Lamp.wlcks as Causes Of Explosion.

DIR. Thomas Cattell writes as follows
| to an English journal: cit is two years
since the first intimation of danger from
sophisticated candle-wicks was forced
on my attention. The candle, thick
dipped one, was placed lighted upon the
table, and after period of about 20
minutes it guttered go violently that
the tallow flowed down ON to the table
around the bottom of the candle. stick,
followed in few seconds by the COL
the table, setting fire to the melted tai
low. If l had not been present, serious
consequences would have ensued.
When this accident occurred, had not
thought the fault lay primarily with the
candle-wick; held the candle to blame.
A recent accident, however, with
large paraffine lamp has brought 10
light the fact that the medium or wick
through which the tallow and the oil
are used as sources of light is insult
able for its object, as we'll as fraught
with considerable danger. Experience
has taught that cotton is the one pecu-
liar and valuable medium for supplying
the sources of light here referred to.
Spurious cotton-wick l believe to be a
mixture of cotton and fax waste, or q
combination of jute, hemp, waste and
cotton. Such wick, or at least the
alien portion of it, becomes quickly
carbonized both in candles and lamps.
With the first, the carbonized particles,
as they form, dart out with flash, or
drop on the melted tallow undergoing
absorption by the wick, giving rise to
guttering and great waste OF tAllow.
Ia the other. the ignlted portion soon
carbonizes, which more and more in
creases, until q point Is reached when
further capilarity in the direction ofthe
fame ceases, and ignition of the lower
part of the wick takes place, followed
by that of the oil In the receiver, with
explosion or other mishap. believe 1t
will be found that the danger to which
here allude will afford an explanation
of many fires and accidents that, but for
these observations, had ever remained
involved in mystery. Pure cotton wick
is slow to carbonize, and its consump.
ton is uniform, unaccompanied by sud-
den little elections and explosions, as
occur in the burning of spurious cotton
wicks previously alluded to. If ordl-
nary paraffine oil be not of the required
combustion standard, such wick would
greatly increase its danger. Microsco-
pically, flax fibre consists of jointed
cylindrical tubes. Cotton consists of
flattened, twisted tubes without joints.
Chemical analysis would give us more
or Hess of the nitrates, nitrites, and
binitrities OF cellulose."

terrible mistake you were making. You
Justify your speech in organizing
The convention because you-csn lind
nol4fsg condenning it in the pest. In
this you are perhaps right, as matter OF
fact, for / suppose no oae under similar cir
cumstances ever put himself forward as you
did 80 ss to have the question raised. In
other words / have no doubt it is new ques-
ton. You seem TO take great pleasure In
saying il was your last speech and not the
first which carried the point, and especially
that in the discussion in the committee not
one of the number agreed with you, and yet
YOU carried the point in the convention by
your speech. If the question had been
one of principle, and it had been
carried before a convestion by a logi-
cal argument, it would hsve been
a feather in your cap. But the
question up was at what figure can we settle
our debt? The committee was selected with
8 view to consider II as q matter oil business.
There was not one of the number but what
would have been glad to settle the debt at
fifty cents, with three per cent. interest. In-
deed, all of them would have been glad to
settle the debt at fifty cents with two per
cent. interest, or even at less; but the COM
mittee as they were expected to do, tosk into
consideration the whole question, and, hav-
ing a good deal of information on the subject,
not one of them, as you justly say, was will
ing to submit your proposition, because every
one of them knew and as for that, may say
that every man in the convention, who had
taken the pains to inform himself on the
subject knew that no settlement of the debt
could be made at hity-and-three. Every
well-iuformed man in the convention knows
that this proposition will never be consid-
cred by our creditors. The very fact that
not one of the committee, who were among
the most intelligent men in the convention
believed such a proposition would be enter
tanned, ought, il seems to me, have prompted
one who was going to make such PROPOSE
ton to stop and inquire what the chance
was of getting a settlement at the figures.
Any intelligent, well-informed man sitting
by your side would have told you, il you
had asked HIM, that the proposition was uu-
wise for the reason that it could not be
carried out, and the very object of havingcom-
mittees was to investigate questions OF this
character, which require the collection of
evidence, which a iarge body has not the
facilities for doing. In your communication

entertain the proposition. Suppose you

rectors rect was 10 rise and propose a settlement
At TWENTY-FIVE cents on the dollar, and this

rai.ed the question as 10 whether the credi-
fors wouId take twenty-five cents, aud that

THE resignation OF Mr.. John Bright from
the Gladstone cabinet has created a sensa-
lion only less in degree than that Of the
bombardment and occupation OF Alexandra.
1t is said that the venerable and honored
Liberal leader, who for SO many years has
been light to light Eoglishmen in the path
of liberty, was constrained 10 this step by
the criticism OF friends who for many years
have been among his st sunchest supporters.
There friendoNwese unable to reconcile his
snesches in support of the cruel aud vindic-
tive repression bill with his former declara-
tious, that force was no remedy even for the
chronic agitation, disquie, and discomfort
which prevails in ireland. Both in and out
of the House and by the Liberal press OF
the three kingdoms, he Sas tauniedwith sup
porting measures as a minister which he
would have eloquently denounced had he
been out of Office. So singusrly gifted
statesman as Mr.. Bright could not fail TO
realize the force Of these criticisms, snd he
has resigned, perhaps never TO enter public
life again. Then, too, as he said himself, in
the Heuse yesterday, be could not support
the policy of the government in Egypt,
b .Iieving that moral power might be IS
effective with peoples as with individuals.
Though we'll advanced in years, he is
still hale, hearty and vigorous, aud there
are many years OF good work in him.
We shall hope for the sake of liberty and
the British people that his retiracy will
moi be for long, and that when he emerges it
viii be to take and keep the lead OF the
growing thousands of E1glishmen who are
tired Of the glare, blare and tinsel of mon
archy, aad are eager for the establishment of
a republic in which brains and not rank

NOTHING it has ever done 30 admirably
illustrates the meutal caliber OF the Louisiana

gated by DR.. Turner, secretary OF the Ma
tional Board of Health:

This appeared among the Associated Press
dispatches in the New Orleans newspapers OF

m snts by Mr.. Barindr, the Associated Press
agent in this city:
This action is owing to Congress failing to make
Al appropriation, and in the event of an outbreak
of fever along the coast, remands residents OF the
Mississippi valley TO such protection as can be

AFTER seventeea years of grief and sor-
row that several times threatened TO totally
dethrone her reason, Mrs. Abraham Lincoln
died on Sunday last, at the residence Of her
sister, in Springfield, Ill. Since the assassi-
nation OF her husband she has seldom en-
joyed good health, and latterly, in addition
TO her other ailments, was greatly troubled
by numerous large boils, which completely
covered her back and sides. Very much
nlianaderslooS Mrs. Lincoln has many times
been subjected 10 severe, and, in few in
sisnces, brutal criticism, by some of the
Northern journals. These made no allow
ance for the mental agony that supervened
upon the loss Of her husband by
The assassin's bullet. They could not
understand that Time, which cures all
things, does not do it in a day, nor some
times in year, and thatoccasionally he fails
utterly. The blow which staggered the
whole republic, and in some instances made
maniacs OF whole communities, fell upon her
with all its crushing weight, and was sor-
row which she could not be expected to re-
cover from any faster than the nation itself.
1t poisoned all her days and weighted all her
hours But she has. at last found release.
Except that she was the vile OF the Eman-
cIpator," Lincoln is to be known In his
tory, Mrs. Lincoln was not entitled 10 any
place in the worlds memory. She was q
faithful wife and mother, a plain. honest
woman, better suited to tie ordinary life oil
the little town in Illinois where she lived so
long than to be the leader of society in
w shinoton.
