"A new inextingulshable light, possessing
some singular features, has been brought out
In England. When placed in water, or thrown
on the sea, it will ignite Immediately and
burn for the space of forty minutes, With so
vivid fame, and so intense brilliancy,
mat photographs may be- taken by 1t, and
small print may be read at distance of sew
sral hundred feet The chemical prepara-
tions contained In the lamp is solid, hard
substance free from danger, and It's appnca-
lions for marine signals are numerous.
The agitation in England, caused by the
Purchas (anti-RitaaIst) judgment Is as great
as ever. The Bishop Of London intimated to
his clergy that the responsibility OF carrying
out the ruling Of that decision Is upon MIN as
one of the inherent burdens Of hls ONCE, and
that the clergy If they accepted his ruling are
free from all responsibility. Beresford Hope
points out that this Is no mora nor less tnan
the doctrine of spassive Observation-Disclosures
tion of personal duty. The Bishop says the
dispute is On matters relatively small"
"A French paper publishes startling re-
port that although the Mont Gents tunnel mas
been pierced and locomotives have passed
through 1t, there is still some doubt as to It's
being opened to travel for some time to come.
The trouble is in the ventilation of the tunnel.
The smoke evolved from the locomotives IS
not driven out. Out Of the three ensine-driV-
e-s who were employed on the trial trip
tnrough the tunnel, two died OF suhocation
and the third was restored to life with great
difficulty. The temperature Of the interior Is
also very. high. The efforts to improve the
ventilation OF the tunnel are continuing, anu
moke-consuming engines have been ordered
from England to remove the difficulty arising
from that cause.
1t is estimated by the internal revenue
bureau, that the amount OF beer consumed IN
each State is equal to the amount produced,
and table showing the number of glasses OF

New Jersey the average amount !s 24S glasses
for every man, woman aud child; in California
1t Is 1s5 glasses; In Pennsylvania, New Hamp-
shire and Nevada, 80 glasses; in Maryland and
Massachusetts, SO glasses; in Missouri, II

"A correspondent at Hampton, Virginia,
writing of early vegetable crops, says: "Early
vegetables are produced in this country In
very large quantities. The crop of peas readl-
ly commanded, In Northern markets, from FIVE
to seven dollars per barrel It was pleasant
to notice on our streets the quick, elastic step
of the farmers, as they returned every morn
ing from the postofice with checks IN their
pockets, Just from Baltimore, Phlad alpha, or
New York, convincing them that their peas
had been sold for six and seven dollars per
barrel. If elastic steps and smiling counte-
nances were seen during the receipts from the
pea CROP one can scarcely describe the
looks of both farmers aud merchants, when
every day hundreds of barrels OF potatoes
were shipped to New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, commanding Sc, ST and So per BAR
rel. The agent OF the Baltimore Line inform
ed YOUR correspondent that 400 barrels, day
after day, were shipped from Old Point by this
line alone. I hear of farmers who realized
from $50 to sl2o from half acres, or slGo to
s24O per acre. This may seem fabulous, but it
Is true"
The Emperor Napoleon appears to have
comfortable time, socially, in England. De-
spite the gossip the Court Journal, Wnich
represents him as silent and moody, stalking
about Chiselhurst in solemn meditation and
actually growing fat on his sorrows, he is now
at q cricket masSh and now at a fire; and
latest of all, running off to London to join
anew the Army and Navy Club. Doubtless he
is not cor .ent, but he certainly puts brave
face on tn. latter, and possibly congratulates
himself that he Is saved from the annoyance
of participation in the events the other side of
the Channel. There the court-martial Is busy
sentencing to death, to the galleys and to i'm
prisonment the captured Communists, and
hunting after those who are yet in hiding.
The Republican committees ore In an inextr..
cable wrangle over the election; and the
Government is afraid to call out the troops for
review until it can find some means of muz-
zling the people, who are sure to shout either
for the Empire or for another insurrection.
Altogether, though the ex-Emperor may not
be the happlest Frenchman in the world, he is
certainly not the most miserable.
