1T is stated by Gaudin that in repeat
ing the experiments OF TOuzet by the In
halation of mixture OF equal parts OF
air and oxygen, he experienced an IN
usually comfortable sensation, which so
far removed the disposition to continue
respiration that he could hold his nose
and close his mouth without any discom-
fort for five minutes-a fact which, ne
suggests, may be of service to divers.
A portable engine on new plan has
recentiy been constructed in Paris. 1t
is mounted on two wheels only, with
springs, and can be readily drawn by
horses, shafts being attached to the
springs. When at the place where its
services are required, the wheels are
readily taken off, and the machine al
lowed to rest on its two bed-plates, In
which are holes for securing it to foun-
dation if necessary. The boiler is cylin-
drical in form and tubular. The fire.
box, which is wholly within the shell OF
the boiler, can be removed; the shafts
are then attached to move the engine
from place to place An efficient super
heater is fixed at the upper part OF the
boiler, the cylinder of the engine is
steam-jacketed, and the cutoff is con-
trolled by the governor. The feed water
is conveniently heated by an appliance
with the shell of the boiler.
The use of gas as fuel does not APP
pear to have made any rapid satisfactory
progress. One reason of this lies, per-
haps, in the imperfection of the modes OF
combustion, although something has
been done to remedy this. The system
has prevailed cor siderably in France, and
the average consumption of the cooking
stoves there used-consisting of mix
ture of gas and airs stated to be as
follows: For a large fire, 260 litres per
hour; for moderate fire, 140 litres per
hour; and for a small fire, fifty litres.
When the stove is used, what the French
call pot-aufeu, it is found that it is suf-
ficien. to keep up q large fire for about
twenty minutes only, after which the gas
may be turned down and the operations
completed with very small fire. The
cleanliness and hardness of gas as fuel,
and the great economy arising from its
instantaneous lighting and extinction,
give it an undoubted advantage over
charcoal, with few of the inconvenience
attending the latter-N. Y. Sun.

It would be more advantageous to the COM
munity if the police force would stop indulg-
ing in the pastime of shooting at each other,
and employ their leisure hours in protecting
ladies from insult who have occasion to walk
the streets in the day time in the upper part
of the city. short time ago we mentioned
the fact of lady having been grossly assailed
by burly negro on Philip street
A similar occurrence took place on the
s,me street on Monday morning last, when
the estimable wife of prominent citizen was
persistently followed by a negro for several
squares, until she had to take refuge in the
house of friend, the black rascal placing his
vile hand upon her as she darted through the
gateway. If the police authorities can not
or will not put stop to these outrages other
and more effective means should be employed.

ANNUAL ELECTION OF TEACHERS,

A correspondent writes to protest against
the vicious habit of electing teachers for the
schools each year, and we heartily concur IN
his views. The practice is utterly indefensi-
BILE, and is productive OF great evils in the
schools. 1t has grown out Of wish on the
part of the school directors to make places
for friends, too often without the slightest
regard to capacity or fitness. Granting equal
ability in new appointees, the system is bad,
because it offers no inducements to good
teachers, aud is calculated to destroy the
harmony and efficiency of the schools.
We can hope for nothing from partisan
and incompetent Board of School Directors,
but when the schools once more come under
the control of good men, then this ridiculous
and injurious farce of electing teachers annu-
ally and of ousting good teachers in order to
nut in the pets of individuals on the Board
will be stopped. The day is not very far off
when this will be done, for the people are
heartily disguised and wearied with the
shameless and shameful conduct of the
schools under the present regime

THE NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC RAIL.
WAY.

There was meeting Tuesday OF the Beard
of Directors of the New Orleans Pacific Rail-
way, at which Senator J. r. West was present
by invitation. The Senator addressed the
meeting at some length, and was listened to
with interest and attention.
He most emphatically gave his indorse
ment to the scheme, declaring his willingness
and intention to use his utmost efforts in
Congress to advance the interests of the COM
pany, at the same time promising that what
ever aid might be accorded to the Texas and
Pacific Railroad should be extended to and
participated in by this most important branch
Senator West being Chairman of the Com
mittee on Railroads in the United States
Senate such declarations and promises
coming from him are most important and en-
couraging to thu Pacific r abroad Company.
We are glad to perceive that the feeling of
our people, both in town and country, in
favor of the speedy construction of this road
is growing stronger and more enthusiastic
every day. Those gentlemen who have
charge of the great enterprise, feeling in
spirited by these manifestations Of approval
of their plans, are working with redoubleG
zeal and energy.
Let our capitalists come forward promptly
and freely with their subscriptions, and Pres
ident Wheelock and his associates will be
enabled to complete at an early day this road,
which is destined to supply great feeder %
the commerce of New Orleans, and restore
her lost trade with Northern and Eastern
Texas.

THE TROUBLE AT FRIAR'S POINT
MISS.

For two days we have been receiving most
exciting telegraphic dispatches indicative OF
bad feeling, and an early collision between
the whites and blacks of Coahoma county,
Miss, at or near Friar's Point. From what
we can gather from these fragmentary reports
there has been violent feud between two
wings of the Republican party in that vicin-
age-the one led by Senator Alcorn, and the
other by a shrewd, intelligent and ambitious
negro from Kentucky, who occupies the posi-
ton of sheriff of the county, rejoicing in the
common but euphonious name of Brown.
Alcorn is most pronounced and bitter
enemy of Ames the son-in-law of Beast But
ler who now holds and disgraces the office
of Governor of the great State OF Mississippi.
Ames is no doubt encouraging Brown in his
violent demonstrations, with view to politi-
cal effect in the coming election. His action
several weeks ago in calling upon the Federal
government for troops conclusively shows the
unscrupulousness, duplic;ty and cowardice of
the man.
EAlcorn's difficulty with Brown has had IL Q
effect of arraying the blacks against the
whites, and the natural consequence has fol-
lowed, as will be seen by our dispatches this
morning, that the ignorant Africans have had
to succumb to numerically inferior, but
mentally superior force of the Caucasian
race.
The Gen. Chalmers who figures so largely
in this aft air was, if we mistake not, promi-
nent cavalry officer in the Confederate army
This conflict between the two races in rich
and productive portion of Mississippi will,
unquestionably, have a most injurious tenn
porary effect upon its agricultural interests.
1t will demoralize and disorganize labor in
that section, and will greatly retard the gath
ering of the cotton crop. For this, and other
reasons, it is greatly to be deplored.

LETTER FROM LOUISVILLE.

Dear Bulletin-If dyspeptic traveller from
"Dixie requires anything beyond railroads.
hash houses and fatigue to put him on good
terms with himself and a frst-class hotel, it
is found in the genial welcome of an old
friend And if, in happy conjunction, one
finds himself ushered into the hospltaltles OF
a luxurious home, rather than "shoWn up
to apartments in friendless hotel, 1t is but
natural that one should feel more than salts
fed, Among the thousands who come from
"Dixie" through Louisville to the North,
there are few, if any, who do not know, or
have not heard of Gen. Tom Taylor, sc. S,
A." Probably, however, all do not know of
the generous home-like luxuriousness with
which the Louisville Hotel (of which Gen.
Tom Taylor is the presiding genius y is
made attractive.
Overlooking the beautiful rotunda (similar
to our ST. Charles, except the full height OF
the second ceiling above) is a general loung
ing, reading, sitting or promenadlng saloon,
for both ladies and gentlemen. The most
choice and rare old engravings and OF paint
ings of more modern date emoellish the walls
of this promenade saloon and the adjoining
parors, and rich carpets, easy chairs and sofas,
complete the picture of home comfort The
noise hustle, and sometimes turmoil, that fire.
ouentIy mark the assemblages of hotel ro-
tundas, is by this inf fence softened and
toned down to the proprieties OF polite
drawing-room.
A wise man, who therefore can afford to
be nameless, once remarked that if he could
but write the ballads Of people, he cared not
who m ade the laws. The same person may
also have said if he could but provide the
hotels of city, he cared not who furnished
the other attractions to begule travellers and
lelve a pleasant impression of the place.
Louisville is certainly fortunate in that re-
gard, and very far beyond 81. Louis.
The great Exposition" still biaz9s with all
the attractions of art and labor products, and
subdues the visitor with the milder and more
mysterious, but no less potent Influences of
artistic embellishments. Grottos Of rustic
beauty fountains whose spray ascends above
the third story, through blazes Of surround
ing gas light and the contrasting lights and
shades of evergreeus and flowers, the mazes
of glittering lights, the exq'ste tones and
perfect skill with which the orchestra blends
the harmony OF sweet old music, and then, if
the theme were not too dangerous, the grace
full step and brilliant beauty Of the fair women
of Kentucky.
These, in simple outline, are enough to in
duce any ssoul sincere" who ever solilo-
auized with reference to his or her "native
land" to visit the Exposition Hall"
are not for sale. This may save our own
committee the expense of a trip up here.
Politics here are lively on the question of
the local elections, but hang suspended on
the Ohio agony, as to the national race.
Should Allen win, it is thought contraction
will get black eye. Yours, il.
