Heating houses BY wholesale.

A theory which has frequently been
before the public of late years, and which
relates to an important question of do
solved at Loekport, N. Y, and in favor of
the theory. The matter refers to the heat
ing of buildings by wholesale instead of
singly, as is now the custom. The disad-
vantages of the present system are too
well known to require enumeration
Large expense, inconvenience, and dam
gers of fires are the chief objections, and
any plan that is likely to diminish these
features will be gladly welcomed by the
public. According to a Lockport paper,
a large school building, the largest hall
in the town, with other rooms in the same
building, and forty large dwellings, are
all heated by steam made in a single
boiler five feet by sixteen in size, and be-
sides this two steam engines, one of them
more than half mile from the boiler
house, are run by steam from the same
boiler. About three miles of steam mains
have been laid, extending through fifteen
streets, and supplied with steam at pres
sure of thirty pounds to the inch, The
total space warmed by this single boiler
is more than one million cubic feet. The
originator of this system claims to have
proved that district of four square miles
can be economically warmed from one
central point. The company lay the pipes
in the streets, and collect from their Gus
toners the expense. of laying the service
pipes from the curbstone. The style and
expense of the radiators in the houses is
determined by the taste or means of the
householders. The steam supplied by
this company may be put to the follow
ing practical I[uses: "The warming of
dwelling houses; the cooking of food
the washing and drying of clothes; the
running of steam engines, and the extin-
guishment of fires. Both pure dry steam
for heating purposes, and hot water from
condensed steam for laundry purposes,
are delivered in every dwelling. The ap
paratus in each dwelling is under ready
and perfect control. The condensed steam
furnishes to each house an abundant sup
ply of pure and soft water" The cost o
heating buildings in this manner is no
given, but it is probably much less thar
the ordinary expense.

Pen,tentIary Management.

We should think the Democrats of the
Ohio Legislature would be sick about this
time of their effort to make out case
against the management of the penIten-
tiary. The only witnesses they have
produced to testify as to the cruelty or
neglect are ex-convicts or discharged of
ficials. 1t is astonishing how much SYM
pathy some Democratic legislators can
work up for the criminals who are sent to
the penitentiary. Most of these are among
the worst men in the country, whose oath
is no better than their word, and neither
of which would be accepted as evidence
against an ordinary citizen in any court
of justice. Yet their statements before
the committee are published to the coun-
try as evidence against the character of
honorable men.
We suppose that most criminals would
claim they are badly treated and poorly
fed, but they are sent to the penitentiary,
not to be treated as guests at a hotel or
gentlemen of leisure, but to be punished
for their crimes. Perhaps if punishment
were more severe than it is, and there
were less sentimental sympathy outside
for convicted scoundrels, the latter would
be more careful not to get back; yet
many of them are convicted the second,
third, and fourth time Their disposition
to commit crime is stronger than theiI
fear of the penitentiary, with all its al
legged horrors.-Ci Cincinnati Gazette.

First Use of the New sIlvor polar.

After full consideration and consulta-
ton with members of both houses of Con-
gress, the Secretary of the Treasury has
determined that the first silver dollars to
be issued will be used only in exchange
at par for gold coin, or for the purchase
of silver bullion at the market price. He
does not feel at liberty to use them to pay
for current expenses until the amount
coined is sufficient to furnish all alike
without discrimination, nor does he deem
it expedient at present to exchange them
for United States notes, or to use them in
the payment of interest on the public
debt until the amount coined is sufficient
to enable him to doso impartially. There
fore, they will at present be used for the
purchase of silver bullion at market rates.
The silver certificates will soon be ready
for issue, and ar e of the form of bank
notes, engraved in the best manner, and
printed on bank note fiber paper.

The Enquirer's correspondent who
was detailed to give high coloring to
prison horrors as related by discharged
guards and ex-convicts, has not been es-
pecially successful in the light of the leg
islative investigation now going on, and
has started his mud machine in a new
channel. He now processes to have in
formation of a scandalous state of affairs
in the female department of the prison,
and his last letter presents charges intend
ed to seriously affect the character of di-
rectors, guards, etc. He does not offer a
single name to substantiate his insinua-
tions, but leaves the public to divide their
suspicious among large number of per-
sons who have been and are now connect
ed with the institution. The correspond
ent was sent for to testify before the in
vestigating committee on the charges that
were contained in previous letters, but he
excused himself on the ground that he
could not enlighten the committee. In
stead of coming himself he sent the names
of parties who gave him material for his
sensations. If the legislative committee
intends to follow the inquiry to the full
bent of the Enquirer's enterprise, the
correspondent ought to be interviewed
severely. Columbus journal.

The President and the Veto OF the
silver Bill.

We would have been glad if the Presi-
dent could have conscientiously signed
the silver bill, yet we cannot but concede
his integrity, his manly bearing and his
pluck in sending in veto message, as
result of his convictions of duty. The
prompt passage of the bill over the veto
by Congress will avoid all damage which
would have been caused by the delay re-
sulting from it. The President will proba-
bly, gain popularity and personal strength
in the East by vetoing the bill, while his
fruitless action will do very little damage
in the West, in which region men of all
parties feel assured of his honesty and
courage, even if they differ from him in
opinion. On the whole we think it will
not be very difficult to hold this Admins.

In the Bowsher trial at Chilncothe
Judge Minshall, in charging the jury laid
down a simple proposition covering the
insanity defense. The jurors were in
formed that they were not called upon to
decide whether the mans mind was en-
tirely sound or not, but whether, at the
time he committed the act, he understood
the criminality thereof, and was capable
of judging between right and wrong.
This was plain enough for and jury, and
those who have read the reports of the
testimony will not be surprised at the
readiness with which the ''eleven con-
trary devils" voted for conviction. The
other juror was not long in coming to
the same view. The verdict, under the
instructions, was not in conflict with eX-
pert testimony to the effect that Bowshel
had been mentally diseased during his
life Columbus Journal.

Benefit of Machinery.


That the condition of the industrial
classes has been materially improved by
machinery is demonstrated in many diff
terent ways-cheap furniture, wearing
apparel, etc., and employment for those
who, years ago, could find no field. The
sewing machine itself has been blessing.
In olden time there were few branches of
employment open for women outside of
home duties, and a poor man with fam
lily of girls could hardly struggle through.
To-day, thanks to the improvements in
machinery, poor mans family can all
help him, and Tighten his load. The cry
of agitationists, that the laws are in favor
of the capitalists and manufacturers, is
seen at once to be false, when one looks
around and sees necessaries, and even
luxuries, within the reach of almost every
one, thanks to the different improvements
that enable capital to manufacture so
much cheaper than formerly.
Where is there a mechanic who would
be willing to go back to the early days of
machinery and wages, and to live like
the workingman of old? 1t is true that
all these benefits are not derived from
patents; but, as the genius of invention
has progressed, so has the world advanced.
And when we see the workingman of to-
day, after his days work, amusing him.
self, or reading at the libraries, and in
dress and appearance the equal of any
man, one is forced to the conclusion that
the condition of the industrial classes of
America has changed materially for the
better.
There are only two classes of people
who are against the patent laws, and who
would like to see them abolished. One
is the rich man, who would like to get the
poor mans ideas for nothing. The other
is the ignorant, bigoted communist, who,
because he has not brains enough to in
vent anything himself, and having moth
ing to lose, not even ideas, would like to
benefit by other mems brains and energy,
or pull all down to the same level, as
governments rarely ever adopt an inven-
ton during the lifetime of the inventor.

You CAM Cure a Drunkard whilst a
Slave to his Pipe.

Young man, before you light that cigar,
or pipe, stop and consider what you are
doing Think, for an instant, that you
never saw drunkard that did not use to-
bacco-ninety-ni in a hundred. That
drunkenness on distilled liquors and this
habit were about eontemporaneous, and
began the world together. That dram
shops and tobaeco-shops are one and the
same. That all the knaves, pickpockets,
vagabonds and highway-robbers are
smokers and ehewers. Not every man
that uses tobacco indulges in either of the
above named vices, but every person who
indalges in the above named vices does
use tobacco in some form.
Tobacco, by wasting saliva, parching
the throat and inflaming the chest, Gre
ates thirst for strong drink, and paves
the road to downright drunkenness; low,
vulgar and vicious physical habits and
corresponding moral habits cluster to-
gether. They bear kindred relation to
each other, and generally appear in fam
lily groups. Rum and tobacco have long
been associated. They may certainly be
called twfn-brothers-nay, more apprO-
priately twin-devils; and not these two
evils only join their hands; you can safe
ly add profanity and gambling. How our
heart swells within US, as we every day
and everywhere see men, boys and chill
dren; yes,7 mere children indulging in
this nerve-prostrating, mind-bennmbing,
soul-paralyzing drug-this fieshy, ungod-
ly lust. As a narcotic, it is indued with
energetic, poisonous properties, produc-
ing, when administered even in small
doses, nausea and vomiting, cold sweats,
universal tremor, with extreme muscu-
lar debility. And now, young man, break
the bands of this vile and degrading SER
vitude, and no longer let your spirit be
in bondage to the flesh. Let the power of
this higher nature come to the rescue and
not finch from the dreadful conflict till
you shall gather victory over your phys
ical being, and the body shall yield to a
quiet submission of the soul.

add my testimony to the great num-
Der you have already received in ia
vOF of your great and good medicine,
VEGETINE, for / do not think enough
can be said in its praise; for l was
troubled over thirty years with that
dreadful disease, Catarrh, and had
such bad coughing spells that il
would seem as though 1 never could
breathe any more, and FEGETTNE
has cured me; and do feel TO thank
God all the time that there is so good
a medicine as VEGETINE, and also
think it one of the best medicines
for coughs, and weak, sinking feel
ings at the stomach. and advise
every body to take the VEGETINE, for
] can assure them it is one OF the best
medicines that ever was.
