Mr.. Hambleton's Card.

The item of our local in regard to the Dig
nowitty- Hambleton assault upon Alderma n
Schreiner has caused Mr.. Hambleton to print
a card in the Express denouncing the item as
an "infamous and uncalled-for ie" Mr..
Hambleton called at Office and explained that
he had no intention Of rejecting upon the edi-
tor of the LIGHT. and only wished to be set
right. Had Mr.. H. called before he put a
card in the ''morning scavenger," we should
have felt better'over it. In giving local news
we have no disposition to do any one an inju
ry. If the statement of the assault was not
correct Mr.Hambleton might have corrected
it in more rational manner.

A PIucky Invalid.

Some time since a minister suffering from
hemorrhage Of the lungs came here for the
benefit Of his health. His means were small
and he chose to be independent of extraneous
aid. Like Paul, he with his. own hands,
wrought livelihood, and he employed him
self as blacksmith. As result of his exer-
else, and our climate, he is restored to health
and looks as well and hearty as need be. He
can be seen all day at his smith shop, on
Houston street, working hard and we'll for his
daily bread, alfred in his rough costume as a
blacksmith, and at night will be found in his
broad-cloth going about doing good. This is
good example and might be followed in
other cases.
We record, with pleasure, that the gentle
men we refer to is the Rev. c. G. Armstrong.

A Little Note to Bismarck.

at certain place in Prussia for military service

ed by your kind invitation addressed to me at
my native town, to join the German army.

for am now in England, engaged in the more
useful work las consider it) Of expoundinp
mental science and teaching people how to
make the best of their faculties. For the same
reason, l scarcely feel myself at liberty to ac-
cept even the hospitality of six months board
and lodging at the expense of the state, which
you considerably offer as an alternative. I
much prefer basking in the sunshine of Eng
lish liberty to being forced despotically into
military seryiude in my own country. have
altogether given up fighting since l left school.
do not know that have anything particular
to fight about now, and hardly care to fight at
any one els-'s bidding. fyou have quarrel
with anybody would advise you to settle it
amlcab!y if possible, or else fight it out your
self. If, after you have fixed up the army
you can make it convenient to run over here
at any time to one of my chronological lee
lures, shall be happy to point out the super
iority OF hie in England, and explain the ma
ture and utility of the, as | say, more useful

II the Senate passes the amendment to the
army appropriation bill, as sent from the
House, Gen. Sherman, Major Gen. Mcdowell
and several other officers Of high rank will be
retired from active service. In 1884 Gen.
Hancock would be retired under its proyis-
ions. The Baltimore American, in DISCUSSING
the bill, calls attention to the fact that Won
Moltke was 90 years old when he won the
battle OF Sadowa and Koniggratz and hum
bled Austria, and he was 70 years of age when
he planned and led the campaign that car
ried the German armies into Paris, and adds
that the provision that retirement shall be op-
honal at any age or after any number of years
of service is well enough, but to force officers
to retire at time Of life when in wisdom and
experience they may he at their best, is both
unwise and unjust.

ceived a note from Guiteau, stating that SEQ

.I,ook for the thinnest man on the
Exchange and YOU will lind him." was
the description furnished to u Sun re-
porter who was trying TO find Mr.. VIII
lis Merrill, who advertises, Produce,

Lnmpht and. sold" Mr.. Merrill was
fnmd roosting on a rail in the Produce
Exchange at the busy hour of 2 p. NJ,
when the air was rent with shouts of
auclioneers, telegraph boys, messengers
and merchants.
THow can YOU buy and sell member
sbinspu MAS asked. AIS il not necessary
for every member of the Exchange to
be regularly proposed and elected"
"Well, perhaps it is not strictly true
that the memberships are bought ana
sold. 1t would be more correct to- say
that the certificates of membership are
bought and sold. There are 800 certih-
cafes i'm the Produce Exchange. These
are worth about y, 500 leach. The nom
her of these certificates is limited. II
man is elected member of the Produce
Exchange, he must have one of these
certificates before he will be permitted
To do business on the floor. On the
other hand, if he has one of the certifi-
cafes he cannot do business on the floor
unless NJ is elected member"
"There is no danger, then, of an ex-
pelled member or an improper person
getting into the Exchange by purchas-
ING one of these certificates"
None whatever. While the certih-
cate is property, It's possession does not
confer the right to do business on the
Exchange"
"How many seats in the Produce EX-
change are the subject of transfer in
this wayW
Roughly l should say about hum
bred"
Are seatssold in the other Exchanges
i'm this way"
"Yes, in the Mercantile Exchange,
Maritime Exchange, Cotton Exchange,
Iron Exchange, and even in the Stock
Exchange. Certificates OF membership
in all these Exchanges have a fixed
price. The Maritime may be stated at
$50, Mercantile S275, Cotton $1,000,
Iron $50, Stock S3O,0
"Huw many seats in these various
Exchanges are floating about to be sold
in this way"
al have estimated those of the Pro-
duce Exchange at 100. l should say
there are y floating certificates of the
Cotton Exchange, y Of the Iron En-
change, 80 of the Mercantile Exchange
and $40 of the Maritime Exchange"
How many Ofthe Stock EXchange"'
"Wcll, very few, of course, because
the seat is valuable. But there are seats
to he had. OF course, if man who
f1t,-- a -..,,t pannnt CrEt elected he must
sell il To some one who can. But the
value of mans seat in any of these
Exchanges remains the same even if he

Testing Wine with Catgut.


The determination of the astringent
matters contained in wine is considered
amOSt delicate operation. These mat
ters are various; the principal is tam
ME compound called GROtGRRiR, and
there are several cOlOring matters close
" related To it. The ordinary methods
of determination are rather uncertain,
especially where there is little aStrin-
gent matter. NJ. Girard has lately de-
yiScd method of very simple nature,
which has proved to be superior in pre-
CiSion to the Others. 1t depends on the
tendency of the matters in question to
combine with animal tissues. Long
ago PclOuze used skinto separate tannin
from gallic acid; Others have analysed
bark by process based on alb
sorption of tannin by skin. Some
chemists seem to have even
tried ordinary skin in the analysis of
wines, but it is not well suited for this.
VI. Girard finds in catgut pure animal
tissue, Of definite chemical species, a
much better means of determination.
He takes some of the fine, white violin
cords prepared by N. Thibouville- Lamy,
the last process of polishing with oil
having been omitted. Four or five of
these are put together. A certain
quantity is soaked in water four or five
hours lone grain having previously been
detached To ascertain the water in it,;
then these swollen portions are put in a
known quantity of the wine to be
analyzed. This is quickly altered in
consequence; in twenty-four hours gem
orally, or fOrty-eight at most, all color
has disappeared. The tanned and dyed
portions of cord are then dried, first in
flat dish, then in a closed vessel at
higher temperature. a comparison
then made of the original cord free
from water with the same cord tanned,
colored and dried, affords correct esti-
mate of the OpROtdnRiR and coloring
matters of the wine.
