Several wears before the introduction Of
nitrous oxide gas all kinds OF experiments
were tried TO devise some method TO cX-
tract teeth without pain. One plan was
the qalyanic battery, or lightning melh-
cd. " n copper wire being connected from
the battery TO the forceps, which conveyed
ash0ck 10 the tooth, and was supposed 10
prevent pain during the operation. Our
first patient, robust, healthy man, whose
teeth were put in 20 stay, wanted a
large mOlar extracted. The attachment
was made rs usual. but the connecting
wire proved 10 be too snort, and parted

course d|isconnecting the battery entirely.

Our patient instantly left the chair and
with d smile on his face. declared 10 Ia be
thc greatest invention Of the age, saying
he had not suffered the slightest pain. In
this ease. at least, mind conquered matter.

PARIS EXPOSITION.

of course Congress will make an APP
prcpriation for the AmeriC an exhibit at
the Worlds EXPEDITION in Paris next
year.
Americans, above all other people, ap'
preciate the immense value TO a country
OF these great international fairs. The
American Centennial Exhibition set us
forward almost a century, and we feel its
effects in trade, in all our manufactures,
In our architecture, and home decora-
tions.
II is not an exaggeratiOn TO say that
the modern mind becomes almost wild IN
contemplating The possibilities OF the age
of mechanism, when we view all the inter
change of the active genius of different
peoples displayed in these products oil
the arts.
OF all Others the American is suited to
appreciate this and TO use it. he is
free man, without any trammel OF class
or prejudice OF circumstance OF plrth
and he rushes with a passion OF a noble
ambition to learn from all the world ant
TO compete with all the world.
In this connection we call attention tC
the elaborate picture in the window Of
the TIMES office Of the Exposition build
ings Of the Centennial Fair OF Australia
90 which numerous Richmond manufac.
turers are preparing to send specimens
of their handicraft. We asked our Nir
ginia Congressman some time ago to sea
that there should be an appropriation
also to fit out a ship TO take TO the Aus
tralian Exposition our American contrl
buttons and represent our great country
properly.

HOOTH AND BARRETT.

We have no objection to exchanging
courtesies with theatrical managers gen
orally. but we declined to do so in the
case of the Booth.Barrett engagement in
Richmond, and returned the tickets sent
TO the Office.
The reason for this was, as we stated
last week, that the sale Of seats by auc-
ton was not only wrong, but the p%articu-
lar way of requiring "A bidder to first pay
SO before he could bid, made the wrong
an outrage; and though the trick may
have paid, i is absolutely certain that
! the performance would have brought in
more money If it had been given on fair
principles.
We quoted an extract from a New
| York paper last week 10 enlighten the
people as to what a good metropolitan
critic thought of the Indifferent character
of this company, which is put on the
road with two stars and a very dim galaxy
as Il support anu uO SNciVlC'
We 10 not propose to accept any false
idea of pretended artistic skill established
with patent medicine advertising or to
admit that either Mr.. Booth or Mr..
Barrett is entitled to claim the place OF a
great histrionic artist.
The idea is absurd, and all people OF
! sense must perceive that there is gross
snobbery in putting up the price and
painting the sensation red just to cover
the defects of the performance.
Mr.. Larry O'Brannagan, dads Lawrence
Barrett, can no more give an artistic IN
depreciation of Othello than he can make
himself out an educated man after his at

showed that he did not ven know the
canons of the art as the familiar authors
have written about them, and when he
gasps through six tragic scenes one
would think that the tragic muse had
better pipe her Candies on stills" II Mr.
Barrett were TO be an actor TO play
classic tragedy.
The speculation managers were MOI
able to hang out the card that most
pleases the speculation Snowman, "stand.
ing room only" There was plenty OF
room. The curtain rose at SIS and fell
on the last act at 1895, which, including
the smallest margin for five waits" be.
tween the six acts, made the time Of per
Torrance two hours and twenty minutes,
Messrs. Booth and Barrett left The
provincial town" of Richmond which
they had sold at auction at ll:l7 +. NJ,
having arrived at Il station at II p. NJ.
So that to conclude the e%pilogue to this
fraud we have only to look at the acting
edition Of Othello, to see that the play
must have been cut with a hand saw in
order to put it on the stage in that space
of time.
The company was weak.

THE PIRATlCAL TRUST.

There never was a prettier piece of
irony in the thieves calendar than 20 put
a synonym of confidence to the organi-
cation Of a lot Of manufacturers who,
protected by the high tariff that gives
capital the advantage over all competi-
tors, have not big capital, come to an
arrangement to hold all the goods made
BY the entire set at an e%Xtravagant price.
The way il is done has been shown in the
Standard Oil Trust and others. The big
manufacturers combine, fix the price,
and freeze out all smaller manufacturers
who decline to come in. The market is
thus put at the mercy of the pirates, and,
like the famous gang of Penzance, they
give their scheme a name that indicates
a sense of consciousness"
In a short time the rubber shoe bust
ness OF this country will be monopolized.
Pending the completion of the Trust a
schedule of prices has been adopted.
These prices are, of course, higher than
those now paid. After the combination
shall have been firmly established, the
prices can be raised again. If any indie
pendent manufacturer shall try to under
sell the Trust he will be pursued and
broken down or compelled to come into
the ring.
Such is the result of monopoly's great
opportunities under the tariff used as the
big trusts can use them. 1t is one Of
those gigantic strokes of roguery that
astounds people and makes them wonder
how in this age of free thought and com
mon sense the law is not up to the Of
lenses that law gives the opportunity to
commit.
We know that there is a crime, bu,
how to make the punishment fit the crime
Is the thing.
II Is fortunate that these abuses arc
eliminating at the time the House OF
Representatives is called on to insugu-
rate a great work OF reform, for the
thing demands q radical cure that can
not be in keeping with any timid and
trimming policy.

facts About Fleas.

Fleas love dirt, and in il they flourish
and multiply most a|buudantly. But IN
spite Of ST. DOminic's curse and their I'M
clean haunts, they are interesting little
fellows. Let us put one under the micro
scope. 1t seems TO be clothed in a sort Of
armour formed Of brown overlapping
mates. that arc so exceedingly tough rs to
be almost i~ndcstructible. Its head IS
small and very thin, and it has a single
eve upon each side. This eye IS black
and Inc rays OF light scintillato within 10
ike sparl-s Of fire. Puget managed 10
look through one Of those eyes, and he
found that IL diminished objects in size
while il multiplied them in numbcr-a
man appearing Ike an army Oh fairies,
and the flame Of a candle becoming LOCO
tiny stars. From the shape Of its head,
and for other reasons. the flea IS supposed
10 use only Z eye az a time. The oifen.
sive weapon Of the flea is composed OF
two palpi, or f%eelers, two piercers n a
tongue. When il feeds it stands erect,
tbrusting this sucker into the flesh; and
it will eat without intermission until dis
turbed. for il vOids rs fast as il swallows
its food. II is interesting to put several
IN q glass, and, giving theIA a piece OF
raw meat, see them al standing on their
hind legs TO suck up its juices.
Their manner Of breathing IS stu undo
tormined, but it is thought most probable
that they receive air into their bodies
through small holes at the ends OF the

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

De T~ocqueville. that wise political
philosopher, said that If the United States
did not m~onopolize the trade OF South
America it would be a proof that the
Anglo-Americans were degenerating. 1t
is certain that the Anglo.Americans are
no: degcncrs,ing, but still the philosopher
Is right. and one. OF the best authorities
on both trade, manufactures, and poll
tics, says, that the exporters of the
United States are very far from sup
plying the wants Of South America
Is well known; that they are de-
cidedly inferior 10 tEeir European
competitors in the Southern half OF our
hemisphere Is perhaps not so well known,
but il. unfortunately, a fact. We do not
now refer 10 the fatal barriers erected by
our fiscal policy between us and the mar
kets of the world we allude rather to
those foundation qualities OF business
enterprise and commercial %shrewdncss in
which Americans are supposed to be
pre. eminent, but in which they are far
surpassed bv their rivals in the South
American trade. The reports OF our
| Consuls unite with the accounts OF travel
lers and residents to make 1t clear that
the exporters of u country are serl
ously handicapped in the race for the
commerce of Spanish America.
Mules are the freight-carriers OF South
America, but we will not pack u cot
ton goods in small enough bales to be
carried on mules. The English viii
print anything that the buyer wants
even if be only takes ten pieces OF Q
STYLE. whereas in New York if they want &c
get a certain pattern printed for any one
market they must buy 500 pieces. In othel
words, in England a man will get ter
bales with fifty different patterns, anC
here in New York he would get one pat
tern.
The stolid Indifference of America &c
her foreign trade in her w products Il
owing to the ironclad rule of giving thu
manufacturer a protected home market
or rather we should say that the pro
tected manufacturer is given the adyan
tage of an enslaved home market that il
obliged to buy his goods at twice theiI
value.

MECHANICS INSTITUTE.

A year ago the TINES stated the plan
for a mechanics institute which was the
proper one to succeed, rs il would secure
the support Of the capitalists and en-
ployers of Richmond in a useful scheme
to promote The education OF a class OF
people who are at present without the
opportunities to study the mechanic arts.
Throughout the State there are hun
dreds of young men the bent of whose
talents is in the line of the skilled and
scientific education, and we can do
nothing better for them and the commu-
nifty than to establish an institution with
all the facilities.
Besides the great results in aiding the
people of the State, the city of Richmond
will show to her working classes that all
the men of means in the city are inter
ested In the education of all the people,
beyond what is given at the expense OF
the State.
But let the principal point of difficulty
at present be clearly understood and
avoided, viz: the proposition to unite
the Agricultural Fair and the Mechanics
Institute. We can't have a mechanics
institute out in the country or an agri.
cultural fair in town, and the people who
would gladly support either would not
join in any such contradictory scheme.

SOLDERING Telenraph Wires.

Arapid method of soldering telegraph
wires has recently been introduced and IS
now to be generally adopted in Russia.
rs principal advantage consists in the
saving of time required for the work and
in the avoidance Of any ''scraping, y
which would to some extent reduce the
strength Of the Wire. The two ends OF
the wire, already embraced by binding
wire, are dipped into u vessel holding a
considerable quantity Of melted solder
upon the top Of which there is sufficient
powdered sal ammoniac 10 leave a thick
layer Of liquid salt. The ends of the wire
pressed into the vessel are quickly joined
