COLDS MAGIC WROUGHT IRON HEATER

| s new invention by s. J. Gold, the inventor combines in one, many of the peculiarities of both these heaters. It is contracted of boiler plate iron tightly riveted, and its durability will be such as to be smoke, dust. and gas-tlght for years. The smaller sizes cost but little more than parlor stove and with the same amount of coal, will heat much more space than the stove.
 For economy in cost, for heating capacity, and for the saving of the heat the coal makes that of pure and June-like quality. it challeng- es comparison with any heater in the market. Use one of these heaters and all the smoke, dust and gas which so often fill the house, store or office where stoves are used is avoided.

The body was prepared for burial but as it was about to be placed Tn the coffin life seemedaato return, and though for weeks he had not been able to articulate, he began to speak in a clear voice, telling of what he had seen in the other worldg whither he seemed to have been transported after q few Lmo- Iments of darkness. He appeared to be in perfect health, and described his experi- 'ences in ianguage which seemed extrava- gant to his hearers, who came in from all

The Money Question Alone.

The Cincinnati papers of the day after
the election all credit the result to the
money question alone. The Enquirer,
Democratic organ, says: 1.-THE brave
Democratic party of Ohio, maligned, falsi-
fed and betrayed, has gone down before
the organized money power of the land. !"
The Commercial, Qnd.) says: "Ohio
gives her voice for honest money and the
sacred preservation of the pledged faith of
the people" The Gazette, Republican,
says: THE state has been carried by a
majority large enough to dispose of the
inhationists and repudiationists effectually
and for all time. Ohio declares for honest
money and honest principles" This con-
current ascription of the Republican vic
tory to the money issue would go to prove
that the school question had little to do
with the result. The Republican press
made great deal of noise about the Cath
ole hostility to the schools and the Catho-
lie influence over the Democratic party;
and we expected to see share of the VIC
tory claimed for this agency. But if il
made any impression on the Ohio people
or had anything to do with the Republican
success, the papers do not show it.

DECALCoMANIE.- This is the name of u
comparatively new art that is attracting
considerable attention at the present time.
1t consists in transferring pictures which
have been printed upon paper in high and
beautiful colors to any object one may wish
to ornament, such as fans, work boxes,
vases, flower pots, articles of furniture, &c.
When transferred these pictures look as if
painted upon the article ornamented, and
they are much more attractive and beauti-
full than they would be if painted with
brush, unless executed by very skillful
artist; indeed this beautiful art offers a
complete substitute for the process of hand
painting for most purposes. The pictures
embrace a great variety of subjects, such
as heads, landscapes, animals, insects,
flowers, comic figures, &c. The art is easily
acquired, and children even soon become
experts. Transferring these pictures is a
charming pastime for old or young, and
serves to cultivate a taste for the beauti-
full. We have received from j. L. Patten
& Co., 1852 William Street, New York, who
are dealers in transfer pictures, some hand
some samples of their goods. These gen.
tlemen WILL for the small sum of ten cents,
send full instructions in this beautiful art
together with ten handsome samples of the
pictures, or for fifty cents they will send
one hundred attractive pictures.

Mr.. Caldwell truly speaks of the charity
of our departed mother, in her judgment
of others-and he might also have added
that her charity was large indeed towards
all who believed in the cardinal princi-
Piles of the christian faith. All who
believed in the divinity of Our Sa.
viour, repentance, forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life ever
lasting, belonged to her church, or she to
theirs. Catholic or Protestant, if their
creed comprised these principles, and in
their lives they tried to exemphfy them,
it was enough.
She was our very best correspondent
and we shall miss her very much.
Even up to within few weeks she gave
us letters of four and sometimes six or
eight pages, full of philosophical thought,
beautiful, poetical ideas, and overaowing
with mothers love- In one of her late
letters, speaking Of the age and growing
infrmities of both father and mother. she

almost we feel the splash Of the waters. u
