 ELECTRIC POWER FROM CoAL.-Tbe direct conversion of heat into electric work is problem that continues to tax the ingenuity of the electricians. What seems to be the most promising attempt at solution yet made is new thermo-magnetic generator and motor devised by M. Menges, of the Hague. Like the recent pyro- magnetic dy- namo of Edison, it depends on the fact that the magnetic metals lose their magnetic power when heated. It claims several important advantages. however, the chief being that the nec essary alterations of heating and cool ing are given automatically, and that the cores of the armature coils are re- lieved from changes of temperature.

The wall flowers to the frolic wind Do dance their golden aigulets, And elfmaids steal the hawthorn beads To W ear for fairy amulets. The spring is here, the spring is here The love time of the year, my dear, All heavy hang the apple boughs,
 Weighed down by balls of yellow gold, The poppy cups, so fiery bright,
 Meseems would burn the hearts they hold The summers here. the summers here The kiss time of the year, my dear. The birds are winging for the south, The elfmaids haste them to their bowers And dandeli0n balls do float
 Like silver ghosts of golden flowers. The autumn's here, the autumn's here The wife time of the year, my dear!

News has been received at Raleigh n

Inns, by his father-in-law, who is keeper
of the poor house of Nash county. Some
months ago Collins ran away with the
daughter of the keeper in opposition to
the wishes of the latter and soon return

with his father-iu-law.
Collins was idle and drunkard. He
lived at his father -in-law's until the
county commissioners notified the latter
that Collins must be sent away and re-
fused to support him longer. Collins
was accordingly given money and sent
away.
A few days ago he returned and de
clared publicly on the streets of Nash

in-law. That night he went to the lat

quieted down and begged for admission.
He was finally admitted, and as soon as
he was warm he began cursing and
threatening his father-in-law, and made
motion to draw "A pistol, whereupon

fired and shot him dead in the presence

Queer Notions Concerning America.

An English lady who had travelled over
the greater part of Europe said she had q
great desire to come to America, and her
principal object in doing SO was to shoot
Niagara. rather opened my eyes at
this, and said that l thought she must
refer to the celebrated trip down the
rapids of tine St. Lawrence, but she was
very positive on the subject, and said
she meant Niagara, and nothing else;
she had understood that they did it in
steamboat, and she knew she should en-
joy the sensation.
A well-educated middle-aged gentle
man told me that the reason our civil
! war lasted so long was that we had no
military men in our country, and that q
war carried on entirely by civilians could
not proceed very rapidly. If any of you
have ever seen an English atlas you will
understand why it is difficult to get
from it good idea of America. We
shall find, in such an atlas, full and COM
plete maps of every European country
and principality, whole page being
sometimes given to an island, or to a
colony in Asia and Africa; but the entire
United States, with sometimes the whole
of North America besides, is crowded
into single map Some of these arc so
small that the New England States are
not large enough to contain their names,
and are designated by letters which re-
fer to the names printed in an open part
of the Atlantic Ocean. No wonder that
the people who use these maps have a
limited idea Of our country.
But it is not only English people who
appear to know very little about America.
A German countess once asked me if we
had any theatres in New York, and when
told her that there were not only Q
great many theatres in that city, but that
it possessed two grand opera-houses at
which, at that time, two of the leading
prima donnas of the world were singing:
on the same nights, she was little sur
prised. 1t is quite common in various
parts Of the Continent to hear people
speak of the late war between North and
South America. They knew chat the
war was between the North aud the
South, and as it was in America, the
mistake is natural enough to people who
have studied only European geography.

rooms, art galleries, reception rooms,
etc., the most of which are of great
beauty and gorgeousness, the amount of
gliding to be seen passing all compari-
son. Not only furniture, but walls,
ceiling, doors and holdings around the
windows are covered with sheets of gold
There seems to be no end to the bedizen-
ing display. Wherever an opportunity
offered to slap on lot of gold leaf there
was no failure to do it, and the amount
of bullion hammered into sheets and
spread over that building must have been
enormous.
There are several drawing rooms whose
walls are of single sheets of glass of vari-
GUS colors, set in gilded frames, and the
effect is gorgeous. We had seen no end
of mirrors elsewhere, miles and miles of
them, in the most unexpected and mex
plicable places, mirrors in closets and
attics, and cellars, bathrooms and bou-
doirs lined, ceiled and floored with them,
but these glass rooms are something new.
Imagine, if you can, a large apartment,
4Ox30 feet in size, with walls and cell
ings of purple glass, set in heavily
carved cornice of gold, the panels broken
now and then by gilded tracery and fill
gree work, and from the centre of the
ceiling an immense crystal chandelier
of the same color hanging And there
was not only a purple glass room, but
yellow, blue, pink, scarlet and all the
other colors in the rainbow are repre-
sented. There are Japanese rooms, Chi
nese rooms, fitted and finished most
sumptuously. Pompeiian rooms, Roman
rooms, and rooms setting forth an ex.
ample of the luxury, the taste and the
fabrics of all ages and races. Dozens of
rooms are hung with Gobelin tapestry,
and hundreds with ordinary silk and satin
brocades. There is the gold room and
the silver room, the red marble, and the
green marble room, and a bewildering
series of apartments that one cannot re-

No end Of fun was made of Secretary

No end of fun was made of Secretary
Seward, records the Springfield Repubh-
ran, when he carried through his project
for the purchase of Alaska. A glance at
the commerce of that region last year,
given in the report of Governor Swine
ford, shows that the market value of its
products was nearly equal to the purchase
money. She sent to market in 1887 In furs,
$2, 500, 900; fish, 50, 900, 900; gold, ST.
$50, 900; lumber, etc., 500, 900; total,
So, $50, 900. The fur interest has already
AIKEN second place in the list, and it is
quite possible that the fisheries will be
pushed hard by the mines in few years.
With a white, creole and partly civilized
native population of nearly 1O,OOO in a
country so rich in natural resources, the
subject of some kind of local legisla-
ture cannot long be safely delayed. Only
few people hold land there in fee sim
pie, but hundreds Of settlers are ready to
prove their claims when Congress makes
proper provision for such action.

Chemists, the 81. sJdmes's G0sstte says,
have for long time endeavored to find
q good artificial substitute for quinine.
whenever war breaks out on large scale
the value of genuine quinine always rises
very rapidly in the market. Many aka
loids, possessing more or less OF the
properties Of the alkaloids of quinine,
have been artifcially formed; but by far
the best of these was, until quite recently,
antipyrine, or, to give it its full chemical
name, neutrality-suspicious.. This aka
loid, which was discovered in 1888 by
Professor Knorr, of Erlangen, is coal
tar product, and was recently, in letter
TO the London Times, put forward by
Mr.. Watson Smith as remedy for sea-
sickness; but its chief merit lies in the
fact that it is a notable reducer OF tenn
perature. Il has Of late met with for
midable rival in antifebrine, another
product Of coal tar. Antifebrine is not
only perfect substitute for quinine,
especially in cases Of typhus and inter
mittent fever, but also amore certain and
less Objectionable cure than salicylic acid
for rheumatism. Coal tar has already
given us the most brilliant dyes, the
rarest scents, the most powerful disin-
fectsnts, and saccbarine, which is the
sweetest Of known substances. Yet tits
usefulness seems to be far from exhausted,
and Berlin professor the other day as
sured his class that from coal tar he
could brew as good cup Of tea as from
tea leaves. r.-.-.-- - y

The International Counsi of Women
was opened at Washington D. c., with
religious services at Albaughs Grand
Opera House. The attendance was large.

the Rev Anna Shaw was the "lIeavenly
Vision" After referring TO St. Paul's
vision of truth, she said:
"All down through the centuries God
has been revealing in vision great truths
which have lifted the race step by step,

religious beliefs, yet we come together
here, and now with one harmonious pur-
pose-that of lifting humanity, both men
and women, into niger, purer and truer
life. To one has come vision of polit-
ical freedom. She saw how the avarice
and ambition of one class with power
made him forget the rights of another
She saw now niust laws embittered both
those who made them and those upon
whom injustice rested. She recognized
the great principles of universal equality
and rights and saw that all alike must
