How TO PUT OUT FIRES A
Consulting Chemist writes sci
entilic paper that he happened to be
present some time ago at the burn
ing of an oil distillery. "The
place was, as usual, drowned with
water, which merely had the effect
of spreading the flames and increas-
ing their intensity, for the oil burn
ed until there appeared to be moth.
ing left to support the flames.
noticed the flaming oil floating on
the surface of the water on the
floors. The water running down
the walls bore q flaming surface Of
oil likewise. This shows that the
water had little or no power ovel
the burning oil.
There was lying near the building
in which the fire broke ont a large
quantity Of sand. Now, if half-a-
dozen men, provided with spades,
had dashed a lot of this sand
upon the flames soon after the fire
was discovered, it would have been
put out and but little damage have
been done.
Some time ago / put out fire
which might have destroyed an i'm
mense amount of valuable proper
ty by simply dashing fifty or a
hundred shovelfuls of Stacked lime,
which happened to be near at hand,
upon the flames, which literally
choked them out The fire in this
case was caused by a cask of oil
being ignited accidentally. This is
only one of the many fires which l
have seen put out by adopting the
same means. l consider it would
be a good plan if owners of such
places as oil works, ETC., always had
at hand a quantity of sand, dry old
lime waste, ETC., which could be
used in the manner l have stated"

GEN, SHERMAN had a long inter,
view with the President and Gen,
Grant yesterday. The President
has not yet rendered the Secretary
ship of War to him, but there is
no doubt that he was summoned to
Washington for that purpose. The
President has been sounding him
on all issues between himself and
Congress, and finds him to be not
as subservient as he had hoped. II
is understood that Sherman will
not accept the war office, unless the
determination of the President to
remove Grant is fixed. The rela-
tions between Sherman and Grant
are of the most cordial character
The result OF the elections to-day.

course. He pretends to have no
doubt that they will be favorable to
him, but hestares in taking any i'm
portant step until he shall hear from
the people of Pennsylvania and

The NATIONAL CREDIT DEPRE-
cIATED,-A Washington dispatch OF
the 9th, says:
The tenor Of all the official in
formation from Europe is to the
effect that recent speeches on the
finances are being used by specula-
tors and parties hostile to the Uni
ted States with the greatest indus
try, and with considerable effect, in
depreciating the national credit ;
that United States bonds have fall
en- very considerably, mainly
through these influences, within the
last few weeks, and that Rueters s
telegraph agency manifested the ut
most alacrity in disseminating re-
ports concerning our finances bear
ing the worst constructions; and
even an absurd rumor found its
way into Europe, and has gained
considerable credence, that the No
vember interest due on our bonds
is to be paid by the Secretary Of
the Treasury, in greenbacks, instead
of gold. TO these statements and
reports, an official reply has been
furnished, that, practically, an ex-
preston on this subject is useless,
as no one can reasonably doubt,
that even with a moderate degree
of prosperity, the paper currency
of the United States will be on a
par with gold, long before the time
the gold bearing securities of the
United States shall be presented for
the first issue of the 5-2OI
bonds having about fourteen years
yet to run. Therefore, it is insist
ed that the present discussion, as to
whether the bonds are payable in
gold or not, can lead to no pgacH
cal good. v

JEFF. DAVIS IN CANADA.-The
latest reports concerning this noted
person states that he is about taking
up his residence in Toronto. He
has for some months been a resi-
dent of Montreal, and the idea has
become current that he was living
like . retired monarch, courted by
the Canadians, and worshipped by
those who followed his fortunes,
and cleft their country for their
country's good" The truth is,
that Davis hes for some months oc-
cupied an inferior house in Montre-
al, and his presence in that city is a
matter of indifference to the major
ity of those who live there. That
he is not surrounded by any num-
erous cortege may be readily seen,
when we state that a day scarcely
passes over his head that he is not
seen at the st. Lawrence Hotel,
where his presence creates no more
excitement than that of any other
person who drops in to hear the
news and see what is going on. His
departure from Montreal will cause
no regret, and his presence in To-
ronto will create a nine days talk,
when he will be dropped. Aaron
Burr lived many years after the
public had almost forgotten that
such man ever had an existence,
and Jefferson Davis will no doubt
follow in his footsteps. Boston

DimOnN Weddings.

Whenever any body wastes moro
money than he can spare on we'd
ding, and in the language Of the
world cuts u swell, he is said to have
celebrated Il diamond wedding, a
day or two since the telegraph
brought us news that 4 pair Of
gosIings had been cutting such Il
swell in Canada. This wedding,
the information of which was so
widely Disseminated, had the rc-
markable feature of having an cdi-
tor for male gosling. One would
have thought that his experience
would have prevented him from the
porpctration of that modern folly, Il
splendid wedding Had he paused
to reflect hewould aforementioned
that of the many such to which his
journalistic attention had been di-
rected, not one in ten had proved
happy.
George Francis Train, in recent
speech in New York, said: Our
modern marriage service should
read thus; Clcrgyman-WiIl you
take this brown stone front, this
carriage and span, and these dia-
monds for thy welded husband?
Yes. Laughtcr] VIII YOU take
this unpaid milliner's bill, this high
waterfall of foreign hair. these af
fections, accomplishments and fec
bic constitution for thy welded
wife? Loud laughter. Yes
Then, what mammon has joined to-
gcthcr let the next best man run
away with so that the first divorce
court may tear them asundcr.
This dreadful burlesquc on dia-
mond weddings is particularly cut
ting, because it is so very true
The records of our divorce courts
show that the happiness Of marriage
is in the inverse ratio to the splcndor
of the ceremonial. This as u mel
ancholy truth, but it is none the
less truth that strikes the obser-
vat;on of every observer. ..
