a Ride TO the Watering Places

The present managers of the Mobile and
Texas railroad have well earned the thanks
of the public for the splendid facilities af
fOrded to visit the seaside watering places
and all points between this city and Mobile.
There are three trains day Except san
day, when there are twO), composed Of new
and spacious cars; the track is one of the
best in the country and the time fast As a
general thing, five or six passenger cars are
put on train, and these are comfortably
filled with excursionists. Especially on
Saturday nights and Sunday mornings do
the people turn out in great numbers to take
their wives and little ones out for country
air and sea breezes.
Mr.. Bayley has put the fare down to two
cents and half mile, which is as cheap as
a reasonable man can ask for. Trip tickets
in quantities of ten OF more are sold at that
rate, good until used.
The people of New Orleans could not af-
ford to dispense with this excellent road for
double the price it has cost.

SOUTHERN MUTUAL GASLIGHT COM
PANY.

The Experiment of Water and Oil Gas.
A multitude of interested parties as
sembled last evening to witness a demon
stration of the virtues of gas made from
crude petroleum and water combined. With
out going into any scientific or learned ex-
PLANTATION, it sufices to say that the expert
ment was complete success, and it was
proved that gas of proper Illuminating quail
tiles could be made from crude petroleum
at cost Of eighty-fve cents a thousand,
where it was impossible to manufacture it
from coal at less cost than 81 IS a thou
sand, or more The process may be de-
scribed as follows:
Into the retOrt, which is of the same size
usually seen in gas works. water trickles
through a syphOn, which, consisting of by
drOgen and oxygen, the hydrogen is sepa-
rated and passes out, being eliminated by
the supeTheated steam passing over red hot
Goals within the TetOrt, and with the by
drOgen, when gas is desired, is mingled the
carbon derived from a similar distillatiOn of
coal oil, both making the ordinary carbu-
retted hydrogen gas. The gas is composed
Of One-fOurth hydrogen and three-fOurths
carbon. Last evening the carbon was
given out from petroleum, which passed in
drops from the receptacle through a syphOn
into pipe, which conveyed it into an Ordi-
nary gas retOrt, divided into six chambers
or divisions, running lengthwise and being
mingled with the deCOmpOsed steam from
water which passes over cherry red coke,
produced the gas before the eyes of the
spectators and winning their admiration
There is not as much trouble about this
getting of gas as from coal. 1t is cheaper.
There is no danger either of fire or acct
dent and there is no doubt that the expert
ment is success. a semi-circle of lights
shOne with great briIliancy in the EKpOsi-
ton building, where they were touched up.
Gas being carburetted hydrogen, it is nee
essary TO have the carbon to distribute its
illuminating qualities while it is equally re-
quisite to have the hydrogen, as it gives a
certain electricity to the fIme.
The experiment last night was a COM
Plete success, and crowds admitted this
method the lawful successor of coal gas.
The works OF the company may be seen
at the Exposition building, any day, and
the process duly examined There is no
doubt that this new manufacture is highly
interesting, and destined in the future to
work great changes in the production OF
Hight.

This fashionable seaside resort at Missis-

with all the appointments in smooth run

for landlords, gives his close personal at

splendid, and the little truck plies regu-
larly between the hotel and bath houses.

New Orleans and the Mobile Railroad.

| We" anu the l1OullC AlalAEDau
A writer in The Pieayltne pours hot sho
into the management Of the Mobile railroad
in general, and Mr. Fitch, the genera
passenger agent in particular, because he
tthe writer did not get to the Canal street
depot before the train started one morning
bnt happened to overtake it while it was
halting at Jackson square, and had to pay
full rates to the conductor for an excursion
ticket to some pont on the road, which can
only be procured at half rates from the
! Camp street Office or a station agent.
The advertisements have always i'm
pressed upon the public the idea that ex-
cursiOn tickets can be obtained only at the
stations and Offices. Under the manage
| ment Of Mr.. Kendrick, the first general
| superintendent, the same regulations were
III force, and those who depended on the
| conductor for such tickets ascertained that
| they could not be had of that functionary.
Mr.. Fitch, the general passenger agent,
does not fix the rate of fare, nor regulate
the sale of tickets. That is done by the
superintendent, Mr.. Bayley, who follows
the almost universal custom of charging
more for tickets sold by the conductors
than when sold at the stations The writer
really has no cause of complaint against
Mr.. Fitch on this score.
He complains that Pascagoula, seventeen
miles beyond Ocean Springs, is shut out
from tho benefits of the coast accommoda-
ton train. This is not a discrimination
against Pascagoula, because it is imprac-
ticable to run the train so far as that point
and accommodate the business men by
bringing them into New Orleans at an early
hour IN the morning. This train leaves
Ocean Springs at six O'Clock in the morn
ing, which is about as early as passengers
want to take the cars, while if it left Pas
cagoula it would start an hour earlier, thus
compelling passengers to get up before day
break, which but few would be likely to
do, while they can get into the city on the
Mobile train about P. NJ.
The Mobile railroad management de
serves credit for reducing fares and run
ming trains to accommodate the public, and |
the road profits by that liberahty and dis
position to extend every reasonable facility |
to the travelling public. When the line of |
road is peOpled by hundred residents |
where there is now but one, a still greater
reduction Offare, and more frequent run
ming Of trains will be practicable and the
railroad will then be not only seIfsustain-
ing, but dividend-paying institution
Under the present arrangement an i'm
petus has been given to building resi-
dences along the line of the road and
in time public attention will be directed to
the advantage of permanent homes in the
healthy localities between Pearl river and
Ocean springs, thus enabling our merchants
to do business in the city and enjoy the lux
ury of "a country home, as business men in
cities do.

The selection of the Academy of Music, in
which to hold the sessions of the Liberal
convention, is excellent, the hot weather
considered. 1t is central, and easily reached
by the numerous lines of street railroads ::
but above even this consideration is the
fact that its patent steam-blower"' will
keep even the excited orators COOL no mat
ter how highly or infammably charged
they may be. As the small bills say: RE
freshing currents of refrigerated air will be
deliciOusly waited to all parts of this ele-
giant temple Of the muses."
The removal of headquarters of the State
Liberal Committee, where board for dele
gates has been reduced to three dollars per.
day, is also an excellent idea. Here the
leaders Of the party would naturally gather,
and that proper accommodations should be
provided for their consultations and accom-
mediation is but proper.
Judging by the expressions we have
heard from the delegates already here, we
predict a short and harmonious session for
the convention. We hope there will be no
reason to change this opinion.

pOned Applying at headquarters on Ca

bit of Last Ditch pleasantly, but it can
do no harm. The people will turn out, de-
spite all opposition, because their hearts are
in the good cause. To the rumormOngers
we would suggest that over-anxiety defeats
