New Hampshire ElectiOTtDespite the desperate efforta of

Democracy, aided by GAEL SCHUBZ,

CIIAKLES SUMNER, LYMAN TRUMBULL & Coand the New York "Tribune"— by every soured Republican in Congress,

and some out of it, who wanted to "beat

GKANT"~deapi(esuch an array of forces as was never before marshalled under one

banner in any bad cause, the Republicans of the Old Granite State triumphed a^

the polls yesterday, electing Hon. E. A.

STRAW, Governor, and carrying the Leg' islaturc. Last year, WESTON, Democrat,

received 808 over PIKE, Republican

but the majority of all the other candidates over WESTON was 329.

What the Republican majority is, this

year, cannot now be determined, but there is reason to believe it will not be less than the Democratic majority which

our friends had to overcome. This election has been awaited with intense anxiety, as having an important

bearing on the approaching Presidential campaign. Had GRANT been badly

beaten in New Hampshire, his opponents

would have had strong hopes of defeating him in the Philadelphia

Convention. But the result shows,

conclusively, the strength and cohesion of the Republican party and the substantial,

enduring popularity of General GRANT,

Never was a bitterer cup of humil iation commended to mortal lips than

that which the Republican allies of Democracy are How invited to swallow Never wa3 there a victory more cheering

to the true and tried Republicans than this iCrst gun of the campaign of '72, now echoing across the continent.

Mr. Sam. Bowles on the Political Situation. The editor of the Springfield "Republican" is at Washington, and he has been casting his eyes and his intelligence over the elements which constitute the politi cal situation, and exposes the unlovelinesa of their aspect in a three-column com munication to his paper. He has recognized personal interest among the states* men as their generally governing princl pie, without a modicum of patriotic feel ing to leaven the debasing and cowardly sentimet—everything confined within the wall of personal ambitions and personal rivalries—all for self and nothing for country or its welfare—selfishness and sor didness reigning supreme. The great patriotic heart of the country has not room for one throb at the Capital. This is a very sorry showing.

Concerning the Presidency, Mr. BOWLES says, there is a common reticence among Congressmen. Determinate opinion seems to be at a discount. The Democrats are all faithful disciples of a passive policy in secret, but they dare not give vent to their opinions because of the Uourbonism at home which might peril the safety of their Congressional offices, They dread the defeat or withdrawal ot GRANT at Philadelphia, because it would utterly denude them of Presidential capi tal, and look forward with hope that it may not be so, but they may have oppor tunity to set up a Republican and Re form ticket in opposition, which they can help to support. But they are silent for selfish reasons, and will only speak ou with the warrant of safety in so doing This is rather a pitiful position for the "unt^rified" to be in.

On the side of the Republican Congress men, Mr. BOWLES says, with the excep tion of those who have been pronounced in their opposition to GEN. GRANT, there is a condition of neutrality or passivism equivalent to that which rules among the Democrats. The great body of the party are holding themselves in reserve, wait ing for what may turn up, and afraid to be in any way instrumental in guiding political affairs so as to obviate what they fear. They are atraid of the force of I'ome impressions, yet dare not attempt either to mould or direct them. All patriotism is engulplied in self. This also is a very lamentable showing

We pass over his review of the signs ac cording to which Mr. BOWLES prophesie a fatal division of the Republican party in the event of General GRANT'S renomination, for the reason that they are founded on tacit evidence that, in 'the hands of such a partisan as the writer is, will not stand good in the Court ot Common Judgment, and come to take a glance at what ho eays of the prospects of the Republican Reform party -just now in its swaddling clothes, and very uncertain as to paternity. Mr. BOWI.ES says the convention that is to meet at Cincinnati in May next will not be in antagonism to Republicanism, but in sympathy with its purest principles and objects. The call presupposes no nominations, and the as*, semblage may only be a monster meeting, with a national sanction, to demonstrate the truly patriotic sentiments of the Republican party, which will guide and strengthen it now and in its future, and not in any way foreclose participators as 10 the action of the regular Republican Convention at Philadelphia. But sup-'-^ipose it might be otherwise, and that the

Cincinnati Convention should put up a ticket bearing the names of CHARLES ^I'MNKR and LYMAN TRUMBULL, or

VMAN TRUMBULL and HORACE GREEKY, Mr. BOWLES expresses doubt that mere organized machinery of the reglar Republicans would be more powerful iver the minds of the people than uch nominations would be. Neither the ^Republican nor the Democratic party separately or unitedly, he thinks," would be powerful enough to make successful resistance to a movement so broadly founded and so illustriously generalled.

Terliaps none of them would try at least Mr. BOWLIS believes the Democrats would not—and more especially if TRUMBULL and GREELEY were the nominees for, like DAVY CROCKETT'S coon, they would come down without the expenditure of powder and bullet, finding that resistance would be useless flop over voluntarily and without even the hope of recognition when the spoils are divided, for Democratic direct coalition with the Reform Republicans is to be one of the impossibilities of the political period. Will the Bourbons ever give in to such a sacrifice? Never, we believe, will they yield the chance of raking up the spoils.

Now the avowal of all these things is laid down very specifically by Mr. BOWLES, and is in brief this: "Republicans! be good boys and do not renominate General GRANT, with all the signs and significations now threatening but put TRUMBULL and GREELEY at the head of your Presidential ticket and you can defy all creation to give you a political whipping." So ends the first lesson.

AN Indianapolis correspondent says the Democratic press of the State seem to be pretty well pleased with the slate made up for them, and the convention will nominate it as the ring has decided.

MASSACHUSETTS is about to establish as a branch of its educational system, schools for the instruction of the working-classes in the mechanical trade. The idea is an advanced one and comes from Europe. It has been mooted for some time in this country, but the State which leads in isms and education is the first to adopt it. :i

SANDFORD C. COX, Esq has been em ployed by some heirs residing in Iowa and Kansas, to investigate the title to a tract of land lying in the southern part of the city of Lafayette, to which they lay claim. The tract comprises about sixty six acres, now closely covered with dwell ing houses, and is valued at three or four hundred thousand dollars.

THE full returns of the local election throughout the State of New York, show heavy gains for the Republicans. In Columbia county the Supervisors show a reversal of majorities in favor of the Re publicans also, in Erie county and Herkimer county, with gains in Monroe and Rensselaer. In Rochester, especially, the Democratic majority of 1,100 of last Fall was overcome.

THE Massachusetts Board of Health are investigating the subject of opium eating, and find that there am over a hundred thousand habitual consuEtfei'S of the drug in the United States. This is not a great number in proportion to our population, but the habit is growing rap idly, as shown by the increase in the opium imports from 24,000 pounds in 1840 to 154,841 in 1870. The increase in 1871 is also large.

OLIVE LOOAN, in a letter to the New Orleans "Times," says: "I have taken the opportunity offered me recently by challenge thrown down before me by the fres-love crew, of whom Mrs. WOODHULL is the bright exemplar, to say, in the plainest of plain words, that I am against that crew, and shall ever be. I have never uttered one word in ^public that was not calculated to aid thp cause of old-fashioned virtue, and, God helping me, I never will."

THE Chicago "Times" wishes the Cin cinnati Convention to act finally in May and to nominate Judge DAVIS. It wants no subsequent action by the Democratic organization as such, but an ac ceptance of the Liberal Republican ticket by general consent. This means the utter disbandment of the old Democratic party, and its burial in the same graveyard with Hartford-Con ventiou-Federalism, without so much as a tombstone to perpetuate its memory.

A SHEET independent enough to be neutral will give both sides in full, and speak its own mind plainly.—Mail. "A sheet independent enough to be neutral," has no independence at al!. The "Mail" never was "neutral," and we don't think it can be under its present manage1 went. Wtili a live republican ai its editor, that excellent paper cannot degenerate into political neutrality. If the editor "will give both sides in full, and speak his own mind plainly," his paper will be "independent," in the best sense of the word but the idea of neutrality in journalism doesn't belong to this age.

Small-Pox at Huntington. A gentleman who came down from Huntington to Lafayette on Saturday, reports great excitement there in regard to the small-pox. The Mayor has issued a remarkable proclamation in respect to the disease, providing penalties such as tine, imprisonment, and stripes upon the bare back for any one who dares to appear upon the public streets after having been exposed to the disease. The -Huntington "Democrat" says: "There is intense indignation in the community against the physicians who mocked and derided the judgment of Dr. Grayston in the small-pox cases, and. who have been directly instrumental in exposing the entire community to the loathsome diseaseRopes and lamp-posts are freely mentioned in connection with their cases."

ACCORDING to the announcement made in a dispatch, printed last week, there were filed, on Saturday, in the Clark Circuit Court, two bills by the attorneys of the estates of TAYLOR and DAVIS, suing Sheriff BAXTER on his official bond, claiming damages in the sum of $20,000 in each case, for alleged dereliction duty, in suffering the prisoners, TAYLOR and DAVIS, to V« taken from the jail at Charleston and hung by a mob. The New Albany "Ledger" learns that the cases have been skillfully and adroitly prepared that the evidence to be adduced on the trial has been carefoily considered, and that the parties prosecuting these claims may produce evidence that may have an important influence in reopening the case, or for the subsequent action of the grand jury of Clark county. i.

The Practical Operation eflf Prote

tion.

'Som'e two Weekis ago w% Examined the ftfodam^jii Stxiom of Free Trade, that "a nation wonld spontaneously establish manufactures when it had, by the pursuit of Other occupations to which its natural conditions better adapted it, accumulated capital enough to allow it to look about for new investments and to bear the losses and uncertainties of experiments." W§ showed that it was fallacious in assuming capftjl to be the indispensable requisite, and in placing skill and availability of resources out of tne case, or too elightly in it to affect the result! We argued that skill was the prime necessity, and the policy of pursuing agriculture, 5r Commerce, as a means of attaining the condition in which manufactures are inevitably developed, was about as wise and certain as the policy of learning to swim by sedulously practising skating. A man don't learn to "puddle" iron by following the plow.

Skill, like other forms of education, must be acquired slowly and expensively, and at the hazard of many failures. The nation that desires it has to pay for it, as a man has to pay for his knowledge.of arithmetic and geography. He may be rich enough to employ the knowledge of other men, and never suffer seriously from his own deficiency, and a rmtioti may be rich enongh to employ the skill of other nations, but in both cases the chances of evil from Buch dependence are unpleasantly big. No i&ftn atii no people.are so safe as they who are sufficient unto themselves, and no man and no people can feel the full pride of manhood and of the development of the powers God has given them, who must depend for any indispensable support or UEO of life, upon others. That "brotherhood of mankind" which enthusiasts dream of as the result of mutual international dependence, may come with the

Millennium, but till then, the policy that makes a nation 8elf-dependettfr*and selfsuBtaining, is the policy of wisdom, and that policy compels us to pay for the knowledge that makes us free. Protection is the fee whieh the laws of Nature inexorably demand for its acquisition. We Way defy any Free Trader to find an instance in history of a nation that successfully encountered the competition of older manufacturing nations without the help of Protection.

England, by centuries of pursuit of manufacturing has attained a skill and consequent reputation that Will overbear any uskilled competition, however abun dantly aided by capital. Did she attain it by grain-growing and stock-raising?— Not a bit of it. She protected everything by such duties as we of the United States never dreamed of. She paid such a school-bill as no nation has ever paid.— An act of CHARLES II. required every corpse to be buried in woolen goods, and fined the officiating clergyman at the fu neral if he did not file, with the nearest magistrate, a certificate of conformity to the act) within eight days. Leeds and its gigantic cloth factories are the fruit of this policy. So deeply engaged was the interest of the Government in the protection of wool, that it required the official seat of the Lord Chancellor to be mada of that material, and it is called the "Wool Sack," to this day. Iron was guarded with equal care. The whole monstrous fabric of British industry is the work of careful and persistent protection. Now she feels able to dispense with the hedge that guarded her half-skilled labor, and she calls on all the world to tear down their fences. If we suggest that what proved so good for her won't hurt us, her economists and theorists and statesmen tell us that we are silly to pay to acquire skill for ourselves which she will furnish at much-less cost.

That dependence on others for the fruits of skill, is, in the end, an unmixed evil, and that sell-dependence, though costly, is finally profitable, the German States give us a most convincing proof. In 1810, Napoleon, not so much to develop industry as to distress England, established a protective policy for all the German States in his Empire, including Prussia. Manufactures speedily began to appear, and promised well but, in four years, Napoleon was overthrown, and his policy abandoned. The effect was, that the country was flooded with cheap English goods, the growing manufactures were prostrated, industry driven back upon the barren field of agriculture, was unproductive, and thegeneral distress was so great that, in four years more, 1818, the policy of protection was restored. Now, see the result. In 1806, before Napoleon's system was introduced, Prussia, with a populatiou of 10,000,000, had 4S0,000 free laborers, $200,000,000 of manufacturing investments, and the average annual in. income of the people was over $10 each. Fifty years after, with 17,000,000 of inhabitants, the average annual income of each was $42, the manufacturing capital $770,000,000, and the number of free laborers 2,771,000. Does any sane man imagine that this change could ever have been made if England's older skill and cheaper products had been allowed to stifle industry up to 1856, as they did up to 1818? Forty years ago Prussia exported most its wool and bought its woolen goods. Now protection has made wool so valuable that it imports great quantities, and pockets tlio prullt uf tui uiuft it into ulvnt. I-ra?o than forty years ago she sold all her rags abroad and bought all her paper. Now she makes all her paper and imports thousands of tons of rags. Protection has made her cast-off clothing a source of wealth, of industry, and of sustenance to thousands of her people. Prussia now rivals England in iron work, and surpasses her in steel. The great establishment of KRUPP, at Essen, has no equal in Birmingham. Who will say that Prussia has done a silly thing to acquire the skill that has produced this prosperous condition of industry, by paying the tuition fee of "protection?" It is to be particularly noted here, for the edification of the blatherskites who tell farmers that protection is a discrimination agajnst them and against agricultural products, that the American Encyclopedia, the best authority we have, says "a great part of this increase belongs to agricultural production, the of progress which has jeen stimulated by the increase oj domestic consumption." Let farmers put that fact in a comfortable pipe and smoke it reflectively. Protection creates new industries, increases consumption of food, and furnishes new markets to the farmer right at his door, instead of sending him across the Atlantic to lake his chance with corn from the Black Sea, and wheat from the Baltic.

Russia gives us another even more striking illustration. ALEXANDER I, folly imbued with the speculative free trade idea of Mr. STORCH, an early and able advocate of the policy of pursuing agriculture in order to learn how to coll iron and spin cotton, did what an honest man should, pot them into operation, by a free trade ukase, which very nearly ruined the country. English cheap goods run out less skilled home competition, and Count NESSELRODE, in announcing a contemplated change to protection in a "government circular," said that "Russia was forced to a system of independent commercc, that manufactures were exceedingly depressed that the coin of the country was rapidly flowing out, the most solid mercantile establishments endangered, and agriculture and commerce, as well "as manufacturing industry, not only paralyzed, but brought to the brink of* ruin." Russia was killing herself to feed England, under the delusion that becanse she got English goods a few cents cheaper, she was making money and accnmulaling wealth. The industry that she could pursue without protection, her agriculture, was inadequate. Its income would not support everybody, and consequently

tkere suffering. English cotton goods at half price was no compensation. The Czar stood by his espcMdSnt about seven year*. Then, in 1824, a change was made as indicated in NESSELRODE^ circular. English goods were Hot allowed to monopolize tne filarket: ttassla protected her ihdustty s.hd thus diversified it- 5h£ ibade new markets fttr grain ahd itaeat, and kept her money at bonie. 8]»e tried both ends of the efcbhofticsl systeisi, and' a Kttfer fcspferitshce told her which #as the most expensive. It told ns the same thing in 1850—'52, when the tariff of 1846 had put our iron manufacture at the mercy of England, extinguished all our furnace*, stopped our mills, and removed all restraint upon English prices. The consequence was that we paid more for a ton of Scotch pig tfeai* We had befbre paiS for a ton of Pennsylvania pig. The practical operation of protection is its best argument in the main, though isolated cases of hardships may and do occur. We may adduce, hereafter, a still more irrefragable argument from facts, than those we have cited. .a.—,

SENATOR WOOD, of the New York Les=wlatnre, proposes to amend tltS laws of that State so as to Include as-' a cause of limited divorce "such conduct'on the part of the husband toward the wife as shall, without just cause, deprive her of the society of her relatives or friends, or of attendance upon public .worship, or shall Resignedly render her life-unhappy or uncomfortable." Whereupon the Indianapolis "Evfening Journal" remarks that "while it may be possible that our own divorce laws are too loose, there is no doubt that those of New York are too stringent, and in some respects might be modified without detriment to the public moral". There are other offences equally as heinous as adultery, which should be held sufficient ground for severing the marriage bonu3."

THE wily o'd "Express" is anxious to drag the young, innocent and virtuous "Mail" into the support of the corrupt Radical party during the coming Presi dential campaign. We don't believe the "Mail" editor will be seduced in that way from the paths of rectitude!—Journal. "The younfc, innocent and virtuous "Mail" hss distinguished as a Staunch supporter of GRANT'S adminis tration, and an enthusiastic advocate of GRANT'S re election. There is no reason to suppose it will go back cn so good a record. The course followed by that journal has ltd it in the path of prosperity.

A SINGULAR SUIT is pending in one of the Brooklyn courts. It is brought by lady against the Board of Health for re motfing her son to the small-pox, hospital against her wish or desire, in which institution he died, as his mother alleges, from the want of that proper care which she was willing to give him, and under which he might have recovered, She declares that the exposure consequent on his removal was the. ciust of hisdfeath. The result of the trial will have deep interest, as much more apprehension is felt among the people of being conveyed to the pest house than is caused by the risk of taking the small-pox.

A LATE DISPATCH states that the House Committee oh Commerce are prepared to recommend an appropriation of ''50,000 for the improvement of Michigan City Harbor. l"he Indiana delegation, however, are strongly insisting on the original amendment asked for, viz.: $100,000, with some prospect of success,

MAS SHOT AND WOUNDED.

FATALLY

Escape of the Assas in.

From the New Albany Ledger, llt/i.» We are informed by a gentleman who came down on the morning train over the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railway, that an affray opcurred near St. Joseph Church, eight miles from this city, on Sunday evening about 6 o'clock, by which a man, named James Cuddy, was shot and fatally wounded. It appears that August Krager had been out on a Sunday hunting expedition, carrying a double-barrelled shot gun, and upon his return visited Shaffer's saloon, and engaged in a drinking bout with Cuddy and several other parties, until all were more or less intoxicated. During the afternoon a personal quarrel arose between Cuddy and Krager, and they left the saloon, when Cuddy threat ened a personal chastisement of Krager, who, in his drunken condition, became infuriated and discharged one of the bar rels of his gun into the breast of Cuddy,producing a wound which it is believed will prove fatal, although he was not dead when the train passed the station this morning. Krager succeeded in making his escape, and had not been arrested when our informant was at the station. The occurrence created considerablee excitement in the neighborhood, and the saloon keeper is severely censured for having kept his saloon open and sold intoxicating liquors on Sunday in violation tof he law. i,j 1

The Vice Presidency. "c

Washington Cor. Cin. Gaxette.l For some time it has been a matter of curious inquiry here as to who is the administration candidate for the Vice Presidency. It has been believed that Gen. Grant had no avowed preference in this respect, and that this portion of the ticket was to be left open to ill aspirants. Within the past few days there have been expressions from certain quarters which would seem to indicate that the administration desired a change in this direction, and Delegate Chaffee, of Colorado, who was interrogated by his constituents by letter as to the instructions to'be given to the delegates to attend th» Pi«5i.^oirK o»=T.miu.i, made such inquiries as he deemed sufficient, and then responded that the support of Colfax was not an administration test, and further intimated that either Wilson, of Iowa, or Wilson, of Massachusetts, would be just as acceptable to the President. There is reason to believe that Wilson, of Iowa, would be the most acceptable of these two to the White House. In discus»ing this question the administration organ here this morning uses the following language: "While other gentlemen who, for lesser services, have been perhaps more honored and applauded, are now endeavoring to destroy its organization, and hand it over to tlie'enemy whom it has so often fought and conquered, the two Wilsons are working might and main to add to the long list of its triumphs and successes. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, has spoken brave words in favor of the administration and of the renomination of President Grant, which are all the stronger from him, inasmuch as it has been attempted to array him in the

line

of opposition. Both of these gen

tlemen have been mentioned as candidates for the Vice-Presidency. In either of them Mr. Colfax would have an able and worthy successor." ."'v

SCHCRZ writes a grumbling letter because he was not put on a committee to investigate a case in which he began as the chief accuser and came out as one of the accused. We have not heard that Tweed ever complained that he was not on the famous Committee of Seventy. Schurs was, however, invited to furnish any and all evidence in his possession tr« sustain his charges, or to indicate whai witnesses he wished to have summoned. He avails himself of the whining excuse that he was not put on the committee as a cover for declining the invitation. This shows the calibre ot the man, and exposes his real animus in this attack on the government of his adopted country, under the guise of superserviceable zeal for the Emperor of Germany.—Cin.

Kerosene not Explosive. Kerosene is not explosive. A lighted taper may be thrust into it, or flame applied in any way, and it doss Hot explode. On the contrary, it extinguishes flame, if experimented With at the tisnal temperas tores of our roottis. Eerosene accidents ocbur from two causes: first, immabufabturfe of the article adultSrPjtioiiS. AB iiiS|Jerfe8tly Manufactured oil is that which results when the distillation has been carried on at too low a temperature, and a part of the naphtha remains in it. Adulterations are largely made by unprincipled dealers, who add twenty or, thirty per cent, of naphtha after it leaves the manufacturer's hands. The. light naphthfts which have beea spoken of as known in Bommeree under the names Of behiihej benzoline, gasoline, etc-, are very volatile, inflammable, and dangerous. They, however, in themselves, are not explosive neither are they, when placed in lamps, capable of furnishing any gas which is explosive. Accidents of this nature are due entirely to the facility with which iapor is produced from them at low tfetnperkiures, Biit the. vapor by itself is ihekplosive to render it BO, it must be mixed with air. A lamp may "be filled with .bad kerosene, or with the vapor even, and in no possible way can it detonate, unless atmospheric air has somehow got mixed with the vapor. A lamp, therefore, full, or nearly full of the liquid is safe, and also one full of pure warm vapor is safe. Explosions generally occur when the lamp is first lighted without being filled, and also late in the evening* wheh the Huid is nearly eiii&udted. The reason of this will readily be seen. In using, imperfect or adulterated kerosene, the space above the line of oil is always filled with vapor and so long as it is warm, and rising freely, no air can reach it, and it is safe. At bedtime,, when the family retire, the light is extinguished the lamp Cools, a portion of the vapor is condensed this creates partial vacuum in the .space, which is instantly filled with air. The mixture is now more or less explosive) and

perfect seccndi lufai

iipon the

next 6ve!iib|r, the lamp Is lighted without replenishing with oil, as is often done, an explosion is liable to take place. Late in the evening, when the oil is nearly consumed, and the space above filled with vapor, the lamp cannot explode to long as it remains at rest upon the table. But take it in hand, agitate it, carry it into a cool room, the vapor is coded, air passes in, and the,tni±ture becbitios explosive* A. case of lamp explosion came to the writer's knowledge a few. years since, which was occasioned by taking a lamp from the table to answer a ring at the .door-bell. The caol outside air, which impinged upon the lamp in the hands of the lady, rapidly condensed tlifc vajxr, air passed in, and an explosion occurred, which resulted fatally. If the lamp had been full of fluidjthis accident eould hot have occurred- Before carrying it to the door, tiatue might have been thrust into the lamp with safely the vapor would have ignited, but no explosion could have taken place.

HOW TO TEST KEROSENE.

But how can we be positively assured of safety in the use of kerosene? How can we know of the quality or character of the article offered us by dealers? These are imffortant questions, which will naturally arise in the mind of the reader. Wc answer, there is positive assurance of safety, if pure, well manufactured kero* sene is consumed. We do not believe a a serious accident ever occurred from kerosfehe, the ihnamablk point of whinh was above 110^ t\, and this is the legal standard. During the past fifteen years the writer has made a large number of experiments upon burning fluids, and investigated thoroughly the conditions under which accidents occur in their use. Personal investigation has been made of the alleged cases of explosions, many of whieh have been reported, and therefore opinions upon the eut\je0t With a eonfi: dent feeling of their correctness.

Purchases made direct, of long estabf lished reputable manufacturers, afford assurance Of safety. But such are not readily accessible, and inmost cases.a supply is sought from the nearest dealer, without any definite knowledge of the source from whence it comes, or its character or quality. If consumers are willing to be put to a little trouble, a simple experiment will determine the safety of the kerosene they purchase. Fill a pint bowl two-thirds full of boiling water, and into it put a common metallic thermometer. The temperature will run up to over 200°. By gradually adding cold water, bring down the temperature of the water to 110°, and then pour into the bowl a spoonful of the kerosene, and apply a lighted match. If it takes fire, the article should be reyeoted as dangerous if not, it may be used with a confident feeling of its safety. In this experiment, which is the most simple that, can be devised, the fire test is directly applied Upon practical trials it has been found to afford correct results. •ij.fi (rfT .Vffi).

Schools can not make educated mea and women. Thousands of people saturated with the learing of the colleges are not educated. The difference between an ed ucated man and one that it not, is made chiefly by the books he reads. It is the "well-read" man who is the well-taught man. We do not mean to undervalue schools, but we consider that person who has a fixed habit of diligent andcareful reading at fifteen years of age, is sure to be well-educated. If all the colleges in the land were blotted out, he would be a man of culture all the same. English literature well studied gives more of real cul ture than all the classics. Few students ever get anything more out of Latin and Greek than a mere grammatical drill Let us lay it down Li.cU as :t rule that nine-tenths of the general culture gotten from books comes from other than schoolbooks or school instruction. A schooled ucation is a mere preparation.

We have said all this—true enough to be trite, perhaps—that we may say one other thing, and say it with emphasis. What children read has more to do with their education than what they are taugth in school, li is more important that children should have good books, and only good books, than that they should have ood teachers. We spend time and money reely to find good teachers. How much ore do we have in the matter of literature for children?

Most people provide no books for their children Sophia must go to boardingschool* Sopllla aiunt ltar« Vrooolt oud drawing masters. Sophia must have music, or be a heathen. It costs so much to educate her that there is nothing left to huy books with. Poor Sophia! It has cost so much to educate her that there is absolutely nothing left to educate her with, and she really goes without the best part of her education, which might have been had for half the money. She must be educated in occomplishments, and so must go without general reading. And so poor Sophia picks her reading as a half-starved donkey picks thistles in the corners of the fence. She reads the story papers and Alexander Dumas in dirty yellow paper covers, and whatever there Is objectionable of George Sand. Of course she is educated. She knows a little Latin, and can construe and scan a few lines of Virgil. She has construed and scanned all the poetry out of them, however. She understands French—that is, she can say such simple sentences as "Are: vous mon livre!" and "Donncz moi du pain," and of all the treasures of Frtncb literature she has read, well, part of Telemaque, and all of Charles XH. If that isn't education, pray what is it? English literature? Well, yes, she did study somebody's Compend of English Literature. But one never learns English literature out of a compend. Of all the great works of genius in the English language, Sophia has read not one, except Byron's Don Juan, maybe, which one of the girls smuggled into school because it was on the index ex pwrgatorivs. And now, Sophia has no taste for Shakespeare or Milton, for Chaucer or Tennyson or Mrs. Browning. She could not read Prescott or Irving while Mrs. Southworth writes stories and Mrs. Ann S. Stephens continues to be an ornament to American literature. Besides, why need Sophia trouble herself about anything so dull as standard literature. Has not she finished? Has not her education been stamped with the proper seal, and has she not the comfortable assurance of its completeness? That is what the white dresses and bouquets and essays tied with pink ribbon on the night of the last "commencement" meant. The rest of us are troubled all our lives with a sense of our ignorance. We are always feeling that we onght to know more." But Sophia, happy girl!" has done.

We can not help thinking that a hundred dollars judiciously expended in books for Sophia and her brother Bob at the rtght time would have done more good than any two years of schooling.— It might have made them so thirsty for more that tber could never have finished.

We recall, now, an old Scotch farmer living on the high hills that guard the banks of the Ohio Kiverj Who has reared bine o!" teh children In a boUdtry neighborhood. Only ttfd or threfe of these were evter sent away to school. And yet it is a family of rare culture. All the men and women grown in that house arfe feducited itien and wotilen. For the old gentleman ke|)t a good library, lovba reading, and cultivated the love of reading in his children. The last time we crossed his threshold the place had grown lonesome. Almost all the children had gone out to honorable pursuits, and the white-haired patriarch was reaping in their careers the reward of his foresight in cultivating a taste for books.

Pnliitonar£ Eloquence.

Somebody once asketf Wen^fell Phillips what he thought of Henry^ Vincent. "Pulmonary eloquence!" was his laconic reply. Never having heard Mr. Vincent, and knowing Mr. Phillip's tendency to say bitter and unjust things, we can not feel sure that this description of the Englishman is correct, It is probable that the great American "reformer by profession" considers jll pratqry that ooes npt_ burn and blister like vitriol, ofiljf pulmonary —"sound and fury signifying nothing But the wordsare'characteristically felicitous, and aptly describe a sort of oratory very much in vogue. There are speakers who balance their sentences as carefully as Pope balanced verses, who choose sonorous mouth-filling words, and then say nothing—or at least .say nothing worth the saying* We have heard a city clergytaJin or eiiiihfefit FespetitaDility tfeetfcr up and down with a rhythmical pom{jds!ty, and an air that was oracular, for an hour. And yet, when he had finished, there was not one fresh idea. He evidently thought his platitudes of the utmost consequence, and uttered them in a way that might have impressed thoughtless people. But It was enly pulmonary elo quence after all. Sometimes pulmonary eloquence creeps lhto journalism. Sometimes? Creeps, did tffe say? Itdrivfes iti evety day in conch-and-four, with liveried outriders. People who can say nothing impressively, abound in columns-editorial. We picked up a prominent paper soon after the July riots between the Orangemen and the Catholics. An editorial on the subject started off thus: "A. street, whether in city or Country, is the property of everybody in.general, And of each individ^ cal in particular.1' This surprising state: ment sounds like a decision of the Supreme Court, but it tells you absolutely nothing that a fool did not know. But our wiseacre cackles over this piece of pulmonary eloquence, for he immediately adds "Such is the American id^a of a Strefet'M Wfc agree with him entirely.— We Can not question a statement so con: Clusivfe. Nolhirig is wanting to Its im^ pressiveness, but that he should forthwith proceed to tell us what the Eng: lisla idea of a street, "whether in the city or country," and what is the Fier.ch, and the German, and the Swiss, and _lhe Dutch, and the Polish, and the Finnish, and the Australian, and theTimbuctooan, and thelvaintchatkan idea of a street. But he contented himself with the American idea of a street, which was all one head would hold or one turgid articlc elucidate.—Hearth and Home.

tfpccint Dispatch to the Cineinilati 6*iMie.'f DAVTON, O.j Marfeh 10. Never was the. city of Dayton horrified with tnore startling news than that of today—a whole family, mother dnd infflst and two other .children, sent unbidden to another world by the. hands of an Unbaturai and insane father. The first scraps of the news came stealing into the city early this morning, and were regarded as the fictions of some excited narrator with- some dim basis of truth. They were too horrible to credit. Each additibhal rumor confirmed its forerunner, and still the enormity of the story was such that people refused to believe it. Incredible as was the story, it was true, and no words could do justice to the horror of tbe reality.

About four miles from Dayton, on the Covington pike, lived a German farmer by the name of Leonard Marquard. He had been in this country about eighteen years. It was his second wife, with whom he was livibg up to last night. About ten years ago ho separated from his first wife, and eight years ago he married tbe present one. By her he had three children, a girl r.ow eight yearsold, a boy six years old, and an infant six months old. Marquard appears to be fifty years old, but says lie is only thirty-six.

This m,orning, in response to the news of the murder, two policemen set out for the scene. On their way out they met a country wagoa in which were three farmers, having Marquard in charge. He was talking vehemently. The officers took him and lodged him in jail at Dayton.

At the house where the murder was committed, when it was visited this morning, Mrs. Marquard was found dead in bed, stark naked. She appeared to have been strangled to death. On the banks of a little stream about three hundred yards distant lay the body of an infant, naked, the back of its skull crushed in.

On the banks of the same brook, a couple of hundred yards from this place, lay the boy and girl, also naked and dead, as if they had been first drowned and then laid on the banks.

The story which the man himself tells is that a lew days ago he read a chapter to his family from the Bible, and then rising up, accused his wife of being a witch and using witchcraft. He says that his daughter, the eldest child, supported him and confirmed him in this accusation.

He says that last night he told his wife that he wanted their children to leave. He says that both he and his wife stripped stark naxed, knelt down, and prayed for ten or fifteen minutes- They then stripped the children, took them out, and drowned them—he and his wife did—and laid them side by side on the bank of the stream. TfapJ7 dashed, nnf tho bratus vc the infant, and left it lying in the woods, after which they returned to the house and went to bed, both still naked. After lying theie fifteen minutes he told his wife he wanted to send her to heaven also, and then he fell upon her and strangled her to death. Alter this begot up and prayed there alone until three o'clock this morning, when he went to the nearest neighbor, and told the whole story.

The house in which this man lived is a neat, two story frame, coarsely furnished Everything in the room where the dead woman lay was in unutterable confurion.

The children and their mother were all clothed and laid side by side in the bouse. To-day the Coroner will hold an inquest.

The excitement is intense. The neighbors say there was never any unhappiness between Marquard and this his last wife.

CINCINNATI, March 11.—A Chronicle special from Dayton gives the testimony before the coroner's jury, of Elizabeth, aged seven, and Habakuk, six years old. They testified that father and mother, after dark on Saturday night, hunted all the children, but they (two) hid. They heard mother lake two children, and father take the babe (here was a light, saw mother and father kill the threewith their hands. Father killed the baby first, then mother killed Leah and Samuel. They came into the house naked, and began praying to God in heaven. The children saw the three dead children on the ground, and mother and father naked. The two children were hunted for by the parents after the death of the three, but were not found. They got away to the straw stack at daylight, Sunday, and stayed there until found, in the afternoon, The skull of tbe babe, six months old, was all mashed in. Post mortems were had of the mother and three children. Examination still going on.

LOUISVILLE, KY., March 9.—Early yesterday morning, three negroes broke into the house of an old man of eighty years, named James McNiell, near Shelby City, Boyle County, brutally murdering hid by splittihg" his head

open

with an axe, and stabbing hifti ifl sevferill places. Their purpose evidently was robbery, as a large amount of money was in the bouse, but the villains were frightened away by the screams of the wife of the murdered man. Great excitement followed immediately after the crime became known, aDd search for the murderers was promptly organized. Two were arrested in the afternoon, and lodged In jail at Danville. They had marks of the victim's blood on their hands and clothing, and had a bloody knife, which corresponded with the wounds in the body. Last night there was a reported intention of taking the negroes out of jail to lynch them. Numbers of negroes gathered in Danville, armed, and paraded the streets, declaring they would shoot any one attempting to lynch the murderers, but were willing that they should have a fair trial, snd hung, if guilty. Great excitement prevails in the town and vincity. One of the negroes arrested is named Bpb Isaacs. Both were identified by the wife of the murdered man.
