NEW APPLICATION OF ELEC-
TRICITY.

The Victoria Post describes a new
application Of electricity now being
tested under the Inspector ut IrtcrN
nal Revenue at san Francisco, il
which the electric current passed
through liquors has the same effect
as age upon them in purifying them
from fusil oil and other puDgent i'm
puritcs. Tue process is as follows :;
Two blocks OF carbon wrapped
up in flannel arc inserted in the
liquor to be purified and these carr
bons are connected with the positive
and negative poles Of an ordinary
Brush electric machine. Electricity
is then generated by the usual
means and the process of puriiira-
ton and refining proceeds. The
chemical action upon the liquor is
such thaC all impurities are attr 'ctei
to the negative carbon covered with
flannel. The excess of fusil oil alt o
finds Judgement here and when the
cloth is removed, it looks as if it
had been stepped for day and IA
year in brine. 1t is assorted that
the liquor does not lose proof DUR
ing the process Light wines re-
quire about two hours Of this elec-
trio churning; fortified wines are
rendered mellow in twenty hours,
and the hardest aud deadliest sum-
pie Of alcoholic distillation is made
comparatively harmless within
forty eight hours. If all that is
claimed for the invention is founded
on facts its importance upon the
winemaking industry can hardly be
overes timated. 1t will then lie no
longer necessary To send casks of
port on voyages around the world
and Eastern wine merchants need
no longer have recourse TO the pre-
varication that French wines have
gone on sea voyage, and are ncces>
sarily better than the domestic pro-
duet. Age, the gseat desideratum
Of wines, can be produced with the
aid Of dynamo-electrlc machine.
Every saloon can own little mas
c, inc, turned by land, dog or steam
power, and every person personally
convinced that the liquor which is
set before him is electrically pure
and old. "Give it a shock y will be-
come as common as alittie water,
please the sting Will be taken out
Of many Blue Ribbon temperance
speech and mania II potu will no
longer be dubbed " horrors.

Messrs. Paliser. Paliscr IL o., of Bridge
port, Ct, the we'll known architects and pub
fishers Of standard works on archiVcctnre, have
lately issued a sheet containing pmnc and sprc-
fcations of n very tasteful modern eight-r ON
cottage with tower and also with the necessary
notifications for building it without the tower,
and with but six rooms II desired. In It's most
costly form the outlay Is estimated at s3 coo !;
without the tower it has been built for $4,000 /;
and If only six rooms are included, the cost
may be reduced TO Sl,.U0 -or s., coo. Details
are given of nantcls. stairs, doors and castings,
cornices, etc The publishers have found IL
the most popular plan they have ever issued,
and state that it has been adopted in more aiaii
five hundred instances within their knowledge.
The same firm issue specifications IN bhnk

We again revert to the subject OF
direct mail and steamer communica-
ton between the Lower Sound and
Victoria. Although the interests
of Whatcom and San Juan counties,
as well as Victoria, require such a
connection, and the Post Office De-
partments at Washington and Nic-
toria have acceeded to such an ar
rangement, and even the parties
who had the contract to carry the
mails through the Islands last
spring, agreed to make such trip
once a week to Victoria, yet the
present owners of the route appear
to pay no attention whatever TO the
interests or wishes Of the communi>
ty in this matter. That regular
steamer service between Whatcom,
Victoria and Port Townsend, touch
ing at Anacortes and all the main
land and Island ports, and connecting
at Victoria with the San Francisco
steamers, would soon build up a
profitable trade, here is no doubt.

The Great Carbonate Camp.

Probably Leadville has seen its most
marvellous days, but even now it is
wonderful enough to attract the average
tourist. Rome was not built in a day is
not true of Leadville and town which
sprung up almost in night will not
soon lose its interest. AS long as the
mines hold out Leadville is sure of in
creased growth and prosperity. A visit
to most of the principal mines proves
that the rich leads are still pouring
wealth into the pockets of speculative
owners. 1t is estimated that Leadville
receives an income of 81, $50, 900 from
the mines monthly, which is not bad in
deed for those who get the benefit of it.
But here, as we'll as elsewhere, it is the
few and not many who hold the key to
earth's hidden treasure. The poor
miner who tolls along from day to day,
and whose family live like beggars, is
only the cat's-paw by which the rich
capitalist seizes and appropriates all that
Is valuable In natures vast store-house,
And yet the average miner is happy,
good-natured sort of fellow, who will
give his last dollar to help friend, and
who hides kindly heart under an ap-
palling amount of smoke and dirt. 1t
is in Leadville that one sees scores of
ragged millionaires. To the uninterest-
ed observer there seems to he more
downs than ups in this El Dorado, but
the men who lose are very seldom heard
of, while the ones who win are talked of
continually. If it were otherwise, there
would not be so many disappointed peo-
pie in the west.-Cor. 81. Louis Repu6-
ic0n.

Sunday Paners in BOSTON.

The Boston advertiser is to publish q
Sunday edition. 1t is told that at the
beginning of the war there was but one
Sunday paper in Boston, and that it had
no telegraph dispatches. Very late one
Saturday night there came to the Id
Vertiser office piece of important news.
Two or three printers hanging around
heard of it, and thought it shame it
should be wasted. They put it in type
and worked off several thousand little
extras on common proof press. They
sold like hot cakes Sunday morning,
many OF them at a quarter each. While
the typos were still at it one of the pro-
prietors of the AdUertiscr arrived He
was very indignant, SO indignant, it is
said, that he refused to take penny of
the money received for the extras.
That. it may be presumed, did not cast
the printers into the lowest depths of
misery. The AdUertiser had never be-
fore appeared on Sunday, and the in
cident shocked the proprietors dreadful
ly. The Boston correspondent of the
Paper World is responsible for this
story. -

Nina Husbands.

Mrs. Dyer, of Cleveland, Ohio, aged
60 years, has had nine husbands in thir-
ty-tive years, being an average of one in
less than every four years. Her first
two were canal boatmen and were speedi.
ly drowned while on duty; her third was
n cooper, who made barrels only two
months after the wedding day and de-
parted; the fourth. however. got bet
ter grip and lasted nine years, being
quickly followed by the fifth, and then
the sixth, who shook with the ague four
years and dropped off; the seventh was
the brother of the second husband; the
eighth another canal man who shortly
after slipped into watery grave, leav-
ing her his canal boat, which she sold
and with the proceeds had the portraits
of all her husbands painted at one fell
swoop by one artist. Her ninth, and
latest, Dyer, is not so popular as her
previous husbands, "but, said she, II
was gettin' too old to be particular and
l took him." .'He doesn't appear to be
in good health" ventured to say the re-
porter of the Cleveland Herald, who
called on her as natural curiosity.

reckon his picter'll soon go along with
the rest OF 'em," replied Mrs. Dyer.

Personal Taxpayers in New York.

"Who are the largest personal tax
payers in the city?" was asked of the
New York Tax Commissioner. 1.-THE
late Moses Taylor was the largest. He
paid tax onI$1, 200, 900 of personal prop
erty without grumbling, and his widow
now pays the same. On the other hand,
w. H. Vanderbilt last year came here
and swore off every dollar, but soon af-
ter came back and said that, as the pa
pers and the public were raising such
a h--ll of row. he would pay tax on
100000. Jay Gould only pays tax
on 100000. and Mrs. A. I. Stewart on
$500, 900. Miss Catharine Wolfe pays
on 100000. The Lenox estate pays
