The Electric Light of Paris.

scems to have delighted ‘the scientific visitors to Paris more ‘than the progress made in electric il- ‘lumination. Mr. FL I. Pope, in des- cribing his impressions in the Journal of the Telegraph, says: “When in the ‘ourse of my tirstevening’s stroll along ‘the boulevards of Paris, 1 came sud- denly upon the d: azzling spectacle of the electric lamps w hic ‘h encircle the ‘Place del’ Opera and extend for halfa mile alone the Avenne de |'Opera to ithe Palais Royal, I was struck with surprise and admiration. The etiect Was surpassingly beautiful. There are rat the present time some 300 electric lamps nightly in suecesstul operation, jiiluminating the boulevards, gardens and public buildings of Paris, and ar- rangements for lighting all the prinei- pal boulevards and plac es are now in progress. The magneto-clectric ap- paratus employed is a gramme ma- chine arranged for producing alternate eurrents. ‘he candle employ ed is the double carbon construction ot Jabloch- kotf. Owing to the peculiar arrange- ment of the alternating machine it is possible to divide the currents so as to furnish sufficient electricity to sixteen or more separate candies, That this system, in a scientific and practical view, is literally a brilliant success is sufficiently evident to any one who like myself has carefully watche] its oper- ation night after night in the streets and public places of Paris. The qual- ity of the light is pure, soft and white, one general effect being not unlike that an unusually pow erful moonlight, a differs from the latter in the absence of the heavy black shadows. These are avoided partly by placing the can- dies in globes of opal glass, and partly by placing the lamps at a considerable elevation above the ground, perhaps twenty feetor more. That the system is equally successful in an economical point of view, in some of its applica- tions at least would. seem to admit of very little deubt. Itis possibly prem- ature to assert that it is destined speed- ily to supersede the employment of gas for all purposes of public and general Hlumination on a large seale, vet it must be said that such a result seems to me exceedingly probable.” Profes- sor Silliman is equally enthusiastic over the magic effect of the illumination, but differs from Mr. Pope in believing that the clectric light will not displace gas for domesti¢e use or for common street lichts.

Ona the arrival of a train at Hamil- ton, Ontario, last Wednesday a man was found stowed away on the trucks of a sleeping car, in which dangerous pos- ition he had rode from London, a dis- tance of 85 miles. He said his name was Lennox, and that he was on his way to Buffalo, N. Y., where a telegram had informed him his wife was lying at the point of death, and being deter- mined to get to her, had adopted this means, not haviog money to pay his fare. A seareh ot his person showed ‘that he had but six cents. The slight- lest change ot position on his part or the least obstruction on the track wonld have killed the poor fellow.

lor the last few Years the hog r chol- era has raged in Central Hlinois incess- antly, m making a loss to the farmers and others of $200,000, A few days since a peculiar kind of beetle appeared in great numbers in DeWitt county, which the hogs devour with a voracious appetite. Most cholera hogs are get- ting well from eating them. The peo- ple consider them a God-send. What they are and where they came trom is a mystery. They are fast spreading over the ccuntry. ‘The farmers are in hopes that they will effectually subdue the dreaded disease.

The Seductiveness of Interest.

The seductiveness—one might almost say the fascination—of interest got or to be got from imoney is very remarkable. Ordinar- ily, people who have not had money at in- terest care very little about it, indeed, never think of it. But after they have had inter- est —have familiarized themselves with the fact that money is worth something—they very rarely forget it, or fail to act upon it. Capitalists, whether big or little, almost never allow any amount ef money, however small, to lie idle. They invest and rein- vest as fast as they get anything, and rich men in business are on this account quite as likely, if not wore likely, to be short of cash as men of ordinary means. It is this habit of wind, doubtless, which, among other things, makes men of capital more unwil- ling to part with any portion of it than men without capital are to let what they may chance to have on hand slip through their fingers. The former mentally cal- culate the interest of every amount; the latter merely consider the sum itself.

Large capitalists often feel poor, not from any losses they have sustained, but from their inability to invest surplus funds in such stocks or property as they approve. The instance of the wealthy New Yorker who refused to contribute to a worthy charity because he had a quarter of a mil- lion of dollars on deposit in diverse banks without interest sounds like satire; but it is illustrative of his class. Up to a certain extent, within what is known as legal rate, interest is of reciprecal advantage to the borrower and the lender,and isa well regu-

lated feature of commercial law. Carried toa high figure, made usurious, interest interest debauches and -demoralizes, as

hundreds of men, originally just and un- extortionate, have found. After getting 10 per cent. for some time they want 15; after getting 15 they want 20, until at last the spirit of the pawnbroker entering into them, they are absorbed and controlled by the passion of avarice.

Jt is singular, too, how alluring interest is to persons in the humblest circumstances, particularly after they have had the pleas- ure of receiving it. To have a little money working for him, working when he is asieep or at rest—so he is apt to put it—captivates the fancy of the working man, and very naturally because he does not understand it, because it is a mystery, renders the thing more alluring, and increases his satis-

faction. He is likely to value two or three dollars which he has gained an interest

more than he would twenty or thirty that he has earned by labor. Money earned dignifies him; interest on money puzzles and se luces him.—N. Y. Times. wail -olhikede-c aanlcldied

IsnaNpeRS Aproap.—From the Doimeiion Press, published in Oakland, Cal., we learn that Mr. Jonas J. McKinnon, formerly of Melrose, P. E. I., who, for the past ten years, was in the employ of Messrs. Preston & McKinnon, has purchased a large lumber establishment, and is now carrying on a business in that line. We wish Mr. Me- Kinnon possible succes, and hope to be able to chronicle his well doings at some future time. From the same paper we also learn that Mr. Edward Robins, son of John

Robins, Esq., of this city, tegether with Mesars. McKinnon, Douglass and Me- Kenzie, ail Islanders, have purchased

sugar plantation in the Sandwich Islands, and from all accounts are likely to havea good crop. We feel pleased to make those announcements, and hope to be able to notice more suecésses which we sincerly hope they will meet with.- -Hereld.
