A DESIRABLE INvENTIoN--Dr W. Leigh
Burton, of Richmond, Va, has just been
awarded patent at Washington for an inn
proved electro cheating apparatus invented by
MN. The primary object of this device is to
afford safe, reliable and economical method
OF heating railway passenger cars. The heat
is evolved by electrical currents, and radiated
from metallic plates. The principle can also
be applied to heating residences, public bull
dlngs, ETC., and, it is stated, several eminent
scientific gentlemen have expressed the belief
that 1t will accomplish the results desired.
Reports of an astonishing reaction among
the negroes of North Carolina, in favor of the
Democratic party, are current in exchanges
from that State A Newbern letter saws p
Certainly, if the pending reaction progresses
in the future, as it has for several weeks past,
by the time the Presidential election-day ar
rives the Radical party in the South will be
thoroughly and hopelessly demoraliZed. 1t
does appear significant and almost retributiye
that the poor, ignorant, debased and penniless
negroes, dupes of the Radicals, should now
be turning, by thousands upon and helping
to crush the life out of the party that gave
them political power; against the protests and
entreaties OF all that is intelligent, elevated
moral, and wealthy in the South"
The National Inte1gigencer forcibly remarks
the farmer is told that times are not so bad
when he can command So bushel for wheat
and $1.20 for corn, and other things in pro-
portion. But the question for the farmer is
not SO much what is the nominal price of his
produce, but what is its purchasing power
lie cannot buy as much with his So as he
could formerly with 81, and he finds himself
at the close of the year with less money in
fact, though, perhaps, more in name, than he
did before the era of greenbacks. The paper
dollar, til ough worth less than seventy cents,
has disturbed all the values of the country;
and the brickmaker, who earns So day,
finds it harder work to feed and clothe his
family than he did when his wages were not
quite so high-sounding, but more real"
A German journal gives the following dia-
logue between twos sneak-thieves in Berlin:
Peter-"Well, things have got so that there
is no trusting anybody. Now, the other day
I gets into house and there's never soul at
home. goes into the first story and finds a
nCuD Vi UuG tuluR-ppOOlD, ClOtup, I'LL L
makes 'em into bundle, and puts EN- conve-
nient to carry. Then goes up stairs to in
spectionate around o bit, and comes down and
finds some scallawag has come in through my
window and got off with it," FranZ-"Wel,
that is id dishonest. Folks are getting too
mean for anything now"
Revolution and WARP What is Radical
ism itself but revolution and warp when
did it ever respect either the Constitution or
any Departmental the Government not under
its own control? When did it ever refuse to
''seize the sword to preserve its party powerS
To-day, it is governing ten States with
standing army, in defiance of the Executive
Department, in defiance of the Judiciary De-
partment, in defiance of the Constitution, and
in defiance of every rule of government or of
law ever recognized by free nationl And
this Radicalism fears the right oftrial by jury,
the authority of the courts, the freedom of the
ballot-box, the equality of the States, the fra
ternity of the people, and thepeace OF the Re-
public can only be established by revolution
and war;! aut
Mr.. John Tory, of Manchester, N. j., has
seven acres of land planted with cranberries.
In 1864, the planting his bog cost $4,000,
and the cost of cultivation, &c. came to 81 )

was in 1855, when he gathered six barrels,
which sold for $5878. In 1866 the crop net
ted $500; in 1867 the value of the crop was
$1,000, and in 1868 it will net $4,000; so that
up to the present there has been profit OF
about $4,000. The bog will not be i'll full
bearing before the seventh year.

In a consideration Of the question of inter
national coinage, interesting facts concerning
populations and the style of money used are
developed The pound is used by England
having 30,000,000 population; the franc by
France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland, hay
ing 7O,OO0,0OO; the dollar by the United
States, having 100000: the form by
Austria, 37000,000 the thaler by Germany
and Prussia, Sd, 100000; and the rouble by
European Russia, having 59,000,000. Th'
franc, therefore, prevails among the larges
number of persons.
