QU1N1NE FROM Coal TAR.-The New
York Commercial Bulletin, says: "There is
considerable interest taken in trade circles,
over the report that Messrs. William Pickardt
& KuttroG, of SO Liberty street have applied
for patent for process to manufacture sui
phate of quinine from coal tar. 1t is stated
that the firm have been Interested with q
chemist to accomplish this for several years
with favorable results. Of course, if quinine
can be manufactured from coal tar, the fact
will revolutionize very large and prosperous
trade. During the year 1879 as. much as
S2,OOOOOO worth of Peruvian bark, from
which quinine is made, was imported, and
though the duty was abolished some time ago,
yet the principle manufactures, who have the
trade almost entirely in their own hands, will
be 10th to have their business ruined by such
inventions as this. Something to take the
place of quinine has long been sought after,
especially as little has been done to cultivate
the cinchona.
"A chemist, who was applied to for infor-
nation, stated that he had never heard of a
process for manufacturing quinine from coal
tar, but there was nothing in the thing, more
improbable than the manufacture Of the ami
line dyes from the same substance, which is
an accomplished fact. Of course an entire
chemical change ,nust take place to produce
ouipine. Coal tar is the remainder after gas
has been extracted from bituminous coal at
a high heat. 1t contains naptha, benzole,
carbolic acid, anphaling, and anlogous com.
pounds. The firm in question are large i'm
porters of these colors, which perhaps, ex:
plains how their attention has been directed
to this new matter"

"RocK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME."-In the
pleasant County of Devon, in one of its Sc.

and from that moment the Gospel welded
all the powers of bis brilliant and active
mind. During his illness, Augustus Toplady
seemed to lie in the vestibule of glory. 10
a friends inquiry, be answered with spark

abundant that be leaves me nothing to pray
for. My prayers are all converted into praise.

And, within an hour of dying, be called his

and when they replied in the affirmative. tears
of Joy ran down his cheeks as he added
"Oh, what blessing that you are made will
