FUEL FROlL GOAL DIST.

The LOiseau process, by which fuel is made
from coal dust, is to be applied on large scale
in Philadelphia this winter. The manner in
which the coal dust is treated and rendered
suitable for use has been already described at
length in the Tribune. The correspondent of
Philadelphia paper gives the following par
ticulars Of the working of smaller machine
than that previously described IA small ma
chine has been put up at a machine shop in
Mauch Chunk, where have had the opportu-
nifty of observing the mode of manufacture. 1
saw Mr.. Loiseau fill a pail with nineteen
pounds of coal waste, TO which he added one
pound of clay, making only five per cent. of
the latter. To this he added a small amount
of milk of lime-a simple solution Of common
lime and water. These were thoroughly mixed
for few moments in a wooden vessel which
had been an ice-cream freezer. The mixture
was then placed in hopper over compress
ing roller, having on its outer surface half-egg
shaped concavities. The machine was set in
motion, and Immediately the Jumps of fuel be-
gan to fall on the floor at the bottom of 1t. l
saw some of these Jumps taken Immediately,
without any drying or other preparation, and
placed upon an anthracite fire in black
smiths shop, where q blast made the heat
most intense. 1t ignited Immediately, without
any cracking or fracture, and burned perfectly,
retaining its shape until nearly consumed"

FEVER

HE IS ATTACKED WITH THE WESTERN
FEVER.
The ambitious spirit created in the minds OF
some of the male members Of the rising genera
ton by reading dime novels, giving exploits Of
Western life and heroic encounters with buffaloes
and Indians, has caused them to forsake CON-
Portable homes and attempt immigration to those
distant Wilds where civilization is somewhat at a
discount, and society Of q free and easy kind.
These young men, in preparing for these extended
expeditions, are generally short Of the most i'm
pOrtant requisite for procuring an outfit, that of
ready cash, and supply this necessary by aPpro-
priatinR some other PERSONS money, regardless
OF the crime committed in the theIt and the un-
certainty of escaping without being apprehended.
youth fourteen years Of age, named Ferd-
inand Dessan, apprentice to Valentine Mattern,
cigar manufacturer, at the corner Of Seventh and
L streets northwest, was attacked with this west
eIn fever last Monday, and believing that
rolling cigars or selecting filters was not his
forte, but that he could become q noted hunter,
STAY antelope and buffalo and trail the Indian to
engagement with his master and seek for future
greatness beyond the Rocky Mountains. Not
being overloaded with greenbacks, and pocket
temptingly near, It was quietly secreted about
his person, and with 1t he bid adieu to the estab-
lishmenk
He Immediately supplied himself with some Of
the most needed articles that he would require,
among which were pistols and ammunition. Evil
IDENTIFY thinking it unsafe under the existing cir
cumstanees to remain in the city over night, he
proceeded to the Virginia side Of the Long bridge,
where he lodged untl morning, when he returned
and took the cars for Baltimore. Detective
Coomes in the meantime was on the watch for
the young mar, on behalf Of his employer, who
was not anxious to have him leave with the
money as the boy appeared willing to go, and
gaining track of him, telegraphed to the Monu-
mental City,where he was caught by one Of Chief
Crone's officers, and brought back to this city by
Detective Coomes last night. He makes no de-
NAL Of taking the money, and says he intended
to use It in his career in the West. He will, in
all probability, be sent to the reform school,
where such nonsense will soon be eradicated.

AYTETRADE NNION.

The National Federation of Associated En-
ployers of Labor is appealing to employers for
aid in England. 1t assails the trade unions in
this fashion:
The federation has been formed in eonse-
quence of the extraordinary development, op-
pressive action, fsr-reaching, but openly-syowed
designs and elaborate organization of the trade
unions. Its object is, by defensive organiza-
ton of the employers of labor, to resist these
designs so far as they are hostile to the inter-
ests of the employers, the freedom of nom
uniOnist operatives, and the well being Of the
community. Trade unions are numerous,
compact, have large resources, and great in
fuence. They have a well-paid and ample
staff of leaders, most of them experienced in
the conduct of strikes, many of them skillful
as organizers, all forming a class or profession
apart, with interests distinct from though not
necessarily antagonistic to those of the work
people they lead but, from their very TGiSoR
d'stre, hostile to those of the employers and
the rest of the community. The inducements
of their position to keep the industrial world
in a state of chronic confusion are almost ire
sistible, and the natural consequence is that
they are necessarily engaged in keeping the
relations between employers and employed in
state of irritation and hostility, and in foment-
ing dissatisfaction with all the laws which are
intended to protect the employer, the employed,
and especially the nOn-uniOnist, from their
Overbearing interference.

THE PROGRESS OF THLRTY-FIHE
YEARS

THE PROGRESS OF THLRTYFIYE
YEARS.
How greatly extended have been the boun-
daries of human knowledge, how vast and sub
lime the results of scientific labor and re-
searchesl How many important and useful
discoveries and inventions have had their birth
and development IN that period! We have
lived to see thousand timid, hesitating sug-
gestions in science ripen into demonstrated
facts; to see a thousand important truths
snatched from the domain of surmise, con-
lecture or doubt, and transferred to that of e.
tablished, unquestioned certainty.
A third of a century, when our labors began,
we had no lines of telegraph, no ocean steam
ships, no street Tail-ears, no Photographic pic
lures, no aniline colors, no kerosene oil, no
steam fire engines, no gun-cotton, no nitro
glyceTine, no aluminium, no magnesium, no
electroplating, no spectroscope, no positive
knowledge Of the physical constitution of the
stellar worlds, and but five hundred miles of
slow steam railway in the United States. Our
telescopes and microscopes were defective, and
comparatively of low power, and we had few
of these delicate scientific instruments now so
important in every department of research.
The last third of century has been the
most active, the most important period of time
that has elapsed since time began. Indeed,
more of the great resources of nature have
been developed, more Of her intricacies unrav-
eled, deeper penetration made into her mys-
teries, than in all the six thousand years since
the advent of man upon our earth.
Do we who have lived and perhaps actively
participated in the accomplishment of these
results realize the stupendous greatness of
this epoch of timel It is difficult to do this.
We are pleased to talk about it, but our ma
lures do not admit of a fun realization Of the
Importance Of modern scientific discovery. We
are whirled past these great events, as our
planet Is whirled through the inter-planetary
spaces; we know it moves with tremendous
velocity, but its motions are wholly unob
served,

THE ESTATE OF CHARLES Aston
BRLSTED.

THE ESTATE OF CHARLES Aston
BRLSTED.
On the 18th Of last January Charles Aston Bris-
ted died in Washington, D. o., leaving two sons,
John Jacob Astor Bristed and Charles Henry
Maine Bristed, the latter being at present
minor, aged fourteen. In his will he appointed
his wife, Grace Ashbury Bristed, and henry s.
Sedgwick respectively the executrix and eIecu-
tor Of his estate. As is we'll known, the deceased
was a nephew Of John Jacob Astor, who died on
the 29th March, ls4S, and in his Will bearing date
July l. 1885, left him his country seat at He'll
Gate comprising thirteen acres Of land, and the
interest on $4,000, to be paid during his life
time and at his death the country seat and the
AIS 600 to be divided equally among his surviv-
inR children. During his lifetime Mr.. Bristed
expended in laying out Eighty-eighth and
EiKhty-pinth streets tl9 5sS ~ one half Of which
was paid from the AstOr estate. The United
States Life and Trust Company was made the
guardian Of the minor son. A petition has been
made to Judge Davis, Of the Supreme Court, BY
executrix and executor Of the estate TO have the
Trust Company pay over one hall OF the hall ex-
pended by the deceased on the streets named.
The matter came up for 8 hearing yesterday, Mr..
Geo H. Foster appearing for the petitioners and
Mr. Edgar S. Van Wrinkle for the Trust CON-
pany. The only point raised was that proceed
ing to compel payment by trust company as
guardian OF an infant can only be done BY an &C
tion and not by o petition. Judge Davis took
the papers.-E. Y. Herald Of gssierday.

The exercises at this WeIl-known and highly
character even more interesting than usual.
After searching examination upon the portions
Of Blackstone and Kent assigned for the even
ings lesson, Judge Paschal lectured to the Junior
class on that portion Of the law Of personal prop
erty which relates exclusively to the products Of
he mind, including the law of copyrights and
of patents. The examination developed that the
young gentlemen were thoroughly familiar with
the portion Of the subject gone over, and again
demonstrated the excellence Of the improved
system Of instruction adopted by Professors Pas
Chal and Ingle, while the lecture was by all odds
the most interesting and instructive of the course
The Judge reviewed at length the statutes re-
IatiIg 10 copyrights and patents, first pointing
out that the Constitution OF the United States
provided for the protection Of the author and the
inventor described the processes to be gone
through with before q copyright or patent
can be obtained, and what the WOuld-be patentee
must show. He also touched upon the defences
which an alleged infringer might set up, and in
cldentally referred to several cases bearing upon
the subject decided or argued in the Supreme
Court recently. In closing he spoke Of the in
justice Of taxing the inventive genius Of the
country to obtain n right which the Constitution
especially provided for, in order TO make a single
among the many bureaus Of the Government
seltsupportinR. The Judge was loudly ap-
plauded at the close Of his lecture.
In view Of the fact that the rule Of the court
is likely soon to be amended, making admission
less liberal it becomes the duty Of persons enser-
ing upon the study Of law 20 select school where
the Instruction is thorough. and not superficial.
