The city of Texarkana, though small
of the Union, is the most phenomenal.
1t lies in two States Texas and Ar

runs through the center of its chief
street. It's population is 5000. 1t is
considered the gateway of the -Outh-
west. 1t is only eight years old, but has
the airs of city twenty-five years. Four
railroads center there, the climate is
like that of Italy, and tramps are not
tolerated. Money is plenty, and the peO-
pie are prosperous.

An Incande~rent Gas Light.

Whatever of good the Introduction OF
the electric light may have effected, 1t Is
quite certain that specifically it has great
ly stimulated inventive talent III the oil
rection of improved gas burners, the re-
suit being that gas is now largely used
in a much more scientific ann than 1T
was before the advent Of its more dazzling
rival. 1t is a noteworthy circumstance
that, although nearly-three-quarters OF
century nave elapsed since coal gas was
first produced commercially, but little
progress has been made in its application
as a hght-giving agent, although the pro-
cess of manufacture itself has been great
ly developed. Within the last year or
two. however, several marked improve
mentS have been made in the method OF
burning it, whereby a martmWm light IS,
or can be-, Detained at a minimum cost.
Another step in advance has recently
been made in this direction by the inven-
ton of a burner which in It's results pro-
misses for certain purposes to rival the
electric lioht. This is the incandeScent
gas light of Mr.. James Lewis, which we
recently inspected at the works IN Chan
ning's buildings, Clerkenwell : green.
Broadly stated, this light may be said to
be a BunSen burner with a gauze-cap e
it, in that the light is the result OF the
combustion of gas and air in combination.
The details, however, are considerably
modified and improved as against the
ordinary BunSen burner. In the first
place, part of the air is supplied to the
new light under pressure, and this induces
a current which supplies the remainder,
and III the next place, the flame is surround

WI Identity.

An arrest was made in Harbour Street,
corner of Duke Street, on the 9th. by q
detective from Manchester. The captive
is supposed to be one WeekeS, an abScond-
ing cashier from a firm in Manchester,
Eng. and is charged with the larceny OF
G420 belonging to his employers. He evil
IDENTIFY intended leaving by the outgoing
mail to Colon, when his arrest was effect
ed. He was taken before Mr.. Bicknen,
who admitted that he answered the des-
cription given Of the abscOnder, but order
ed his release, in consequence OF the
authorities here not having been supplied
with a warrant from England for his
arrest.
Mr.. Albert Albrecht, the gentleman who
was arrested as above, as the supposed
defaulter . Weekes," and who was detain-
ed in custody from 3 o'clock until 7.3O pm,
arrived here from Antigua in the Royal
Mail steamer on the 4th March last. He
then brought letters of introduction to
several gentlemen in this city, among
them 0 Marescaux, Esq, Manager of the
Colonial Bank; this letter is from the
Manager of the Antigua branch of the
Colonial Bank, and states that Mr..
AIbrecht had resided for a long time at
Antigua, and kept an account at their
branch. 1t requested that advice may be-
given to him as to the investment or dis
posal of certain bills on the "C0urt." In
justice to the gentleman, we willingly give
publicity to the above facts, and regret
that reference was not made at the time
to Mr.. Narpscaux, before the gentleman
was subjected to the indignities of q
clock up" for four hours. We have been
requested to state that Mr., Albrecht had
no intention of leaving by the Colon
steamer.
The strangest part of this transaction
is that Mr.. Albrecht was arrested and
detained in Gu }tody for four hours without
a warrant having been issued for his
Observation-Disclosures Cleaner.

SugarinQ meHmSIand-

Sugar IN QuepnSland-ThlS indus
try is rapidly Spreading along the North
Eastern Coast of Queensland, and Wher-
ever established prosperity attends it. In
all sugar growing centres land is adyanc.
ing in price, and every acre capable of
being converted into a sugar plantation IS
being promptly utilised for that purpose.
Owing to the marked growth of this indus
try during the last two years, a demand
for labor suitable for plantation work has
arisen, aud employers have decided to
bring to the Queensland shores a few OF the
many millions Of coolies whom India IS
50 well able to spare. Kanakas have until
recently been sufficient for the demand
made upon them, and in most cases their
labor has given fair satisfaction; but, as
the sugar industry increases in its proper
tions, a more abundant and reliable sup
ply is needed, and hence the outcry for
coolie Iabour has arisen. Fresh centres
for this important industry are being form
ed continually, and success promises %
attend all well-directed efforts to estab-
fish it everywhere in the coast coun-
try.-Triaidad Chronicle.
