BLOWING Our KERosENE LAMA
common method Of feztinguishing kerosene
lamp is to turn dowu the wick until only u
minute fame is visible and then blow dosa
the chimney. This ,s a most dangerous
practice, being very frequently the cause Of
explosion. People who use kerosene should
make it absolute rule never to attempt TO
cStinguish lighted lamp in that way. Is
is just as easy TO blow into the lower end OF
tho chimney as tho top, except that the per-
do it. But tho bes: way to eztinguish tho
light is this: Turn the light up 10 foil
height. Then with your mouth upon level
with the top of the chimney, aud about o
foot or more from it. blow horizontally over
the top and the light will 20 out instantly.
The blowing draws the air from the ehis.>
ney, and without air combustion Garnet be
sustained; hence the light goes out.

GEN. GRANT.

On our third page We publish
carefully considered and well writ
ten communication from Hon. W.
E. Kindrick, of Roane county, on
the subject of Gen. Grant and the
Presidency. While we agree with
him on many points he makes, We
do not attach the weight to the
"Third Term objection to Gen.
Grant that he does. Indeed, we do
not consider the election of Gen.
Grant to the Presidency now as
Vpeu W Tue objections which are
usually urged against a third term.
Gen. Grant is nothing more
nor less now than a private
citizen. He has no patronage at
his command with which to inhu-
ence unduly, any man to come to
his support. 1t would have been
different in 1875, and we did then
believe that it would be unwise to
nominate him.
Neither do we have fears that he
would surround himself with cor
rupt men, were he trusted with the
high Office again. We believe that
his experience of eight years would
add to his efficiency as Chief Mag
istrate of the Republic, and that
the affairs of Government would
be most satisfactorily managed.
But we believe there are others
who will administer the Government
as well as he, and We do not believe
the party is so scarce of great men
that there is only one left fit to be
President, or who can be elected. 1t
will add nothing to Gen. Grants
honors to elect him President, for
has be not already been honored as
no other American citizen has? If
he is the only man we can elect, we
are for him, but we do not believe
he is.
