to vote in October, as it is their
privilege and duty to do as faithful citizens.

| We deeply regret to announce the death of
! Mr.. DEAN RICHMOND, after an illness of a
few days, in the city of New York. Mr..
RICHMOND was widely known as most inn
| portant and influential public man. He was
universally recognized as one Of the great
leaders of popular opinion in the great En-
pire State. While never aspiring to or
holding Office, he put In motion the elements
that selected other men. The role he played
upon the political boards was not that of
the king, but the still higher one of WAR
WICK, the king maker He was q man of
great power and force of will, and that,
united to his native shrewdness and subtle
craft, gave him an ascendency over almost all
of those with whom he was brought into
contact.
Few men were ever better educated by
their peculiar talents and disposition to have
taken the part of a great diplomatist Com
iEg upon the stage of active life when such
men as VAN BUREN, MARCY and SnAs
WRIGHT were the great leaders of New
York, and being imbucd with their political
sentiments, he became one of their best and
most trusted disciples, and, when they had
passed away, the mantle of party manage
ment fell naturally and gracefully upon him
and it was worn with surprising ability. He
united much of the cunning of VAN BUREN,
the sagacity of MARCY and the moderation
Of SILAs WRIGHT
For some eighteen years, by successive an
nual elections, he was made member OF
the New York Democratic State Central
Committee, and in each instance was chosen
its President For the last twenty years he
was always one of the delegates from the
State at largo to Presidential National Con-
ventions, and he usually exercised q mighty
influence in shaping their action. But pol
itics was only one and not the most important
phase of his career.
For nearly twenty years as Vice-President
and President of the New York Central
Railroad, he ranked among the best 6nan-
ciers and business men of the United States
He was the principal director of that i'm
mense corporation, and he did it so skillfully
as to secure for him always the confidence of
the stockholders and owners of the road To
the road, his death will be great calamity,
for where can they find successor who
unites go much political prestige to personal
ability? lie was thoroughly selfmade
man, as in early life his opportunities for
education and selfculture were of the poorest
character. He was brought up in the stern
school of poverty and privation, and in en-
countering them laid the great elements of
his future success. Some forty years ago he
worked as a salt-boiler in Syracuse, New
York, and few men would then have pre-
dicted in the humble laborer the late cele-
brated railroad President and politician, who
for quarter of a century was the maker of
Governors, Congressman and Presidents. In
the present condition of the Country, the
death of Mr. RICHMOND is sad calamity,
for no one was SO well fitted, by his character
and past associations, to harmonic and mould
the different elements opposed to the Jaco-
bin party of the nation. His age must have
been about sixty-fve years

TIE GAS MrLTIPLIER.-Wc are pleased
to record the brilliant success obtained by
Mr.. Poznanski last night during his prac-
teal experiments with the carburating APP
paratus at our office. Mr.. Poznanski's
continuance to show the immense difference
between the ordinary city gas and that OBJ
tanned with the additional carbonic agent
was as ingenious in its device as conclu-
sive in the results obtained. Quite num-
Der of our most intelligent and cntcrpri-
sing citizens throngcd our counting-rOom
to witness Mr.. Poznanski's experiments,
and the impression produced resulted in
the complete endorsement of the real
worth which the patentee claims for this
invention. In fact, the enormous superb
ority of this new system (carbonizing the
city gas after its passage through the
mctre) merits the serious attention of all
gas consumers; and as we are now using
the multiplier in our entire establishment,
we shall take the opportunity at an early
day of informing the public infinitely Of
the results of our experience. So far, we
confess to have been benefited. Our
printers much prefer the new light, and
our metre shows very great reduction in
consumption of gas.-Charleston Ners.

PRACTICAL ADVANTAGES OF SUPERHEAT-
ING STEAM.-Mr. w. ii. Buckley, of New
York, writing in the October number of
the Jom7,al Of the Franklin Institute, tells
Us that the volume and elasticity of steam
are increased to a wonderful extent by a
very moderate degree of experimenting, and
its subsequent operation in the cylinder is
highly satisfactory. 1t is clear, says Mr..
b., that as the greater part of the steam
generated in boilers is obliged to pass
through the water above it in its way TO the
steam-pipe, it must unavoidably carry with
it much water in the form Of spray, me-
chemically combined and held in suspension.
Now, by experimenting this wet, saturated
steam il is converted into an elastic vapor,
by the complete and instant aGreous vapor
ization of its surplus moisture, while its
temperature is raised sufficient toprcserve
it from premature condensation in passing
to the cylinder or to the heating or drying
coils. 1t is proved by experiments that
the higher the degree of superheating the
greater is the economy.

Tho ncyt dav he was in Brussels with only

who had had but to say the word to the

know how life was sustained. From a
handsome man Of thirty-four, in the full
flush of vigor, lie sank to the appearance
of an old man of eighty. His hair was
white, his back curved, his eyes sunken,
and his cheeks hollow. Day and night this
miserable man is said to have wept over his
sorrow and his past career. He died cry
ing. The hand of poor fellow-country-

have been his transgressionS, few will re-
member him otherwise than an ornament
to society, and will grieve at his misfortune
and blight of life. His name was Charles

The bell which is heard in the first act OF
"Don Jhan dAutriche," at the Theatre
Francois, is one of those which, on the Gath
of August, 1872. gave the signal for the
massacre Of St. Bartholomew. Being put
for sale during the revolution, all the bells
of St. German rAuxerrois were bought
by founder named Flauban, who parted
with the smallest of them to the theatre
just named. 1t was rung for the first time
ut the theatre in 1901, at the first perform
ance of "Edouard en- Ecosse," by Alexan-
der Duval.
A person meeting with an acquaintance
after long absence, told him he was sur
prised to see him, for he had heard that he
was dead.
"But," says the other, "you find the re-
port false"
"'Tis hard to determine" he replied,
for the man that told me was one whose
word would sooner take than yours"
A coarse, ill-natured fellow died one
day, and his friends assembled ct his fune-
rel but no one had q good word to say about
Tue deceased. Even at tho grave all were
silent. AT length good-hearted German,
- nc turned to go homo, said, "Vell, he
vas goot schmoksr." '.
