JACK HAMILToN.-The Connecticut Ra
ideals, anticipating a hard time at the ap.
preaching election in that State, have sent
a delegation to Washington to solicit pro.
minent so-called "loyalists" from the
South to come up and assist them. On
Tuesday, it seems, a delegation called on
Jack Hamilton and made known their mis-
sion. Jack grew furious, and denounced
the Radical party in Congress violently.
He told the representatives of the nutmeg
State that he could make no more speeches
to aid the election Of men who, as soon as
they got into Congress, turned their backs
on the suffering loyalists of the South, and,
worse than all, voted to put them under
military rule. The delegation then left
looking unutterable things.-Net7 York

How TO ECONOMIES FuEL.-Dr. Samuel
Warren, author Of Ten Thousand a Year.
recently wrote letter to the Mayor of
Hull, England, to say that before leaving
Tor London he desired to make a practica
suggestion to the housekeepers Of the
town. The suggestion was this: "To
economize the burning Of coal, send for an
'ronmonger or blacksmith, and order him
70 take the measure of the bottom of your
crate and make you a sheet iron plate OF
ABOUT one-sixth Of an inch in thickness, or
wen less. Simply lay this, and light your
ire as usual. II will soon burn up, but
you must keep pretty open the lowest bar,
so as to secure light draught. When
the fire has begun to burn, poke it gently
from beneath, and the fame will gradually
get through the entire mass Of Goals, the
iron plato beneath gets red hot, and SO
keeps up q constant combustion, at the
same time dispensing the heat through the
room, instead Of its being sent up the
chimney, thus entirely consuming the coal,
instead Of filling the hearth with ashes.''
DIR. Warren continues: "In my own
house tried the experiment for a week
in the brcakfast-room, then in the dining
room, then in the kitchen, with uniform
and complete success and then had the
sheet-iron plate put in every fireplace
and there were many throughout the
housewife equal success. So do with
the fireplace in my official residence.
When the fire is once made up, say about
10 A. NJ, for the day, an occasional poke,
and possibly a simple replenshment, suf-
fees for the day. In my own case, and
also at my hotel here, where three scuttles
were required, one now sutIices. You
must not smile at the simplicity of my sug-
gestion, but contribute what little is in
my power to promote the comfort of and
lessen the expense to every householder in
the good old town of Hull"
A citizen of Hull who has since tried
| this plan writes: "The result in my
house, where / have had quarter-inch
iron plates fitted at the bottom of two fire.
CRATES at an expense Of two shillings each,
is a saving in coal of about one-third, with
a considerable increase in heat. A large
number of persons have already satisfac-
torily tried the experiment, and the use of
the plates is likely to become general in
this locality"
The cost Of the experiment is a mere
trihe.
