Dr. B. Newsom, living near Nashville, was fa

Northwestern road. He was sitting on the same
reat with a man named Hobert Phipips, when the
latter quietly drew a knife, stabbed the doctor to
the heart. and then, ordering the train to stop,
lumped ot inato the woods before any of the pas
sengers knew anything of the tragedy.
The town of Napoleon, at the mouth of the
Arkansas river, is now under water, and bids fair
to be entirely destroyed by the encroachments of
the river. A few weeks ago the front wing of the
Ma ice Hospital at that place, being undermined,
fell with a crash into the river, and the remainder
is being torn down to save the material, and it is
believed that within a year at farthest the whole
town mill be swept away.
It is reported that Leverich, the absconding

were engaged, who, when detection became immi

It is a well known fact that the illuminating
gas used in this and other cities of the country i
of very inferior quality and the subject of con
stant complaint. Many expedients have been re
sorted to, both North and South, to correct this
great inconvenience, as well as reduce the gas
bills rendered monthly, but, until recently, with
little if any success. Several weeks age we
were visited by Mr.' Jules Brady, proprietor of
the patent of the " American Improved Gas
Light Company of Virginia " for this section of
the United States, who asked us to give a trial to
the improved carburettor of the company, lately
introduced in other cities. The terms of Mr.
Brady were so liberal that, although reluctantly,
we finally consented to his proposition, even in
the face of previous deceptions. The benefit we
have derived from its use, after a practical test of
over one month, amounts to an equivalent of fully
fifty per cent. saving on our gas bills. It be.
comes, therefore, our duty to extend a full re
commendation of the process of the American
Gas Company, and to advise our people to avail
themselves of the economy which they will de
rive by adapting the carburettor to their gas fix
tures. Without entering into the details of the
process by which the saving is effected, we will
state that the improvement consists simply in
passing the gas through a box contain:ng
a chemical preparation, which purities and
enriches it, and gives a better, softer,
mote hri.l .t and diffluive l;ght througha burner
cer.ncmirg three feet of gas per hour, than the
crude city gas through a burner consuming six
ft et; and it relieves the eyes from the constant
strain imposed by the latter article.
Where parties are satisfied with the amount of
light they now receive, it wi:l effect a saving of
twenty-flive per cent., in addition to having one
softer, nore ddiusive and leas injalous to the
eyes. Those to whom light is of more importance
than economy, can have it increased fifty per
Scont. at least, without a diti,,nal expense beyond
what they now pay and the cost of thecarbnrettor,
which is trilug.
The in:lmrovement is now in use in all the prin.
cipol newspaper oflices and p,.`tic institutious of
New York, ltichmond and other cities, and the
certificates of those concerns all agree that the
saving effected is at least t:ry per cent. In this
city Messrs. Dumonteil and Kuntz, the confeotion.
ers of ('anal street, and Mr. Jules Martin (of Vic.
tor', rittanrant', have used the carburettor for
sonic time past with the same favorable result.
In the case of Mr. Kuntz, we are Informed that
his gas bill has been reduced $lo00) within the past
eight or nine months, and the light in all cases
has been better.
Mr. Brady cane e seecn cevery day at his omce,
No. 35 St. Charles street, where he or his assistant,
Mr. Young, both moot clever gentlemen, will be
happy to give all the informatton that can be de
sired on tle subject, as well as exhibit practically,
by an apparatus which has been erected for the
purpose. the advantages to be derived from the
carburettor.
We repeat it. our people should avail them.
selves inmedliattly of this improvement. We at
test its value from our own experience and not
fr( m hearsay.
Before closing we cannot help reminding our
readers that the American Improved Gas Company
is a ounthern institntion, incorporated by the
State of Vi g!nia, and managed by some of the
Old Itominiou's most int!ue.tiol and respectable
citizens.

;Prom the Cork Examlre-. May 2
We are indebted to a private letter placed at
our dispoalal for the followitg ac2iouiit of a very
i:teresting event-the presentation of an address
to his holiness the pope by the foreigners soloarn
irog at Rome, and the answer of the holy lather
Ltereto. It will be peruned with interest by the
Catholic world :
"I must tell you about a most beautiful and.
touching circumstance that I had the great plea
sure of assisting at on yesterday, ;l"lth Apri').
As It was the fete day of the holy father, upon
wLich are commemorated his return frotem Gaet
aid his deliverance, truly n.i,a.'ulous, froIu, the
grave accident that occurred a lofew years ago at
-anta Angnese outside the walls, it was pro
posed to celebrate the day by presenting to his
holiness an address from the Catholic foreigners
now in Home. Accordingly, at twelve o'olook
abocut three hundred to four hundred gentlemen
assembled in one of the noble halls of the Vatican ;
I ne ver saw anlore elegar.taese:.elly, every person
in full dress or in uniform, of which latter there
were some very magnificent indeed, naval, mili
tary and cefitial; stars and orders, decorations
and ribbor.s were in abundance. Amongst the
unlorms were thoee of a deputy-hlout'nant,
and a lUighland chieftain with kilt, heron's
feather, etc. Thile holy father entered, attended
only by his four chamberlains and a few of
th Guarde Nobile. He was drcssed in his plain
white habit, and bore only the pect-ral cross. lie
looked wearied, but his manner was, as ever,
toble, benignant, and gracious, and his voice was
strong and nail-toned. The addresc, which was in
French, was beauntlully read by Count Benoist
I'Azey. It expressed the homage and devotion
of all present, and of the Catholic populations of
the different nations fromt which we -a:ne, to the
Ioly See, and to the Illustrious pontiff who now
a worthily and so nearly fills the chair of Ieter;
it congratulated the holy father noon his delhver
ance from recent perils, and upon the glorious
success of his arms, and upon the utter dis,'om
litureof his enemies, the erconles of truth, religion
acd of social order: it alluded to the systematic
movement throughout Europe in favor of the Holy
Iee, and of the generous enthu-ism with which
ro many of the Catholic youth fro;m all countries,
of the old and of the new world rushed to its de
fense : it spoke of the great nation that once again
replied to the call of filial duty, and placing its
banners before the Holy See, proclaimed aloud
that It should never, never become the spoil of its
eactileglous assailants, and concluded by praying
for the peace of the church, for its extension over
the whole earth, for the defeat of all its enemies,
for health and length of days to oar holy
and beloved Father, whose paternal benediction
was implored. The Holy Fa'her then rose and
said: "When I see myself aurround,-d by so
many of my faithful children animated by a fer
lent love of God, devoted to the protection of
hlis Holy Church, filled with zeal for its glory, and
anxious for the spread of the true religion. my
heart is filled with joy, and I may say to you as
the apostle said to the Corinthians: 'You are my
consolation and my crown.' I thank you for
sour love and sympathy in our recent trials, and
ir 3our attectionate andu devoted addire-s. It is,
true that God has, in His great mercy, saved us
from great perils, but we know well, and we say
to you in the fullness of our love, and without re
serve, the time of danger is not passed, at-I the
victory is not yet won. The powers of evil, the
enenmies of social order, the foes of religiina are
leagued against us, and those to whom we should
have looked with confidence for aid have not
teen faithful to us. The khildren have
Wlen ungrateful to their Father, and where
