GAS.

Does any OF our readers know what is
the origin or derivation Of the word Gas 2
And if no one can say, as may very readi-
ly be the case, since some of our Lexi-
cooraphers merely call it word invent
cd by the chemists" then let them read
on, and let them know that the term gas
sprnng from the same source as ghdlst
or ghost, both being from Teutonic word
signifying spirit or supernatural being.
and variously spelled, CAST, Jhais, or
otherwise, according to the different
Teutonic dialects. Now, some OF the
mineral springs of Germany eIhale
vapoir, which hangs above them in the
semblance Of light thin cloud. This
being seen, was occasionally taken for a
ghais or ghost, but those who had a lit
tie more wit at their finger ends, knew
the thing to be neither more nor less
than vapour. From this deceptive ap-
pearance however, arose the custom OF
applying the term ghais to all vapcurs or
eriform bodies, being adopted by the
continental chemists. the word soon be-
came universal in this sense. Bye-the-
bye, may not this circumstance Of va
pour arising from natural springs, un-
der certain states Of the atmosphere, be
the origin, source and foundation OF all
phite ladies' that ever haunted wells from
the MAIDS Of old Greece, to that bsauti-
full apparition that fitted for q moment
before the gaze Of the last lord Of Ra-
venswood, when, in fulfllment Of his
sad doom, he sought to win the heart and
hand Of the unhappy Bride Of Lam
mernuir."

One Of the wealthiest Of the new mem
bers in Congress is William A. Piper. Of
San Francisco, who owns two hundred
acres of land within the city limits, the
largest tract in the possession of
a single person. He is probably the only
man in Congress Of pure Swedish stock, /,
descended from the early settlers on the
Delaware. His mother lived to be one
hundred years old, and died in Franklin
county, Pa, near Chambersburg, where
Mr.. Piper was born in 1925. At the age
of fourteen Piper moved to Kentucky,
and thence to st. Louis, where he picked
up the carpenters trade, until the Mexi-
can war broke out, when he enlisted in a
battery and went off with Donaphan to
chihuahua. Many years before he had
read a speech of Daniel Webster, de-
claring that whoever possessed the Bay
Of San Francisco would control the
Western Ocean, and his imagination,
fired by this speech, started him to the
Pacific coast as soon as we annexed Cali
fornia. Among the twelve men who
went at the time were Anthony, who for
a long time published the Sacramento
Union and controlled the politics of the
State, and Julian, who established an
other paper at San Diago. Mr.. Piper
became a householder and drifted into
banking, and has made n fortune of
ii 100000. He is bachelor. He began
politics with the Northern or Broderick
wing of the California Democracy, and
regards Broderick as the ablest public
man who has yet appeared on the coast.
