The Philadelphia Tultgraph warns the Camerons that the Times, the Record, the Inquirer, the Press, the Xorth American and the lUilhtia, in that city, and other iiiiluential papers throughout the State, are against the third term business. But what does Don Cameron care for the newspapers? The republican press of Pennsylvania was largely against llartrauft in his liist canvass. Many of the most influential organs demanded his withdrawal, and the Press continued to oppose him with great bitterness throughout the campaign. But Don Cameron put his hand in his pock, et and declared that there should be no step taken backward, and llartrauft was counted in.

The machine is worked by a live-horse power engine, and there are five carbons or lampsdistrilinted throughout the erecting and machine shops, and which light up the place bright as under the noon day sun. It is however in contemplation to erett three more lamps. The Works were lit up for the first, time with the new light on Tuesday night of last, week, in the presence of a large crowd of people. The machine worked charmingly from the start, ami gives the highest, kind of satisfaction.

The Weston Dynamo-IClectric Machine, (the one iu use at Stemton,) suldi-vides the light in two or three lesser lights, hut does uot permit of the running of a lu ge number with a single one. )iher makers hae patented complicated contrivances to regulate the current when by the extinguishing of Siime of the lights the remainder become too intense, but as far as is known the Weston machine is one of the best out, iu that it furnishes the best method of utilizing electricity for illuminating pur-posfs. In producing the light an en-gin i is used to generate electricity by riction. The current is conveyed through a copper wire to the place to be lighted, and into a lamp constructed for the purpose. The regularity of the light is secured by clockwork, which is controlled by an electro-magnet.

Carbon electrodes are used in connection with the lamp, and regulated by the magnet. Two wires are necessary to establish the electric current one to transmit and the other to return the current. Four blocks of steel and a revolving shaft are the all powerful elements in producing the light. The electricity, after beiugdistributed under pressure, and used, is returned to the central station. As the light results from no consumption of a material, but is mere transmutation of the energy exerted in the pumplug process, it is therefore seen that all which is essential to an electric lighting system is the generator (or pump,) the two lines of wire, one distributing the electricity, the other bringing it back, and a lamp which transmutes into light the energy carried by the electricity when it counties win tie in attendance, in the even lNlil president judge of this district, was on hoped that all classes in the place and ueigh- (if The Superintendent of the census ing there is to be a cotilliou party, the music Tuesday ot last week elected to the office of oornood win purchase liberally of the tickets, dential electors of that state, so us to prevent the whole number of such electors from being given to a democrat, as they otherwise are sure to be.
