SIMON SIIGGS, THE SHIFTY MAX |
ltV JOtINSUN J. HOOPER, ESQ ,
We got tlte following {rood ’un liom that i
spicy journal the New Y’ork Spirit of the :
‘l'itoep ; I
[ln lit j “Spirit bT the Times” of the lltlt i
inst. we gave tho tirst ol a sc-ries of sketclies
of otic Captain Suggs, late captain of tlie l
Talkpooea Voimpeeis, from ‘•The East
Alabamian.” It will bo recollected thalSi
moiii 1 then a boy,was cauglit by Ins lather— i
“ a ts ird-shell Laplisl preacher” ill the act of
playing “old sledge” w,ih a negro boy, nam
ed Bill, for which the old man, w ith a hand
ful ol hickory sticks, threatened to take the
bark off of llierrt, and inarched them off - lo
“.he Mulberry”—the eeene of all formal
pumsli'mctflnd'm'iflieterad during work hours
in the field, It is at “die Mulberry” that
the present,sketch opens.}
It must not be supposed that, during the
walk to the place ol punishment, Simon’s
mind was either inact.ve. or engaged in sug
gesting the gfintaces and cpmofLious where
with he was pautomiiuical.y expressing his
irreverent sentiments towards his lather.
Far from it. ‘l'he movements of his 1 mbs .
and features were the mere workings of hab
it—the eSlfgrinding of the corporeal—lor
which tils reasoning halt was only remotely
responsible. For while Simon’s person was
thus, on its own acjuunt, “making game” ol
oid Jodediali, !iis wile, in view of the anliei
patoil fl ‘gging. word dashing, springing,
bound.ng, darting about, in lint chase oi
softie expeil cut suitable lo l he necessities ot
the case—much af er the manner in which
puss, when Betty, armed with the broom,
atltl hotly seeking vengeance fur the pantry
rooted or room dtdiled, has cldsetf tipi'tf Sur
the garret doors and windows, attempts all
sorts ol impossible’ exits, to cotue do.vn at
last in the corner, wall” pa'nti ig side and
g'aring eye, exhausted and doleilcoiess. Oor
, unfoT unate lioro could devise liotliiiig by
w Inch he could reasonably expect to escape
the Imavy Hows of his father, ilaviugarnv
cd at tins coitcltrsion and the “Mulberry”
about tint same time, lie stood with a dogged
look awaiting the ssue.
The old man Suggs made nb : remark to
any one while he was seiz.ng up Li.ll—a pro
cess which, though by no means novel lo Si
mon, seemed to ex hie in linn a sort'd painful
interest. He watched’ it closely, as il io
learn the procise fashion o! his lather’s knot;
and when at last Bill w s strung ut> s-tiptoe
lo a limb, and the whipping commenced,
Simon’s eyt so loWetkcvory movement ot his
f.itbei’s arm ; and as each blow descended
upon the bare siiouiders ol his sable Irientk
his own body writhed and “wr.ggled” in m
vJomiiry sympathy.
“ it’s the devil—it's lioll,” said Simon to
himself, lo lake such a wallopin’ as that.
Why, ilia old man lo dcs like he wants to get
up Hie In die rs if he cotild, rot his pieter. It’s
wd|li at least lifty dents, je-emny, buw that
hurt !—yes,'-it’s Wur'Clt tbrea quarters of a
dollar to that ’em liekin ! Wonder if I’m pre
destinated ns old Jodediali says, to gel the
feller to it I ! Dfrit, how daddy blows ! I do
, wish to#ud ’ bust right open, the darn'd
j old deeuwee ‘twant for Bail helpin’
1 him, I'b’lifeve I’d give the old d.a ■ a tussel
wrtlti it comet for rtty iurn. It co'tStmb inakb
| i he tiling no wuss, if it didn’t nm£& B r bo bet*
‘ ter- Drbt it, Whit'do boys lmve daddies for,
any how t ’ I’ainv Tor nothin’ but juot lo bent
’em ami work ’em. There’.s soine use in
maminies—i kin poke my tiuzer right in the
u!d ’oinau's eye, und keep it tlmr, and if I
say it ainl lliar, she’ll say ’taint thar too. I
wish she was here to hold daddy oiK If’twan’t
so fur, I’d holler for her, any how. llovv
she would cling to the old fellow’s coat tail!”
Air. Jcdediali Sugg; let down Bill and
untied him. Approaching Simon, whose coat
was oil’, “Come Simon, son,” said he, “cross
them hands, I’m gwine to correct you.”
“It ’aint no use, daddy,” said Simon.
“ Why su, Situon 1”
“Just bekase it aint. i’in gwine to play
cards as long as I live. When I go off lo
myself, I’m gwine to rnako my livin’ by it.
Su what’s the use of healin’ me about itl”
Old Mr. Suggs groaned as he was wont to
do iu the pulpit, at this display oi Simon's
viciousness.”
“ Simon,” said he, “you’re a poor ignunt
creclur. Y'ou don’t know nothin, and you’ve
never beeu nowbars. If I was to turn you
off, you’d starve in a week—”
“ 1 wish you’d try me,” said Simon, “ and
just see. I’d win more money in a week
than you cun make in a year. There aint
nobody round here kin make seed corn off o’
me at cards, l’oi rale smart,” added he
with great emphasis.
“Simon ! Simon ! You poor unlettered
fool—Don’t you know that ali card-players
and chit ken fighters, and horse-racers, goto
hell ? You cracked brained ereatur’ you.
And don’t you know that them that play cards
always lose their money, and—”
“Who wins it ali then, daddy 1 ” asked Si
mon.
“ Shot your mouth, you imperdent, slack
jaw \i dog. Your daddy’s trym’ to give you
some good advtce, and you he a po kin’ up his
words that way < l know’ll a young man
once when l Itied in Oglethrap, as went
down lo Augtifty, anil sold a hundred dollars
worth of cotton lor his daddy, and some o’
themgamblcrs got him to driukin’and the
very first night he was .with ’em they got
every cent el'his money.”
“ They couldn’t git my money in a week,”
said’Siinnn. “ Any body can get these here
green fellow's money ; them's the sort I'm
a gwino to wa ch for, ntyself. Here’s wltal
kin fix the papers jisl about as nice as any
body.”
“Well, it’s no use to argify about the mat
ter,” said old Jededtab ;*• What saith the
scriptur ?—He that begeiteih a fool, doeth it
to liis sorrow.”—Hencb Simon, you're a poor,
miserable fool—so, cross your hands !
“ You’d jist as well not, daddy. I till you
I’m gwine lo f dlow playin’ cards for a livin’,
and what’s the use o’ hanging a feller about
it f I'm ass t art as any of ’em, and 13 tb
Smith says them Augusty fellers cant make
rent off o’ me.”
The reverend Mr. Suggs had once in his
life gone to Augusta : an extent of travel in
those days was a I tile unusual. Ills coils
stderatiuti among Iris’ neighbors was consid
erably increased by the cifcurnstances as he
had all the benefit of the popular inference,
that no man could visit tire city of Augusta
without acquiring u vast superior iiy over all
his un r ive.leti neighbors, in every depart
ment of human knowledge. Mr. Suggs, then
very naturally,’ left ineffably indignant that
au intl.Vidu.il who had never seen any col
lection of human habitations larger than a
log house village—an individual, in short, no
other or belter than Bob Smith—should ven
ture to express au opinion concerning the
manners, customs, or anything clsi apper
taining to or in any wise connected w ith the
ultima Thule of back-woods Georg ans.—
There were two propositions which witness
ed their own truth to the mind of Mr. Suggs
—the one was, that a man who had never
been at Augusta, Could not know any tiling
about that city, or any place or thing else;
tire other, that one who had been there must,
of necessity, ba not only well informed as lo
all things connected with the city itself, hut
perfectly aufait upon all subjects w hatso
ever. It was therelore iu a tone of mingled
indignation and contempt that he replied to
the last remark of Simi.u.
“ linh Smith says—does ft : 1 And who's
Bob ISmilli ! Much tines Boh Smith know
about August r ! lie’s been thar, 1 reckon!
Slipped off yearly one morniu’. w hen nobody

—ha ! ha ! Bob—Smi-th ! The eternal
stink ! if he was only to see one o’ them fine
gentlemen in Augusty, with bis fine broad
cloth and bull ciinvn hat, and shoe boots a
shinnin’ like silver, he’d take to the woods
and kill himself a-rumiin’. Bob Smith !
that’s whar all your devilment comes from,*
Simon.”
“Bob Smith’s as good as any body e'se.
judge; and a heap smaller than sune. lie
showed mo how to iui Jack,” cutiiinued
Simon, “and that’s more nor some people
can do,'if they have been to Augusty.”
“If Bob Smith kin do it,” said the old man,
“ I kin too. I don’t know it by that name ;
but if it's book knowledge or plain sense,
and Bo!> kin do it, it’s reasonable to s’pose
that old Jed’diah S.uggs won’t he bothered
bail. Is it any ways siniilyar to ihe rule of
three, Simon !”
“ I’ietty much, daddy, but not adzaclly,”
said Simon, drawing a pack from his pock't
to explain-—‘‘Now, daddy,” he proceeded,
“you see those here four ca r ds is’ w ltal we
call the Jacks, Well, now, tho idee is, il
you’ll take tli'e dfcck and mix ’em all up to
gether, I’ll take oft’ a passel from the top,
and the bottom one of them 1 take off will be
one of the jacks-”
‘•Me to mix’em fust,” said old Jed’diah.
‘Yes.”
‘•And yoiknot to se-C but the hack of the
top one, when y'otr go to “co-,” as you call
it i”
“Jist so, daddy.”
“ And the backs all jist aB like as kin be?”
said the senior Suggs, exsiuining the cards.
“ More lika nor cow peas,” said Sitnyti.
“ It can’t be done, Simon,” observed flic
old iiYntr, with great solemnity.
“Bob Smith kin doit, and bo kin I.”
“I’s agin nafer, Sunon ; ihuram’t a man
in Augusty, nor on top ol the yearth that kin
do it.” r
• Daddy,” said our hero, ‘‘ef you’ll bet mo
“What!” tlvumdered old Mr. Suggs. “£fe!y
did you siy V* and ho C imo down with a
scorer across Simon’s shoulders—“me, Jed
tliah Suggs, that’s been in the Lord’s sarvice
these twenty years— me bet, you nasty, sas
sy, triflin’, ugly—”
• hdidn’t go to say that,daddy; that warn’t
what I mcan’t adz icily. 1 meaut lo say that
es you’d let me oft’ from this hero maulin’ you'|
owe me, and g ioe me ‘Bunch,’ es I cut Jack,
I’d gift you all this ere silver, es 1 didn’t—
that’s all. To be sure, I alters kuowd you
Wouldn’t bet.”
’ Old Mr. Suggs ascertained the amount of
i the silver which hia sou banded him, in an
old leathern pouch, for inspection. He also,
mentally, compared that sum wuh the ima
ginary one, the supposed value of a certain
Indian pony, called ‘‘Bunch,” which he had
bought for iris “uld woman's” Sunday riding
and which had sent the uld woman into a
fence corner, the first—and only—time she
had ever mounted him. As lie weighed the
pouch of silver iu his hand, Mr. Suggs also
endeavored to analyse the character of the
transactibn proposed by Minion. It sartainly
can’t be nothin'but givju’ no way it kin be
twisted, he murmured to himself. “ 1 know
he can’t do it, so there’s no resk. What
makes beltin’. The resk. It’s a one-sided
business, and Til jist lei him give me Ml liis
money, that’ll put all his wild sportin’notious
out of his head.”
“ Will you stand it, daddy 1” askSd Si
mon, by way of \?aking the old man up.
*• You inought as well for the whippiu’ won’t
do you no good and as for Bunch, nobody
about the plantation won’t ride him, hut me.”
‘■Sin on,” repl ed the old man, “I ifgree to
it—Your uld daddy is in a close place about
payin’ for his laud ; and this here money—
it’sjist eleven dollars, lacking of twenty.five
cen s —will help out mightily. But mind,
Simon, es any thing’s said about this here
after, remember you give me the money.”
“ Very well, daddy, and es the thing
works up instid o’ down, 1 s’pose we’d say \
you give Bunch —eh ?”
“ You won’t never bo troubled to tell how
you come by Bunch ; the thing’s agin natur
and can’t be done. What old Jed’diah
Suggs, knows, he knows as good as anybody.
Give me them fixanreuls, Simon.”
Our lieiu handed tlie cards to liis father,
turned his back to that individual, in order
to prevent his witnessing the operation of
mixing. lie then sat down and very leisure- !
ly cummenced shutting the cards, making, !
however, an exceedingly awkward job ol it.!
Restive kings and queens jumped Irom liis j
hands, ut obstinately refused to slide into the
company of the pack. Occasionally, a
sprig..tly knave would insist on facing his
neighbor; or pressing his edge against an
other’s, half double himself up, and then
skip away. But Elder Jeil’diah persevering
ly continued liis attempts to subdue the re
tractor}-, while heavy drops burst from his
forehead und ran down his cheeks. Allol’a
sudden an idea, quick and penetrating as a
rifle-hall, seemid to have entered the crani
um of the uld man. He chuckled audibly.
The devil had suggested to Mr. Suggs an
impromptu ‘stock.’ which would place the
chances ol Simon—already sulHcienlly slim
in tho old man’s opinion—without the range
ol'possibi'iiy. Mr. Suggs forthwith proceed
ed to cull out all the /liefer cards— so as to
be certain to include the yacks—and place
them at the bottom ; with the evident inten
tion of keeping Simon's fingers above these
when he shou il cut. Our hero, who was
quietly looking o.er his father’s shoulders
all ihe time, did not seem alarmed by this
di-position of the cards ; on the contrary he
smiled, as if he felt perfectly confident of suc
cess, iu spile of it.
•’Now, daddy,” said Simon, when his father
had announced himself ready, “uarry one ot
us aint got to look at the .cards, while I’m
cuttrir’ ; T if wb do, it will spile the conjura
tion.”
“ Very well.”
“Arid another thing—you’ve got to look
tire fight dead in the eye, daddy—will you!”
“To be sure —to be sure,” said Mr. Suggs;
“fire away.”
Sirnoii walked up close to his father,’ ami
placed liis hand off the deck. Old Mr.
Sugg’s looked in Simon’s eye, and Simon
returned the look for about three seconds,
during which a close observer might have
detected a suspicious working aoout llie
wrist of the hand-on llie cspds, hut the elder
Suggs did not remark it.
“Wake snake* ! day’s a breakin’! Rise,’
Jack I” said Simon, cutting half a dozen
cards from the top of the pack, and present
ing the lace of the bottom one for live inspec
tiuu of his father.
!t was J„ck of Hearts !
Old Mr. Suggs staggered back several
steps, with uplifted eyes and hands !
“Mere,ful master !” he exclaimed, “efthe ,
boy liaiut ! well, how iu the round creation
of ihe ‘. Ben, did you ever 1 to he sure
and sariin, salan has power on thisyearlh !”
‘and Mr. Suggs groaned in heavy bitterness.
“You never seed nntlifu’ like that in Au
guily, did ye. daddy 1” asked Simon with a
maheious xvinii at Bin.
“ S.inuii, how rid you do it ?” querried
ihe ill man, without noticing hiu son's ques
tion- • - si ■, . ,
“Doit,'daddy I —Do ill ’Taint nothin’.
I done if jest as easy as —shoutin’.”
Whether this explanation was entirely, or
in any degree, satisfactory lo the perplexed
mind of elder Jed'diah Suggs, cannotmfter
the lap'se of time which has iiite'rvenedf fie
sufficiently ascertained. It. is certain,'how
ever, that he pressed, tho investigation no
farther, but merely requested liis eon Benja
min to witness ihe fact that, in consideration
of his love and afleciiou for bis sou Simon,
and in order to furnish the di nee with the
means ofleaving that portion of the Sipte ,of
Georgia, he bestowed upon him the impracti
cable puney “Bunch.”
“Jest so, daddy ; just .so; I'll witness that.

It was evident to our hero that his father
intended he should remain but one more night |
beneath the'paternal'roof. What mattered

He went home at night, curried and fed

JOSEPd BoNAPAIITE.
Among the occurrences which,’ in taking a
retrospect of the past year, seem to demand
some more notice than in the hurry us the
hour was awarded to it, in this Country, is
tliedeath us the eminent personage mention
tinned at the head of this article.
Joseph Bouapirte, or us he was known
among us, Count Stinilliers, passed so many
years an exile in our country, and won dur
ing those years, so much respect and kindly
feeling by his conduct, that we have tho iglit
it might not be uninteresting to our readeis,
as it seems in some measure due lu the mem
ory of one who is Ireshly remembered by
many warm friends among us, to have a brief
notice of his life ami death.
Joseph, the elder brother of Napoleon, and
through hie his most intimate triend, was
burn iu Corsica in 1763. Hu was together
with Napoleon educated at Autun, where the
tendency of their respective tastes and char
acter developed itself by their prelerence of,
or excellence in particular studies —Joseph
the man c’f letters and peace, doing fur Ins
soldier brother his Latin and Greek verses ;
while the future conqueror studied Ctesar
and Alexander, aud helped his brother iu the
mathematics.
Elected a deputy fiom Ajaclo to the Cor
sican assembly in 1790, he ardently embrac
ed the principles of the Trench revolution,
which he cherished to liis death.’ He was,
speculatively, always a friend to Freedo ii,
and though the crown of two nations had
graced his brow, and two others tendered to
Inin— me in this our new world, were spt
aside by him—lie did not m power forget, so
far as lie was free lo act, his early pledges.
liis career in Trance was rapid and bril
liant. In 1(90, lie was llie Trench Ambas
sador at Rome—subsequently a member of
the Council of Five Hundred, aud in 1800 a
Counsellui of Siate, in which capacity lie,’
together with lloederer concluded a com
mercial treaty between France and the Uni
ted States. He was the plenipotentiary who
signed the treaty of Laneville, which gave
peace to the continent in 1801—and ’.lie tiea
ty of peace with England at Amiens in 180 ff
When the Empire arose, Napoleon being
without tunic issue, Joseph aud his brother
Louis, aud their descend mts, were looked to
as the successors of the Emperor ; and then
it tvas that Napoleun first required that Jo
seph, su distinguished in civil and diplomatic,
lile, should put on the harness of the soldier.’
lie insisted that one to whom the succession
might tall, should he versed in military, as
well as iu civil conduct, and accordingly Jo
seph became Colonel of a regiment in the
famous camp ol Boulogne
White there,’ the cruWn of Lombardy xvas
offered to him, but he refused it because tbe
Emperor made it a condition of acceptance,
that he should announce liis claim to the
succession of the Empire, and moreover that
he should pa’y an anrfuat tribute to Trance.
In 1306, at the head of an army cf 40,000
men, he wus comm ssioned lo overthrow the
English and Russian domination in Naples,
and the throne of Queen Caroline. 11.-easily
and rapidly effected live conquest, aud his
own brow bore the crown winch he had con
quered. liis brief reign of tyvdyeftrs was a
succession of benc-fi siu a people who had
been long degraded by a most oppressive
despotism. He founded civil and military
schools—some of which yet exist—over
threw feudal privileges—suppressed the con
vents—opened new roads—caused ttie Laz
saroni of Naples to wo k and be paid—drain
ed marshes—and every where animated with
new file aud h'ope a people long sunk in ab
ject servitude. Joseph was hero hi his’ eto
•’lent, for he loved to do good.
From these scenes, so congenial to him, he
was called by the Emperor in _IBJB, to Bay.
onue, aud there the ciown of Spain was lorc
,ed upon him. In his new sphere he strove to
pursue his previuus.conrse aud by mildness &
persuasion and benefits conferred to concil
iate the affection ot Spain. Ho besought the
Emperor lo withdraw all the French troops,
tiuslinrf bj> frank’ and loyal conduct towards
the Spauiaids to obtain their confidence and
support. Ilia roqiiSHt was not acceded to,
and the hatred and jealousy of foreigners,
: which mark the Spanish character, exasper
ated by the clefgy stfd encouraged by the
presence ol'a large English Army, rendered
ail Joseph’s efforts for q. peaceful success,
such as he Imd accomplished in Naples, im
possible. lie was obliged to pe the so tl.er,
and although worsted in the event, he gave
in the various battle-fields where he was pre
sen*, decisive indication of courage aud con
duct. Wearied with a yfrugglej
’ which promised no opportunity fur the exer
cise of the kindly plans he alone desired to
carry out in liis new kingdom, ho wrote to the
Emperor, onßrd Match, 181'J, iruip Madrid,
earnesily asking permission to resign the
crown that four years before had been iinpoa.
ed upon him.
fii that fetter he says“ I have done no
good and have no hope of and >ing any. In ac
cepting the crown 1 had no ether object in
view than the promotion of the happiness of,
this great monarchy. It has not been in my
power to accomplish’ it. 1 therefore ask to
be received by your rnujes y as a simple,
subject.” Permission was refused, but the
fortune of war drove Joseph from Ins crown
and kingdom and he was once more iu
France—The reverse* of 1813-14, had
overtaken French triumph^y the capital
was menaced j Napoleon wit i the fragment
iof Ills victorious ainiics war mmcßjvering
j between the Marne and the Seine, with the
j hope of covering Paris—but theoverwiieim
| ing number of the advetsary rendered *ttp
; cess hopeless.’ Front liheiins on the JGih
March, 1814, he wrote to Joseph, to whom,
on leaving Paris, he confided the tie fence of
the capital, and the care of the Empiess
and her eon—recalling him and renew
ing Ill’s instruction hH ter .permit ei
ther Mtrie Louise or tlie’king of Rome to
fall into the hands of the enemy. lu tins
letter ho says emphatically, “Q. lit not tny
son, 1 and remember 1’ wool 1 rather know
him to bft hi the Seine than in the hands of the
CneijpkTof FrSICT. The fortune of As-
Tyftex, prisoner us the Greeks, has always
appeared to’ bb the oiosl melancholy lortane
recorded in history.”
This letter determined Joseph to send off
she Empress and ffet son, and tho next day
he followed them; a course for which he
has been much reproached, as hastening the
fall of Paris, however, which wu itievtiable,
and the chances of delaying it a lew hours,
wen it *l weighed by J iseph against the sa
cred fidellity wuh which he resolved t i ex
ecute the Etuperur's injunctions abotrt his
fatnly.’
Al tar tlm abdication of Napoleon, Joseph
retired to Lausanne. Sjm the events of
1 the hundred days found firm ngaip in Faria,
and again deepfy inirusled by hia brother.-
In a memoir of Joseph, by the prisoner of
Ham, his nephew Louis Napoleon, it t-rv
lated tbat upon-his sugceltion, Napoeon

possess of eloquence and influence to te*
animate the c lalition against the Empefoh
I cannot recall what is past —i should de
stroy myself without serving him—Oh!—
that you had come a few hours sooner!”
W ith the final downfall of Ndpoleon, Jo
seph’s public career terminated. He cam*
to this country and established himself ai
Point Breeze, on the Delaware - living the
life of a gentleman of accomplished educa
tion, rt-fined tasiej and libirat hospitality;—
While Napoleon lived be still hoped—af*
ter Jm died; and wtf.te his sdo still lived,
yet did he continue to hope—and when tho
revolution of IS -0 burst forth in Paris, ho
addressed from this city an eloquent Protest
to the Chamber of Deputies against theiras
auniing to place on the throne, without con
sulting the nation, any other family than
lhai of Bonapaite. ‘Napoleon,’ said he ‘iva'd
called to the throne by llitefc millions five
hundred thousand,—votes and if the na
tion think’s right lo make another choice, it
has the right, but it alyne. Napoleon ll
was proclaimed by (he Chambers in 1855,
which recognised in him a right conferred
by the Nation. I accept for hint atl the
modifications discussed by tlidt chamber,
which was rudely dissolved by foreign bay.
onents.’ The Protest was unheeded. Tbe
youngei branch of the Bourbons was placed
on llie throne; and still, as under the elder
uranch, the name and family of Bonapaftd
were proscribed from the soil of France.
Abandoning, thenceforth, not bis interest
for the honor und welfare of Trance, but atl
expectation of being permitted to contri
bute thereto irrh.-clf; he passed liis dsys. in
tranquii philosophy on the banks of the Del

him a crown in the new woflrl. which, with

In this cotintry, Joseph was known only
by beucfactious. Ol m .st amiable and cour

and without any of the pretensions willi which

of fiequ'enily witnessing their experiments
with differently formed machines, hav
ing for their objects the product ion of
tins wonderful light. Yesterday we were
invited to attend ttio last one to be made in
the West. It proved successful. The ap
paratus with which their light is made, is
etna'll, to’ allow of easy transp iftatran.’ But
it may bo increased to an indefinite extent,
and with its enlargement is the increase of tbe
size of the light. From our own observation
we should suppose the power oi the fight
could not-be increased. We never could
conceive a light more brilliant. Though but
the size of a pea, it is sufficient to illuminate
quite a large room, and forbids the steady
glance of the eye. Tne b'laze of a candle
twenty feet distant from llie appara'tus,’ and
iffree feet from the wal', casts upon the wall
a thick sliaifovv—io much’ mure brilliant hi
“t,he lighj,” though not one twentieth llie size
of ahe candle's flame. What will be tbe
power of litis light u beu increased to the Size
ol a gaslight: We can. ot conceive.
Ata distance the li'lit looks unlike other
illuminations—thro.ving out most tieaufitiil
rays, which, fiiiely colored, spread inagrt.fi
cemlv from the br glit centre. The inven ors
say they can make the fight of different co
