PRO homo PUBLICO.

In passing the store of Messrs. West, Dow
& Co., last evening, our attention was attract
ed to glittering array Of picture mouldings,
elegant wall brackets, ETC., being unpacked.
Curious to see new designs of anything pretty,
we entered and found the handsomest styles
of mouldings we have ever seen displayed in
this city, especially several unique designs in
bronze, and ebony and gilt. Those wanting
pictures framed ought to examine this stock.
We also noticed some elegant furniture, con-
sisting of black walnut dining room tables,
chairs, etc, just received per steamer St. Paul,
which, are we'll worth inspection.

The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELEcTRIc1rY

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, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Eec-
lricity 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 Machm
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeablcn
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
ii every four or five days with acid. The cost
of lighting will be as cheap as gas "a cents
per hourl, and il has before the latter The i'm.
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is moi inquired, and remains al the same
degree OF temperatures. 1t is further abso-
lutey inodorous, and does not need to b.
kindlcd by match, OF otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion or suhocation, as in the case
of gas, if the key is left open and il must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invah-
able 1t is further preferable to any know,
kind Of lighting for the following reasons
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep il 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.) That the light produced is a soft and
most steady one that ii never flickers, and
the flame, though being equal in power Of
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de-
gree.
(5.) 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 strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting Of gardens,
corridors, etc
This Lamp is constructed for the present in
three different sizes;

CHICAGO, Feb. 24-Upon seeing last
night the Montreal despatch announcing
that the Archbishop OF Quebec had
Issued mandament condemning the
X lights of Labor and all orders where
the oath of secrecy Is taken, Vicar Cen
eral Conway Of this city said: " doubt
the authority Of the report and advise
that iC be not given much credence Ii
the good Arch bishop found fault with
the Knights Of Labor he would not
refuse Mr.. Powderly q offer to eliminate
the Objectionable feature. We see no;h
ing reprehensible in the Knights
|of Labor or other trade unions
as We have them here. They
are no worse, no more oath bound, than
our Hiberniaps or Foresters, and l am
chaplain myself In several such orders.
There are few priests In the diocese
who are not. Their secrecy Is a busi-
ness secrecy, and intended for no evil
purposes. The labor organizations be-
lieve In settling their troubles by arbi-
tration. They do not teach the destruc-
tion Of property. think the working
men are made better by such organiza.
tions There may be local abuses in
the orders as known to the Archbishop
of Quebec, OF which know nothing.
In any event bis jurisdiction does not
extend to the United States. Were we
to pronounce against such societies II
would affect 10, 900 of our members in
Chicago alone. But, as 1 said before,
We see nothing reprehensible In labor
ORGANIZATIONS, but feel rather like Gu
couraging them. So far as l know
there 10 not the least clash between
their principles and our Church teach
lings."
