The first public application to prac- ical use of gas for illumination was made in 1802. In 1813 the streets of London were or the first time lighted with gas. In 1813, there was built in" Waltham, Mass., a mill, believed to have been he first in the world, which combined ill the requirements ot making fiinish- ed cloth from raw cotton. In 1790 there were only 25 post jffice* in the whole country, and np to 1837 the rates of postage were 25 ^ents for a letter sent over 400 miles. In 1837 wooden clocks commenced U> be made by machinery. This ush ered iu the era of cheap clocks. About the year 1833 thc-first rail road ef any considerable length in the United States was constructed. In 1840 the first experiments in photography were made by Daguerre. About 1840 the first express - busi ness was established. The anthracite coal business may be said to have begun 1820. lo 1836, the first patent for the in vention of matches was granted. in 1815 the first telegram was sent Steel pens weie introduced for use in 1803.

MONA PAUL DU CHAILLU’S ADVEN TURES IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS—A MODEL PEOPLE AMD THEIR * DEMOCRATIC KING. Mont. Paul B. DnChaQln lectured in the Bev. Dr. Doryea’s church, Brooklyn, on Thursday, He said that be grew tired of the equator and went to 71 degrees 50 seeconds north lati tude, where for three months the sun not set Ht continued: The Swedes and Norwegians are fine peo ple ; the country the grandest I have over travelled in. There are eviden ces that it was once covered with ice. The mountain rocks are smooth from this cause, and the valleys show the effects ot ice floes. In May, Jane and July the sun shines all the time. It is a slander to call the Scandinavians barbarous. They are civilized—all road aud write. They are compelled by law to attend school. Their reli gious faith is Protestant They esteem their churches highly, and re vere their graveyards. When a man dies his body is interred iq a grave yard, if it has to be carried one hun dred miles. The people are honest aud moral. I was never robbed of a cent, though witli them three years; why, the women put their jeweby in my room to show they were. • / NOT AFRAID OF ME. When in Stockholm I had a desire to see the King, so I wrote to the Se cretary of State. I was politely informed that his majesty had gone visiting, but would return in two days. When he arrived, I was invited to call ou him. 1 went to the palace ex pecting to see soldiers, infantry, .cav alrymen and artillerymen; but there was only one soldier, and be did not even ask me where I was going, or what I wanted. I went up stairs un challenged; and at length inteceplcd a servant by whom I was directed where to find the King. “Good morning, M said he. “Good morning,” I responded. And this was our introduction. In less than three minutes he asked me to have a cigar, and then showed my books, which had been translated. I felt proud; it was an honor to have them in his language. He asked mo to como and spend the next day with him. I went and roamed through the palace in search of its owner. Finally I halloed, ”Ia there any one about?” and succeeded in arousing some one who pointed me to a room. I entered it, and fonnd the King just putting on his coat He hdfc been at work pain ting. I was hospitably entertained. When about leaving I requested some of his portraits to give to the girls in Brooklyn. He pleasantly complied, writing on them, at my solicitation, his autograph. “Now,” said he laugh ing, “you must send me some portraits of.Brooklyn girls.” I thought he was. A SPLENDID MAN. Reaching the seventy-third degree, you meet immense forests of fir and pine^-These forests are the wealth of the land. The people arc farmers of democratic ideas. Land owners worth half a million have their servants eat el the table with tbem. Iu the cities this custom is not allowed, and you find chignos and crinoline, as jou America. Travellers are always welcome. The citizens generally speak French, English and Gorman. I find that th6 horses wont carry you up hill. When they reach the foot of one they look around to see yon quit the carriage, if von don’t they stop. The people are never in a hurry. I went into a church and saw a dub lying on the pulpit I en quired its use. “When my congrega tion get asleep I pound on the pnlpit with that to wake them,” was the an swer. There was also a polo eight to ten feet long, which, I was told, the sexton kept to poke into the ribs of sltepers for the second offence. I can,t understand how they gel asleep. The seats are uncomfortable, about six inches wide, straight in the back, with narrow ridges to keep your heads straight, and they never have fire in the churches, although the thermom eter does stand forty-five degrees be low freezing point Their Sundays last 24 hours 'beginning on Saturday evening. Sunday after noons are devoted to dancing. The Scandinavians drink and get druuk, bat they don’t have the tremens, quarrel, nor fight The worst they do, when intoxicated is to KISS ALL THE GIRLS THEY MEET on Uie streets. There are church yards six hundred years old that have no tombstones. The people are exceedingly leligions. Every house has a Bible or a book of psalms, saw numbers of men and horse-back loads of good things going into a boose one day, and concluded it must be a wedding. “Where is the bride?” I asked. “ Tian’t that,” was answr-ed. "The man has lost bis wife, and they are holding the funeral jollification.” These jollifications are continued tor days. At lastl got lo the Land of the Mid night Sun. I watched it throughout the first night and remained there nearly seven weeks. It bothered me to know when to go to bed. I discov ered the birds retired at 11 p. m. and got np at 2 a. m. Some of the farms have as many as forty-five booses. There ara booses for cheess, sod (or butter, and this thing az»d that thing- I don’t know what all, form has two dwelling houses one for winter and another for summer. Houses can be rented for five dollars a year. work*. There are no markets; nothing is sold. Whoever has more than be waatpibr himself he gives it to whoever needs it; the people are healthy. They do not have 'consumption, and yon never seean emaciated form. You nev er tee a beggar either. H too poor to live) they are too proud to beg, and 'BOTMEAH ENOUGH TO STEAL. Thp wbsisiance is soar milk, coarse bread, meat twice a week, and fish. At length I reached 71 degrees 50 minutes, the espe, the northern end ofEmopo. The coast of Norway is magnificent its harbors lined with steamboats; its mountains, high and grand, are coverd with glaciers; its waters so clear that the bottom of the sea is discernible. Sweden bears no comparison to it Grog-shops are one hundred miles apart. They bnv whis ky by the quadtiiy, and keep drunk while it lasts. Courtship and marriage aft peculiar institutions. I saw one match made. He met her at the gate and poked his"fingers in her ribs, and Ksid: “1 want to gel married, don’t yon?” “Oh, I don’t know. Go away.”— '•Yes, ypu do; let’s get married.”— Well, ask pspa.” “No, never mind him, we’ll get married anyhow.”— And he went around telling everybody he saw, “I’m going to many that girl*” The preparations continued daring the three weeks required by law to have the bans published in the church es. Fishes weie caugh% stores lor the feast laid in, beer brewed, and whis ky purchased. Wedding jollifications are indulged in for a week. This couple were married. They went from the church to the house and the brides, maids locked the bride in her room. The groom, KNOCKED AT THE DOOB. “How much will you give to come iu?” “Two cows, and $5.” “That’s not enough.” “Three cows, aud 810.” Oh, you rich; you must give me more than that.”Five cows and* 825 was the final offer, which was accepted In writing to a lady you do not use the name, but address it to her father like this: “John Jones’ daughter,” and add the name of the farm Many have the impression that Lapland is dark in the winter, but that is an error. The country is il lumined by northern lights every night I wanted to see the Laps and drive a reindeer. They, can go fifty miles an hour for two hours daily.— The sledges are narrow, have an os cillating motion, and one unaccus tomed to them will tumble out in al! directions. You drive with one line only; that reaches from the animal's horns, and Is lied around your arm.— After you get pitched out, the rein deer stops when he Is tired of drag ging you through the snow. Some times they BOUT FACE AND BUCK YOU OUT. And not unfrequently periorm that Uak by kicking. I was keeled out by a kick and snatched along two hun dred yards at the rate of nearly a mile minute. We drove to an acquaint ance who owned 4,000 reindeer. 1 enl into his tent and found men, women, and dogs and other animal* sleeping together, and I found so many fleas there that I took my bag and went out to sleep iu a snow bank. Ail the Christians read and write.— hey wear snow shoes ten feet long and four feet wide, and go sliding about in a comical manner. The journey from New York (o Christiana can be made in twelve days. I wonder more tourists do not go there. The summers are warm, the winters are cold but charmingly healthy. The holds cannot- he sur passed and their charges are very moderate. The New Baby Washer.—The Pall-Mall Gazette is a firm believer in the story that an invention is read} for parents which acts as follows:— Yon simply Insert the begrimmed and molasses colored infant in an orifice, which can be made of any required size. By turning for ten minutes a cog-wheel with electric attachments, the child glides genUy down a highly polished plane; his lips are met at iu terminus by an India-rubber tube/rom which the infant can draw lacteal nourishment. While in this compart ment, which Is lined with plate-glass mirrors, the perturbed spirit of the inftnt is soothed by iu frantic efiorU to demolish its own image, reflected in the glass with a nickle combined teeth-entter, nail knife, rattle, and tack hammer, which are thrust into the baby’s hand by an automatic monkey. Fatigued by iu destructive efforts, the infant falls asleep, while the organ attachment plays softly the melody of “Pot Me in My Little Bed.’ Then it slips into the third compart ment. - Here the baby is washed, Another small tube administers a dote of toothing syrup, and the infont glides from the machine, ite pared, IU hair combed, ready for the habiliments rendered necessary by the foil of oar first parents.

A Boston man waa earring an edi tor ths other day when he fell dead.— Several similar Instances have been reported. Men should be careful in speaking of anything sacred. The Danbury News states that a New Haven editor spent last Sunday in Slawson and attended church.— When the contribution-box came around he was in a doze, but, on be ing nudged, hastily exclaimed, ‘I have a pass.’ Truss Off.—Owing to a recent change in the schedule on the South westen railroad, (night line) no trains will ran on either Tuesday, Friday or Saturday night Busi ness men and travelers should make a note of this. Ataparty, the other evening. Smith, the funny man, picked trom the flw>r some false hair, and, holding it aloft, wickedly asked who had lost it Im pulsively the bands of every lady within ear-shot went to her back hair. It was erne! to throw them off their guard and expose them so, bnt Smith says it wasn’t his fault. Some chap oat West, who has evi dently‘been there,’says: ‘After sever- il years uv reflation I have come to the konklusion that the three roost diffikult things in life are—1st Cairy- in* armful of live eels up a steep hill without spillm’ an eel; 2d Aklin’ as a referee at a dog fight without gi-ttin’ mad; 3d. Edditln’ a newspaper. Getting to Bleep.—We have tried many experiments to induce sleep. The very best method we have yet discovered is that of counting.— Breathe deeply and slowly (without any straining effort,) and with every respiration count one, two, three, etc., up to a hundred. Some persons will be asleep before they count fifty in this manner. Others will count ten, twenty, -or thirty, and then forget themselves and cease counting. Very few persons can count a hundred and find themselves nwako; but should this happen, repeat the dose until cored.—Science of Htal h. A dutchman who in a fit of passion was swearing terribly, was reproved by a church deacon, who chanced to over hear him. ‘Why do you swear so, Hans?” Raid the deacon, ‘don’t you know that it is very wicked?’ ‘Yaw, I know it was wicked.” *Do you know,’ said the deacon, anx ious to sound the depth of his religiou’ teachings, ‘do you know who died to *ave sinners?’ •Yaw,’ said Hans. ‘Cot died to save ‘Not God, exactly, Hans, but ibe sou of God.* ‘So!’ exclaimed linns, a new light hi caking in upon him; ‘vositono of de poys? 1 tiuks all de \i)e it vas the old inmn.’ A Tribute to Confederate Sol diers.—The New York Sun, in tak ing strong grouod against the increase of the United Slates army, compares the material of the Union amy during the late war with that of the Confed erates, and says: “The quality ol the Confederate soldiers effectually disposes of the plea that it is necessary to keep the regu lar army as a nucleus. On the Union side was the entire rank and fl!o of the old army. Of that force the rebels had only officers. The Confederate rank and file was composed wholly of raw men, and, in the first two years of the war, volunteers. Yet what an infantry they were! Those of os who saw tbem charge in line ol battle nev er approach a Confederate cemetery without taking off oar bats in homage to the devoted braves who ever walked straight into the jaws of death with out blenching.” Garpentfeis* wages are fonj-fiva ceato t dare not so a*uch as opta «nfjr water* •iBftMdjKtbigritnte Smrttfr'ugaxmte.
