a shout story or trance.
The nirr|)t was a temptuous ono -
The scene was dismally black, and the
waters moaned as they rolled onward.
35ut tlie storm had not driven every
body from the streets of Paris, for a
datk form crossed one of die bridges
and in a lew moments had passed un
der die shadow of a building.
Presently a second person, and that
of a female, passed in the same direc
tion and halted almost in tho suino
spot. Then the hr.-t party whispered
a name, and the second, with a low
exclamation of pleasure, sprang into
tho urrns extended io receive her. As
she did so, she asked :
‘Oh, Herman, why did you request
me to meet you in this strange place,
and at this late hour? I aiu really
frightened, for everything is so dismal,
ami the river is so dark ’
‘Hush—not so loud, Juiie, and I will
explain ’
‘Ob, do at once, and let us depart ’
‘Fear nothing, my darling, while I
am with you. But the fact is this—l
have been guilty of the crime of forg
ery, and the police are on my track.—
1 must leave Paris at once, and I sent
for vou to ask you it vou will go with
me?’
‘Certainly—anywhere. But I have
something I would like to say if vou
will promise not to bo angry with me,’
she said. •
‘I v ill not, my darling Julie,’ he an
swered.
‘My brother, Francis, says that you
are not the poor man you represent
yourself to be, but that you aie weal
thy and great, and will never make me
your wile. Now Herman, will you
not give the lie to ibis by wedding me
at once ? You know I have given up
all for your sake. ’
‘You may trust me, Julie, you shall
be rnv wife. But the night is cold, wo
will not remain hero.’
‘Gome, then.'
•'Stay. First let me wrap your shawl
closer around you.’
The man had so arranged tho cover
ing that it held the arms of tha girl
close to her side. Then lie bandaged
them down with tho toarf, which he
tied firmly around her body. Sti 1,
not suspecting any foul play, the giri
laughed and said :
‘You have j iniored my arms ns
tightly as /I I w as to he leu to execu
t’on.’
‘ A nd you ore,’ growled the villain,
as he suddenly hurled her forward
Her wad arose upon the night air
and mingled with ihe howling wind. A
splash was ie-ardju tho water, and
then all was still. As the monster
gazed down into the black liquid, ho
said :
•W ell, you are forever out of my
way, and will no lon.er stand bet w een
me and my desires 1 can henceforth
fee! that 1 am free.’
'1 he man had scarcely uttered these
words when lie felt a powerful grasp
laid upon him, and tuning his head
he saw hut uiie pe.son near him. fa
sten ly his hand wandered io his bos
om, and he drew forth a revo ver, but
it was quickly torn from his grasp
Still, he had a dagger about ii in, and
he clutched th s, but his arm received
such a violent blow that it 101 l help'ess
by his side, lie began a fearful strug
gle, Lut it was useless, for the man
who held him Was as powerful as a
giant.
Now he was lifted up and carried
back as if he had been a child Boon
he found himself in a gloomy cuilur,
and upon the damp ground. There
burned a dim light, which was emit
ted from an oil lamp. But no third
person appeared to he present.
Presently tlie villain heard voices
and he turned towards the door. He
saw two men enter, one of whom bore
iu his arms an inanimate form, lie ad
vanced and placed it upon the ground
near tlie light Then the viliiau saw
the garments dripping with wa’er, and
he recognized his victim She had
been dragged from the river, but uot
in time to save her life.
Over her body her rescuer knelt and
a groan escaped him as he appeared
to become satisfied that life extinct in :
the poor creature. But ho sudden
ly started lo his feet and confronted
the murderer, bis eyes glaring wildly
and his hi east heaving with excitement.
The murderer recognized him in an in
stant, and he trembled as be exclaim
ed :
‘Francis Lumley!’
‘Aye, and the brother ol your vic
tim.’
‘1 did not intend to harm her—it
was an accident—for I— ’
‘What do you mean ?’
‘1 was about leaving the place with
her, when she stumbled and foil into
the water,’
‘Fiend, there lies the body of her
you first so fi.ully wronged, and then
murdered, that, ev<.-n as you expressed
yourself, she might no longer stand be
tween you and ywir desires. Look
upon her ghastly Lee—look upou it, 1
say, and as you do so, repeat the fie
you have, uttered, but at tho same
tune remember that those words will
bo about tho last you will ever utter in
this world.’
‘Would you kill me?’
‘As sure as you are breathing, you
will Lie in another world in sis eon min
ules from this time. Swift Revknos
is my motto !’
‘You dare not harm me.’
‘And why not, pray V
‘My family are rich amt powerful.—
They would bo most terribly avenged
for my death.’
‘Let their vengeance fall. Were you
the Emperor himself nothing now could
save you Mon, prepare him for his
burial,’
The frightened wrdch watched the
proceedings for a moment iu silence,
and then he began to give utterance to
fearful shrieks. Not the slightest at
tmnpt was made to check those sounds
But the men rroceeded to tie his hands
tightly to jiis side, or.d then to bind
his ankles together. This done, they
then attached a heavy weight to his
feet
The wretch began now to under
stand w’nat was to ho done, bo began to
beg most piteously’ for ht» life. But
when he saw this was of no avail, ho
once more set up his bowlings
Everything ready, he was raised
in tho aims of the men and taken to
the side ol the river. Then the word
was given, and the form of the villain
went whirling through tho spaeo. An
agonizing cry rang out cs the splash
was heard, and then all became silent
as the dark waters engulped tlie mur
derer, even as they had closed over his
poor victim only a few moments be
fore.
That was a swift revenge.
Tin* D<*i»tli of fli<* Ocean.
Until within a comparatively recent
period, nothing was positively known
concerning the depth or bottom of tho
ocean. Bailors had dropped (he sound
ing line, and had seen it carried *out
thousands of feet without touching of
bottom. No they bolievod the sea fath
omless. There was a popu'ar theory
that the ocean's greatest depth corres
ponded to the highest elevition on land.
Dr. Whcwell inferred that the Atlantic
contained valleys to be fathomed only
by a nine mile line ; and less than a
dozen years ago, Mr. Darling maintain
ed before the Brinish Association, that
as the ocean coveaed three times as much
area as the land, its greatest depressions
must be three times as creat as the cle
vaiion of the highest mountains It
would seem that these theories might
ba ra-ily tested. Sounding was apja
rently a simple process : only toss over
1 the plummit, and it would carry its line
directly to the bottom. But it was
I found to be by no means so simple a
j process. Lieutenant Parker, of the U.
States navy, let go his line in the South
Atlantic, and found no bottom, though
ten miles of twine were run out. Sub
si quent investigations showed that die
true depth was hut three milts; atd
tbc discrepancy was ace uriled fu‘by
supposing the existence of u: der cur
rci ts, which gather the iiue into loops
j: ril carried it away. T
I Various coutiivar.ces for ringing bell*,
I exploding shells, and indicating the
pressure on a column of mercury, were
prop sed for ascertaiug when lottnni
was reached ; hut proved ineffectual.—
The plan which th'st gave satisfactory
results, was that employed in rhe Uni
ted States Navy. Vessels were furnish
ed with sounding twine carefully mark
ed at every hundred fathoms and wcuDd
cn reels of ten thousand fathoms each.
It was made the duly of (he com maud
era to avail themselves of every favors
hie opportunity lo try the depth of tho
oceaD, wheoever they found tbemsolves
out upon “blue water.’’ A cannon ball
of thirty two or sixty-eight pounds was
used as a plummit. From ibe weight
of the ball and the fineness of the twine
employed, it was rupposed as soon as
bottom was reached the streiu would
cease. Then, by breaking of the line
and seeing how much remained on the
reel, the depth eouid be ascertained im
mediately, at the expense of only one
cannon ball and a few pounds of com
mon twine.
The experiment.'first made with this
“twine” were as unsatisfacory as those
made according to utber methods.—
Lieutcnaut Berryman reported an un
successful attempt to reach bottom with
39,000 feet ; and Captain Denham
reached bottom in" the ISuuth Adantic
with 46,000 feet- Tho existence of
under currents rendered ail tho results
unreliable. But the law of descent was
soon discovered; the average time of de
scending 400 to 600 fathoms beiDg two
minutes, twenty-one second : for 1,000
to 1,100 fathoms, three minutes twen
ty-six seconds; for T,BOO to 1,900 fath
oms, four minutes, twenty-nine secon's.
It was evident, therefore, that while
the sinker drew out the lino at a de
creasing rate, the currents would draw
it out at a uniform rate; consequently,
as soon as the rate became uniform,
bottom had been’rracbod, and the Hue
should he cu*. These laws, however,
enables the experimenter to guard
against the gross r errors only, and very
high au'borities have denied that exact
results can bo obtained by it in deep
water. The regular movement of a
spiral shaped wheel when drawn through
water had attrseted attention in Lug
land, and it was found that the motion
could bo precisely registered by a sim
ple combination of eog-whocls. Such
an apparatus, knows as Massey’s Indi
cator, was tested by the Royal Navy,
and gave such satisfactory rosults, that
it at once suptrseded tho older method
not ODly in scientific purposes, but also
for ordinary use.
What, then, is ihe depth of the ocean 1
Modern investigations have groatly cur
tailed tbc ancient estimates. Tho av
• rage depth of the ocean is only about
three miles, and tho greatest positive
ca-t in the Atlantic does not exceed
twenty-five thousand feet. The deep
est portion of this ocean lies between the
(1 rand Banks and the Bermudas, where
bottom has not been found.
GEORGI V LEGISLATURE.
FOURTH DA Y.
\\ lin.NKSKAY, July, 8.
Senate met porsuatit to adjournment
l’rayer by Kev. Mr. .
Mr. Spear moved that tho report of
Committee oo ltulcs be taken up w hich
was agreed to, and after various amend
ments the report was adopted. The
section regarding Branding Committees
was amended, so as to have the num
ber of each increased to seven.
Mr. Wallaee (negro) moved to add
an additional seetisu, making Cushing’s
Manual the guide of the I’icsideut for
all points, not provided in the rules.
Aaron Alpecria Bradley (negro) ob
jected to theameutincut on tho ground
that there were several editions of the
book iu question, and which would they
take.
Wallace withdrew his amendment,
and another radical renewed it.
Campbell (negro) spoke in favor of it
on the ground that it would save time
oonsumtd by a| peals from the Chair.—
B sides we should nqt go to sea with
out a chart or compass—it was well
enough when near tho shore.
Bradley (negro) rose, with the rules
in his hands, and made a violent denun
ciatory spe; eh in opposition. Ihe rules
were sufficient as. his compass and guide
—and if auy member has ever suffered
from these internal, damnahfc spring
traps, it was himself. The President
could nor be bound to be governed by a
manual which he might nut understand
himself.
One Republican replied to Bradley,
in substance, that if this was inLrnai
damnable, spring-trap, he had sprung it
himselt iu the late Convention ; henco
he was surprised at the remark of the
Senator from thel-t Tho additional
section was adopted.
Mr. Spear (Had ) moved that 150
copies of the rates as amended he print
ed for the u-o of the S mate, together
with the names of Senators and their
place of retidcLse iu the city. Agreed
to.
Mr. Winn (Deni ) off. red a resolu
tion that all persons nominated by the
Governor for confirmation by the Sen
ate lie over three dnjs, and accompani
ed the same by a few timely and perti
nent remarks.* The rosolyri.lt was dis
agreed to.
A memorial was read concerning
lion. W. T. Winn aud others bolding
seats in this Senate contrary to the om
nibus bill, etc.
Mr. Candler moved to strike out the
words “and others.”
Mr. (Uad.q hoped that (he words
would not be stricken out ; that lie
knew that the laws of Congress fothid
any member here to hold his s at up- i
less his disabilities have been removed. I
He came hero for tbc purpose of seeing |
that the law is carried out fully.
Spear (Bad.) offered a substitute, ]
which included Messrs Graham, Moore ;
aud Winn aud all o'hers ineligible.
Mr. Burns (l)em.) movrd to add the
names of John Harris, Wallace, and
Campbell. Not allowed.
A motion was made to refer the sub
ject matter to a special Committee, and
objected to by several members because
it would create delay io legislation.
Mr. Candler spoke in exposition to
the measure. The acts of Congress may
deprive certaiu members of their seats,
aud he for ouo would never sauctini
arty rcconstrnetion laws, so help him
God. (Applause in the lobby.
The President ordered the Messen
ger to clear the lobby, but some mem
ber stated that as this was the first of
fense, he hoped the order would be re
voked. The consent of the Senate by
a unanimous vote, was given for the
lobbyists to retain their seats.
The effort of Mr. Candler was a mas
terly one, and he is no doubt cinvinced
that a great effort is about being inau
gurated to oust a number of D-usocratic
Senators.
Mr. Hungcrford (Rad ) the author
of the measure, spoke at length in fa
vor of the resolution, his main stay be
ing the omnibus bill aud the ltecoLStruc
tiong Acts.
Mr. llartis ( Radical, moved to rcfci
the whole mat/or to tho II unmittce on
Privileges and Elections, which was
agreed to.
Air. Candler offered a resolution which
was a wholesale onslought on the eligi
bility of the Radical members, embrac
ing lia.ris, Jones, Wallace aud Camp
bell.
This brought up Alpeoria agaia, who
said he was astonished that any num
ber would raise the question of theiuel
igibili'y if sorno Senators on account
of color, lie cared not whether this
emanated from the bra nos Joe Brown,
J iff. Davis, or even from the spititual
brain of God Limscif. [Sensation.] —
He quoted the 2d paragraph el the bill
of Rights in support of his argument
lie alluded to the charges preferred
against himself, and he was ready and
willing to purge the Senate Ot Waiters
and felous, whether for urging war
against the United States, or steal®g a
horse, cutting a man's throat, or for
N«.
promising when a youth to marry a wo
man an J did uot fulfill the obligation.
He would remiud Senatars that tbc first
blow s'ruek .‘or independence was by a
negro. Gut. Washington never fucud
an enemy without hrvit/g a negro at
his back ■ a foreigner be nevoi would
trust. Aaron departed from Ihc br.h
ject several times, and was reminded of
tho fact by Ibe President.
He closed by saying (hat unless his
race were a part and parcel of the mili
tia of this State, in less then 10 years,
thero would be a rebellion which would
exceed in magnitude and he more suc
cessful than the last. As for Governor
Brown, if these were his sentiments, to
proscribe his race ha woulh not vote for
him. Here the President reminded
him that he was out of ord.r, aud Aa
ron took his scat.
Ponding the consideration of Mr.
Candler’s rcolufien, the Senate adjourn
ed until 10 o’clock to-murrow.

A girl living in the family of one of
our aity officials was wooed and won by
a young man, every way worthy of hbf,
and last Friday was fixed as tha time
for tyiug the knot with tha tongue that
can’t bo untied w rth the teeth. Every
thing was prepared, the wedding har
ness purchased, the weddi’g sujp g
spread, the guests invited, and the groooa
arrayed georgeouly, awaited on the ap
pearance of tho bride, who had retired

marry ; she liked the would-be husband
well enough, but she had concluded to

entreated, but nil in vain. She had
i mind not to marry, and marry she
wouldn’t.
