Senator Sumner and Senator Mor
ton have each presented plans for a
change iu the method of choosing the
President of the United States. Mr.
Sumucr proposes a tadical change to
an election by popular vote of the
whole country, thus abolishing State
lines so far as the National Kxecutive
is concerned, and abolishing the
office of Vice-President altogi ther.
According to Mr. Morton's prop
osition, each State is to have a num
ber of votes equal to the number ot
Congressional districts it contains,
which it casta according to the voice
of the several districts, in-tuad ot
casting one vo'.c, determined by the
majority of the people of the
State.
Either of these plaus is preferable
to the presaut mode and that |-<t
Senator Mortou is certainly to Vie
preferred to the electoral system we
now have.
Londou is noted for the dense fogs
that happeu there at times. Oue of
these visitar* set in there on Oih inst,
of which the dispatch says: the fog has
increased to a density which is satd to
be almost without a precedent. It U
impossible to lran*act business, and
all traffic has ceased. The streets
are filled with men aud boy* hearing
torches to light pedestrians on their
way. At 2 o'clock iu the afternoon
it was dark as night.
On the 11th iust, Mr. Suiuner
called up the bill introduced by him
the first day of the sessmn tor a
substitute one of compound iuterest
for legal tender notes, etc., and
addressed the Senate in fhvor thereof.
He said he was for specie payment
at the earliest day aud would sup
port any measure to securethat eud.
lufiation was death to business.
Contraction was the proper remedy.
The bill he offered received euoour
agement from prominent fiuauciers
and business men. It ha 1 beeu
approved by the Boston Board <i
Trade, aud leading newspapers of the
east and west. The substitution
proposed by his bill was the nature
of contraction, but without taking
a dollar from the people. The pres< nt
disordered currency owed its origin
to Congress. The exigency of war
* has ceased, and Congress should
improve its financial condition. The
bill was referred to the Finance Com
mittee.
Speaker Blaine.
Credit mobilier and ealarygrub
congressmen were not made to take a
back seal, the World i-ays Speaker
Blaine's appointment of salarygrab
bers and the Credit Mobilierists to the
foremost places on the leading com
mittees of the Forty-third Congress is
the most brazen defiance of public
sentiment of which any Republican
has thus far been guilty. Even
President Grant's SIOO/00 signature
was less defiant, for the storm of gen
eral indignation had hardly ariseu
when he made that bill the law of
the land. President Grant's apj>oiiit
ment of C. M. and S. G. John A.
Bingham as Minister to Japan was
certainly a very audacious defiance
of public sentiment, but Speaker
Blaine gives the practical control of
the law-making department of the
federal Government completely into
the hands of the greedy and venal
crew, and to one of the worst of thetu
Dawes of Massachusetts, he commits
the antral leadership of the llou*c of
Bepresentives. Mr. Blaiue's own
coficealed record, it is true, may have
been in no condition for him tc>
make Credit Mobilier venality a bar
to promotion at his hands. But
whether as a Credit Mobilierist, or a>
a defender aud promoter of Credit
Mobilierist-, "he is equally a very
dead cock in a very dirtv pit.
Mr. Stephens on the Salary Grab
Almost every member of congress
has a bill to repeal the Salary grab
law—these virtuous feiiows have
handed them in thick as snow flakes,
and are trying to show the country
how patriotic they really ae, after
having passed the meu.-ure, and a
volume of speeches h-.vn been
beard upon this subject. On the 11th
inst, the subject was again discussed,
and partciipated in by Alex. 11.
Stevens.
;Mr. Poland spoke in favor of the
umendment he offered some days since.
He said that SO,OOO a year WHS ample
compensation for his services, and
furnished bim with ample means to
live in the manner which he ch> se
to live. He had taken the increased
pay, and still retained it, preferring
for the present to be called a thief
•nd robber by the press for retaining
it, than to be stigmatized a coward
and hypocrite for returning it. He
would, however, endeavor to have
the thing regulated so that he might
be allowed to return the money to the
"Treasury.
Mr. Stephens (Ga.) was the Dext
speaker. He got on his feet with
some difficulty, and not without
assistance. Then he supported him
self with a crutch uuder his left arm.
He spoke with a clear, ringing voice
which was distinctly audible in every
portion of tbe chamber. His man
ner was nervous and his remarks
very digressive, many of his sen
tences being left uncompleted. He
was listened to with the closest
interest and attention. After speak
ing of the comments of the press, Mr.
Stephens said : The gentleman from
New York (Tremame) had spoken
yesterday of deinagogeism. He 1
(Stephens) maintained that there
could be no Statesmanship without it.
There never had been a Statesman ,
who was not n demagogue. There
were two kinds of demagogue*. (It
fdiatn and the genuine The genuine!
demagogue was tli* man who led Ihe •
people —who guarded the people,
j The sham demagogue pandered to
the errors and prejudices of the peo
ple. He was very glad to say that
the increase salary hill was a measure
for' which neither political party was
responsible. His opinion was that
the Democracy, m proportion of then
votes in Congress, were quite as
responsible as Republican*
The first great thing t< he learned
jin this life, a- taught in the schools
of ancient Greece, w as to discriminate
between that which the multitude
thought was light, and that which
was tight in itself. He claim* i that
when Congress passed the retroactive
law of last session, it had a constitu
ttonal right to do *o. Ho was not
saying whether it was expedient 01
not, but no blush should rest on the
cheek of any man. whether he voted
for it or not. He should have t<!t
that he was as justly entitled to it
as lie was to receive a dollar a day.
It was constitutional law, constitu
tionally passed, and those who wer
entitled to pay under it, were as
uiucli untitled to the whole of it. as
they were to any dime received tiu
tier it. If any thought it wa. too
much and returned it, he (Stephen.-
would uot casta slur upon It tiu for
doiug so. He was not going to place
a value ou his own services as a
Representative, but. if he were to state
what he thought the services of a
Representative ought to he worth, it
would g-> far above the figure ot any
law that has ever been passed. He
had given it a his opimon in the
last speech ho made iu the House,
fourteen years ago, that the salaries
. f members of Congress were $lO,tKKi,
Sct.atvirs 515,000, t htcf Justice of the
Sui ionic Court 150,000, of A - ciated
judge* 125.000, and of the Resi
dent SIOO,OOO, it would be better
for the country at large. He In Id
the .-ante oplnioo Still. He Certain.y
should not vote for the hill reported
hv the committee, but he believed
that the most uuw'ise action-of last
Congress was the aboliliou of the
franking privilege.
The (it and Triumph
The uew Constitution has triumph
ed, iu spite of the Herculean effort* of
the corrupt ring. Let the honest citi
zens of the grand old com raou wealth
of Pennsylvania rejoice, that their tide
has at length triumphed ami; that they
now have the monster, Corruption, uu
der their feet.
The legislators who plundered at
Harrisburg, and who made a paying
busiuess by eugineeriug private legis
lation, have their business hrokeu up
—right aud justice have at length
triumnhed.
The men who went to Harrisburg
to share the plunder of the ring aud
assist it in putting through specula
tive jobs, and then came home and
hid behind a "fence," had their voca
tion brokeu up on last Tuesday by an
outraged people.
The men who took extra pay at
Harrisburg, can't do that any more
under the Constitution adopted on
last Tuesday, by the plundered peo
ple of Pennsylvania.
The men, who at Harrisburg. un
blushiogly sat as reprcseulativesof au
honest constituency, and sold their
votes fer any corrupt measure that
offered a price, have been shorn of
future harvests of plunder from that
quarter by the prohibition of special
legislation and the strict oath that
will hereafter be exacted from the
peoples' representatives.
The men who plaverl one part in
committee and a different one in their
professions before their constituents,
now have the wheels in their cail of
corruption tffectualiy blocked, and
the people are safe against legislative
double dealers. ,
Centre county —aud we are proud
to say it —bas given her voice iu favor
of reform, and by her vote, on last
Tuesday, has uttered her indignation
and condemnation of ringsters, roos
ters, pinchers, aud legislative job
bera.
Let the holiest men of Centre and
of Pennsylvania, rejoice over last
Tuesday's work! It is a genuine
triumph of purer government. The
corruptionist* may now as well enri
grate to some other state, the old Key
stone has gloriously purified her
self.
Front the proceedings of congress it
w.iuld seem that all the salary-grab
congressmen had got down to the
anxii us bench, nud wish to regain
virtue by introducing bills for the re
peal of that odious measure. But
they have not come to this of their
own free will—the hammering they
have been getting from the newspa
pers, which has aroused the public
indignation, has scared these fellows
into taking the ba<Jt track, and make
them appear to be mourning for their
sin-.
The country owes thanks to an in
dependent press for the war it made
upon the salary grabbers, and for
cing them to undo their work.
But the biggest salary grabber of
them all, President Grant, who gave
his signature to the law increasing his
own aud the salary of congressmen,
he bos not yet given evidence of re
pentance—be has not yet come to the
anxious bench, or expressed any will,
ingness to refuse the doubling of bis
pay. Will be refuse it?

Mr. Sumner'* Position
Should there be an opportunity, it
is stated thai Mr. Sumner will take
issue with the administration on the
Cuban question. He holds that the
secretary of state has been too hasty
in the matter, aud has involved the
nation in war.
Mr. Sumner has been prepaiing
a speech on the question, and has
acquainted himself with all the facts.
He takes the ground that the conduct
of the administration has been inimical
to the Castelar government, and has
put the Spanish republic in [teril. He
says Secretary Fish has put our gov
ernment in a position from which he
will he greatly surprised if she retires
with honor.
In the 111 incise State Grange yesterday,
resolutions were adopted requesting all
members and agents of the order not to
buy any machinery from the plow manu
facturers who, a. tlie mei ting in Chicago,
resolved not to sell to granges at adicount
or from their agents.
The Owl it Nfolitlioi* mul *nltry
grab congressmen, did not get thej
back set. ut the opening of congress,
which the people looked for and hail
a riglil to expect. The radical speak-';
er, Blaine, lias assigned them to the
chairmanships of all the most im
portant committers, thus adding iu
Mitt to injury. This WHS not following
the example set by the democracy of
Pennsylvania in their late state con
vention, ill which Mr. Sprer was so
summarily rebuked for taking the
back pay, and which, b) its resolu
tion., placed it so If oo strongly against
the back-pay steal.
Mr. Blaine should have followed
the example thus set hiiu, and he
would have received the plaudits of
the honest men of tlm country. Rut
his policy was, salary-grabbers and
Credit Mobiliente* to the front.
Senator Howe is going for the
"spirits" strong, and this is what ma
nv senators and congressman do with
out legislation upou the subject The
disposition of some of the "honorable*'
in thst direction is so strong that they
occasionally loose their equilibria
The Senator above named introduc
ed a bill the otfier day which pro
vide* for the appointment by the
President, with the consent of the Sen
ate, of five commissioners to investigate
the alcoholic liquor traffic in its econ
otitic, criminal, moral nud scientific
aspects, iu connection with pauperism,
crime, social vice, public health nud
g.neral welfare of the people, aud who
shall also inquire and take testimony
as to the practical results of the li
cense, restrictive ami prohibitory leg
islation for the prevention of intern
peraucd in the several States ot the
Union. Tho commissioners are to be
appointed from civil life, irrespective
of political or |<artiaii consideration*,
and are to hold office for ouevear, tu
serve without salaiy or couijieiifaliou,
except the payment uf incidental ex
penses, and are to make their report
to the President, by whom it shall he
transmitted to Congress.

FINALS 1: v rLEMSNT OF TBB
TEIiMS OF THE SURRENDER
OF THE VIRGIN IDS.
Washington, December 10. —When
au the 29th of November, the protocol
was signed by the Secretary of State
and Admiral Polo, the agreement was
conclusive, and required no endorse
ments of the governments of the
Uuite 1 Slates and Spain, as the basis
had previously been settled by them
The slipuiatiou of time, manner, and
place for the surrender of the Virgiu
iusand surviving passenger* and crew,
etc., which was reserved in the
procotol, was signed on Monday.
While the men will be delivered to a
I'uited States vessel at Santiago dc
Cuba, the vessel will be delivered at
Havana on Tuesday next, in daylight.
The Navv Detriment has completed
all the necessary arrangements pro
vidiug for the reception from the
snauish forces in the harbor of Havana
of the steamer Yirgiuius, and for the
transfer of the survivors at Sautiago
de Cuba from prisou to one of the
United States vessels of war, iu accord
ance with the terms of the diplomatic
agreement between Secretary Fish
aud Admiral Polo. The second-rate
screw steamer Cauaudaigua, carrying
ten gnus, aud commanded by Captain
Lowry, will sail from New York fir
Havana to-morrow to receive the
Yirgiuius, and Captain liraine will
receive the prisoners at Santiago de
'Cuba on the Juniata. Rear Admiral
Scott, at key West will have the
strongest navel force under his com
mand that has becu collected by the
government at any American port
since the termination of the war. The
monitors Saugus aud Mahopac are
there already, with the Ossipee and
the Worcester, the latter being the
Admiral's ilag-ship. The Congress
sails to-night from New York, and is
the best equipped and strongest war
vessel that has sailed from an Ameri
can port since the death of Admiral
Farragut. She is a screw steamer
of 16 guns. The Florida, carrying
16 guns, is expected to follow her
to-morrow, and the Franklin and
the Brooklyn, the former carrying
39 and the latter 20 gnus, will sail
from Boston wilhiu a week.
Captain Lowry of the Canaodaigun
had a two hours consultation with
Secretary Robeson and the Chiefs of
the Bureau Navy Department
to day, during which the details and,
etiquette of the salute to the Hag were
arranged so far as they could be atj
present.
The Spanish naval force on the
coast of Cuba is reported to consist of
the Amcrican-buiit gunboats which
were convoyed to sea from Newj
York two years ago by vessels of our
navy. Our naval force in the harbor
of Santiago is more lliau sufficient to
c<>pe with it in a belligerent emer-l
gency, and if such an emergency
arise it is believed that the British
fleet in the West Indies would render!
assistance to our forces.
Iu reply to requests from Pennsyl
vania lor infoimation resecting ihe
practical results of large membership
m legislative bodies, the Governors ol
New Hampshire, Vermont, and Con
necticut have written brief letters, in
which they concur in the opinion that
it is a great safeguard against bribery
and corruption. The New Hampshire
House of Representatives consists of
360 members. Gov. Straw writer:
"There has uever been any corrup
tion charged in our House of Repres
entatives." Gov. Jewel), of Connecti
cut, says; "Iu my opinion a large
number of Representatives, is a cer
tain guard against corruption;" and
he goes on to say; "I am proud to
say there never lias been any corrup
tion of the Legislature. What is true
of this, is equally true, I think of all
the New Kngland States." Gov.
Converse, of Vermont writes: "We
have often attempted to reduce the
number of Representatives, but we
have always failed. The main ground (
of failure —and I think so, too —is
security it gives us against corrup
tion. 1 think to-day the reasoning !
against lessening the number is stron
ger thau at any prior period in the |
history of the State. The experience |
ot some of the sister States, for a few i
years pant, I liiink, has irrevocably i
established I lie wisdom of our policy (
in the minds of the people. 1 most |
heartily concur iu this opinion, that ■
it proveutsfraud and corruption." ]

Illustrations of Tlie Sun'a Ugh
Heat And Distance.
[Front R. A. Proctor* Hoston
tura.)
We will ueit consider, continued
Mr. Proctor, the suu's light. Thi*
we may compare with the oxy-hydro
gan light which has but 1-146 of iu
lulensity, or, with the electric light
which :i* but one-third &a inteuae.
The estimates of it* total heat are
very variable, but that which it
furniahes to the earth we are able to
measure and to arrive at exact raaulla.
Sir John Herachel haa found that the
heat which falls upon one square
mile, when the aun ia in iu zenith,
ie capable of melting in oue hour
26,000 tons of ice. There are 50,-
000,000 square milea on the aurface
which the aun ahinea upon, and the
beat which it receives would be suffi
cient to raise an ocean sixtv-six miles
Jeep in one year from the freezing
to the boiling poiut. That received
by the earth ia but a amall part of
the light emitted for 72,000 earths
could be placed on the earth's orbir.
The planets receive onlv the 227-
millionth part of it. Yi'hat, then
becomes of the rest ? The stars,
which arc also suns, are giving out a
large amount of heat, only a portion
of which falls upon their planet*.
What becomes of all this heat which
is radiated into space? That is a
Question which is yet unanswered,
tut to return to the sun. The heat
which is actually given out by one
square yard is estimated to bo equal
to that evolved by six tons of coal
burnt in one hour. The light and
heat of the sun travel at the same
rate and probably the magnetic power
also, yet it takes eight minutes for it
to pass the space between as. If the
sun gave out sound, and it undoubt
edly does give out sound, it Jwould
take thirteen and one-half years to
bring it to us. But there is, strangely
enough, a gap which it cannot pass.
If those old heathen who prayed to
the sun could have known how many
mnny years would have elapsed before
their petitions would have been heard
if it were possible for the sound to
have passed that gap, they might
have desisted from their devotions.
If a rod of metal were connected be
tween the earth and sun, it would
take 300 days for a sou ml to lie
transmitted from one to the other.
There was a very nice illustration of
the distance between us which had
becu given by ail American whom he
did not know, but which is based
upon the rapidity with which a sensa
tion is transmitted in the body. He
said if a baby at its birth had an arm
so long that it could touch the sun,
that even if it lived three-score-yenrs
ami-ton it never would kuow that its
fingers were burnt.
A Terrible Game of Cards.
A game of cards, in which a
human life was at stake, was played
on the oth of September, at the Hit
ter Hotel, Ileidelburg, Germany, by
four young students, one of whom,
Silfred Meyer, wis HM American,
from Chicago. It appears that the
four men had formerly been intimate
friends, and they met, it seems, on
the above day, at the Swan Tavern,
were they drank a good deal, and
finally began to quarrel. One of
them, Count Ottendnrf, called Meyer
a cowardly .lew, whereupon the
latter promptly challenged him.
Olteudorf accepted the ohnllciige
immediately. Meyer, in a tune ol
arret excitement, proposed thai all

INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY
Few people who own stock in any bank
conducted without a charter ever consider
the extent to which their responsibility ex
tends. Some imagine that it is only the
member* f the Board of Directors who
are liable lor all debts of the concern,
should it fail under their management
But the (act startling as it is to every one
who c-une* to realixe it, that every dollar
they have in the world can be taken from
them for the debt* of the concern, no mat
ter how small an amount of slock they may
own, should cause every one interested in
such chailcrless bank* to give the matter
their immediate attention. A bank with
out a charter is simply a patnersbip, and
the inan who owns hit house and it com
fortably fixed, virtually puta all bo ha*,
in the world, all hit property of every
description into the scale against him who 1
has nothing but a similar amount of stock,
and then they am both exactly on a level
This it manifestly unjust to the man of
property, lie may lay down at night coti
ociou* that he has exercised all ronianablc
care In the transaction of hi* business, yet
he may wake up a beggar through the bad
management in some bank in which he
own* a few shares of stook. Then when!
it is too late he realizes the dreadful mean
ing of indiviual liability. lie had thought
that hi* liability for the debts of the insti- J
tution were only equal to tho amount ofj
stock he hold, but no, he It liable for eve
ry dollar he ha*. No man who values
what property he ha*, and is opposed to
putting it in one tingle venture a* ho doe*,
in an individual liability bank, should
rest easy until he ha* cither disposod of
hi* slock or procured a charter for the
bank.
TIIK 8 A VINGS OF SCI KNCK
Poubtle** many of our reader* have pe
rused Dickons' excellent novel "Our
Mutual Friend," and hence arc, in a
measure, familiar with the London dust
heaps. Perhaps it will be remembered
how the great writer describe* their con
tents, and, in his inimitable style, sketches
the queer people who often spent their
lives among them in seeking for treasures.
Those patient searches nre creation* of the
past. Their toilsome occupation it gone ;
for Science, with her inventions and pro
cesses. has extended iter sway ]even to the
worthless dust heap*, and from tho filthy
waste bring out the shining gold. The
ordinary waste of a tingle household may
bo roughly estimated at a barrel per day,
and London, it is said, contains five hun
dred thousand houses. The readers Can
form some idea uf lliu wonderful ingenui
ty which contrives to utilize the enormous
aggregate of one hundred and eighty mil
lion barrel* of refuse in the course of a
tingle year.
The local authorities of London sell the
privilege of removing dust and garbage
from each district to a contractor, who
carts it away to a large yard in the sub
urbs, There hill women, sieve in hand,
*epnratu the mass, by a rude analysis, in
to component portions. The most valua
ble of tho latter nre the waste pieces of
coal, and the breezo or coal dust and half
burnt a*hcs. The amount of waste of the
latter may bo measured by the fact, that,
after felling the larger pieces to the poor,
the refuse breeze is sufficient ,to bake the
bricks that are rebuilding London. The
material i* inn) by the contractor* who
Km rally combine tlio bail.ln * trade
wah their regular celling, for the pur|ioe
of imbedding tlio newly jinndu hrti k* into
compact squares. The coal dust having
been llrael, the mat* burn*, with *lol* com*

the circulation ol air a hiclt ii kept up by

broken crockery, and even bread, as they
are eliminated from thu ma** being

loothpowder on jrour Udlet table frag
ments that cannot otherwise be employed
are ground very tine, and treated with sul
phuric acid, constituting an excellent, ar
tificial fertiliser. iioAe dust is also toma
toiiMi used by baker* fur purpose* of adul
teration, so that tbe poetical remark Ml the
giant in the fairy bile,
"I'll griud bis bone* to make my bread,"
is fulfilled both figuratively and literally
Another important product extracted
from boiic* is phosphorus, tcr which there
eru en endless number of use* ; and, final
ly, the fat that is saved in the pretest of
bulling, is employed to make the common
er kind* of soap.
Scrap* f paper abound in the dual
heap*, Thrtu are all carefully sorted, (be
while from the colored and ibe printed.
The ui!ed piece*, which cannot be profit
ably renianufactured, "are used to make
pafirr math* ornament*, doll*' head*, etc.;

The groat market* for all old woolen
fabric* in England i* the town of Bailey
and it* n< igbbocrhood, in Yorkthira, the
great shoddy metropolis. A writer says,
regarding this manufacture : "Keduced |o
filament* and great? pulp, by mighty '
toothed cylinder*, the much veied fabric
re-enter* life in the tnol brilliant form*,
from the tolid pilot cloth to eilkyr mohair*
and glut* test tweed*.'*
Cotton and woolen rag* are both valua
ble when teparale, but el late year* it ha*
been the custom to weave the cotton end
woolen together, the warp "being made of
ibe latter material and the weft of the
former , thu* mixed, however, tho fabric i
cannot he converted into paper or cloth
Many endeavor* have been made la cff* t
a separation and at preseal the rag* are
placed in a closed rect i**? (and subjcclod
to ateatu at a very high temperature. The
result i* that the cotton come* out pure
and fit for the paper maket; the wool i* re
duced to a dark brown 'jowdsr. known a*
the ultimate cf ammonia, and ii employed
to enrich manure* which are poor in ni
trogen.
A very important constituent of the
dul heap is the old iron, battered sauce
pans, old pails, rusty hoop*, horseshoes,
and nails from the road All soldered ar
ticles'hare the to] Jar extracted, as it
is more valuable than the run, and the
cheaper metal is then melted. The horse
shoe nails arc not mixed with the corn
men cast iron, as they are much sought
after by gunmskera for the ptirpoae ©fi
making stub twist barrels. Serap*|of iron, '
it it feund, may be made very useful in,
securing the copper in the dreamt wash-'
ing veins of copper pyrites. Piece* of
battered iron arc placed in tanks, into
which thaa are collected; the cop)er
quickly incrust* the iron, and In proce**
of time entirely dissolves It, o that a mas*
of copper take* the place of the iron. The
residuum, in the shape of a colored depos
it, is at time* taken out, dried, and smelt
ed
The saving* of science, however, arc
> not a! made in the dust heaps of London,
though in the brief outline we hava given,
ot the mode of utilizing some of the Con
stituents of the waste of the great city, a
vast economy is indicated. A lingular
and recent French discovery is that sheep
draw a considerable quantity of potab
from the land on which ttaay graze, much
of which is ultimately excreted from the
skin with sweat. It wa pointed out Iby
Chevrrul that this peculiar potaak com
pound (SMint) form* no less than one
third of the weight of raw merino wool,
, while of ordinary wools it constitute*
about 16 per cent of the weight of fresh;
tlccce. A* the SMIN( may l>e extracted by
mere immersion in cold water, it is easy]
for the manufacturers to produce more orj
ie>* concentrated solution* from which
the potash may be recovered by appropri
ate treatment The development of this
new industry is principally due to MM.
Mautnene and Itoglet, and their process
consist* in evaporating .the solutions,
which arc sent to them, until a perfectly
dry and somewhat charred residue ha-'
' been obtained. This I* placed in retorts'
| distilled very much in the same manner as !
coal at ga* works, and the result is that,
[ while much gav is evolved which can b
'used for illuminating the factory, and
much ammonia it ©spoiled which can be ;
collected and utilized in many ways, there'
remains a residue which chiefly consist-;
of carbonate, sulphate, and chlorido ofj
potassium. These three salts are separated j
by the usual method, and then pas* into <
commerce. Curiously enough, they are-1
remarkably free from soda
Tho woel manufacturers of Ilheiin*,
Elboeuf, and Feurmies annually wash the
fleece af 6,760,1**) sheep, and the nmount
of potash, reckoned as carbonate, which
llieso fleeces would yield if all were sub
jected to the new process, represent* a
value of $400,000 The by-product* of
of ga* work* are so vnluable now that fac
tories are actually set up beside* such es
tablishments for their utilization. The
most important is alum, which, like sal
ammoniac, once came, at a great cost,
from Egypt, but is now mainly procured
from an aluminous shale, which forms tlie
roo I* of coal mines, and which hast© be
brought to tho surface before the coal can
be gained. This was for a long time a
perfectly refuse material, covering (acre*
of ground, like the scoriae and oindai
heat* ; but chemistry has found it out,
and now obtains the product by setting
fire to the shale, the carlion and sulphur
which it contains being sufliciaiit for the
purpose. The friable porous residua lire
afterward* heated in iron pans with sul
phuric acid, to which is addtd the am
monia from the gas liquor, and the three
bodies combine with water to make com
mon or umuioniuca! alum.
Nearly every article of tho toilet bottle
or the lachet i* made from wn*te, some
times from foully orderous matters. A
peculiar fetid oil, is formed in making
brandy and whisky. This fusel oil, dis
tilled w ills sulphuric acid and acetate of
potash, gives the oil of pears. The oil of
apples is made from the sumo fusil oil by
■awamammawMnrnMuamamaamvawaamamae

AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA.
New Revised Wit ion.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writer*
on every subject Printed from new
type, and illustrated with Several Thou
sand Engravings and Map*.
The work originally published underj
.the title of Tit a Saw AMXKICAX Crcto
I-JU>!A wa> complete in 186 S. since which
time the w ide circulation which it ha*
attained in all part* of the United State*,
and the signal development* which have
taken place in every branch of science,
literature, and art, Lava induced the edi
tor* and publisher* to submit it to an ex
act sad thorough rev Lion, and to issue a
new edition entitled The American Cyclo
paedia.
Within the last ten year, the program
ot discovery in avcry department of
knowledge has mad* a new work of refer
ence an imperative want.
Tb* movement ol political affair* ha*
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the in
dustrial and useful arU and the conve
nience and refinement of social life. Great
1 j war* and consequent revolution* have oc
curred, involving national change* of pe
culiar moment. The civil war of our own
cauntrv, which wa* at it* height whan the
last volume of the eld appeared, has hap
pily been ended, and a new course of
commercial and industrial activity has
been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical
i knowledge have been made by the in
dcfaligable explorers of Africa.
The great political revolution* of the
last decade, with the natural result of the
lapse of lime, have brought into public
view a multitude of new men, wbote
name* are in every one's mouth, and of
whose live* every one is curious to know
the particulars. Great battles have been
fought and important sieges maintained,
of which the details are as yet preserved
. only ia the newspaper or in the transient
publications of the day, but which ought
now to take their place in permanent and
authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the
pros*, it an* accordingly been the aim of
the editor* to bring down the information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish
an accurate account of the most recent dis
coveries in science, of every fresh produc
t lion in literature, and ot th* newest inven- '
lions in the paclical arts, as well as to
gire a succinct and original record of the
progress of political and historical event*. <
Tlu< work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources for carrying it on to
a successful termination.
None ef the original stereotype plates
have b- rn usr.l, but every page has been ]
printed on new type, farming in feet a
new Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and
compass as its predecessor, but with a far
greater pecuniary expenditure, and with ]
sueh improvement* in it* composition as .
have been suggested by longer experience
and enlargedknowledge
The illu.tration* which are introduced
for the first time In the present edition I
have b'en added not for the sake of pic
torial effect, but to give greater lucidity
and force to the explanation in the text. .
They embrace all branches of science and
of natural history, and depict the most'
tamou* and remarkable feature of scenery
architecture, and art, as well aathe various
processes <>f mechanic* and manufacture*. J
Although intended for instruction rather '
than embellishment, no pain* have been 1
snared to insure thair artistic excellence; '
the cost of their execution is onor.nous, !
ami it is belies ed they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable feature of the j
Cyclopaedia, und worthy of its high char
acter.
This work i sold to Subscriber* onlv, j
payable on delivery of each volume. It ;
will be completed in .ixleen large octavo
volumes, eaeh containing about 800 pages,
