recorded-visited the Paris ENhibl-
ton. The want of a sufficient nun :
bor of rcfreshment stalls was great.-
ly fclt by tho public. Tho expon~
sive restaurants arc absolutely Of
no service to the bulk Of Sunday
visitors Cakes and ole are the
things loudly called for-cheap
drinks for adults, and rolls and bis.
cults for famishing children.
The Rev. Vosburgb, of Jersey
City, who has just boen acquitted
of an attempt to poison his wife,
administered communion in his
, church on Sunday, and in the
evening preached from the text,
"These arc they which came out of
great tribulation, and have washed
their robes and made them white
in the blood of tho Lamb" He
alluded to the verdict in his late
trial, upon which there wns hearty
applause, which he accepted, he
said, not for himself, but in behalf
of justice.
A special dispatch to tho Calves
ton (Texas) Ne'es, dated June 6,
says: Last evening the revolu"
! tionary pickets attacked the out
posts at New Laredo, and. after
exchanging q few shots, retired.
One WAS killed and another wounds
ed on the government side. The reb.
el loss is unknown. General Agila,
the Lerdist commander, is now
! operating here alone, with about
two hundred and fifty men, mostly
cavalry. His force is increasing
daily.
! On last Thursday morning
; fire broke out in the five story
building of Colgate & Co.'s extcn-
sive soap factory in Jersey City, N.
j., and the flames spread with
rapidlty, threatening the entire de-
struction of the factory. The fire
department was called out, and
fow minutes later an explosion oc~
Cured in the upper stories, proba-
bly, from chemicals, throwing down
the rear walls. The two main
buildings, with costly machinery,
were destroyed, involving u loss
estimated at fully 100000. Over
three hundred men are thrown out
of employment.
A description is given, in LES
Mondes, of an improved device for
rapidly cooling liquids-invented by
NJ. Toselli. It consists simply OF
cylindrical cup for holding any
liquid into which may be plunged
an inner goblet, shaped like an ill.,
vertel truncated cone, and having
lid which rests on the outer cup.
Putting one hundred and fifty
grains of nitrate of ammonia in the
inner goblet, filing it with cold
water, and stirringi it 80 as to hasten
the solution, the temperature Of the
outer lid is soon reduced at least
twelve degrees c., or twenty-five
degrees Fab. The salt may be used
for this purpose m Indefinite period,
by merely spreading il on u plate
after each trial. and exposing it to
the sun until it crystalizes anew. NJ.
Toselli prepares q salt which will
lower the temperature (itty degrees
Fab in the warmest count.ies.

Before an insurance mems con-
vention in Syracuse WAS read paper
in which it was asserted that purely
accidental fires ore very rare, and
that over one-half Of all conhagra>
tions are the result of incend;arism.
This is startling assertion, which
is often repeated. 1t was sustained,
by other members of the convention
who said that one half the amount
p'id ont by the companies was to
men who had set their property on
fire. OF all crimes incendiarism is
one Of the most difficult to prove.
The subject continues to be the
greatest problem in fire insurance
company Offices.
Charlotte Cushman left her for
tune to her nephew. Some Young
men in such case might have
proven nngrateful and soon forgot~
ten their benefactress. He, how.
ever, has erected an eleven dollar
monument to her memory.
