The Scientific American says that tlie
Illuminating power of rosin gas over
coal gas is as sto 3—and sometimes C
to 3.
This renders the price of gas in our
city ($7 per thousand feet) less exorbi
tant than many are apt to imagine who
compare the rates with those cities
where coal gas is used.
The Boy Pbbactiek. — The St. Louis
Democrat says of young Mr. Fulleb, who
is called the “Boy Treacher,” whose
age is hut seventeen years, that he has,
for the last five weeks, delivered in Ma- j
rion county fifty-four sermons, and j
had been instrumental in the conver-j
sion of one hundred and forty-four per- j
sons. He has been licensed to preach i
only about two months, during which j
time he has delivered upward of fifty
discourses, and two hundred and forty,
persons have been converted through
his instrumentality. It is said that he
never studies his sermons or makes any
notes, and frequently does not select
his text until he rises up in the pulpit
to preach ; and yet, it is said, no two
of his sermons are alike, either in point
of argument or composition. He speaks
most eloquently, and uses the most
chaste and beautiful language. Calls
to preach at various points are daily
pouring in upon him.
Georgia Items.
The editor of the Covington Type says

Getting op Steam. — Some of the con

mile grade, the heaviest on the Georgia

The “Central” boys will fmd tlie

THIRTY-FIFTH congress*
Washington, April 7, i
SENATE.
Nothing of general interest had tran
spired up to 1 o’clock.
A lengthened discussion followed the,
reception of the adverse, report of the
Committee of Printing against the print
ing of the eulogy on recently deceased
Senators.
Mr. Seward explained that his vote
in favor of printing was not influenced
by personal interest. Exaggerated fn

committee that all picture books would j

forty thousand dollars had already

favor of printing these eulogies.
Mr. Bigler preseuted_a petition from
Kansas, remonstrating against the Le

Mr. Doolittle presented a memorial

Mr. Brown, from the Committee for j

Mr. Otero introduced a bill for the
construction of a wagon and emigrant
road in New Mexico.
The House then went into Committee
on the Deficiency Appropriation bill.
Mr. Letcher said the Committee on
Ways and Means were placed in an em
barrasing position. They had been fir
ed on from the Democratic side of the
House, by some against all the provis
ions of tlie bill and by others against
particular provison. But all seemed to
concur in the conclusion that unless the
bill in its every provision canbe made
acceptable to them, they are prepared to
vote it down, and leave the Govern
ment without means for carrying out
the policy which it has inauguated.
He showed that the three millions of
dollars asked in anticipation of the reg
ular appropriation would enable the
War Department now to make cheaper
contracts for thetransportutionand sup
ply of the army in Utah than if delayed
till autumn.
A million and a quarter of the defi
ciency to be suppled by this bill came
as a legacy from the previous adminis
tration.
If the Utah expedition was improper
ly begun,as was said, why did the House
pass a resolution declaring that rebel
• lion exists there and subquontly pass a
, bill to furnish volunteers for the ar
my ?
It was now too late to urge as a plea
-for the defeat of the deficiency bill that
the President did not get the consent of
Congress before lie began reinforcing
' the troops in Utah.
Mr. Letcher then defended the bill

The debate was further continued on
various amendments.

Slnslble Talk,
1 Nmv York, April sth.
Dear Depress :—ln Saturday’s letter I
mentioned that 11. W. Beecher led tlie
exercises at Burton’s, during which he
stated that the old theatre, with its re
cent glorious associations, would be
used for noon day meeting no longer. I
forgot to mention that during one of the
Reverend gentleman’s stiriug exhorta
tions, he declared that he used the
terms “ Christians and Sinners,” and
didn’t like to say “Saints and Sinners”
like some brethren, for no one felt the
need of pardoning grace more than a
true Christian, and asked if any one in
the vast audience could be excluded
j from the rank of sinners? A well
| dressed man in the parquettc jumped
up and said, “I must be excluded, be
! cause lam free from sin.” Mr. Beech
er instantly replied with characteristic
emphasis, “ Then blessed be God, you
ought to have been in heaven long ago j
| —that’s more than I or any of the rest]
iof us can say. It is more than minis- j
j ters of Christ can say, and the sooner!
the Lord takes you home to himself the ]
i better. [Great Laughter.] I cannot
i say, nor would Ihe the man to not say,
] “Father forgive me my daily sins. We
j preachers preach too much, as though |
! we were too good ourselves, and don't ]
I keep religion enough for home con- ■
i sumption. [Clergy on the stage cried
hear, hear.] We may as well, returned
Beecher, make an open confession. We
have learned theology at the schools,
and we’ve been teaching it. like schcol
boys saying their lessons, arid the ordi
nation that many of the Clergy them
selves wanted was conversion. That
sounded like plain talk.— Petersburg Ex

Killed His own - Inter.
William Burnett one of the men en
gaged in the drunken row in town last
week, in which Marion McFarland was
shot, has since killed his sister, a few
miles East of this city. On last Friday!
morning, Sally Burnett the deceased,
: had taken from the said William a gun, j
with which it was feared he might do,
mischief, and had hid it. He followed
j her as she was returning home from the j
I house of a relative near by, and as they
] passed a new clearing, he took up a]
limb or pole about six feet long, and ]
using both hands he struck her with it
j on the head, fracturing her skull in a
] most shocking manner. She never ]
j spoke after receiving the blow, but lin- ]
. gered until about three o’clock on last
] Sunday morning, when she died.
Another sister,and some other per-,
sons, we believe, were in company with
them, and witnessed the transaction.
A reward has been offered for Burnett,
] but at the present writing he has not
i been apprehended. — Murfreesboro’ Mews.

I*T Wlt a t has 1 m pioveit
you so In appearance I—Wood’s Hair Re j
storative. What has given you such a youthful ]
look? Wood’s Hair Restorative. To what
j agency am I to attribute your increased b auty,
iny tb ar madam ? Sir, you are very corapli
i raentary, but 1 am indebted to Professor Wood’s
| beautiful hair tonic. Sir, since 1 saw you last
i you have grown twenty years younger, how is
jit? A fan, my dear sir; I am using Wood’s
| Hair Restorative. Why, my dear friend, vou
wore a scratch a year ago, and now you have a
splendid head of black hair, to what miracle are
you indebted ? Professor Wood is the miracle
man, his tonic did it. Jam told, madam, that
the nervous headache you were once troubled
with has left you? Yes, sir, by the aid of
Wood’s Hair Restorative. Such is the language
all over the country, and there hj no fiction or
imagination about it, reader. Wood's Hair Re
storative is an honest and truly mcdicin.il, as
well as scientific preparation, and ivill do all i
this. Try it and see il we are not correct.
Caution. —Beware of worthless imitations as
several ar>. already in the market called by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words Prof.
