Riding a Free Horse to Death.
It hardly needed figures to prove
that those who enjoy the benefits of
natural gas are deplorably wasteful of
natures rare bounty The skies above
the various natural gas regions glow
ingly advertise at night the fact Of
mans prodigality, and pale and useless
flames at noontide accentuate the old
truism in regard to money: easy
come, easy 60
The origin of natural gas is still an
unsolved problem, and fear is never
entirely allayed as to the probability of
the exhaustion of the subterranean
reservoirs from which manufacturers in
favored sections are making draughts
OF caloric energy with so much thought
lessness. This fear is more active
among people who hope some day a
lucky discoverer will open to them the
advantages Of natural gaseous fuel; and
it is not surprising that the hopeful
should be more or less alarmed at the
Those who are at the spigots Of oppor-
tunity, seem to be so absorbed in gath
ering the profit accruing from natures
beneficence, and in the enjoyment of
the convenience of the application of
the gas, that they have little thought
as to the duty of checking the flow of
gas when it's energy is not needed, or
when it cannot be made available.
The American Manufacturer SAYS the
Pennsylvania company has for some
time past been endeavoring to measure
the waste of natural gas in five of the
leading mills of Pittsburg. The result
Of its observation proves it to be fact
that about one-third of the gas
consumed in these mills is actually
wasted. The following figures show the
consumption and the waste in making a
ton of iron in the five mills which were
under the observation of the Pennsyl-

the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy

"Many of the statements made recent

tinue indefinitely unless the strike be

John &. Rose, attorney for Mr.. Mudd,
i'm his contest for the seat of Hon.
Barnes Compton,. has just prepared
and served on him notice of contest.
He was busily engaged in his office
to-day when asked by your CORE
spondent to state his grounds there

relative, if any, of the DR.. Mudd who
passed no little of his time on the
| Dry Fortugas for his part, or sup
posed connection, with the murder of
| President Lincoln.
They have confined themselves to
strictly legal grounds in the notice,
such as can be fully established by
proof at their command. On the face
of their returns it is shown that Mr..
Compton got Is, $50, and Mr.. Sidney
f. Mudd," 1929, not enough margin
for fun, as a distinguished Texan once
said as to theory of domestic felicity
brought to his attention. Two votes,
one for as. E. Mudd," the other for
"Mudd," were thrown out by the
judges in their footing up, as was also
one for Compton"
In st. Marys county votes cast for
"Mudd," and rs. f. Mudd,n were not

them by the judges. In Charles

he was only credited with 1888.

Advocator of the Penny Post.

LONDON, January John Henri
ker HeatOn, NJ. P, has accepted an
invitation to visit the United States
early in the year. He expects while
here, to have the honor of appearing
before congress in advocacy of the
ocean penny postage, and much of the
time of his visit will be devoted to
the .furthering Of cheap postage; his
idea is that as letters are now carried
long distances by rail, at a penny
rate with profit to the postoffice
departments of England and the
United States the penny postage be-
tween England and America would be
perfectly feasible; indeed, nOn-contract
steamers actually carry letters for
the English postoffice from South
hampton to New York, for about Que
penny half penny each, that is, forty
letters go to the pound, and the rate
paid to the non-contract steamers is
one shilling and eight pence per pound.
AS to the profits, Mr.. Heaton calcu-
lates that the English postoffice
makes from ESQ to $50 annually, on
American mails, II millions of letters
and $500 pounds weight of news
papers, ETC., were sent to America in
1888, for which the steamers COM
pany's received less than Gl00, while
the English postotfice received more
than 81 800 for stamps.

How About That Paving?

San Antonio LIGHT:
In the issue of Saturdays Express,
a paragraph reads as follows:
"a great many of the tax payers of San An
tonic have doubtless forgotten that provision
has been made for paving Man street with
wooden blocks. However, they will soon be
reminded of the fact. The first interest
coupons on the bonds sod to raise the money
n the purpose are about due and will have
to be paid"
some candidate for mayor but in JUS
the public should be posted on this
subject. 1t is well-known fact, that
shortly after the bids were opened for
paving the streets and plazas, the
mayor met with an accident that con-
fined him to his room for several
weeks. and during that time he failed
to draw the whole of the public i'm
provement committee together to
decide on the mode of pro-
cedure, that is, where to pave,
how much to pave, where to
commence, and what shape to leave
the plazas? etc, and great
many other things, not taken into
WV oO-
server. On the 18th of December the
committee finished their work, and
since that time, and befere, the bust
ness is progressing as weather and
circumstances would permit. And we
f1atter ourselves that we have accom-
plished as much in preparing mate
rails for said work as any company
could possibly do, when such large
amount of manufactured material is
required. Any unbiased person can
see the fault does not belong to the
mayor. The probabilities are that had
the election not been so near at hand
we would not have heard even a whis.
per on this subject. A contract of this
nature, in other cities, would occupy
one year, where we have only six
months. By publishing this the
Evening LIGHT will oblige,

a Horse in TrOptoa1
Africa.

Several incidents of recent African
exploration call to mind the stories
that men told of the early travels of
white men in this country. A white
man on horseback is very unusual
spectacle in tropical Africa, and the
animal Mr.. Hodister rode a few
mouths ago made almost as much of
q sensation as the horses that Cortez
introduced into Mexico. HOLSTERS
journey was q short one, extending
only from Landana, on the coast, to
Bona, on the Congo, but it led the
traveller through densely peopled
region of which little is yet known.
any horse," he writes, "made a
great sensation. AT sight of him all
the women in the villages at first
were petrified with astonishment.
They stood motionless, with their
eyes fixed on the strange animal.
Coming to themselves at last, with
their hands raised above their heads,
they raised their cry of 'Ho, no, hop
expressive of boundless astonish-
ment- Some of them threw them
selves upon the ground, shifting their
breasts. Could it be. they said, that
such a great beast. with white man
above him, was harmless? Such an
animal must certainly eat black peo-
pie.
"When we convinced them at last
that horse was harmless and that he
was very useful animal they ven.
tured nearer. They had no eyes for
anything but the horse. As we pass
ed through the villages many Of the
followed as. The men
turned back after a mile or so, but
many of the women, who showed the
greatest interest and curiosity, fol-
lowed us for three miles. When my
horse trotted they tretted, too, their
eyes fixed on the beast. Unmirdful
of where they were stepping they fell
into the furrows IN the manioc fields,
and tumbled down in the tall grass.
They kept pointing the animal out
to the babies that were fastened on
their backs. From some of the viii
lagos deputatIons came to me asking
me to stop while in their towns
that they might haye time to admire
the prodigy"
A whole menagerie of African cur
iosities would not excite so much at
tention in the civilized world as this
horse aroused In part of Africa

species of the horse family is known.
