New ELECTRICAL MARyELs.-Doc-
tor Siemens, of Edinburgh, has been
making experiments with electricity
upon growing crops, and has reached
some astonishing conclusions, which
seem to be justified by the tests ne has
been applying. He finds that plants
will grow continuously, winter as well
as summer, if subjected to the electric
light inclosed in glass. 1t has long
been understood that some plants wonlG
grow continuously without any period
of rest. and it now seems that by using
the electric light plant can make as
much progress at night as by day, ana
in winter as we'll as summer: Ii this Is
true, new agricultural era has daWned
upon the world. The grains will have
their seasons shortened, and be much
sooner brought to market if the electric
light is used. while the ability to pro-
d1ce vegetables of all kinds would be
doubled and trebled. Are we not justl-
fed in thinking that SCIENCE will soon
make this world very different one to
live in, and much better than 1t i. mas
been in the past ?-[Demorest's Monthly

The story Of William Delaney, alias,
P. E. Sullivan, one OF the Arkansas
train robbers" is one Of the saddest
known in the history of the state. He
was a young man, only % years OF age,
the son of Presbyterian minister he
had besides a loving and pious mother,
and lovable and affectionate sisters:
But his mind had been poisoned, and
his imagination perverted by reading
the wild and wicked stories of the
Modern Novel. He thought it was
" chivalry" to stop great Rail Road
train and rob the passengers and the
express. And before he thought OF the
matter seriously, he found himself in
dungeon for 20 years. By-and-bye g
letter came from that old mother, and
messages from that aged father and
those dear sisters. He could go to them
no more. The walls of prison were
between them and him. They were
humbled and sorrowing. He gave way
under these, and taking his bed, dice
in few days after, with a broker
heart. What a mournful story-wha
a solemn warning to the youth Of thu
country.-[Ashly County (Ark.) Times

GREAT ExPEcrATIoNs.-Every day
some new suggestion is made as to the
probable uses of electricity. A San
Francisco professor thinks the time is. is
coming when sWamps and sewers will
be deprived of their EMBELLISHMENTS
by strokes of lightning, or, in other
words, by electric currents which will
kill the germs and spores, which COM
municate disease to the human system:
This is based upon the germ theory OF
disease, which is to the effect that ma
larial and other foul air contagious are
due to minute animalculp, or infusoria,
which multiply in the victims body
after incubation. But would it not be
a miracle ii all atmospheres were rem
dered wholesome by electrical dis
charges ? The electric light has made
one change in cities which may lead to
important results. 1t has enabled build
ings and other public works to be con
structed at night as well as day. La
borers are employed in eight and twelve
hour shifts, and ediices are completed
in less than half the time required thar
when only day work cou Id be employed
In summer, laborers prefer to work a
night. Scientists tell us, as yet we onl,
dimly appreciate the marvellous change
that will be wrought by electricity II

The Rapides We The People gives

The Rapides We The People gives
the following account of the race that
took place at Alexandria, on the 2lst
ult., between the horse Prescott of this
parish, and the mare Gold Mine of that
parish. We understand our boys win
nings were limited only by the amount
they had to bet.
At o'clock P. NJ, in the midst of a
heavy shower Of rain, the horses made
their appearance on the track for the
preparatory canter, both of which
seemed in excellent trim for the pend
ing contest. 1t was now observed that
the line was drawn between St. Landry
and Rapides, and the horses were being
backed solidly by their friends of the
respective parishes, At 3:15 the horses
were stripped" for the race. The
fine form and animated appearance of
Gold Mine had the effect of stimulating
her hackers and intimidating the friends
of Prescott, and odds were now offered,
land in some instances reluctantly
taken,) that she would prove the victor.
But, as the sequel shows, the old mare,
who has foaled five colts, (including
twins,) had the disposition, but not the
ability-in other words, she had it in
her head" At precisely $3.50 the horses
were placed in position for the start,
and received a beautiful ,send-off from
the judges. Prescott had the score, and
maintained his lead from start to finish,
winning easily under a pull in 1856.
Several thousand dollars changed hands
on the result.

Aadmission to the pearly gates' would
prevent his paying an honest debt. But
we are painfully in doubt now as to
whether religion makes man honest.
At any rate we would be glad to hear
from the Reu. G. Thompson on this sub
iect before his admission to the pearly
gates.r We are not particularly in a

matter sometime between now and his
admission to the pearly gates" We
