THE BENEFIT BALL TO NIGHT.

There should be big turnout of dancers
at the ball tonight at the Opera House. The
cause is of the very best, and the dancing will

delightful music. So, for 81 30 the chari-
table citizen can exhibit his substantial SYM
pathy for the distressed, and dance himself
into state of satisfaction with all mankind.
1t is to be remembered that the Masonic party
appointed for tonight has been postponed on

INSANE ON RELIGION.-A man named James
Gilbert, who has been employed at the Vivian
Mill, was taken in charge of the Sheriff yes
terday as a person of unsound mind. His
insanity was made manifest by his kneelng
to strangers and addressing them as Jesus
Christ, and in the incoherence of his talk
upon the subject of religion. We understand
that Gilbert was for time in our County
Hospital. We suppose he will undergo an
examination before the proper authorities.

The British workman, heretofore con sid erd a man to be honored, is being sadly abused now by British inventors and manufacturers through 'odorous comparisons made between him and his American rival. Mir. Graham Bell first complained of difficulty he exprienced in getting any novel idea put into material form bv British workmen, and this complaint was followed by more vigorous one in the English Mechanic from the pen of Thomas Fletcher. Mr. Fletcher says that he has had twenty years experience in experimental work. and that. after having tried in vain to get British workmen to make new forns he has been compelled either to make them himself or to send thls country to have them made by American mechanics. Many of the tools usedby Brit ish workmem he pronounces i'll adapted fer the uses to which they are put, but after showing their faults and suggesting improvements, he has found that the British workman will not go ont of his groove to adopt new ideas, and that English tool makers are themselves obliged to send to this country for American made tools with which to do their work He clinch- es his statements by saying: ''The proof of the pudding is in the eating. have at this mo- ment at least three-fourths of my tools of American manufacture, many of which have been bought at very fancy price" He thinks that the difference between the work men of the two countries is that 'an English workman does not in the first instance learn what tool is for and adapt the tool to the re- quirements; an American workman will, as a rule, use his brains and make what you want without spelling the whole by ridiculous blun- ders." The complaints as above presented, form the basis of an argument iu.favor of giv- ing apprentices q technical education combined with practical work.

CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.

CATHOLICS IN POLITICS. the political field the influence of CathSlicity has been ex- erted, if exerted at all, indirectly and not of it's own motion. No Catholic has yet sat in the Presidential chair no Catholic has held a Cabinet office; only one of the Judges of the Supreme Court has been Catholics in Con- gress there are, perhaps, not a score of Catho- lies among the 368 Senators and Representa- tives. No one is elected to office because he is Catholic occasionally nominating conven- tions of both parties have rejected candidates otherwise unobjectiopable, for the reason that they were Catholics and that the Protestant voters of their party might refuse to support them. Catholics, in at least the higher walks of official life, have found their religion an ob- stacle, rather than 8 help, to their advance ment. No oneobjects to apublic man because he is an Episcopalian Presbyterian Metho- dist, or even an Atheist, if he does not unnec- essari,y obtrude his atheism but Mir. Herman was not elected to the Federal Senate without earnest and bitter remonstrances from some ot the guardians of the Protestant faith. No Catholic has been sent to represent us abroad, although 19 of the different countries with which we have diplomatic relations are Catho lie nations In the local governments of our large cities and towns, Catholics take their due share, by no means because they are Cath olics but simply for the reasons that they are citizens We believe it has been the wish of the Catholic prelates in America to discounte- nance everything likea mixture of religion and politics. From time to time they have expres- sed themselves with emphasis upon the public school question; but the general policy has been one of work, rather than of talk The Catholics have qnietly established their own parochial schools in many cities and towns and gathered their children into them, while con- tinuing to pay their taxes for the public schools which they did not use The number of the Catholic parish schools reported in the last Di- rectory is 21S0, and the returns are far from complete. e.-Neao Fork Graphic.

''She's pretty hot, ain't shes2" said a back woods passenger, addressing the engineer of a Mississippi steamer that was racing with anether boat. ''So-so," responded the engin- eer as he hung an additional wrench on the safety valve cord to stop the steam from escap- ing. ''I reckon we'll evertake that craft soon," pursued the stranger. That's about it," returned the engineer, giving the cord another twitch and hallooing through the trumpet to the fireman to shove her up" 'One hundred and ninety i've" hummed the passenger, looking first at the guage and then at the boil ers That's about where she's rusticating," put in the engineer. The passenger ran lis fingers through his hair nervously, and walked about the decks for few minutes. when he came back to the engineer and observed, Hadn't you better leave that boat go ? Can't do it, Must pass her." ''But sposen we blow up p Well" said the engineer, as he peeped over the guard to see how fast he was going Eff it is the will of Providence for the boat to blow up, we'll have to stand by it" Then he hallooed to the fireman to coal, and give little more turpentine and oil. The next moment there was a splash in the river
 but before the yawl could he lowered the man had succeeded in reaching the shore, and hal. looed out .'Go on with the race. guess I'll walk.

DIR. CHAMBERLAIN's SANITARY REPORT FOR
 NOVEMBER

Dr. C. w. Chamberlain, of Hartford, makes the following report of the states sanitary con- dition in November, for the state board of health:

WORTH, the man dress maker Of Paris,
does not fiud the Republic to his liking,
and everybody can easily understand
why. In addition to the simple man
ners which have been thought becoming
for a republic. Worth is no longer un.
rivaled in his special field. There are
other men dressmakers who are thought
to be better, and who do not make dress
es for actresses, and so get themselves
talked about in the newspapers. Strange.
ly enough, while it is the Republic Of
France which almost destroys Worth,
it is the Republic of the United States
which saves him. Mr.. Worth does not
hesitate to say that if it we're not for the
ladies Of the United States he would
have to close up shop. American ladies,
therefore, he considers the best dressed
women in the world. As for the women
of his own country, Mr.. Worth-who is
an Englishman-has nothing good to
say. They are, it appears, in the habit
of ordering dresses, keeping them long
enough to have copies taken by cheap
workers, and then sending them back
because they "do not fit," or, if they do
not this, they make him wait terribly
long while before they pay.-PhiIadeI.

THE MYSTERIES OF A LUMP OF
COAL.

For years no one supposed that lump
of soft coal, dug from the earth, possessed
any other purpose than that Of fuel. 1t
was next found that it would afford gas
which was Combustible. Chemical anal
ysis proved it to be made Of hydrogen.
In process of time mechanical and chem
ical ingenuity devised mode of manu-
featuring this gas, and applying it to the
lightingof buildings and cities on large
scale. In doing this, other products of
distillation were developed, until step by
step the following ingredients are ex-
tracted from it:
1. An excellent oil to supply light
houses, equal to the best sperm, at less
cost.
Q. Benzole-a light sort of ethereal
fluid, which evaporates easily, and, COM
bined with vapor or moist air, is used in
portable gas lamps, 30 called.
3. Naptha-a heavy fluid, used to dis
solve gutta percha, India rubber, etc.
4, An excellent oil for lubricating pur-
poses.
5. Asphaltum, which is black, solid
substance, used in making varnishes,
covering roofs, and covering over vaults.
6. Para6ne-a white crystalline SUBJ
stance resembling white wax, which can
be made into beautiful wax candles; it
melts at temperature of ITO deg. and
affords an excellent light. All these
substances are now made from soft coal.

THESE RINGING WORDS.
The World on Mr.. TiIden's Dispatch to the Iron
City Club.

The World on Mr.. TiIden's Dispatch to the Iron
City Club.
The Associated Press communicated to
the country the telegram of Mr.. Tilden
TO the Democratic club of this city on
Tuesday evening last, and 1t has been
the subject of favorable commentator
in many quarters. The New York World,
in discussing the parlor games playing
against Mr.. Tilden, refers to it in comph'
mentary terms
"And leaving the corrupt and mischiev-
GUS Tammany element quite out OF con-
sideration, there are a good many we'll
meaning and respectable Democrats in
New York who will never be of any use
to themselves or to their party so long as
they persist in spinning around like i'm

hostility to a man who incarnates and
represents the issue upon which they IN
sist that the Democratic battle must De
fought. They are in the case in which
the Christian legion OF Constantine
would have found itself if it had been
made up of Jews. Here, for example,
we receive from Pittsburgh this morning
q dispatch sent to that city last night by
Mr., Tilden in which Mr.. Tilden express
ly calls upon the Democrats of the Un-
ion to make the frauds of 1875 the. great
issue in 1880. OF all the persons who at
tended the curious little parlor Conven-
ton, held on Saturday in this city, to
promote the nomination OF Mr.. DORIS
heimer as Governor of New York in
1870, there is not one, probably, who
would get up before public meeting in
this State or in this city, and repudiate
the ringing words sent by Mr.. Tilden
last night to Pittsburgh. Yet how many
of them in their hearts disagreed with
the outspoken opinion uttered on Satur.
day By Mr. Belmont, that the State of
New York has had enough of Mr., Til
denP Mr.. Hendricks it will be seen, is
in no such helpless condition as this. No
man, if we look at the matter from a
strictly personal standpoint is more di.
rectly interested in what we call the
fraud issue than Mr.. Hendricks, He is
perhaps even more directly interested in
that issue than Mr.. Tilden. For it would
be manifestly absurd to 60 before the
country on the fraud issue with any 9th
or candidates than those elected in 1876,
and defrauded then; and as the friends of
Mr., Tilden we'll know, the chances, hu.
manly speaking, are. that the election OF
Presidential ticket made of Tilden and
Hendricks would really mean the event
ual Presidency Of Mr.. Hendricks. Mr..
Tilden, though a man Of much less ex-
perience in public life than Mr.. Hend-
ricks, is an older man, in years and con-
stitution; and nothing doubted, he would
find the strain of the Presidential office
80 severe as to make it imperative upon
him to withdraw from it very early in
the term. Mr.. Hendricks knows this, as
his courteous reticenCe on the point in.
dicates clearly, as we'll as any man, and
he knows, therefore, that all who work
for the re. election of Mr.. Tilden are real
ly working, whether they know it or not,
to put Mr.. Hendricks at no distant day
into the White House.
