sermon. The afternoon servioe was of
a speisl character. Two members of

The Electric Light-Sixty Per
rCwrt,CbeaperUut*«MH
It appears to be difficult to arritf
at the cost of tiling the electric
light, figures of estimates in differ
ent experiments varying considera
bly. In many manufacturing es
tablishments the cost of the power
to drive a maguoto-elcctrio machine
would scarcely be felt, as only two
or throe home power at the most
would be required. The cost of the
carbons is said to be less thus .five
cents per hoar per . lamp, on the
Jabloehkoff plan; another estimate
is about twice as much, but perhaps
refers to two lamps instead of one.
An electrio light which does not, ac
cording to the accounts, appear to
be constructed on the Jablochkoff
plan, tested in practical servioe at
Chapclie, France,* oosts, incl uding
motive power for the machine,
about twelve cents per'lamp per
hour. Machines capable of running
three lamps cost less than $500, and
porhaps that sum could be made to
coyer all the first outlay. The wear
and tear of tho machinery is not es
timated. A careful study of the
figures thus far furnished leads to
the bcliof that light ean be furnished
by electricity in France at about
two-fifths tho cost of gas; and as
tho price of gas in most American
cities exceeds tho price mJEurope,
it seems probable - that a similar es
timate of the comparative cost of
electrio illumination for this coun
try would fairly) apply.—London
Times.
The Confederate Archives.
General D. H. Maury, Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the
Southern Historical Society, has
lately addressed-a letter to the New
York Herald, in whioh he opposes
tho mean and narrow ruling - which
has hitherto undor political influ
ences prevailed, excluding students
from access to the important papers
involuntarily contributed by the
Confederaoy to the Archive', Bureau
in Washington. General Manry
urges that the time has come when
the curtain whieh veils the captured
archives in Washington can be rais
ed to, all who seek historic , truth,
and when a policy which has denied
to Robert E. Lee and other Confed
erates acoess to their own reports
can be abandoned. Such a policy
cannot fail to keep alive,sectional
bitterness, or be explained in any
other way than os a purpose to coo-
<*~al or pervert the truth of history.
Gen. Mauty contends that if public
money is to be appropriated for the
publication of the captured docu
ment*, representative Confederates
should be allowed to inspect tbe
originals of their own reports before
the publication of them, and' that
equal facilities for their examination
should be accorded to all oitizens —
It is to bo presumed that ibis reason
able suggestion will be urged npon
the favorable notice of President
Hayes by the Southern delegations.
