Blecvric Candles--A New Thing.

From the San Francisco Call
Among other battles at which one assists
this moment in France is that between
electric candles and gaslight. Yesterday
evening visited this peculiar candle man
ufactory. 10 the Avenue des Nilliers, the
director of which is a Russian engineer,
and also the inventor, NJ. Joblockoff.
Now, as Noltaire observed, light comes
from the n8rth The laboratory is hung
with pictures and colored stuffs, which can
be as easily distinguished in their shades
as If 10 full MONDAY. The candles Fave
the same ratio to gas and oil lamps as
sun to moonlight. The Inventor poured
some glasses Of water on the flame of his
dips, but they burned away all the same.
They emit no smoke, and consequently
cannot darken objects, nor any heat-35O
times less than an ordinary candle-hence
books will not tall out Of their bindings,
nor tapestry turn into black snuff There
can be DO fire. no explosions, and the light
can be laid 90 some three to fifteen times
cheaper than gas or oil light. The light
does net tremble cr twinkle much, and
none at all if it passes through a globe
slightly Opaque. The candle is composed
Of two cylindrical sticks of charcoal, sep
arated by preparation of sand, ground
glass and kaoliD; magnetic electro ma
chine furnishes the current, which flows
from one point to the other of the chorcoal
rods. Each candle burns three hours,
and the extinction of one lights up another.
We are more than on the eve of great
discovery; but as the proof of the pudding
is in the eating Of it. the invention viii

Than the complexion of person becomes
who omits to regulate his liver when that i'm
poriant gland grows neglectful OF its secret
i've function. Moreover, the stomach, under
such circumstances, becomes disordered, the
bowels are restricted, pains in the side and
between the shoulder blades are felt, the
head aches, and the nervous system shares
the general arrangement. This concatena'
ton of evils is, however, easily remediabls
with that matchless regulating tonic, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which insures the
secretion and flow of healthy bile, acts gen
tly but etiectually upon the bowels, and re-
moves every symptom of nervous or digest
i've trouble. The result is that renewed tone
is given TO the entire system; the sallow
haggard appearance of the face TO which
biliousness gives rise is superseded by the
glow Of health, and the frame gains in sub

Two Scorcn clergymen, one a mem.
Der of the English church and the Other
of the Scottish Episcopal church, have
taken the stand that the theater, if right
for their people, can not he wrong for
themselves. They attended hanqu at
given in Edinburgh about the lst OF
March in honor of theatrical manager,
and one of them made pleasant re.
sponsc to toast to the clergy. He
argued that if the theater had lost favor
in the eyes of good people, it was simply
because good people had deserted its
WALL. The people woull have amuse-
ments of some sort, and it was for the
clergy, by their presence, to keep those
amusements pure. The argument may
surprise American preachers who have
fallen into the habit Of denouucing the
tbeater, especially in their evening ser
mons to young people. One thing is
certain. IL the clergymen would go to
the theater occasionally their presence,
while i; might not elevate the drama,
it would render their criticisms from the
pulpit more intelligent.

WAsn . 40 entering upon the duties OF

II Columbia, South Carolina, n detachment
OF United States infantry. Finding them in
that place, have thought IL proper to delay
a decision Of the question OF their removal
until | could consider and determine
whether the condition Of Affairs in that safe
is now such as TO require or justify coniinued
occupation of the statehouse. In my opinion
there does not now exist in that state such
domestic violence as is contemplated by the
constitution as ground upon which the mil
itary mower of the national government may
be invoked for defence OF the state. There
are. il is true. grave and serious disputes as TO
the rights Of certain claimants to the chief
executive Office Of that state, but by these are
TO be settled and determined, not by the ex-
ecutive OF the United States, but by such or
derly and peaceable methods as may be pro-
vided by the constitution and law of the
state. feel assured no resort TO violence is
contemplated in this quarter, but that on the
contrary the disputes in question are to he
settled solely by such peaceful remedies as
the constitution and law of the state provide.
Under these circumstances, and in this con
hdence, now deem 1t proper to take action
in accordance with the principles announced
when entered upon the duties of the pres
idency. You are, therefore, directed to see
that proper orders are issued for the removal
Of said troops from the ststehouse TO their
