STRUCK OIL-WoNDERFuL FLOWING WELL.
Last winter couple ofour townsmen, Drs.
beidler andCrib6eld, determined, if possible,
to make coal oil burn without a aehimney. and
after some three months of labor and expert.
menting, struck upon the principle that
produces perfect combustion of coal oil,
making as white light as gas and much
more steady, and far superior for lighting
dwellings,, halls, stores, hotels, churches and
otner public buildings, because of its pure,
soft, white light. For street lights it will be
equal to gas, and at less than one half the
expense, hence all young cities and towns
can use this light at many thousand dollars
year cheaper and we will here suggest to
our city authorities the propriety of securing
the right to use the F" Illumnator'' before it
is disposed of, as we learn that there are two
or three parties trying to purchase of the
proprletors. Messrs. G. r. Campbell and A.
H. Cribheld, the right of sale and manufac.
ture for the State of Illinois.
Alter the discovery was made and ascer-
sent to Washington for a pateat. and upon
the ground of merit, were granted one in six
DAYS, when the Patent Office is fully six
months behind The light is called the Illu-
minator, and was patented March 18th,
1866, and runs seventeen years. Its merits
deJful and useful discoveries of the age, and
is destined to produce great revolution in
artificial light
The Illuminator is common burner, Just
such as all families are used to, and to man.
age it and makeit give fine, steady, reliable
flame, requires less care and attention than
the chimney burner; it is SO very simple
that there is no mechanism whatever required
to keep it running.
The proprietors are preparing to furnish
the Iluminator to the world, and will also
dispose of rights to States and counties. 1t
can be made in any place where there is tin
shop. and in the manufacture and sale there
is field for speculation never before offered
by patent.
Farewell, then, to the old glass chimney;
your abominations have ceased; you have
drained many pocket. and taxed the pa
tience of two many burnt fingers have add
ed to your sins, and you are set aside with
Joy. All hail we say, to the 1lluminator,
and long repose to the ashes of chimney
lights.
To the people of Logan county, and to our
readers everywhere, we say by all means send
to the proprietors and get an Illuminator, and
see and enjoy the luxury of a good light, and
learn that Lincoln has produced something
which time will prove to be of wonderful
utility. The Illuminator can be furnished in
various styles for 50 so, S., Sc and SO. If
you want rich treat, to read or sew by,
either call and buy or send for one.
We will cease by saying to the country at
large that Lincoln, Illinois, has produced the
biggest thingsin coal oil light the world ever
before seen.-Lincoln (W.) Herald.

SACRIFICING HIMsELF.-When the cholera
first appeared in this country. one of our
citizens was concerned for himself and fami-
ly. He would allow no food to be eaten by
his folks but plain salted meat, fish, bread,
&C., and. whenever any of them wished for
something little extra, they had to shy
over to an obliging neighbor, where they
never failed of getting fine slice of excel.
lent pie, cake, or pudding. Previous to this.
however, they could boast of all these deli
cacies at home.
Things went on thus for week Our
friend it was noticed by his worthy half, did
not have a very good appetite whenever he
came to his meals (for the good reason, pro-
baby, that there many good eating sa-
looms in IL e place, and she thought that good
rhubarb pie would do no HARM but rather
give her husband a relish for his dinner
She accordingly placed one at his side when
he sat down to the monday meal. A cloud
passed over the brow of the head of the fam
lily.
Wife," said he, how often must I
speak of these things? 1t seems as if you
were determined to give us the cholera, de-
spite of all my precautions. Please take
away this detestabte green st'.f'"'
The meek dame silently removed the Of
fendlng dellcacy TO the Kitchen, followed by
the greedy eyes Of half dozen disappointed
youngsters. The father soon got through
his dinner, arose from the table, and passed
out leaving the others to finish their meal Of
plain bread and butter, and fish. The son,
however, not having the fear of his father
before his eyes, and withal signing for the
flesh pots of Egypt" as soon as he thought
his father was out of sight, slyly crept into
the kitchen to get slice Of the coveted pie
But s. when he got there the cupboard was
bare )" the rhubarb was gone.
Thinking, perhaps, that Bridget had
thrown it into the swill barrel, he went tc
the door of the wood shed, when, 10 what a
sight presented itself to the boy u Hamlet
could not have been more surprised at the
sight of his fathers ghost, than was odr
hero at his veritable father. seated upon a
saw buck, with half devoured rhubarb pie
9 detestable green stuff in his hand !
He was sacrificing himself, to save his fam
ly, eating the pie, cholera and all
The son got good share of the prize, by
giving promise not to tell and the old
man slid for his Office. He has not been
heard to say anything against g green stuff
since.

Dean, were engaged as gnners in firing a
salute at sunrise, and were ramming home

A CANDID REBEL.-A Nashville paper re-
ports a CONVEX, alton between n Mississippi
planter and Rebel soldier, regarding the
passage, by the Legislature of Tennessee, of
bill DISTINGUISHING those who had been
active in the Rebellion. The planter was
very full of wrath because Of this legislation,
but the soldier said
u can't blame the Legislature for acting
as it did. 1t done nothing but what we in
tended to Go had we won the fight, in place
of the Yankees. If we had held Ten
nessee we would not have allowed Union
men to vote or hold office, and there is no
sense in my abusing others for doing to me
what had fully determined to do to them
had circumstances been different. ! don't
deny that it is pretty rough to be denied q
vote, but still it is the fate Of war, and ]
know that we Confederates were determined

DEopoRrzBRs.-The following articles are
easily available for the suppression of nox-
ious gases so fatal to health and life:
Two pounds of suIphate of iron "copper"
as) dissolved in pailfu of water, and pour.
ed into vault, will prevent the formation
of sulphuretted hydrogen gas for some time,
and will generally be sufficient to remove all
nuisance.
A layer of charcoal dust will prevent the
escape of all offensive odor from any decom-
posing substance
One pound of nitrate of lead dissolved in a
pailful of water, is excellent for sinks, sink
drains, and vaults.
If other things fail, chloride of lime is al
ways effectnal. and may be freely used in
vaults, and upon other collections of filth.
These substances are not expensive, and
will effectually destroy all the offensive
smells. The quantity to be used will depend
on the quantity of filth to be deodorized, and
their permanancy of effect upon local condi.
tions in each case.

REMOVING SUNKEN RocKs.-The S. F.
Bulletin gives the following account of blast
ing under water:
No drilling of the rock is required, but the
charge of powder is inclvsed in an air tight
can and placed on the surface of the rock,
the pressure of the water serving all the pur-
poses of tamping in the ordinary process of
blasting, and being far more efectual. The
powder in the can is connected, by means of
insulated wires. with an electric battery sta
toned at safe distance from the intended
explosion, and is discharged in the usual way
by electricity.
The charge used in the first blast on the
Eincon Rock yesterday consisted Of l25
pounds of California powder. The can rested
on projecting point of the rock. feet from
the surface of the water, and was connected
by two wires with the battery, which was
stationed in a boat at distance of $50 feet
from the explosion. Lest the attempt might
fail of success no public notice was given of
the. intended blast. and few persons beside
Mr.. Parkinson and his assistants and a score
or more of persons whose business led them
there, witnessed the explosion. Those who
did see it, however. describe it as one of the
most magnificent spectacles ever beheld in
this harbor. At 81 P. NJ, the electric battery
was applied to the insulated wires, and in an
instant dead, mufled, jarring sound was
heard, and a column of water, pyramid in
shape, and not less than so feet broad at the
base, was lifted up out of the bay to a height
of at least IS feet, and fell back with heavy
splash whicl, sent the waves rolling back for
a distance of hundred yards, and produced
a commotion in the water like that of an
earthquake. As soon as the motion of the
waters had ceased, myriads of fishes were
seen floating upon the surface with their
white bellies turned up in token of absolute
and unconditional surrender Though they
had often elnded the tempting bait of the
Italian fisherman, they couid not stand the
sudden and overwhelming onslaught of this
new enemy, and, evidently thinking that the
end of all things had come, they FASTENED to
the surface to be in at the resurrection They
doubtless supposed themselves dead, (if fishes
are supposable cases. but therein they were
mistaken, for such as were permitted to lie
quiet an hourh two, found themselves grad.
ually recovering their senses, and were ena-
bled to paddle back into their native element.
