Lighting Up the Sea,

The floating fireworks now used at
sea in case of sEipwrecks have been
made in the form of a bomb that may
be thrown from a mortar. The bomb
is thrown into the water at distance
from the ship or shore battery. and
takes fire Immediately on falling in the
water, and burns with an intense white
flame. 1t is only necessary to make a
small hole in the shell sufficient to adj
nit the water, and it flames the mo-
ment it is wet. For this reason it can
not be eXtinguished, and the bomb
floats and lights up the sea for long
distance around it, plainly showing the
position of distressed OF hostile ships or
boats.

The Cnre for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossip: Simply,
culture. There is great deal of gossip
that has no malignity in it. Good-nat-
ured people talk about their neighbors
because, and only because they have
nothing else to talk about. As we write,
there comes to US picture of family
of young ladies. We have seen them at
home, We have met them in galleries of
art, we have caught glimpses of them
going from book store or a library. with
a fresh volume in their hands. When
We meet them they are full of what they
have seen and read. They are trimming
with questions. One topic of converse
ton is dropped only to give place to an
other, in which they are interested. We
have left them, after delightful hour,
stimulated and refreshed; and during the
whole hour not neighbours garden was
soiled by SO much as touch. They
knew something and wanted to know
more. They could listen as we'll as they
could talk. To speak freely of neigh
boris doings and belongings would have
seemed an impertinence to them, and, of
course, an improperly. They had no
temptation to gossip, because the doings
of their neighbors formed subject very
much less interesting than those which
grew out of their knowledge and culture.
And this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip is always either malic-
ious or ignorant. The one variety needs
change Of heart and the other change
of pasture. Gossip is always a personal
confession either of malice or imbecility,
and the young should not only shun it,
but by the most thorough culture relieve
themselves from all temptation to indulge
in it. 1t is low, frivolous and too often
a dirty business. There are country
neighborhoods in which it RACES like q
pest. Churches are split in pieces by it.
Neighbors are made enemies by it for
life. In many persons it degenerates in
to a chronic disease, which is partically
incurable. Let the young cure it while
they may.-,Scribner.

French Ingenuity.

ted Princess Metternich on her admira-

strong as they had been represented.
"Give what you will to French people, .
answered the princess, land / wager
they will make of it something pretty,
elegant and witty" "Well, princess. y
said the general, with scornful compla-
cency, "here is a white hair / find on
my uniform. l give it to you carte
blanche; send it to Paris The lady
accepted the challenge and sent the hair
straightway to Paris jeweler, telling
him that it WAS to be made into gift
for "a Prussian. A week afterWard she
received casket which she presented
to the general, saying ironically: pray
to God that your hair may not break
1t contained massive gold necklace,

Valuable Opinion.

A hitherto unpublished letter from
John Stuart Mill, on the subject of COM
blnation and wages, has been printed
in England. 1t is dated Avignon, Oct.
4, 1868, and is as follows: The work
ingmen at present find, or think they
find, that their attempts to obtain high
er wages by combination are thwarted
through their being undersold by for
eigners; and they are now trying
whether, by including the foreign ope-
ratiyeS in the combination, they can re-
move this obstacle. This seems to me
a natural experiment for them TO try,
and the last experiment of combination
for wages which remains for them to
make; and desire that they may try it
to the utmost, so that they may be con-
WINGED that whatever they cannot ac-
cemplish in that way they cannot hope
to accomplish at all. To the particular
question you ask. the following is my
answer: If combination to raise wages
is confined to a few branches of indus
try, or is only successful in a few, the
masters in those branches are able to
indemnify themselves by raising their
prices. But if there were Universal
trades union,' extending to all indus
tries, this could not happen. The mas
tiers would not then be able to raise
their prices. What enables them to do
so now is not theirSwn will to do it, but
the fact that they can remove their cap
ital to other employments in which
wages have not risen, and in which,
therefore, profits are higher; and this
transfer of capital, diminishing supply,
raises prices in the businesses which
capital is leaving. But if the rise of
wages affected all employments equally
no capitalist could benefit himself by
changing the employment of his capt.
tai. and he would be obliged, instead, to
submit to lower profits. Nor do see
any limit to this, except that if profits
fall so low as not to afford sufficient
motive for saving, and for exposing
savings to the risks of business, people
will cease to save, and wages will again
fall"

In their caucus, yesterday afternoon,
the Republican members of the House
of Representatives told one another that
the Potter resolution meant the ousting
af Hayes; resolved that it was revolution
ary and destructive; and agreed to resist
its passage in its present shape ''by all
the tfillibustering) means which are au-
thorized by the rules of the House. :"
The vote in caucus on this last point, we
are glad to learn, was not unanimous. 1t
would be very discouraging fact if all
the Republican members Of the House
were SO drunken with partisanship as to
be ready to enlist in such stupid and
reckless course.
