NJ. GANBETTA, in one Of his recent
speeches, having declared that the people
should wait TRANQUILITY for their rights,
and must, II necessary, Swallow toad
every morning" several Of the Paris
journals have hazarded guesses as to the
meaning of the expression. Its origin
goes back to Chamfort. the author, who
relates the following: IN. de Lallay, of
a most gentle nature, but who possessed
q great knowledge Of the world, was ac-
customed to say that man should swal.
low a toad every morning so that he
might meet with nothing more disgusting
during the rest of the day, II he had TO
pass it in society" Evidently the phrase
in question was known to the ex. Dictator.

List OF the Lost on the Lac la Relic.

MILWAUKEE, October 1.-THE follow
ing is q complete list Of the lost by the
sinking Of the Lac la Belle: Il. Freeman,
N. W. Gilbert, P. Wyner, r. II. Lippin-
colt, W. Smith Dunning, Henry Sparks,
Henry Adams, second cook, and man un.
known, who was working his passage.
The inspectors, VIM. Fitzgerald and ThoG.
Humes, in their statement, close as fol-
lows: The vessel was well built Of good
material, and was sound throughout. Her
boilers and machinery were in good con.
dition, and her outfits complete was be-
lieved by US to be one OF the staunched
steamers within our Jurisdiction. She
was easily loaded, drawing but eleven
feet Of water, with three and halt feet
oiside above water. The heavy sea in
which she labored on the night Of her
loss, caused her to spring leak that no
human foresight could have previously
determined or obviated, and she succumb.
ed to a similar influence that has caused
other staunch vessels to founder under
similar circumstances.

wele preparing the batteries and wires
and electrical lamps and prisms he gayo
q little discourse on the pursuit Of science
for the truths sake, vindicating the lnyes,
tigator and claiming for his apparently
aimless labOrs an Importance equally az
great as Impractical work OF the worldly.
He showed there could be no industrial
England or industrial America today
without such labors. Next he spoke Of
the importance OF the work OF the scien-
tide demonStrator, and then turned to his
instruments His lectures, he said, were
to be confined to the exposition Of the
laws oi heat and light. BY the aid Of o
platinum wire and battery he explained
the electrical light which he uses In all
his experiments. Bidding the gas glare
be gone, he caused platinum wire
stretched across the table In front OF him,
and no thicker than a horse. hair, to glow
with an intense brightness and then melt
by electricity, which suflced to demon
strate the principles Of electrical action,
Then substituting his lamp for the circle
oi gas jets Of the hall, he proceeded, by a
series Of rapid and beautiful ex.
periments, to anslyze ray Of
light. Through tiny aperture In a bit
OF tin foil he took the single ray and
showed the process Of combustion and the
laws Of refraction. Then with a prism
he resolved the ray into its competent
fragments, and afterward gave the syn
thesis Of light by those wonderfully bril-.
liant and marvelously simple methods
which have given him q worldwide rep.
utation as the greatest living popular
scientific demonstrator. His facinated
audience cheered him to the echo, and
went away TO hunt up new adjectives
with which 10 praise him.
Prof Tyndall will continue his lectures
here on the evenings of Thursday and
Saturday Of this week, and Monday, Tues.
day, and Friday Of next week.
