A NEW scheme for harbor defense is
soon to be tried. Perforated iron
pipes will be sunk in the water, and
through them petroleum will be
forced. In this way a fierce stream of
blazing oil could be sent down on the
enemy's fleet to drive it away. Iron
vessels could not pass through this
lake of fire, because it could be made
to extend many miles along river.

GENERAL ITEMS.
A MERCHNTS sOLILOOUIEs,

To sell or not to sell;
That is the question.
Whether it is better to ship the goods
And take the risk of doubtful payments,
Or to make sure of what is in possession
And by declining, hold them.
To sell to ship; perchance to lose,
Aye, there's the rub;
For when the goods are gone
What charm can win them back
From slippery debtors?
Will bills be paid when due,
Or will the time stretch out till crack OF
doom?
What of assignments, what of relatives,
What of uncles aunts and mother-in-laws
With claims OF borrowed money?
What of exemptions, homcsteads and COM
promise
That cooly offers ten cents on the dollar,
And the lawyers fees
That eat up even this poor pittance?
Yet sell we must,
And some we'll trust.
We seek the just;
For wealth we lust,
BY some wei re Gust.
And stocks will rust,
But we skip the wust,
Or we'd surely bust.

Some Interesting Statements of q French
Visitor to PittsburE.
C. W. Firnhateer, Partisan business
man, is at the Anderson. Mr.. Firnhateer
is a monarchist, and believes business would
be better in France if they had more
stable Government. He says the debt of
the country in the past ten years has been
increased 1000, 100000 francs, and he pre-
fers change in the hope that the financial
affairs of the Government will be properly
administered.
Concerning Boulanger he said: "The
General is not a popular man in France.
The people in Paris have made it a rule for
the past 30 years to vote for the opposition
candidate to spite the Ministry, and this is
why Boulanger was elected. / have a
number OF friends who voted for Boulanger,
but they told me they would not shake his
hand. The majority of the French people
favor peace so long as they can't ally them
selves with Russia. That Government will
not combine with the French while France
is q republic.
1.-The French would like to see the Ameri-
can tariff reduced somewhat. The Ameri-
cans send their foodstuffs into France al
most free of duty. French clocks coming
nere are iaAeu oV per cenI, Willie American
clocks go into France under per cent
duty. America sends its artists to the
schools of the masters of France, where they
are educated for nothing. The student
ships his pictures to America without pay-
ing duty, but the master is taxed 80 per
for his work. AT one time the masters dis
cussed the subject of keeping out Ameri-
cans from the schools unless this unfair dis
elimination was stopped, but they finally
concluded that art was above any such petty
meanness."

BURNED BY AN EXPLOSION.
A Natural Gas Leak Fired by a Mill Hand
With Lantern.

A Natural Gas Leak Fired by a MILL Hand
With a Lantern.
A natural gas explosion occurred in
Lawrenceville last night. Shortly after 9
o'clock James Creely, an employe at Car
negie's Thirty-third street mill, was passing
large natural gas stand pipe, erected just
outside the mill on ThirtY-third street, when
the gas which had escaped from leak at
the bottom of the pipe ignited from a
lantern he was carrying, and exploded with
great force. The conclusion threw Creely
up against the mill, and before he was able
to get up he was seriously burned about the
head and upper part of the body.
The flame set fire to the mill and the
upper portion of the Junction bridge. An
alarm was sent in from box 81, and the
flames were extinguished with slight loss,
though the department had great difficulty
in reaching the place on account of the mud,
one hose carriage sticking in the mire for
fully ten minutes. The gas had to be shut
off on the Allegheny side of the river, as the
place where the leak occurred is below the
gas company's station on this side where the
line crosses.
