The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1873-03-08

Tho great advantages possessed by these
machines is their simplicity, chcapncss,
availability and complete mastery ovcr fire.
They are charged with seven gallons of WA
ter, in which is dissolved Il quantity of COM
mon soda, and in this solution is suspended
a small lcadcn bucket filled with sulphurc
acid. Thus charged, they arc set away for
use. At tho moment needed, the acid is
empticd into tho water by upsetting the
bucket containing it, and tho machine is
ready for use. 1t throws Il stream thirty
feet, of mingled wator and gas, and is easily
transported and worked by one person.
Ono railroad in Illinois has 23O of these
machines, another 12o, Chickering 4 Sons,
Boston, hayc 80 and a recent law of Con-
gross requires their usc on all water crafts
in tho United States. The town of Homer
was rocontly saved from destruction by one
of these machines.

Il Babcock Extinguishor and will take plea
suro in explaining its merits, and i'll for

Report OF Superintendent of Education.
1 have examined with much interest
the fourth annual report of the Superin-
tendent Of Education of South Carolina.
1 have in my possession the previous re-
ports, nnd the purpose of this brief
notice is to call attention to them. I
think that no one can read them without
coming to the conclusion that Mr..
Jillson is eminently fitted to discharge
the onerous and responsible duties Of
his Office, and that he is doing a GOOD
work for the State. The report is full of
most interesting information. He gives
us the scholastic population, the echool
attendance, the number of pupils study
ing each Of the branches taught, the
teachers employed aud their pay, the
school districts, school houses, aud many
other particulars. cannot forbesr say
ing that he makes honorable mention of
the University, and commends it to the
support OF the General Assembly and of
the people. Oae of the most interesting
Items in the report is the notice cf the
institution for the education of the
deaf and dumb and blind, nnd the State
Orphan Asylum. But the report con.
tains many other valuable particulars
which will not give. content myself
with this brief notice, referring your
readers to it, who, am sure, will agree
with mo. after examination, that what
ever may be the doubts in respect to
others, the State is fortunate in having
as the head of this most i'm portant of ali
the departments of the government.
man OF real ability, who is working at
his task with most praiseworthy zeal and
industry. L.

Immense amounts of real estate are
being offered for sale in all, parts Of
Pennsylvania. particularly ftarming
lands, the present owners Of which in
tend going West. And as result of
farming in the West, they will realize
twelve to fifteen cents per bushel for
corn, and encounter winters the rigols
OF which are now being realized by the
unfortunate residents of the Western

Pennsylvanians to settle in the South,
where lands are cheap, the climate ge-

IHE TAX LEvY.-The correspondent

The TAX LEvY.-The correspondent
OF the Charleston Courier says:
Under instructions OF the House of
Representatives, the Ways aud Means
Committee are engaged in the prepara-
ton OF tax levy for the fiscal year COM
mencing October 81, 1873. The plan
adopted by the government officers had
been to defer this levy until the next
session. and the committee had so re.
commended, but the Legislature is
almost unanimously pledged to pass the
lovy before the adjournment of the pre-
sent session. The report OF tbs Com
mittee has not yet been put in the shape
of Bill, bnt it is said the following
figures have been agreed upon: Tax for
expenses for carrying on the Govern.
ment, six mills; free schools. three mills;
payment OF interest on the public debt,
four mills; county tax, two mills; defic-
encies for the year 1878. three mills
total, eighteen mills. The introduction
of this bill will render an adjournment
impossible until about the 25th of the
present month, or tho 1st of March next.

in the State for six years, assembled ON
tho 14th ult., and organized. easily by
eIeoting NJ. d. K. Taylor Speaker OF the

in both houses, and the Radicals no
longer have their own way. The meet

has had . happy effect on the people:

The WAY TO WEA1TH.-If there is
anything needed to convince the scepti.
cal that cotton manufacturing in the
South is gold mine for those engaged
in it. the report of the Eagle and Phoenix
Company, Of Columbus, at the annual
meeting Of stockholders, will be suf1ici-
ent. Tho report states that the net
earnings or profit of the company for the
past. year amount to $161. .406.0l. The
undivided profits OF the company amount
to 1927. 1862, or twenty-four per cent.
OF the capital stock. According to this
statement the stockholders, when the
profits are finally divided, will have re-.
ceived back almost their entire invest.
ment. It is wonderful record, and
ought to stimulate the rapid growth of
similar enterprises everywhere in the
South. -.

The bill to aid and encourage manu-,
factures passed it's second reading in the
Senate. Saturday, after an animated de-
bate. The clause exempting new rail
road enterprises was stricken out, but a
strong effort was made by Senator Nash
to include the car-shops of railroads.
he stated that eve must do something
to enable manufacturers in this State to
compete with Georgia. and especially
with Augusta, where they were not only
not taxed. but we're paid bonus of three
per cent. for. ten years. II we would
only hold out liberal induoement, the

When the franking privilege was abo-
lished, people thought that We should
save the cost OF that expensive luxury.
It seems that we were mistaken; the
House Judiciary Committees bill pro-
vides that the generous sum of $1.713,-
827.72, alleged to have been saved by
the discontinuance of the franking privi-
lege, shall be absorbed in an increase of
official salaries. Is not this keeping the
word Of promise to the ear and breaking
it to the hope?

have the will, and be capable, earnest
and honest. But there's the rub. He
may do; some good. and; he may; not.
When we. remember the Land Com mis-
sion, the Sinking Fund Commission, the
Commission on the Code. We become
apprehensive that We may have another
job in this scheme of promoting immi-
grafton. But we are willing to risk it;
it is in the right direction. Pass, how
ever, new and sensible fence law. ex-
empt manufacturing capital for few
years. open your schools and have them
we'll managed. and you will do more to
introduce population and capital into the
State than you could by idly talking
about it, and passing bills in favor Of it,
from now till Christmas. Men under.
stand. aud aappreoiate facts, while they
are distrnstfnl9oi mere words and pro-
misses. Again, not only is the immigrant
discouraged by viewing things as they
ere, hnt. many poor men, already here,
who could buy tract Of land and be-
come producers, cannot incur the further
enormous cost Of fencing. And it is
matter OF some moment with such small
farmers, that q considerable per centage
of land is taken away from cultivation
by the crooked fenoe-as much. it is
said, as five acres in hu.dred. Crops
will be safer, too, whom no longer liable
to be run over and destroyed by animals
going at large, and the peace of neigh
borhoods would unquestionably be pro-
noted by the change We advocate. Law
suits, wrangling and contentious, SO
unseemly amongst neighbors, would
measurably cease. We might go further,
and show that travel on railroads would
be rendered safer. that stock would be
improved in quality and be better kept,
that destructive summer droughts would
be prevented by protection Of forest
growth, &c., 60. But We have said
enough. Those who have abandoned
the old expensive system show no desire
to return to it. Our neighbors of Vir-
|'ginia and Georgia are well-pleased with
the change. Let US not linger in the
path Of progress. Whoever natures and
secures the passage of good fence law,
instead Of the present one, will do good
service to the country, and be entitled to
its thanks.

We would think, that with suoh facts
before their eyes, no one could hesitate.
IL is at least four times as costly to fence
stock out as to fence them in. But
there are many other points, somo of
which we will briefly state, besides that
OF money outlay in building and keep
ing up fences, which deserve considera.
tion. The waste of timber is no small
item. Its destruction diminishes the
value OF land, and tends to keep away
settlers. When they come and look
over the country, and find the tim
der. already scarce, subject to be cut
down to keep up miles and miles OF
fencing. and look on the statute books
and find this old law still there, they will
conclude that We ars closely related to
Rip Van Winkle. and pass by on the

Continuing our walk III italy enter
the transcpt at our left, and pass along
between eases filled with brilliant
Italian silks, among lovely marble
statutes, and pause at last before II
small glass case containing portions OF
the human figure apparently in stone.
Some of thcnr are discolored, while
others have the color Of real life. And
they were once members of living
human beings which have been petri-
fled by process discovered by Prof,
Mmini. One hand, which looks almost
a living hand, claims to have been pre-
pared eleven years ago after method
which preserves not only the white
ness, but the softness offlcsh. Whether
really soft we had no methcd Of prov
ing, but the whiteness we could see.
The dark specimens have become
really hardened into bone. There is
also displayed here II photograph said
to have been taken four months after
death, from body thus prepared, but
which no one would think to he the
picture of Il corpse.
In an adjoining case are specimens
of the internal organs of the human
body, petrified after the method of
Prof Brunetti. There are the lungs,
the heart, kidneys, normal liver and
Il diseased liver, the last three not only
preserving their contour, but their
color, while the heart and lungs are of
n light grey color, though the form is
perfect. The heart is cut open, show
ing the thickness of the walls, the
arrangement ofthe valves. also a small
section of the aorta. Ii l. said that
these Professors will give instructions
in their art, and it is certain that the
discovery is one of great scientific
value.
Our companion drew our attention to
case near by, containing a small fig
ure of man lying OIL bier, while
around him were the fireplace and nee
essary accomplishments Of reducing
human body to ashes. Some calcined
bones were in small vessel, showing
how one would look after being burnt
by this professors method.
