(Edward King in Boston J ournall
Paris, March 5, 1878
If France had had the Republic ten years
earlier it would have had the electric light at
the same time. The system ‘of repression
which had bound the country 'down under
iron bands for half a generation was no sooner
definitely rejected than invention, education,
literature began to resume their normal at-
titude in the state. The revival of the arts
under the Republic has’ been nothing less
than marvelous. The papers are filled with
remarks on the amelioration in the tone of
the theater and of light writing. The French
people, under the old Caesar-ism influence,
,bigoted, fond of themselves and inclined to
be supercilious with regard to their neigh-
bors, have experienced a sudden change.
Books of travel are the most saleable of all-
publications. Scientific lectures are attended
as they never were before. Serious subjects
are not set aside as they were under the Em-
pire. The republican ministry is making its
influence felt every day. ' About three weeks
since Victorian Sardou's new comedy was
brought before M. Bardoux for the customary
clippings of the censor -before.it was placed
in rehearsal. The worthy minister was in-
formed that the piece bristled with political
allusions. 7 -
“Well, what of it ?" answered M. Bardoux.
‘ ‘Do you think I am presumptous enough to
criticise M. Sardou, member of theFrench
Academy, and master in his profession 7’ Not
a bit of it. Let us trust to his tact. Let the
piece be played as it is written.”
Everywhere in this old world, which was
so full of barriers, so hedged about with for-
bidding articles of law', liberty is-making her
way. The people whom we thought narrow
and frivolous are becoming quite as practical
as we ourselves can claim to be. ,They are
learning to carry gas and water into the top
stories of their houses; to'let anewspaper say
its say without being punished; and it will
not be long before they will talk about church '
disc-stablishment, compulsory education, and.
abolition of standing armies.
The French have long been our superiors
in the government and arrangement of large
cities. Paris is far better lighted, bettd'r
cleaned,better supplied with sewers, markets,
parks and everything tending to make life
pleasant, convenient and safe, than any Amer-
ican capital is, or is likely to be for some time.
Paris was due to the unlimited'power which
the Imperial Government possessed; but the
improvements are just as numerous, and the
magnificence is quite as thoroughly kept up
under the Republican regime. The people are
roundly taxed, but they know that the money
is well laid out, and they do not grumble. 9
The latest wonder of the “gay capital” is
the introduction of the electric light, mention-
ed at the beginning of this letter. Not a mo-
ment was lost by the republican authorities,
after they had seen the clever invention of M.
Jablochkoff, in adopting it for city purposes.
Under the Empire opinion was not so easily
gained in favor of a revolution in anything. A
method of lighting streets and shops, which
was likely to drive gas out of the market
would have had no chance in those days.
But now telephones, phonographs,pneumatic
dispatch and electric lights are freely wel-
comed. The result is that last Saturday
evening the Place de l’Opera was the
most magnificent spot in the world at that
moment. The intense white glow from the
electric burners directly in front of the steps
leading up to the Opera's entrance and scat- '
tered at intervals across the grand boulevard
to the avenue leading to the Comedic Fran-
caisc, made the spaces for hundreds of yards
around about as light as day. One of the
electric candles seems to give as much light
as a hundred gas jets Gas looks yellow,
muddy and petty beside this grand fire, which
defies darkness. For a 'city lighted by the
new process all the lt'l'l’tll‘S of midnight would
vanish. Burglars would find their occupa
tion gone. The usassiu would hnve’to sell his
stiletto. Vice of all kinds would either slink
away. or disgusted at the small rewards
which it would obtain when it could no lou-
ger walk in darkness, would endeavor to re-
form. I observed in -watching the maskers
entering the ball on Saturday night, that the
unaccustomed glory seemed to bring with
it a certain sense of shame to some of the
revelers. There was, for "instance, a tall and
very lovely woman, dressed in the costume
of a gallant youth of Raleigh’s time—sword,
cloak, hose—crossing the square as I arrived.
She seemed very ill at ease, glanced {quickly
from right to left at the long lines of people
witnessing her progress, and I felt convinced
that some sense of the humiliating absurdity
of her position came over her. If there had
been only the semi-obscurity of the square lit
by gas she would have made an entree gaily,
and mayhap would have gamboled merrily
as any of the mad spirits of carnival.
The illumination of the Place de l’Opera
has now passed beyond experiment. It will
be kept up steadily, and the authorities will
introduce the electric light in all parts of the
city as soon as they can, and now a few
words about its employment by private per-
sons and concerning its mechanism, cost, etc.
M. Jabloehkoff is a Russian, and in exile—
. I don't know exactly why. I believe that in
Russia he was [connected with the engineer
corps of the army. He has been in France
for several years, busily engaged since 1874
in perfecting his invention. In April of 1877
he was permitted to make a trial of it in the
immense shops of the Louve. If any Ameri—
can man doesn’t know where “Louvre" is,
let him ask his wife. It is a colossal estab-
lishment like the Bon Marche, a kind of mag-
nified Stewart’s, where one can buy anything
from a pair of swedisb kid gloves up to a
parlor set of furniture covered with Airbus;
son tapestry.
The gas bills in such a city are naturally
tremendous, and gas is hardly the proper
thing forlighting up beautiful stuffs and
showing their most delicate colors. The
electric light has been tried in France before,
but the difficulty was with the apparatus,
which was too complicated to be popular.
Various mechanism, knownas “Regulators,”
had been invented at much cost, produced a
light now and then shown only as a curiosity.
But M. J ablochkofl showed that with the
invention of magneto-electric machines a
revolution had been inaugurated in electric
fighting. The regulators are now, it is true,
used in certain vast establishments like repair
shops, foundries, etc., where no great
amount of nicely is required in processes of
labor; but they would not serve at all for
such places as the Louvre. The proprietors
of this last named place, charmed with the
simplicity of the Russian invention, adopted
it. In June of last year, experiments with it
were made at the West and East India docks
L
in London. The experiments raiseda verit-
able outcry among holders of gas stock,
which is perhaps the main reason why 'Eng-
“land has not already put the light into opera-
tion in many places. The gas company of
J ablochkoff's :revolution, and has given var-
ious estimates concerning the relative econ-
omy ofthe two methods of lighting, which
need not be regarded as strictly correct. M
Jablochkoff and his associates built a vast
manufacthy-in. Paris and went at work to
turn out machines. After 'a goodqdeal of
study-theylhave produced ‘an electric candle
which is-sim'plicity' itself,___and:which can be
introducedzanywhere. TheHall Marengo
next adopted the light: then the Figaro
advertisement, put two immense globes at
the entrance to its offices in the Rue Dronot,
and the constructors of the “Hotel Conti-
nental” adopted it to light their'labor by
n'ght.’ I .- . = . ,
The J ablochkoff apparatus claims two great
advantages-the suppression of the expensive
regulators employed heretofore, and advisi-
bilily of light produced by a single current.
But with M. Jablochkofi’s invention many
rooms in the same building can bc illuminat-
ed separately by menns of a single machine.
'Asto the price it is claimed that even' in the
most unfavorable cases, the price of lighting
by electricity 'is at, such a low mark that gas,
used’in the same proportions, but of course,
utterly incapable of producing the same re-
sults, would cost four times as much. The
economy is much greater in establishments
where a steam engine is already installed,
and where the expenses of installation are
reduced to the money for the purchase of a
dynamo electric machine, the fixtures and
the candles. As is well known, there are
numerous magnet and dynamo-electric ma-
chines’ among which the best are the Ladd,
the Seimens, the Gramme, the Alliance and
the Lantin. _
The electric candle used by Jablochkoff is
formed of two cylindrical strips of coal
placed one beside the other, and separated
bya peculiar isolating matter. The lower
extremities of these strips of coal are set in
two brass tubes, and these in turn are fast-
ened into a chandelier bracket. The strips
are bound so that they cannot fall apart.
'When the current is pasSed in the voltaic
arch springs into life between the two ex-
tremities of the coal strips, which burn little
by little by contact with the air. The iso‘
lating matter heats, melts, partly volatizes
and makes the space between the coal a good
conductor—far better than it is in the ordi-
nary’sy'stexn of lighting with the regulator.
The candle should be protected by an opaline
globe, as it is in most of the places where
it is used in Paris. The price of one of these
candles, burning an hour anda half, and
giving a light fully equal to one hundred and
thirty gas jets, is fifteen cents. All sizes of
candles can be furnished, and they can be
placed in almost every conceivable position.
One horse power of an ordinary steam en-
gine is required for each separate electric
light, er group of lights, that is, a force
equivalent to that must be supplied to the
dynamo-electric machine. '
Very extensive trials of the utility of this
curious method of lighting are to be tried at
the exhibition this summer. There will be
several night'festivals and on‘these occasions
the Jablocbkoff candle will flood the Camp dc
Mars and Trocadero with something very
like glory. I remember that in 1867 attempts
were made to illuminate the exhibition gard-
ens, but only a confused glare was produced,
.iablochkofi's candles render the smallest ob-
ject quite as distinct as in the day time, and
there is no unnatural glare about it. Iam
aware that there is some difference of opin-
ion on that subject. For instance, the other
day an Englishman who has been to Madrid,
and had seen the electric light at work in
the Puerta del Sol here, wrote an enthusi ls-
tic letter to the Times about it ; but another
Englishman who had seenthc same light in
the same place, did not agree with his com-
patriot as to the distinctness. There seems
however to be a conviction here that the
Jablocbkofi candles will come into general
use. Several American gentlemen living
here have been making a careful study of the
invention. For lighting railway stations,
hotels, tunnels, bridges, etc., it is already
perfectly adapted: it will probably be some
time before it can be_uscd in small rooms as
gasis at present employed.
COST or run ELECTRIC Llano—The vary-
ing estimates of the cost of electric illumina-
tion have been noticed previously in this
column. A statement appears in a French
paper to he effect that the alternate current
required for J oblochkoif electric candle
makes it about eight times as expensive as it
would be if worked by uniform current. The
cost for a light 1,000 candle-power is said
to be about 4 francs (80 cents) per hour. On
the other; hand, the Brush dynamo-electric
machine—an American invention——is repre-
sented as furnishing light of 12,000 candle-
power at til cents per hour. The estimate
is thus made for the work of the Brush ma-
chine and engine z—Fucl per hour, 100
pounds of coal 10 cents; oil, waste, etc., 2
cents; carbon burnt in four lamps, 16 cents;
16 per cent. on cost, for interest and wear,
3 cents; wages of engineer, 20 cents; to-
tal, 61 cents. Product through four lamps,
a light equal to that of 800 gas burners, each
of five feet per hour. Comparative cost of
light by gas, thirteen timesth of electricity.
It will be seen that the estimated cost of the
light from the Brush machine is one-sixteenth
of that from the Jablochkoif system. The
estimate of the latterfidoubtless comes from a
rival; that of the former from a friend of
the inventor; but the discrepancy is beyond
all explanation. '
Hannah de Rothschild sent her wedding
present to Lord Rosebery the day before they
were married. It contained a small gold box,
and in a separate envelope a pretty gold key.
No letter accompanied the gift or instruc-
tions of any kind. My lord, however, did
not hesitate as to the use of the key. He
opened the box. It contained the last check
which Hannah dc Rothschild would sign as
a spinster. Beautifully written in her ‘own
fair hand, it was drawn in favor of Lord
Bombay—$1,000 000 payable to his order.
Morphiomania has become a great scourge
in Berlin since the introduction of opium in-
jections as a relief from bodily suffering and
sleeplessness. ,Trades-pccple, merchants,
judges, barristers, soldiers, students, doctors
and clergymcn become the victims of the
habit, and when the medical attendants are
called in it is too late to counteract evil. At
first, these subcutaneous injections offer the
quickest and easiest means to allay pain and
bring rest to the sufferer. But to prove
effectual in its cure, the treatment must be
continued for a certain time; and during that
period the patient becomes so accustomed to
these skin injections that they become indis-
pensiblc. When the medical practitioner re-
fuses to increase the doses, the patient is un-
able to sleep or rest without the calming in-
jection, procures the necessary Linstruments
and applies the remedy himself. Sometimes,
also, even after the patient has been cured
without any undue doses,and when he should
dispense with the opium injections, he delays
doing so under the plea that they make sleep
and rest. so well. In fact, when once these
sub-cutaneous injections have begun, they
can he rarely left 05. Like drink, the appe
tile for them increases until chronic drunk-
enness ensues.
A colored woman down in Arkansas said
that her child was very sick with “majestic”
chills, and she feared that it was going into a
“melodious” fever.

and built upon the most approved plans. Its pas-
senger cars, while eminently safe and substantial.
are at the same time models of comfort and cle-

The First Loaf offline (1.
BY MM. 11!. A. m1)";
011! for a crumb from the maiden’lfirst loaf,
Baked in the houshold of beauty;
on infer a glimpse of thrifty young bride
Doing her matronly duty. ;
Shapelyfand white are the delicate arms
Bored for the requisite kneading ;
Slender the fingers that fashion and mould,
' " Showing the daintiest breeding.
See how the pretty one flutters, to’ think
How much depends on her venture;
Will she have praise from the one she loves
best ?
Praise, or a husband’s first censure?
There! the white lost is now {ally to bake,
Take it, oh! fire, fo-‘thy keeping;
Summon thy servants,bright'king of the flame,
Temper the heat round it sweeping.
“Done to a turn 1” cries a jubilant voice,
“Golden and brown like a sweating 1”
“But," and the merry wife ventures reply,
“Proof, dear, will be in the eating!”
A Panama Panasrnrax’s Payment—A
Boston letter to the San Francisco Gall says:
Many a woman has envied Miss Hillern’s
She is about five feet .three inches in
height, is straight as an arrow, has a fine
head,.broad shoulders. a good-sized waist——
and her limbs are fully, developed. Her feet
are perfect and quite small. requiring a two
and a half dress shoe, although her walking
shoes are considerably larger. Her stockings
for her long walksare carefully selected, and
without seams, and in putting them on great
care is exercised to avoid folds and wrinkles.
They are supported by elastic straps attached
to suspenders over the shoulders. Her walk-
ing shoes are of soft goat skin, laced high
about the ankle, and with broad and firm
soles and ldw broad heels. The shoes are an
inch longer than the fool, and allow all possi-
ble freedom.
While on the track she relics entirely on
beef tea and the raw yolks of eggs for nour-
ishment,’ and seltzer 'and prune water to
quench thirst. Solid food she finds cannot be
taken during protracted efiort:
One of her heartiest laughs is when she tells
of a gift received from a gentleman in Provi—
dence of a package of candy “to cheer her on
her last mile of her walk.”
She is, in the opinion of medical men who
have examined her, unusually free from physi-
cal defects, notwithstanding her long walks.
At the close of her recent walk of 350 miles
in six days shewas carefully examined by six
well-known physicians of this city, and they
pronounced her lungs ina state of healthy
and normal activity. Her respiration was
from twenty-three to twenty-six, and her
pulse was only eighty-six. When of! duty
Miss Hillern spends her time in making oil
sketches.

AN ATHLETIC Farm; 0N Han MoscLL—A
"Cincinnati Enquirer special, from Rushville,
April 3, says: The bastardy suit of Caroline
Bettie vs Miletus Hite was disposed of to day
by ’Squire Beachbard binding the defendant
in the sum of $200 to awaite the action of the
next grand jury. The plaintiffis only eigh-
teen years old, and very robust and plucky.
During the progress of the trial a witness
made a statement reflecting upon her char-
acter forl virtue. She immediately branded
him as a liar, and informed him that she
would knock him down if be repeated the
assertion. He repeated it, when she sprang
up like an infuriated» tigrcss and dealt him a
blow on the head that almost lifted him from
the chair. He attempted to .expostulate,
when she let fiy her left digit with such force
‘as to completely knock him out of time. Her
“dander” was now above the nineties, and
there is no telling what damage she might
have inflicted upon the terrified court, law-
yers and loafers had notomcers arrived and by
sheer strength marched her of! to a seat and
compelled her to cease hostilities.

Arnannrm+The cultivation of edible
-oysters,as carried on at Widtestable , Roches-
ter, and the Isle of. Wight, and above all, in
.the‘pyster pares on the west coast of France,
is, with the high prices realized by these bi.
valves; a very renumerat-ive enterprise. There
are, of course, many risks to be run, but in a
successfully conducted oyster farm the under-
taking gives wonderfully profitable results.
This being the case with ostrea adults, worth,
even at the present high prices, only two-
pence or threepence apiece, it is probable that
if the cultivation of the pearl-bearing_oyster,
or mussel, could-be similarly carried on, even
greater- profits would be secured. This at
least, seems to have been the kind of argu-
ment which has commended itself to the no-
tice of Lieutenant Mariot of the French
Navy, who has been spending his leisure hours
in the South Pacific in rearing the pearl
oyster in artificial reservoirs. His experi-
ments has been attended with such good re-
sults that he has actually induced his oysters
to produce what Mr. Buckland is so anxious
to see in this country—a “good fall of spat."
If not in England ,with the native oyster, at
least in the Pacific with its pearl-producing
cousin, “heat and tranquility” appear lobe
the secrets of success in the art of breeding
these molluscs. The next thing to getting
them to produce young is to induce the
.young to live and grow; and, finally, to
prevail upon the creatures to fulfill the great-
est aim—in man’s eyes—of their existence,
and manufacture gigantic pearls. The is-
land of Polnotion, in 0eeanica,is the scene of
M. Mariot’s experiments, and his success
has led him to induce some friends to attempt
the introduction of the Oriental pearl oyster
to French waters, and there to add a pearl
farm to the already flourishing industries
connected with the production of edible oys-
ters. The manufacture of artificial pearls, as
carried on by the Chinese and by skilled art-
tists in Vienna and Paris, it reaching so high
a state of perfection that is dfficult to detect
the difference between the real and the'sham
gems. But the trade has led to an increase
in the value of real pearls, and the man who
can produce actual gems on his own farm
may calculate on the immediate realization of
a fortune. '
EAT APPLES—It is many years since that
the father of a large family told us that he
saved nearly all his former doctor’s bills by
keeping a barrel of apples within reach of
everybody in the house, so that they could
at one time help themselves to an apple if
they desired it. We hope some'da to see
the “apple cure” introduced, and ave no
doubt that it may be asbeneficial as the cele-
brated "grape cure” in Germany. A writer
in a contemponry states that, after being
troubled wrth heartburn, wakefulness, indi-
gestions,.&c., he adopted a practice of eating
apples with each meal. It cured him entirely,
and ashis weight increased in two months
from 130 to 160 pounds, and he felt stronger
in proportion.‘

Too Soon.
Able, the enial assassin who has been re—
prieved fort irty days by the governor, has
made a fatal mistake. He was to have been
hung last Friday at Carthage, but some of
his friends imagined they had discovered
proof of his innocence, and sent a telegram
to Jefferson city, signed by influential men
in Jasper county as follows:
“New and startling developments in Able’s
case—positively true. Stay execution thirty
days and prevent the man’s life from being
wrongfully sacrificed."
So the governor granted a reprivefor thirty
days, but his order did not reach Carthag:
until Frtday morning, and Able, thinking h
last hour was near at hand, had made a full
confession of his crime late on, Thursday
night in the presence of several witnesses.
This was a fatal mistake, He should have
held his tongue—St. Louis Journal.
