The smoke of London has become sucl

The smoke of London has become such

men of science are, at last, taking hold of
the matter in earnest. DIR. G. w. Sic.

generative gas-furnace, which has work
ed such change in the manufacturing
use of fuel, has conceived simple CRATE,
which accomplishes the purpose by using
jets of gas, playing upon mass OF coke
in the CRATE. He considers the use Of
raw coal essentially "barbarous, and
shows that far more economical and
perfectly smokeless fire is obtained by
first decomposing the bituminous coal
into gas and coke, and then burning the
products, under properly regulated con-
ditions. But gas in London cost only 81
cents a thousand feet, so that his figures
will hardly apply in this country. Scott
Moncrisff proposes slightly different
plan-that the gas companies should
only take from the coal they use about
one-third of the gas they now get from
it. The coke left would then be, he as
serts, quite as valuable fuel as the raw
coal itself and would give q smokelesa
fire. But the gas companies would have
to handle three times as much coal as
now.

A NEW FUEL.
Something to Cause Cold Shivcrs to
Coal Companies.

NEW YORK, JAN 3l.-Exhiblon was
given to-day in Jersey City Of a new
fuel, combination Of petroleum and
straw and the exhibition was such a
satisfactory nature that results are
promised of Importance not easily ex-
aggerated. COL Rose, of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, says locomotive can
be run from New York to Philadelphia
for 81 instead of $25 as now with coal.
The Commercial says, "To produce
the combustion nothing more is neces-
sary than by means of an atomizer to
unite dry steam and crude petroleum,
only a common inch pipe beng used
for this purpose, one for steam the
other for oil, with cocks to regulate
the flow. The junction is MADE within
six inches of a perforated brick retort,
which it enters and instantly on match
being applied the whole interior of the
furnace, an ordinary reveroating smelt-
ing furnace, became intensly heated, so
much SO that all exposed surfaces may
be easily fused. If applied to a steam
boiler, on locomotive or ship board, it
is only necessary to place retorts made
Of fire clay on the CRATE bars thus pro-
tecting the boiler plates from injury.

A Confederate Christmas.
I'D. MeCabe in the American !

Christmas day. 1864, was the confeder-
ate Christmas har ercellence. Outside
supplies of all kinds had disappeared and
whatever comforts were provided were
of home manufacture. The Confederate
dollar was now worth just two cents in
gold. and flour was $500 a barrel; sugar
was $50 pound; salt, 81; butter. $40: and
beef, $35 to $40 pound. Wood sold at
800 a cord, and coal was not to be had,
save in few of the cities, owing to scar
city of transportation. The day was
Sunday, which, in itself, would have
tempered the usual merriment. At a
country residence below Richmond, and
not far from the lines of the contending
armies, a party Of seven-ladies and gen.
tlemen all, in the strictest southern sense
of the ternl-were assembled at dinner.
The mansion had been proverblal for its
hospitality before the war: now the wei
come was as cordial as ever, but the board
was spread in accordance with the ne
cessities of the times. At the head of the
table was placed large ham, worth $500,
at the foot was the last turkey the farm
could boast, worth $175. The vegeta.
bles consisted of cabbage, potatoes and
hominy worth, at a reasonable calcula-
tion, 800. Corn-bread was served. flour
having been unknown in this house for
months. The meal of which it was made
was worth $50 bushel, and the salt that
seasoned it's pound. Dessert, there
was none, but in it's place the hostess
provided a coarse black molasses. worth
$50 gallon. The same kind lady, as a
rare treat for her guests, brought out.
with glow of pride, a steaming urn of
real tea--not sassafras-worth 800 a
pound, at the same time warning the
company that they must expect one cup
apiece, as this was the last of her store.
After this there was 'coffee" made from
sweet-potatoes cut into little bits. toasted
brown and ground into powder. Such
was Confederate Christmas dinner in
the last winter of the war. From this
superb repast the scale descended to army
rations-a bit of salt pork, corn bred anC

Views on the General Resurre ctiOn


MR.. EDITOR 1T will be remembered
that I alluded to the above subject
through your columns sometime since.
But as it is subject that all are more or
less interestedin, Twill briefly present my
views for the public through your wor-
thy columns again.
In regard to the state of souls after
death both universally and particularly,
it is the common belief at this day that
human souls after death are mere aerial
beings of which it is impossible to form
any idea but as of vapor or exhalation.
But on these points there are various
opinions. Some suppose them to be
ethereal or aerial forms, hence they are
like ghosts and spectres; some dwelling
in the air, and some again that after
thousands of years they return into ma
terial bodies. But the general supposi-
tiOn is that they are reserved till the time
when the old armament, together with
the terraqueous globe, will be destroyed,
and this is to be effected by fire. either
bursting from the centre of the earth or
cast down froun heaven in universal
blaze of lightning; that then the graves
will be opened and the souls that were re-
served will be clothed again with their
bodies and be translated into that holy
city, Jerusalem. there to dwell together
on another earth in purified bodies Some
suppose that stars will fall from heaven
upon the earth which is smaller than any
OF them Should you ask clergyman
whether he believes all these things, some
of them will make no reply, and insist
that they are matters of faith to which
the understanding must be kept in obedi-
ence; and some will argue that it is the
work of Divine Omnipotence. Almost all
will acknowledge that perfection only
dwells in the wisdom of God, consequent
iy His Divine order must be perfect-and
if any one supposes that God can act out
side of His Divine order they are much
mistaken. And when it comes to that
that men believe that the antediluvian'
and the postdiluvians with Noah and hi
