Chemicals to Fight Fire.

The use of chemicals as an antidote to
fire is urged more strongly and seems t.
meet with more favor every day. The
latest application of the principle comes
in the form of recommendation by q
Mr.. Schlumberger, that bottle of am
monia be placed in every barrel ofpetrole-
UNI. On ignition, from any cause, the
bottle would break, and the ammoniacal
vapors would at once extinguish the fire
An Italian savant, NJ. Pietro Santo, pro-
poses to apply the same method to
collieries liable to fire damp. Tanks
filled with ammonia and set in convent
ent places would, it is claimed, stop the
combustion, which could not subsist in
IN ammoniacal atmosphere.

Whisky and Opium.
[Chicago Times. ]

If society is right in licensing the sale
of whisky it is wrong in not licensing the
dens for smoking opium and the bagnios
for the plying of an infamous vocation,
and, conversely, if it be wrong to license
opium-smoking and courtesanship, it is
wrong to license the selling of whisky.
Within a few days man named Walsh
stood up before the criminal court of this
county and pleaded guilty in an Indictment
for the murder of his wife. It was shown
that he and his wife were in the habit of
getting drunk together, and, furthermore,
that it was an agreed thing as to the mu-
tual intoxication. When he was drunk
and she was drunk, he was in the habit. if
in his drunken fancy he thought she had
taken too much, of chastising her. The
last time this chastisement took place he
continued it till he killed her. He beat
her with heavy trunk-strap until her
strength was so reduced that she had no
power left to recuperate. After having
soon after, in the sweet consciousness that
he had performed an imperative duty, he
followed her example. When he awoke
the next morning he found acold and stiff
body beside him, and then he knew that he
had spent the most of the night beside a
corpse.
A little girl, an only child, stood by and
saw the chastisement. Accustomed as she
was to these whippings, even she was con-
WINGED that her father was going too far,
and piteously said .''For my sake, papa,
don't whip mamma any more !"
When Walsh pleaded guilty, he was
weeping; when he. came into court to re-
ceive sentence, his eyes were red and even
swollen with weeping when his lawyer
made an appeal for a lenient sentence, he,
too, was in tears and had the little girl
been there, she would also have added her
share to the riyulets of grief which ran
through the tragedy. The murderer as
serted that he loved his wife devotedly
and tenderly; that she was equally at
tached to him.
What more doleful tragedy has ever come
before the courts and the public than this
one? Now, suppose that this wretched
husband had procured the stimulus which
led to the crime from an opium den, would
not denunciation of the atrocious iniqui-
ties of the opium den been developed with
all the vigor of righteous and universal
indignation Would not public opinion
have demanded that every opium den in
the city be instantly swept from existence?
Why is the cause Of the crime any less
tolerable because it's cause is located in a
whisky den instead of an opium den Why
is there not a public demand that place
which breeds such crimes should be sup
pressed instanter? Why look With indif-
ference on the whisky shop, which is in
every possible aspect associated with crime
of quality, and become SO indignant against
an opium den, which, whatever ito defects,
has no crime of murder laid at its door?
1t is right to suppress the opium dens,
and if this be So it is ten times, Thousand
times more imperative to suppress the
whisky dens with their unbroken induce
mentS to hideous crimes.
