A Paid Fire Department.

The Radical City Council are bent on inilicting
a scourge upon this city in the shape oil a Paid
Fire Department. Their action last evening is
proof OF this. They have simply deferred the
time of making the change until October, or until
after the city election They know they cannot
make their arrangements 10y that time. When it
is adopted look out for confagrations higher in
surance rates, and enormous taxation. This has
been the experience of the paid system every
where; and Wilmington will not prove all excep-
ton. 1t has been found an expensive failure in
Philadelphia; and n cry has been raised for its
reconstruction because Of the immense cost. Last
year the expenditures there exceeded S400, 900
and this year 1t will run 100000. 1t Is one
Of the Radical schemes there for political pecu.
lators to dlbble in and so it will prove here l. our
people suiicr it to go into operation. We have
now the best fire department in the United S ates,
on the safest and best plan we ever had it may
6e still further improved if more moral m IN OF
character will give it little attention and en-
couragcment.

Its cherished ideas. 1t has been the cause OF CIV

Carolina-the home OF that immortal Christian
Statesman, John e. Calhoun-a king. An Airi-
can king; it may be, from the royal line of Da-

proud old State-a State that could not be con-

CHEAP GAS LIGHT.

The Heading Eagle says that the Gas Company
OF that city have made proposition 10 reduce
the price of gas and improve its quality ii that
paper will stop agitating the question OF build
ing new works by the city. The Eagle says in
reply that it cannot trust the company-that II
would soon lapse into the old habit of high char
res and bad gas again; and no matter, the citizens
should have the profit of the gas anyhow, which
would be in the neighborhood of a million Of
dollars every ten years. In another Article the
Eagle says
CHEAP AND GOOD GAS
A correspondent in the Times and Dispatch,
evidently writing for the Gas Company, makes
two important admissions.
The first is, that the gas furnished is poor in
quality and high in price. and the second is, that
the Gas Company can proiitably make and fur
nish good gas for 81. 80 a thousand feet. Consid-
ering the liberal franchises by the la granted to
the Gas Company, their right to dig up streets
at any time and leave them in bad condition.
the exemption OF the stockholders for the debts
OF the company, and the exemption heretofore of
the company from municipal and county taxation
and their charging for an inferior article of gas
81 % thousand feet more than they say they can
protitably furnish il for, is gross imposition up
on thu rights OF the people The law aud the
gas consumers of Reading have made the Gas
Company what ii is and this city has the power
to lberatc the consumers Of gas from being
bound hand and foot by monopoly of their own
creation, and the people rising in their majesty
and might will do 1t.

Let il not be done. In the U. s. Senate yes
terday the Two most foremost men of the Radi.
cal party announced themselves in favor of mix 3
ed schools, as will be seen by referring 10 the
debate:
THE CIvIL-RIGHTs DEBATE CONTINUED.
The Senate then resumed the consideration oil
the civil-rjghts bill. Mr.. Johnston, of Virginia,
spoke in opposition thereto. and argued that in
his State colored people were now kindly treat
ed, and had equal rights under the law. any at
tempt to bring about social equality W ould only
increase prejudice.
Mr.. Morton, (Rep.) Of Indiana, spoke in reply
10 the argumen, of Mr.. Thurman, made yeser-
day He contended that the bill WAS cons,iu.
tional, and Congress had full power TO enforce
the provision of the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution by appropriate legislation.
The great obj ect of the fourteenth amendment
was Tor the psrpose Of establishing equality Of
the races.
Mr. Merrimon Dem J. of North Carolina, in
qulred IL the Slate should think proper to pro-
vide separate schools for males and females
would the Federal Government have power 10
prohibit such separation?
Mr. Morton said the State could make such
law, but there must be no exclusion on account
Of race. The States we're at liberty to establish
common schools or not, as they thought proper,
but if they did establish, all must be admitted.
Mr.. Boutwell, (Rep., OF Massachusetts,, said
the public shool was an epitome Of life, and in it
children were taughtthose requirements and con-
ditions of life not to be gained afterwards. He
therefore favored mixed schools and said it
would be in the highest degree inexpedient to
either establish.or tolerate separate schools. In
the public schools the doctrine ofhuman equality
ho . al, nf
secure the perpeuity of republican institutions.
10 the large cities it would be possible to estab-
lish separate schools, bu; he was against it as
matter of policy. ln large portion.of the South
separate schools could not be established, and no
attempt would be made to do SO.

Thieves are known to have hard time in
Delaware. They generally put wide distance
between the whipping post and pillory and
their precious bodies. Other States then ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Bulletin, get the
obnoxious class. This is caused by the order
that convict after being whipped shall wear
for six months convct's jacket in public.
Tho consequence is that he very soon makes
up his mind to leave the State, and as soon
as he gets to the border he tears of the hated
garment.
This may seem to the Delawareans very
beautiful and charming process of disposipg
Of their criminal population; but as to make
constant additions to the dangerous classes of
Pennsylvania and Maryland we may be par
doned If We fail to regard it with any great
amount of enthusiasm, The consequence of
II Is that the thieves of Delaware drift into our
prisons and amsbouses, where they are sup
ported by our taxpayers, together with our
own crlmlnals, while Delaware escapes all the
cost OF our maintenance, She breeds Them,
brands them, and kicks them out We lock
1hem up and endeavOr to reform them, and we
have TO pay for our philanthropy and cur su-
perior civilization.
Possibly the fault may be in ourselves. If
we were 10 deal as Strlngently with thieves as
delaware does, We would be less troubled with
the predatory gentry.-BdlttBl0rC Gd.ette.
We believe our excellent and able Baltimore
contemporary has arrived at most sensible
conclusion. We of Delaware find a deal
of trouble with the Black Republican thieves
of Maryland and Virginia and were it not for
the post, pillory and lash, would be over run
with them, and the white horse thieves, burg
lars, and yillainous scoundrels from theNorth,

Will be logged tomorrow. Had the four re-
1erred TO above not been pu nished at the pil-
Tory they would have escaped as lightly as
they had done before. But whe they left the
Delaware prison they took with them the
stripes of Delaware justice which will stick ia
them as long as their names last We are
tlred OF supporting such scoundrels by taxing
our people. We hope our people will some
either conclude to make the ra5cals work dur
Ing their imprisonment-on the roads If No
where else-or change the laws TO one year
imprisonment, with fogging every month
instead of one fogging and ten years mprison-
ment. There Is no sense in making right
eous man work to support criminal in idle
ness, as is the case in Delaware and many
other States at present.

AN IMPROVED ILLUMINATING GAS.


The London Mining Journal of q

ents with tho gas given off by the usu-
al process of roasting the coal in the
retort. Three retorls of iron or clay,
though greater number may bo en-
ployed, if required, are placed in the
ordinary manner in setting,and coal
is charged into the bottom one, the
retort being filled with chalk, and the
upper one with coke. The three were
connected, 70 that the gas eliminated
in the lower one is made to pass
through the chalk and coke, into the
hydraulic main. The gas, as il issues
from the bottom retort, coming
through tho incandescent chalk in the
intermediate retort, has its constitu-
ents, tar and ammonica water, lost in
the usual process, converted into H.

constituents, which act as carrying
gases. This drives the tar and liquor
out of the chalk, the carrying gases
and the dry steam re-absorbing them

possess. The coal gas and water gas
combined thon pass through the incan-
descent coke in the top retort, where
the steam, having facilitated the union

tests made at temporary works show
that the Illuminating power is greatly
increased, while the gas is almost
wholly free from sulphur and without
ammonia. The labor is diminished

cost OF works is essentially cbeapened
and the wear and tear greatly re-
duced. Coal gas consumers will re-

the chronic evil of poor gas and have
a material tightening of gas bills.

FooD THAT GIVES ENDuRAYcE.-
Years ago some philosopher advanced
the opinion that Ireland could not
successfully resist English rule so long
as the people of the former country
relied on potatoes for diet, while
those OF the latter country have plen-
ty of beef And now an English pa
per explains why the French were
so easily conquered by the Prussians,
on tho ground that the former were
only provided with starchy fare, while
the latter had an abundance of nitro
genous food. 1t says: "Thc light
messes Of the French troops diet have
not enough stamina in them, and with
but few exceptions they cut up very
badly as pedestrians in their late war !;
whereas the Germans, on their hard
but nutricious fare Of pea and bean
meal, made tracks so fast and so well
that whenever marching on parallel
line with the French they could out
flank them" 1t says the English
soldiers of the Crimean war were tho
supcriors of all others because they
were provided with better rations.--
Losseps found that beofoating Eng
lishman could do far moro digging in
the Suez Canal than man OF any
nativity were their food was rice or
otheir starchy food. British sway
will be easily maintained in India so
long as the English soldiers cat corned
beef, and the llindoos subsist on rico.

by new member he invited to his
house TO an entertainment he gave to
Wilkic Collins. The Hon. Lycurgus
Leatherlungs, from the Mill Greek

considerably "sprung" when he
reached Mr.. Philips palatial residence.
A few glasses of choice old wine there
completed his utter ruin. When be

words, he said:

'Oh, never mind me, Milky; I'm

This, however, only resulted in The
newly made member of Congress
throwing his arms around the neck
of tho novelist and kissing him on the

the entire force Of the festive throng

The Original Granger of the United
States.

The Chicago Times recently pub
lished sketch of William Saunders,
the man who ineugurated tho Order
of Patrons of Husbandry in America.
The correspondent who visited Mr.
Saunders at Washington gives an in
teresting account of his labors in con-
nection with the organization.
Mr. Saunders is a genial, unosten.
tatious, sensible Scotchman. He is
upward of sixty years of age, man of
large frame, something above medium
height, with gray hair, beard almost
white ; and, although his complexion
is rather dark, he has the lightest
blue eyes | ever saw--eyes which
would delight the transcendental Al.
colt, who believes that tho blue-eyed
will inherit the earth. lie has a high
and somewhat retrea.ing forehead, a
nose which evinces strength of charac-
ter and rather sober expression of
countenance, as of a man OF thought
rather than of man who is controlled
by his feelings. Ills bearing is such
that be elicits good will from others,
those who are associated with him
holding him in profound aad even
tender regard.
Mr.. Saunders came to this country
in lS47 Prior to that time had been
engaged in horticultural and agricul
tural pursuits in and about London,
where he organized several societies
of persons engaged in occupations
similar TO his own. For several years
past hc has been as he is at present,

the Department Of Agriculture, and

the brief period they have been in OK.
istence, certainly does credit 10 bis
skill and taste.
The order of the Patrons of Hus.
bandry was first conceived in his mind
some seven years ago. The grand
objects ho had in view wero general
improvement in husbandry, the pro.
motion OF tho welfare and happiness
of those engaged in agricultural and
kindred pursuits, and the increase con.
sequont upon these of tho general
wealth and prosperity OF the country.
lie had observed that the popular
modes of creating an interest In bus.
bandry, and of securing diffusion of
knowledge with view to its applica.
tion for tho increase of the products
Of the soil, were imperfect and wholly
inadequate. He saw that, Cor the
welfare OF the great producing masses
of tho country, and for efficiency Of
thor lahors, two things were essential
-education, especially instruction In
relation to tho best methods Of pro.
duction, and unity Of action, aud these
two essentials he kept and still keeps
steadily in view t 9'l -
