URANINE.-This is the most re.
Gently discovered, and perhaps the
most remarkable, of all the coal tar
or anlline group of coloring sub:
stances, now so extensively used
for the adorment of The finest fabrics.
Uranine is said by chemist, to be the
most highly fluorescent body known
to science. Its coloring power is
astonishing; single grain will i'm
part a marked color to nearly five
hundred gallons of water.
A most interesting experiment.
which anybody may try, consists in
sprinkling few atoms of Uranine
upon the surface of water in a glass
tumbler. Each atom immediately
sends down through the water what
appears to be a bright green rootlet:
and the tumbler soon looks as if il
were crowded full of beautiful
plants.
We are indebted for examples of
the color to the editors of the Sc;eu.
t.tc American, who are sending out
specimens, free of charge, to all their
readers. The subscription, to the
paper is $500 for a year, or SLIGO
half year; and better investment
for the money could hardly be
named.

The bar-room journalist stands in
the stores with his back to the stove
and tells how he could run news
paper; how he could be as indeped.
ent as hog on ice, and call things
By their right names; how expose
corruption in high places; how he
would write good common sense
and none of your frivolous try-and-
be funny stuff. Then he criticises
other peoples methods of conduct
ing newspapers, and just wishes
some one would give him chace to
show his journalistic ability. The
way to cure one of these chaps is to
get him to write very sensible ar
ticle every day for a week. Before
the week is out he is sure to be
pumped dry, and will cape for an
idea worse than a chicken does.-

this part OF the world, in evidence OF which
fact the tournament REMAINS the principal
recreation, not to say occupation, OF our
gallant youth. On Friday last there was q
spirited contest OF arms at Mr.. Wallace
Birds, near the Junction, IN which q num-
Der OF bold knights took part. The donors
OF the occasion were ad5udged as follows:
The first prize was won By Mr.. III. T.
Cosby, the Knight OF No Hope; the second
