KtTUESlE'A MTfr WHIN.
Paris, March 15. T!ie fashionable fomalo world
Will be astoun lod at the latest whim wbicii ha
sol rod tbe beautiful Empress. For iomo time odd
rumwa bare been orcu ntcd, which are now thought
to bare had an origin in the far-roachlncc poller ot
the Emperors', rather than tn any change in the
tastes of the Empress. Visitors admitted to the
privilege of seeing their Majesties in tho retirement
of domestic life have ex pressed their astonishment
lit tbe simplioityol dress adopted b Eugenie. A
plain dress without t'linnvne, end worn with only
a linen collar and cifTT, w u said to be her costuino
on one occasion. In the recent Si.cech made by trie
Emperor before the Corps Legislatif, be declared
lilmself lired of hearing about more liberty for
Franoe. What FraDco wanted was not more liborty,
but greater nmplicitv, virtue, and nawinoss. To
this speecft Jules FaviO nmdo a terrible reply.
He Showed that, under the Empire, virtue and
happiness were not to bo lound: thut Idleness nnd
luxury bad taken their p ace; .hat vlso und wanton
noes stalked shsiiieics-'. abroad nt 'nM-ilny in Paris,
and were openly copied and couiiteuanccd by tlio
leadors of Parisinn poc-ely. i
Ihe efleet of this ecuthmg robuko has been Home,
wnat neutializco bv on incident which occurred the
othfr da?; and whioli baa been industriously crcu
lated. A deputation of Lyons workmen waltod
upon her Majesty with a samplo ot antique and vt-ry
costly brocade, winch she was requested to bring
1 nto fashion. "1 am very soiry I cannot comply
wi.h your wishes," said tho Kmpress, with her pecu
liarly charming mnlle, "but there are many ladies
whose husband could not afloid lliuin toilett s ai
expensive. 51 t own is among tho number." Of
course the dupuiiitiun lelt piuzicd, bewildered, a
tho Emperor's por rty, l.ut coiup etely fascinated,
I have not told you vet. nowevor, of the hit est i 111
perial whim, which has tuken tho direction of
Sewing Mac iiupH. A lew weeks ago the Kmpiess
issued an order for several different kinds of Sewing
Machines ono of whim, a very beautiful Orovi-r &
liaktr, captivated her Inncy, and it la faitl that she
bss not only become au oxpert operator herself, bu
that, greatly to the disgust of her ladies, she ordered
soveial moro ot the samo kind, und insists upon an
hour's practice as one ot the doily morning recrea
tions. A cert of Court hewing fociety has been thus
tormed.the substantial results of which are to bo
given to the poor. Tho news of this now whim of
the Empress bos been received with enthusiasm in
tudnonabto quarters, and an innuenso ruth created
lor jour Grovir & Uakor Machines. It Is to ba
hoped the new wl ini will last long enough to clollio
soiuo of the miserable poor of Paris.

CITY INTELLIGENCE
For Additional Local Items sec Tb ird Paje.
Important to Gas Consumers. The
equable distribution ot gas from one sjurce o
supply to many points of outlet, extending over a
large area, involves a greater expense than is con
sistent with commercial interests, aud the conse
quence Is, that consumers are compelled to submit to
the inconveniences of over aud under supply, or in
dividually to apply the remedy.
The bond which forces through the supply mains
the necessary amount of gas lor oonsumers, is called
"pressure," and is measured by the number of
tenths of inches ot water which it wi 1 support in a
syphon tube. Evory service pipe that conveys gas
trom the line ol a great nain deprives the remain
ing portion ol a certain amount of pressure; the
coneeguenco is, that when large amounts of gas are
to be passed, the pressure at the source of supply
and at the terminus, is very far from equal, so that
it is utterly impossible for gas companies to lurnish
a supply without a sensible difference between tbe
souice and extremity 01 use, and the consequent
wasteful conaumption by the consumers.
There are two moans ot remudyiug this difficulty.
One is to place in tho house ot each consumer a
Gasholder of sufficient capacity to contain the supply
tor a night, and allow it to tx filled during tbe day,
and then shut oil' from the street pressure, ana bura
trom the holder.
Tbe other is to place in each house, alon? with the
meter, an instrument called a JlegulUir, which only
shall furnish the needed amount of gas required tor
each burner, and with a unilorm pressure.
The first would prove expensive, offensim; and
dangerous. The second is the plao generally
adopted, and of the number ot devices contrived for
this purpose, neany all have proved failures, owing
to their use of Mercury, or the Flexible Uiuphrmm.
The two essential qualities 10 be attained in an
efiicieut Regulator, are: first delicacy ot adjust
ment, with reterenoe to some flxod standard; aud,
btcoud, the ability within the instrument iu-ll, to
increase the treasure when tne greater quantity of
gas is required.
These qualities, with other peculiar advantages,
are combined in tbe Regulator invented by Or. C.
M. Cresson. 1 has been used with irreat success in
Philadelphia duriuir the past two years, always pro
ducing a steady light wliti a saving of trom twenty
to thirty per cent, in the amount 01 gas consumed.
Thk Fink Arts. Two extensive sales of
pictures ty auction have unquestionably given an
Impetus to art matters in our city. Mr. Robinson,
the well-known picture dealer, at No. 910 Chesuut
rt-et, has a flue collection of palutings, which are
to be sold on Wednesday and Thursday evenings
next. An examination of the cataloguu will show
tbe value of the works. Specimens of tbe fiast
native and European artists are on view at his es
tablishment. There are some real gems In ihe col
lection, and connoisseurs will do well to examine
them during tbe early part ot the coining week.
Mr. Rotduson has selected the pictures with great
care and conscientiousness, and bis long connection
with fine art matters is a guarantee that nothing of
an Inferior character will be exposed for sale. As
the pna.iugs are all airangad lor exhibition with
vrvut taste aud judinnent. nersous Interested in tbe
Kits have an ample opportunity to closely inspect
them.
The "Commercial. List." This admi-
Tab'e mercantile loornal contains in (bis week's
Iwue a fine eat of the new Corn Exchange building.
Mr. Winslow, the proprietor of the List, is a wide
awake business man, and bv individual enterprise
has made the List to individual institution.

Savio of Gab. Every householder will acknow
ledge that the price of aas is a heavy tax, and a
serious portion of the annual expenditures; but tew
are aware thai a eouudcrub'e portion ot what is
paid tor is really wa-ted. Dr. Cie-son has invented
a Kesrulutor by means ot which this unnecessary ex
pense can be avoided. An advertisement in anothor
column explains tne wnoio tiling, and t.110 certiocatos
of several distinguished scientific gent'emon show
that it is enfrely meritorious. It is not only eiri

The Lapse op a Landghavate. By the death
of Prince Ferdinand Henry Frederick, Laud
erave ot HWse Ho nib 11 re lor the past eighteen
years, that little (lerman principality, tamotiB
lor its licensed pramins-hotises, lapses to the
Grand Duke Louis III of Hesse, in delimit of a
male heir. Tbe new ruler proclaims himself
from Darmstadt, under date ot March 24. The
addition to his revenue, by this accession, is
about $400,000 a year provided he confirms tbe
licences of the Baminp-honses, which have yet
twenty-five years to run. The respectable part
of the inhabitants are erivinu expression to a
hope that these dens of vice will now be broken
up, but it is doubtful whether Duke Louis will
throw away so laree a share of th profits en
joyed by his predecessor.
A Hokrible Accident. A little six year old
girl named Mary Nepper, living in Cleveland,
Ohio, was so severely burned about sunset,
Monday, that she died in four or five hours
thereafter. She and several little girls had built
a small bonfire in the road in front of her
father's bonne. The mother discovering it, put
it out, but the children kindled it asrain. While
holding a kind ot lairy dance about the burning
Silo, Mary's clothes caught tire. Her screams
rew the mother to the scene, but the ilames
could not be put out. The clothes were burned
off the body, the whole surface of which was
completely baked. The mother, iu attempting
to rescue her child, was so severely burned that
she is no':, expected to recover.
A Telegraph Decision. The general term of
the Supreme Court of New York, held iu Roches
ter lust month, madp an important decision in
the case of Ilruce A Mumlord against the United
States Telegraph Company. The suit was
brought to recover damasres for an error com
mitted in the transmission of a t"lraphic des
patch. In March, 1S65. Georee W. Cn.vier, of
Palmyra, acting lor plaintiffs, telegraphed to
Cammann fc Co., of New York, to purchase $700
in gold. The despatch, as tecoived, read $7000.
end on this order the larer amount of irold was
bcucht nt 171. The defendants claimed tbat they
were not. responsible for the error, lor the reason
thiit their office blanks contain a stipulation that
despatches shall be repeated before the comnnuv
can become liable. The court ruled tbat Mhis
was a pood defense, giving Judgment tor the de
fendant?. Assault of a Madman iton a Prixst. On
Monday afternoon a man culling himself Lam
bert called at the Catholic St. Paul's Church,
in this city, desiring to see the Bev. Herman
Ferendine, pastor, but this sentleman being too
ill to leave his apartment, his aged uncle, tho
Vicar-tieneral Fercndine, proceeded to wait on
the applicant. A conversation ensued, from
which it soon became apparent that Lambert
was afllictcd with a species of insanity, the
prominent symptoms being a fixed belief that
his life was soucbt by various patties, and a
disdain for all food and drink, lest there be
poison in it. The venerable Vicar endeavored,
in a kindly way, to dissuade him lrom iris fool
ish notions, and gently took htm by the arm,
saying, "Go home; rest assured no one intends
to aunoy you," Etc. Hereupon the mnniac ran
into a frenzy of denunciation, accusing the
Viear ot complicity in some plot to take his
(Lamberts) lile, and smuinir the Vtcar vio
lently in the face several times, felling him to
the ground. The Vicar flying from his antago
nist, tbe hitter proceeded in his mania to smash
and demolish things indiscriminately about tbe
room. The police were attracted by the noise,
arrested tbe furious maniac, and placed him in
confinement in the etation-houte. Cincinnati
Gazette.

THK FALL OF TUE DltOP.
During the readinir of tbe above the deputies
upon tbe scaffold, adjured the rope around the necK
ol tne criminal, and placed the black oap over bis
eves, shutting out the lidit of this world torover.
"When Sheriff Kimball bad finished reading the war
rant he stepped lorward a little, and sayin, ' In ac
cordance with the instructions of the waft-ant I
shall new execute the sentence of death unou
Edward TV. Green," pressed his foot uoon the
spring-. Tbo drop f e 1 and an involuntary sbuddor
ran through the spectators at the terrible sight of
the body swaying to and tro in the air. The full was
at least six leet too far by a low inches for tbe
beiirhtot the scaftoid. The rope, being a new one,
stretched to such an extent tliatt.10 leet of tbe man
touched the ground, and it was a uec-Ssary and
tainlul duty of tho deputy to draw tho oorfy uo
lrom the ground and hold it thus suspended until
be judged hie to be extinct.
It was a truiy horrible sight to those who witnessed
it to see the b&nicing muu dmw bis logs uo several
timts, and nervously twitch bis bands aud Uutrer-t
tor over six long minutes. His noon was noKbroken
by tee lull, and it appeared as if he was literally
cboked to death. Alter banging about half-an-bour
be was examined by lrs. Hooker, l ay lor and Hall,
who found a slight beating ol the heart Lie then hun
about ten minutes longer, when be was lowered Into
bis ccfhn and convei ed to th prison hosoltal, from
where bis remains were subsequently taken by his
li lends and buried beside thoso ol his father in tbo
village cemetery in Maiden.
THE END.
And this is the final end of a matter which has
been discussed in al! classes of the community for
over two yeais. Notwithstanding the shudder
which involuntarily passes over one at the idea of
strangling to death a fellow-man, there are very lew
even among those who knew and associated with.
Green, who would have made a single etrort to do
feut bis execution. Those who have labored so in
dustriously in his behalf arc only thoso who are op
posed to capital pnulsbment iu all cases. In tho
midst 01 ail appeals tor mercy, the terrible enormity
of his crime overcame the sympathy, which
in most cases would have been excited.
There anoear to bo no mitigating circum
stances. He cruollv deprived a young mau of
bis lile in the jov and promise and hope ot his
youth one who bad given him no provocation, who
bad no suspicion 01 danirer hom his presence, but
who lelt in him tbe confidence of neighborly secu
rity. It was such a voung man as this whom Given
hent to bis final account without preparation or
w amine-, and if such a crime has auv extenuation
or palliation it appears to have oeeu the prevailina
wish that it shouid be exercised by the Great For

IMPORTANT TO. '. '
GAS CONSU ME It S.
The equal distribution or gas lrom one source of sup
ply to many points of outlet, extending over a large
area, Involves a greater expense than Is coailstent
with commercial Interests, and the consequence is, tbat
consumers are compelled to submit to the tnconve-
nfonces of over and under supply, or Individually to
apply the remedy.
The head which forces through the supply mains the
necessary amount of iras for consuuwrs, Is called '7ml"
mrs: and is measured by tbe number of tenths of
Inches of water which It will support in a syphon tubs.
Every service pipe that convoys gas from tbe line of a
great main deprives the remaining portion of a certain
amount ot pressure 1 ctoo consequence Is, that when
large amounts of gas are to be easied, tin pressure at
the source of supply and at the terminus Is very
fartrcm equa',so that It is utterly Impossible for gas
companies to furnlrh a supply without a senib'e dlf
fivenca bets-sen the source and the extrem'ty of use,
and the con'cqent wasteful consumption by the cou
suiaara,
There arc two means of remedjlBs this difficulty.
One Is to plaee In the home of each consumer; Qat
h'lldrrot sufficient cspacpy to contain the supply tor a
nl? lit, and allow it to be tilled daring thu day. and then
shut oft from the street pressure, and burn iron the
holder.
The oilier Is to place In each bouse, aloux with the
meter, an Instrument called a ReguUtU r, wnlch only
shall lumlsh the needed amount of gas requirod for each
burner, and with a uniform pressure.
The first would prove expens'i)?, (ffutaiw, and dan
gertvi. The second Is the plan generally adopted, and
of tbe number of devices contrived for this purpose
nearly all have proved lal lures, owing to their use ot
Jlerciirp, or tho Flexible Diuphragm.
Ti e two essential qualities to be attained In an eltl
elcnt Regulator arcs t'lhST. delicacy of adinstnicnt,
with rclcreece to some fixed standard; and Hr.coso,
the ability, within tho Instrument itself, to Increase
the pressure when th greater quantity of gas Is re
qidrcd These qualities, with other peculiar advantages, arc
combined in the Begttlator invented by Dr. C. M.
Cresson. It has been used with great success in Phila
delphia during the past two vcars. a wavs produ dig a
steady liyht, with a saving of from twenty to thirty per
c nt. In the amount of gas consumed.
