why and Wien Lamps Explode.

All explosions Of coal oil lamps are
caused by the vapor of gas that COL
lects in the, space above TIE oil.
When full of oil of course a lamp
contains no gus, but Immediately on
lighting, the lamp consumption Of
oil be gins, soon leaving a space for
gas, which commences to form as the
lamp warns up. and after burning
q short time sufic'el gas will iecu-
mulate to form an explosion. The
gas in lamp will explode only when
ignited. In this respect it is like gun
powder Cheap or inferior oil is al
ways the most dangerous.
The fame is communicated to the gas
in the following manner: The wick
tube in all lamp burners is made lar
ger than the wick which is to pass
through it. 1t would not do to have
the wick work tightly in the burner;
on the contrary, it is essential that it
move up anu down with perfect ease.
In this way it is unavoidable that
space in the tube is left along the
sides Of the wick sufficient for the
flame from the burner to pass down
into the lamp and explode the gas.
Many things may occur to cause
the flame to pass down the wick tube
and explode the lamp.
l. A lamp may be standing on q
table or mantel, and a slight puff Of
air from the open window, or the sud-
den opening of door, causes an ex-
! plosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from a table or mantel, and instantly
explode
3. A lamp is taken into an entry
where there is a draft, or out of doors.
and an explosion ensues.
4. 4 lighted lamp is taken up q
fight Of stairs, or is raised quickly to
place it on the mantel, resulting in an
explosion. In all these cases the mis-
chief is done by the air movement
either by suddenly checking the draft,
or forcing air down the chimney
against the flame
.. Blowing down the chimney to
extinguish the light, is q frequent
cause of the explosion.
G. Lamp explosions have been caus-
ed by using chimney broken off at
the top, or one that has piece broken
out, whereby the draft is rendered va
riable, AMI the flame unsteady.
:. Sometimes a thOughtless person
puts a small-sized wick into large
burner, thus leaving too much space
in the tube along the edges of the
wick.
s. An old burner, with its air-draft
clogged up, which rigbtfully should
be thrown away, is sometimes contin>
ued 10 use, and the final result is an
explosion

AMystery Cleared Up.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald, of the
7th inst, thus tells how a girls mis-
ehieyous acts were exposed: "All
newspaper readers in this State re-
remember the startling and unac-
coun table manifestations which oc-
cITed at Surrency, on the Macon &
Brunswick Railroad, a year or two
since, and which was attributed to
the agency of spirits. The house Of

however, finally stopped, and after
a while lived only in the remembrance
Of those who had witnessed and
heard Of them. Some time since sim.
liar manifestations began in the fami-
ily Of a very estimable lady, Mrs.
Russell Johnston, of Barlow, on the
line Of the Central Railroad The
crockery. brick-bats, and other ports@
and small articles rained about the
house, in the most astonishing man
ner, causing no little terror to the in
mates. However, NJ. John A. Me-
MILAN, a son-in-law Of Mr.. Johnson,
not being frightened entirely out Of
his wits, noted the similarity of the
manifestations to those at Surrency,
and finally remembered that they had
in the family as a servant
at the time colored girl, who bad
also been in the employ of Mr.. Sur
rency at the time that those strange
freaks Of the unseen agency took
place IN his house Thinking that
the two must certainly have some

watch was kept upon this girl, and
she was finally detected in the act Of

BE THOU TRUE.

Care not what others say,
BE thou truel
If they gossip to betray.
BE thou true!
Be consistent and do right,
For the truth make good fight;
Dowhat thou dost with all thy might;
BE thou true! be thou true.
Let thy love be sincere
Be thou truel
Only God hast thou TO fear;
Be thou true!
Since our Joys must pass away
Like the dewdrops or the spray,
Wherefore should our sorrows stay.
BE thou true, be thou true.
Friendships very hard to find,
BE thou truel
True love is not always blind,
Be thou true.
Time at last makes all things straight
Let us not resent-just wait
But trust not too much in tate.
BE thou true! be thou irue'
Like the summers fragrant flowers,
Be thou true.
Like the Aprils coming showers,
BE thou true!
Like the mountain looking high,
And the river rolling by
Like the blue and arching sky.
BE thou true! te thou true!

The Mecklenburq Centennial.

Active preparations are being made for an
appropriate celebration of the centennial an
niversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence on the Goth of May next. The
citizens of Charlotte and vicinity are deter
mined to honor the event with suitable demon
strations, and thus commemorate the original
declaration of independence, which was pro-
claimed by the patriots of Mecklenburg long
before the colonies united in general move
ment One hundred years have nearly elapsed
since the Mecklenburg Declaration was signed,
and it becomes the people of the South gene
rally to join in the celebration. The Tennessee
Legislature has appointed commission to con-
fer with the Governor Of North Carolina,
and make such arrangements as may be neces-
sary and proper for due observance of the oc-
casion. The authorities in South Carolina
have taken no steps toward this matter, but the
people of the up-country especially should
unite in this reunion and lend their presence
to the patriotic scheme. The railroads will
doubtless issue excursion tickets, which will
enable visitors to make the trip at small out
lay. We notice that Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
has consented to serve as Chief Marshal at the
Mecklenburg Centennial, and we are sure that
many hundreds will be glad to meet the old
chieftain once again. We will endeavor to
furnish fuller programme of the ceremonies at
an early day.
