ELECTRICITY VERSUS GAS.

Messrs. Henry Morton, Alfred NJ.
Mayer and B. f. Thomas, of the Stevens
Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N. j.,
have been making an investigation into the
economic value of Mr.. Edison's horseshoe
electric lamp as compared with gas. The
result, as given in the Scientific american,
may be summed up as follows:
Five pounds of gas coal will yield twenty
five cubic feet of gas which, if burned in
five gas burners of the best construction,
will give from twenty to twenty-five candles
each, or 100 candles to 40 candles in the
aggregate. Twelve Edison lamps produces
12O candles, and the five gas burners pro-
duce 100 to 10 candles, with an equivalent
expenditure of fuel. If each apparatus
aud system could be worked with equal
facility and economy, this would of course
show something in favor of the electric
light; but when, in fact, everything in this
regard is against the electric light, which
demands vastly more machinery, and that
of a more delicate kind, requires more skill
full management, shows more liability to
disarrangement and waste, and presents an
utter lack of the storage capacity which Sc
cures such o vast efficiency, convenience
and economy i'll gas, then this relatively
trihing economy disappears or ceases to
have any controlling importance in the
practical relations of the subject. So

OLD AGE.

Notwithstanding all learned theorizing to
the contrary, there is no rule of living by
which old age may DO secured. In a long
list given of people who lived to be GEN.
fury old, no two existed amid the same con-
ditions. Some were paupers, many were
Woodworking people i'll common life. Most
likely not half dozen in the whole lot
knew anything about their inside. They
lived in variety of ways. The diet of a
woman who lived to be III is said to have
been buttermilk and green's, Of which We have
some doubt. Some were very temperate,
and others quite the reverse. One old fell
low who reached 1Ot drank pint and a
half of London gin daily. An Irishman
who lived to be Ill dunk plentifully of
rum and brandy till the last. With excep-
tons of that kind, to be reckoned wonders
in nature, temperance and simplicity of
diet were the chief characteristics. Old age
had to be attained not by any hard and fast
rule, but by number of different circum-
stances, as seen by general experience.

IMMIGRANTS FROM New JERsEY.-A
copy of the New Jersey Couram of
March 30th is before us. From it
we learn of the formation Of colony
of forty Or fifty families, for the pur-
pose of emigrating to Washington
Territory. The paper says that one
party has already started for the
Pacific, and another WAS to start
about the middle of April. A letter
is referred to which informs the col
ony arrangements have been made
which secure reduced rates of fare
when several families go in company.
The usual rate for single first class

passage from Jersey City to San
Francisco is S134, but under the
arrangement made by the members
of the colony the rate is reduced to
$50 for adults. with half rates for
children between ) and II years of
age. Each passenger is entitled to
carry one hundred pounds of bag
gage; all i'll excess of that amount to
be charged for at the rate of s. per
one hundred pounds The fare from
San Francisco to the Territory is SO,
making the fare for the entire trip
SO. The writer goes on to say:
Those who wish to make Il new
home, cannot do better than to To-
cate in Washington Territory, as it
has 80 many resources that any hon
est workman is afforded ample OPP
portnnity to do well. Gov. Newell
has written some very hatterng lot
tiers to parties here in reference to the
country, the prospects OF settlers
the fertility of the soil, heal,hful-
ness of the climate, etc. Those who
propose going should start as early
as possible in the Spring, in order
that they may be able to put in their
crops and get fair start We be-
lieve that the first party, above re-
ferred to, came up on the last Da-
kOta. There is room here for all
New Jersey, and we trust and be-
ieve that this colonyis only one of
many to come to our Territory from
that State during the next few years.

Hayes Itching for Office.
CoLUMBrs, April 10. - Rather q
strange rumor is current here to-day
to the effect that ex-President Hayes
already begins to tire of private life,
and is at least willing to again enter
politics if there should seem to be a

Ohio is said to be considerably agit-

even Republican journals expect
falling off from their usual vote next
fall, owing to tie disaffection of Ger

A Swiss paper mentions that in pulling
down the old town barracks at Brunswick,
recently, part of the original facade
of Henry the Lions palace was found built
in the one of the walls. A window, divided
into three parts by two exquisitely- executed
and well-preserved pillars, with Roman
capitals, has already been laid bare, and
little doubt is entertained that the entire
eastern facade of the historic building will
be susceptible of restoration.

It is said that the fish in

- 1t is said that the fish in several
creeks of this county are dying up. The
cause is attributed to the saw mills on
those creeks. These mills are so con.
structed as to allow all the sawdust to fall
il the water, and the sawdust killsthe fish.
Saw mills are very useful institutions,
but they should not be allowed to destroy
the fish of our streams, since the State
has spent so much money in the effort
to improve the fish in her limits. We
suggest that the Fish Commissioner
look into the matter.--AbberiWe Medi.

Among the various rumors following
the designations of the New York Sena.
tors is one to the effect that combina-
ton will be made in the Legislature Of
tha. State between the Democrats and
Independent Republicans by which the
Senatorial vacancies will be filled by one
Democrat and one of the anti -Conk-
ling Republicans. Such course would
be death blow to Conkling and the
machine, and is too good to be effected.
We have no doubt that Ccnkling and
Platt know just how many votes they
can secure for reelection, and have re-
signed to be endorsed by the Legislature
of New York. This, they think, will
strengthen their position before the coun-
try, but such disguise is too poor to &C.
complish anything for the stalwarts.
The country knows that New York Re-
publicans are controlled by the party
machine, and of course the boss will be
endorsed.

The Republican caucus of the Senate
has become panic-stricken by the fight
in their party, and have determined to
act at once upon the Presidents nomina"
tions, and adjourn probably this week.
They have given up all hope of electing
Senate officers, and are in such a straight
that they are even willing to elect q
President pro tempo-e from among the
Democrats, and have named Senator
Harris, of Tennessee, as Senator they
would be willing to accept for this posi-
ton. Their Generalization may be i'm
agined from their haste to get away from
Washington. The fight which the Dem.
ocrats have made has proven very disas-
trous to them, and they do not care to
run the risk of any new complications.
SO much may be credited to the account
of little backbone on the part Of the
Democrats.
