Into one end of the cylinder the service pipe is conducted, aud the water issuing from this Is made to pass through two filters of vegetable and animal charcoal, placed at a distance of eight inches from each other, near the middle of the cyl- iuder and leaving a space of about one foot at each end. The first filter, of vegetable charcoal, is in- tended to absorb the greater part of the impurities in the water, and the anna! charcoal iilter is used prin- cipaliy as a decolorizer. The water after passing through the two fillers 18 conducted directly into the house pipes and distributed by them im whatever room it is Gesired. It 18 chuimed that the flow of the water is transmiued with Practically the sau head after passing both filters. When, uowever the force of the water ts uupeded by the filtering chambers becoming clogged, the simple opening of a door in the filter cago forces a reverse current of hot Water {rom the kitchen boiler through the filtering chumbers, carrying tbe retuse into tne Waste pipes leading io the sewer. One of these wagte Pipes is placed bevween the two filters and « other At the end nearest the street connection, and the opening of the same dour which admits the water Wrough the pipe, from the kiteken boiler seus the valves of the waste pipes and closes those of the supply and house distribution pipes, The water is allowed to rua for about three minutes trom the kuchen boiler, and then, on closing the door of the cuse, the vaives of the boiler wud Waste pipes are shut and the flow restored Of the street and house pipes. TELLING 118 OWN STORY, The length of tame required tor the cleansing pro- cess can always be deteruiued by simply closing the d notiving M tue water from the house pipes bas regained its full head and purity, Hov water 1s mupoyed im the process, as removing more peviectly all ~dmpurities, and particuiurly ny mueral ~— sediment’ in the charcoal, such as tue salts of jcad trom the pipes, whicu cold wate? Uiiration would failto absorb. tis’ apparenuy compneaid arrangement of cut-off valves is worked eptirely by a system of levers attached to the door, acting automatically by its mere opening and shutung. It desirabie, ior any cause, the cylinder can he readily removed by unsciewing the top of 18 wooden case, and is su’ Constructed as to be taken apart without ditlicuity; but 1 is not apprebended that the necessity tor this will ever arise.

A MURDERER ARRAIGNED. [From the Boston Giobe, Dec. 9,} No now facts have been developed regarding the mysterious death of Mrs, Calvin Hersome, at the Ho- tol Evelyn, in Malden, Wednesday night, Heart dis evse is generally supposed te have been the cause of the lady's death, but the authorities, taking into con- 7A87, __ sideration her position when found, think otverwise. The body was found in a very unuaiural position and go cramped that it could easily have been placed in a bushel basket. The bead was hanging downward, nearly touching the floor, and, on azcount of this and she high discoloration of the body, the pol: inclipe bo the belief that the lady met a Violent death, The Accused still relies on his ability to prove his where. pbouts on Wednesday night, and that bis wile was teen alive and well after his departure, to clear him- seif from the accusation which rests upon him. Whi Mra. Hersome—then Miss Cornelia Derby, of Mediora— was married to the prisoner she did so against the Wishes of her pareuts and frienus. She persisted im the union, and one day suddenly made her appearance with Hersome as ber husband. He invented the guiter which‘ bears bis name, from which be derived a large income, and spent it ireely upon his wife, Notwithstanding ‘be reports ot their aubappiness, when speak: always refers to ber in a tmost affectiona and stoutiy denies beimy instrumental in death, except perhaps by exciting ber by bis avrups departure on the bight of the sad occurrence. day morning & ome Was brought velore Court of Maldeu, Judge Potrengill proetdin, raigned on what Wie called a charge of mansiaughtet although the complaint explicit!y states that “the said Hersome felomousiy, wiltuily and at his maliee did make an aseauli, and of bie malice did willully ueprive ot lite.” George S Scammon, Esq., the coungel of ihe prisoner, entered a piea of not guilty, ana moved, on account of the hige character of t! cieudant, that the bati be set ata low figure, During this discussion Mr. Hersome was im great utal distress, and could hot restrain the saddost expressions of grief, no doubt deeply aggravated by the unfort nate position which he occupied im the ence of bis friends and neighbors, Tne Court roied that public opinion should not have avy inilo- ence 1m the case, aud bail was fixed at $35,000. The firm of Thomas merson’s Sons, with whose house the detendent Was connected, Muroished securities and the accused was released, ‘Ae will appear fora second hearing Decomber 22, when the verdict of the Coro- her's jury will bave been rendered. tn the room where the death took place scraps of paper said to. have u found Learing sentences indicat death from yoolence, such a8, ‘I have been murdered,” but thers is Do substantial authority for the siatement, Ti room is'strietly guarded, aud noue but those inti: Bovnected with the Case are allowed to enter. It said by an inimate of the house that the sentiment wi against the accused because of bis unbehef in the Bible, but that otherwise both he and his wife were highly re- spected as asyeia! and attractive couple, Why the Clwet of Poiee maintains sach silence inthe matier does pot appear, and the publie will probably have to await the action of the Coroner's jury for further det opiaents, GOld. seen “FINANCIAL AND, COMERCIAL The Leading Events of the Week in the Stock Market.’ THE DECLINE IN GOLD. Hardening Rates in Money—Government Bonds Lower—Raiiway Earn- ings and Facts. Watt Staxert, Sonpay, Dec. 10, ise } A deluded fox hunter cheated into hunting a ‘‘arag” would probably stigmatize the performance asa sharp burst across country with alie atthe end of it This 1s precisely the sort of sport which the Lake Shoro people have been offering to Stock Exchange sports- men during the past week. They bave made the scent to lie hot o’ morning by plausible stories of dividends promised, earnings increased and a railway pea X cured, and in the afternoon they have scrambied out of the hunt with whole skins and left the field to pull up in the bog of a palpable cheat, Such has beon the ‘modus operandi from day to day, and {rom find to fu. tsb the sport has been unwaveringly the same, and is likely to continue to be the same so long as credulity exists and fools survive, The speculation in Lake Shore acted like a poultice upon the general market, and drew to itself whatever ly attaches to other stocks, and the & general neglect of the less promi- nent {uncies and a wide-spreading dulness, though this situation was broken now end again by fitfal starts of activity in certain quarters where it was thought most good woulda be done to the favorites, and Lackawanna was forced up at one tine, Michigan Central at another, and nally Mr. Vonderbilt’s pet, Central and Hudson, was made to assume the humili- ating shape of a stalking horse in aid of the desired result. On Tuesday a report that Florida bad cast one electoral vote for Mr. Tilden was used to spurt the market, and alot of 5,000 shares of Lake Shore was purcbased by the present manipulators to ve turned out again next day when the presumabie fact proved to be a positive fiction, While the activity in Lake Shore has exhausted the attention of speculators it has nevertheless imparted a certain strength to the rest of the list, and the net re- sult for the week has been something of an improve- mentallaround, Erie, Wabash and Iilinois Central are, however, to be noted exceptions to this rule, the latter, in particular, having at one time fallen off seven points, of which it, however, regained two atthe close of business on Saturday. The most notable teatures of the week were the steady decline in the gold premium and the hardening rates for money. Economy and compulsion have twisted the scrows on extravagance, with a consequent fal.ing off in imports and a corresponding flow of gold to restore the valance of trade, The continuous shipments have created a supply which exceeds any present demands, and, os a matter of course, gold bas become diflicult to carry except at burdensome rates of interest, which, in view of the call for currency for this purpose and the amounts sent South and West to move cotton and prod- uce, bas marked up the loaning rate for current funds toan unusual figure. Rates for money on call havo ranged between 23 and 7 per cent, with the maximum of loans made at about 4 per cent and closing at 6 in face of two days’ interest, The difficultics of the political crisis still hang heavily upon the market, with the result of deterring any outside speculation and of leaving affairs entirely m the hands of professional operators, who juggie with shares as best suits their own plaus for prod. ‘THE SALES OP THY WEEK. ‘The following table represents the opening, highest and Jowest sales, regular way, of the principal stocks during the past Week, together with the number of shares dealt in:— No. of Open- High- Low- Shares, ing. est. eat, Atlantic and Pacido Tel.. — 15 1b.

Owing to artificial qu the rates of tneney loaned on call nave shown a hardening tendency, the range being Irom 7 to 244 per cont, The higher figure, however, bas been ex- coptional, as, according to the record, the bulk of busi- ness was done on the basis of 6 and 4percen:. Ina meusure the large deerease in the legal tender avera; amounting to $3,449,300, accounts for the firmness, ana this loss is doubtless due to the requisitions of the South and West ior money with which to move the crops, The beavy accumulation of gold at the centre has also bad ite wwfluence on tho market, Mercantile paper was quoted as follows :— CURRENCY PAPER, by vee!

Gold during the week declined from 108% to 107. ‘The latter is the lowest figure that has been reached since 1873, The shipments from England to America have im the main beem on account of the Syndicate, It will be observea by the bank statement that, until this week, the banks have not shown the effect of the large arrivals, and now do so only in a small degree The inference is a feir one tbat the remaining millions are safely housed in the Sub-Treagury. The low rat of exchange, the prospective payments by the govern- ment in Japuary and the more peaceful aspect of tor- eign advices, bave combined to make speculation heavy and prices lower. Some bankers, however, look for a sharp reaction, THE BALANCE OF TRADE inour favor continues to attract unnsual attention to the monthly report of the Bureau of Statistics. The official returns for October show a further reduction ia importations, the Ogures for the month being $34,297,911, against $36,818,017 for October, 1875 ‘The exports forthe monthdo notexbibit so large a ratio of increase a3 during previous months, the total shipments of domestic products being valued in cur- Toncy at $53,957,512, against $50,734,278 1m October, 187%. For the past teu months of the calendar year the imports, specie included, amount to $380,200,000, Against $454, 200,000 for the like months of 1875; show- ing adecrease of $74,000,000 in that period, or at the race of $88,800,000 per annuin. Comparing the ten montis’ totais of imports and ex- ports, specie im each cage included, we bave the fol- lowing result:— Imports Export. Excess of exports GOVERNMENT BONDS, This class of securitics during the week have suf- fered an unusual dectiue, yet not so mach as might have been expected in connection with the sharp fall in gold. Meauwhile it is a noteworthy fact that they have beon active 1 response to a buying movement by those who, having faith iu the stability of the gov- ernment credit, have availed thomselves of the oppur- tunity to increase their hoard at the existing low prices, Ibis said that the prinoipal sellers have been German bankers, and their trausactions in fives of 1881 induce the supposition that the Prussian govern- ment is disposing of this class of our securitics which it purchased several mcnths ago. STATR BONDS, The dealings in these pave been moderate and upat- tended by important changes. As wo havo said be~ fore, the people who invest in Southern securities are deterrea from action by the unsettled condition of po- tical aifairs. When it is known, however, that the credit of the Southern States now in dispuge is once more under the control of their own citizens, there is no doubt that a prompt and upward movement will take place, From the exhibit of the debt of North Carolina given by the Governor in his message it appears that the total on the Ist of October, 1876, including special tax bvonde, was $41,846,930 45, of which over $13,000,000 consists of unpaid interest. It is further said:—“‘Nothing has yet been done under the act passed by the last General Assembly to compromise the State debt. fhe amount of our State bonds held by the few creditors who signified their willingaess to accept the proposed compromise was so small that it was not’ deemed advisable to iucur the expense of having new Londs prepared and of levying a .special tux upon all the taxable property of the State for tho purpose of paying the interest on such a small amount, It is Very important that we should compromise, com- mute and seitie the State debt, so that our financial condition may be the better known both at home and abroad and our public credit again established on a firm basis.”” FOREIGN COMMERCE. The foreign commerce of the port for the week was ag tollows:—Imports of dry goods and general mer- chandise, $3,862,598; exports of produce, $6,984,616, and specie exports, $462,132, Tho total imports since January 1 this year were $295,487,(63, against $205,574,014 for the same period last your und $370,677,886 in 1874.

The New York Central and Hudson Rivor Railroad Company have declared a qoarterly dividend of 2 per cent on the capital stock and-consolidasion certificates, payable Javuary 15, The Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company have declared adividend of 234 per ceut, payable De- comber 22. ‘The rough profits of the Suez Canal Company for 1876 are anofiicialiy estimated at £1,020,000. Of this sum £623,160 will be at once absorbed by interest on | loans, leaving £496,840 available for dividend upon tho share capital, To this £496,340 must be added £86,920 brought forward (rom 1875, making the definite divis! bie balance £582,760, Out of this balance it would be practicable to pay a dividend upon the shares in the company atthe rate of 63 per cent per annum, but it 18 anticipated that the actual dividend for tho year will not exceed 6 per gmt per annum, ‘The officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have been engaged since the close of the Centennial Exhibition im endeavoring to ascertain their profits or losses on the great six mouths’ transportation cam- paign, Itts estimated that tho entire namber of pas- engers carried during these six months exceeds 3,600,009, avd to accommodate this multitude 22,542 trains, composed of 144,264 cars, were despatched.

How the Belles of Paris Are Attired for the Winter. DRESSING AS AN a ART. The Latest Noveities in Coors, Shapes and Textures. FANS WITH HISTORIC DEVICES. Paris, Nov, 27, 1876, French Indies have lately been informed by one of the most popular orgaus in Paris that they were never So captivatingly atiired as at present, never appeared 80 fascinating and totally irresistible. They believe it, and the cousequenee is that tue length of an ordi- nary waist has grown down at the back to three inches above the lust spinal vertebrw. Extraordinary waists are lengthened beyond this point by a ‘whale. bone spinal system, which articulates anatomically, and is found to be only a little inconvenient when the wearer has tositdowa. Generally speaking, however, the present style of dress, when not outre, is both ele gant and becoming. As it is useless to moralizo oa the tyravay of fashion, itis as well.to conclude that if fourreau bodies and tie-back skirts disclose all the defects of certain angular shapes, they have at least one merit, that of revealing proportionate nate Towness of mind in the wearer, On the other band, if stout figures owe all their plastic perfection to the process of tight lacing, it is sufficiently painful and pro- Judicial in itec!f to disarm the critic, who, alter all, is homan and mingles a vast amount of admiration with his pity. 1t is dif cult to be severe when materials are selected with such artistic discernment in the matter of combinations and color, ¢ Weollen-demi wilet suits, mixed with plaitings of silk, are evidently the moat useful, whether ip maring blue, bronze, olive, seal, seabious or myrtle shades, They are rendered more dressy by being ornamented with plastrons on the bodice and revera on the sleeves, These plastrons aro of rich cardinal gros grain and they are covered with chenille work, silver cord, or even plain braiding of the color of the dress, Although ‘TNE POLONAISR RODR, made as long a8 the underskirt, is still so much in favor that it is almost a uniform, yet a dress in three pieces—jacket, tle-back tunic and skirt—finds nu- merous adherents. The fact is, that in spite of all new inventions polonaises cannot be made skin!ike enough, and these who maintain an old-fashioned regard for under petticoats must either adopt a toilet iu three parts or get into fourreau adversity {rom top to instep, while they are provoked to Gnd that all the dra they want on their bodies trails far behind ou the ground. Very wise, therefore, is the maintenayge of pretty natté, damass6 bird’s eye and diaper woolleng, None of the rich Lyous tissues are made up for com fort; the armures, a ribbed stand-up silk cloth, the vele vets and brocatels are used for combinations of threo apd even four different materials of the same shade, ‘The trains are made of cloisonné brocadé on stout gros grain, the bodices and trimmings are embossed velvet, the banda are satin and the plaitings oither gauzo or crépe lisse, but the one shade must be preserved throughout. The flowers or marked embroidery selected for these rich dinner dresses mark the contrast of so many” different tissues by coming in between, A great fea- ture in evenjng dress bodices is that the lower edge of cuirass basques is never trimmed, but hides all round either scart draperies or gariands of foliage, which, after encircling the figure, fali in full trails down the trun, Another novelty in evening toilet is sim pheity, whieh does pot imply that ladies wear plaia muslin, but that they affeet to puton nothing but white," ‘Tuus the newest dresses are white bardge or white organdie and Valencennes trimmed with tringe and bows on long satin ladders called “y grimper ety mourir,’? in souvenir ot Romeo's ascent to the balcony, ‘The simplicity of white is rendered all the more won. derful by being embroidered all over with silver gurd.
