NEW YORK WORLD.
rEEHE1 WORLD =
FOR
1871.
TV1HE YEAR. 1871 BIDS FAIR TO BE
4 npa of tba most imnOrtant and fruit

YVyHE YEAR 1871 BIDS FAIR TO BE
4 one of the most important and fruit
full in our political history. In it will be
shaped the great issues on which the
Presidential election of 1872 must turn.
1t will be an era of new political energy
IN the South, which, for the first time In
twelve years, comes unfettered into ma
tional canvass; and an era OF confident
hope to the Democratic party every where.
The superannuated issues on which the
Radical party have stood are passing out
of politics, and the laundering ilnbecillty
and pr0higate extravaganza OF General
Grants administration need only to be
faithfully exposed to turn the tide OF pub
lie feeling strongly against it. In this,
the great work of the coming year, The
World will act no secondary part. Its
location in the great focus of national com
merce and intelligence, the freshness and
abundance of its news, and its recognized
position as the leading organ OF the Demo-
cratic party, lay upon it mission and
apostleship which it will discharge with
unfIiuching boldness, vigor, fidelity, and
zAal. 1t will be in constant counsel and
communion with the tried leaders and
sapacious statesmen of the party in all the
States of the Union, cordially cooperating
with them, and they with it, in building
up the party in order and unity; healing
differences, infusing confidence, inviting
and encouraging new proseiytes, and lead
ing on the party as d bod and unbroken
phaianX to the great triumph which
awaits it in 1872
The share allotted to The World in this
combined and disciplined movement of
the Democracy, in their onward march to
victory is the dissemination of political
truth; a work which can be fruitful only
in proportion to the extent Of its circula-
ton. We ask DEMOCRATS everywhere to
aid us in scattering the good seed broad
cast over the whole land, during the period
which is so important in reference to the
coming harvest.
AS A VEHICLE OF NEWS
The World (now in the eleventh year of
its existence) has always held the first
rank among metropolitan journals. It's
news on every topic of interest, political,
commercial, literary, social, domestic, and
foreign is always fresh, abundant, various,
and accurate. comprising the whole circle
of current Intelligence, always rendered
with such promptitude and spirit that the
paper has large and increasing circula-
ton among political opponents for its
superiority in these respects.
AS AN ORGAN OF OPINION
The World is fearless, trenchant, indomita-
BILE; ardent in it's advocacy of sound DEM
ocratic principles. unsparing in its denun-
citation Of political abuses and corruption
and not cbnfning its discussions to mere
politics, it takes wide range, touches
upon a great variety of subjects, and aims
to be q safe guide Of public opinion On all
topics which engage public attention. 1t
gives conspicuous prominence to. trade,
commerce, and finance, and on these topics
invites comparison with any other journal
published at the commercial metropolis.

Arrest Decay,

When q plant or q tree begins to decay It
must needs die. It cannot be revitalized. But
1t Is not 30 with human beings. A human ruin
can DO repaired, strengthened, restored, though
a brown, leaf or q withered blade Of grass can
never be mado green again. In the autumn Of
life, or oven In Its winter, when nature seems
to be giving way under the pressure Of years, It
Is still possible to resard the progress OF decay,
and to lend to age moro than its wontcd vigor.
As o means Of promoting this object, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters 10 unquestlonably the
most potent Of all restorstiyes. It will not
make the old young, but It will prevent, lessen
or soothe the infrmities which are tho usual
Accomplishments Of the decline Of life. For
debility and o lack Of nervous power, from
whatever cause arising, It Is the medicine that
Of all others before the world, best deserves tho
name OF o specific. In purity, In inyigorating
properties, In It's adaptation TO weak stomachs
and feeble organizations, II has no competitor
among the tones Of tho pharmacopeia, nor
among proprietary remedies. Besides Its
strengthening principle, 1t possesses Alternative
and regulating properties OF the highest order,
and as an antf.bllious medicine Is far preferable
to any Of tho preparations containing mercury.
Time has shown that for physical decay, ner-
vous debility, dyspepsia, bilious disorders, and
intermittent fever, Hostetter's Bitters is q rem
edy without q rival. This Is the season Of the
fall Of the leaf; let II remind the old, tho feeble,

How Nitro-Gly lycerine is
Made.

This wonderful explosive was
discovered in lS47, by an Italian
named Soboro, but its practical
application was made by Alfred
Noble, a Swedish engineer. The
process by which it is made is thus
described Every one knows
what glycerine is-a clear, syrnpy
liquid, sweet to the taste, and
somewhat greasy to the touch.
It's scope of employment ranges
from the surgeons dispensary
to the lady's boudoir. Chemists
term it traimotic alcohol, and it
may be derived from fat or tallow
by action of lime and sulphuric
acid. : Its properties are many and
various, but as they have no bear
ing upon the present subject we
shall abstain from noticing them.
If quantity of nitric acid be. add
ed to twice Its weight OF sulphu-
.ric acid, glycerine be poured into
this, and carefully stirred, the
whole being surrounded by freez-
ing mixtures, we obtain that won
derful substance known as nitro
glycerine, which has more than
ten times the explosive force of
gunpowder. 1t forms on the sur
face as an oil of pale yellow color,
lis perfectly inodorous, and has a
sweet, aromatic taste. 1t is poi
sonous, whether taken internally
or absorbed through the skin, and
small doses OF it produce distress
ing headaches. It does not ex-
plode when brought In contact
with fire, and remains unchanged
even when raised to the tempera,
ture of boiling water; but at about
forty degrees Fahrenheit it be-
comes converted into an icy mass,
which merely requires friction to
develop allit explosive qualities.

A SIGNAL-LIGHT FOR, CARS.-A
signal-light, to be attached to the
rear of a train, invented by two
officers of the Little Miami Rail-
road, has lately been tested on
that road. 1t is thus described in
the Railroad Glzette:-sIn the
centre of the roof of the rear car
of the train, over the rear axle, is
placed square lantern, with al
ternate panes of red and white
glass. The lantern is connected,
by means of shaft, with one of
the axlcs in such manner that
eight revolutions of the axle pio-
duce one of the lantern. When
the car stops, he lantern, of course,
ceases to reyolve. Upon each
side of this main. lantern are two
others, also connected with the
axle in such a way that when the
train is moving forward solid
red light is displayed, and. if back
ing, a solid green light. The en-
gineer 5f train coming up in the
rear can thus tell, by observing
these lights, whether the train be-
fore him is moving or at stand
still, and, if moving, in which d.
rection.'
