A Now Electric Wonder.


 PARIS April 25.-A French engineer named Parodi claims to have discovered 8 method of conveying large quantities of electricity over long distances and distributing it at any num- Der of points on the way exactly like gas or water. Electricity of sufficient tension is pro- ducsd in the ordinary manner, but instead of transmitting it by the usual wires cables it is conveyed through immense continuous truncated pipes having ths same qualities as Leyden jars. The tension is uniform through out, and it is thus possible to divert the fluid as may be required at different points for Va- rious industrial purposes. The invention dispenses with steam engines. Steam may be replaced by waterfalls and great economy in the production of electricity is effected. The inventor believes that Niagara might be utiliz ed and electricity transmitted from the Horse Shoe Falls to New York or Boston.

Great Emigration ts America.

LONDON, April 25.-The emigration returns made up by the board of trade returning of fear at Liverpool show that the stream of emigration from Asrssy has reached a point never before experienced, and in striking con- trast to the figures which have been presented during the past few years of commercial de- pression. During the month of March 83 vessels left Mersey with 13, 363 passengers, an increase of 7,409 persons over tho previous month, and of s, 461 over March, 1879. Of the above number Of sniarants 12, 167 were for the United States. The returns for April thus far show still further increase.
 A Berlin correspondent says: What with conscription, protection, taxation, commercial crises and warlike approximations, emi igration from Germany suddenly assumes proportions exceeding anything witnessed for sight years. In dispatch from Bremen the astonishing statement is made that between the 1st of January and April 24 no fewer than 21, 800 emiarants were despatched for the United States from Bremen, being three-fourths of the total number who sailed during the whole of last summer. So large a number having embarked in the spring, 1t is to be anticipated that during the coming summer, that being the principal season usually chosen, the roll ef emigrapts from Germany will be unexam- pied. It is to be remarked that the passen- gers are as rule better clad than those who left in the past years.
