A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY of consid-
cradle Importance if true-and it is
told with so much circumstantial-
ness of detail that it is difficult to
believe it without foundations
communicated in q letter from an A
merican in Paris to a chemist in this
country, who has published it. The
story is, in brief, that M. Lebarre,
chemist of the silk works of Foedre
Brothers, Lyons, succeeded after a
series of experiments suggested by
the Investigations Of Professor Gra-
ham, of the British Mint, into the
properties of hydrogen, in resolving
that gas, hitherto supposed to be a
simple element, into two gases. One
of these was absorbed in the com
bustion of pallSdium in vacuo, leav-
ing gas that would no longer burn,
but like nitrogen, extinguish flame,
and had no color, taste, or odor. Its
levity is so great that when collected
IN a hollow copper globe about
eighteen inches in diameter and the
Twelfth of an inch thick, it carried the
globe rapidly to the dome of the Par
is Academy of Science building. NJ.
Lebarre calls the new gas "abaron." "
1t has about nine times the elevating
power of pure hydrogen, and about
twenty-five times that of ordinary il
Eliminating gas, and can be prepared
on large scale at about double the
cost Of pure hydrogen. With its use
balloons can be made of thin sheet
iron and leakages thus effectually
prevented. The discovery is of the
utmost consequence on scientific
grounds, as it suggests the possibil-
| ity of other supposed elements" be-
ing complex instead Of simple, and
that our present ideas of elementary
principles may be as erroneous as
those of the primers Of our child
hoods study, where 'the four ele-
ments" were set down as ''earth, air,
fire, and water" Mr.. Lebarre's pa
per is said to have been read before
the Paris Academy of Science, June
18th, in secret session and its publi-
cation postponed until further lnves-
tigation is made.

THE MoNEYLEss MAN.


Here is beautiful piece of poetry. 1t We
composed years ago by Henry Stanton, c
Naysyile, Ky. Afterwards We heard All
Burnett recite it, and it caused our eyes Il
noisten.- Oss FTresiae Friend.l
Is there no secret place on the face of thr
earth,
Where charity dweIleth, where virtue ha.
birth?
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness viii
heave,
And the poor and wretched shall ask and re
ceieveT
Is there no place on earth where knock from
the poor
VIII bring kind angel to open the door?
Ahi search the wide world wherever you car
There is no open door for the moneyle.s man
Go look at yonIhalls where the chandelier light
Drives OF with its spiendor the darkness o.
night,
Where the rich hanging velvet in shadOwy
fold,
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimming,
of gold,
And the mirrors Of silver take up and renew
In long lighted vistas the wildering view;
Go there if your patches, and find if you can,
a welcoming smile for monsyless man.
Go look in yon church with the clOud-reaching
spire,
Which gives back to the sun his same look OF
red fire,
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous
within,
And the walls seem as pure as soul without
sin: HH
Go down the long aisle see The rich and the
great, @ aH
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly
estate;
Walk down in your patches and fiud, il you
Who opens a pew to a moneyless man.
Go look to yon Judge in dark flowing gown,
With the scales wherein law weighUth quietly
down, a 44a t,~
Where he frowns on the weak and smiles on
the strong,
And Furnishes right while he justifes wrong;
Where jurors their lips on the bible have laid,
To render verdict they have already made.
Go there in the court room and find, if you
can,
Any law for the causc Of 8. .mOneyless man.

Where, safe from the hands OF the starving
and poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore.
Walk up to the counter-ah, there you may
stay
Till your limbs grow old and your hair turns
gray -'''
And you'll find at the bank not one of the
clan
With money TO lend to a moneyless man.
Then go to yon hovel-no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered so long for her
bread
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death
frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty lost
Then turn in your agony upward to God,
And bless, while it smites you, the Christening
And you'll find, at the end of our life's little
span,
There's welcome above for the moneyless

Covering of Back Paw Settled.

Covering of Back Pay" Settled.
The Treasury Department has
printed a book of appropriations
made by the last Congress, and has
classified all appropriations which
the department regards as perma-
nent, and as indefinite appropria-
tions. Under these heads it places
salaries of Senators aud Represen-
tatives, and as this arrangement is
published for the guidance Of all Of
ficers ofthe department, it settles the
question Of back pay reverting to the
Treasury, under the law regulating
unexpended balances. so far as the
Treasury can determine it, The pub
lication Of this book is the first on
cial decision by the department that
the appropriation for salaries OF
members of Congress are such as are
termed indefinite, and by law unex-
pended barances of indefinite ap-
propriations do not revert to the
Treasury. A number Of letters has
been received Of late at the office Of
the Sergeant-at Arms Of the House
of Representatives from members,
directing that in future monthly
drafts for their pay be computed at
the old rates, Some who began By
receiving the new rate have ordered
this change.

A RemarkahIa scena.

The following incident recently
occurred in a Connecticut court
room. Two brothers, who for year:
had been on unfriendly terms, al
length came to blows, and each com
planned to a justice. Beth were
found guilty of breach of the peace
and both appealed. In the Superior
Court one was found guilty, and the
jury disagreed about the other. The
Judge talked with them both in q
most serious manner, showing them
how both were to blame, and what
great folly it was for them to indulge
in such disputes, and then to go to
law about them. Then he appealed
to them both to be friends hereafter,
and turning to one, he put the ques-
tion very solemnly, as in a marriage
service, "You. -, do promise on
your part that you will be friends
with your brother in future?" The
response came ringing out, 81 will.
Then to the other brother the judge
put the question, You -, do
promise, etc.," to which came an
equally prompt 81 will" "Then
shake hands," said the judge, and as
they did so there was not q dry eye
in the room. One Of the brothers
sobbed out, SPY the blessing God l
will try and live peaceably with my
brother" The other signilied the
other signifed the same. "Then," +"
said the judge, addressing the one
who had been found gnilty, 81 i'm

of the court, one dollar, and I dis
charge you BOTH Ifjudges, and
lawyers also, would more often use
their influence to conciliate opposing
parties, the world would soon be
much the better for it. But unfor-
tunately most lawyers feel that they
cannot afford to be eacemakers.

Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that tits
kept fully up to its high standard;
and tits the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
or FADED HAZE to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptiOns
and dandrufI and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
win create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as. it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glosAy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
