Price Four Cent:

allowed to pass till the battery is supplied for this application-is to do for the electric light what a water cistern in house does fer an incoDstant water supply. A little battery of seven of the boxes described by your cor respondent suffices to give the incandescence in Swan or Edison lights to the extent of 100 candles for six hours without any per ceptible diminution of brilliancy Thus instead of needing a gas engine or steam engine to be kept at work as long as the light is wanted, with the liability of the light failing at any moment through the slipping of a belt-an accident of too fre- quent oocurrence-or any other breakdown or stoppage of the machinery, and instead of the wasteful inactivity during the hours of day or night when the light is not re- quired, the engine may be kept going all day and stopped at night or may be kept going day and night, which will undoubtedly be the most eco- nomical plan when the electric light comes into general enough use The Faure accumulation, always kept charged from the engine by the house supply wire, with proper automatic stop to check the supply when the accumulator is full, will be always ready at any hour of the day or night to give whatever light is required. Precisely the same advantages in respect to force will be gained by the accumulator when the electric town supply is, as it surely will be before many years pass, regularly used for turning lathes and other machinery in workshops and sewing machines in private houses.
 Another very important application of the accumulator is for the electric lighting of steamships. dynamo electric machine of very moderate magnitude and expense, driv- en by belt from drum on the main shaft working through the twenty four hours, will keep Faure accumulator full, and thus notwithstanding irregularities of the speed of the engine at sea or occasional stoppages, the supply of electricity will al- ways be ready to feed Swan or Edison lamps in the engine room and cabins, or are lights for mast head and red and green side lamps, with more certainty and regularity than have yet been achieved in the gas supply for any house on terra .f1naa.

How Children Should be Clothed m
 Warm Weather.
 From the Popular Science Monthlyl
 A loose shirt, linen jacket and short linen trowsers are the right summer dress for healthy boy-a dalmatica and light straw hat for healthy girl-in country where the six warmest months approach the isotherms of southern Spain, No wadded coats, no drawers, and, in the name of reason, no fannels nor shoes and stockings, unless the mud is very deep on the road to school recently macadam- ized. The long-Gved races of eastern Eu- rope would laugh at the idea that the consti- tuition of normal human being could be en- dangered by all April shower, or that in the dog days ''health and decency' require woolen cuticle from neck to foot.
 Have dogmas and hearsays entirely closed our senses to the language of instinct, to the meaning of the discomfort, the distracting uneasiness under the burden of load of ca iorific covers and bandages. while every pore of our skin cries out for relief, for the cool ing influence of the free open air? Keep your children under lock and key, lest the sun should spoil their complexion or their mor- als, let them pass their days in an under ground dungeon like Kaspar Hauser, but do not load them with woolen trappings at time when even linen robe becomes a Nessus- shirt There is story of a glutton being cured by friend who persuaded him to eat auu OTluk LOT GWouCy-IOuF W1CQOuG ting an equivalent in quantity and quality in- to an earthen crock, and the next day made him inspect the cOlSecta,aeG: and on the same principle person of common sense might perhaps be redeemed from the slavery of the dress mania, by making him wrap up his com plete suit of traps, and weigh the bundle; he would find that the summer dress of fash ionable gentleman outweighs the winter coat of the most hirsute brute of the wilderness. A grizzly bear shorn to the skin would yield about ten pounds of hair and wool but a dandy's accoutrements- nts-fannel undershirt, drawers, shoes, stockings starched overshirt cravat, black dresscoat and pantalOons-would weight at least fourteen pounds. Habit miti- gates the evil, though there are times when the martyrs of fashion suffer more in single hour than 8 ragged Comanche in the coldest winter week; but, for boys and young girls. calorifc food and woolen cloths certainly make the sunniest days the saddest in the year.

A very interesting and useful part of the census reports will be the classification of the dependent, defective and delinquent classes of the country, to be prepared by Mir. Fred H. Wines, secretary of the Illinois State board of charities. The frst volume will re- late to crime and criminal jurisprudence. A complete analysis of the criminal statutes of every State showing what offenses are pun ishable and the minimum and maximum F ren- atty for first and succeeding offences will be given, and in the same connection it is pro- posed to furnish 8 correct and uniform nom enclature and classification of otfenses. Next will follow 8 statistical record of the entire criminal docket of the country for the twelve months preceding the census year and a statement showing the actual prison popula-

ton June l, 1880, with an enumeration of crimes The subject of prison labor and management and general prison discipline will form a considerable part of the inquiry. The end in view is to furnish the basis for solving the question, 'tHow can the volume of crime be diminished ?" Another subject to be considered will be paup~rism, and in this part of the examination attention will be given to the condition of homeless children and the agencies provided for their support and education. Under the term defective classes are included the deaf and dumb, the blind, the insane and idiotic, and besides an analysis of these classes interesting details will be given of their state and condition, with full account of the institutions estab- ished for their treatment and the methods employed to alleviate their misfortunes.
 Four years ago large portion of the city of St. John N. B., was laid in ashes. To- day hardly 8 trace of the great fire remains The burnt portion of the city has been al- most entirely rebuilt, and the St. John of to- day is much finer city than the St. John of four years ago. Of the new buildings 1,193 are wooden dwellings, 359 brick dwellings, 249 wooden business blocks, 475 brick busi- ness blocks, 679 wooden buildings of miscel- laneous character, and 452 brick buildings of the same class. All the churches but one have been rebuilt and are included in the last mentioned buildings. They are all beautiful ediices and for size and architectural beauty far surpass the original buildings. The new cus- tom house and postoffice are now completed and occupied. The new buildings are valued by the inspector of buildings at about $6, 5O0,- 900, of which $5, 400, GOO is credited to private buildings, and $1, 1O0 GOO to buildings of a public character.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Duke of Cambridge, who commands the British army, admits that it has been thoroughly beaten by the Boers, but attrib- utes this to the want of stability in the young troops, less from youth than from not know ing each other and their officers, and in a far greater degree from too much having been attempted against foe of exceptional quail ty. The policy of fighting against large odds has been successfully pursued by Eng land for centuries, but now that weapons are making men more equal, 'tit cannot,'' says the Duke, ''be done with impunity."

THE REVENUE LAWS.
from the Now Orleans Stntes.

lFrom the Now Orleans Stntes.l
The revenue laws enacted by tho last
Legislature, have proved utterly inei-
fectiVc, both as to tho State and city,
to secure to tho Government and peo-
pie tho constitutional guarantee ofjust
and equal taxation, and of revenue
adequate to the support of efficient
government, State and municipal.
These laws appear to have been franz
cd entirely in the interest of rich cor
porations, large capitalists, and the
bonded creditors of tho State and city.
The assessment law virtually cXcInpts
tho principal banking corporations, by
furnishing a contrivancc and facilities
for evading the assessment on the CAPT
tai employed by them.
1t is only necessary to invest their
capital and assets in United States and
State bonds to hold the same, how large
soever, beyond the reach of taxatiOns
Thus these corporations arc enabled to
conduct enormous and most profitable
business without paying Il dollar Of tax
TO State or city. Whilst every trader,
merchant and professional man is taxed
on his little capital and his business,
these large institutions, which arc roll
ing up millions OF profit on their CAPT
tai, 90 scot free Of all burdens to sup.
port the state and city government.
Can there be any more glarins proof OF
the gross inequality Of the mode o
taxation provided by our last lcgisia
ture whose whole legislation appears tt
have been shaped and controlled In tht
interest of the large corporations ant
capitalists.
! Then the assessment laws have bcc1
construed so as to enable large dealer
to defy and cvado tho assessment upO
their sales and revenue. There is II
compulsory power by which thcamour

Of their business and revenues can be
ascertained, no authority to examine
their books, or even to cross examine
and investigate tho same.
Their own statements must be acceD-
ted by the Assessor.
1t is y humiliatinG fact that such
statements are rarely just and correct.
They do not conform to other evidences,
OF which tho Assessor ia unable to avail
himself.
\ large cotton merchant said yester-
day, that hrOther factor who had sold
$4,000 bales OF cotton last year, made
return to the Assessor OF revenue
upon which his tax was only twenty
dollars.
An assessment law which facilitates
such evasions and fraud upon the State,
needs immediate correction.
In justice to the honest Taxpayers Of
the State 1t is imperatively demanded
of our Legislature that some better and
more efficient law be enacted.
Besides the escape and exemption
furnished to capitalists and corpora
tons through the existing revenue
laws, it is evident that the provisions
for securing the bondholders have been
made at tho sacrifice of tho necessary
alimony of the State and city; that
both the State and City revenues are
Inadequate for the support Of tho Gov
eminent Whilst the Fiscal Agent of
the State has on deposit million of
dollars of the interest fund, the general
fund of this State has been overdraWn
| to the amount of four hundred thousand
dollars, warrants for which are hawked
at Il large discount through the streets.
So of this city. Tho Syndicate consti-
tutcd to protect the interest of the bond
holders has larger fund than is re-
quired Tor that purpose, whilst tho
general fund for the administration of
the city is utterly bare aud empty.
Laws producing these shameful, OPP
pressive, demoralizinE effects should
not be permitted to remain any longer
on the statute book than may be re-
quircd for tho converting of tho IIegis-
lature. Their effects certainly create
tho emergency and necessity upon
which tho Governor has declared his
purpose to convoke that body. =.
