acid may form malic ether, which being
very volatile escapes from the hilid, inter-
mixes with the atmospheric air IN the
barrel or other containing vessel. when
this combination of circumstances exists,
lighted taper placed at the open
ing of the containing vessel causes an
explosion, and the newspaper reporter, ig-
norant of the chemical principles involved,
or Indifferent in regard to enlightening the
public mind, announces that a barrel of
vinegar has exploded without word OF
rational explanation of fact, about which,
Just as announced, almost every housewife
in the land is incredulous. The reader
NAV ask, if all volatile burning fluids, coal
oil included, are explosive, what shall we
do? Must we utterly reject beautiful and
economical illuminator altogether? We
saw not, if you will use due caution, and
rightly educate your family and employees
in the principles and rules above laid down.
Again. the public authorities should
regulate the rate of volatile burning fluids,
and forbid the sale of those which become
gaseous below a certain temperature.
What that degree of heat shall be we would
leave to the decision of corps of scientitic
chemists, in no way interested in the vend.
ing of these fluids. Every barrel OF coal
oil or other burning fluid exposed to sale
for illuminating purposes should be in"
spected, and persons vending oils that vol
atilize below the legally recognized degree
of heat should be subjected to heavy pen
allies.
For it is a we'll known !ac' that crude
petroleum, as taken from the oil wells and
springs, contains oils of different degrees OF
volatility. In Europe, it is known that the
oils that volatilize at low temperatures, are
not readily saleabie. Hence the better quail
tiles of coal oil are exported, or sold In the
North, and the very volatile, dangerous
and unsaleable oils are sent southwark to
be sold to our impoverished and downs
trodden people.
In the interest of nobody, who has coal
oil, Aurora oil, Oriental oil, camphene, or
any other burning fluid for sale, we earn.
estly urge upon our people to beware OF
humbuggery on this subject, come from
what source it may. Let them, when
practicable, use gas from the gas works.
Let them use only the least volatile OILS
for Illuminating purposes, if use them they
husband that, too, with great canton,
and then only as stationery lights. IL
light is necessary during locomotlon, use
only candles or lamps burning liked oils.

II is evident that the enfranchised ne
groes of Davidson county are by no means
going to sit down contentedly on hookoand-
ladder truck honors or put up with the
empty glory of the prospective 9Th ward
engine. They are going for something
higher, and don't intend to take the cold
shoulder any longer. They are excited
Just now on the question of the Sheritfaity,
and Nelson Walker and Alfred Menifee
are pulling lively strings in that dlree-
ton, each claiming big share of popu-
lar" favor, and each believing himself the
future Sheriff.
To this end, an almost exclusively ne
gro meeting was held at the I'd (colored)
Christian Church, on Gay street, night be-
| fore last. There were only. two whites
present. each of them candidates for jaifer,
prospecting on Individual chances OF sue.
cess in their coming contest. Randall
| Brown. John Cockrell and other equally
| interesting month-pieces were there, and
| the crowd was a hundred strong.
There was considerable feeling MANS
tested against the holding of convention,
Menifee declaring that it was impossible
to secure fair play at any convention that
might be held. 1t appearing that mas
ority of the crowd took this view of the
matter, one of them who had prepared Q
resolution favoring a convention had not
the courage to present it. 4t1yI 4
A resolution by w. A. Summer, calling
for the election of colored man to the
Sherifalty was unanimously adopted. A
committee was then appointed to select a
suitable person for the candidate of the ne
groes of Davidson county, which, after due
deliberation, reported the name of Alfred
Menifee. 1t seems, however, that the friends
of Menifee, though securing a majority o
the committee, were Out~generaled by
Walker, and the meeting at once voted
down the nomination, and finally adjourned
without expressing any decided preference
for either Of the aspirants. The meeting
lasted from seven o'clock until halt pas

camille purposes and its consequent ten
depcy to concentrate here. Hence the rate
for loans on governments will not improb,.
ABLY soon be four per cent. The earnings OF
the RAILWAYS at the same time continue
large and their expenditures are being
economical, the result of which IS that
there is growing confidence felt in the
future of well managed railway properties.
All the conditions efecting the stock
market are favorable to q rise, and down
ward reactions are likely to prove only
transient. The supply of money available
for employment on the Stock Exchange Is
steadily increasing, and the banks are daily
in receipt of remittances from the West
and other points. The large stock houses
and the dealers in government securities
are now offered more money at five per
cent. than they can use by the banks, and
the latter lend freely to borrowers in gen.
eral at six per cent. on miscellaneous col
laterals, at which rate the private bankers
are also large lenders. Owing to the in
adequate demand for call losns, commercial
paper of best grade is in demand at 6(G7
per cent.
