Gas FFOm Oil Lamps ImpDrtance OF
Ventilation.

The practice OF burning common lamDs

Gus. The gas generated By the lamp is
OF u POISONOUS nature, and exceedingly
detrimental to health, affecting the lungs
very seriously. IF the lamp IS allowed. to
burn. as when in common use, the gas is
nearly I'll consumed in th1 chimney. but
when the wick is turned down 50 as to
give but a dim light in the room, the gas
generated Is not consumed. but escapes
into the room Ii the windows and
doors OF the apartment are tightly closed.
rs Is generally the case in the winter
season, the occupants cannot escape the
injurious effects. II It Is necessary to
keep a light burning let the wick be kept
kept fully up, and if there is no transom
over the door, then by all means let one
OF the windows down an inch or more at
the top. The practice Of retiring to bed
in close room with an eli lamp dimlv
burning, IS most dangerous, and the eff
feet upon the respiratory origins will be
seriously felt, sooner or later. Delicate
persons cannot continue the practice
very long wi hout experiencing the most
serious results

great bug0ear among timid parents, has

The Late Sterling Price.

The following obituary of the rebel
General Sterling price, from the Chicago
Times, may be true enough, but if a very
distinguished Union soldier. had died. he
would scarcely have received SO conlpli-
mentary a notice:
General Sterling Price died in st.
Louis yesterday. By all who knew him
1t Will be conceded that he was one Of the
best men that espoused the bad cause of
the rebellion
Educated civilian, General Price de-
yeloped in the Mexican war the talents Of
an able military commander, united to
the characteristic qualities that adorn the
profession of arms. l. returned to pri-
vate life bearing honors that were desery.
ed as well as achieved.
IRere is reason to believe that General
Price espoused the cause of the rebellion
with great reluctance The convention
entered into between him and General
Harvey In lS6l-the former representing
Missouri, and the latter, as was supposed
having the authority of Federal Com
n-Cilef-was without doubt an
agreement made on his part in good faith,
and III good faith he would have eXerted
his utmost power to execute it, in pre-
serving the peace of Missouri. That he
whould have succeeded may be more
than doubtful; and yet such was his IN
huence over the people of that state that
the Federal Government could have well
afforded to make some sacrifice of pride
in order to neutralize his history. He
looked upon the reputation of that
agreement as a threat intended to i7tim-
idate, and not to placate the people of
Missouri. Ii was, perhaps, the manner
quite as much as the fact of that repudia
ton, which decided him il the course he
Subsequently pursued
General Price never held a commission
lii the army Of the Confederate States, al
though at one time he commanded the
mississippi Department. His
popularity III that command was so great
that, when q report was circulated that
the Richmond Government had super
seeded him, public Indignation rose to Il
point that almost threatened rebellion
against the rebellion, and to alay the
public feeling. Mr.. Davis sent 4 telegram
contfadicting the report
In retlreing to Mexico at the close of
the war General Price was probably i'm
PEELED by a desire to repair his ruined
fortune, more than by any Discrimination
to live again among his old friends, and
implacable enemies, in Missouri In
that desire he did not succeed. He re-
turned to ST. Louis about year ago,
broken in health and penniless in estate.
From that time until his death, he lived
in retirement from politics, and almost
from society The immediate cause OF
his death was disease contracted during
the war in Mexico
