STORING ELECTRICITY.


Many of the citizens of st. Paul will re-
member that before the city was furnished
with the electric light, W. F. Swift, ESQ.,,
of Cleveland, O., agent of the 'Brush
Electric Light was here offering to our
authorities the electric light of which he
was agent. His proposals were not accepted.
Mr.. Charles F. Brush, from whom the
electric light system invented by him re-
ceives its name, is an eminent electrician.
residing in Cleveland, and has been sue
cessful in inventing a secondary
battery, or accumulation for
the storing of electricity. For several
years all the prominent electricians of
this country and of Europe have been en-
deavoring to invent an apparatus of this
character with only partial success. But
Mr.. Brush has finally succeeded in devising
methods for the accumulation of electricity
and has patented his system.
It was generally known in Cleveland
that Mr.. Brush was working to
thisend, but it was not known what
progress he was making until after several
years devotion to his work he was able to
present to the public the result of his
great labor and tireless investigation.
The difficulties in the way were very
great, when Mr.. Brush began his re-
searches, and the condition of the art
was very crude.
His storage battery is simple in its
construction, consisting of square box
containing cells, in each of which are two
cast lead plates. The plates are electrical
ly treated in manner that is of course a
secret, and are immersed in calculated
water. One of the plates is bla OK and is
called the hydrogen plate, while the other
is whited and is termed the oxygen plate.
These plates are what is properly desig-
mated as the accumulators, and into them
is stored the electricity. They are porta-
BILE and can be packed and shipped as any
other merchandise. They can be handled
without danger, and can be made of any
size required SO that there is no
theoretical limit to the amount
of electricity that can be stored. Mr..
Brush claims that his system is complete
in every respect; that it is commercial as
we'll as scientific success.
1t is believed that the principal use that
will be made of storage batteries will be
to furnish currents for incandescent lamps,
There are two systems of electric lighting
One is the arc system such as the Brush
and which consumes the carbons, and the
other is the incandescent, which passes
tie electric current through the carbons
which becomes intensely white hot, and
em1ts beautiful and steady light. The

The monstrous doctrine of cumulative
sentences held by Judge Noah Davis in the
Tweed case has been reduced to an absurd
ity in the Vermont case reported in our
telegraphic dispatches yesterday from Rut.
land. where poor woman charged with
selling liquor without license has been
convicted on several hundred complaints,
and, by accumulating the terms of i'm
prisonment under each complaint, has
been sentenced by the police court to the
house of correction for fifty years! If the
appellate court of Vermont ever has this
case before it, we cannot doubt that it will
decide as did our court of appeals. Such
cumulative sentences are shocking to Jus.
tiee and repugnant to common sense.

The Sunday Star of New York says:
"We confess to feeling less interest in the
truly affecting discoveries as to the carry
ings on of Mrs. Langtry, reported to have
been made by means of a clairvoyant in
Boston, than some of our esteemed con-
temporaries. It grieves Us deeply to learn
that she spent part of the time during a
performance in a box watching the acting
of her associates, with New York gentle
man who at the time was half way across
the Atlantic on his way to Europe. It was
very naughty in Mrs. Langtry to want to
see for herself just how stupid her support
would be, and dropped the lace curtain of
the box, not to prevent star-gazing, but to
keep a star from being gazed at.
''The Labouchere was only too happy so
long as she lived in the blissful illusion
that she was quite as much sought for and
admired on her own account as Mrs. Lang
try; she ate the dinner and slipped the rare
old wines as gayly and gladly as her COM
panion; but when she was SO far djsillu-
stoned as to see that she was only endured
for the sake other companion, she became
scrupulously exacting and was MORALLY
afraid that Mrs. Langtry's art would suf-
fer in consequence of her carousals. It
was quite human and singularly womanly,
and no one can have the heart to blame
the Labouchere for feeling hurt"

Ter & Wells, publishers, 75S Broadway.
This book, which is handsomely printed,
and contains over twenty illustrations, will
interest readers, young and old. Derived
as the matter is from more than forty
years of active work as lecturer on phre-
nology and chronological examiner, the
author has had abundant opportunity to
come in contact with every kind of human
being. For more than thirty years
he has been the chief examiner in
the Office of Fowler d. Wells, and in
his experience has come in contact with
more than two hundred thousand persons.
The author says in his preface, that he ''has
been invited to visit schools and colleges,
asylums for the insane, poor houses and
prisons-rare and peculiar persons-those
endowed with genius in special directions;
the eccentric, those idiotic in whole or in
part; in fact, every odd, strange and singu-
lar character has been hunted up and
brought to test phrenology or its expo
nent, and in many instances to gain hints
for the better treatment and management
of these peculiar cases. Thus many Curl
GUS incidents have occurred which throny

4 Jury in Cl0rer.

In London, recently, jury was trying a
case in which the question involved was
whether certain Mouton Rothschild and
Chateau Lafitte-both of 1875-as supplied
to the defendant, were equal to these same
wines as bottled at their respective chat
eaux; and it occurred to the judge, after
hearing great deal of expert evidence,
that ga far moro direct and satisfactory
way of coming to decision would be for
the jury to taste the wines. The jury were
naturally of the same opinion, and straight
way retired, that samples of the wines,
lettered A, B, c, aud D, might be set be-
fore them. After an interval, the duration
of which is not stated, they returned int
court and found for the defendant. Ten
of them had considered the chateau bot
tied Mouton superior to that supplied,
while two had expressed no opinion. As to
the LATTE there was more division of
opinion; six were for the one sample, four
for the other, and two again expressed no
opinion. It does not appear whether these
two gentlemen were teetotalers and had
not tasted the wine, or whether, like wise
men, they had drunk it and said nothing.

the old system.
Mr.. Morgan said he was prepared to sup
port any measure which would tend to put in
Office class of persons best qualified and
most to be relied upon in the conduct of
public business. The evils of the existing
system were indisputable, and one of them
was the annoyance and humiliation put
upon senators and representatives when
they were required to 60 to the departments
and ask for Offices. To remedy this evil he
would offer an amendment later, provid-
ing that no recommendation from sena-
tor or representative should be considered
by any person making an appointment
unless it had been previously asked in
writing by one or more of the examiners.
MIR. Hoar suggested that as the exami-
nations we're to be competitive, the amend
ment had better prohibit absolutely all
such recommendations.
Mr.. Morgan said that before Offering the
amendment he would consider the sugges-
gestion. He intended to offer, also, another
amendment requiring the applicants to be
examined in the states and territories
where they reside, the object being to pre-
vent the emigration of people into Wash
ington to follow the business of Office
SooAlux. Ibis WOulO DO favor
to the people themselves, while
at the same time it would
secure better material for examinations to
operate in. He was strongly opposed to
the provision in the bill continuing entrance
into the service to the lowest grade of
clerkships. Such plan would not give eff
icient service. In the land Office, for ex-
ample, there were numerous clerkships for
which proper preparation would be the
education of a lawyer instead of that of
copyist.
Mr.. Call made an argument to show the
bill proposed to infringe upon the appoint
ing power of the executive, and was there
fore unconstitutional. He was criticising
some of the provisions of the bill when he
yielded for a motion to go into executive
session. Agreed to.
Before the doors were closed Mr.. Hoar
introduced joint resolution which was re-
ferred, authorizing the president to nego-
tiate with civilized powers for an interna-
iional system whereby matters in dispute
between the different governments agree
ing thereto, may be adjusted by arbitra-
