that the property retained its self
acquired character in the hands Of the
son. This will considerably diminish
the danger that might arise from an
unrestrained exercise of the right now
fully declared. The case has been for
a long time the subject of much dis
cussion and great anxiety in all native
circles, and, although experts in Hindoo
law agree in the strict legality of the
decision, there is a general opinion
that the altered conditions of Hindoo
society render legislation necessary on
the subject in spite of the extended
effect now given to the exercise of the
testamentary power.

The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELECTRIGTTY

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed TO construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none OF
the inventors could rid themselves OF the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, mua be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator OF Elec-
tricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about a complete revolution in all
branches of lighting
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or FIVE days with acid. The cost
OF lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour), and it has before the latter the i'm.
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
QtRIec Ol ~ 10 luithSt epSO-
lutely inodorous, and does not need 10 be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case
of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu-
able. 1t is further preferable to any known
kind Of lighting for the following reasons
~ Its manipulation is SO simple that any
child can keen il in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3) That il neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning OF the
cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.
al That the light produced is a soft and
most steady one that it never hickers, and
the flame, though being equal in power o
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de-
gree.
(s.) That every danger of fire is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extinguish immedi
ately, if by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should be broken.
(6.) That it will burn, even in the sironges
wind, completely unaffected thus being In
valuable for Examinations, lighting Of gardens
corridors, etc.

Mr.. Morrison,s Tariff Bill.

Representative Morrison has prepared
tariff bill and, 1t is said, will introduce it
ON Monday. Some Of the correspondents
pretend to have been informed with re-
spect TO its most important features. If
they have been correctly Informed, the
bill will differ very materially from the
horizontal bill Of last Congress. 1t will
be marked by more OF Representative
Hewitt's ideas and fewer Of Mr.. Morri-
sou's.
Lumber, salt, and iron ore, it is stated,
will go on the tree list, as will also sever
al other crude products and raw mate
rails. A dollar or so a ton will be knocked
of the pig iron tatif, and the steel rail
tariff will suffer a reduction Of - 80 a ton.
1t is said also that sugar duties will be
reduced about 20 per cent, and that there
will be a slight reduction on some Of
the articles in the schedule Of pottery and
earthenware. 1t is even insisted that tin
plates will 90 on the free list. The aim,
it appears, is to make a reduction in the
customs receipts of about $4,000, 600.
In view OF the fact that a decision of the
Supreme Court lately rendered relative to
cations will knock about 500, 900, 600 off the
customs receipts, aud the further fact that
the pension charge is certain to be very
considerably increased, there isn't much
reason to doubt that if the new tariff bill
is passed there Will not be much surplus
revenue after the present year.

A Southern Socialist.

The South has an apostle Of Socialism.
The Hon. John r. Beasley, of Tennessee,
has developed into the Henry George and
John Swinton. combined, of the South.
During the war John was a fearless,
dashing, handsome boy soldier-a cavalry
man, we believe, and, OF course, defen-
der Of the Lost Cause. After the war he
became lawyer aud a good one, and at
the same time grew to. be a whole-souled,
genial gentleman. Instead of falling in
love with some one of the fair daughters
of his native land and settling down into
a sturdy family man, he became enamored
Of constitutional law, aud from thence
was easily swept into the maelstrOm Of
politics. John loved politics as a science
and was passionately fond of argument
but everybody OF consequence in his city
(Winchester) being Democrats, he could
find no one to antagoniZs without leaving
his party. To become a Republican, he
could not, so, soon after the Greenback
party came into existence, he, with a few
friends, met at Nashville (he was then one
of the prominent members of the Legisla-
turel, and organized the small but select
Greenback Labor party of Tennessee.
Afterwards he became the Green back can
didate for Governor of the State, but failed
to be elected by very large majority.
Now he has OutgrOwn, or, rather, sur
viVed his late party, and progress is still
his watchwOrd; but, sad TO say, he seems
TO be determined to progress towards the
jumping off place. In card published
in the Chattanooga Times he declares
that the Federal government has become
a curse to the people and must be over
thrown by force if necessary. He wants
the law OF inheritance abolished, as we'll
as the private ownership of land, and he
still adheres to the Greenback idea of an
irredeemable paper currency.
He is a strong writer and an eloquent
speaker, but he does not seem TO be makjSg
converts very rapidly. He is too muQh Of
an enthusiast, in fact a great ma6v neo-
pie are inconsiderate enough to cali him
crank, not because he is so Vary cranky
but because his views are psculiar. if NOT
entirely novel, among ths-6onest and I'M
sophisticated people of the Volunteer
state ,swho are as Conservative and pro-
vincial in Their social and political views
as they are in their manners and customs.
1t is to be feared now, from the tone of
his card, that, having torn loose from his
old political mOOring, he has been led by
disappointment to some extent to need
lessly sacrifice his pleasant, companions
BILE nature. Henry George and John
Swinton have not done this, it is said, and
it is to be hoped that If the Hon. John r.
Beasley has done so he will take at least
partial step backward and be himself
again.

1t is we'll known tAat for several years
Judge Simmons. OF the Macon Cur
cult, has been an asplrant for the govern
orship, and IL has been generally admitted
that he is an able and upright man, and
would, If elected, I'LL the position with
credit TO himself rs we'll as with fidelity
to the interests Of the state and people.
The Judge has recently been severely
criticized by several influential journals iu
the State, for that while occupying a pO-
| siton on the bench he has been charged
with eleotiOneering to secure the nomina-
tiOn for the governOrship. His opponents
say that he has exchanged sittlngs with his
brother Judges of the Superior Courts, 90
that he has been able to oficiRte
IN every judicial circuit, ii not in large
majority Of the counties in the State; and
they say he has done this for the purpose
OF directly or indirectly soliciting the sup
port Of the leading politicians and citizens
OF the sections he has visited in his Official
capacity. 1t has not been charged that
the Judge has used any specially undig-
niied or unfair means to advance his po-
litical interests, but the question OF ethics
has been squarely raised in his case, aad
it is to be seen how it will be met.
1t has been said that he expects to re-
sign early in the spring with the inten-
ton Of openly entering on the canvass for
the nomination. If this is true, it is I'M
fortunate that be was not able to avoid
having to meet the present question. A
candidate is always at a disadvantage
when he is thrown ON the defensive,
unless he can demand and reasonably
hope to secure a ''vindication" on some
great personal or political issue. There
is much for one to lose on an ethical
question, and very little for him to gain,
no matter how ably he meets it, or how
many presidents he may be able to quote.
Those who condemn Judge simmons
course from principle are undoubtedly
right, but the condemnation will not
probably be as effective as 1t would be
had the practice of using one office as a
stepping stone to another not been so
common IN Georgia in the past. There is
nothing peculiar about Judge simmons
case, except that 1t appears that ne is to
be made the victim of reform sentiment
that has too long lain dormant.
There is something akin to sanctity
about the bench, and it is to be regretted
that it has 80 often been mixed up with
the hastings or connected with under
ground political wires. II a wholesome
reform in politIcOjudicial ethics is to be
Inaugurated by the sacrifice OF so pOpu-
lar and excellent a man as Judge Sim
mons, the fact of it's being so conspicuously
inaugurated may tend to make it more
lasting than it would otherwise be.

so. ! am the chief OF tire signal division,
OF literature Pm a light;
The newspapers make me a butt for derision.
But they print every line that l write!
The people all yearn FOR my asst lucubration,
They rush for the paper each day,
And efore they have looked at the news Of
the nation,
They mus see just what have to say.
Some ignorant fools dare to laugh at my

At what the days weather will be:
But when a man once knows the key he con-

My productions are right to at.
My secret! oh, well, I would just as soon tell
YOU;
Whenever I say twill be warm
just get out your ulster the cold viii compel

For we're in for a bowling cold storm.
II say twin be cold, you may know its a

Your light linen duster will do:
In short, every time that / make a prediction.
