D ie bae. was placed on the “parquetted” Hour < Dr.
Tndree recommends a carpet iof the room. Round the

‘•idVorne’ds magnetic chain, which is effected by each
i., ing his hands lightly on the margin of tlieta
hle axid [dacing the little finger of hia nght hand on
tin; of his neighbor’s left. The chairs must be a foot
•art. and care taken that none of the dresses come in
contact. The feet must not touch the table. All rings
u 1 bracelets, iu the case now related, were removed.
\ tier the experiment had lasted about a:i hour, the
~i,le began to exhibit an almost imperceptible undula
,:„g movement. Some minutes after it was convulsive
iv jerked to the right and left, and finally it turned to
the right on its own axes with such velocifv, that the
■ rsoiis forming the chain, who had in the meantime
risen, were obliged to run ia order to keep pace with
fee new-fashioned locomotive. The movement was so
violent that the by-standera were soon obliged to re
live the original actors. When one person left the
chain and another entered, there was a slight iuterrup
t nos the eb'ctrlc stream, but in fevo’or three minutes
the table was dancing about the room as before.
Iu the course of the experiment, which altogether
lasted two hours and a quarter, it became evident that
some persons possess far greater magnetic powers than
others. If, when a chain had been formed, the table
s.vmed disinclined to continue its exertions, ouc gen
t/eman, a man of great strength and size, could always
immediately arouse its dormant energies. The cir
cumstauce induced some persons, to fancy that, by press
ing the palms of liis hands forcibly on the table, he
gave it an artificial impetus; but, to convince them that
such was not the case, he hooked his little fingers into
those of liis neighbors, aud barely touched the table
with the tips of his thumbs. If the dress of any liuk iu
the chain was touched, the electric fluid escaped, ami
the table stood still; and the same effect was produced
it it was touched by a bystander. The sensations ex
perienced by the aetiinentalista, before the magnetic fluid
was equally distributed through ail liuks of the chain,
were very different, but the most common were heat,
tingling, and pulsation in the hands and arms, and
pains in the head. Iu two eases ladies tainted; but
this is hardly calculated to excite surprise, as there is
.something weird iu the w hole affair. An agent of the
p.!ice, w ho suddenly found himself in the presence of a
of table-movers in expectation, w ould proliahly
take them for a gang of conspirators just swearing ti

those in action, are like so many wild witches and
warlocks. After quitting the above mentioned house, I
went to the Mercantile Club, where an unsuccessful
trial was made On leaving the chain one of the gen
tlemen affirmed that his watch “had gone backwards
during the experiment.” The assertion caused consid
erable hilarity at the time, but my own watch, which is
known to Dent, of Charing cross, as a capital one, went

Americas Nicknames in Franck.— A Paris letter wri.
ter quotes an agreeable article in the Journal dos Debate
< n the nicknames given by the Am ricans to their great’
men. tfome of them are even more graphic and de
scriptive in French than in English. Ihm-l—Xoir is a
little softer than Black Dan, w hich needed softening.
L* Devin is hardly equal to the Godlike, and L Grand
i>t nr is certainly inferior to the Great Expound
er—just :is explaining is subordinate to expounding.
L Garcon d< Chant/’ is a fair rendering of the Wagon
Boy. Old Rough and Ready is translate'll by I leux
Rude et Prei- -taut. This is energetic and suggestive,
but has the misfortune to resemble the slang soubri
quets of the Paris desperados and of the more flashy of
the swelt-mob Mr. Van liuren is to be know nin
Fraace as Is> Petit Sorrier.
Kenton is Frenchified into Vieux IJsgot, or Old lu
g't. Old Junk of Gold, Old Bullion. Scott’s haste plate
of soup is so disfigured, that if means quite another
thing. It is rendered by Cite, tine assietts-dssoupe :
Quick 1 a plate of soup here—as if the < ieneral was cal
ling to the sutler for his dinner on a drum-head, in the
midst of a Hiking tire. The Debats states, indeed, that
this is the meaning—“descriptive of a battle, interrupt
ed by an improvised repast.’ The French are not par
ticularly good at nicknames. The Little Corporal is
perhaps their triumph in this line of invention.
A Dor. Stout. —The following well authentica
ted dog story is worth telling; A provision dealer of
tiiis city, who lives in Somerville, owus two dogs, one a
large and stout Newfoundlander, aud the other a much
smaller dog. Frequently the provision dealer walks to
this city, aud is usually accompanied by the small dog.
Near East Cambridge the dog had been often attacked
and bitten by a dog of that viciuitv. The Newfound
land dog has never been in the habit of accompauing
his master, bnt the other day, the gentleman found af
ter starting for the city w ith his small dog, that the
Newfoundlander was also following him. He drove him
back twice, and finally supposed he had gone home.
Oil reaching East Combridge, the little dog's old enemy
made his apjieaiance and commenced his usual attack,
but the little cur instead of running, as was his custom,
this time turned upon his enemy and showed fight.
The mystery of this courage was, however, soon ex
plained, for directly came bounding towards the com
batants. the littie dog’s old friend, the twice driven back
Sewfoundler, and the two Somerville dogs together tur
ned too and gave the East Cambridge bully a thorough
trouncing. This accomplished, the little dog went oti
his wav rejoicing to Boston, while the Newfoundlander
turned on his tracks and trotted towards Somerville,
saving, no doubt, as well as dogs can say—“ There sir,
now learn to let a little fellow, half vonr size, alone, when
he goes by vour kennel, or you’ll get it worse next time.”

Presidential Statistics.— Since the formation ©f
the United States Constitution the people hare elected
twelve persons to the presidential chair, all of whom
are now dead with the exception of Martin Van Btiren
and (leneral Pierce. During the same period of time,
thirteen persons have occupied the position of Vice-Pre
sident, but four of whom are now living, Martiu Van
I’uren, John Tyler, George M. Dallas and Millard Fill I
more. The President who lived longest after vacating j
the presidential chair, was John Adams, who survived
that period twenty-five years. His son, John Quincy
A.lams, and James Madison, rank next to him in that
respect, both living nineteen years. Mr. Polk died
within three months after he left the sswt of govern
ment and Gen. Washington lived but a little over two
years after hefreturned to the shades of Mount Vernon.
Among the Vice-Presidents, Aarou Burr lived over
thirty years after his term of office had expired, aud
John Adams was survivor about the same period of
time. It is a singular coincidence that three of four Pre
sidents who figured iu the days ot the revolution, expi
red oa the itb of July; John Adams, Thomas Jefferson
and James Monroe, the two first-named both dv ing on
the same anniversary, being the fiftieth from the time
independence was declared in 1776. Samuel L. South
ard, of New Jersey, who, as President pro km, ot the
Senate, performed the duties of Vice-President under
Mr. Tyler, when he was elevated to the Chief Magistra
cy by the death of Gen. Harrison, died while serving
in that capacity, iu 1842. —Cm*. Inquirer.
Abandonment or Fort Atkinson. —We understand
that the Department of War contemplates abandoning
Fort Atkinson, or Sumner, near the site of old Fcrt
Man, on the Upper Arkansas, and transferring the
troops occupying it to a now site on Walnut Creek, con
siderably this side of the former. Walnut Creek has
the advantage of tine grazing, excellent water, aud a
comparatively good supply of timber. Being the only
post, however, between the Missouri and the eastern
border of New Mexico, it would seem to beau insuffi
cient protection for nearly seven hundred miles of
greatly exposed laud travel.— Washington Intelligencer,

£3*” Wiley Hoffman, of Emanual County, was shot
bv his wife on Suuday evening, the Ist inst. The Cen
tral Georgian says—“ The facts, as we have them from
a gentleman of that county, seem to be as follows:
Hoffman had been at some of the neighboring dram
shops during the day, and had become very much in
toxicated ; he started for home, anil arrived late in the
evening: he took his guu and shot a dog lying in the
yard, at which his wife made some remarks; he then
turned to her and commenced abusing and cursing her,
swearing that he would kill her, and nicked up his gun
and attempted to shoot. She ran ana he after her, he
threw* the gun at her, then took up a stake some eight
or nine feet long, pursued her, and coming up w ith her,
knocked her down. After recovering enough to rise,
he still thumping her; she drew a pistol and shot him
in the breast, he then drew his knife, she ran again, he
after her, and continued the pursuit till he fell from ex
haustion ; he lived but a short time after he fell.”
-Mrs. Hoffman was bound over to the Superior Court
of the county. If the above facts be true, the man
whose privilege it will be to defend this poor woman
before the bar of her country, will be but a poor advo
cate if he fails to acquit her. What is a woman to do
under such circumstances ? We say defeud herself,
even unto death.

If it does not give relief, the money will be returned;

PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JURY OF HOUS
TON COUNTY.
PAN E L N 0.2.
\V E, THE GRAND JURORS, —of Panel No. 2, se<
V t lected, chosen and sworn, for the comity of
Houston, at the April Term, 1853, beg leave to make
the following Presentments.
The Grand Jury of Panel No. 1, have relieved us
from the most ol our labors, they having examined and
reported the condition of the offices and books of the
Clerks of the Superior and Inferior Courts, and of the
Treasurer of the county, and the condition of the public
buildings. We concur iu the report and presentments
made by them, with two exceptions.
We disapprove of the recommendations made bv
them, for the erection of a Poor House, believing that
its adoption will cause an additional tax upon our al
ready high rates. Taking economy for our guide, wo
think the poor ©four county cau be as well provided
for under our present system, as they could in a Poor
House, and at less expense to the county.
We also take the liberty respectfully todissent from
that portion of the Presentments ot Panel No. 1, which
recommends to the Interior Court,the propriety of lay
ing a per cent, on thcgcueral state tax, to pay Grand Ju
rors one dollar a dav, for their services.
We see nothing in the Presentments of Panel No. 1,
concerning our Patrol Laws. We therefore recommend
to our Interior Court, a strict enforcement of the laws
relating to that subject.
We most respectfully suggest, that the Justices of
the Peace, whose duty it is to appoint Patrol C’arnpa
nies, should discriminate in the appointments of the
Captains of such Companies, and appoint iu all cases
men of experience and discretion, as it is frequently the
ease, that those appointments are given to inexperien
ced young men, who defeat the very object, for which
they were selected under the law.
In taking leave of his honor, Judge Iverson, wc ten
der him our thanks for his courtesy, consideration and
kindness towards this body, during our connection with
the Court. We, also, present to Solicitor General, W.
K. DeGraffenreid, our thanks for his prompt and effi
cient discharge of duty, and his uniform politeness to
us as Grand J urors.

Artificial Teeth on a JYew Plan. —By this method,
several important points are gained. Ist, great strc-ngih ;
2d, a perfect artificial gum, as any desirable tint may !*e
given ; 3d, the entire cleanliness of the whole, as not the
slightest mixture can get between the plate and teeth.
Cleansing and Filling with Gold and Tin Foil. Tooth
ache cured in most cases without extracting, and it not
too far decayed, plugged so as to arrest further decay.
Teeth extracted without the use of the Turnkey, being
much less painful than the usual mode. Being acquain
ted with the latest improvements in the science of Den
tistry, we feel confident in saying that our operations
will be performed on the most scientific principles, and
in the neatest possible manner, and in most cases, giv
ing little or no pain to the patient. BernypPerimn*oi
