Skating On Artificial Ice.
Scientific American.

A skating rink, offering 10000 square
feet of artificial ice in one sheet, is in sue
cessful operation in this city, The pro-
jector, Mr.. Rankin,is is widely known In con-
nection with the ice trade, particularly in
west and south, where his machines for
producing ice are largely used. His pres
ent enterprise is notable chiefly for its mag
nitude, the area of ice produced being very
many times larger than anything of the sort
previously attempted. Something like nine
miles of gas piping are required for the cir
culation Of the refrigerating liquid, which
is pumped through the pipes after having
it's temperature sufficiently reduced in Q
freezing chamber some $50 feet long, in
which ice is liquified by means Of salt and
other solids. The principle involved is
simply that of the ice cream freezer. A
tight floor was laid over a surface 800 feet
by 80 feet; ON this floor y network OF pipes
was laid, aud the whole flooded by two or
three inches of water. On pumping the
refrigerating fluid through the pipes, the
water is frozen and kept SO cold that the
surface of the lce remains dry, though the
atmosphere of the rink is warmed by half a
dozen large furnaces. The project might
have been carriedout equally well and much
more proftably at midsummer, whom a
skating ring would have been more Of y
novelty. Mr. Rankin Informs us that the

What is 9 Thoroughbred. g

I'm reply to question as to the definition
of the term thoroughbred, the editor of
Wa1zacs's Monthly makes the following an
swer:
webster defines this word as bred
from the best blood which fails 10 convey
it's practical an technical meaning. No
breed of horses isstyled thoroughbred ex-
cept one particular breed or tribe that has
been bred for generations for running pur-
poses. Tae recorded performances and
blood of this breed have been preserved
for about 200 years and to be considered
thoroughbred a horse must trace through
all his lines to animals so recorded. The
English rule Is that he mnst trace through
all his lines to animals OF Eastern blood,
but in this country an animal that can
trace for six generations, without any adj
mixture, Is ranked al thoroughbred. For
q given animal TO be thoroughbred. his
two parents, his four grandparents, his
eight great dparents, 60, must all be
thoroughbred. Any admixture, or any
single cross, Of outside blood, destroys
the claim to be thoroughbred. Except
those descended directly from imported
English racs-horsss on all sides, there are
few strictly thoroughbred horses IN this
country. Soma of orr BEST race horses are
very far short of being thoroughbred.
Z .rha term il applied III the same sense
to other domestic animals, as shorthorns.

The Old and New French Republic
London Times.

The new President of the Republic
starts with many advantages. Europe has
no fear of the Republic as it had in 1848,
when the eyangelists of social and political
revolution spread terror from one end of
Europe to the other. The new govern
meDt is peaceful, and its institutions, as NJ.
Gambetta said, are not intended for ex-
port Fer the first time the present form
of government will have fair chance Of
life. The old Republic was cast in such
stormy days, and it was SO little steadied
by experience as to make the students of
it's history wonder. not that it fell SO soon,
but that it lasted so long. The second
Republic was called into existence by
small group of theorists, who began by
m aking the hazardous experiment Of es-
tablishing universal suffrage, aud some of
whom created a panic by their Socialistic
creed. Then the Assembly framed Con-
stitution which might seem to have been
almost designed for the purpose of putting
the institutions of the country at the mer-
cy of the President. The series of fatal
mistakes was Gro sned when the dictate of
fatal suffrage gave the place of Chief Mag
istrate ito Prince Louis Napoleon. The
situation is incomparably better to-day.
The country has shown by repeated votes
that it is content with the present Consti
tuition. The Senate is Republican. The
President is as consistent Republican as
any man in France. Thus, for the first
time, all the powers of the Government are
in the hands of its friends, and the reac-
tionary parties form but feeble opposi-
tion. 1t may be thought that the army is
still mysterious force. But if we may
trust all kinds of reports, the great mass
of the army has not the slightest inclina-
tion to be made the instrument of reaction.
The only danger which the present Con-
grass has really TO fear is the indiscretion
of its own friends Revolutionary expert
ments would soon make the peasantry
beckon for the Empire. But, for the first
time, the government is steadied BY the
classes which form the backbone of genu-
inc conservatism. The so-called conserva-
tism of people who would set up another
monarchy, revive the old political powers
of the clergy, and hold out territorial hopes
to the Pope, is only revolution in disguise 1,
but the support of the peasantry, OF the
middle class, and OF the great traders, 10
an anchor of real conservatism, and on
such stability the government can count.

Priests and Indians.

The principal witness in the Reno ingui-
IT case at Chicago was Girard, the celebra-
ted scout and friend of Custer. During
the proceedings, he described plan for the
gradual civilization of the Indians, and then
added that this should be carried out either
by the army Or the Catholics priests. He
said: 6 think it should be left to the mil
1tary department.. I don't see how else it
could be done, unless it was put in the
hands Of the Catholic missionaries. They
are the only ones that can do oanything with
the Indians. In the first place, their church
ceremonies catch the eyes and the minds of
the redskins. There is something grand
and imposing in them which make deep
impression ON the Indian character. Then,
again, the missionaries are hard-working
men Of blameless liyes-men who seem to
labor for nothing but the good of those
ameng whom their lot is cast. The Indians
know this, and they deeply respect the
Catholic missionaries, who are known to
all the tribes as the Black Gowns"
To show the influence of the priests over
the Indians, MIR. Girard relates several an
ecdetes. On one occasion the Berthold In
dians had suffered from drought. They
went to Father De Smet and entreated him
to say a mass for rain. The father prom
lsed to do SO if they would cease traficing
IN liquor, and devote their hearts and the
whole of one day to the Great Spirit. The
promise was given, the mass was said, and
before night it commenced to rain, and con-
inued raining four days. After that,up to
the time of his death, Father De smet was
looked upon as a big medicine man, and his
word was law with the tribe. There are
few things In history more hideous than the
story of the recent massacre of the Chey-
enne Indians at Camp Robinson by our
troops. If this is a specimen Of the militia
~ management of the Indians, the country
will want no more of it. Mr.. Girard's al
tentative solution is the true one. This
should haye been done so years ago. Now
the cruel aud unbearable wrongs inflicted on
the Indians by the non-C -Chatholic and anti
Christian policy that has been pursued has
SO exasperated them that the problem is
greatly complicated. Nevertheless, if it
were possible to expel from every Indian
reservation the rascals who, under the garb
of Protestant ministers and agents, have
enriched themselves, and to replace them
with Catholic priests, incalculable good
would be done Tribune.

1t is an unpleasant custom which some
ministers have of thus whacking at people
who incnr their displeasure. Sometimes
1t is at the absentees, sometimes at these
who are present. The Presbyterian thus
hits back 1--WE very much question the
propriety of advising Or rebuking congre-
cation Or an audience through the medium
OF prayer, though. we are sorry to say, it is
too often done. But two cases of the kind,
lately mentioned in the papers, almost seem
such an exception to the rule that one can
hardly find fault. One is that of a minister
opening court with prayer, who prayed
that the lawyers might remember that life
is short, and not waste the time of the
judge and jury by talking to no purpose
when they had nothing to say and the
other that of the chaplain OF the Maine
Legislature, who prayed that the honora-
BILE members might stop speaking whom
they have got through; though, says the
paper which reports the fact, 1T is greyious
to be informed that thus far the prayer has
not been answered. To which let us add
the case of very respectable pastor in
Western Pennsylvania. He had invited a
colored minister, who happened to come
along, to sit with him in the pulpit. The
brother accepted the invitation, but was
astonished when he heard his host insult
him by praying in the sflong prayer" that
the Lord would "bless our coIored brother
who this morning occupies the pulpit with
u.s." Some of the congregation were Of
Tended by it, particularly the sexton, who
happened to be coiored man. He vowed
vengeance. On Sunday morning, not
long afterwam, the congregation of a
neighboring church were much astonished
by sudden addition to their numbers,
after the services had commenced. Inquiry
resulted in learning that the church in
whose pulpit the colored brother had sat
was so filled with smoke that the people
could not stay there. The sexton, deter
mined to avenge the insult offered to his
race, had fixed the smoke fiue so as to turn
all the smoke from the fnrnace into the
church. It was considered little wicked
in him, but it was agreed on all hands that
he had got even with the pastor. --Phssa.

Is Consumption Contagious z
London Lancet.


The remarkable instances now and then
seen, in which persons without hereditary
tendency to phthisis become phthisicai after
long continued attendance on sufferers from
the disease, have suggested to many physi-
clans the idea that phthisis il contagious.
If there is such contagion, the mechanism
has been supposed to be the inhaiation with
the breath of fiue particles of tuberculous
sputa, atomized into the air by the patients
cough. An attempt has been made by DIR.
Tappeiner of Meran TO ascertain whether,
BY q similar means, animals could be rem
dered tubercular, and the results of the ex-
periments, which are published in the cur
rsnt number of an exchange, are OF great
interest. The animals experimental on
were made to breathe for several hours
daily In chamber in the air OF which fine
PARTICLES of phthisical sputum were sus-
pended. The sputum having been mixed
with water, the mixture was atnmized by
steam atouizer. In all cases the sputa were
from persons with cavities in their lungs.
Dogs alone were employed III The expert
ments, since they verv rarely suffer from
spontaneous tubarculJs.a. The resul. was
that of II animals experimental on, with
one doubtful exception, after a period vary
ing from, rs to 45 days, all, on being killed,
presented well-deyeloped military tubercles
in both lungs and, in most of the cases,
tubercles were present, to smaller extent,
in the kidneys, and in some cases, also, in
the liver and spleen. Microscopical exami-.
nation was in accord with the naked eye
appearances. The quantity of sputum nec-c
essary for the effect is certainly very small
one. In three experiments only one gramme
of eputum was daily atomized in the air of
the chamber. and the quantity of dry spu-
tum must have been exceedingly small.

work and sailed for England, in order to
establish peace relations with the English
peace party. He was leading spirit in
the founding of the League of Universal
Brotherhood in the organization of the
first Peace Congress in Europe, in 1s4s,
and was prominent in the Congress held
in 40 and '5o-the last being the notable
Congress at Frankfort that aspired to set
tie by arbitration the Schleswig- -Holstein
question. Iu 1852 he came back to Ameri-
ca, and in the same year assumed the edi-
torship of the Philadelphia Citizen Of the
World, a conservative anti-slavery organ
that advocated abolition of slavery by the
purchase of slaves with view to their be-
ing set &C liberty. Some of the best works
of his life was in furtherance of this idea,
and his strong utterances commanded the
attention of men of all parties. Whatever
chance of success may have been in store
as reward for his earnest efforts was DASH
ed by John Browns revolt. The affair at
Harper's Ferry made peaceable SETTLE
ment of the great questions before the
country impossible Disheartened by the
new phase of affairs, he abandoned his
newspaper, retired to a little holding Of
land belonging to him in New Britain, and
betook himself to farming. In 1868 he
again visited England, and for two years
he was actively engaged in writing and in
supervising through the press several
books. In 1866 he was appointed United
States Consul at Birmingham, a position
that he retained during the. five ensuing
years, Since 1870 he has lived upon his
farm at New Britain, doing much for the
welfare, moral and physical, of his fellow
townsmen, and writing not little to SINH
lar ends. His published works include the
following: "sparks from the Anvil"
London, 1S4s; solve Leaves" 1853 !;
Thoughts and Things at Home and
Abroad" 1854 GA Walk from John
o'Groat's to Lands End" 1865, and seve-
raj volumes ofmiscellanies, of which the
latest and last of his publications, "Chips
from Many Blocks" appeared in June,
1875.
The fact most worthy to be noted in the
life of Elihu Burritt is that before he was
anything else he was good blacksmith.
He was not ashamed of his trade, and he
did not slur it in order to gain time for his
studies. He was as earnest at the anvil as
he was at his books. His work was hon.
est it satisfied those whom he served and
it satisfied himself. Probably he disliked
his harsh calling and was very glad to have
done with 1t, but his longing for something
higher never led him into forgetting the
necessity of doing well the work set be-
fore him. His eyes were not SO set upon
the stars but that they guided his feet as
they trod firmly the earth. So his life,
from the beginning, was patient, faithful
and true, and the lesson that it teaches is
that by patience, faithfulness and truth
the BATTLE that every man has to fight
with the world is most surely won.

IMMIGRATION.

Important Conference in Chicago st, Pat
rick's Day.
An important conference of leading Irish
citizens of the country, interested in the
movement to secure the withdrawal of their
countrymen from the cities of the East and
their settlement upon the fertile lands of the
Northwest, is to be held at the Grand Pacific
hotel, Chicago, on st. Patrick's day. It ia
only In the last two or three years that any
organized movement has been made by this
people to secure the full inheritance of the
great farm offered him in the native wealth
OF our broad prairies, by becoming leading
element of the producing class. The fact
that to Father Ireland, of st. Paul, largely
belongs the credit of inviting the attention of
his countrymen to the advantages to
be gained to themselves, by such 4
movement, and that Minnesota has greatly
protited by it already, renders this confer
ence at Chicago matter of material interest
to US as State, and it is therefore a matter
OF graduation to know that we are to be
worthily and ably represented, as is evil
denced by the appended list of delegates to
represent the different Irish delegations of
the State:

Railroad Consolidation.

ST. LOUIS, March 7.-Information was re-
ceived here to-day that the Union Pacific
railroad company had come into possession
of the Kansas Pacific by purchase and that
hereafter the two roads would be operated as
one. An interview with S. M. Edgell, vice
president of the Kansas Pacific, resulted in
disclosing the information that the report
was nearly correct. He stated that an ar
rangement had been made by which the IN
ion Pacific company have purchased what
are known as the inferior securities of the
Kansas Pacific, or the securities which were
put into the pool made between the two roads
some time ago. These securities consist of
stock of the road, the Leavenworth branch
bonds, the second land grant bonds and the
Arkansas Valley railroad bonds, the whole
valued at $3,000,0o0. The terms are one
half cash, and I per cent. on deferred pay
ment This does not give the Union Pacific
entire possession of the Kansas Pacific, MS
there remains large amount of first mort
gage bonds not involved in the tran saction,
and which the Kansas Pacific company does
not intend to dispose Of.
