A DISCOVERY.

A rather astonishing bit ofcheml-
cal news appears in Paris letter to
the Turf, Field and Farm. 1t de-
scribes discovery related at Sc
cret session of the Paris Academy of
Science. June Is. This discovery
is that hydrogen, hitherto consider
ed an element, is in reality combi-
nation of two elements, one of which
is nine times as light as hydrogen
and twenty five times as light as or
dinary Illuminating gas. The new
element is called abaron, meaning
weightless. 1t will not burn, eX-
tinguishes flame, is without odor,
taste, or color. The discover Is
NJ. Lebarre, well-known French
chemist, and his discovery was not
an accident, but the result of series
of successful experiments. The in
fuence of the discovery,s should it be
substantiated, upon ballooning will
be manifest. The tremendous lift
ing power of abaron will render pos
sible the employment of metallic
balloons, capable of resisting all
strains and shocks, and also of pre-
venting the escape of the gas by ex
osmesis.

CLOSE OF THE EVANGELICAL ALL
ANCE.

The Evangelical Alliance, which
happily came upon the stage in New
York just in time to divert public at
tention from the financial panic, clos
ed its session on Saturday. 1t was
in all respects remarkable success,
and gave to the world the best evil
dence which has been furnished by
any occurrence of recent years that
Professionalism is growing in zeal. in
liberality, and that true broad Chris
tian spirit which overlooks the little
boundaries of sectarianism and
makes Methodist, Episeopalians,
Baptists, Presbyterians, and all the
evangelical denominations brethren
in q common cause. 1t had been
feared that the postponement of the
meeting of the Alliance in 1870, by
reason of the great war of that per-
iod, might so far weaken the bonds
of harmony between the churches as
to detract somewhat from the num-
bers and unity of the New York
meeting. But no such result has
been realized. The Conference not
only embraced representatives from
all Evangelical churches in all Chris
tendon, but those representatives
were the ablest and most noted di-
vines, the very highest type of men
now engaged in the work of the Cos
pei. The unity OF feeling through
out the week was remarkable. Meet
ings were held in Steinway Hall and
several of the leading churches, and
in each case the size of the audience
was limited only by the capacity of
the building. The clannish sectari-
anism which in ordinary times keeps
the various churches apart. was set
aside. and Methodists, Baptists and
even the dignitaries of the Church
of England met at the communion
table of a Presbyterian congrega-
tion. An event like this cannot fail
to strengthen the cause of Protes-
tant religion and set an example OF
peace and good will which will be
of eminent value to the Christian
world. From New York the Ali
ance goes in a body to Washington
and Philadelphia, the foreign mem
bers being desirous Of seeing as
much asposible OF thiscouutry. The
time an d place of the next meeting
of the Alliance are not at the present
writing anpouced.

The Graphic people are still stand
ing by their guns in the matter OF
the transocean voyage. They pro-
fess that the latest failure Will not
deter them from proceeding with
the enterprise. A new silken air
ship is now in process of construc-
ton, and will be started as soon as
completed. If that does not meet
with any more success than those
preceding, then another will be
built, and if necessary another. In
short. it is proposed to maintain
the experiments ad infnitum until
eventually the feat is accomplished.
This may be amusement for the
Graphic people. Children take de-
ighti in floating soap-bubbles tow
ard the sun. Why should not old
children float balloons to Europe,
particularly if the world finds pleas
ure in looking on?

THE LOCAL ELECTION.

SO warm and active a campaign as

FILTHY CONDITION OF MEMPHIS.

A disease Of malignant type is
among us,vigorously plying its mis-
sion of death; nor are we less pe--
suaded that this fatal fever has its
hidden, but plain, cause here in Mem
phis. A subject of as much impor-
tance as this dreadful pestilential
visitation naturally awakens in
quiry, and inquiry has discovered a
condition of things 80 appalling as
to excite the wonder that the death
dealing breath of pestilence has not
before this decimated our popula,
ton. We have no system of sewer
age in Memphis, and the necessary
consequence is that the filth of the
cit, is left to take care of itself. Our
sanitary police consist, for the most
part of some half dozen of the chain
gang,who occasionally do little more
than emancipate the confined odors
OF the kennels of Main street, and
give wings to imprisoned effluvia.
Our alleys and obscure streets are
left to the rag pickers, to porcine
and canine scavengers, to cleanse
them of the superauous foulness,and
were it not for the rains of pitying
heaven, would of themselves give
abundant employment to our under
takers and grave diggers.
And yet these are the objectiona-
BILE features touching the violation
of the laws of hygiene in Memphis.
We almost shudder to think of the
condition of every private family in
the matter of a supply of pure wa
ter. Nearly every family in the city
is dependent upon cistern for its
supply of water; nearly every cis-
tern is in close proximity to, and
generally in a direct geographical
line with the vault. No intelligent
man need be told of the percolative
and absorbant quail ties of the earth
and no Memphian need be remind
ed of the difficulty Of finding cistern
water in the city free from the i'm
purities of animalcul@, induced by
decomposition. The trains of evils
following these disagreeable truths
will suggest themselves to the intelli-
gent reader without further elabora-
tion. The great question with us
now is TO apply the remedy, and no
time is better than the present to
awaken the community to proper
sense of the situation.-Memphis
