Editors : Among the wonders of the present age that of a new light, is not the least wonderful or important. Ap electric light, that threatens to supercede gas or eil. It is in use to a small extent in London, and a writer who has seen it- gays that "the days, or if yon prefer, the nights if gas are numbered." The hitter Ht&uds now, ' in comparison with the gas lamp of that time. . "It is easy to read or dinary manuscript at night anywhere . within HOG feet of these lights, uud you can read the pages of a duodecimo- print ed volume as comfortably us by the light of the sun at dawn. This comparison comes naturally to the juiml, because the quality of this light singularly resembles that of the sun in the early morning. The street lighted by it looks like a street seen at'daybreak, and it is easy to understand Low the night-birds of Paris, for example, Lave found it impossible to ply their trades in the unnatural day it has created far them wherever it has been used in that city.. Obviously it is destined to be a sort of police torpedo in all great ci ties, changing nil the conditions of night life, and acting upon them who work in the darkness, and love it, as the opening . of highways through a wild country acts nrton a knvnrA iwnn1a Of it imniniliulA - 7 t " " ? availabilitr at t.P, c.n ,,n nrt nf . i question. It is the inevitableJight of the T tot;n ? s. ' future light-house all over the world." "' A great calamity at sea was prevented I a few days ago byjhe use of this light on "'.a large steamer, which iu a dense fog, would have run down an emigrant ship but that the light enabled the steamer to see the ship just iu time to avoid a colli sion. It requires but little space, com paratively ; is fed bythe electric current through flexible leading wires which can r be rapidly set or removed in almost any locality. It does not burn with au open flame, like gas, but can be surrounded by a glass globe; no pijws liable to leakage or explosion are required ; and the steam engine .which drives the electric motor may be placed at any distance : Conse quently there is almost absolute immuni ty from fire. Think of this fact in connec ' tiftri with the crowds which throng thear , tres and other public places, among whom aii alarm of fire produces a stampede, and women and children are trodden under ' foot. It docs not vitiate the atmosphere, like gas, nor materially raise the temper ature. , r 'The above is a condensed statement of a long account in a letter from London. Whether this light can ever be made avail able for domestic purposes, is a problem 'to be solved in the future, and probably in the uear future ; for there seems to be no limit to ihe ingenuity of nien injhis ge. Has not the suggestion been made that it is possible to "bottle up," so to " ftpeak, the heat of the summer sun, to be laid aside for warmiug our dwellings in winter! The idea may have originated r tfrpin tho housing of ice in- winter to cool the water in summer. Tlie reader may , kngh, but who will say1, in view of the wonders of the present century that ay tKj is impossible. V It is bad for onesto get sick, or to go to law, or to die in" this city, as the expense of these conditions is enormous. But I never heard till now how dreadfully the J- pr debtor or other unfortunate 'who gets into Ludlow street jail is fleeced. The keeper charges , sometimes as much as , twenty dollars a day for board, being four or five times as much as the Fifth Avenue ' Hotel, exacts. f 0ne man arrested on the rtrt at 11 o'clock at night, was taken to ' fcOyijid lorpfd that unless he pai4 $2 he would) boput into ft cell with ne-' groes. , He wanted a messengei:, to go for i his lawyer, and was charged two .dollars for that ; he then paid $7.50 for one night's board and lodging ; and the prison charges for that sing1e,night amounted to $13.50. No wonder that the keeper is being "haul ed over the coals." His extortion is be fore the courts, and if he be not made to 4 taste his own physic it' will be a crying idiame. . . . "H. - THE MEXICAN AND r LAUSr OTHEIl DOL- s r . A few months ago and the Mexican dol lar might have stood against . the world ; now there is none so poor as to do it rev erence. . When the Exist shipment arrived here last fall or winter,-the people jumped at it : they preferred it to the greenback fool far auoTMerei8 a weli-authenticsited case of one of our citizend who is of a spec nlative turn of mind having bought a con siderable , qudnty ot the coin front' the banks, at 100 'cents, and subsequently selling it readily to the uo initiated at 125 cents, thus making a very haudsome little profit. The Mexican money held out well until the Secretary of the Treasury want ed his circular declaring it not money but only merchandise and of value only as such. It descended then, in the scale of values to its real bullion worth, which was 90 cents and a fraction. Then a howl went np from all those who had taken the Mexican dollar for one hundred cents, not to speak of those who had ' paid an extra premium of 25 cents upon it. It was then in bad odor, and nobody wanted it even at 90 cents. To such an extent has this antipathy gone that the railroad and ex press companies have still further repudi ated this unfortunate coin and will not receive it now for more than 85 cents. These corporations having set the exam ple, there will be everybody to follow it, so that the Mexican dollar may be now considered as current in this community at this figure. Even at this it will begin to be a drug on the market ; it is under suspicion. Presently it will depreciate still further, and then somebody will be gin buying it np and shipping it to the mints to sell at 90c a piece for bullion, and then the Mexican dollar will hae ac complished its mission, having made mo ney both ways coming out and going back. Meantime they are bad and cum bersome stock. One of our city banks has $3,000 L worth of them. in its vaults now, and of course cannot pay them out to the people. ' The experience with the Mexican dollar has shaken the confidence of the nwre ig norant people in silver money of all kinds. This has been evidenced since another of one ofjour banks received a few days ago, $1,000 iu the standard silver'dollar. They view it with suspicion, for fear it will go down on them ; same way with silver mon ey of former coinages ; this, is especially true of the darkey, who; when he steps into a bank to get change for a $5 bill, wants it in jp-eenbacks and hesitates a long while before he can get the consent of his mind to take it in coin. The Mex '. v.: t j ir...4. i lca um,ar 1,118 . ' ican and it will take a long while before they get over it. Its one good effect j, however, will be to prevent them , from hoarding their silver in stockings, when it might be in : circulation, lieneflting themselves and other people. Charlotte Observer.

President White In the Tribune. "In Germany last winter, I had made the acquaintance of some earnest Social ists. From curiosity I attended some of their meetings. I heard much that was wild and absnrb, and what would bring society into chaos and despotism if realiz ed. Still, I am bonud to say the conduct of the people attending the meetings, and the general spirit shown, was very sensi ble and quiet. There seemed to be no mania for sensation or making a noise, or trouble. I am convinced that the Prus sian attempt to put down things by main force is a great mistake. If the govern ment weuld confine itself to punishiug violators of existing laws and breaches of order, and allowed liberty of discussion I am satisfied from the meetings I atten ded, the German people would eventual ly argue themselves out of what is dan gerous. The strongest hold of Socialism is Germany. France has in the main got through with it. Of course, the main in centive is the fearful pressue of the milita ry system. I travelled from the frontiers of France by easy stages, around to Italy, and then through Germany, and in every little town the most importaut business seemed to be the traiuing of nun to cut the throats of their neighbors. France is obliged to have a military system, and Germany, too ; aud that is the centre of the evil ; but the financial depressioh is almost unliearable. In Germany, there are few signs of a better outlook. It is curious that Germany, which had so much money poured in upon it after the Prussian war, should now le almost stag nant financially, while France, from whom the numerous sums were taken, enjoys apparent prosperity. I think tlfe prosperity of Fiauce, however, is due to the fact that she always kept in her financial administration men who were masters of the best knowledge that has been gained on finance and kindred sub jects. In this respect she has excelled everyother nation.Wx . Sleep the Best Stimulant.'

Bosnia is one of the most valuable pro vinces of Turkey. The population, orig inally, of the saute Sclavic stock, is divid ed only by differences of religion. They are a hardy, martial race, self-reliant, ac customed to vicissitudes of life, and pre pared for any emergency. The women are almost us masculine as the men. They have strongly marked physiognomies, are athletic in form, bold and intrepid iu bearing, and of tbe form of which heroic races are cast. Their beauty is of the sternest type, and yet it is commanding and attractive. The complexion is fair and free from blemishes, the eyes large aud lustrous, and the couuteuauce indica tive of both energy and good nature. When they love, it is with an intensity that brooks no control. When" they give their hearts, they expect hearts in return, and woe be to him who deceives them. Better that he had never been born. He becomes an object of hate to all her fam ily, and may be the cause of a perpetua tion of rendetta$ from generation to gen eration.

Stung to Dea th fcy Ben. Mr. Moses Hulet, of Shaftsbury, on re turning from church on a Sunday after noon, hitched his horses for a few mo ments till he could go over to one of the neighbors, some fifty rods distant; near two swarms of bees. He had scarely ar rived at the neighbor's house, when Mrs. Hulet discovered that the bees were sting ing tbe horses, and she gave the alarm. 4 Mr. Hulet and one of the neighbors, N.

One of them died in a few hours, aud the other is iu a precarious condition. Fortunately neither of the men were seriously iujured. The horses were sweating and hitched so that the wind blew from the horses toward the bees, which is supposed to be tho cause of the attack. Vermont Chronicle. Iiussian lied Tape.
