THE ELECTRIC LIGHT IN PARIS,

The RECORD UNIONS Paris correspondent
says: "There have been several trials of the
electric light at the Grand Opera House,
and although the foyer and halls have been
so Illuminated on several occasions, it is
the first time electricity has made its ap-
pearance In the great sale. A grand gala
night was given in honor of the members of
the different Commissions of the late Elec-
trical Exhibition, when the President OF
the republic and other high officials at
tended. The evenings performance was
made up of choice programme, consisting
of the most charming acts of different op-
eras, and portions of the most fascinating
ballots. Each company was given differ
ent portion of the house in which to exhibit
their Examinations. Those who were ac-
corded the lighting of the stage were unable
to be ready in time, and so the usual gag
lights were used /; but so much do peoples
Imagination travel ahead of them that
many were heard to exclaim what beau
tiful effect the electric light had on the
actors, actresses, etc., and that it was easy
to perceive the marked improvement on
gas. To the Edison light has been given
the entire foyer, and SO occupied are they
all with the lighting up of this marvellous
hall that there is scarcely any one left in
the rooms of the Exposition to answer the
numerous questions of the visitors, and the
many delicate machines stand pouting in
their corners because they are not hidden
to talk. The Edison Company have lately
changed their two engines for one large
one, and with this one engine, instead of
lighting only the two rooms of their pri-
vate exhibition, they light also the entire
ceiling of the grand staircase OF the build.

sisted OF great undigested mass of unveri-
ned statements, pitched into one disorderly
heap, and In that slovenly fashion presented
to the public. Diffuseness is indeed a
conspicuous vice of public officials. Every
one OF them thinks it necessary to write a
voluminous report when he has nothing
whatever to tell, and all these stupid and
useless reports are printed. No country
ever saw such wantonness and extrava-
gance in the preservation of effete mat
ter. The publication of public documents
is three-fourths waste of money, time and
everything else. Revision, supervision,
editing, is called for in all the departments.
Ii Government condensation bureau were
established and put in competent hands, it
would save couple OF millions year in
this item alone, aud it would produce even
better results than that, for it would ex-
tract all that was really important from
all the reports, and SO would furnish the
public with accessible information of ster-
ling value. Such an agency would pay for
itself in the first three months, but pre-.
cisely because it is 30 much required there
is no hope that it will be established. No
doubt we shall go on in the old way in.

WILL BE WATCHED WITH INTEREST

The Cashier Of the Period may be ex-
pected to watch with almost personal
interest the case Of the Kansas banker who
has been taken possession of by the angry
creditors of the bank he had Just skillfully
broken, and who has heen afforded the
disagreeable alternative of sudden death
or plenary restitution. What makes the
episode the more fascinating is that the
Kansas creditors appear to be thoroughly
in earnest, and extremely likely to exc
cute their threat if their prisoner does not
disgorge. The Cashier of the Period will
naturally find in this occurrence the ma.
terials for somewhat disquieting reflections.
Should the Kansas Cashier be hanged by
his inappeasable depositors, his fate is
Liable to operate suggestively hereaf er. It
may in fact become very awkward ard
embarrassing precedent, and considering
the epidemic form which Cashierism has
taken lately, no one could wonder if even
so violent remedy as this came into ia.
vor. Punch once expressed the opinion
that the only way to put stop to railroad
accidents arising from carelessness was to
fasten a railroad director in front of the
locomotive. By similar train of reason
ing it might be concluded that the only
way to put stop to bank.smashing was
to hang Cashier on the scene of his fnan-
cial impurities. And while no doubt preju-
dices exist against recourse to these rude
and peremptory remedies, it must be ad-
mitted, upon reflection, that there is a
good deal to be said for the Kansas plan.

GAMBErFA on TUNIs.

Gambetta appears to have made rather a
weak defense of the Tunis expedition, and
to have failed to meet the objections
urged against it by the opposition. He
certainly did not make it clear whether or
not he was in favor of annexation. His
talk about the foreign policy of France
was vague, resembling too closely the
familiar looseness of stump oratory. 1t is
evident that he will have to face the con-
sequences of this African expedition, for if
TuRis is to be annexed the step involves
the maintenance of large army of occu.
patton in the conquered territory; and if
1t is not to be annexed, it is clear that the
withdrawal of the army will practically
obliterate all the work already done there.
1t is country which cannot be held by a
small force, and which viii not repay oc.
cupation by large one. Nor can Gam.
beta expect the approval of the French
people for scheme which would take
away and keep away large army contin-
ually. Such programme would naturally
be thought more in accordance with Ger
man wishes than French. Yet either this
must be done, or Gambetta must wash his
hands of the whole business, and permit
the expedition to be set down as mistake
and failure. The indications are that he
refuses to make this admission, and there.
fore he must explain how he proposes to
solve the problem of retaining possession
of Tunis. And as the military commanders
do not appear to have settled this perplex-
ing question at all to their own satisfac-
tion, it seems probable that Gambetta will
not find it an easy task.

suspect that if he did such a thing the Gal
lican clergy would ignore it. and go on
marrying and burying and preaching as
usual, he is probably disinclined to proceed
to extremities. And this is the real diem
ma of the Vatican. 1t no longer possesses
any weapons which are effective. No gov
eminent cares anything for papal excom-
munications and interdicts. Bulls and en-
cyclicals are impotent. The fulminations
which formerly made thrones tremble
are regarded in these days with
smiling indifference. The Pope there
fore certainly shows judgment in
deciding to temporize with France. 1t is
true that she has expelled the monastic or
ders and the Jesuits. 1t is true that Gam
beta has put in his Cabinet NJ. Paul Bert,
who is the proclaimed foe of priesthood,
and who is now to control the educational
and religious machinery of the State. It's
true that the Vatican has nothing to ex.
pect from the French Republic but a
further extension of the anti clerical sen.
timent and legislation which have already
proceeded so far. But there is no help for
it. The Vatican is powerless, and as the
case stands the only plainly sensible
course for it is that of passivity. 1t il
true that this course cannot be expected tc
remedy anything, but neither will any
other that is within the reach of thu
papacY.

BALLOONS FOR ARCTIC SEARCH.

1t Is not little singular that the use of
the captive balloon for the purposes of
Arctic research has not been thought of
heretofore. 1t has been discussed as an
adjunct to naval expeditions in time of
war, and it has been shown that it can be
employed effectively in attacks upon land
forts by vessels at sea, but though it pos
sesses some peculiar advantages for Arctic
search, it has never been suggested. When
for instance an Arctic explorer has been
pushing forward through ics foes, and at
length finds his way blocked, the use of
the captive balloon would enable him to
ascertain whether the barrier in front of
him was really impossible, or whether it
was merely large ice field with clear wa
ter beyond it. The balloons could also be
used with great advantage amid broken
ice, to pilot the ship into the best channel.
Its scientific uses would be very numerous,
and it could often be employed to solve
perplexiog questions of direction, and to
ascertain the whereabouts of consorts. In
fact the captive balloon appears to be a
natural ally of the Arctic voyager, and it
is remarkable that 10 attempt has yet been
made to take one on any of the more recent
polar expeditions.

it is by this time quite apparent that he

it is by this time quite apparent that ne
employs the iargon solely for its presump-
tive effect upon the jury, and not because
he believes in it himself. Scoville appears
to have thought that by putting his client
on the witness-stand his eccentricities
would be so conspicuously displayed as to
give fresh support to the plea of insanity,
but the event has not indicated his judg-
ment, for Guiteau's delight in his own
skill of fence is SO great as to overpower
all prudential considerations, and it might
be supposed by stranger that he was
really doing his utmost to establish his
complete sanity. And he is fully aware
of the dangerous points in his own doc
trine. When Judge Porter touches upon
one of these Guiteau at once stimulates ex-
citement and anger, and abruptly refuses
to discuss the subject any longer. Now
this is not at ali the manner of lunatic.
The latter would at such junctures expose
his mental alteration by vehemently
asserting his favorite decisions, and he
would challenge contradiction of his
statements with the utmost assur-
ance. But Guiteau has not studied
mental pathology, and does not know how
a genuine murderer would act. He him
self yields always to his master.passion,
which is his self-conceit, and to exhibit
himself in the most impressive way he is
ready to destroy his counsel's scheme of
defense without conjunction. The pros
ecution has drawn him out with very little
trouble, for he has helped it by his own
eagerness to get the better of his inter-
rogator. After this exposition of his san
ity Mr.. Scoville will have very difficult
task before him. He, however, has done
his best, and has performed his painful
duty in so manly and digniied way that
no part Of the detestation which his client
evokes will be transferred to him.

ten tons of Government reports had jus.

the House at Washington. and sold for
waste paper. And it appears that such
clearances as this are quite systematic.
The public documents which are every
year printed in large quantities are for the
most part an absolute waste of ink, paper
and money. There is no doubt much valu-
able information wrapped up in many Of
these works. But it is almost invariably
smothered in such bog Of rubbish that it
requires very powerful motives to stimu-
late anyone to the search. The manner of
preparing public documents is as bad az
possible. Diffuseness, superfuousness, cir
cumlocution, lack of system and method
and sense of the value OF time, character
ize them all. Il almost seems as if half

A LITERARY CHANGE IMPENDING.

1t looks as though the awkward, stupid
and clumsy way of publishing novels in
England would soon have to be abandoned,
though it has been adhered to in defiance
alike of reason andinterest with peculiarly
English obstinacy and perversity. The
English plan has always been to publish
novels in three volumes, at the rate of
about 81 so per volume. These first edi.
tions were almost all sent to the various cir
culating libraries. When the book had
been read by the limited circle that prefers
that mode of getting its literature, a more
popular edition, in one volume, was pub
lished, and finally, perhaps year or so
after the first publication, really popular
and cheap edition would be put on the rail-
way bookstalls. The three.volume plan
has long been felt to be vexatious and I'M
profitable, but it happened to be the pre-
vailing practice, and SO it was chung to
blindly. Recently, however, several good
books notably Mrs. Brassey's Voyage of
:" the Sunbeam" and Sir Henry Martins
"Life OF the Prince Consort," have been
published in cheap editions, despite the
strenuous opposition of all the great pub
fishers, and the results have been so very
encouraging that it will evidently be no
longer possible to keep up the old form.
In fact it is plain to see that the three-vol-
ume novel is doomed, and tnatithe sensible
American fashion of publishing novels in
one volume. and the still more sensible
plan of issuing them in pamphlet form like
the Franklin Library, will take it's place.
And when that change has taken place it
is to be hoped that the English publishers
will condescend to take one more leaf out of
the American note book, and adopt style
of cloth binding for their books as SUBJ
stantial and durable as those which issue
from our binderies,
