Gas was first applied to practical
purposes in 1892, by Mr.. Murdoch,
an English engineer, residing in Corn
wall, but it was on a very limited
scale and did not attract much atten-
ton. In 1902 large factory at Bir-
mingham was Illuminated with gas at
the public rejoicing for the peace Of
Amiens. Hundreds of persons came
to see the sight, and the novelty gain
ed such a footing that gas-works were
established at Birmingham, Manches.

The Boston Post has discovered a
ludicrous transposition in the makeup
of couple of telegraph items in the
New Haven Journal and Courier,
which produced the following effect:
The first item read: "a large cast
iron wheel, revolving nine hundred
times per minute, exploded in that
city yesterday, after long and pain
fol illness. Deceased was a promi-
nent sthirty-second degree Mason.
This was followed by the second item,
which read: "John Fadden, the we'll

d Russell's sugar mill at Crystal
Lake, ILL.,, on Saturday, doing $4,000
damage to the building, and injuring

paper Couufry.
Our great progress in journalism
is shown by the fact that in 1875 there
we're in the United States less than
40 newspapers aud periodicals, whose
aggregate issue for that year compris-
ed; 1 100000 copies now the united
press publishes over 500 daily news
papers, more than 1900 weeklies, and
about 600 monthly publications. Oh
the dailies that existed in 1879 about
500, 100000 were struck oa that year;
Of the weeklies about 10000, 900;
and of other serial publications about
1OO,O00.OOO, amounting in all to
1900, 100000 copies. And to sum
the matter up yet more forcibly, il
must be stated that the United States
publishes more newspapers, with
greater combined circulation than all
the other countries of the world can
together boast Of having. The Oldest
paper Of uninterrupted publication in
this country is the Hartford CouraHi,
which has already attained the hoary
age of Tic years. In regard to its
last birthday it plaintively says; 1--WE

certain church. and on one Sabbath
morning the good minister .ound him
self without a choir. He read the
old familiar hymn. 81 love to steal

choir, one OF the deacons threw him
self into the breach and undertook TO
lead of. He pitched the tune and
sung III love to steal" but had it so
high that he broke down. He tried
it second time, and again broke
down at steal, It was so low. Not dis
couraged, he tried it the third time,
and sung, 81 love to steal" and then
went down as before. At this point
the audience became amused, and the
minister arose and said, at is greatly

The jury in the case of Schmidt Il
Zeigler VS.. II, G. Dun Il Co.'S nier.
camille agency at New Orleans, re.
turned a verdict for 81 900 in favor Of
plaintiff. The case attracted the gen.
eral attention Of the merchants, and
it is believed if the verdict is sustained
by the higher courts it will establish
the responsibility Of mercantile agen-
cies for losses resulting to customers
by reason of erroneous reports and
failures to use due diligence. In this
case Dun 4 Co. have rated an ire
sponsible firm very high and failed TO
inform the plaintiffs, who asked for a
special report that their information
was obtained from members Of the
firm inquired about. Relying ON
Dun a. Co.'S report, the plaintiff sold
a bill of goods on short time to the
firm in question, who failed to pay foI
them. Hence the suit.

Abiding to the condition Of affairs

aid arrives at the conclusion. chat
when men are not absolutely doomed
to the death penalty, il is criminal on
the part of the State to kill them
gradually by malarial poison So,
too. says the CoUrier-Journol, and so
say we all. But the quality Of mer-
cy should not be strained. There are
others than prison convicts suffering
for their crimes all over this State,
and for fear the hand of executive
clemeucy may not reach them all,
that committee, composed Of all the
physicians in the House and Senate,
should visit every Jail in the State and
recommend the pardon Of all persons
who are suffering from disease Of the
body OF canker Of mind because of
certain fines imposed upon them by
hard-hearted juries and unsympathet-
&c judges for gambling, carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons, selling liquors
to minors, and other little eccentrici-
ties of uuregenerale natures. We see
from the papers that great numbers
of these classes have already been lib
Grated with the divine injunction to go
and sin no more, but great numbers
Of them have also forgotten the injunc-
ton and are again in the jails. They
are entitled to more than one trial

The Greenback Sacrifice" known
to the political world as James b.
Weaver, has issued the following:
manifesto to the followers of the rag
baby fallacy:
INDIANAPOLIS, September p, 1876.
To Greenback Labor Men Throughout the United
States:
l urgently request that you have
struck off, by the thousand, for the
circulation in each county, full ex-
tracts from Bayard's New York
speech, in which he says that the
Democratic candidate for president
and vice president, and the Democrat
ic party, are in favor of his bill to de-
strOy greenbacks, and that they will
carry out that policy.
Publish the Bayard resolution with
a full extract from his speech, so that
the people may know just what it is
that the Democratic party and its cam
didates are pledged TO carry out. The
issue is now fully made up. Let every
Greenbacker in the Union arouse him
self to the real situation and brand as
an infamous traitor to our holy cause
any man, without regard to his former
standing in our party, who attempts
to transfer our votes to either of the
old parties. J. b. WEAVER
We suggest that if anything is to
be struck off, that the so-called Green
back voters strike off from Weaver
and do themselves the honor of voting
for Hancock, the next President of the
United States.

DEPTH az WATER AT THE JET.

Cnpi. Eads Says the Great Eastern
can Pass ThaOugh with safety.
Yesterday, says the N. o. Democrat
of the 25th ult., Major Behan Aminis-
TRAITOR of Commerce, received the fol-
lowing letter from Capt, Eads In re-
lation to the depth of water at South
Pass and the feasibility of the steam
ship passing through.
ST. LOUIS, Sept, p, 1880.
Maj. J. II. Behan, Administrator Of Commerce
New Orleans
Dear Siy-At the suggestion of Col.
r.. Il. Rivers, l have telegraphed you
the following this morning:
"Great Eastern can safely visit New Orleans and
return drawing twenty-eisht feet"
At the head of the passes and
through thejetties there Is ample chan
mel for the Great Eastern drawing one
foot more than this (twenty-nine feet
as the channel at both places is thirty
feet deep at mean high tide and is a
good channel. In the pass itself,
within two miles of the head of it,
some work would have to be done with
my dredgeboat to insure her interrupt
ed passage drawing over twenty-seven
feet. This can be easily corrected in Il
few days if she comes, so that she could
go through it drawing. twenty-nine
feet, although the depth for a short
distance is but twenty-sevcn feet.
You are doubtless aware that the law
does not require the maintenance of
over twenty-siX feet above the jetties,
and thirty feet through them. Ihave,
therefore, neglected to deepen the short
distance in the pass-probably 500 feet
through which less than thirty feet
exists Just now, as it has been unnec-
