room, followed by a sulphurous odor. The bolt had probably been attracted to one of the chains which secure the building, and glancing, entered a window, cracking every pane but one. The case of type standing by the window was next visited, and the con tents of every box in the nearest half distri- buted through the case and over the floor mixing it thoroughly into ''pi, " though the further half was untouched. A compositor had left the case scarcely two minutes before the shock came. From there the lightning jumped across to the front of the office, up- set 8 washbowl full of water, and departed, leaving no further signs of it's presence.
 The telegraph operator at the Summit House, noticing the distant flashes of ligkt- ming, stepped to the switch to disconneot his instruments. A ball of fire entered on the wire, and exploded on the switch board al- most in his face. He escaped uninjured One of the wires was melted of near the door, and the fire ran along the wires on the ceiling of the office, and was plainly seen dripping in molten drops t. the floor.
 In the rear of the hotel, from the chamber windows, a bolt apparently several inches in diameter was seen to descend the large chim- ney by the iron bands which support it. and entered the kitchen below, causing general panic among the inmates. One young lady went into violent mysteries, was carried into another building, and after a few moments of inconsistencies was revived, though re- COA'AhS NAO1OAS oLOSA III 1C5 IudQ CdD6I- ings in the kitchen the bolt seemed to divide, the number of sparks being innumerable After thoroughly frightening. all, it again ascended the chimney and departed A very severe shock was given to the chief cook, whose hands were paralyzed for some time.
 The signal officers were startled by the en- trance into their office of bolt of lightning which scorched the telephone and burned a hole the size of large shot through Obser- yer Lingley's felt hat.
 But the most serious damage done at the Summit was in the geodetic survey station on top of the tower. On the previous even ing the instrument owned by the government and used in the survey had been carefully covered as usual with rubber coat. When the observatory was entered after the storm, the coat was found melted into two balls and lying on the wooden tripod Two of the three spirit levels were broken, and the graduated circle for reading the angles was so blackened as to be useless.
 Within ten minutes after the first shock two more fireballs exploded on the rocks near the hotel, but caused no injury. With these parting shots the lightning subsids

THE WATER CoMPANY's sTATEMEN1

THE WATER COMPANY's STATEMENT.
 The Water Company's statement of what it will claim if the city takes it's property s'by paying to said company a sum equal in amount to the capital stock of said company actually paid in by the stockholders and ex- pended by said company in the construction of the works of said company, together with an interest of ten per cent. per annum on the several installments of said stock from the respective times when the said stock shall have been so paid in till the time of said company is printed on another page. The secretary of the company informs the Auditor that he has complied as nearly ass possible with the instructions of the law, and that the books of the company are at all times at the proper disposal of the proper city authorities
 The amount claimed by the company un- der the contract is $2, 222, 236.1 Il. This is a large sum, but if the company's figuring is correct the city must pay it if it takes the waterworks. There will also be other pay ments to make before the city can really own it's water supply, bringing the entire cost up to at least g., 500, ,OOO, and some think even more. The question for the vot- CTS to consider is whether the city will gain anything by making this large expenditure. when it can, by simply renewing it's contract, continue matters in their present very satis- factory condition. For our own part, we cannot see what the city is going to gain by change

MIR. .CHANDLER,S PLATFoRM

Why the Hon. William E. Chandler, now a member of the New Hampshire Legislature, should feel it his duty at this time to ask the members of that body to adopt Republican party platform constructed by him is not ex- actly plain. The Boston Aduertiser thinks it looks very much as if Mir. Chandler had a notion that it was his duty to set forth in ad- vance of the season of State conventions a model of what Republican platforms should be this year for the guidance of such per- sons, with no very definite ideas of their own, as may be called in the several States to the business of doing that duty for Re- publican conventions Be this as it may, he has produced platform. It is ststalwart, of course, and after declaring that, in re- public, the right to free ballot is the right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be maintained in every portion of the United States, says ''In the American republic, southern slaveholders began a bloody civil war in order to strengthen, perpetuate and extend human bond age. Northern freemen, at the cost of 300, 900 loyal lives and $6, 900, 900, ,00e, suppressed the rebellion, abolished slavery, and gave the emancipated citizens the right to free ballot. Unrepentant southern reb- els assailed that right, and by intimidation, terrorizing and systematic election practices destroyed free suffrage at the South, took all political power from loyal voters and gave it solely and unrestrainedly to rebels fresh from the slaughter of Union soldiers on the battlefield, retaining by fraud and violence the power which it first gained by murder" It is further asserted that it is the first, high est and most sacred duty of the national gov ernment to prosecute and punish the south erners for their crimes against the suffrage with the utmost vigor under all existing laws; of the national Congress, to enact other and more effective statutes for the peace and pu- rity of national elections, and of the whole psople, by every possible means, to demand, secure and maintain for every citizen the right to freely cast and have honestly count ed his ballot, which, thus made effective, will preserve to him every other right of Ameri- can citizenship. There is also demand for national encouragement of the American common school system in States where it does not exist, or is inadequate for general 0ouCdIlOu, uSClhEd6lOu Ol 6u0 uubJ Ol bu0 President and heads of departments to h unt down corruption and incompetence in the civil service and to remove all unfaithfu1 off cers, and an admission that the evils growing out Of the present system of official patron age should be lessened by law, that practical reform of the civil service should not be longer delayed, joined with suggestion of measure of remedy which is in the direction of reform. Finally protective tariff and the revival of American shipping advo- cated.
 We repeat that we do not know why MT. Chandler should break out in this fashion ln the quiet summer time, but his platform is not on the whole as bad as it might be. It has been adopted by one branch of the Leg islature

 He bounced all her beaus,

6s. 44d.; Hull, 9s. sad.; and London, ss. 4d. When the system of compulsory, education was first introduced it was confidently stated that the rates would decline. While the sum contributed by the ratepayers is ss. 73d less per child than the average sum contributed in 1s75-6, the government grants have been so increased as to make up the difference, and, as these grants must be valued by taxes, it results in merely change in the name of the contribution.

The new Chicago system of telephonic sentry boxes for the police department has been adopted in Cincinnati. The boxes are connected by wires with the station houses, and the patrolmen are required to communi- cate with the captain or sergeant at brief in- tervals from distant boxes. Thus the super vision usually performed by roundsmen be- comes a matter of mechanical certainty, and there is little chance for shirking. The wires are also of great utility in sending out hur- ried orders, and in calling for assistance. A wagon is kept ready at each station to convey officers quickly in answer to summons.
 A Washington gentleman suggests that the Presidents recovery be commemorated by a "Garfeld Memorial Hospitar' on the spot where he received his wound, which is said to be government reservation, and not the property of the railroad company. He ad- vises that the Commissioners of the District confer with the governors of States and ter
 ritories, who may appeal to their citizens for contributions, that our ministers and consuls be invited to announce their willingness to receive the offerings of the governments and people of the countries to which they are accredited, and at the proper time that Con- gress should pass an act establishing the hos pital on such basis that it may be open without cost to the deserving poor of all parts of the country, the model hospital of the world, and the pride of every American
 In the report of the English Board of Edu- cation for 1880 is shown the cost of edncat- ing one child under the various school boards, and the differences are remarkable. The cost to the ratepayer of educating one child under the Hull school board was 3s. 2ad.; under the Sheffield school board, 6s 24d.; under the Liverpool school board, 16s. Id, and under the London school board, ei 13s. I'd. Thus Hull educates something less than ten children, and Sheffield something more than five, for the same sum for which London educates one child. While there are considerable differences in the sums drawn from the parents by the boards, they gre but tri6ing when compared with those just no ticed. Birmingham draws from each scholar

HECK ER,S PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal Ss Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75, ,O0O) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed- ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuiD than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test its superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- icaIly expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.
