SEWS ITEMS.
A Gueious astd Serviceable
Intention.—3Jr. H. X. Wright,
a native of isorfolk, Virginia, but
now Superintendent of the Mem-
(Tenn.) Gaslight Company's
works, has invented an improved
attachment for lighting alarm
clocks, and also two burglar
alarms, both of which inventions
are mentioned in very favorable
terms by the Avalanche of that
city, from which paper we obtain
descriptions of the same. Of Ihe
alarm clock the Hvalanche says:
kiBy a very simple wire spring a
match is lighted and moved with
unerring certainty to the wick of
a candle, lighting it as well as
could be done by a person's hand.
As soon as the alarm strikes the
match ignites, and then the candle
is lit.^ The invention can be made,
and profitably, at a price not ex-
ceeding * one dollar, and without
additional expense is readily at-
tached to any clock.
The burglar alarm is thus de-
scribed: It consists of a drum
eight inches in diameter and three
and a half inches deep, containing
any desired number of "alarms,"
that are worked by springs and
wheels. With lour alarms this
--instrument runs two minutes, dur-
ing which time sufficient noise is
made to terrify the burglars, or at
any rate to wake the sleeping in-
mates of the room or house they
may have entered. The drum has
above it a battery containing a
pack of fire-crackers, which are
set oft' by means of a match, the
ignition being caused by an infal-
lible arrangement. This alarm
can be made and sold at a cost
not exceeding fonr dollars.
Another ingenious device consists
of a box two by tliree-and-a-half
inches in size, and charged with a
l>owerfal battery of springs, which
at the slightest mot ion of the door,
on which it hung by means of
tacks or screws, makes a noise
equal to a clap of thunder, and
continues its reiterations a minute
or more. Another alarm box'in-
vented by Mr. Wright is a similar
box four by three inches in size,
and in addition to the springs,
surmounted by a batten' for ex-
ploding a pack of fire-crackers.
The inventor has applied for pa
tents on his invention, and pro-
poses starting in Memphis a fac-
tory for their manufacture.
Dubuque, Iowa, June 29.—At
Marion, Samuel Hughes and Dr.
Phillips, arrested seme time ago
for procuring an abortion on Mrs.
Sarah Hughes, wife of the former,
thereby causing her death, were
yesterday indicted by the Grand
.Jury for murder. Hughes
also indicted for bigamy, with
clear evidence of guilt.
Cedar IvATIDS, June 29.—The
Jailor of Tipton, Iowa, was shot
yesterday in the breast by a pris-
oner named Chas. Castello, and in
turn shot Castello jnst above the
elbow. Castello entered the Sher-
ift's office, stole the keys and con-
veyed them to a burglar named
Crawford. Castello was captured
' by the Sheriff.
Little liocx, Ark., June 28.—
Hon. Joseph Brooks, in his speech
last night at the Girard Opera
House, wound up by asserting his
confidence that the courts will de-
clare him elected Governor, and if
they do, he said he would, if per-
mitted, take peaceable possession
of the Gubernatorial office; other-
wise he will use force to obtain it#
A Western inventor has con-
structed an automatic writer. The
operator sits before three or four
rows of keys, marked with the
letters, figures, and punctuation
marks, and upon "pressing one of
these the letter is instantly record-
ed on a sheet of paper. Speed to
the extent of fifty words per min-
ute is said to be easily attainable,
which is, perhaps, twenty words
more than a rapid long-hand writ-
er will average. Greater speed,
y i ejfter ease, and greater legibility
would 'seem to recommend the in-
vention as one that may become
JsVery serviceable to over-worked
ajjaankind.
Discovery in Wood Paper,
Manufacture.—Burleigh writes
o. the Boston Journal as follows
•-A young man of this city, a son
of a clergyman, has brought to
light an invention that promises a
fortune to himself and great ben
efit to the community. The m an
u Siictore of paper from wBod is
carried on to a limited extent.
There are only certain kinds of
ood that can be used for the
ire of P9i>er, and the
lioaterial makes the
J*'
paper very high. By the discov-
ery I have alluded to paper can
be made out of any of the hard
woods, while a pulp from the
Southern pine makes a paper at
once tough, handsome and cheap.
The sap is extracted by steam, and
the process of making the paper is
very simple and inexpensive. Pa-
per men say that the invention
will revolutionize their trade."
Sensible.—The Cincinnati Com-
mercial has the audacity to-re-
mark: "We" shouldn't wofider
ft* telling the truth about the Re1
:an party will kill that party;
intend that it shall die. It is
impression, however, that the
persistent refusal of the Demo-
cratic party to be buried will keep
sufficient vitality in the Republi-
can party to run it several years.
Both of the great parties—the Re-
publican and the Democratic—are
abominable. So long as both re-
main, there is but a melancholy
chance fof a choice of evils.
One of the most curious exhib-
its * forwarded to 'Vienna, is a
model of Paris in pasteboard, and
measuring twenty yards in cir-
cumference ; it is a faithful copy
of the capital before the Commun-
ists changed its features or the
Germans its suburbs. Each pub-
lic building is distinctly shown, as
also the chief streets, and the fort-
ifications look as large as life.
The Masonic fair recently held
in New York, netted over $52,000
to the building fund of the Order,
An American who has spent
most of his time in Germany since
the close of the Franco-German
war, writes to a friend in this city
that, from his observation of af-
fairs, Republicanism seems to be
rapidly gaining ground among the
Germans, and since it became evi-
dent that the health of the Em-
peror is declining, and that it is not
likely he can serve in the present
capacity a great while longer, the
advocates of a Republican form of
government have been quietly agi-
tating the subject of "a'change
from the Empire to a Republic, in
the event of the death or retire-
ment of Emperor William.
During a recent visit to New
.Orleans, a friend informed us, says
the Meridian, Mississippi, Gazette,
that a lady who was a large prop-
erty-holder, desiring to get money
enough to pay her taxes, author-
ized her auctioneer to sell a de-
sirable and comparatively new re-
sidence, which cost her $25,000.
fhe auctioneers were] instructed to
let it go for $5000, it no more was
offered. After a thorough adver-"
tising, the place was put up for
sale, and did not bring $5000.

OFFICE OF THE DAILY MEKCCKY. I
i'iUtfAwPi . Utfil' July 3, 1873. f
The country papers bring us cheering intelli-
gence iu regard to the growing crops compared
with the reports prevailing dnring the past week.
Cotton, it was generally thought, would fall to half
a crop. Indications are now that the falling off-
if any, wiU be very slight.
Gold remains about the same. The Confirma-
tion of the Sale of Ten Millions Five per Cent. U. S.
Bonds to Bismark will operate greatly in our
favor. "With the exercise of a wise and liberal
policy in our Treasury Department, the approach
of the hard money era is not far off.
The question of labor is gradually being settled.
! Prom January 1, 1873, to June 30, 21,477 immi-
grants have arrived bt the port of Galveston, 2,595
of whom were from. Europe. The variety of our
soil and climate, and the high priccs which trained
labor commands must draw many more of the
better class of immigrants to the State, while farm
labor, always in demand, will naturally seek a
home where the laws are so beneficent to set-
tlers. This, combined with the civilizing influ-
ence of railroads, with easy transportation, wilj
make the prosperity of the State assured, by in.
during labor to flow in from all other Sections.
In our city proper trade has undergone no
lioticablc change. Our moneyed institutions are
closing up their semi-annual business, and presen-
ting the public with a report of their condition.
We want more capital invested in trade. Our
merchants require the advantage offered by bank-
ing institutions, and though discounts compared
with capital subscribed and paid in, are more than
two to one, yet there is room for more accommo-
dation. There have been few changes in the
directory of any of our banks, which is a high
commendation of past management
Orders from the country are beginning to flow
in for supples, and more money will be needed
until the growing crop is harvested and sold.
The area of territory occupied by sugar farms
can be profitably increased, and by the introduction
of labor-saving machines for grinding the sugar
crop of Texas will soon take rank with onr alter
State of Louisiana.
Before the end of the year, we hope to record
cheering news. Many merchants from our sister
State of Leufeiaita speak of settling in our midst,
bringing with them their energy and capital A
liberal course on the part of owners of real estate
in putting rents down to the lowest notch will help
materially in the building up of our city.
Onr Gold and Cotton quotaions arc the very
Wst, and their reliability may be accepted.
Mehles New Orleans Circular shows the condi-
tion of the Stock Market up to the end of the
last month.
We will close by stating that our city remains
perfectly healthy, and those.merchants from the
country who require to replenish, will find the
present the most favorable opportunity.

Whose successful treatment of certain ihysical
disabilities and functional derangements, deserv-

GREAT S P KC lAtlsT,
Wou'd respectfully inform the citizons of Houston
and vicinity that, having been called to treat some
cases that could hot be taken to Now Orleans, he
has concluded to sojourn for a short tlmo in your
beautiful city, thus giving invalids an opportunity
cf r iilding themselves, through his professional
agency, of such constitutional annoyances and ail-
ments as he claims to compass_and to enre. With-
ont entering into biographical details, it is suffi-
cient to simply promulgate the fact that Dr. Spin-
ney's earliest reputation maybe traced back to his
inauguration and conduct of the Montreal (Canada
East) MeclicSl Institute, and as the regime of Eng-
lish Fharmacitical Colleges is gauged by an eleva-
ted standard, an extended experience of over
twenty years, and an arduous study oi the varied
phases of Disoase, enable him to guarantee assur-
ances of sucoess in the eradication of the multi-
form chronic affections incident to both sexes.

it 4 inches by 2 feet 6 inches, with su
facilities for feodicg fuel. Two ventilated
ind perfect baking ovens, 13 by 22 inchea. Tho
^s6i,ing Attachment is superior to any ever offered
for family use. They are arranged fqr a charcoal
fire, with smoke pipe attached to the main pipe of
ranges, to carry off all the rmoke and disagreeable
odor from bro.Jing meats. The draft is easily reg-
ulated. In the absence of charcoal, a few chips
burned inrbece broilers will make the required
amount of coal to broil for family nse Where
wood is used as fuel, coals lor broiling can be
taken from the main lire.
We will set up these ranges for any responsible
person, the sale being sublect to its workings giv-
ing entire satisfaction.
Price, complete, with fall aet 8-inch trim-
mings, 75 gallon tank for hot water $120 00-

inches. The oven is 16 by 22 inchea.
They are fo arranged that yon can have them
with or without the attachment for broiler or
?ank,
1 he 1 roii er is so constructed that you can beat
an 8-inch wash boiler, and a light aupper can be
prepared with charcoal, coke or anthracit coal,
without heating tho range. To use charcoal, raise
the grate bar to rest on the upper lugs of the fire-
box. For coke or anthracite, reverse the ends of
grate, and let it rest upon the bottom cf fire-box.
The amoke and odor are drawn away from the
meat, and carried into the fire box of range.
The attachment for tank his a warming oven to
keep meats, dishes, ftc., warm,—a 1th a place for
galvanized Iron tank, of 10 gallons capacity, for
hot water. If preferred, a wooden tank, or hy-
draulic boiler, can be attaobed to the range.
This range combines the advantages of a large
range, is so compactly built that it occupies less
space than a 7-inch cook stove, and does not ex-
ceed in price a first class cock stove, oyer which it
hai superior advantages—having a wrought ircn
■baking oven, greater racilitiei for cooking, and the
body being made of wrought iron, will last more
than fiva times as long, wrthoct the constant re-
pairing inciden'al to cook stoves.
Families in want of an economical and dttraile
