The New Fuel and Illuminator. Applied science has recently added to the great inventions of the day a process for extracting fuel from water. The author of this process, Air. Ruck an English practical chemist, has real ized the old dream of scientists that the exhaustless heating power stored in water may be actually employed for mechanical and domestic purposes. This brilliant idea, which, it is claim ed, enables the inventor to set the Thames on fire, has been successfully tested and developed in the large works on the banks of the river near Battersea Park, and the process which it originated is extremely simple and easily put in practice. Ordinary steam is brought through a pipe from one of the boilers of an engine, and is allow ed to pass through a red-hot horse shoe-shaped tube, reposing in a fierce ly burning furnace. While in this tube the steam is superheated, so that its oxygen and hydrogen are ready to dissolve their alliance, and afterwards it is forced into a retort filled with in candescent coke and iron fragments. The oxygen is left behind and forms with the iron scales of black rust, the hydrogen passes freely through the red retort, and when, certain sulphur ous vapors have been disengaged from the residual gas there comes forth the “heating gas,” supereminently suited for all calorific purposes, where heat without light is demanded. It is ad mirably adapted for all kinds of stores and steam engine boilers. The cost of the gas at the works is found to be only seven pence for a thousand cubic feet, and this quantity would boil about fifty gallons of cold water. This cost, it is said, can be reduced by using the waste heat of the retort furnace to sup ply the steam, which is now supplied by an independent boiler. The distinctive feature of the Ruck process for making the new fuel gas is in the decomposition of the super heated flame by means of coke and iron, which remain for long periods in the retort without requiring change. Combined with this is also an arrange ment for carbonizing the heating gas for purposes of illumination. This is done by making it pass through oil, from which its carbon is received, and whence it issues an excellent gas, equal in illuminating power to sixteen candles for a consumption of five cubic feet per hour in an Argand burner. The cost of the gas, as used for light, is a trifle less than fifty cents per thou sand cubic feet. This invention, if fully developed, will set at rest the uneasiness on the coal question and work a world-wide revolution in the cost of fuel and light for all purposes. A Spoiled Conundrum. One of the best dressed and most brilliant young men in Chicago, who parts his hair in the middle, essayed to delight a select party of ladies and gentlemen one evening by a few flash es of wit. The most noticeable scintillation of his wit was a conundrum: “Haw—” said he, “when is a lady not a lady ?” Nobody could tell, and the pro pounder of the conundrum gave the answer. “When ahe’s a little buggy.” A dead silence fell on the company, and the funny man was the focus of many singular glances. He 80on became conscious that “someone had blundered.” So lie dived into a vest pocket, brought out a newspaper scrap, read it attentively three or four times and then brightened up. “Haw yes,” he said, “of course haw yes—haw —when she’s a little sulky. Know it was some kind of a wagon. I£<iunl Pny lor AN onion. President Grant promises hi* offi cial influence in favor of equal pay for men ami women for the same kind and quality of work done for the gov ernment. This makes him a practical companion of Woman's Rights, and entitles him to the homage of the si x in a far great* r degree than can lie claimed for anx of the rostrum-rattlers of the Woodhull, Anthony and Tilton jwr.su ision. There is neither sense nor justice in the practice now pre vailing at Washington, which gives a woman tiftv dollars a month for the same work for which a man receives one hundred or out' hundred and fif ty. The pa\ should be graduated ac cording to the work, and not acerduig to the sex of tin' worker. General Grant says this shall be cion* so fir ns he has the pow, r to have it done. When it is dou*\ wo suppose the suf fragists will claim th*' < v,-*lit of having brought it about; but the fact is. it • won!

L.” The history of “L. E. L.” is sadder than that of any other English poetess; for there is every reason to believe that her life was cut short by her own hand No woman of her time rose so rapidly to distinction. When a girl of eighteen, her verses in the Litera ry Gazette excited universal attention, and thenceforth till her death—a pe riod of twenty years—she was the bus i iest little woman in England. She i published volume after volume of po ' etry: she wrote two or throe novels, 1 and stories innumerable; she contrib . uted to all the annuals, and their name was Legion; and she edited an I annual of her own, and various illus ’ trated works for English publishers, i She wrote with great facility on all , subjects, but her favorite subject was i love, which she regarded as the one , passion which inevitably ends in sor- I row and death. “Oh love what is it iv this work! of ours 1 That makes it fatal to be loved?’’ i This is the key-note of all her poet ; ry. The story of her own love, if ; there was one not been told. It might j have been love which induced her to marry Air. Maclean, though it docs not look like it, and it might have ; been disappointment. If she married : in haste, she repented in haste; but she kept the secret, which is buried : in her lonely grave at Cape Court Cas tle. The stanzas below, which are not to be found, we believe, in the collect ed edition of her “Poetical Works,” are printed from her own manu script: THE HARTH’S 101 VISION I “The fair earth—it shall be for all- Divide it at your need;” — So in his high Olympian hall The starry Jove decreed. Each hurried at the mighty word: The merchant swept the main, The peasent drove the lowing herd, And sowed the golden grain. The hunter took the glad green wood, The soldier drew his sword; “I am,” quoth he “by title good A universal lord!” The miser’s wealth was little known, He hid it from the light; The king said, “take ye all their own, And pay me for the right.” When lo! the poet came at last— Pale watcher of the air, The spoil was shared the lots were cast — His only was not there. He flung him at the feet of Jove, And cried, “What wrong is done, To him whom thon wert wont to love, Thy true and favorite son!” “Blame thou not me,” the god replied ; Some land of dreams too long, When earth was given to divide, Has kept thee and thy song.” “I watched thy spirit s mighty law Control the ocean’s flow; I gazed forgetting in mine awe, All that was mine below.” “All,” said the god, “beneath my throne Is given—earth and sea; But the high heaven is still mine own, And there I welcome thee.” —L. E. L. From the Aldine. The Great Wall in China. Governor Seward, speaking of the great wall of China, which he examin ed during his late trip to the east ' says: The Chinese have been for at least two or three thousand years a wall making people. It would bankrupt New York, or Paris to build up the I walls of Pekin. The great wall of China is the wall of the world. It is , forty feet high. The lower thirty is of hewn lim* stone and granite. The modern carriages may pass each other on the summit. It inis a parapet throughout the entire length, with convenient staircases, butresses and garrison houses at evtry quarter of a mile, ami it runs, not by cutting down hills and raising valleys, but over the uneven crests * f the mountains and through their gorges a distance of a thousand miles Admiral Rogers ami : I calculated that it. would cost more I now to build the great wall of China, ! through its extent < r one thousand I miles, than it cost to build the tifty- I five thousand mil* s of raiiroads in the | United Stabs.

The Savannah Daily Morning News is acknowledged by the press and people to be the best daily paper south of Louisville and east of New Orleans. Carrying with it the prestige and reliability of age. it has ail the vigor and vitality of youth, ami its enterprise as a gatherer of the latest and freshest news has astonished its contempo raries and met the warm approbation of the public. During the year 1873 no expense of time labor and money will be spared to keep the .Morning News ahead of all competitors in Georgia journalism, and to deserve the flat tering encomiums heaped upon it from all quarters. There has, as yet, been no seri ous attempt made to rival the special tele grams which the News inaugurated some years ago, and rhe consequence is that the reader in .-earch of the latest intelligence always looks to the Morning News. The telegraphic arrangements of the paper are such that the omissions made by the gen eral press reports are promptly and reliably supplied by its special correspondents. The Morning News has lately been en arged to a »hirty-six column paper and this broad scope of type embraces daily every thing of interest that, iranspires in the do main of Literature, Art, Science, Politics, Religion and General Intelligence ; giving to the reader more and better digested mat ter than any other paper in the State. It is, perhaps, needless to speak of the politics of the Morning News' For years and years—indeed since its establishment — it has been a representative Southern pa per and from that time to the present in all conjuncture it has consistently and per sistently maintained Democratic States Rights principles, and labored with an ar dor and devotion that know no abatement, to promote and preserve the interests and honor of the South. The special featuies of the Morning News will be retained and improved upon during the ensuing year and several new attractions will be added. The Georgia news items, with their quaint and pleasant humor, and the epi tome of Florida affairs will be continued during the year. The local department will be, as it has been for the past year, the most complete and reliable to be found in any Savannah paper, and the commer cial columns will be full and accurate.
