AN INEXTINGUIsHABLE LAMP.-Much
interest has been excited in vnaritime circles
by thsj1yenti6n q fan hextinguishable4 and
selfigaiting signal lamp, which is likely to
be of great practical value under many cir
cumstances. Its peculiarities are that it

new lamp consists of a cylindrical vessel
of tin, with conical point, and provided be-

vessels is to be filled entirely with fragments
of phosphidc of calcium. and the tnbe solder
ed up air-tight, sozthat, the. preparation can
be kept for many years without change.
When the lamp is to Be used, the tip of the

Mr.. Greeley on the Financial Situation

Whatever may be thought of the proprie
ty of Mr.: Greeley going round the country
making speeches while he is o candidate fol
President of. the United States no one car
say truly that he does not speak well. In
this he has an advantage over Gen. Grant
if any advantage is to be derived from it
He seems to improve too. as he goes along.
His speeches which we published yesterday
delivered at Cincinnati and in Kentucky
are clear, logical and, for the most part, show
sound views of the financial and political
situation of the country. While we do not
take any partisan side in the Presidential
campaign we spare 10 expense in laying before
the people the views of all sides, and partic-
eularly Of the candidates and leading men Of
the country, leaving the public to decide the
merit of what is said and the issues. Hence
we had telegraphed nearly. three columns Of
closely printed matter.o Of the sayings and
doings Of Mr.. Greeley IN the West and pub:
lished them yesterday, as we publish, in fact,
from day to day the speeches and movements
of all parties in every portion of the repub-
lie. The two most prominent topics Mr:
Greely ably discussed in Cincinnati and Ken
lucky were the situation in the South and
the financial condition and,prospects Of the
country. On tho frst-amnesty to the
Southerner, harmony and fraternity between
the north andsouth and other questions bear
ing upon reform in the Southern. States
few people will differ except the scheming
and unappeasable radical politicians, On
the latter Mr.. Greeley seems to have become
much more practical and less dogma6c' than
he used to be. Always Sa favor Of specie
payments-and acknowledging that.at one
time he believed in and:nlged an,immediate
resumption-he now confesses that he sees
difficulties in the way. and that these difi-
cultics lie in the apprehensions, well founded
or not, of the business community. He ex.
pressed hisdisapproval Of the continued in
reference with business by the action of the
government, OF, rather, by the action of the
Secretary ofthe Treasury; and, while he did
mot pretend to decide what is best to be done
in the financial crises periodically occurring
in Wallstreet, he concluded that business men
and interests should take care of themselves
without direct government interference. He
thinks the country will find a remedy for cx-
isting evils when the people are prepared for
it. On the whole, these late views of Mr..
Greeley on financial matters are more prac-
tical and considerate than it was supposed
he entertained. Whatever may be the re.
suit of the Presidential contest such disepss
sions cannot but hare q good effect. for tIieF

THE HERMIT OF THE SIERRAs.
strange looking individual might have been
seen around our streets for the past two
days with flowing hair, waving like the fair
locks of Ossian on the evening breeze. Ma
nv persons ask who this strange gentleman
is. After diligeut inquiry we find that this
strange being is hermit and lives in the
Sierras, and only visits the busy haunts Of
mankind when he wapts ammunition. Ho
revels in the high sounding name of Ian.
dalphion de Burgh, and is, we believe, OF
Norman extraction. He is mighty hunt
err and is said to have cleaned grizzly out
in a rough-and- d-tumble fight. He is not a
large man, but is said to be second COL
Bowie. He can speak four different. Ian.
guages, besides having number Indian
dialects about his clothes, done up in parcels
to suit customers in the bush; can leave his
mark at 600 yards, and is always ready tor
scratch. scramble or skirmish with the
white, black or red inhabitants Of the world
should they encroach upon his rights or OBJ
trude upon his privacy We watched him yes
terday as he walked along the street. His
long red hair was hanging in natural ring
let's over his shoulders, and his hat looked
as if it had belonged to the age of stone
in fact, his whole appearance denoted the
man of antiquity. For years the hunters oi
the Serras have endeavored to penetrate hi:
secret but in vain. His hut in the
mountains is said not only to be dec
Grated with CHASTITY looking skulls, but
his robe when in his native wilds is said tt
be decked with the scalp locks ofthe noble
rcd man. This strange being visits tins
city every year. and by his makeup draws
| attention of all who behold him.
