THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH -PHILADELPULl, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 18G9. ItOUTWEIX. Th Heel ftarf of ih" Tronnrv Hpcrrh nt llor ' Uetitiuriii I In II. Mr. Boutwell stepped forward, and was received with round after round of cheer. Men sprang pon benches and waved their haU, ladles waved kamlkcrchlefs, and for a few moments the audi ence was almost beside itself. 'When quiet was re stored, Mr. Boutwell said: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentleman: I have not come here to-night to meet you (or tho purpose of making a partisan speech, nor merely because an election Is pending. I know very well how large the interests of the country is in what may be done here in this city and in this Stato. and lu another great Stato of tho I'nion.on Tuesday nextj but, as a mere party issue, I would have left it to the judgment of the people, without Interposing a word myself either for good or for evil. We cannot, however, ho insensiblo to two great considerations, Involved In some degree: but they arc not tho principal considerations Involved In the contest In w hleh you participate. One of those considerations undoubtedly is: Whether the ad ministration, w hich is the successor of an Adminis tration that, as far as the people was concerned, lias 1 ecu tho administration for the eight preced ing years. Khali now be entrusted and jussilledby the voice of a treat people. (Applause).. That is a consideration to which I cannot bo Indifferent. There Is another consideration, which Iris more of a personal character, and that is: Whether the Chief, Magistrate of this Republic a man called in the pressure of the exigency of the struggle for na tional existence from comparative retirement to the command of an army of a million of men, whoso conduct he guided Willi the most consummate skill to a skillful Issue in tho restoration of this govern ment, shall he Indorsed and Justified by the people whom he has loed and served so well. (Applause.) 1'y your voice. In common with the general Jttdg- 1 inciit of your coi.uiiyiuen, you (.'ailed hiai from the greatest military position, which he had earned by liis services, by his devotion, by his patriotism, by his unexampled conduct in the command of your citizen soldiers. It is a matter of some consequence, not to me so much, but to you. to the country, to the world, to posterity, that there should bono shrinking on your .art as to what your voice and your Judgment should bo now. (Applause.) Tlio prtiU-iil' 1'wiiry. This occasion, howevr, is not personal, even to the President of the I'nited .'states, lint I may say hi re, what gentlemen upon this platform would glailly indorse, that in ail tho long years of this nation's life no man has been called to the Chief Magistracy who brought a larger share of patriot j2u, of unselfish devotion to tho public interests, of caiv!;i,y C'l'i-il lo any emergency, either in war or In peace, (Applause.) jnese one generally, '.i.oihprto'"n6f-CPt personal-are great " ,l,Pr V , , ,,' .'.O'.intry ; but they lerations to you and to the . C.,, iUlu A....t.l....n, TOmnaHuin in i.m .him i liii. . hr0U"llt 1110 arc not the considerations which lias.. " hero to-night. It is rather whether now, w... 1 having passed through the struggle for national life, when by tho voice of tin: people the Declara tion of Independence lias been made a living fact (applause) Unit all men arc created equal (ap plause); when the iV of the llepublic waves over every foot of the te; ritory of the Cnion; When jus tice has been everywhere organized into law: whe ther now the people of this country arc faltering in the application of those great principles of jus tice is the only important quest ion which remains for your decision. That consideration is, whether you will so identify yourselves in the judgment von have now given with the policy of the President and his administration as to render it certain that the obligations pecuniary, chiollv, and others also which yon incurred in Hie struggle for national existence shall be faithfully kept. (Applause.) Mo UciuuliatioM of III' !.:. Tt is not so much a question whether the public credits shall be paid, as it is whether forty millions of people have the conscience and the. sentiment of right so Imbedded in them t hit they will do right, even though it were to iheirown hurt, (Ap plause. ) I am aware that there-are differences of opinion in the count ry as to u liet her the public debt should le paid exactly in the mannercontemplated by tic; Administration, and by the men whom you have entrusted with power. Ami 1 may say here in one single sentence, which comprehends, as 1 under stand, the entire policy of the Atlniinstration in regard to the public debt, thai it is to he paid, prin cipal and interest (applause) that it is to be paid principal and interest according to the terms ol tho contract, and in coin, or that which men will re ceive as the equivalent of, coin, w ithout any abate ment whatever. (Applause.) And this not so much though that indeed would be sufficient bo cause they have intrusted their property to this country upon tho pledge given; but because it would develop in forty millions of people such a disregard of right and the principles which under lie individual and public prosperity as to render them tho scorn of the nations through all ages. (Applause). It is not that I plead for men who have taken your i noises. They have their rights, lint it is because you would prove yourselves base and unworthy the character of American citizens if you should hesitate to do what you have pro mised to do. (Applause.) 1 am awaro that there are thoso who go into an inquiry as to whether the public creditors shall re ceive dollar for dollar equal to the amount of the obligations. There are those who institute inquiry as to' whether the interest already paid is not suffi cient to sctisfy the public obligation, and justify us in compelling the bondholders lo release the evi dence of the obligation. There arc others who pro pose to pay the principal and discredit the interest, well, my fellow-citizens, all these are snares and delusions: they are schemes. 'There is but one way out of the iliiileulty. if you please to call it a difficulty ; but as I will 'have occasion to show you, not a very great difficulty. Hut there is one wav, the way which tho honest merchant uses, and that is to meet his obligations manfully and tu fill till them to the last cent, if he has the ability. (Ap plause. ) Some have suggested to us that we should pay these obligations in other promises not bearing in terestgreenbacks, L'niteu Males Treasury notes. AVell, the answer to all that is. gentlemen, do you propose to pay the Treasury notes, the greenbacks, that you issue in payment for bonds lfs , in what? Certainly In nothing hut. coin. The sub stitution of one promise lo pay for another promise lo pay is not a liquidation of tho obligation you have made. Ilranlta of IteiMKlhtf ioii. Have they considered, also, how detrimental this policy is, as every wrong policy always must be detrimental, even to those who deleu'd and main, tain it' Have tley considered that, the wholo banking system of tin; country Is based upon these promises of the Government of the L'nited States. Have they considered that the saving institu tions are tilled with these obligations of the Na tional government ; and that when you invalidate and repudiatelheseoliligations.it is not wealthy men alone that suflei".' The evil extends to every laborer, and to every hearthstone in the country. The moment the greenback or the Treasury note is invalidated, or its value diminished by the over issue, is it the rich men alone who sillier, or is it not rather poor men. who are feebly able to shoulder the loss? Jtich men are generally men of sagacity : at least, they have credit for the possession of sin average share of that quality. The moment they see tho government is.ue a thousand or two thousand millions of greenbacks, which thev are compelled lo receive in exchange for the other notes, or for tho government bonds, what would they do? They would go IntoMhe markets of tho country, purchase real estate, ships, houses, lands, flour, wheat, everything which had the color of property '.n it: and the worthless and depreciated currency of t lie country would be left in the hands of the laboring people of the country. I would say ami I suppose 1 address here in this city a mass of laboring men there never was a more insi dious and dangerous delusion submitted to the laboring people of this country than that there is anv safe way for them, except to maintain the doctrine that tho public debt is to be honestly paid. (Applause.) ll nicy givn mow uies ami their countenance to the opposite theory, that by anv scheme, or trick, or plan, they can escape tho obligation that rests upon them, depend upon lb the weight of the evil will fall very largely upon thclll. Tje Wenj,, r ,e itimlry. Now, gentlemen, is that debt so large that the neoi.le of this country ought to shrink: from in resence? It is large In figures, ft is two thou sand tivo hundred millions of dollars two tlmu sand one hundred millions bearing interest. Hut is it a debt from which the people of this country ought to shrink ? 1 venture the ussertion that it is not" that it is a less debt lu proportion to popula K u ni id p ropVrty than the debt of the it''volutiou, which our fathers did not hesitate manfully to as Mine ami honestly to pay. (Applause ) fn the ve -Hid tho United States owed sevcnty-Bvo n i -lions ol 'dollars funded debt. In ltsoi, when Mr. Jencrsont ktlie Presidential office it had risen to eighty-three millions. We were then a people irT iiwe than three millions in numbers. VVo i Sve iio estlinatesof the value of the property of Ihe couulry, m it probably vm mi jiwretfuui one fiftieth ns much as It is to day. Three million"! W people, and a debt of a hundred millions of dol lars: properly to the amount of one thousand or two thou nnd millions or dollars. To day we are forty millions strong; we have an accumulated wealth in this country of not less than tifty thou sand millions of dollars. (Applause.) Ibiring Mr. Jelterson's eight years or oiiiee, the public debt was reduced from cightv-thrce to tUty-seveu millions a reduction of twenty six million of dol lars in a period of eight yeai s a service for which he received and for which he deserved the thanks of tills, oniilry. Assuming- the property of the country now at fifty thousand millions of dollars, and the property of the country at the commence ment of this century at two thousand millions of dollars, and the debt of to day is much lesstlian the debt of jSot. (Applause.) Consider, also, that the capacity of the people to pay the debt is Im mensely increased bv the introduction of labor saving machinery. The productive power of one man in this country for the purpose of creating wealth Is at least four times as great as the pro ductive power of a man at the commencement of this century. Consider, also, that the w:y;esof labor, tho profits of business, and the accumula tions of wealth are at least four times as great in this year as they were at the commencement of this century. Consider all these facts together, and the public debt to dav dwarfs in comparison witli the public debt which was assumed by tho nation when It came out of the colonial existence into the supreme majesty of tho nation. (Ap plause.) How to I'eitooiii (lie lcl. Cur capacity for paying the debt which remains, may be measured ami estimated by considering what we have done. If none of tlio public debt had been paid from l-SO.! to the present time the funded dbt of the eountiy would not have been less than three thousand two hundred millions of dollars, In addition to the three, hundred and filty six millions of I'nited Stales notes in cir culation. Put by the system of taxation which has existed which lias, at times, undoubt edly hoi in: heavily upon the people this debt has been reduced several hundred millions of dollars. Abd if, lu these six vears, exhausted as we were by the war, we have been able to pay twenty-five or thii tv-three per cent, of t lie public debt, are we to hesitate now. Willi a population constantly augmenting, and wiih a valuation continually Increasing'.' Willi tho 'ca pacity of the people to produce wealth accelerated In a great degree, are we to hesitate as lo w liat our course is to be for the next few years? ll wo were to pay a hundred millions of dollars a voar which we can pay if the present svtem of taxa- it'll be permitted to remain, the public debt will le extinguished in less than fourteen vears. (Ap plause.) It' we pay liltV millions a year, which wo can pay, and annually reduce taxation, the in t crest bearing public debt w ill bo extinguished in al out twenty-two years. And if we pay but two ut v six millions a year, and reduce taxation, as we may, to a very large deguii:, the interest bearing debt will be extinguished in about tliiilv-two years. ( Applause.) The astonishment, gentlemen, is that under these circumstances there should be any question? in this country, among any class of people, as to what the policy oltho country should be. There ought to be no question. A Low or Kale of lnloi osl. Put I come, gentlemen, to call your attention to a feature of the controversy in which vour are inti mately concerned, and that is this: We aro now paying on the larger part of this debt, six per cent, interest. The events of the last six or seven ji:onrns. (icmol)siiaiiiig inn anility ami the dispose .. ."( the people of this country to pay its debt, ,..o not oniv 'uoljable. but. in my opin- has rendered ' "l "0 . edily ret and so much en, ceriain, mai we vn i - ;, , ; V V of this debt as we deJi'C to MOd. at a late of in tcrest not exeeedi notour and u-imu.P' ". t-i- people who pay the taxes, from eight... . lu l" '..ii live millions a year. And that is the praciic... question involved in this election : and it is pre cisely that point which r desire to impress upon you, as it Is the consideration which induced me to come here. The credit of this nation is duo to the disposition and the ability of the ncopiM lo respond to all the obligations that have I ecu assumed. The world has no doubt of our ability. When they consider the extent of our lerritarv: the salubrity and va riety of our climate; the fertility of our soil; the unceasing capacity id our mines to contribute to the wealth of the country and of the world, they can never doubt as to our ability to pay our debts. If, then, your credit in the markets of the world is depreciated to the extent of one per cent, as com pared with the credit of the most favored nation upon the globe, that depreciation is duo to tho want of faith in your disposition to pay your debts. And just in proportion as you furnish evidence of your indisposition lo pay your debts, just exactly in that proportion will the depreciation of your credit continue. (Applause.) You come to tho consideration of this question here, and to-night. It is for the people of Pennsylvania and of Ouio, and of the I'nion, to say wheiher, by your votes, von will indicate lo the world that there is no iloubt about your disposition to pay these debts. (Applause.) 't hese are the pracliea considerations to be pre Kcnlid to practical men. If you intend to repudiate thc-e debts, then say so, and follow this by tho power which you have to get rid of tho interest and principal together. If you do not intend to nj. pudiate them, then your duly, as well :i3 your inte rest, is to declare unitedly and with emphasis tho debt is to be paid. Create conMdenco in tho world that you are ready and willing to assume all your obligations, and have the advantage of the reduced rate of interest growing out of, the increased confi dence of the world in your determination. 1 will spend a few moments further, gcutlemcn, to enforce this idea by show in;; you what lias been recently done. Within the last si or seven months we have paid fifty-six millionsof dollars of the pub lic debt. (Applause.) Tho credit is due to the country. The President desired an economical, honest administration, lie desired that honest men should be appointed to places of public trust, especially in the collection of the revenues. When we have thus paid fifty-six millionsof the public debt since March hist, are we, in the presence of that fact, to shrink from wluit is before- us? of all the means calculated to Injure public cre dit ami to render taxation unnecessarily odious, there Is nothing more efficient than to intrust tho collection of the revenues to dishonest men, who, having exacted from the tax-payers what was due the government, appropriated it to themselves. It cannot happen in a country so vast as t His, that honest men can always no secured, but 1 know that the President of tho United States desires more than anything else, that nobody shall be put in oliico or retain any ohlcc unless, in the performance of his duties, he acts according to the laws. Y'ou have paid lilty-six millions of the public debt since the 1st of March last. Shall we. in the presence of that fact, shrink from what is before us? To bo sure, there is taxation, but it is not grievous taxation, and more than that, it can bo gradually, year by year, diminished. The burdens, whether heavy or light, can be gradually removed from the people. I thought it might not be uninteresting, although the facts arc very well known, to state how far tho revenues and proceeds of taxation hear heavily upon the people. Puling the last year from dis tilled spirits, and the manufacture and traffic in distilled spirits, wine and every kind of liquors, there was derived a revenue of forty-four millions ot dollars: from tobacco, manufactured, twou-ty-threo millions of dollars more. Hero aro nearly seventy millions of dollars which. I suppose, in the judgment of most of us. is not unnecessarily heavy. Then about six millions from taxes on fer mented liquors; we get six millions from trans portation of merchandise through the country, which should be removed as soon as the condition of the Public Treasury will permit. TJiere aro nix millions more from tho sales of merchandise from the incomo tax, thirty-four millions from stamps, ami lifteen millions from other and smaller items, sufficient to make an aggregate of one iiundredand fifty-eight millions ol dollars. 'i his system of taxation can bo changed so as to relieve the burden of taxation from the mass of tho people. A greater amount of the internal revenue is derived either from tho luxuries of life or from taxes on people w ho are able to pay, and tho bur den upon the laboring people of the country is, alter all, very small. Put f must say that no system of taxation is desired that does not look to a larger taxation upon luxuries or upon accumu Uttcd property, thus relieving tho labor ami the ordinary business of life to as largo a degreo as possible. linn Hie Debt Han Item Itelneel. I desire to call your attention to tho manner of the application of the revenues of the country to the payment of the public debt. The public debt of tlio country presents itself in three forms bonds issued by government, payable at a time in the future, and bearing interest, most of them at six per cent , and a small proportion of tliein at five per cent. ; the currency of tho country, known as greenbacks, used for circulation, and Issued by government without interest. Then there are outstanding fifty millions of three per cent, certiil cates, interest and principle payable on demand and in currency. When ilio Secretary of tlio Treasury found him self in possession of five, ten or fifteen millions of surplus funds he would appropriate it to tho nay. nicntof one or tho other of these forms of indebt edness, ity the law of Congress he was prohibited from diminishing the amount ot greenbacks below three hundred and fifty-six millions. That was tho amount issued when he came Into the Treasury De partment, ami that amount lias under the law been continued substantially the same. Therefore, lie could not, without violating the law, rddeeni and cancel the circulating medium of the country, what ever his opinion might lo. Then there are fifty juillious ot Have Per wuts. held by tUe pftuli. 'J-'Ucy snswer, to a certain extent, the office of currency. Tlicy were held closly by the banks and would not be given i.p except, upon some sort of pressure. The Secretary of the Treasury did not avail himself of the liberty to employ this pres sure, even if It were in his power to do so; but, moreover, he felt that it was, to soino extent a (! pal t nre from the law of Congress by which he was required to nlloiv the volume of cur rency to iciiiaiu as it was when he entered offieco. Therefore, there seemed only the courso which has been pin sued to purchase six" per cent, bonds at too market price. And tins Is a statement not by way of explanation, but a statement of the reason which contiolled the Administration in tho application of the surplus (und, applicable to the payment of the public debt. An Argument to the Workingiticn. Now, gentlemen, In leaving 1 wish to address a few words to the laboring people, because I see there is a disposition to divert their attention from the real issues before the country, and to lead them to a course of action prejudicial to their own wel fare and the welfare of the class to which they lie long. It is eminently true that the laboring classes in a country like this can profit, bv nothing except justice. (Applause.) There may be other classes of men who, from position or from wealth, or from other surroundings, may gain temporary advantages over their fellow men by a system of injustice and wrong; but the man who labors with his own hands to maintain a family bv the sweat of his own brow is interested in nothing so much as Justice. Tor how can he ask justice of the officers of the government, of Ills fellow men, if he desires lustice in the performance of the duties that devolve upon him. lis Interest is in wise laws, honestly administered by faithful public ser vant'", who do their dutv under nil circumstances; and above all, it is his Interest in laving a lirm and deep foundation of the government under the uni versal system of publie instruction. (Applause.) And. my friends, so long as in Pennsylvania and in New Mi. gland, the great vallevof the Mississippi. and upon the slopes ol the Pacific, snail be and remain the system of public Instruction supported at the public expense, unto which are brought for educa tion the children of the rich and of the poor, where justice Is taught as the supreme law of individuals and public life. This nation will remain. Il will prosper. It w ill advance. ( Aoplause. ) It will bo the guide ty the nations of the 'earth, and if in the performance of this duty we falter there is no se curity. It is only by general intelligence, by in dividual virtue, aggregated and made powerful, that the government with tlio rights of the people can be secure. Laboring men, sec that in your city, in your town, in your district, the means of education are furnished to your children and t lie children of the whole people. Inculcate justice, recognize the great doctrines of independence, not some, but all men are created equal. (Applause.) Jtecoguizo and act upon these great principles and nothing can shake your government. ( Applause. ) .Neither the repose of peace can weaken nor tho shock of war disturb it. It is more powerful in tho intelligence and virtue of tho people than any other notion can be, cither in the capacity of the heredi tary nobility or in the integrity even of the mo narch. Jtule, laboring men, tlio laud in which you dwell, but rule under principles of virtue, guided by intelligence. (Cheers.) GENERALITIES. Ze Horrible Alligator. ' The town of Alton, Illinois, has recently been thrown from its balance by the hooking of a gigauti j tlsh 'xf tlio alligator species." ilo was V leet 5 inches from head to tall, 4 feet In circumference, and weighed liio pounds.

Huxley on Cnniilliriliini. Trofcssor Huxley has expressed an opinion that in the earliest ages of the world the Hr.it. impulse of man wus not to love his neighbor, but to eat him; and at a recent meeting-of the Arctueologleal Society of Copenhagen the Havana assembled from all par.s of Europe, Including such well-known names as Worsnae, llildcbraud, and the celebrated isctjtluii professor, M. ISprlcjr, unanimously agreed Hint can iiibulism prevailed uiiiong the primitive inhabitants of the globe. On one point, however, opinions un divided, some holding that mau-eatlng was a matter of taste, w hile others aro inclined to look on it as a religious, or rather superstitious, observance.

A New Orleans despatch to the Louisville Cou'rhr. Journal hun a story of a counterplot in Cuba, or a plot within a plot, whose purport is that certain wealthy Cubans in the island, opposed to Insurrec tion, ure about to unite with the resldeut Spaniards in a "struggle for independence." The curious pait of the story is that "General Kobert K Lee was re vived upon for President of the Itepublio of Cuba, and tho position ottered hlin for ten years." We are further assured that "the documents offering General Lee the- position of President have been forwarded to him." Perhaps this may be fairly ranged with tlio many Indications of tho connection of restless ex-Confederutes with Cuban ailuirs. The high position of General Jordan (formerly licauregard's Chief of Stall ) In the Cuban army ; the number of ex-Coiiioderalo officers light ing with him ; the successful recruiting for Cuba m the south ; the lurgo proportion of 4-Couf uderato officers on the Hnrnet-thcse and similar clrcnm Mfliices show that the Cuban forurs from our shores nre In part the vent or a restless Southern military spirit, even s tlio Canaduin raids of the Fenians were in good pnrt the vent of the restless military spirit of Irish volunteers who had served iu the I niun army.

If the candi date for naturalization rerused to answer ques tions on this subject, the T?h;jraph complains it was immediately assumed that hi? was guilty, and iiHtiiiuUzatlon papers were refused him. The assumption that a Mormon practises or encourages poljgamy is not n vcrv violent one, Slid the only question Is as to I no rlght'of the Judges to refuse naturalization on this ground. The law requires, In addition to other conditions, that the candidate shall show to the satisfaction of tho Judges "that ho bus behaved as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and hap piness of the same. The Mormon, who sets the law at deilaiiee, and sustains others in doing It, cannot stand this test, and cannot complain that he is wronged by exclusion from cltl.cnshlp. Whether the Judges have the authority to apply this testis another question, but it Is a just and proper test. I.nvvlrHHiiCHS in liHHUtdpiil. The Vickbburg Times of September '21 contains the following: "We met yesterclav iu this city Mr. Chandler, of Issaquena county, who is on the way to Jackson to obtain from General Ames military protection for the hiw-ahiiKng citizens of his county, lie informs us that the negroes in that section are eoudiictlmr themselves in a most outrageous and lawless manner. About six weeks ago, lie siys, a negro magistrate sent a posse to arrest two citizens, Messrs. Hobcrtson and Pope, who had a personal difficulty. About twenty-live or thirty, armed with' double-mrrel shot guns, proceeded to make the arrest. Hicy fiirostedeight men. some of whom they tied upon their horses, anil with cocked and pre sented guns marched them to the county site. "Mr. Chandler says that the party tired into his residence, where there was a ladv, and behaved themselves otherwise In a most insulting manner. Last week one hundred and fifty or two hundred, armed, met and declared they would kill every man on Deer Creek, or drive them away. Mr. Chandler represents the crops as very good, but it is impossi ble, in the present unsettled condition of ail'airs, to have them properly attended to. The reports from Sunflower represent ulniost as bad a suite of affairs as in Issaquena." " Welllkce" Dead Heads. Fi tm the San 1'rancim-a Chroniele. Our reporter happened to be standing at, the door of the Chinese Theatre a few evenings since, look ing at tho visitors to the establishment, n; thev tiled in. Three well dressed, fushlonnhlti youths present ed themselves at the door and with a well-assumed air Of Inmvtiunce proceeded to walk In. The Celestial doorkeeper demanded the enstoraarv entrance fee, but was iuionned with a lofty air that the gentlemen were representatives of the press, und entitled to admission without the absurd preli minary of paving anything. The Celestial could not, understand it, and called lo his assistance another gentleman who spoke Kngllsh with more facility than himself. Ho asked on what grounds the three gentlemen presumed to enter on the tree list. The spokesman at once replied : "Why, we are members of the press. I represent the Chicago JjlaMer, this gentleman the Keening 1.o:m Punt, und this the Mew York Daily Turnip vre want to visit your place." The Celestial, completely dumb-founded at tho array of powerful journals thus brought before his bewildered gaze, ill the persons ol these gay hum bugs, hewed to the earth, and led tliein in w'ith the greatest politeness to a proniiueut place in the theatre. A New Jns Speinff. Professor S. A. King, the n'ronauf, recently visited in West Ploonitield, Ontario, N. V., a natural gas spring, "or rnther," as he says, "the ilow of natural gas generated iu the bowels of the earth, ami escap ing through a vent made by sinking a Wtll ftill) feet in depth, in the hope of finding oil." The pipe through which the gas escapes Is live Inches in diameter, unit the gas rushes out of it at the rate of at least ld.oiio tect un hour. He made some tests o'f the gas.uiid found It to be a rich curouretted hydrogen, bearing with it us it issues from tho opening a quantity of vapor of petroleum. In this state It Is tw ice as deii.su as coal gas, and consequently will lift but hull as much it' used lor ballooning purposes. To ovoid the disagreeable ellect of the escaping gits, it is kept burning almost constantly as It Issues lrom the pipe, some ten feet from th ground, but there is a pipe Inserted lower down from which a. supply of gas i.s carried Into a building near by. Uy way of experiment, Professor King tilled u small paper bal loon of about 12 leet capacity, inside the building, with the gas. The bnlloou was then passed out of a window, and as soon lis It was let loose it was caught by a current of air mi l blown directly towards the lltiine of the burning gas, upon which it danced and turned over and over for a number of seeouds, and finally escaped without taking lire, and wus soon out of sixhl In a cloud, FINANCIAL.
