years been an attendant upon and pew

one that illustrates not the personal

our institutions. Look at the record
of our treaty signed by Washington,
and you will find that this was inc o l.
formity. with the principle that this
should be free country in matters Of
worship or noh-worship. In the oath
administered by the Chief Justice to

name of God was purposely omitted.

BRADsTREET's journal notices at
length a new process of lighting and
heating that promises to work revo-
luton. 1t is q fuel gas that gas that
yields the greatest amount of heat and
light for the cost of material. 1T is
claimed with apparent reason that this
fuel will cost 1Oc to 15c per 200 cubic
feet only, and that it gives TO one tou
of anthracite the economic value of
ten tons of such coal burned in the
usual way. Stating the cost of such
coal to the personal consumer at So
per ton, the saving is the difference
between So and $50, or the respectable
sum of $54. And to effect this econo-
my it is only necessary to construct q
machinery plant coating $S, 500 to $40,
600, according to the number of busi-
ness places and dwellings to be sup
piled with heat. An adjunct appara-
tus, or the same one used alternately,
can furnish Illuminating gas to the
same CONSUMERS. The processes are
detailed, and it is asserted that there
exists no doubts of the complete sue
cess of the new invention. Its value
will be at once appreciated by refsr.

This is a great question, and the in.
