IN Elect,icLight for Smokers.

An ingenious device, says the klcc
tyician. has been invented for the use of
smokers. II consists Of a small battery,
with short piece of platinum in the
circuit Opposite the platinum is a
small nozzle from which jet of gaseous
benzo ne is thrown. Between the nozzle
and the metal is small cotton wick. Ga
pressing a trigger the jet of benzoline Is
turned on, g shutter in front of t.
platinum is opened, and the battery cor
tact is made The metal becomes in
candescent. the jet catches fire and IN
flames the wick. which continues to burn
with Q small fame until blown out. OF
course the wick IS in a reservoir Of oil
like that Of any other lamp.

ILouystreet for Grant.

CHICAGO, February 2l.-An Inter.
Oceans Gainesville tGs.) correspondent
sends q long interview with General
Lopgstrest, who Enthusiastically declares
for Grant. He said that the war ended
his strife against the principles which
are to govern this country; that he is
fully reconstructed and In full sympathy
with the Republican party, and for that
reason has been compelled to give up
his business in New Orleans and suffer
contempt from all parts OF the South
where he has resided or been known.
He believes that General Grant alone
can carry the States Of North Carolina,
Louisiana and Georgia. He said as to
the latter State that Grant WAS the only
candidate who excited enthusiasm. and
that the negroes, who are about half the
population, will unite with the independ.
emit Democrats and carry the State for
Grant. The Independents will DO ready
for this alliance, as It Is the only plan
by which they con hope to secure, the
State. Longstreet does not think Blaine
or Sherman would excite any enthusiasm
among the blacks, or call out their full
vote.

recommendation that Robinson's Rudi.
ments be used "to bridge over the

light OF subsequent assurances OF mem
bsrs Of the Board privately given that
the Board were liable to come together
and make some sort Of change at almost
any time. In Gold Hill not so much as
a ripple from this wind has occurred,
for the simple reason that q similar
work was in the hands Of ~ teachers
from which oral lessons were given to
tho classes, and that will be the only
use made Of the Rudimsnts. But In
Virginia the Principals, understanding
from the action Of the State
Board and their circular. that
no changes at all were to be made, and
knowing that the Rudimsnts were far
superior to the book now In use, ordered
the adoption OF tue recommended text

qussted to hold their orders for supplies
Of tho Rudiments In allegiance till the
matter was determined. At present,
therefore. scholars in Storey county will
not bo compelled to buy the book.

The north drift through the Mexican
