The Manufacture of Gas.

 For the present, at least, those interested in gas companies both in London and New York seem to have got over many, if not most of their fears of the electric light. It is true gas stocks are still low here, consid- ering the dividends paid on them, but they are much higher than they were last spring, and in London they are tightly held as among the best investments obtainable.
 The repo9t of tzo Lsadan companies for 1880, required by act of Parliament, has re gently been issued, and it shows that last year was one of unusual profit for them Instead of being injured by the introduction of the electric light into some of the streets and into many halls they sold more gas than ever before, and, the cost of manufac- ture having been considerably reduced and there being now ready demand for their residual products, they were able to increase their already large dividends. While the average dividend on the English railways in 1880 was only 4.72 per cent, large propor- ton of the gas companies paid from eight to ten per cent. and some of them as much as eleven per cent.
 In London, as here, by far the greater quantity of gas made by the companies is consumed by private lights, and the propor- tion supplied for public purposes is so small that they will not suffer very seriously even if the electric light altogether drives gas from the streets and other public places. The constant growth of the private demand, in cities so rapidly increasing in population and business as London and New York, will soon make up for the loss
 For instance, the chief of the four Loadon companies, the Gas Light and Coke com pany, made during the half year ending with Dec 31, 1880, the enormous quantity of g., 929, 599, GOO feet of common gas. Of this supply private consumers took ,, ,255, 37G, GOO feet, and for the public lights only BIO, 539,- GOO feet were sold. Another of the compan- ies made ], ,93s, 226, GOO feet, of which 1,65S,- 393, 900 feet were consumed by private cus- toners A third made 695, ,525, 900 feet, of which 676, ,653. GOO feet were used for private lights Of the whole years manufacture of the fourth company, 1,560, 301 1000 feet, pri- vate customers took l. ,334 694 ,O00 feet.
 Until, therefore, the electric light comes to be generally introduced into dwellings and shops, the manufacture of gas will continue to be one of the most profitable of industries. Some scientific and some practical men fuse to believe that day will ever arrive but the public, as a whole, is not so skeptical, and the consequence is that even now gas stocks on which large dividends are paid are selling in New York at comparatively low 11ricaS

Our State Names.
How They Originated and What They
 Signify.
(From the Boston Traveller ]

lFrom the Boston Traveller.l
 At a recent meeting of the American Anti quarian society in Worcester, Hon. Hamilton B. Staples read an interesting paper, discuss ing at length the origin of the names of sev- eral of the States. The following IS an ab- stract of some of his conclusions
 New Hampshire gets it's name from Hamp- shire England Massachusetts is derived from an Indian name, first given to the bay, signifying linear the great hills" Rhode Island has an obscure origin; the Island of Rhodes, the 'Island of the Roads, and & Dutch origin, Red Island,' were mentioned, the first seeming to have the best historical support. Connecticut is an Indian name, signifylng 'land on long tidal river" New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland were passed over. Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia have royal origin. Maine was named from the fact that it was supposed to contain the 'mayne portion" of New England. Vermont has no especial question, except that it is claimed to have first been an alias-New Con- necticut, alias Vermont. Kentucky popularly signifies either 'tdark and bloody ground" or "a bloody river" but it's origin signifies 'sthe head of a river" or ''the long river" Tennessee comes from it's river, the name being derived from the name of an Indian village on the river-"Tanasee." Ohio is named after an Indian name, signifying s'something great, with an accent of admir- dLlOA 1uuAeLud JULIUS 1TOu tlo udGu6 O1 HI early land company. Illinois comes from the Indian-the name of tribe Michigan is claimed to mean flake country ;' it probably came from the name of the lake, Great Lake," which bore this name before the land adjacent was named. Louisiana is from the French. Arkansas and Missouri are Indian, the former being doubtful; the latter is claimed to mean in it's original s'muddy water,'' which describes the river. Iowa is also Indian, with doubtful meaning Texas is popularly supposed to be Indian, but may be Spanish. Florida is Spanish, "a fowery land" Oregon has conjectural origin. It is probably Indian, but Spanish origin is claimed. California comes from Spanish romance of 151O. Nevada takes its name from the mountains, who get theirs from a resemblance to the Nevadas of South Amer ica. Minnesota is Indian, 'ssky-tinted water" Nebraska is variously rendered shallow water' and fiat country' Kansas is from an Indian root. Raw, corrupted by the French.
