As coal oil fluid is killing its victims con.
stautly, anything which will aver. the dan.
ger should be made known. An exchange
sensibly remarks;
"Thc explosion is caused by neglectng
to cut off the charred portion Of the wick
after the lamp is filled. Observation will
show that in few days use the wick be
comes charcoal in its composition for an
inch below the top Of the tube containing it,
and after the lamp has burned Il short time,
the heated tube fires all the charred portion
of the wick inside, and that sets the oil on
fire below. This may be prevented BY cut
ting off a sufficient portion Of the chsrred
| wick each day after using the lamp"

A Radical contemporary assures the pub
lie that hereafter whiskey must pay tribute
or cease to be manufactured-that under
Grant there will be no corrupt combinations
against honest officials. This sort of gas.
conade may be relief to those who in.
dulge in it. and satisfaction to others who
have only malice toward johnson and ohse
uuiousness 10 Grant, but thinking men will
wonder what magic power there is in Grant
to eradicate from the hearts of men their
cupidity. 1t would probably detract con.
siderably from the reputation Of Mr.. John.
son, and add something to the character of
those who villify him, if they would conde
scend to state some facts in connection with
Mr.. Johnsons personal responsibility for
revenue frauds, instead of indulging in such
Wholesale and meaningless praise of Grant,
and such silly and yapid denunciation Of
johnson. If history shall ascrlbe to Grant
as much honesty of purpose as to Mr..
Johnson, and half as much ability, his mil
itary record will shed very dim halo Of
glory around his memory in comparison. 49,
We are willing, as is the whole country, to
concede to Gems Grant desire to suppress
frauds, but when they form the woof of our
revenue laws, and enter largely into all
the ramifcations OF government service,
nobody who pretends to use brains in
weighing his merits as a man, or bis eapa'
biities as an executive, will undertake to
say he will change the natural course Of
things. During the time that the tax on
whiskey was 50 per gallon, the law itself
was the parent of much corruption, which
should be put at the door Of Radical Con,
