Sierra Leone is Buffering from a plethora
of educational establishments. In a report
drawn up by Mr. J. S. Laune on the state of
education iii the "West African settlements, it
nppears that in Sierra Leono alone thore are
no less than ninety-live elementary schools.

1 luring the past six months the emigra

ing June there sailed from the port of Liver
pool .v; ships, with SH'Xi passengers (under

Scotch, ::'.' Trish. nnd S7H"- foreigners. Of
the ships, L'7 sailed to the United States, with
S.:!1! passengers, of whom were Eng

r,:V passengers, ot whom L'is:i were English,

following vessels sailed not under the act:
To the United Ktu'es, ft ships, with :'.:;7 pas

1'.L'7, making a total of 7, 1 1 1, which, when
compared with the same quarter of last year,

The reported determination of the Trus
piau Government not to renew the convention
with Russia for the extradition of political
offenders has given rise to much hostile com
ment in the liussiuu press. This famous con
vention, which created so much indignation
in Europe in lSii:'., has repeatedly been made
the subject- of interpellations from liberal de
puties in the Prussian Chamber, and it is now
generally understood that when the period
for which it was made expires, which will be
in a few months, Count JJismark will allow it
to lapso altogether. The Russian papers point
out that this is ono of the many disadvan
tages for Russia created by the events of ISiKi;
and that the independent tone which has
einee then been assumed by the Rorlin Cabi
net, and esneeiallv bv Count Rismark, shows
that Prussia, instead of being a sure ally, as
formerly, may now become on occasion even
a formidable enemy. They add that the con
vention is one of the most important guaran
tees of the preservation of peace in Poland,
nnd accordingly urge their Government at
once to open negotiations for its renweal.
Mr. C. l' Valley, tho English electrician,
tan just written a letter containing some re
markable oimervatioiis on spiritualism, in
which he is a devout lolievor. The "pre
sence of people with very active iniuds
weakens or destroys tho power" of tho spirits.
"We are not much surprised at this, nor that
"the spiritual beings who produce tho physi
cal phenomena seem in almost all cases to be
very limited in intelligence, generally more
bo than any of the human beings pre
sent," which is saying not a little. "Tho pro
cons of dying," we are further informed,
"does not neein to add to tho intelligence of
ftn individual;" superstition seems to reign on
tho other side of tho grave as much as
on tliis, and nppears to be as
difficult to eradicate as here." Moreover, "u
sudden and violent death is very prejudicial
to an individual in the next life," in, iking him
very brutalized and malicious. This supplies
Mr. Varley with a cogent argument against
capital punishment, "because when a crimi
nal of tho lowest typo is executed, the low
ness of his type, added to his violent death,
makes him a spirit nearly material in nature;
such beings seem to derive great pleasure in
doing mischief." As to the practical value
of communications from spirit land, one
would like to ask Mr. Varley whether, if any
thing went wrong with the French Atlantic
cable, in the laying of which ho has been en
gaged, he would apply to the spirits to tell
him where tho hitch was, and lunv to retirnly
it, instead of following tho regular seientilic
processes.
The Scotch Free Church and the Scotch
United Presbyterian Church seem inclined to
lunalgamnte, thus becoming the strongest re
ligious body in Scotland. Tho clergy of the
Establishment, alarmed at this, are disposed
to request tho Free Church to return, and to
facilitate negotiation, wish to abolish tho
grievance on which the Free Church seceded
the right of patronage. They propose that
the ministers should bo elected by tho eom
Jnunicants and land-owners together; that is,
in fact, by the communicants, for the "heri
tors" would be swamped, and, unless commu
nicants, would retire. There are no grave
difficulties as to property, for the patronage is
worth little; is not given, as in England, to
landlords' relatives, nnd cannot bo sold, ex
cept with the land ; while the communicants
have already a right of objecting to any
presentation, which they use, we are bound
to add, with a most worldly contempt for
scruples.
The fresh disaster with nitro-glycerine
which has occurred in Wales ought finally to
determine the fate of that substunoo. Atten
tion has f reipieutly been called to the horribly
dangerous character of this material, and
from time to time this character has asserted
itself veiy emphatically by occasioning some
disaster more or less considerable. With the
destruction of the steamship European at
Colon a few years ago, and tho more recent
Newcastle explosion, most persons are
familiar; hut numerous and very serious acci
dents have taken place in other countries
re hUle known, although they have
led to the absolute prohibition of the use of
nitro-glycerine iu UeMuiu ftnd Sweden. The
f act is that the material is far too sensitively
dangerous to be employed as an article of
commerce. Not merely i it ljUI,i0 to spon
taneous explosion, but it iH readily sus-
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
being a liquid, it is peculiarly apt to be
Bpilt and accidentally exploded. And then,
when it does go off, 'the effects (because of
that very quality which chiefly reootumends
it to tho miner its enormous explosive
power) are far more terrific than they would
be with the same quantity of gunpowder,
while gun-cotton, under the same circum
stances, would not explode at nil, but merely
burn. It is impossible to render an artielo of
this character safe for use by any legislative
restrictions. There is nothing for it, we be
lieve, but to prohibit nitro-glycerine alto
gether, except, perhaps, in small quantities
tor scientific and chemical purposes. There
need bo tho less hesitation about doing this,
since tho only important use of nitro
glycerine is for mining purposes; and
the recent improvements and discove
ries in gun-cotton establish that this mate
rial may be not only safely used and
transported nay. that, if desired, it
may even bo stored damp, and dried when re
quired for use, but !hat when fired by means
of a detonating fuse, instead of by simple in
ilammation, it assumes a new character, so to
spenk, nnd develops an explosive force so in
tense that ns a disiiij.tivo agent it is quite on
a par with nitro-g! cerine. These facts are
perfectly well kno w n to chemists, and to all
who have interest. d themselves in theso sub

One of the nio.-.t remarkable works now
going on in London is tho construction of a
second Thames Tur. el. Rut so great is the
advance which has been made in engineering
since tho days of Sir Isambard Drunel, that
no ono takes much interest in this work.
Hitherto it has progressed most satis
factorily. The gio.indhas turned out to be
firm clay, and so impermeable is it, so dry is
tho tunnel, that the water used by the masons
in erecting tho bri'-i: work has to be brought
to them. The " 1 iwer-Subway," as it is
called, is being com !eted at tho rate of nine
feet a day. and will l.o an iinniruse conveni

A good deal used to be said about apply
ing explosive bombs in tho whale fishery; but
actual trials have shown tho plan to be a
failure. Tho explosion of a bomb, if attached
to tho harpoon, simply destroys tho flesh in
its neighborhood, and hence also the hold on
the fish which is often thus lost, and uselessly
killed. From various causes, amongst which
are, no doubt, the general use of gas for
lighting, and tho discovery of petroleum, the
whale tishery has rather languished of late
years, nnd it probably requires a stimulus
such as would bo afforded by diminishing its
well-known dangers. Whether this object
would bo obtained by a curious proposal sub
milted to the Society of Civil aud Mechanical
Engineers by Mr. II. J. Rogers, only actual
trial could show; but we understand that the
project is partly brought forward by prnctienl
whale Ushers. A galvanic battery is placed
in the whaling boat with a powerful induc
tion coil in communication. From the. termi
nals of the battery two insulated wires
pass as conductors through a lino of tho size
ordinarily used to the harpoon, which is made
w it h two heads, separated from each other,
each insulated wire passing through the har
poon to tho points where they terminate. The
handle of the hnrpoon is of course insulated.
In this harpoon the circuit would be complete
whin it struck tho whale. According to
another plan, one insulating wire passes from
one terminal through the rope to the end of a
harpoon having one point only, the other in
sulated wire hanging in tho water, and acting
ns n menus for tho return current. Tho ex
periments have been tried on eels and other
small tish without perforating the skin, the
two wires from the poles of the battery being
simply directed in close proximity to each
other towards the fish, or ono wire at the head
nnd the other nt the tail, and the eff ect has
been to produce rigidity and complete tempo
rary pnrnlysis, the eel nnd tho other lish np
penring perfectly lifeless during, aud even
after, the period of contact.

The Legislative Hody held a sitting on the
K'.th, M. Schneider in the chair. The bench
of tho Ministers was empty. There was not
a place unoccupied in the ranks of the Left.
On the minutes of the previous sitting being
brought forward.
M. Jules Favre rose and said: Gentlemen:
We yesterday heard a document road which
might be differently judged of by each one
amongst us. Rut, at least in form, it seemed
to promise to this Chamber the restitution of
the liberties which belong to it by right
'1 he President Excuse me, M. Jules Favre.
M. Jules Favre And which have hitherto
been refused it.
Hie President Monsieur Jules Favre, by
tho terms of the constitution and of tho regu
lations, no discussion of any sort can take
place on the occasion of a message from tho
Emperor. (Assent on a great number of
benches. Denial on the Left.)
M. Jules Favre I am explaining my views
on the minutes.
The President I cannot allow you to con
tinue on this subject. (Renewed approba
tion; continued noise. )
M. Jules Favre, raising his voice to domi
nate tho noise I ascended this tribune to pro
test agninst an act which is the most, formal
contradiction to the message we heard yester
day. Tho step to which I allude is not only
an impropriety an infringement of tho dig
nity of the Chamber, but still more a f uneste
measure. (Violent exclamations in many
parts, f treat applause on the Left.)
The President Monsieur Jules Favre, 1
call you to order ! (Approbation on many
benches. Noisy exclamations on tho Left.)
M. Jules Favre an,i ono which
shows the profound impuissanco of personal
power (Noise and increasing agi
tation Cries of "Order, order." Applause
on the Left.)
The President Monsieur Jules Favre, 1
again call you to order! (Exclamations on
the Left Approbation in the other parts of
tho Chamber.)
M. Jules Favre I can only pity those
amongst you, gentlemen, who do not feel
yourselves wounded. (Murmurs from various
benches.) Tho country will judge us all.
(Renewed exclamations.) Yes, gentlemen,
the people asked to be enlightened; it desired
to be reassured. Our discussions are post
poned: tho public anxiety is prolonged; I re
peat, the nation will judge us. (Loud cheer
ing on tho Left Agitation.)
Tho President I ennnot allow you to con
tinue, nnd I remind you I have twice called
you to order.
(M. Jules Favre returned to his seat and
received the congratulations of his colleagues
of the Left.)
M. Jules Favre (from his place and in tho
midst of the noise) The operations are not
concluded, tho Legislative Hody is not con
stituted. (Noise.) A largo number
of elections arc not validated. Such a pro
ceeding has never been recorded in history;
wo are subjected to humiliation. (Increasing
noise and cries of "Order! order!") Personal
power is condemned ! It will not survive this
event ! Such is my conviction. (Agitation
nnd confusion. )
The President I am astonished that it
should be the day after a grand act, one en
sentially liberal
Rome voices on the Left Oh, oh !
Numerous others Yes, yoH !
The President that such protests
should bo raised in this place. Not only are
they contrary to the regulations, but they
are still more so to tho sentiment of the
whole of France. ("True, true." Loud
cheers. )
M. E. Pelletan This is n policy of intrigue,
not of principle.
The President Are any further observa
tions to bo made on the minutes ?
M. Givault I wish to speak, bat not on
political matters.
The President Speak.
M. Girault Fifty-rive members, of whom I
am one, nre about to find themselves in a state
of incertitude for an indefinite period, con
trary to every species of right, and particu
larly to that which their constituent huve to
be represented;
Several voices True ! true !
M. Estnncelin At tho opening of this ses
sion the Government told us that we were
summoned for the verification of powers, nnd
we are about to disperse without having
achieved that task.
Count de Keratry The prorogation is a dis
solution by anticipation !
The President I am glad that M. Girault
has ngam furnished me with an occasion to
repeat to the Chamber and the country what
has been several times stated, and coufirmeil
by a vote of the Assembly; that is to say,
that the postponement of the examination of
certain elections iu no way furnishes any pre
nnniptmu giiiv ikvtr being ulmiW)lv yaJj,
dated. I may state that there are some re
turns which have not been reported, and in
reference to which the bureau has voted
nnnnimously in favor of their validity.
(Hear, hear.) As to some others, no opinion
can be justly formed, as the papers have not
yet been examined. On theso various
grounds, I protest beforehand against any
unpleasant feeling which might bo produced
here or elsewhere relative to the position of
colleagues whoso powers have not yet boon
verified. I declare once more thnt they have
really tho quality of deputies first, because
they have been elected, and nfterwards, bo
cause a decision of tho Chamber authorizes
them to tnke pnrt in tho votes. Retween
those who have been admitted and those who
have not, therefore, only a question of pro
cedure eistp, which has not as yet been ex
amined. M. Pelletan There is evidently a differ
ence between the situation of the Deputies
whoso powers hnve been validated, who have
taken the oaths and have been admitted, nnd
thnt of those whoso elections hnve been veri
fied. Is a proof desired ' When tho elec
tions of fifty-five Deputies had not been con
lirmrd, the Chamber, not being constituted,
could not commence the great discussions,
under pain of forming a majority duo to a
surprise. In that si.ua'ion, which was an
infraction of the regulations, we asked that
the fifty-live members should bo allowed to
Duron Je rome David It was not you who
made the roposnl !
M. Pelletan Tho Chamber consented to it.
M. Jules Simon Not all the members.
M. Pelletan May be. Rut, in tino, the
Deputies in question do not possess the pleni
tude of tho powers of a representative, as pos
sibly tho elections of some of them may not
be maintained. There is consequently a fear
thnt the suspicion which weighs on some may
nttnch to nil those whose powers aro notns yet
verified. Yet it is in that situation, when the
Legislative Rody is not yet completed, thnt the
Chamber is prorogued, even before we have
been able to sit! The precedent is a do
plorablo one. We ought to have at least
been ablo to complete the verification of
powers. I, therefore, deeply regret this mea
sure. (Movements iu opposite senses.)
The minutes were then adopted.
The President then rend the decree pub
lished in the official journal, and declared the
sitting at nn end. The Deputies separated iu
the midst of considerable agitation.

This is an entirely new heater. It is so oonstrnoted
as to onoe commend itself to general faror, being a combi
nation of wrought aud oast Iron. It is very simple in ite
oontitrnction, and is perfectly air-tight ; self-cleaning, hav
ing no pipes or drams to be taken out and cleaned. It la
so arrauged with upright Hues as to produce larger
amount oi heat from the same weight of coal than any far
Dace now in use. The hygrouietrio condition of the air aa
produced by my new arrangement of evaporation will at
onoe demonstrate that it is the only Hot Air Furnace that
will produce a perfectly healthy atmosphere. ua
