A PROMISING INVENTION. - Mr.. A. Glacnet
has his home nicely lighted up with gas Of
his own manufacture, though as yet his ap-
paratus is Of rather rude character. A
common stove with round hole in its front,
into which is inserted an iron retort, is the
furnace two small ice-cream freeZers filled,
one with water, the other with solution CT
lime, serve as purifiers, while one urge tin
soil.barrel inverted into a larger one filled
with water, and working with weights ar
ranged from the ceiling, does duty as a gas
holder. Yet with these simple appliances a
full supply of excellent gas is obtained, and
no gas.bIll to pay. Of course the gas costs
orsethiug, but it is very little. The fire
which cooks the dinner makes 1t, and the
coal of which it was made leaves coke 10
assist in making more gas the next day.
Against the only possible danger which could
be apprehended-tbe digging of the pipes
AFR. G4aehet has provided by attaching to the
retort safety valve opening into the stove,
so that if Ozercharged it will give its surplus
to the stove, which it then ASSETS in heating.

THE LOTTERY BUSINESS. Petersburg

THE LOTTERY BUsISE>S.-The PETERSBURG
Iader vigorously declares:
"Tbe whole lottery business needs break
ing I'D. and this kind of open swindle calls
attention 10 its abuses and sets against 1t the
current of public opinion. The whole thing
is directly contrary to the state Constitution,
ard yet some of our leading men lcud Their
names, and some, alas sell their Influence to
support lhts. Yankee frauds. They have doEe
more mischief than all the Whiskey that ever
eurged, and That is saying vast deal. The
Legislature could not do a better thing than
to put its broad foot down on the whole
tribe of iniqultous impositions and all their
agents and'a0ettors."
The Southern Churchman, mt Alexandria,
Introducing an article OF The Sun puolished
before the announcement OF alleged fraud III

The legislature OF Virginia will ever author

motive be, lotteries are nurseries OF gam
bling-a spirit ripe enough in every commu-
pity without beng aided and iostered by

TO vote for him. The candidate himself did
not SUPPOSE SO. But the day of election
came, and in those good old times people
voted uiva uoce as they should do now, ill.,
