KEROSENE LAMPs.-By taking the fol-
lowing precautions ali danger from the
explosion of kerosene oil lamps will be
avoided:
First-Never fill kerosene lamps after
dark, but fill them in the daytime.
SeconG-Never allow lamp TO be
placed ON the mantelpiece, whether the
same has CRATE or a stove fire, as the heat
of the same will cause the oil to be more
infiammable, and more liable to explosion
when lighted.
Third-It is a common practice of cigar
and other factories to have their lamps
hnng on wire from the ceilings; they
should be removed when not in use, as
the heat of the stove ascends toward the
ceiling; the effect being the same as in the
second suggestion.
Fourth-Do not allow the wick to get
baked or crusted; trim it frequently.

which we cheerfully copy:
Capt. J. O. DUrff, who has been so long
connected with the AUdIGnche, is a candi-
date for recollection to the Board of Alder
men. We widely differ with him in the
present contest for Mayor, but we take
pleasure in bearing willing testimony to
Capt. Durff as an efficient Alderman, and
during close intercourse with him for
the past four years, his conduct has been
upright, just, fair and honest, in all his

THE MUNICIPAL CANVASS.
QUE cANp1pAfa roR MAYon.

Editors Appeal: It is charged that NJ.
johnson is an "alien,' and that he took
refuge under the British Lion. Mr.. John
son is consistent member of a party
which has ever defended the rights of
''aiiens'' of property and of churches of
all sects, and which boldly throttled and
crushed the Know Nothing party In '56.
Is the old Federal spirit of '93 to be re-
vived?
1t is also charged that johnson was
never known to do an act of charity for
''a poor, ragged, lousy Confederate sol
der" Mr. Johnson is not Pharisee,
and says but little about his acts of char
ity; but whatever he does in that way Is
always done at his oiUn expense. He never
welded great bank and wound it up for
the good Of the people. So much for these
charges.
But it cannot be said-certainly never
has been said-that Johnson imbibes too
freely, or that ne CANDLES, or that he is
idle, spending much of his time about
whisky chutes or living voluptuously.
When men who live in glass houses throw
stones they must look out for Ybreakers."
AN OLD TAXPAYER.
NIKE PYNF FOR wHARFMAsTER.
Editors Appeal: There is scarcely an
office in the gift of the people for which
some regular candidate has not been NOM
mated, and yet there is not one remem-
bered for which there are not "independ-
ent y candidates whose merits are pressed
by their friends. Among these latter
there is not one more deserving than Mike
Pyne, whose many friends wish him to
be the next Wharfmaster. A more gener-
Gus heart never beat in mans breast than
in MIKE PYNE's. He is ever ready to
share with the needy. He has been sub
jected to reverses, and can sympathize
with those upon whom misfortune has
fallen. But with great energy he is buslly
engaged in retrieving his fortunes, and
has built up brisk trade. Familiar with
boats and boating, and the business of the
river, he Is just the man tor the Office, and
better one cannot be selected. His strict
integrity and sterling business habits will
render him most acceptable as Wharf
master. Let his friends give long pull,
a strong pull, and pull altogether, and
Mike viii enjoy the qualification of being
elected.
CARD FROM wli. BLACK.
Editor appeal: Mr.. Andrew j. Kellar
sees fit, in yesterdays AUdIGRche, to
make assertions which cannot be sus-
tanned. l now assert, without the slight
est dread of truthful contradiction, that l
never sought an interview with Mr.. Kel-
lar, or any other person connected with

Mr.. r. Goode for me, and when I did not

who took me to Jno. Gaston's, where Kel-
lar and Alderman Cartwright were wait
ing, when one of the party remarked,
Z" Let us get to business" Then Col. Kel-
lar said he would like to have the city
printing. This talk of " private and conf
Dental " savors too much of quackery. l

he has nothing against me that would
damage a fly. VIM. BLACK.
