Faulty Foreign Fusel Oil.

A correspondent of London Lightning asks how to apply an electric current to the purifcation of we'll water, the ob- jection to this water being that it turns whisky black. The editor of that journal remarks that the writer has by no means proved that the water is at fault and sug- gests that he look to his whisky as we'll, as poor sorts of whisky may contain sulphureted hydrogen or tannin, which blackens iron salts. If the electrical treatment should prove to be too ex- pensive, he recommends the American method of consuming the whisky and water separately and adds that he need not fear that the black compound will form i'll his own well, as the presence of the gastric juice will prevent the formation of any black iron sulphide

SAN FRANCIS0O'5 CLAIMS,

Of those who favor san Francisco as
the place for holding the national con-
yeltiOn.
THE railroads" said he, have Off
cially agreed on a S25 rate from CHI
cago. New Orleans and kindred points,
which is lust what it will cost any one
to get from this city to New York or
New Orleans. Aside from that, the
delegates and visitors will have a
pleasant Journey, unequalled climate,
and see a beautiful country The North
western and Santa Fe are running fast
trains. the trip being made in three
DAYS or four from New York. We have
been coming east TO conventions for
forty-seven years, and part OF the time
had 10 pass through a foreign country,
cross the Isthmus, requiring thirty
davs. and we think ii about time the
Eastern delegates made the Coast a
visit. We have had about everything
else out there the Grand Army Of the
Republic. the Knights Templars, the
Sunday School Union, Teachers Union,
and the National Hotel Keepers Asso-
citation Is now on its way. We have thu
finest hotels IN the world, and have
demonstrated our ability to properly
accommodate a large gathering. We
are willing to stand on our record in
that respect. We also have ample tele-
graphic facilities. The Western Union
has twelve wires and the Postal eight
or tents own overland lines, and
those of the Northern Pacific and the
Canadian Pacific. The larger news
papers would be able to get all the
special dispatches they desired, and I
am sure the Associated Press, which
has its leased wire, would bring as good
a report as from any other city. The
convention has been held in every other
part of the country, and IS there
pleasanter place than San Francisco in
which to hold the convention in sum-
mer?"
