rs ID Earnes Is 10 Real!

The Conservative peace loving ele-
ments of-she country are staggered 70
understand what Hayes means, and
what will be the result of his Southern
policy. One day we are hopeful and
the next in doubt Hayes, himself
and a portion of his Cabinet are in
earnest and mean well, but it is equally
evident that the old leaders of the Re-
publican party are conspiring to make
his peace policy prove failure. They
have:brought such influences to bear on
HAYES as to make him falter, waver.
and delay at every step, and
delay produces mistrust, fear and
failure. While the President has order
ed troops from the State House
South Carolina, il is yet given out tho
they are to be held in reserve at a con
venient distance to back Chamberlain
should Hampton crowd him too heavy
If this is a fact, his order Withdrawing
troops Is mere mockery. II Is laugh
ing at the misfortunes of brave PEG
pie. 1t is adding insult to injury.
In Louisiana the view is even worse
The Commission sent down there
composed of four Republicans and
Que Democrat, is trying to effect II
compromise, aud the propositions arr
ali one sided-in favor of the Repub
licans. 1t does look like they are
trying to accomplish by strategy an1
compromise what Grant had the cour
age and nerve to do by force. The
people of Louisiana are sick of CON
promises, aud want permanent
peaceful, stable government, and will
have nothing less.
The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1877-04-13

Another move is on foot to induce
Canada 10 join the United States, aud
one strange part of the situation l.
that while few in Canada desire it. .
considerable portion of England abSo
lutely favor it.
The great argument used is that the
Canadians would at once obtain all The
benefits Of that reciprocity Of trade
which they so much need and have 50
often negotiated for. and the protection
of their manufacturing industries The
burden of taxes iis somewhat heavier
iu the United States, but no great dill
ference.
The political changes required BY
annexation would not be very great,
as the Canadians lige in reality under
quite as liberal Republican rule as
We do. The people Of Canada have
always been remarkably slow in favor
ing any move to join the United States
because they like their own Republic
better. Besides, they are heartily
loyal to Great Britain, and proud Of
being British subjec's. This aunexa-
ton scheme will BOT be accomplished
fer years. perhaps never.

TENNESSEE has reduced her taxes
from 10 to 10 cents. This, in view o..
tie fact that she is in debt twenty
seven million dollars, is regarded
population. Kentucky is out OF deb,
has over one million surplus on inter
est, and pays 10 cents. The scheme
Of reputation is blight upon Ten
nessee, and will haug 10 her and hel
children like the curse of Mississippi
If the State can repudiate, why may
not the individual? Aud will not the
individual citizen copy an exampl,
made honorable by the State? Upon
what principle of right or equity cat
the State compel the citizen to pay
dollar for dollar when she herself Won
do il?

truth which has not yet, in the pro

SCIENCE
MOTION AND HEAT.

NJ. Olivier lin the Journal des
Debats) gives the following expert
ment in illustration Of the conversion
of motion into heat: One end OF
square bar Of steel, in this instance
Is nm. X 70 or 50 Gen., is held by one
hand in the middle and pressed
strongly against a rapidly revolving
emery wheel, by which means the
extremity so applied becomes consld-
cradle heated. The hand at the MD
die of the bar does not feel any change
of temperature, but that at the other
extremity is soon obliged to let go,
the temperature rising to the point OF
burning the skin. M. Olivier
thus explains this effect, which ap-
pears paradoxical at the first glance.
The heat that burns the hand is not
generated at the other extremity OF
the bar and transmitted from thence,
butt is produced directly at the place.
Movements and heat being synonymous
the movement destroyed by the hand
at the outward extremity Of the bar
by the stoppage of the vibrations IS
converted into heat, while, there
being an interval of repOse at the
middle of the bar, no heat is perceived.
A curious feature of the experiment
is that at the outer extremity the
thermometer does not show any
exceptional temperature, because the
!! thermometer does not stop the ylbra
ton. To produce the burning effect
the hand should grasp the end OF the
| bar with force enough to arrest the
movement.

BLASTING BY ELEcTRlcITY.

Blasting by electricity. one of the
latest practical developments of
science. is being genertlly utilized.
The advantages are great saving OF
explosives. safety, and protection OF
life. economy Of capital and time. and
overcoming obstacles that nothing
else will, such as firing under any
quantity of water. sinking or driving
in soft sandstone. granite splitting,
roofing up trees, blasting Stag, etc.
On Saturday, June Is, gigantic
explosion was arranged in the granite
auarries Of Messrs. Ellis and Evrard,
at Bardon Hill, near Leicester, by
Messrs. Atkin and John Harris, OF
Nobel's Explosive Company; SIX holes
being put in, averaging a depth OF ~
feet, each hole being charged with 10
lbs. of dynamite, and exploded with

had most marvellous effect. the
whole quarry having the appearance
of being rent as by an earthquake.
Huge blocks of granite were tum Dled
out, and upon careful examination
and measurement it was computed
that 1850 tons had been dislodged
and thrown into the bottom OF the
quarry. This practical demonstration
