When you see youth who will do
any sort of work, no matter how menial it
may be, rather than b. idle, you can make
up your mind that that fellow amounts to
something. The young man who would
starve before he would do anything be-
meath what he conceives to be his dignity,
is not made of the right kind of stuff to cut
much Of figure in this life "Any port in
q storm" is good maxim. Don't be afraid
OF any sort of work so long as it is honor
able.
Many people have very obscure idea
of the principle of the arc and incandes
cent lamp respectively. In the arc lamp.
electric discharge takes place between
two hard pieces of conducting carbon sep
arated from each other by an interval
which is kept as nearly as possible con-
slant by automatic devices. An arc OF
light of intense brilliancy called the vol
taic arc is thus obtained. In the glow or
incandescent lamp filameDt OF carbon in
closed in globe exhausted of air by mer
curry pump serves as a path along which |
the current passes. The resistance the cleo
tricity meets with in passing through this
filament il sufficient to raise the latter to
and light is thus obtained
more suitable for the illumination of inter |
iors generally.
Speaking of the release of Rev. Cover
the Mercer Press says: Mr.. Covert
had for weeks been engaged in straighten
ing ont the irregularities in the supreme |
lodge of the order of Scion and had un-
earthed most outrageous peculations Oh
the part Of supreme officers, and was pre-
pared to convict the thieves who had srol- |
IN by wholesale the money of the order, |
when he was seized and locked up on the |
charge of lunacy. We are much mistaken
~ to the metal of the Rev. Covert if some |
,ne does not suffer for this outrage on the |
liberty Of the citizen, and that the thieves
N the order of Solon will not feel that they |
are done with him yet. We are informed
by J. g. White the attorney who effected |
lis discharge that Mr.. Covert, while in al
most perfect health, will now take some
.est from the mental strain under which |
le has labored for some years, in the Hnr
lem suits, mining and other large opera
ions, and will spend some time visiting |
friends and relations in this, his native
county. His friends discover that any
alarm as tn his sanity was utterly ground
ess.
