All things point to tho sun as the royal

miral Fitzroy. founder of the weather

book that all the phenomena agree with
the idea of such an electric influence on
the part of the moon, and farther that
it explains all unreconciled facts IN

deems from absurdity the dependence of
mankind for centuries on the aspects of

Natural Gas IN Dwellings.

The necessary danger attending the
use of natural cas- may not be greater
than that encountered in places where
the manufactured article is commonly
employed for purposes of light and fuel.
but it is certain that since twas utilized
in western Pennsylvania and southwest
crn New York more accidents have re-
suited than can be charged up to artiti-
ci:il gas the world over. Two Of the
most serious of these casualties have
taken place in Pttsburg, where not long
ago main exploded, wrecking several
buildings and killing four or five people,
and where. within week, the explosion
of another pipe has resulted in the de-
struction of = steamboat and the loss of
one life.
If natural gas may be utilized in the
homes and the business of the people
with safety very important problem
will have been solved. Where so en-
ployed for domestic purposes the econ-
omv of the household has been revolu-
tionized. The pipes are run into ordi-
nary cooking and heating stoves, as
we'll as CRATES, and, besides saving the
labor of carrying in coal and removing
ashes, as well as the cleaning and dust
ing made imperative under the old sys-
TEN, the new device obviatcs the neces-
sitv of kindling fires and of watching
them, ard at the same time reduces the
expense on account of the fuel and light
bv more than one-half When a fire is
wanted in every room in the house a
match for each room will supply the de-
mand If the fire becomes too strong it
may be checked by turning lever. and
on the other hand by similarly easy
movement every stove in the house may
be made red hot at moments notice.
The only drawback to all this is the
reflection that ones house is connected
BY direct pipes with the Internal regions,
with the devil knows who in charge Of
the generating process. If all goes well
below the little flames so successfully in
troduced in the houses above will be ex-
ceedingly enjoyable, but in the event Of
disturbances in the depths, or of some
slight defect in the means employed to
control the supply, there is no telling
what might become of the dwellings and
their inmates. II the natural gas wells
can be controlled and regulated as sue
cessfully as the reservoirs of the artificial
article are, there appears to be no ex-
cuse for the dreadful explosions which
have taken place from time to time. On
the other hand, ifthese explosions are to
be set down as unavoidable, the natural
gas enterprise becomes dangerous one,
not only to the people who avail them
selves of its seeming oonFunienees, but
to the public at large, which may be
blown to kingdom come at any time
when it least expects it.

Washington Correspondents.

A number of Washington correspond
ents dictate their dispatches to short
hand men, and these transcribe them
for the press. Stcnographers are very
cheap here, and in ordinary times you
can find one who will take down and
rewrite column letter for a dollar.
This is much cheaper than doing the
writing yourself, as the greatest expen=
diture of energy in writing is in the
pushing Of the pen. Some correspond
ents dictate their letters to the typewrit-
er and several I know have wives who
can run the typewriter as well as the
most experienced professionals. A lead
ing correspondent of New York paper
has Il wife who can take down a column
of correspondence from his dictation in
half an hour. This column contains
about l 800 words, and she must write
at the rate Of fifty words a minute. This
is very fast typewriter work, and its
speed will be appreciated when it is re-
membered that the ordinary longhand
writer who composcs does remarkably
well if he writes fifteen words minute.
A few newspapers keep men at the Capt.
tai who are expected to devote them
selves to letter-writing exclusively.
TEese gre few, however and their letters
are devoted to editorials, descriptive
matter, and gossip about men and
measures. The field of Washington
correspondents seems to me to be widen
ing every year, There are plenty OF
bright men in the business, and OF the
hundreds here the great majority are
trained men. The dissippated men
among them can be counted upon your
fingers; and rs rulo they are hard
working; keen -witted. snob-hating, gen
tlemanly fellows.

Robbed of $1,000 and his Watch.

Phil Cox, fne-looking man, who
halls from Yazoo City, Miss, paraded
the streets Of New Orleans for a week
with a big dog at his heels and a thous-
and-dollar silver certificate pinned 70
his waistcoat. He has been 1 regular
attendant at the Exposition races,
sometimes betting heavily, and was
usually in the COMPANY Of sporting
mon. He drank a great deal and used
to display the silver certificate without
any fear Of the consequences. Last
Thursday night Cox was taken TO his
named Waddle, Costello apd Faux
ner, who put him to bed. Vixen he
awoke the next morning his silver GER
tifcate, $500 in bills, two diamond
cluster pins and gold watch and
chain, valued at S4e0, were missing.
1t was found that the hinges had been
removed from the door leading into
the back yard, but it is thought tn t
the presence Of the big dog would
have prevented arobber from entering.
The police were informed late Satur-
day night and they arrested Waddlc,
but the other TWO men who tosk Cox
home have not been found.

MADsToSEs FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.
North Caroliaa Takes 4 Home Trca;.icni
Instead of Going to Paris.


North Carolina boasts of no less
than four madstones, each Of which IS
alleged to have certain specific virtues,
making each the great and only mad
stone. Wonderful apparent cures
have been effected by the use Of these
madstones during the past half centu-
ry. Some Of them arc even older than
that, but faith in their efficacy has
never diminished. There is q famous
one in Halifax county, and people
bitten by rabid dogs have been taken
to the stone Or the stone has been
taken to them fer years. Last year
two cases were treated by it and one
is now under treatment.
Another stone is known far and
near as the Painter maidstone, and is
owned by Mr.. Painter, of i'arson
county. It is in demand by both |ir-
ginians and North CarolinianS, and
there are cases known Of persons hay
ing cases known Of persons having
been taken hundreds Of miles to be
touched by this stone.
On Christmas eve Il. NJ. y hitc, Of
Halifax county, Va, was bitten by a
mad dog. He went TO Painters us
soon as possible for treatment. Pain
ter applied the stone sixteen times 10
the wound. 1t adhered fifteen times,
but at the sixteenth application the
stone would not adhere. White was
given immediate relief. Last week
negro woman living near Danville was
bitten. Saturday she was taken 10
Painter for treatment, and this is now
in progress. The people Of that sec
ton claim that this is the only gen
uine maidstone in the State. None o!
these madstones have ever been sold
By some persons they are regarded as
giving luck to their possesSors.

KILLED HIS OWN son.
A Kentucky Farmer Blows His Boy Head

on, Calling Him Lazy.
News has just been brought to
Owensburg, Ky, by gentleman from
Muhlenberg county, this State, of An
unnatural murder, that Of a son BY his
father, near the Mud River coal mines
in that county. G. L. Hopkins, the
father, is farmer, and is about fifty
years old. He has an ungovcrnable
temper at times. and has been the
dread Of the neighborhood. In his
ia nily he has been quite severe, and
at times even cruel, and then for 4
season, over-indulgent. Last week he
was on a spree and in one Of hi
savage moods, finding fault with every
thing at home. He charged his son
Willie with laziness and worthlessncsS,
altho Ugh the neighbors looked on him
aS patient, much abused ard over
worked boy.
Saturday morning, about5 o'clock
Willie, Who is nearly nineteen years
old, got up and began putting on his
best clothes. G. l.. Hopkins, the
father, who was standing with his
back to the fire, seeing this, exclaim-
ed: "You lazy whelp, take off them
breeches and put OH your working
trousers" Willie nettled up and re-
piled: "Pap, I've had enough of that"
md went on dressing. ''1'll show
you how to talk to me-" and grssping
the shotgun from the hooks Oh the
joist, fired as he spoke the last word
and blew the whole TOP of Willic's
head of. He hastily picked up his
hat and coat and fed, and has so far
escaped arrest.
