Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1879-06-04

WE have it at last The New York Times
tells US that while the scientific world, di-
vided into factions represented respectively
by electricians in the interest of the gas COM
panies, and those whom the latter could not
buy, or thought too obscure to buy, has been
disputing learnedly about the divisibiEty of
the electic current, one of those penniless
persons styled inventors has gone to work in
his little attic, solved the problem, applied
for patent, placed his model on record in
the patent office, and yesterday received a
notice from the examiner of patents that his
application had been allowed, and that the
fee of twenty dollars for granting letters
patent must be rendered within certain
period, or the application will have to be
made over again. The history of this inven-
ton is somewhat curious. The inventor Of
this new electric light, in which minute can
dies of lampblack are used in place of the
ordinary carbon pencils, is Mr.. Alfred G.
Holcombe. He has produced carbons that
lasted fifty hours, and has thus nearly dis
pensed with the trouble of renewal found to
be so formidable in the Joblochkoff light,
experiments with which have been tried on a
large scale in Paris. The real point Of the
invention consists In the regulation of re-
sistance, and the consequent employment of
no more electrical force than is Sequired.
The experts who have been privileged to
view this invention are loud in its praises,
and declare it to be all that is claimed for it

The chief objection to chinese.

Pail Mall Gdzstte, May 18th: "There is
another and deeper reason than those as
signed by the Times In a long leading article
this morning for the hostility Of Americans
TO Chinese immigration; and it applies equal
ly to English colonies and to the United
States. Not only is the Chinaman, as the
writer truly says, personally Objectionable,
but he ia prctectionist and an absentee of
the most virulent type at one and the same
time. No one gets any pull out of China
man. He buys his clothes from China, he
buys his food from China, and he deals exclu-
sively through Cinnamon. Thus, whether
he Is a gold digger or Is working for daily
wages, neither Americans nor Europeans can
make anything out of him. When he has
made as much as he thinks will keep him In
comfort In China, off he goes with his saw
ings, and the State or the colony knows him
no more. But In his place appears another
Chinaman equally as Industrious, equally
penurious, equally inclined to take low wages,
who goes through the same process, and then
IL like manner disappears. Thus these
thrifty Asiatics, by keeping entirely to their
own routes of trade and saving money or
digging gold simply to take it out OF the
country, seem to the uusophisticated Ameri-
can and equally dull Australian to be by no
means so useful to the country as a less in
dustrlous, less penurious and less home-sick
European, whatever effect their method may
have upon the wealth of the world at large.
This, at any rate, IS the chief reason why
men who are worth arguing with support
such movements as those of the Labor party
In California; and writers who wish to COM
bat their arguments effectually will have to
take wider view of the subject than they
take at present

A PUDDLE MUDDLE.
The PuddIers Refuse to Puddle for
Less than Five Dollars per Ton.
and the Manufacturers Refuse
to Pay Five Dollars Der
Ton for Pudding,
and there is NO
Padding.

PITTsBURG, June 2.-The agreement of
last year between the iron manufacturers and
their puddlers of five dollars per ton for pud-
ding expired on Saturday, and the mill
owners and their employees having failed
during the past month to come to terms for
the ensuing year work was suspended this
morning in all the IRON mile III this vicinity
and serious lockout is threatened. The
puddlers oD boilers demand the same scale of
prices paid them last year, while the manu-
facturers claim that they cannot afford to pay
five dollars for work which Is being done in
other cities for three dollars and a-half and
four dollars. The manufacturers have ap-
pointed three of their number-Messrs B. F.
Jones, Henry w. Oliver, and T. M. Carnegre
into whose hands they have entrusted the
matter and will be guided by their decision.
The workmen are represented by commit
tee composed of the officers of the amalga-
mated iron and steel association. These
committees held conference this afternoon
at which a proposition was made by the
manufacturers to submit the matter to arbi-
tration, but the representatives of the work
men not being authorized to act on the propo-
alton the meeting was adjourned until to-
morrow afternoon. Tho amalgamated asso-
citation includes ballers, heaters, ratters,
catchers and helpers, and If the lockout con-
tinues nearly fifty thousand men and boys
will be thrown out of employment.

An Anecdote or Garrison.

Oliver Johnson. writing to the New York
Tribune, tells this story of the late William
Lloyd Garrison. On one occasion, when return
ing from an anti-slavery convention in Phil
adelPh he fell into conversation on board
the steamer with Shareholder. The whole
subject of slavery was discussed between
them, Mr.. GarrlsoR keeping perfectly cool,
bat plying the stranger with convincing logic
and strong appeals to conscience. Mr.. Gar
rison retired at length, and bystander Of
less discretion, resuming the argument on
the anti slavery side, waxed hot and denun-
clatory; when the STAKEHOLDER said, why do
you not talk cooly and candidly, as that
other gentleman did? 1t is pleasure to dis
cuss the question with a reasonable man like
him. but you are as fierce and unreasonable
as Garrison himself IBID you ever see
Carlson" inquired the interlocutor of the
STAKEHOLDER. mo; but l have read his pa
per, and know him TO be q wild fanatic. :"
''Let me tell you, then, that it was William
Lloyd Garrison with whom you were talking
just now, and whom, you say, was candid
and sweet-tempered." The STAKEHOLDER
would not believe it till he was convinced Of
the truth by the captain of the steamer, who
assured HIM that he had indeed been con-
versing with the fanatical editor of the LiberG-
tor, and had commended HIM for his Sweet
reasonableness" in discussion.

WE acknowledge the receipt of an invita-
ton to be present at Manhattan beach, New
York, to witness the experiments of Prof.
King, the aeronaut, who has it in coutempla-
ton to make a trip to Europe and back by a
balloon of peculiar construction. The prin-
cipal experiments will be to ascertain the
effect of the different changes of temperature
on the balloon in making for a certain point,
and what will be necessary to overcome the
effect of these changes; also, how rain, dew,
and the change of atmosphere will operate
on the buoyancy of the balloon. When these
effects are reduced to science, and the
method of counteracting them adopted. an
automatic gear of machinery will be con-
structed on the plan adopted that will regu-
late a balloon under these circumstances.
This automatic apparatus will be placed in a
balloon, and, having arranged a drop-rope,
the weight of which will depend upon the
result of the experiments, the balloon will be
sent across the ocean without any person IN
her. The sea-station masters will be request
ed to look out for her, and the course of the
balloon will be carefully watched, as far as
possible. 1t is expected that the machinery
will adjust itself according to the operations
of the elements, and fually land her in Ed
rope. If 1t does not, then another one will
be sent out with any improvements that may
suggest themselves from the course of the
6rst This will be continued until it is thought
advisable for the professor TO start on the
trip across the sea himself

Grenada Sentinel: "We are eratifed to
note marked change. The Memphis AP-
PEAL, the leading exponent of Democratic
ideas in half dozen States, has taken bold
stand against TIlden's denomination, main
tanning, as we had done, that it would surely
result in defeat. The APPEAL called upon
its country exchanges to speak out upon the
subject, and, as a result, many influential
papers in this and other States have declared
against Tilden. many of them asserting with
confidence that he could not reasonably hope
to have a solid south in support of the ticket.
1t Is even said that if he should be put for
ward he would be unable to carry his own
State, which is about the only plausible areu-
ment which has been adduced to show cause
why he should be again nominated. Taking
it altogether, we think Tilden is on the shelf,
and will be allowed to remain there, with
plenty of idle time to arrange his income tax
matters with the government, and collect the
interest on his bonds, and increase the num-
Der of 'bar'ls O. dollars which he is said to
feel so much affection for.
