EXERCISES AT THE FIRST BAP-
TES'E CHURCH.
RriIIianI entertainment.

The exercises Of the Sabbath School
pupils Of the First Baptist Church last
night, the proceeds of which are to be
given to the poorer children of the school,
was one of the most enjoyable occasions OF
the season. The house was perfectly
janmed, and We noticed that the audience
was composed of the most select and ap-
preciative people of the city. The music
the recitations and the singing was each
and all that the most gifted in acoustics
could desire, or the most critical taste ex-
pect or exact. The Church has cause TO
be proud of her Sabbath School, and the
School has much cause to be proud of the
teachers and influences which develop
such purity Of feeling and exalted moral
worth as was demonstrated last night
The tableaux were surprisingly fine, chaste,
beautiful, elegant, classical, and withal,
true to nature. The following was the or
der of exercises, and seldom, if ever, has
programme been more completely or fully
carried out:

10. Song-Gipsy Countess.
90 Tableau and Song" Comm thro the

81. Tableaux-Faith.

Had we space we would particularize anC
individualize upon the entertainment a
length, and mention each part as it de
serves to be. As it is, we can only say
God bless the Sabbath schools and the pu
pills. Always with them may

Nj Howard T'ilden exhibited last night
at the Maxwell House, to many of our
curious citizens machine recently in
vented by him, which, by automatic nc
ton, produces gas from water, sulphuric
acid and iron filings, and applies it to pur-
poses of illumination. The principle is
older than the Oldest inhabitant, but the
machine for its application is new, aid all
who witnessed its operation were satisfied
with its complete success. 1t furnishes a

to furnish any number of burners-is ad-
apted alike to town and country-and is
entirely safe from explosion, or other
danger. We look upon the invention as

We saw yesterday, at the Office Of Jewell

vention of great merit. 1t is an improved
guage, which viii render it impossible for
an engineer to violate the law in reference
to running ut an increased pressure of
steam over and above what the law permits.
BY this invention, should the engineer viO-
ldlt Tue law, ne CduuOL escape lut EtSDOD-
sibility, as the guage will exhibit to the In
spector the fact that he has done so, and
how often during the trip. This guage can
be put up, if necessary, in the cabin, so
that all passengers can see for themselves
the violation of the law, and it should be
their duty to report it promptly to the
nearest Inspector. If this rule is adopted,
we predict fewer explosions and less racing
on our rivers, and a consequent decrease in
the destruction of life and property This
invention is simple, and will add very little
to the cost of the guage.
