Meeting of the Territorial Loan and Savings
AssncinIIon.

Association.
A number of the stockholders of the Terri
torial Loan and Savings Association met at
Sovorcgns Hall last evening, for the purpose
of discussing plans by which the embez2le-
mont Of their late secretary, Seth Terry,
might be made good. Mr.. Noble was called TO
the chair, and Mr.. +. w. Pratt, the secretary
elected at the last meeting was present. Mr.
Tasco, the treasurer, reported that since the
last meeting he had received upwards Of 5000
from members for dues, and this, together
with S100.S6, was now safely deposited in
bank.
The chair was asked by several present as
to the condition Of tho association, aud what
the board of directors were doing, also whether
any plan had been projected for relief In the
present emergency.
In reply tho chair asked the secretary to
state what had been done by the directors and
what his examination of the books disclosed.
Mr.. Pratt said that the approximate amount
Of Liabilities, as shown by the books, was $59,-
| 900, available assets, including dues, loans and
securities, 32,000 leaving balance on the
wrong side of tho account Of $4,000. This
was the amount of Terry's dedication, and lie
was sorry to say ho feared II would proved q
| total loss. The board of directors had
been busy examining titles to property offered
them, but in nearly every instance they
were encumbercd by mortgages aud were
therefore valuclcss TO the association. For
his part he would recommend that owing to
the crippled condition of the association, they
resolve into rcceivership and divide the
assets, making no distinctions between those
VIII paid in the first series or the last.
| This statement was not of the character an
ticipatcd by the stockholders, and 1t was
decided to appoint committee of five to con-
suit with the board of directors, relative to
the best means of getting back the money
| paid in by them. Messrs. Sullivan, Evans
Brainard, Barstow and Colno were appointed
on the committee and the meeting adjourned.

The large new organ Of st. Lulte's p. f..
church having been completed, will be used
for the first time at the services tomorrow,
and the church officers have felt justified in
making some improvements in the interior of
the church. Tho most notable of these is the
erection of place in the southwest corner for
the choir, by which change the singers are
removed from the ehancel proper, The
change, although not in accord with the
general plan of tho church, which provided
for an organ loft over the main door, is far
preferable to having the singers as heretofore.

tional church. Notwithstanding the weather
was dsagreeably wintry, the attendance was
as full as on all of the previous occasions,
which is rs good q compliment to the profess
sor us the most expeCtant lecturer could de-
sire. The subject which entertained the
audience on this occasion was not less fruitful
of anecdote concerning the great painter than
those of Michael Angelo and Phidias. the
Grecan master. Raphael, like most of the
illustrious disciples of tho palette, spent q
good portion of his life in the famed city of
Floronce, in consequence of which many of
the sacred odifccs Of Florence are froscoed
by his hand. Art at this period
passed out of tho patronage of the
government to a great extent, and was mainly
sustained by private encouragement. The
professor exhibited fine portrait OF his sub
ject taken at the ago of twenty-three. The
sad features of the youthful artist were accu'
rately taken and showed plainly the genius
of the man. Among his many celebrated
paintings are the eutombment of Christ, the
TRANSPORTATION, q score Of Madounas and the
frescoes in the halls Of the Vatican. Raph
ael's death occurred about the middle of the
Fifteenth century. He was summoned by
| the Pope to consult upon some anticipated
| decorations of the church, and having arrived
| in perspiratOn, he contracted cold whil
| standing in the hall, from the effects OF whicl
he died in eight days. Thus ended the lif
OF one of the greatest painters the world eve

Gle of sluRgishness in It's composition The
dialogue is clever, because 10 Is not stereotyncd

points are mostly new. and the characters are
all good, because they are so strongly defined.
There is an agreeable mingling Of the humor-
| Gus and pathetic elements in tho piece, which
| naturally captivates and gains the sympathy
| of all. Mr.. Oliver Doud Byron, who appears
| MS tho Ferret, develops talent in its impersona-
| tion of an excellent order. The first act he
ondows his character with a sort of rugged in

By an ingenious process, pig lead
may it sccL:s, be produced from smoke.
In the process of smelling the ore, 4
great deal Of it, as is known, escapes in
the form of lead fumes-the new
process being devised with q view Of
catching this smoke, and by passing it
through an almost endless line of pipes
Of sheet-iio on and woollen bags, con-
densingi 1t. The result Is tho successful
condcnsing Of the smoke or lead fumes
into the metallic lead, the same as
steam is converted into water. The
product OF the fumes Is Il blush, i'm
palpable powder, which makes splen-
did blue paint, pronounced equal to
the corrodcd article. For the purpose
OF making 1t white, furnaces are en-
ployed, and the blue product, with the
all Of an intense heat, Is again changed
into lead tumes-these being once m ore
condensed, and coming out pure white
lead. In the operation OF thus trans
forming the blue lead into fumes, the
object had in view is to sublimlzoi it all, -,
but the heat is not powerful enough
to do 80.

4 New Ihermo. Electric Battery.-M.
Clamond, French electrician, has sue.
ceeded In devising thermo- electric
battery, producing Il current sufficient
~ powerful to yield the electric light.
a factory In Paris Is now, indeed,
lighted by this means The apparatus
consists of three parts; an inner one,
composed of pieces of iron, arranged
III the form of Il crown, which can be
heated in the interior. This is called
the collector, It's purpose being to col
lcct the heat and then communicate 1t
to the adjacent thermo-pile proper.
This consists of flexible chain, of any
desired length, composed Of cubes OF
antimony and zinc, sOldered together
by sheets Of tin. In the complete ap.
paratus there arc 5000 of these "cou-
ples,' outside which are fixed the plates
of copper to uiifuse the heat
Of the collector. ~ large surface is
thus exposed to the air, in order that as
great Il difference Of temperature az
possible can be maintained between
the collector and the diifuscr, for upon
tins difference the. strength Of the cur
rent chiefly depends. NJ. diamond has
been SO successful that with one of his
batteries he has been enabled to light
two OF Scrrin's lamps, and with
smaller but equally powerful battery
nc can light tour less brilliant lamps
This done with the consumption ofnine
kilogrammcs, or about twenty pounds
OF coke an hour for the larger, and six
and onc-halt pounds for the smaller,
thermo-clcctric battery. The apparl-
tus, moreover, gives warmth as we'll AS

causes 1t to radiate Il considerable
quantity of heat.
