I IKE LATEST AMERICAN IN* VEETION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. Since Electricity has been applied for lighting; purposes, all effo’tt of inventors have been directed to constjhet a lamp for general domestic use. TbqSeaaon why this problem has till noa-»jiot jp|ei> icolve'l, is tliat none of the WeeMprMiflld Jid themselves of the ideaof gasi 1 Jybp n that all have had adh|red C?®e system of producing the Electricity fin some central place, or by largo maqpinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of lighting. Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The. cost oj lighting will be as cheap as gas (three fourth cents per hour) and it has before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or snffocatiou, as in the case of gas, if tho key is left open ; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of lighting for the following reasons : (1.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order. (2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can bo removed like any Oil Lamp, from one pines to another. (3.) That it neither requites the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of other Oil Lamps. (4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one ; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree, (6.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner shonld be broken. (G.) That it Will burn, even "in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting ofeardens, corridors, etc. This tamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes :

A. Small size. Height of Complete Lamp, 14 inches ; weight, about 5 pounds ; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives aro kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose.

Oa all orders for six Lamps and above, a discount of six per cent, will bo bio orders from abroad filled, unless accompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first class references on a New York or Philadelphia house.
