New and Improved Gas burner.

J. L. Wells and James W. Robert have
received the general agency for the State,
of Rigby's resplendent gas burner, which is
an improvement on those in general use.
Mr.. Robert, who is the canvasSer for the in
PRODUCTION here Of this burner, gave us last
night a practical test of their benefits, and
we found that in the change of the old
burner to this new patent, We obtained
nearly double the amount of light, and with
no increase in the consumption of the gas.
By the use of a small tube, forming a juno
ton with the lava tip, it is claimed that the
Illuminating power is increased something
like thirty per cent. We feel satisfied that
this new burner, when examined, will
meet with ready sale.

Mr.. EDIToR IL heard the Rev. DR.. Damon
deliver the discourse at Fort Street Church, 90
the Hawaiian Thanksgiving Day, and was some
what amused at the Reverend gentleman's rea-
sons why the United States Senate should give
this Kingdom a Reciprocity Treaty :" The
Christians Of America have conferred upon these
islanders a Christian civilization" To very
large extent, Yes "1he Hawaiians have cor
daily reciprocated what has been done for them"
Not so clear-unless be means that Hawaiians
have literally given lands and money 10 the repre-
sentatives Of American Christians. People OF
the United States have already spent over mil
lion of dollars for the evangelization of these
islanders" / must take this for granted for this
is the ninety-ninth time-if my memory is not
treacherous-that l have seen or heard these
islanders told Of the muni6cence Of American
Christians 10 return we-islanders-sent some
OF our sons TO Washington to help the thing
along-the civil war-and have given our daugh-
tiers 10 marriage to naval officers. This looks ike
Reciprocity Now the United States ought to
give us q Reciprocity Treaty to cap the climax OF
giving. because These islands are what the peo
pie Of Oregon and California need to complete
their commercial integrity and unity such as
may be secured by Reciprocity" 1t is game
of give and take given Treaty of Reciprocity
by America we islanders should give these is
lands" or "such" Islands y "as may be Sc
cured by Reciprocity" to round out the "com-
mercal integrity aud unity" Of the people of
Oregon and California. Good Reciprocity is
what we Americans talk about-AnnexatiOn is
whit we really mean.

Boston, october Ith, 1874.
DEAR GAzETTE,-This is year Of disaster, and
FIRE and water seem in league to do all the de-
structiou possible. Fall River presents the latest
and almost the worst catastrophe. carrying as it
does SO many young lives into eternity. The
Granite Mills took fire on the morning Of the
18th Of September, and because Of imperfect FIRE
escapes the inmates of the upper stories met
their death by the flames, or chose the awful
alternative of Jumping from the fifth and sixth
stories to the ground. If this calamity shall bring
an investigation into the means of escape from
our mills 10 case of FIRE and an improvement
therein, the thirty or forty who fell victims on
that September morning will not have persisted
10 vain.
The whole country has been deeply interested
10 the Louisiana mudde. which is briefly this:
II is conceded on all sides that the government
which has ruled the state for the past two years
was not the government elected by the people,
but a government established under charges of
improper restraint upon colored voters, by de-
cree Of drunken judge, Durell. The United
States Senate, by a majority Of its committee
appoiuted to investigate, decided that there was
no government existing in Louisiana; bat not
understanding. the majority Of Congress and our
President sustained the Kellogg government.
Now Kellogg anxious to maintain his rule, had
new registration laws passed, so that the returns
and the decision Of the election should be IN
the hands Of bis own faction, and thereby bis
own reelection would be assured. The MeEnery
faction. who had majority OF the ballots cast at
The last election. thereupon arose, and by 3 pre-
concerted movement gained possession Of the
State House. and Kellogg with bis train took re-
fuee under the protection of :he United States
Custom House. For two or three days the rev
olutiouists held control of matters at New Or
leans. and then in answer to proclamation by
the President, recognizing the folly OF resistance
10 United States authority, they turned over to
the Kellogg party the reins OF government
