A literary Treat by Miss Lew
elIyu.

We hear that Miss Grace Lewellyn
is about to give the people of neigh
boring town literary treat, in the
shape of readings and recitations. She
has talent Of a rare and versatile order;
while admirably adapted to the comic
style, she can present the pathetic in
such a manner as to draw tears from
eyes unSccustomed to weep. Every
detail of elocutiOn seems to be at her
command. We rank her with Mrs.
Scott-Siddons, and PREDICT for Miss
Lewellyn an even brighter future. She
has taught elocution several years in
Miss Conway's noted school, and has
done much to develop and direct the
talent of her bright young punils. The
people Of the town referred to have a
rare treat in store and cannot fail to
be highly entertained. In Memphis
she is so well and favorably know that
introduction would be superauous.

very elegant and handsome. The

well enough bu, at the present writ

methods, and the new gas when pro-
duced has six times tho luminosity of
the old, present, sort. The new gas is
dry, odorless, and not affected by cold.
1t can be carried any distance in pipes
without oondensing, and is as good
months after it is made as when it is
fresh. The light is white, like the elec.
trio light. In this connection may be
mentioned new gas which company
in New York State has been organized
to manufacture. The New York COM
pany's product is the result of tho de.
composition Of lime. The operation, il
is said, produces almost pure hydrogen
which, being carbureted, results in {
gas of between thirty and fifty candle
power. The process, which was dis
covered by French chemist and i'm
proved by Polish one, is said TO b.
economical, and it is expected that tn,
gas will suporsede coal for running en-
gines, and possibly in domestic heating
and cookery. II is made without coal
oil being used in its preparation.
