Metals for Enel.

An inventor proposes to substitute
metals for coal as fuel for ocean steam
ers, and has taken out a patent for the
method of carrying out his views, his
object being to obtain q large amount
of steam from given quantity of fuel.
When coal is burnt, and solid coal is
turned into gas, large portion of heat
becomes latent, and is wasted by vola.
tiling the solid. The oxygen in the at
mosphere is gas by reason OF the large
amount OF heat combined with it. When
zinc, iron or maganese are burned, the
resulting oxide is dense solid; little
or no heat Is wasted, as it is not turned
into vapor. In addition to this, the
inventor obtains the cosmical heat
latent in the oxygen of the atmosphere.
and the result is that one portion of
zinc will evaporate more than four
times as much water as one pound of
coal, the advantages of which, on long
sea voyages, is obvious. The zinc or
other metal thus becomes vehicle of
power, much larger than can
be obtained from the same weight or
bulk Of coal, and the oxide of the met
al may subsequently be economically
reduced at any convenient place where
coal is accessible. The following is
the manner in which it is proposed to
carry out the invention: The furnace
of the boiler is divided into two or
more parts !; first, the hearth or CRATE
in which the metal is burned second
ly, a chamber behind the hearth to
collect the oxide. In case of tubular
boilers the heated gas from this cham
ber is made to circulate through the
tubes. The furnace has the bottom
and sides, and sometimes the top also,
of brick, tire-clay, or any other refrac-
tory substance. The air is admitted
over the combustible metal, or by a
blast through the same; in the latter
case pipes or tuyercs are built in the
bottom or sides of the furnace.

How Drinking Causes Apoplexy.

It is the essential nature of all wines
and spirits to send an increased amount
of blood to the brain The first effect
of taking glass of wine or stronger
form of alcohol is to send the blood
there faster than common, hence the
circulation that gives the red face, 1t
increases the activity of the brain, and
it works faster, aud 50 does the tongue.
But the blood goes to the brain faster
than common, it returns faster, and no
special harm results. But suppose
man keeps on drinking, the blood is
sent to the brain so fast, in large guam
titles, that in order to make room for
it the arteries have to enlarge them
selves they increase in size. and in
doing SO they press against the more
yielding and fiaccid veins which carry
the blood out of the brain, and. thus
diminish their size, their pores, the
result being shat the blood is not only
carried to the arteries of the brain
faster than is natural or.healthful, but
it is prevented from leaving it as fast 80
usual; hence double set Of causes OF
death are in operation. A man may
drink enough brandy or other spirits in
q few hours, or even minutes, to bring
on q fatal attack of apoplexy,

The Tern, s..Carpet.BagEer.'

Many of the best Southern men
in the Southern States, says the New
Orleans Picayune, are Northern men
men born in New England-in Mas
sachuetts.
Many Northern men have come to
the South, before and since the val,
to do business and to find homes. And
those who come with such views, re-
epectable and we'll behaved, will sci.
dom fail to be appreciated and to re-
ceive the welcome and the position to
which they are entitled. The people
of the South are desirous of having as
many settlers as possible of this de-
scription. Men Of this character are
not carpet-baggers, however small
their luggage or empty their purses.
They are q desirable element.
The term carpet et-bagger is applicable
to the needs demagogue whose stock
in trade consists of the number of COL
ored voters he can persuade that the
Southern white men are their relent-
less enemies and oppressors, and whose
political status and PERSONAL fortunes
depend upon his success in banding
them upon tke basis of injurious false
hoods, to use for his own official hon.

blance of legal forms and backed BY

A POOR seamstress was arrested the
other day in Brooklyn, N. Y, on a
charge Of stealing garments which she
had taken home to sew. Upon her
examination it appeared that she was
employed by certain Miss Pillsbury,
of New York City, who paid her II
cents for making four pairs of panta-
looms, 80 cents for making twelve pairs
of drawers, and 25 cents for making
six shirts. She did not finish the pam
falcons as soon as she agreed to, and
the gentle Pillsbury refused to pay
her; whereupon she pawned the arti-
cles to keep her family from starving.
As she could not have belonged to the
:rammany ring, che was sent to Jail for
three months.
