The message contained $4,000 words,

being beautifully formed. Moreover,
a border three-eighths of an inch wide

Public Lighting.

The growth of the business Of light
ing public streets and squares may
properly be classed as n of the won
ders Of modern times. The first feeble
attempts to light the highways were
made at Eddessa and Antioch in the
fifth century, laws being passed to oblige
persons to place lights in their windows.
Similsr laws were not passed In Eng
land until the sixteenth century. In
1862 q body Of torch boys was organized
in London, who for . small fee accom-
panied pedestrians. Five years later.
at Paris, chains we're hung across the
streets and lanterns suspended from
them. Early in the present century the
streets of London were lighted by in
significant oil lamps, but they were still
so dark that thieves fiourished and rob-
berries were common at night.
The great advance in the matter of
lighting public streets have been made
within the last half century. OF the
three substances almost exclusively used
at present, viz: petroleum, gas, and
electricity, in point Of absolute cor
my, the first named outranks the other
two. Refined petroleum, at present
low prices, and burned in vastly inn
proved lamps, has added much to the
social and intellectual enjoyment Of
mankind. 1t has found its way around
the world, so that in the solitudes Of
eastern deserts or among the iungles Of
Africa the traveller discovers its use for
light.
There were . few years after the
whales became scarce in the Arctic
Ocean, and oil from that source high in
consequence, and prior to the advent of
refined kerosene, that the gas COM
panies had the lighting field largely to
themselves. Content with the large
profits from the business that was forced
to rely on them, very little progress was
made either in improving the manufac-
ture or cheapening the price to con-
aumorN-

Az to Ex.Presidents,

Until the United States shall de.
eide to pension ex-presidents it is right
and proper that they should become
private citizens and nothing more.
Such is the democratic theory, and
such should be the corresponding
practice. They are not "monarchs out
of a job but American citizens, and
they need NJ other title or distinction.

ThrtllinG STORY Of Adventure
Durin0 the Late War.

Ten days before Rosecrans moved
from Nashville 10 attack Bragg at Muir.
fEoesboro he knew the Confederate
strength 10 : man and . gun. That
was, psrhaps, the best piece Of scout
and spy work on . large scale performed
during the VA. There were twenty
two d m, male and female, engaged In
Tia enterprise for three weeks, and
f0ur Of m remained with Bragg's line
mp % within twelve hours Of the march
out Of Nashville.
On the other hand, Bragg wa receiv-
ing hourly information from : hundred
different sources, and his estimate Of
ths Federal strength was found to be
only 162 out q the way. To get these
Agurss On either side required much
pskecnAl saczi6Os ct great peril, and
during tho three weeks mentioned three
u Our sptes were captured and we got
two C~onfedsratea. Two Of ours were
shot while making ; break for liberty,
and the third died In prison. The two
C0nfsderatcs were killed within our
lines and 8 guard OF four men with them,
By tho explosion Of an ammunition
wagon.
Z was required Of me to enter
Murfrcesboro and remain for q couple
Of weeks TO get the headquarters gossip.
Such pointers Is I picked up were to be
forwarded 70 . certain spot on the NASH
vile pike BY . young man who accom-
panied me to cot - messenger. His
name was Charles Jackson and he was
. private IN IN Ohio regiment. Il was
arranged that ! should hail from Louis
VILE and he from Lexington, and for
two days before leaving Nashville we
ware busy posting up ON the streets,
