With the abolition of back-logs and a closing up of the grand old fireplaces, around which our forefathers were wont toassemble. the stove became master of the realm, but between heaters and ranges the cast-iron monarch has been badly driven within the past few years, especially in cities and towns. Xo one thinks of building a house of any pre tentions now-a-days without a range and heater, and the contractor provides for the former even when erecting a row ot four-room houses. Of course, there are very Vffpy c,ook stoves in use, but; thiy are? losing friends rapidly. The heater has taken posses ion of our balls, churches, etc., and would make more rapid headway but for two important reasons, expensive con struction and well founded doubt as to its lieal thfulnese, especially in the case of invalids, its dry, enervating heat often being very injurious. If the air sent forth was always pure, which, as every one knows, is not the case, ami the coal gas was entirely consumed, or kept within proper channels, this hot air would 8! ill subject many to headache, dizziness and general languor. The effect ive arguments in favor of beating fur naces are, ail even temperature through out the building, economy of fuel, where a number of heated rooms are re quired and safety against Are. lint when ill-constructed or placed in damp, ill-ventilated cellars they frequently carry into the household serious illness. This throws us backward half a centu ry , and compels the admission thai the only really healthful Are is an open wood lire. It is the best friend of all, the well or ill, the strong or weak. It is a cheerful, in spiring friend, attracting irresistively and putting every one in the best of humor with themselves aud all the world. If we cannot restore to supremacy the back-log king we can retain the open grate. It is a singular fact that the peo ple of that city famed for smoke Pitts burgh suffer less from coal gas than the inhabitants of this or any eastern city, and they use the soft, bituminous coal, too. The secret ot their comfort is to be found in their open grates. They pile a half bushel of coal on a few shavings, or bits of wood, apply the match and away it goes, crackling and roaring. Soon there is a cheering glow of heat through out the room ; and what is more, every particle of gas and foul air is swiftly carried off up the chimney. Such a Are is not only perfectly safe in the nick room, but has a "onderfnlSy rlieeilnt; and invigorating effect upon :; gloomy patient. You fill up the grate and re tire, to watch the fautastio shadows on the ceiling, but the music of the fire soon puts you to sleep, and you rise in the morning with your head as clear as a bell, none of that dizzy, heavy, sicken ing feeling inseparable from a stove Are. Next to the open grate it is claimed that steam heating is the most healthful. It diffuses a pleasant, moist warmth aud has this certain advantage : it does not impoverish the air of its oxygen. But how can it t-e applied to general use ? It has been suggested that the means of heating dwellings will yet bo furnished as gas and water are now supplied in all populous towns. Great reservoirs of steam might be provided in central po sitions sufficient to supply their immedi ate neighborhoods. It this plan could be made practicable the cost of steam heat ing would be reduced to a figure within the means of economical households. As American inventivo genius is given the credit the world around of being inex haustible, it ought to take a fresh hold of this problem. They Have the Right. The Philadelphia Committee of One Hundred has put in nomination its own candidates for sheriff and register, not Anding any of the candidates for these offices nominated by the political parties to be just suited to their minds. This is a very proper thing for the One Hun dred to do, and if tho good citizens of Philadelphia agree with them that neither the Republican nor the Demo cratic nominees arc At men for thenlaces they seek, the candidates of the One Hundred will be elected provided there are enough of such good citizens, so thinking, to vote for them. The One Hundred are submitting their judgment to the ratification of the Philadelphia voters, and it will be likely to be endors ed just in proportion as it is good or bad. Our .opinion is that the extent of the endorsement is not likely to be flattering to the self-esteem of the One Hundred ; because there happens to be some men on the political tickets who are quite sufficiently good to satisfy the sentiment of the voters of their party. The ticket of the One Hun dred will not be likely to get many Detn cratic votes, because the Democratic candidates are believed by the Demo crats to be fit men for the offices for which the party has named them. The Republican candidate for register is also believed to be generally accfptable to his party. The Republi can candidate for sheriff is justly objec tionable to the sentiment for wiiich the One Hundred speak, and he it is against whom they are particularly inclined. They could have most effectively opposed him by endorsing tho Democratic candi date. It seemed, however, to be putting too much Democracy in their mixture to support a Democrat for the influential office of sheriff. The stomach of the One Hundred could only endure the moderate dose it took in swallowing the Democratic candidate for judge ; and so the support of the Democratic Grim for sheriff is made indirect instead of direct. It may have bsen wise ; the Re publican followers of the One Hundred may have ref nsed the prescription of Grim and Arnold presented without dis guise. The One Hundred know thern selves and theirs. Their performance is all their 'own; they pay the bills and they are entitled to have it presented according to their liking. The Democ racy has no fault to find. It does not care to have its nominees dictated to it, and does not desire to dictate those of others.

IpyPPSOTlST COME. TE HjCjOKjlltXD.rOK EXTKADITIOM. .& -& -fe r Decision of flto Canadian Court Against the Prisoner Ths next Move On the Legal Chessboard Major Phipps, the absconded superin tendent of tho Philadelphia almshouse, was brought from thq jail to the court house, in Hamilton,' Ont., abont 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. The decision of Judge Sinclair was not to be rendered until 3 o'clock, and the major aud his guard, Captain Henery, had nearly an hour to wait. The major was quite cheerful, and chatted in a lively way. He did not be lieve Hiat bo would have to return to Philadelphia, though ho had been advised by his counsel that tho decision of Judge Sinclair would probably bo adverso to his prospects. At 3 o'clock Judgo Sinclair came into court, and as ho walked to tbo bench every person in the court- room rose aud remained standing until ho was seated. Edward Martin and Ernest Kittson were picsent for the prosecution, and Harkins, Osier, Carscallen aud Chaill for Phipps. Mrs. Phipps was not present. Tho judge lost no time, put proceeded to read his written judgment. It was a document of fifty-lour pages of foolscap, aud during its delivery Osier sat reading a law book, Harkins leaned his chin on his baud and gazed at tho judge, while Phipps lay back in his chair aud never removed his eyes from the judgo's face except now and then to turn them on Harkins and Osier. His oyes blinked frequently and the corner of his mouth twitched nervously. The opinion of Judgo Sinclair was tilled with references and authorities iu support of his views. After referring to tho three detailed charges against the prisoner, viz. : Forging tho signatures ot Seeds & Fergu son, Walter L. Murphy and A. J. Bellows to receipts for $595, $389 aud $377 respec tively, the judgo found that tho prisoner had obtained the warrants for money be longing to these receipts by falsely repre senting to Williamson that ho had author ity to sign. Tho depositions of Murphy Seeds and Bellows showed that this state ment was wrong. As to tho objections raised by Osier, that the depositions wore not in the proper form, the ruling was that in a case of this kind tho matter and not the form ought to bo considered. The plea that tho prosecution was for political motives was scouted by tho judgo. Ho found that tho offense charged was really forgery under tho terms of the ex tradition treaty. "For these reasons," says the judge, "I am of opinion that Ellis P. Phipps must bo detained for ex tradition on tho charges preferred against him." Tho judge in his opinion quoted Justice Draper to tho followiug effect : "I think I am bound to construe a treaty made be tween my sovereign and her ally in a lib eral and just spirit, not laboring with eager astuteness to find Haws or doubtful meanings in its words or in those of tho forms required for carrying it iuto effect. We aro to regard its' avowed object tho allowance of each country to briug to trial all prisoners charged with the cxpiesscd offenses. Neither of tho parties can prop ly havo auy desiro to pi event such trial or to shield the olfender. I havo neither the desire nor tho right to supposo that ho will not be fairly tried in tho United States. Tho treaty is based ou tho as sumption that each country should be trusted with the trial of offenses commit ted within its jurisdiction." I ho major had a short talk with his counsel after the judgment was rendered, and then went back to tho jail with Capt. Henery. A writ of habeas corpus will bo applied for and an appeal taken to a single judge iii Toiouto, an 1 appeals will be followed up to tho last stage. The general opinion is now that even in the last appeal Phipps' counsel wilt ho defeated and that ho will finally bo surrendered. Tho papers in the caso will be forwarded to the governor aud council, and an appeal can be tak n :-.t any time within lilteeu days. J i the meantime Phipps remains iu Hamilton. MOKEKSOS-S MILLIONS. Lawyer Fighting Over a Klch Legacy. The late Mr. Joseph Nickersou, ot Bos ton, left an cstato amouutiug to sevoral millions of dollars, which was divided between his wifo and two sons and two daughters. The youugest daughter, Josephine, who was one of the trustees under the will, a fow mouths ago camo to tho conclusion that tho property was not being properly managed. She had given a trust deed of her property to two prominent lawyers, who attempted to get possession of about $100,000 worth of so cuiitics in tho vaults of tho Boston Safe Deposit company, which had been placed there by Miss Niekerson and her brother George jointly. It was found that sho had cither lost her key or it was in tho posses sion of George, and tho managers of the managers of tho deposit vaults refused to allow the trustees to obtain access to tho securities, on tho ground that Miss Jose phine and George Nickersou wero tenants iu common. A bill in equity was therefore brought against George Niekcrson and tho Boston Safo Doposit company, and to-day an interlocutory motion was made to allow Miss Niekcrson to havo tho securities dur ing tho pendency of tho bill, alleging that she has no other moans of support. No decision was reached. Au effort has been made by other members of tho family to commit Miss Nickersou to tho iusano asy lum, but this was abandoned. rue. UAt xv ti cki.ki;kvtk.
