of the vote of Louisiana was the subject of de-
liberation; that Wells was anxious to enter into

An interesting test has just been made ON the
stage Of Mcvickers Theater, Chicago, of a new
ly-invented freproof preparation for stage

stanty when iesnited and burned freely; but.

quarter inch blow-pipe of gas, would not even
ignite at the ordinary application of fire, and
would not blaze under any circumstances.

guard will thus be afforded against the occur
