with the iron scales Of black rust, the ny
drogen passes through the red retort. and
when certain sui phurous vapors have been
disengaged from the residual gas there comes
forth the cheating gas - supercminently suit
ed for all calorifc purposes, where heat with
cut light is demanded. 1t is admirably
adapted for all kind of stores and steam en-
CINE boilers The cost of the gas at the
works is found to be only seven pence for a
thousand cubic feet and this quantity would
boil about fifty gallons of cold water. This cost,
itissaid, caube reduced by using the waste
heat of the retort furnace to supply the
steam, which is now supplied by an indepcn-
dent boiler
The distinctive feature ofthc Ruck process
for making the new fuel gas is in the decom-
position of the supplemented fame by means
Of coke and iron, which remain for long pc
riods in the retort without requiring change.
Combined with this is also an arrangement
for caroonizing the heating gas for purposes
of illumination. This is done by making it
pass through oil, from which its carbon is re-
cicved, and whence it issues an excellent gas,
equal in Illuminating power to sixteen can
dies for consumption of five cubic feet per
hour in an Argand burner. The cost of the
gas as used for lis h, is a trltle less than fifty
cents per thousand cubic feet.
This invention, if fully developed, will
set at rest the uneasiness cn the coal ques
ton and work worldwide revolution in the
cost of fuel and light for all purposes.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis is said to be writing
history of the war Such book from such
a man would be valuable. He is reported
as saying that he feared the country was be-
yond . the rcdccming efficacy Of moral worth
or elevated Intelligence" and the memories
of the Credit Nobilicr and the Jenna sean
dals give painful point to the observation.
As this decentralization has been entirely
brought about by the party that has control
led the government since war, 1t is well that
the most capable and cunning hand is to
write history of the pivotal period where
the decade of honesty and virtue ended and
the decade of corruption and dishonor com
menced. If Mr. Davis will prepare his work
with kill and judgment, as well as with the
ability any acknowledge he possesses, he may
walk down to posterity with it in his hand

HAEIT.-The reason why men never feel
like work in the morning is either that they
have formed other habits Or that they have
spent the evening improperly. They have
only to 90 to their work every morning and
do the best they can, fora dozen mornings
in succession, to find that the disposition
and power to work vii come. 1t will cost
a severe effort cf the will, but it will pay.
Then the satisfaction Of the task performed
will sweetcn all the other hours. There is
no darker or deadicr shadow than that cast
upon man by deferred and waiting task.
lttaunts him, chases, him. harries him,
sprinkles bitterness in his every cup, plants
thorns in his pillow, and renders him every
hour more unfit for its performance. The
difference between driving literary work
and being driven BY it is the difference be-
tween heaven and hell 1t is the difference
between working with the will and working
against it. It is the difference between
being a master and being Il slave.
Good habit is a relief, too, from all temp
tation to the use Of stmulants. BY 1t man
brain may become just as reliable "A produ-
Ger as his hand, and the chcerfulncsS and
healthfulncss which it will bring to the
mind will show themselves in all the issues
of the mind The writings of those contem-
porary geniuses Scott and Byron, illustrate
this point sufficiently. One is all robust
health, the result of sound habits the other
all fever and irrcgularity. What could Poe
not have done with Mr.. Longfcllows habit!
No; there is but one best way in which to
do literary work, and that is the way i'll
which any other work is done-after the
period devoted to rest, and with the rcgu-
larily Of the sun

agitated, not to say perhaps trific scandallz-

under the following circumstances: The
parties belong to arstocratic households, and
their ages are eighteen and seventeen. The
bridegroom is an unlcrsizcd lad, green and

his books under one arm and his luncheon

The Washington Republican of 9th ult. re-
peats its recommendation that the Govern
ment shall acquire valid title to Airing
ton, by making proper remuneration to
Mrs Lee. A reporter of the Republican in an
interview with Mrs. Lee, has gathered some
facts which will be of public interest The
Arlington estate was bequeathed by her father
to Mrs. Lee only during her lifetime. Gen.
Lee has not the slightest share or lot in it.,
and always invariably refused to exercise the
least control over it, except in the perform
ance of his duties as executor by the will Of
Mr.. Custis Mr.. G. provided that five years
after his death his avcs should be set free.
The time arrived in 1868, in the midst of
the war, and Gen. Lee summoned all the
slaves together and gave them their free pa
pers, and passes through the Confederate
lines to go whittier they would
At the time of the nominal purchase by
the United States of Arlington. Mrs. Lees
friends offered to pay the taxes for her, for
the payment of which it was put up; but
they were not allowed the opportunity.
The Republican reporter says Mrs. Lee
has no odea of asking that the estate be
restored to her, but does expect reasonable
remuneration for it. She spoke of the Pres
ideut and of his administration with the
highest respect and recognises the necessity
for no other state of affairs between the
North and South than that of profound
peace, amity and concord. Mrs. Lee is
now advanced in years, and has been for a
long time sufferer from nfamatory rheuma-
tsm She is lady Of noble appearance,
and her conversation is most interesting.
The Republican says "No one can see her
and hear her talk without being convinced
that the government will add to its honor
for just and honorable dealing by making a
just and legal settlement with her"

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Readers and friends, we greet you With
Happy New Year! Though 1t rains
and SHOWS, and lthe hollow winds moan
and whistle, and all nature seems dressed
in winter robes, as if in grief at the de-
parture of the old year, yet the Christ
mas time has been merry one. Every
cloud has its silver lining, and so it is
with every stricken heart. There comes
a time when all VIII be changed; when
the clouds of adversely will float off, and
the glad sunshine viii food in and elimi-
nate the gloom. To those to whom the
year has been one of profit and success,
we would say, enjoy the fruits of your
labor, and from your vol stored gamers
forget not those to whom the past year
is but the emblem of wasted fortunes,
blasted hopes or stricken fresides. If
there be those within the shadow of your
joyous homes (anh we donbt not there
are) who lack even the necessaries of
life, give but 1.-THE from what God has
blessed you with, and it willibe received
with greater favor in His sight than all
the regal homage of royalty Those to
whom the NeE Year comes with dark
forebodings, and who look back over the
waste of Year strewn with wrecks of
fortunes and hnrealized hopes, we would
say, stand firm at the wheel, and with
manly courage strive to beat back the
adverse waves, remembering that true
manhood can only be determined in the
fiery cruqble of adversely. And to those
little ones who are just entering upon
the, walks Of life, and to whose lips the
bitter chalice has not yet been pressed,
we wish'all the festal pleasures attaina-
bic durihgshe New Year. God bless and
direct the MODS of the children, for in
them rests the fr$3sa-weal or woe, not
only of our country, but of the world
To the DID, to the young, to the rich. tc
the poor, on land or at sea, at home OF
abroad, in sickness or in health, we cor
daily extend the greeting of a Happy
New Year.

Henceforth the year 1872 lives only in

DRY of the present generation, and we
stand face to face with the realities of
1873. The past year has its history, and
an eventful one it is. During that peri

During the past year the quadrennial
Presidential election was held, all the

Among the great achievements of sci
