Miss Ives, <?f Deansvillo, by tlio death of an uncle, has fallen into a fortune of $100,- ! 000, and the I)eain>ville boys think just aa much of her as they did before.

(Jreat men must usually he content w i111 hope ol a porthumous ripening ol their lame and the uncertainly ol e\en tliat is too often the bitterness ol souls to whom fame of light belongs. The lile of Mr. W in. Culleu Bryant presents a beautiful exception to this) imjnet rule.

One ol tlio most important events ol the week was tliu public exhibition of the new Connelly hire Kxtinguisltcr by the Atlantic Fire Anniliilator (Jo. of this city, tl.e efficiency of which borders so closely on the miraculous that the system is already the subject of universal and entirely favorablu comincn*, the piers being tinaniinot.s in pronouncing it an enor. nun s advance tn applied science. A tank of crude 1'clmicuui, thirty feet long, was lighted and in a moment rolled up huge masses ol tlamo and smoke, looking like the month of the bottomless pit itself. The cxiingnishing apparatus was tuinvd upon this take ol tire and instantly?in a fraction ol the time it takes you to lead this sentence?every vest ago ol llame was quenched anil the black masses ol smoke mounted sullenly upward and disappeared over the city. Then a pile ol 400 resin barrels, covered with lVtrolenni, and another pile of lumber, aimilarily treated, were lighted, and when they became two raging volcanoes whose fierce heat I dro\ e the watching mulli'iulc to precipitate retreat, a signal was given to the none hum) ami in mreo minutes the volcai ova weie extinct and the crowd in a stale ol limine applause. These tests are admitted to l?e tiie most trying ones to which any system could he subjected, tor l'etroleum has, heretofore been considered well nigh unquenchable, water alone only spreading it and adding to iis distructiveness. The principle ot the Connelly-Hastings system, as this is called, is the application of pure carbonic acid gas, commingl* d wish water under high pressure. The uso ol the gas mentioned lor this purpose is not new, but the method ol employ meut in this system is totally so, and places the street engines constructed under it, and the stationary apparatus for the protection ot lactones, lumberyards, oil tanks and public and private buildings generally, as tai ahead of all previous ''Chemical Extinguishers," as the railroad is ahead ol the old stage couch. The street engines containing, as they do, both the extinguishing material and force enough in the compressed gas to throw it in a powerful stream, are independent ol steam or reservoirs, and each one is thus a complete village fire department in ilseil. They must certainly, effect not only a complete revolution in the mailer ol treating conflagrations in the ruial districts hut an enormous diminution of the yearly lire losses ol the country. Business has left town?probably gone ofl* to get under u live some where and tan itself. And its a well known tact that, when the cat's a'Any the mice will flay. So with lis to kill tune and keep cool are the two great objects in lite now. People who have to Btay in town feel that its very little use working, Even the hand cart proprietor who sits dozing under the shade 01 a wall or awning, is disposed to be querulous it waked up on business grounds. The shining halt dollar, which a lew weeks ago would have brightened him up like a shower hath now excites at most a treble interest. Even the match peddlers go lor ine so languidly as to be comparatively inoffensive, and the youibtul vendor of "strawber ries !" whoso well developed lungs were wont in coohr weather to disturb my morning nap is so much a victim of summer laziness as not to letch a single howl more than is necessary to quiet a very easy going conscience. Strange to say, amusements rise superior to the general prostration. Jerome Park lias closed its success!ul races this week amid tin applause of swelling thousands. Toe heroic "Polo" Club continue to risk noses and shins lor a chance to knock the ciiutik ol hard wood which lomm the centre oi attraction in this aristocratic game, the excursion boats swarm with humanity, and the theatres perspire jubilantly. "The Mighty Dollar" is no less mighty than at lirst, horsehoeing Joe Murphy makes the "Kerry Gow" acceptable to big audiences, the Vokes continue to captivate eyes, cars and hearts, and "Pique" gathers glory as it passes its 200lh performance and goes on into the short supplementary season which its popularity compels. On tho occasion ol this bi-centcn* ..

The ( enteiinial may be said to have reaehed its tm-ridan. In so i complete an undcilnking it is natural , that a lew details should still leiuaiii . imperfect ~ such will probably be the ease throughout i t h existence, but they are too s'lght to mar the client; which is now complete. The materials are all there and in lie ir places, the machinery, literal and figurative, runs without hitch or impediment, the summer sun has not yet hud tune to scorch the green lawns, nor the wear and tear ol the visiting thousands to delaeo the prospect. The "corroding tooth" ol Oust and weather has not as yet lairiy commenced its attack upon the beauty ot banners and buildings, and the delicate treasuiea within. ICvcrytiling is trosli and dclightlul and now is tfit time to yo. j Muthtug among the recent arrival* ol foreign goods has excited such wonder ami admiration us the huudtwurk ol Russia. Politically wo have lieaid much ol tins country, and have long know n it in a general way as 'gicit und progressive, but 1 think Americans generally have had a vague idea that Russia hardly yet got up into the line ol modern citilniiou, at least in uris and niauul&ciurcs. 1 he piesent show, however, will thorough iy dis.bttsu ol such notions sticii ol our people as examine these specimens ol her work. I can not, ol course, more than allude to this department, but bclore leaving the sut'ject muKt say a woid about the Russian gold and silver work, which is the most i striking of all their display. The richness of this work is hardly less astonishing than its exquisite delicacy. Vases, candelabra, set vsees ol beaten metal and other rare and quaint articles ol use and ornament make up a collection worthy ot Aladdin's , palace. I'crhaps the tincst work in it all is that shown on some cake bassets which look like tine woven osier suddenly turned to gold.

'1 lie Kugiish ami American artificers in the precious metals have hcrcloioru supposed themselves to lead the world, out 1 think tlio llusbiun exhibit ol this year will cause them to take a moie modest position. The Exposition is rich in jewelers' displays other than that just mentioned, and the showing ol precious stones is simply dazzling. Diamonds, pearls, emeralds, rubies and alt the rest ol ihem blaze and gliter on their velvet beds in regal inclusion. In a single small ease 1 noted one diamond necklace marked $25,000, another at $17,ooo, and two pairs ol solitaire* earrings valued at $7,000 and $7,Out) respectively, besides many other jewels ol less linpoi tanee. \Y lieu a man gcis the blues I rout meditating on hard liuies it w ill do hllii good lo spend an hour in this section ! the Main Building, Then in the Mexican department there is that pretty little chunk ol silver weiging something over two tuns, uud worth $72,000. This is almost always sun minded by an admiring circle, the individuals ol which well ilustrute the uniform vvoikiug of average minds. 1 suppose no man, woman or child lias yet approached this big bonanza without giving it a lew taps to hear it ling and then making some jocose remarks about "carrying it oil in your vest pocket," an observation which never failes to amuse the maker. Almost as interesting a sight as tho foregoing is tlic collection of facsimilies of the great gold nuggets of Australia. These are made of plaster, covered with gold leaf and are such perfect initiations as to cause the beholdens eyes to start untlll he learns their true character. The originals of theso half dozen tanlilizers weighed anywhere front fifty to one hundred pounds and represented a value of?well, never mind what limy were worth. We can't any of us, get hold of it, and the whole subject is sheor aggravation to a poor man like. Radix, The Registration of Voters. General Gary, of Edgefield, takes the ground, in a recent letter to Gen eral Conner ol Charleston, that the want of registration makes all elections null and void. 11c asks: Is not lite teilure of the Legislature to provide for Registration a change as to a material Constitutional qualification of electors? Is it not such a change and modification of a Constitutional qualification, as to render all elections held without registration null and viodY In the ease of People vs. Kopplekoin ?16 Mich Hcports, page 342, it is held t.hat when regis tration is a qualification prescribed by the Constitution, an election in a township where no such registration has ever been made, will be void, and cannot be sustained by making proof that none in fact but duly qualified electors have voted. It would seem the absence of a registration law, such as is required by the present Constitution, makes every election held without it, necessarily illegal and void, in June, 1808, there was a registration ol voters ol this State, but since then, it has fallen into disuse, by the Legislature (.-tiling to provide ior ii,M "from time to time."
