any electric light. The next development Of
the electric candle by M. JAblocbkoff was to
deGude it of its outer casing, leaving merely
the double wick with a strip of the insulating
compound between the carbon points, which
terminated at the bottom in metallic tubes, as
before. 1t was with the electric candle in
this form that the hall at the Magasins du
Louvre was Illuminated, as previously stated.
In either case only one electrical machine is
neede to produce a number Of lights. The
positive and negative wires are led from the
machine, and branch wires are simply conduc.
ted from them at the necessary points to the
candles. In this way NJ. Jablochkoff succeed.
ed in getting as many as eight candles to burn
at the same time in the circuit Of a single ma
chine of the ordinary kind, with alternating
currents.
Arrangements are being made in England to
light up one Of the East and West India Dock
COmpany'S docks in London upon NJ. JablOch-
kon's system, so that the loading and unload.
ing Of ships may be carried on by night 8s
well as by day when desirable. Experiments
were to have been primarily made in order to
test the system, but since the exhibition of the
electric candle at the Louvre NJ. Jablochk0ff
has still further improved his system, so that
the experiments have been postponed for the
completion of the details CT the Improvement.
In the new form Of candle the inventor dispen-
SEES with the carbon points which constituted
the wick, and uses only the outer surrounding
material answering 10 the talloW Of an ordi-
nary candle. We have already seen that this
compOund-to which NJ. Jablochkoff has
given the name of " Kaolin," which substance
enters largely into its composition-consumes
at the same rate as the carbon points. From
this material alone M, Jablochkoff now produ-
ces results superior in many respects to those
which he previously obtained. One point of
superiority consists in the fact that he is now
enabled to produce as many as SO constant
and uniform lights from a single machine Of
the ordinary kind, as was recently stated in o
paper brought before the Academy of Science
in Paris by NJ. Dumas. In short, N. Jabloch-
koff appears to have satisfactorily solved the
question of dividing up the electric light by a
method capable of practical application, of
insuring perfect steadiness in the light so divi-
ded, and Of distributing throughout a building
lights of varying degrees Of intensity. These
results point 20 a very wide application of the
system, which appears to possess special adj
vantages for the lighting up Of theatres and
other large buildings. The application of the in
vention is being brought out in Paris by a COM
pany Of which M. Denayrouze is the manager,

Suicide Mt Niagara Falls.

The recent suicide OF DR.. L. NJ. Stein,
of New York, at Niagara Falls, is thus
described: He hired hack and was
driven to the new suspension bridge,
where he discharged the coachman. He
then asked little boot.black to cross
the bridge with him. When they were
approaching the Canadian bank, he drew
out large roll Of bills from his pocket,
handed the boy dollar for his services,
and saying that he desired to enjoy the
deep water, started back for the center
of the bridge. Reaching this point he
stopped, threw down his shawl and hand
bag, seized the boy, saying: "You have
got to come, too" and attempted to scale
the railing of the bridge, and Jump with
the little fellow into the river below.
The boy seized hold Of a cable and
screamed wildly for assistance. The de-
mented doctor managed to climb over
the railing, but the boy succeeded in
tearing himself loose and started for
assistance. The boy says that the doc
tor stopped, and, taking hold of the stay
cable OF the bridge, attempted some
gymnastic performances, but as he was
old and infirm, he hung by his hands for
a second, and then dropped 100 feet be-
low. The suicide struck the surface of
the river feet first, disappeared for Il
second, rose to the surface, and was seen
floating for a long distance down the
river before finally disappearing from
sight,

American Girls.

This is what the american Register
tells the Parisians, perverted by the
libels of "L'Oncle Sam - "Your true
American girl is very charming
being. Like all creatures reared in
freedom, she possesses an untaught
grace and vigor of mind as we'll as of
body. She is no helpless puppet, as is
her European prototype, pulled about
by hidden wires, and kept perpetually
in box. Bred amid the healthful at
mosphere of social system of excep.
tional purity, respected, honored and
guarded from babyhood by the chivalrous
natures that surround her, she learns to
think and act Alright. 1t is well-nigh
impossible to over-estimate her influence
on our social system. Reared at her
side, the American youth grows up with
an instructive reverence for, and desire
to protect, helpless innocence and maid
emily purity. The salons to which she
lends the charm of her winning graces
and youthful sweetness are more potent
for good than we're the salons of Re.
camier or De Stael. The love that she
inspires is a young mans best shield
against temptation. She does not her.
self understand, the smiling maiden,
what good she has done and is doing
every day. Yet her white image has
waved back many youth from the
pathway Of temptation, her clear eyes
lent light to the comprehension of better
things"

A Novel Marriage.

The Rosshire Journal says: A would

getting the banns formally proclaim
ed in their respective parishes, applied

Cromarty to unite them in happy we'd.

ever, declined, for reasons assigned.
They proceeded to the registrar, strong
in the belief that he had some power
wherewith to make them one, but he
was from home. The remainder of the
day till ten p. NJ. WIS spent in parading
the streets, accompanied by two brides
maids, and in appealing to the sympa-
thies of crowds of boys, who enjoyed the
fun immensely. On Sunday another at
tempt was made at wedlock, the couple
this time taking matters entirely into
their own hands. Proceeding to the
Established church, they both stood up,
and, in the presence of the minister and
congregation, joined hands, the deter
mined husband loudly saying: $40
hannah, I take you to be my wife," the
bride making a similar declaration in an
equally audible tone of voice.

Almost Blewn Tn.

The chemical works of Charles Kuns.
Ter, corner of Flushing and Evergreen
avenues, Brooklyn, N. Y, was blown up
between eleven and twelve o'clock one
night recently, and John Rens, a
Deputy United States Marshal, came
very near losing his life. The works
had been seized the day before by one of
the United States marshals, on suspicion
that illicit whisky was being manufac-
tured there. The proprietor, Kunsler,
was arrested and locked up, and Rens
was watching the premises. just before
midnight he started on an exploration
made with lighted match. His explora-
tons we're short, for he suddenly saw
a blue flame, as of alcoholic vapor, rising
up about him and made his way to the
door in terror. He had got but few
feet from the works when there was a
loud explosion, and the timber, shingles,
and a pickle factory which Bernard
Brady owned in one part of the build
ing went up. The timbers and pickles
few all about the deputy marshal, but
he escaped uninjured. Brady, who was
very angry at his loss, raved round for
while and meeting the deputy told him
it would have been small loss if he had
gone up with the factory. The deputy
is of a contrary opinion. The loss is
estimated at sic, 900.

A correspondent Of q New York paper

nation concerning Sitting Bull, the In.

cd the college in its infancy thirty years
ago. This young Jacobs was Of Objib-
way birth, and was remarkably intelli.
gent lad, with ambition to become a
"big Iniun." He disappeared from Fort
Garry about 1863. When asked by the
police officer if he recollected anything
about Fort Garry, Sitting Bull laughed
heartily, and said he knew the principal
people there, among others, Donald A.
Smith, the Hudson Bay factor; James
sutherland, and Father Vary, now n
missionary at the Sault. He was also
well acquainted with the late James
Coss, Chief Justice of the Riel-Lepine
Government in 1869 20. indeed, he says
they were boys together. Ross was

yond those always found in the half

his plans for the future.

A Battle Between Ants.

G. G. Brown, in his "Camp and
Canoe Life in British Guiana" describes
a battle between tamrians Qarge ants,
which do not build nests, but occupy old
wasps' nests or hollow trees) and yacka-
mans, which are nest builders. The
scene of the battle was hollow tree, the
home of colony Of tamrians, surrounded
by patch Of white sand:
A band from column Of yackamans
crossed the sand, and climbing the tree,
entered the home of the tamrians, where
they were met by the inhabitants, and
the fight commenced; but as the former
poured in by thousands the fight was
carried on in the hollow tree, lasting for
about quarter of an hour. During
that time many ysekamans were seen
coming out of the hole carefully bearing
their wounded comrades, some of whom
were lifeless, and making off across the
sand in the direction taken by the main
column. Then soon all began to pour
out again, but these carried the dead
bodies of the unfortunate tamrians, of
which probably not one had escaped.
The band then marched off in long
line, and on their way had to ascend
steep rise in the sand, up which many of
them, who had lost leg or two, could
not climb, but kept rolling down. Thon
it was that the collective number ex-
bibited their wonderful sagacity. As
wounded one was struggling up, many
of its unloaded and unwounded COM
rades massed themselves together below
it, and as it gained inch by inch, they
advanced slowly in compact mass be-
hind, so that when it lost its footing and
rolled down, it did not go far before it
was brought up against their bodies.
Sometimes they almost showed it up,
and getting it safely to the top, made
off, and left it to plod along the level by
itself. This was not an isolated instance,
but was done repeatedly by separate
gangs of ants.

Peruvian syrup vs.. Alcoholic Tones.
1t has been desideratum with the medical
profession to prepare preparation OF iron less
Objectionable than any of those now in use,
which often produce unfavorable effects upon
tho system, especially when prepared without
alcoholic fluids.
In many cases of debility and convalescence
from disease, where tonic is indicated, wine,
brandy, porter, ETC., have been recommended
but these are OF very doubtful efficacy, to say
the least. Alcohol is mover digested, is ranked
among the diffusble stimuli, and is incapable
of affording nutrition. 1t creates generally an
unnatural excitement and arrangement of the
circulation, irritating the whole system by pre-
venting the blood from losing its carbon.
Again, how difficult it is to obtain an article APP
preaching to purity, almost all the wines,
brandiee, porters, ETC., being more or less
adulterated.
Such being the case with regard to the spirit
uous preparations of iron, and the alcoholic
drinks, of which any one can satisfy himself by
investigating the subject, an opportunity IL
now presented in the Peruvian Syrup, for the
trial of an article in general practice, which has
the very strongest recommendations from
medical and scientific men Of the highest
characters preparation which 80 happily COM
bines the protoxide of iron with the other con-
stituent parts that the effects incident to the
use of iron salts are entirely obviated.
For all cases in which iron or any tonic is
needed, this preparation is confidently believed
to be far superior to any other. 1t seems to
purify the very fountain Of health.

An Estate Wsrth u2,OOhOOO Dlvidev
Assssa Seventeen Wives aud Fsris

A special dispatch from Salt Lake
City says; Brigham Young's will was
read in the presence Of all his wives and
children and a few friends. Brigham
Young, Jr., Geo. O. Cannon and Albert
Darlington are named as his executors.
The estate is largely real estate, aud is
probably worth $2,OO0,O00. The will
was made four years ago, and his young.
est child, born of Mary VanCott, was
then three years old. Brigham Young
WAS the father Of fifty.six children, and
lett seventeen wives, sixteen sons and
twenty-eight daughters. The will aims
to make an equitable division of the
property between all the wives and chill.
dren, with no preference to any. Most
all of them have already had something
decided to them. On this valuation
was set, and it is to be charged to the
recipients us part of their share, though
not necessarily at the valuation he put
Oh it. That is to be equitably adjusted
when the estate is divided. upon the
youngest child coming of age. Mean
while the income is to go to the various
mothers according to the number Of their
children, and they can withhold it If the
children behave badly. All nre pro-
vided, for as far as their present needs
are concerned. His first wife and
Amelia nre given life interest in the
Amelia Palace-a large, modern, new,
fine house; but he is known to have
changed his mind about that, chiefly be-
cause they declined it for reasons best
known to thems lives, although nothing
in or out of the will has as yet come to
light showing it, and they are net other
wise provided for except by their share
of the income. Deceased held many
interests in trust for the church and for
individuals. His executors are directed
to turn them over properly. The church
is forbidden by law to hold more than
$50, 900 worth of property; and 30 it WIS
largely held by Brigham Young in trust.
His friends will not entertain the notion
that lie ever abused that trust. There
is no inventory Of the property on the
estate, and it is widely scattered. With
the country prosperous and full of
money, it would be worth twice the above
valuation. Recently Brigham Young
endowed an academy with lands at Provo
and another at Logan-the latter with
1900 acres. He had determined to
endow one at Salt Lake, but did not
live long enough to do so. A person
at the reading of the will, says, it seemed
to be satisfactory to all concerned. 1t
will be probated as soon as possible.
It will be wonderful if some dissntisfac-
ton does not creep in within the next
thirteen years.

There is more virtue in obscurity than

There are some people who, though

ority in discipline of their respective
soldiers.
