Rare Esterrnter.—The New York © f yesterday announces Genera unt as having arrived in that'city late Taexday evening, gone directly to the residence of Mr. Fish, on Inth street, and attended the charity ball at the Aqademy of Music at midnight, “in plain ldrpes, and evidently desirous of remaining in- cog.” Which we don’t wonder at his desire, se@ing that be was at that time snugly and quietly at home with his family ir this city. He was also in attendance, in propria persona, at the wedding of General Comstock last eve- 7» 48 will be seen by our report of that af- fag elsewhere in to-day’s paper. AstoxtsmixG how those New Yorkers do brag! And on such slight pretexts. One of} them, going down the Avenue the other day, happening to notice on the west front of the W: tom Builging the words ASHIN TO Ult I + jumped at conclusion at onte, and snorted out :— “H—ll we've got 4 new synagogue in New “f that lays over that-far emough.” When informed that what he saw was the remnant ot name of the egifies, and-not a Hevraic 4 at ail, he drew in Nis horns, so to speak, ‘and passed on, 8 wiser if not a better man. Ib THE Senate, this morning, Mr. Cattell introduced a bill to provide for the conversion of tegistered bonds of the United States ints coupon bonds. It authorizes thy S-cretary of the Treasury to issue upon such terms and under such regulations as he may from time to time prescribe, coupoa bonds in exchange tor and in lieu of any registered bonds which hive beeh or may hereafter be lawfally issued Suéh coupon bonds te be-similar in all respects to the coupon bonds issued under th+ acts au- thorizing the issue of the registered bonds of- fered for exchange. Referred wo the Commit- tee on Finance. THE PRIENDS of Dr. S. G. Howe, the Boston Philanthropist, are confident that he will b® sent as United States Minister to Athens. They Present, however, so far as we are advised Bo Teasons for the recall of Mr, Tackerman | Our present representative at that coart; and it is likely that their conviction in the premises grows out of their desire, or out of his partiali- ty for Greece, and bis efforts ia behalf of | Maryland a: Crete. Which calls to mind a pretty gooi thing ‘old ona prominent resident of the “bub.” who was called apon to subscribe something t» the Cretan fund during the stragele of that Exllant peopie with Turkey.

Among the rumcrs ailont ia conse quence is one to the efvet that the General formally tendered to the Mayo the position ot Postmaster Generat in bis Cabinet, and that the Mayor will, for the par- Pose of accepting this position, teader hts f siguation as Mayor of the city, to take ete Abovt the first of March. Others Baye it that the interview was in regard to the sale of General Grant’s house to Mr Bowen. The Mayor, when catechised, smiles serenely, but makes me sigu, and evi- dently is disposed to havea little quiet far over the puzziement of anxious anquirers. Tae Parvon or Dr. Mcpp.—The published statement that the pardon of Dr. Mudd one ot the alleged consp‘rators had been ordered by the President1s premature, though it is prob- able that the pardon will be ordered by the President. Mudd, 1t will be remembered, was convicted by the militsry commission at the Arsenal fn 1-65, and sentenced to imprisonmen; and labor at the Dry Tortugas for lite, with Arnold and O'Langhim, Spangler’s sentence being for the period of six years. The recom- mendations for the pardon of Mndd are very strong, one alone contaiming over five hundred names, being those of every officer and soldier on duty at Dry Tortugas. 1t is said that bis attention to the sick at that place during the prevalence of yellow fever has won for him the grautude of ail, who earnestly join in the recommendation to Executive clemency, The case is now before the Attorney General and will be reported to the President in the course of afew days. THE WEDDING of General Vomstock, of Gen- eral Grant's staff, and Miss Bessie, daughter of Hon.

Tests of Explosive Kerosene. 7 Stor .—We belong to the benighted class who have not gas in their dwelling- honses. For years we have used kerosene ol, and so far we bave met with no accident; it bas afforded us a good light at trifling cost, and we bave been inclined to sing its praises. Tbe frequent announcements in che uewspa- pers of accidents arising from its use we Lave passed by, attributing them to the carelessness of the sufferers, and flattering ourselves that with our habits of caution we are inno dan- ger. Lute events bave rather shaken this cou- fidence, the explosion of a lamp in New York having led to & pretty general testing of the oil in_use there, with the result that the great ma- jority of the specimens so tried were pro- Lounced inflammable and dangerous. Lt is not Pleasant to sit im fear and trembling around the evening lamp, and we hailed with gratutade the publication of a simple means of proving the purity of the oil in the Journal of Chemisiry for December. Dr. Nichols says: “The error ‘must not prevail that kerosene oil of legat standard will ignite or burn ifa Jamp containing it is broken. Good oil, such as ebould be used in families, will extinguish flame when brought in contact with a. Oil hented tothe usnal point when buruing in a lamp im the evening, should extiaguish a lighted match when thrust into it.” (1 beg the reader not to try at experiment first.) «If we reader is using im his family unadult-raied kerosene he may taxe off the cap of the lamp, tbrust in lighted taper, he may turn it out upon the floor and apply the flame, and it will ‘not take fire nor . Standard kerosene, euch as the law recoguizes, is perfectly safe.
