Economy In Coal.

We extract the following from an
English newspaper. 1t contains some
excellent hints for those who consume
coal. The CRATES referred to are the
English form of fire places:
Many CRATES are far larger than
necessary. and by the insertion of cast
iron "cheeks" at each end, may be
filled with only two-thirds the quantity
before required, without any loss of
heat. A still better plan, where room
enough can be spared, is to insert
cheeks of fre-clay or brick and to put
in the back of the CRATE also slab of
the same. By even the slab at the
back alone, the quantity of fuel re-
CURED will be diminished considerably,
while the heat will rather be increased
than otherwise. Ashes should never
be thrown away, but carefully preserv-
ed and mixed with an equal quantity
of coal.dust or small coal, and slightly
dampe6. Use this compost at the back
of the fire, where it will burn brightly
and pleasantly. Many servants know
this, but will not do it unless COM
PEELED, thought it would really save
them the trouble of sitting ashes. But
the chief of all means of saving fuel is
the following: Cut a piece Of sheet
iron one.eighth of an inch thick, of a
shape and size to reach within one inch
OF each side of the CRATE bottom, and to
project one and a half inches in the
front. Lay this over the bottom graf
ing. In making the fire, half fill the
crate with Goals, then put some shaw
ings or paper, and over this some
sticks or bits of charcoal. On the top
lay a few of yesterdays cinders, and
finally some pieces Of coal, not shovel
ed on, but carefully laid on by hand.
Many servants will ridicule thus light
ing fire "at the top" and will tell
you that the fire will not "catch"
downwards through the coal But try
it, and you will find that this plan not
only saves an incredible quantity of
coal, but that it saves the housemaid
trouble, and the room is far better
warmed. The fire is to be replenlsbed
at the bottom, by putting pieces on the
ledge and pushing them in, also, where
ever an opening occurs among the live

charters. The SIS would soon be

be available, and the result can easily
be foreseen. Comptroller Knox and
Secretary Folger can't see the way out
of the difficulty yet. ...
The Express says it can't see any
reason why democrat should not &C

BILE. The difference is one between
tweedle-dee and tweedle. dunn. The
democrat who sneaks into position
under republican auspices, and at the
same time is a secret enemy OF the
hand that feeds him, is more dishonor-
able than the democrat who takes an
office and sustaining the source of his
bread and butter in an open manner.
The Brennan Banner sets up the
strongest argument we have yet met
with, in favor of licencing gambling.
The Banner says:
If gambling were licensed fruitful
source of corruption would be done
away with, as in that case the gam
bling fraternity would have interest in
having officers elected who never see
any gambling, never gamble them
selves, and never know that there is
such a thing as gambling houses IN ex-
istence. If gambling were licensed the
gamblers would be interested in having
officers with good sound eyes and level
heads. 1t would be cheaper for the
gamblers and better for the people.
SENATOR KELLOGG is reported as
saying that he don't care to see a
southern man in the cabinet; that
appropriations for rivers and harbors
are better than cabinet position. We
can't see the connection. Appropria-
tons for rivers and harbors is matter
of interest to democrats as we'll as re-
publicans. The cabinet is only mat
ter of interest to republicans the
cabinet has very little to do with rivers
and harbors or with appropriations.
The truth is, Kellogg pushed Hunt in
to the cabinet with aid of Blaine, and
now he has found out that Hunt is not
a southern mamie once was, but he
does not live in the south-he is a
southern carpet-bagger only, and as
Kellogg's days are numbered, he is
naturally Indifferent.

Electric Light in New Orleans.
The opening of the works of the
Southwestern Brush Electric Light
Company, at New Orleans, took place
on the evening of the 9TH inst. The
building of the company in which the
machinery is located, was lighted up
with gasoline lamps, which gave it a
glowing appearance. The formal
turning on of the electric light is thus
described.
Mr.. H. Dudley Coleman then called
those in attendance to order, and in
troduced the charming daughter of the
president, Miss Matilde Bell, after
whom the engine is named. Graceful
ly ascending a small platform, Miss
Bell seized the throttle valve, and at a
given signal gave it turn. Instantly
the scene was changed from one Of
gloom to one of dazzling briiliancy;
and IS 2ooo-candle power lamps
shone forth with beautiful pure white
light, steady and clear, not the slight
est Pickering being noticeable. After
the momentary pause of establishment
and admiration which followed this
sudden transition had subsidized, all
present, actuated by a common i'm
pulse, broke forth in tumultuous and
enthusiastic applause. The machinery
was then inspected under the most ia
vorable auspices.
The engine is an Atlas Corliss, from
the works of the Atlas Corliss Com
pany in Indianapolis, Indiana; it was
furnished by the agents here, H.
Dudley Coleman & Bro. Its dimen.
sions are IS by Al feet. The
fy-wheel weighs $4,000 pounds;
its rim revolves at the rate of $500
feet minute. There. are two batter
les of boilers five feet and a half in
diameter and IS feet long; there are
12l fues in each boiler. There are
two generators of the largest size in
position, made by the Brush Electric
Light Company, in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the building are four lamps, two in
the boiler-room, one in the engine
room and one in the generator apart
ment; there is also one on the outside
of the building. In the testing room
were 40 lamps burning; and notwith-
standing the great illumination the
light was so steady and pleasant as
not to affect the eyesight in the least.
This room is where all lamps will be
tested before they are placed on the
streets. All of these lamps are of the
standard test, 2,ooo-candle power.
They burn a carbon pencil one foot in
length, which lasts eight hours. There
is dial, or current regulator, the in
vention of Brush, to regulate the cur
rent of electricity when light is turn
ed off.

Goals, but never on top. The shovel
and poker must, in fact, be discarded,
and only the tongs used. At least
one.third of all coal used in sitting
rooms may be saved in this way, the
reasons for which are very simple. The
Goals are kept quietly glowing, instead
of burning fercely away without giving
any more heat; and all smoke (Which
is fuel wasted) has to pass through
the fire, and is consumed to profit, in
stead of going up the chimney. -.

THE MURDERER.

Heilwagon, whose execution will occur
on the Gath, is still suffering mental an
guish on occount of his approaching death.
He is depressed in spirits and shows it in
every possible way. He is unable to play
cards, the favorite amusement of the pris-
oners, as he can not concentrate his thoughts
upon the game. He has apparently lost
all interest in such pastimes. He also suf-
fers during the night because of his inabil-
ity to sleep. He has not known what it is
to enjoy nights rest since his sentence
was passed.
Yesterday he was visited by Annie, his
Oldest daughter. The interview was not
of particularly sensational nature. He
requested her to bring down the younger
children, and gave her So from his pen
sion money to defray their travelling ex-
penses.
He still has hopes of averting his death
by some talk with his children.
