Gas Light.

FOR the republican.
A very common error prevails, tina
the largest and best light necessarily
results from burninga large amount 0
gas. For, says everybody, "How car
you have q good light unless you burr
the gas"
We might offer many reasons and
prove the argument too, showing Just
how small amount of gas properly
used will give better light than much
more gas not used a. it should be. But
that would be only an argument.
In economy we wantfacts, not theory.
Therefore the experiments of Mr.. Bon.
ner Of Frankford, Germany ARE positive
and demonstrative.
He was a color manufacturer. In
mixing dyes he found il very difficult
to distinguish the different and delicate
colors of aniline dyes by artificial light,
This led him to experiment with gas.
He first found that BY the ordinary
modes Of burning gas large proper.
tion was wasted--he says 1t was
"wasteful in the extreme"
He finally discovered that the law for
burning gas economically was, viz, to
obtain the largest amount of light from
a given quantity Of gas, that it must
be burned through large oridce at the
lowest possible pressure Oh the gas
should issue from the burner so very
slowly that 1t must be all consumed.
This can never happen in the burn
ers connected directly with the gas
mains Of the streets. The Gas Company
is obliged to force its gas into every
part of the city, into low places as well
as high, hence, it's pressure in all els-
vated places will be oorrespondsntly
greater on account of numerous low
points supplied with gas. Bonner
found that frequently gas is forced from
the burner at 80 high pressure that
two thirds ia wasted or pass-
ed through without being burnt.
Mr. L. P. Blair, of this city, has also
been experimenting with gas the last 80
years and has reached results that en-
tirely agree with Mr.. Bonner's discov-
5Fl0s. Nc udb IUuuu tu6 Same law Dut
by different reduction.
This has brought out his gas govern
,r or gas regulator, which seems a most
and accurate adjustment of
he pressure at every gas meter. 1t en-.
.bles every householder to adjust and
ontrel the pressure at every burner in
lis house.

Farewell Sermon.

Yesterday morning Rev. J. N. W.
Pratt, the pastor of the First Unitarian
church, on West street between Eighth
and Ninth, preached his farewell SER
mon. He selected his text "Christ's
Miracle of Changing Water into Wine"
The subject, he said, prsfgured the al.
chemic effect of the gospel upon men its
power to transform the water of life in
to wine, to satisfy the everyday things
about US. The disciples, those plain
fishermen living copfned, narrow lives
aud having but one hope-the coming
of the Messiah, felt the marvellous
transformation. They Immediately be.
came animated with desire to fill the
world with the light that had come
into their individual souls. The light
will help to brighten the common pro-
sale tasks Of life. We can rsacn out
and come to the father of us all only
when we live up to the highest in our
souls. This light sometimes comes to
US In our collective lives. He urged
his congregation to labor for religious
liberty, and declared that reason
should be used in religious as in other
matters.
In conclusion he thanked the con-
gregation for its kindness, and express.
cd the desire that the church would,
at least, occasionally be open for wor-
ship. ,-.

Tired of Greenbackism.

Of what the aim of the leaders of the
Greenhack party is, whether the fol-
lowers know it or not. Democrats
with Greenback tendencies, read and
ponder: ..=as

me wanting. Ycu want men who are

You have perfect right to load your
Greenback boat down to the waters
edge, and lower, with radical freight,
! such as rat traps, eggs out of which
to hatch Garfield chickens, or any
other combustible matter you may
sec fit; but you must allow me the
privilege of disembarking before she
goes down or is blown up. 1 have
been looking for good chance to
get off ever since the Chicago Con-
vention. There the main mast of the
Greenback ship was swept away the
chief pilots were thrown overheard,
and it has only been a question of
time since that fatal storm when the
new built craft must go down to the
bottom of the sea with all on board.
now find myself tolerably comforts

gagged in reading the story of the
prodigal son, and find it a very in
teresting one, and we'll adapted to my
case. would I recommend the read
ing OF it TO all who have been affected
as | have been. And let me further
say to my Greenback friends of Dem
ocratic antecedents, that after read
ing up on all sides-Republicap,
Greenback and Democratic-I do not
believe that AR. Weaver has the
ghost Of a chance to- be elected.
Then, it SINNERS down to contest
between the Democratic party headed
, by Hancock, who is a true represcn-
ta1ive of government by the people,
on one side, and the Republican party,
headed by Gen. Garfield, Gen. Credit
Mobilier, Gen. Custom House Frauds,
Gen. DeGolyer Pavement, Gen. Rail-
road Land Subsidy, and Gen. and
( Chief of the Staff of Election Commits
sion Swindlerg of 1876, on the other
side. This is the issue. Now take
your choice. Weaver is not in the
race, and as / never was much on
mixing drinks, having got sick nearly
every time | took one, l have con-
cluded to take Hancock and the
! Democratic ticket straight this time.
In conclusion, let me invite all my
old Grcenback friends to meet me at
the grand democratic rally, which is
10 take place between Sampsel and

Grandfather Ljckshinole and Dea-

street together yesterday. It was
remarked that two shch venerable
men were not often seen together,
and people raised their hats to them
as they passed along and spoke to
them reverently.
"There is entirely too much bitter
ness in this campaign, deacon" said
Mr.. Liciashingle, .'and L regret it
exceedingly. Now, when we wuz
young men and took an interest in

"Go slow, LickshingIe, 90 slow!'

"0h, | know what I'm talkin'

stabbed the pavement spitcfulIy with
his hickory cane. "Hancock's Z

"An' what's Garfield? Great guns,
