How TO PREVENT KEROSENE ACCIDENTS.
Never fill the lamp when lighted, Trim al
ways by day, putting in fresh oil every morn
ing and removing the charred portions Of the
wick. Avoid exposing the lamp to sudden
drafts, which blow the flames into the reser-
voir Of oil and explode them. Carry them
about as little as possible, and before doing so
lower the wick. Never burn with flame too
low, for this causes smoke and smell. Never
extinguish them by blowing there IS always a
gas In the reservoir of the lamp, and the IN
slant the flame descends and comes In contact
.herewith, explosion follows put them out Dy
covering the wick. IF these simple lnstTue-
lions are attended to, explosion is impossible,
all bad smell avoided, and light obtained
twice as brilliant as gas at halt the cost. 80
says writer.
CHLoRoFoRMING OF Es.-ChorOtOrm is
now extensively used in England, and without
injurious results, to stupely bees SO as to re-
move the honey. For this purr table IS
set about ten feet from the hive, and covered
with cloth. Some choroform (about quar-
ter or a sixth OF an ounce) is then poured into
shallow dish ana covered with wire gauze,
to prevent the bees from falling into 1t. The
hive is then removed from its stand and set
over the ehoroform In about twenty min
utes all the bees will have fallen down on the
table in state of stupefaetion, not one re-
naming in the comb. After removing the
comb, the hive and the bees are restored to
their place, the latter soon recovering without
suffering the slightest inconvenience.

RETURN OF Ex-GovERNoR I

RETURN OF Ex-GovERNoR REY-
NoLps.-By lately arrived steamer
the Hon. Thomas G. Reynolds, OF Mis-
souri,, formerly native Of Charleston,
South Carolina, returned to his home
from Mexico. An interesting incident
occurred soon after the arrival Of
Ex-Governor Reynolds in St. louis
He surrendered to Governor McClug,
Of Missouri, the original great seal Of
the State, which he took with him
when he went to Virginia during the
war. In doing so he states that all
objection he may have had to It's sur
render is removed, because In Novem-
Der last, for the first time, State off,
GERS were chosen in profound peace -
The Governor replies in polite let
ter, in which he says he but expresses
the feelings Of every good citizen in
saying, cit is gratifying to witness not
only the return Of tho old seal to its
original and legitimate place from
which it had unwal rantedly strayed,
but the return of an old and infuen-
tial citizen to his Legitimate duties."

Evangeliz tloa Of the Blacks,

At the session Of the General Assem-
bly, OF the Presbyterian Church in tho
United States, on "Wednesday last, in
Mobile, the Rev. DR.. j. l.. Girardcau,
Of this city, Chairman of the Special
Committee to whom was referred The
overture of several ministers and ruling
elders, asking the Assembly, in view Of
the desirablencss of such action, 10
adopt some definite plan of onera.
tlons among the colored people, and tc
recommend the same to the Presbyte-
ries and Churches in connection with it.,
submitted the following report:
Our Church, through her General As
semblies since tho year 1866, has ex
pressed her kindly feeling for the freed
people, and deprecated their alienation
from her fold. The developments of
Providence, however, have not hitherto
appeared to be sufficiently clear to war
rant the adoption ofany definite scheme
of operations among them designed to
be uniform and general in its applica-
ton. The time would seem to have
arrived for pronouncing such a policy.
Your Committee concur in the onmion
of the petitioners, that 1t is highly de-.
sirable .hat some such action be taken
by this Assembly as is suggested by the
overture. The want OF a recognized
and general plan is tending TO the adop.
ton Of variant and incongruous lines OF
policy in different parts Of our Church.
The result will be, that our relations to
the colored race, and our schemes of
labor among them, will become need
lessly complicated and confused. The
prominent view which has. impressed
l'self on the minds Of the Committee,
and which they respectfully propose for
the confederation of the Assembly, is,
that tho colored people who adhere to
us be allowed a formative organization,
. sort of gradually maturing process to
be arrested at a certain point, until,
under proper training, it is prepared to
pass on towards completion. To be
more explicit, what they need is, for the
present, separate, particular churches,
with their own deacons and elders, and
at the samo time, instruction by an cdu.

War or Peace.

That there are powerful popular Gle.
Dlents in this country who believe that
q war with England would be the best
thing that could happen for the Uni.
ted States is true. Wherefore ? Be-
cause it is believed that such war
would give us the river and the Gulf
OF st. Lawrence as free outlet for
our Western agricultural products,
and all British North America for o
new field of enterprise, and would
give, moreover, such an impulse to
American manufactures as to mako
this country wholly independent of
English goods and able to outsell her
i'll other markets. There are, also,
many men of this warlike school who
believe that it is now with tho United
States and England as it was with
Rome and Carthage, and that this
new conflict for the supremacy must
some day como to tho same conclusion
as tho old ono.
All these elements of hostility to
Eng land, including three or four hun.
dred thousand able.bodied Irish born
and warlike American citizens, are
for pushing tho ultimatum suggested
but not proposed by Senator Sumner.
1}ur on the other hand, through all
the ramiications of American society
tbero arc tho holders of the govern
mont bonds, and bondholders and
banks and merchants and shippers and
property holders generally have
paramount interest in the preservation
of peace with England. They gene
rally believe that war with the Uni.
ted States would eventually be the
destruction of the British empire,
beginning with n revolution in Iro-
land; but they also believe that suoh
war meantime would involve this
country in population and financial
and political chaos. This peace party
contends, likewise, that while peace
with England is indispensable to tho
payment of our national debt, finan-
c'al order and tho development of our
vast internal resources and our ra-
pldly expanding foreign trade, it will
also best serve our "manifost destiny"
idea OF the progressive annexation Of
no'ghDoring territories, North us we'll
Us South.
The administration of General
Grant is with this peace party.
