:. EgzsQraaS BAD GAs.-The injurious
enectx0l Gas Of en- inferior quality. es,
peciallJ that whiph sis rich in gnlphur
oompounds. is not generally realized. Id
most cases, 1t is simply regarded as an
Inconvenience. and dspossihly in some in
stances as injurious to the eyes; but
these are not by any means itH most
harmful effects. In the evidence taken
in England before parliamentary COM
mittee engaged in investigating the qua
lity of the London gas, facts were given
to show its deleter;ous effects upon silk
and other goods. One witness, from the
well.known establishment OF Howell &c
James, in Regent street, testified that
during the winter months, when much
gas was burned, it destroyed some of the
more delicate coiors used in dycing silk
With regard to metal goods, he stated
that the gas deposits thin film upon
them, and unless this is removed every
day, it eats into tho metal, 30 that the
article must be regilded. This neoessi-
tntes the use of air-tight cases for such
goods. A Regent street boot maker gave
evidence as to the effects Of gas -combus-
tion products on leather. which he had
found perfectly rotten, after having been
exposed for period. The witness cx-
hibited boots 80 acted on to tho commit
tee. The sulphuric acid, he said. could
be tasted on applying the tongue to the
leather. He gave two inches out of one
pair Of boots to DR.. Letheby for analy-
sis. and his report was, that the piece OF
leather contained ten grains OF CONNER
cial oil OF vitrol. He had also teen
wood Which had been under tho action
OF gas for fifteen years. It was so rotten
that it could be picked to pieces with the
fpger-nail. He believed gas exertcd q
deleterious influence on pictures, the
back part of the cunvns being rotten.
Now, while this produces such effects
upon these substances, it cannot be
otherwise than Injurious to the tissues OF
the human body. A drop of sulphuric
acid upon the hand will instantly disor.
ganizo the flesh. What must be the
elect upon tho more delicate tissues OF
the lungs of constant inhalation Of this
acid? Good gas is not only conye
nience, but an absolute. necessity, and
inspections of its quality. not only illu-
minating. power, but purity, should he
insisted upon and enforced by heavy
penalties.-1he american Manufacturer

BLIND CONFEDERATE HERO. Gene

known in the West. He is q Kentuckiap,
and has been fami!;arly called "Stove-
pipe johnson" from little incident in
the late war, the particulars Of which VIC
extract from the Galveston Ne,os:
During the year 1852 he captured the
town OF Newberg, Indiana, garrisoned
by 400 men, he having with him at the
time but thirty. The manner was novel.
lie placed stove-pipes upon wagon
wheels, and planted these sham cannon
on one side Of the river, and commanded
a surrender. The Federals, supposipo
that they would be torn to pieces by these
wide-mouthed monsters, surrendered,
and marched out and paroled."
The Baltimore Gazette adds:
"We have heard OF Quaker guns at
Manassas and near Washington doing
efficient service, but this occurrence is
new to us. General Johnson was after.
ward severely wounded. For a time it
was reported that he was dead, and ho
had an opportunity afforded to but few
men-that Of reading his own obituary
notices. When he recovered he was
blind. He has since devoted himself to
the aid of his fellows in misfortune. His
last venture is, We believe novel one.
he proposes to publish paper in raised
letters for the blind. He testifies from
experience that none but those who
grope their way in utter darkness can
know how much real pleasure such a pa.
per would afford. General johnson re-
sides OF Burnct, Texas, and is seeking
aid for this enterprise"

NIAGARA FAILS DRf fsoaA 0xx-Ths
7winter Of l848- Asd- been iintsaseaS. cold.
apd the fce fornaSd on Lake Erie vss
very 9hiok. Thisfwas loossueds aronnd
the shores by The warm days .of early
spring. During the day, stiff Eestarly
wind moved the Nhole Geld up the lake.
About sun-down, the wind chopped sud.
denly around aud blew gale from the
West. This brought the vast tract OF
Ice down again with such tremendous
force that it filled tho neck of the lake
and the outlet, 90 that the outflow OF
the water was very greatly impeded. OF
course. it only needed very short space
OF time for the falls to drain off the
water below Black Rock. The conse-
quepce was that, when we arose in the
morning at niagara, we found that our
river was nearly half gone. The Ameri-
can channel had dwindled to respeota-
ble creek. The British channel looked
as though it had been smitten with a
quick consumption and was fast passing
away. Far up from the head of Goat
Island, and out into the Canadian ra-
plds. the water was gone, as it was also
from the lower end of that island, out
beyond the tower. The rocks were bare,
black and forbidding. The roar of
Niagara had subsidized almost to moan.
The scene was desolate, aud but for it's
novelty and the certainty that it would
change before many hours, would have
been gloomy and saddening. Every
person who has visited Niagara will re-.
member beautiful jet of water which
shoots up ont Of the water about forty
rods South of the outer Sister in the
great rapids, called, with singular con
tradiction of terms, the ''Leaping Rock" "
The writer drove buggy from near tue
head OF Cont Island out to u point above
and near to that Jet. With q log cart
and four horses, lie had drawn from the
outside of the outer island stick OF
timber, hewed, twelve inches square and
forty feet long. From the top of the
middle island was drawn n still larger
stick, hewed on one side, and sixty feet
long. There are few places on tho globe
where person would be less likely to 20
numbering than in the rapids of Niagara,
just above the brink of the Uorse.sho oe
foil ALI the people of the neighborhood
were abroad exploring reoesses and cavi.
ties that had never before been exposed
to mortal eyes. The writer went some
distance up the shore OF the river. Large
fields at the muddy bottom lay bare.
This singular syncope of the waters
lasted all the day, and night closed owe,
the strange scene. But in the morning
the river was restored in all its strength
beauty and majesty, and we were glad tc
welcome it's swelling tide once more.
