lighted by this same electric system.
There is no danger whatever of fire
frsm it, which gives it an imIneasur-
able advantage over all other means of
illumination. The Paris engineer,
Gramme, and the chiefengincer,
Won Hefener Alteneck, of the firm of
Slemens.Halske, in Berlin, were the
first who constructed the electro-mag-
netic machines, by means Of which a
pleasing mechanical power is convert
ed, in a simple and practical manner,
into electric light. This invention is
one of the most remarkable Of modern
times.
Outdoor work can be carried on by
night as well as by day with this light,
as it expels the darkness and fills the
atmosphere with an almost sunlight
lustre. In the lighting of cities by
this new process, the economy, as COM
pared with gas, will be at least so per
cent. We are evidently on the eve of
as great revolution in lighting as
when gas superseded oil lamps and
tallow candles.

Business Feeling at Fall River.

The Fall River manufacturers gen.
orally believe that their hardest ex-
periences are over, and look for live
ly spring trade. Though the expense
of running by steam and the large
amount necessary to pay the yearly in
terest ofcOstly and extensive mile have
eaten up what little profit they have
made during the past three years, the
present business Of nearly all the cor
poratiOns Is remunerative, and the
prospect is OF a steady increase. The
drought during the past winter has
stopped many mills which are depend.
eHt entirely upon water, and the grow
ing confidence in satisfactory solu.
ton of the political situation has Gre
ated demand for cloths which the
Fall River manufacturers are prepared
to take advantage of. The present
production of all the Fall River mills
amounts to $3.50, 900 yards per week,
on which there is a net profit of S5S,,
500, and prices show signs OF improv.
ing. 1t is a noteworthy fact that,
though Fall River manufacturers made
the hrst export of goods to England
and can compete with her in foreign
countries, the home demand is at
present so great that they cannot at
present follow up the advantage, and
this branch of the trade is at present
practically monopolized, as far as New
England is concerned, by Rhode Island
makers. Every indication points to
the fact that the hard times in the dry
goods trade are over, and it is fair to
suppose that this new and encouraging
state of things will extend to other
lines of manufacture also.-Boston
Journal.

A New and Brilliant Light for Cities

A new invention, OF simple and
practical nature, has of late been sue
cessfully applied in several places in
Germany and France. The system
consists of electric candles, or sticks
of charcoal, surrounded by isOlating
matter, which gradually consumes,
leaving the charcoal fire like n wick,
which slowly melts away under the
brilliant glow of electricity. With
two such candles, light equal to that
of one hundred gas jets may be
thrown Oh a street. An electro-mag-
netic machine can keep burning twen-
ty of those electric candles. The cost
is about half that of gas, and the light
is of the brightest and purest kind.
The Erlelder Zeitung gives the follow
ing account, by an eyewitness, of the
working of this mode of lighting in
the machine factory of the brothers
Nicer, at Gladbach
The great building was enveloped
in total darkness when we entered.
Soon after one of the proprietors
lighted the small developing apparat-
us, in size not longer than thirty
inches, and in height not more than
sixteen inches. AS soon as it was set
in operation by a small steam power
with which 1t was connected by u belt,
the immense machineroom was in
simultaneously lit up as bright as day,
At the entrance of the same there was
to be seen only one lamp, at height
of fifteen or sixteen feet, which gave
out most brilliant and steady light.
1t was so clear that the finest shades
of indigo.dyed silks could be easily
distinguished. The electric light was
distributed in such a manner, through
the agency Of mirror, that long
stay in the room in nowise injuriously
affected the eyes. On going into the
garden, an electric lantern, suddenly
lighted, illuminated the whole neigh
borhood to such a degree that at a
hundred feet very fine print could be
read, and at two hundred and fifty
feet larger and ordinary characters
we're plainly legible. OF the wonder.
ful properties Of this electric light we
had the clearest proof, and we were
further pleased to learn that in this
establishment the cost is estimated at
a fourth TO a sixth of gas.light. In
large rooms, halls, public squares and
streets, the electric light before long
is sure to take the place Of gas as an
Illuminating agent. In France it is
rapidly wing in favor, and is in
operation in forty establishments, The

PATHS Caux.

PATHS contemplated divorce has oc-
casioned a food OF gossip concerning
the Marquis de Caux. The marquis
first met the diva at the grand concert
given by the emperor Napoleon, in the
palace of the Tuilleries in January,
1865. There was the emperor in the
very zenith of his popularity and pow
er, and the empress in all her beauty
literally covered with diamonds. As
the imperial party were departing an
ecuyer who stood behind them offered
to escort Adelina to her carriage. This
gentleman was the Marquis de Caux,
a descendant of one Of the few old no
BILE French families which had become
reconciled to the empire. On the fol.
lowing day the marquis came with a
splendid pair of diamond earrings
and a superb bracelet. In spite, how
ever, of the kindest attentions, the
flowers and gallantries the marquis
showered upon her, Patti conceived for
him an antipathy almost invincible.
But the marquis persisted in his at
tentions, and contrived in one way or
another to be forever by her side. If
she drove on the Bois de Boulognc,
and stopped her carriage to take lit.
tie promenade, he would be sure to be
on the same promenade, and would
find way to approach her. When
she was invited to ball or a dinner

riage, and all brilliant offers, too. All
of them she declined in succession, in
timating that she desired to live only
for her art. Finally, at a concert, the
empress approached her and asked,

THE SEA BOILS.
An Aquatic Volcano in the Sandwich
Islands AStonishes the Natives.

The Honolulu Gazette of February
2Sth contains the account of re.
markable submarine volcano outbreak
in Kealakakana bay, near the en-
trance to the h1rbor. The natives
report that the eruption occurred at 3
o'clock on the morning of the 9th,
appearing like innumerable red, blue
and green lights. In the afternoon
several boats visited the place of
eruption, cruising over the most active
part, where the water was in a state
of peculiar activity, boiling and ap,
pearing as if passing over rapids, or
very much like the water at the He'll
Gate of New York. Blocks of lava
two feet square came up from below,
frequently striking and jarring the
boats. As the lava was quite soft no
harm was done. Nearly all the pieces
on reaching the surface were red hot,
emitting steam and gas strongly sulr
phurous, and rumbling noise was
heard like that of rocks in a freshet.
The cause, no doubt, was by the
eruption of lava from 8 submarine
crater, which is supposed to be a crack
or two on the line of rupture extend
ing at least a mile from the shore.
Another rupture, doubtless q contin-
uation of the submarine fssure, was
traced inland from the shore nearly
three miles, varying in width from a
few inches TO three feet in some places.
The water was seen pouring down into
an abyss below before the severe shock
of the earthquake was felt by those
living at Kaowloa and Kell. During
the night of the eruption, which must
have preceded the outbreak, it was
quite severe, but no damage was
