Illectric IIpliIa.

A committee appointed by tho Secretary Of
the Treasury, who has control of the lighting
of public buildings to examine aud report
upon the subject Of electric lights, has recently
reported. Prof Il. b. Elliott, who makes tho
report, has presented n very valuable aud in
torcsting paper upon the subject, which Is in
favor OF the adoption Of electric lights for
large spaces In preference to gas, as matter
of economy, both as to increased light and di-
minished expense An incidental advantage
in favor of tile electric light, Of great irnpOr-
lance, is the quality of the improved atmos-
phere in tho rooms whore electric light is
used in place OF gas, owing to tho fct that
the production Of electric light does not
depend upon the consumption of oxygen
tho oxydizing of the carbon points not be-
ing essential to or desirable in the pio-
duction OF tho magnificent effects which
the electric current produces In Professor
Eliott's report IL is admitted that electric
lights are economical for lighting largu spaces,
but the problem has been how to divide tho
light for practical and economical use in q
series of small rooms, and the inventive talent
of electricians has for a long time been directed
TO this point.

Australia, China and Japan, and find no
consolation but in the fact that tie home

Death OF WILLIAM LLOYD

william Lloyd Garrison died in New
York ON Monday last in the 18th year OF
his ICE. He was . native Of Newbury-
mort, Massachusetts,. He was one OF the
earliest and most vigorous Of the anti
slavery agitasors in this country. His
father being 3 confirmed inebriate. young
Garrison was left to make his way in the
world as hest be could. He was inden-
tured to a publisher and became a practi-
cal printer. Arriving at mans estate be
began the publication OF a newspaper
called the Free Press" weekly journal
devoted to the cause of temperance and
the emancipation Of the slaves Of the South.
Public opinion had not yet reached a stage
to render such a publication popular, and
quite naturally his first venture proved a
failure. He made several other efforts to
found an anti-slave1y paper. but with no
better success. 1t was not until he estab-
lished the "Liberator," in 1881. that his
ambition in this direction was crowned.
Mr.. Garrison, though at times as violent
q Dennis Kearney. was . true man OF the
noblest impulses. In his death, the
eolored people Of the United States sustain
the loss Of one Of their earliest and best
friends.

JUDICIAL SYMPATHY.

Recently 4 suit was tried before an H.
diana justice Of the peace wherein a la
dy was plaintiff, and a bank, defendant.
The evidence showed conclusively that
the fair plaintiff had no right to recover;
Of this no one could have the shadow of
a doubt" Her learned counsel knew
well that unless he could get the sympa-
thay OF the squire" his client would
have a 'lost cause" He therefore labor
ed hard in applying the "sympathetic
process" He gushed with eloquence of
great warmth in referring to his clients
rights, until finally great tears came
Tickling down his cheeks, at the sight of
which the justice (who was a very ten
der-hearted individually was also moved
to tears. This satisfied the attorney
that the sympathy OF the Court was in
behalf of the lady. and he closed his ar
gument by saying, cit does my heart
good to believe that this honorable Court
IL the exercise Of a sound discretion, will
not allow the rights OF pure and noble
lady to be trampled beneath the cloven
feet OF q soulless corporation and took
his seat, as confident that he would get
Judgment as ever poor Miss Elite was.
Ihereupon the squire rendered the
following comprehensive and satisfactory
decision. He said: ''The plaintiff in
this case is a woman, and her counsel has
for the last hour touched the sympathy
OF the Court in her behalf, and l am glad
Of it; but think, under the law, that
justice is on the side of the bank. L
therefore will find in favor of the bank,
and let the record show that Mrs. -
has the full sympathy of the Court"
