The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICTTY.

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
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator Of Elec-
trcity 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 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 inn
mense advantage of neither producing heat
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree OF temperature Ii is further abso-
lutely inodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, OF otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion or sufiocation 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:
(I.) lis manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep it in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3.) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing Of the wick, or the cleaning Of the
cylinder, as in the case OF Oil Lamps.
(4.l That the light produced is soft and
most steady one that it never llickers, and
the fame, 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 he broken.
(6.) That it will burn, even in the stronges
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting of gardens
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present il

Is the Free, Pass Harmless?

Let us see. Aside from the political
corruption wrought By it, and that is
what it is used for and all it is used for
In Vermont, it compels every man, wo-
man and child who rides on , railroad
and pays his or her fare, to pay from
10 to 20 per cent more than ought to be-
paid and more than would be required
If the great army of dead-heads was
suppressed. That is, you pay dollar
and twenty cents for ticket that ought
to cost you only a dollar, because You
are compelled to pay your proportion
for the rides of those who, through IA
voritism and comivance, pay nothing.
And those who ride free are usually
those who are best able to pay, and are
let off simply because they are willing,
for so small consideration, to sell
their independence and manhood and
pander to the personal interests and am
bition of the PASSOVER. In q vast ma
jority of cases, the dead-head has no
more honest claim to free pass than
any of his neighbors, and he gets it on
~ because he is supposed to be able and
willing to render "aid and comfort" to
the giver. Is this right? Should the
poor man be forced to pay, in the form
Of additional charges, what his neigh
Dor escapes altogether? And has the
manager of railroad legal or moral
right to give away its services TO one
quarter of the community, and charge
what that quarter ought to pay. to the
other three quarter who do pay, 10 Sc

any kind? Clearly not. And yet that
is just what has been done here in Yer

They appear to be in big acSs down
at Brattleboro over their Soldiers mon-
ument, and both of the local papers are
full of the subject. 1t seems that Col.
Hooker bossed the job of putting
through the resolution appropriaiing
$4,000 to be spent by Graad Army
committee, of which he is chairman,
and that the town should pay when the
Grand Army Post said it was all right.
1t now turns out that, BY express
provision of the statutes, towns can on
" build monuments by 4 vote 'to ill.,
truct their selccmen TO erect" them.
and all the lawyers say that lockers
resolution is clearly null and void. So
another town meeting will have to be
held before any money can be got from
the town. This is bad for G. Wash
ington; for people will naturally think
that man who wants to so to Congress
ought to be able to gun simple resoin-
ton through town meeting safely and
legally. Both he and Martin seem to
have had bad luck at the last town
meeting, and we hereby tender them
our fearful sympathy. They are both
modest and retiring gentlemen, every
body knows that, but are not the mcn
to let any statute law stand in the way
of making little political capital when
they see good chance, even if they
happen to know that there is such a
law.

The senatorial succession is just now,
justly too, receiving large share Of pub
lie attention. 1t is matter that inter-
ests us all. But Mr.. Edmunds is too
well known, he has established his
claim to recognition as q leader among
Statesmen too thoroughly to require
cnl0gy. What he has done, what he
can do, is understood by his constitu-
cnts. There are other questions and is
sues that naturally grow out of this
controversy, and will become part Of
it, that claim our attention, and it is to
the calm and dispassionate considera-
ton Of these issues that every voter in
Vermont should direct himself. The
prosperity of the State depends on q
multitude Of things. Farmers, mer-
chants, mechanics, manufactures all
combine TO increase our waalth. The
success of one tends to the success of
all. Paralyze farming interests, and Il

that is orr main industry. We have
abundant facilities for manufactur-
ing and important reasons may be
developed, why it does not sncceed.
Questions that have been many times
discussed around thousand firesidcs in
| Vermont must be brought into public
notice, and held there until the voters
of the State come up to the occasion
and settle them. Rights of corpora.

free pass system, these are things that
