time is not far distant when II will attain to
supremacy as an article Of light, or pass out
Of use. It is one of those things that can
not long hang upon the peg Of doubt. Let
us mark its progress. II has already been
successfully employed for photographing by
night. Most of the public squares in Paris
and the large Mdgdsins, including the ldgd-
sin de LOorre, Mdgdsin de Bon Mdrche, aud
Others, are already lighted by electricity.
1t is now used in Austria as headlight on
locomotives, and II Is said that IL illu-
inmates the track at so great distance
ahead that the engineer discovers obstruc-
tions on the track In time to bring his train
to halt without difficulty and in time to
prevent disaster. II has been introduced
into several Of the largest railroad depots in
Paris, rs well as into some Of the principal
manufacturing establishments Of France.
Tho London Stereoscopic Company, in
Regent street, now lights up Its vast estab-
lishment with II, and the testimony Of the
London press Is that tho effect Of the light
Is good, the colored photographs in the
windows exhibiting their proper colors, rs
In daylight. There Is nothing either
CHASTITY or ghostly in the appearance of
the passers-by rs they traverse the food
of rndiance which falls on the footway.
The gaslights decidedly suffer and present
a dismal appearance on the street beyond
the range of the electric rays looking as
If plunged in some unusual gloom"
As to the economy Of this light II
Is represented in this establishment as
producing the equivalent of 1000 candles,
at n cost of only I'd. per hour, while gas Of
equal illuminating power would cost 3s Cd.
This fact being clearly established, all doubt
regarding the economy Of the article will
be removed. The proprietors OF the lagd-
sin de Lourre admit that the electric light
affords infinitely more illuminating power
at saving of 30 per cent over gas. At the
Chatalet Theatre, where the gas costs &c
francs an hour, the electric light costs only
IA francs. There is no doubt that the greater
the demand and the more widely this new
invention is introduced into use the cheaper
will be its price.
This is subject of general interest 1t
comes home to every household and bust
ness establishment in the land, and hence
all information relating to its utility and
economy should be spread before the coun-
try. 1t is an age Of progress, and whatever
tends to advancement in the direction oi
cheap light belongs TO the public.

AN OLD TIME RELIC. .-Thursday Mr..
r. Clifford, Of Well, Fargo & Co., came
into possession of $40 pold pieco of the
coinage of 1852. The sight of the old
coin recalls vivid recolections of the
"aush times" when coin bearing the
stamp of the U. S. Assayer constituted
the chief circulating medium of the State.
In 1850 foreign coins constituted in great
measure the bulk of money, and there not
being anything near enough for the pur-
poses Of trade most of the petty business
waa done with gold dust at SIG per or,
while the doubloons and dollars of Mexi-
co and Peru were the attractions of the
gambling tables. The want of coin was
SO severely felt that several private firms
commenced the coinage Of gold pieces,
usually of the denomination of s., which
passed readily in trade, until counterfeit
ers began to work, when the letters rs.
M. V. -" STANDARD Mint Value" were
no longer to be depended upon. Tn the
meanwhile Congress was being urged to
tblhbllSn u HlltlI, bIlQ dS u SOTI Oh COIiDFO-
mise an Assay Office was opened, and ten
and twenty dollar pieces, and "slugs" of
the value of 500 bearing the impress ofthe
Assay Office came into general use for the
purposes of commerce and trade. Con.
tainining less alloy than our government
coinage, the coins wore away much more
rapidly, and when the mint was finally
opened most Of them found their way
there. The coin was brought TO Mr..
Clifford by a Chinaman, who asked him
whether it was good, from which we infer
that the coin was found by the Celestial
gentlemen, who may have unearthed
more of them. The piece is considerably
worn, yet still weighs trihe more than
an eagle. 1t is the first coin OF the kind
we have seen outside brokers' Office in
over twenty years.

HOME NEWS.

Too BAD.-It is with feeling of the
utmost sorrow that we are compelled to
announce the prospective mining season
as complete failure. Yet such, we are
assured, is the indication of the signs OF
the times, and our position as a veracious
chronicler Of events-past, present and
future-makes it incumbent upon us to
perform that duty, no matter how un-
pleasant the indiction. "God tempers
the wind TO the shorn lamb, b," is an old and
familiar quotation, and upon this is based
the prediction of the weather wise that
the present Winter will be an exceeding
iy mild season and correspondingly
tame one for the mining interest. We
are told, with every assurance Of sinceri-
ty, that the fur and hair upon animals at
this time is much less than common at
this season, and that this certainly points
to mild weather, for if these animals were
expected to encounter severe storms ma
ture would have supplied them with
greater protection. Impressed with the
great logic of the above statements, we
at once began an exhaustive examination
of the dog and cat which form part of
our household, and were rejoced to find
that the supply of hair and fur respect
lively were amply sufficient to withstand
the most severe storms, and again we
allowed our hopes to lead US to the happy
conclusion that all was not lost, but on
the contrary the test Of this sign could be
relied upon as furnishing indisputabe
evidence of the approach of a wet Win
ter. But, oh, horror when we came to
examine the upper lips of the young men
about town-please don't mention tive
found the covering very, very light, and
ir some instances almost imperceptibe.
""Tis true IT'S pity; and pity It's, 'tis
true" The last hope of favorable sea-
son for mining has fed, with the single
exception of that oft repeated truth call
signs fail in a dry season." and generally
in all other seasons.

The Riphf MnIi.

We clip from the Atlanta Con-
stitution the following editorial
which shows how the action Of the
Democratic party is received else
where:
The Tennessee Democrats, after a
struggle that promised at one time
to be bitter, have finally nominated
a candidate for Governor. The
prospective chief magistrate is
one of the best men in the State.
While he refused to be candidate
and preferred his judicial position
to Gubernatorial hOnOrs, yet he was
chosen as the one man upon whom
all the elements of the very diversi-
fed Democracy of the State might
concentrate. His election is sure
and the future of Tennessee will
lose nothing in prosperity during
the time that Judge Marks serves
as the chief magistracy.
The disturbing element i'm Tenn
essee politics has been, for many
months, the subject Of the State
debt and the proper method of
dealing with it. High and low
taxes have been the slogans of the
two wings of the Democracy and
upon the question of which policy
should prevail, the party has been
upon the brink of serious, if not
fatal, division.
The position of Judge Marks is
not well defined upon these ques-
tions, but his position as a true and
tried Democrat is beyond question
his position as an honest and patri-
Otic citizen is equally beyond ques-
ton, and these things being true il
is well assured in advance that any
honest financial policy adopted by
the Legislature Of the State will
meet his hearty Endorsement.
Judge Marks is a gentleman Of
fine personal qualities, admirable
legal attainments and large expert
ence in public affairs. His name is
deservedly honOred in Tennessee
and we feel no doubt of his election
by a majority of the most fiattering
proportions.
The platform of the Tennessee
Democracy, already published in
these columns, was the production
OF Judge Marks pen and is every
way solid and admirable. 1t is the
pioneer note Of the fight in 1880 and !
the certain sound in favor of cur
rency reform which issues there
from will meet an hearty echo in
every Southern community. We |
the Tennessee Demo- !
Gratis upon their choice and bid them |
God speed
