Memphis, Vicksburg, Mo bile, Savannah and Charleston likewise report comparatively reduced lists of mortality. —“The committee had better spends its money where it will do good,” was John Sherman’s advice to the Republican breth ren on Thursday. Mr. Sherman ought to be more accurate in his quotations.

One article your town stands un- ’rivaled in—lamps; but in every other branch of the hardware trade the vigorous Yankees beat you. In agricultural and gardening implements, stoves, domestic ‘notions,’ and the thousand and one arti cles of hardware, English makers are nowhere here. For quality, adaptability, and price the American articles bear the palm. I was one day in the store of one of our leading hardware merchants, when a miner came in for a pick and shovel. He was asked which he would look at, English or American. ‘Oh, Yankee tools for me,“says the man; ‘English are too clumsy.’ My friend explained that the English will persist in makiug the tools their grandfathers used.” Tennessee Convention*.—The Ten nessee Democratic convention, now In session, has 1,330 delegates. It is said it will harmonize on everything but the State debt. Boueht by an Heiress. A small social circle in Saugerties is now awaiting developments in a roman tic affair that has come to light within the past few days, in which a young dry goods clerk in Saugerties and a Columbia county girl play the leading parts. The names of the parties are suppressed, hut the affair is of such an unusual character that it becomes a matter of public com ment. On Friday last the young clerk was busily engaged in cleaning the in terior of a front show-window', when z fashionably dressed and comely- young woman entered the store and asked the proprietor in a vivacious manner, what he would take for that article in the window, nodding significantly toward tire young man. The proprietor laughingly replied tbat he would sell him for a dish of ice cream. The young woman said: “Very well, I will take him,” and depart ed, returning a little later in the day with a female friend, w’hen she invited the proprietor out to a cream saloon to bind the bargain. The proprietor entered heartily into the spirit of the joke, and went with her. On his return to the shop the young woman accompanied him, and said, as she started to leave: “I am go ing home on Monday noon; so have that article ready for me, as I snail certainly call for it.” The clerk thereupon de murred, and said the bargain would not be binding unless he had a dish ef cream as well, at which the young lady said: “Very well, you shall have the cream,” and left, returning in a few moments with a dish of cream in her hands. The young man devoured the cream and en joyed a social chat with his purchaser, and becoming quite interested in her, made up his mind to stick. On Monday afternoon the young worn- i, true to her promise, drove up in a hack to the shop on Main street, and out stalked her purchase, clad in a new linen duster and store clothes, and with a hand bag and sun umbrella in hand. The hade drove off, amid the laughter and best wishes of the fellow-clerks of the young man, amid the congratulations of the proprietor to the young woman, who warranted the young man to wear well and hold his color, and tbat he would never fade. The party took the 2:39 train up the river, and on Monday evening the merchant re ceived a dispatch from the young woman stating that sho had arrived at home safely with her purchase. The girl is worth about $23,000 in her own name, and is about twenty years old. The young is fine looking, has a neat little hank ac count of bis own, and all say that the young woman might “go further and fare worse.” Burdette’s Two-Year-Old Boy. The boy runs about 150 miles a day, and wouldn’t quit then if it didn’t grow dark. He is very busy. He has all the care of me, and, in addition to his regular routine duties, lie manages a thousand things no one else would think of. Yes terday morning, before ten o’clock, he picked and ate," regardless of maturity or color, a pint of wild strawberries, follow ed a wagou half a mile down the road, got lost in the woods, choked up the fountain with gravel, fell out of a ham mock, stung himself with a bee, ate some strange-looking berries that his mother knows are deadly poison, played with a mad dog, (his aunt says sho knows it was mad), talked to a tramp who came to kidnap him, (it was an honest farmer coming in to the circus, but the boy’s aunt and mother united on the tramp and kidnapper theory), stepped on a red lizzard, built a dam and fell in to the brook. I helped him build the dam; in fact, I confess that I built the greater part of it, and enticed tho pr ince to assist, but he fell into the brock him self, and all statements to the effect that I pushed him in, and laughe d at him and encouragod him to enjoy it, are sim ply campaign stories circulated for politi cal effect.—Burlington Hawkeye. Some Things to Disbelieve. • When a man advertises for a partner, and wants a young man to put in a small in vestment of one hundred or five hundred dollars and promises to pay him a reali zation of fifty or one hundred per cent, profit, don-t believe it. When a man offers to give away knowledge of the utmost value tor the cure of consumption, and any and all other diseases, by merely send ing a three-cent postage stamp to prepay postage, don’t believe it. When a man rroposes to make every one else rich, and ooks to other people’s interest more than his own, don’t believe it. When a man offers to give you some thing of great value for something of less value—in other words, gives you some thing for nothing, don’t belie v.e it. Many persons advertise on purpose to filch young men of their money gained by hard labor, and before entering into any specu lation which may be offered to you take advantage of the many means at your command, ascertain the facts with refer ence to the proposed business before you invest, and thus save your money and as sist in effectually breaking up swindling establishments. Help the Children to Grow Erect. William Blackie, the author of “How to Get Strong and How to Stay So,” spoke before the Brooklyn Teachers’ Associa tion recently on “physical education.” “I want,” he said, “to see if by an informal talk we can’t hit upon some way in which we can bring the physical education of school children down to a practical basis. Our children, who are healthy and bux om when they begin school work, come out pale, sickly and with round shoulders. If you require the children under you to sit .back on a chair and to hold their chins up you will cure them ot being rouiid-sbouldcred, and the lungs and llicir vital organs will have free and healthy play. Another simple plan is to have the children bend over backward until they can see the ceiling. This exercise for a few minutes each day will work a won derful transformation. If a well qualified teacher could be employed to superintend the physical development of the children the best results would be seen.” The Man With a Glass Eye. As a train on the Kansas Pacific pulled away from the Sixteenth street depot, a few mornings since, a tall, angular speci men of humanity took a seat opposite a lady passenger, and to all appearances was engaged in studying her face. At first the lady treated the rudeness with ;ood naturcd indifference. , But at last it jegan to tell on her nerves. It was a pe culiar and astonishing piece of imperti nence. He apparently had the faculty of looking twq ways at once. One of his eyes was restless, excited, and roved in all directions. The other, fixed and stony, fastened on her with au undeviating stare. She turned her head away, but it intercepted her vision. She tried to hide behind a^aper but she felt that cruel eye piercing through the screen and creeping with a stony look all over her features. It seemed to be picking them up oireby one, and examining them with care. The thing became unendurable, and she cried out to him .fiercely: “Sir, why do you look at me so persist ently?” ■Me, madam; why, bless my soul! I haven’t been looking at yon.” “You have, sir—for half an hour or more your eye has been absolutely riveted on my face.” “I beg your pardon, madam, but it’s this eye, is it not?” lifting his finger to his left optic. “Yes, sir; it is that eye.” “Well, madam, that eye won’t do you any harm. It generally looks any way it pleases—it gives me agreat deal of trouble. A great maoy complain of it. At first I thought they were making fun of me, but I’ve found out differently, now. I’ve been knocked down two or three times for the impertinence of that eye. * I would leave ' out altogether but for the looks of the thing. It’s a glass eye, madam—only a glass eye. I hope you’ll excuse it. But, upon my soul, I’m not surprised that even glass eye should feel interested in so pretty a woman.” And he brought his other eye to bear upon her in undisguised admiration. The lady laughingly accept ed the explanation, and the rest of the journey was passed very pleasantly to both of them.—Rocky Mountain Mews. Historic Doubts. It has been strongly doubted whether Joan of Arc ever suffered the punishment that has made her a martyr, though de tails of her execution and last moments grace the civic records of Rouen. Several .books have been published discussing the question. A Belgian lawyer is the author of one of these. Ho contends that the historians—who have done nothing but copy each other in the narratives of her death—err exceedingly in saying that it took place' on tho last day of May, 1473 the fact being that she was alive and we! many years after that date. There are good grounds, too, for believing that the pretty tale of Abelard and Heloise is pure fiction. Nobody has yet unriddled tho mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask, and nobody seems likely to do so, while the identity of the writer of “Junius” letters is as far from being settled as ever. These are two insoluble enigmas, impenetrable myste ries that baffle solution, and about which, perhaps, the public has become tired of surmises. An extremely witty and characteristic anecdote told of Lord Beaconsfield will hear repetition. An adherent from a dis tant country brought his two sons to the then Mr. Disraeli, and asked him to give them a word of advice on their introduc tion into life. “Never try to ascertain,” said the illustrious statesman to the elder boy, “who was the man who wore the iron mask, or you will be thought a terri ble boro. Nor do you,” turning to the second, “ask who was the author of ‘Ju nius,’ or you will be thought a bigger bore than your brother.” Walpole wrote au ingenious work to show—taking for his base the conflicting statements in history and biography—that no such person as RieSard III. ever ex isted, or that if he did he could have been neither a hunchback nor a tyrant.” “His toric doubts relative to Napoleon Bona parte,” was published in London in 1810, and created widespread amusement be cause of its amazing cleverness. Napo leon, who was at that time a captive at St. Helena, admired the composition greatly. Archbishop Whately and Syd ney Smith were both reputed to be the author. Since the publication of that skit numerous imitations have been is sued, but none having shown much origi nality or literary skill, and have, there fore, vanished into the darkness of meri ted oblivion.—Globe. Queer Claimants of the English Throne. Medical men who devote special atten tion to mental diseases will have a good field for observation and argument in tho case of Mr. Thomas Buckton. This person is a husband of a claimant to the English crown, and he has been endeavoring to secure the rights which he supposes to appertain to him and his con sort by promenading about the precincts of Scotland-yard, together with some chil dren who, in his estimation ought, of course, to be regarded as princes and princesses of the blood royal. Mrs. Buck- ton, the soi-disant heiress of the House of Hanover, is under the impression that her mother was named Anna Rex, and that the queen is a younger daughter of the same individual, who has been on the throne five years, a third sister who had a superior claim having been “put away” by some means. The woman, in short, is one of that laige class of lunatics who labor under tho delusion tbat they are royal personages— a delusion so prevalent that it deserves al most to be ranked as a distinct species by itself. The interest of tho case, however, does not centre in the fact that tho woman is insane, but in tfio extraordinary coinci dence that her husband is also afflicted with the same form of monomania. The evidence from Bow street, when the pair were brought before a magistrate, showed that the husband, though probably less in sane than the wife, was equally convinced of the truth of the absurd story devised by her disordered brain. This is probably almost a unique case in the history of mental alienation, for although the society of mad persons is thought to have a considerable effect in inducing madness in others, it is, as far as we know, a now thing for the delusion so communicated to be of the same na ture as that of the person or persons from whom it is communicated. To explain the system upon a principlo analogous to that of infectiousness in bodily maladies, or by what may be ealled association of ideas, will, of course, appear the simplest way of disposing of it. But as madness is hereditary, the fact of the two being first cousins may throw some light on tho cu rious phenomenon. It would be interest ing to discover if there was a taint of the sort in any previous generation of the family .—London G'obe. Artificial Bespiration. Dr. W. M. Polk described recently in The Medical Record a method of artifi cial respiration by means of the catheter, which promises to he valuable. The de tails of the process are as follows: In the adult or child with teeth fix the jaws open by means of a cork, seize the tongue with a tenaculum or other instrument, draw it well out and hand to an assistant. Pas3 the index finger of the lelt hand well down into the mouth, find the epiglottis, go beneath it. and place the finger over the laryngeal opening. Take a stiff ca theter, No. 8 or No. 10, with the . right hand, and using the left index finger in xisition as a guide, pass the instrument nto the larynx. Be sure that the eyes of the instrument are well beyond the vocal chords. The assistant now extends the patient’s arm above the head, the operator at the same time blowing up the lungs through the catheter. The anus are next brought down, and expiration accomplished by compressing the abdomen and chest. A respirator)’ act is thus accomplished. The procedure is continued with regularity, so as to simulate as nearly as possible the normal respiratory intervals. The exten sion of the arms above the head during the filling of the lungs through the cathe ter is more important in the adult than in the infant. Cathelerism of the adult larynx is some what more difficult than the same opera tion with the infant larynx, the chief difficulty being the greater depth at which the opening to the adult larynx is situated. This can he overcome by letting some one seize the larynx from the outside and tlmi3t it up. In that way the opening is brought within easy reach of the index finger in the pharynx, when the catheter can be readily passed. The condition of unconsciousness would seem to bo the most favorable to the proper performance of the operation,—the condition, in fact that exists iu actual or impending as- asphyxia, such as the asphyxia of the new born, of the dr owned, of "convulsions, of cases of opium or carbonic oxide poison ing—any case, indeed, in which the Schultz, Marshall Hall, or Sylvester methods of artificial respiration are called The Princess «f Wales. Although the Princess of Wales, says one of her admirers, is never extravagantly dreessed, she is more perfectly costumed than any other lady, English or foreign. But, as even a rose gains in beauty when it sparkles with dewdrops, so our future Queen has the power of looking more radiant to-morrow than to-day; and it sceemed to all who were at Fulham the other afternoon that tho Princess had reached ike dressmaker’s ultima Thule— the point beyond which not Worth, nor Etire, nor any other maker of feminine raiment can go. The marvelous robe was of peacock green, studded with goldeu dorses, and all the sunlight seemed to fall upon it and make it more splendid. Iu the bonnetwere silver beads, and.asthe royal lady stood in front of the enormous stone with the gleaming trowel in her hand, she was the embodiment of a lovely girl not yet out of her teens. Upon that fig ure all eyes were at once fixed, never to bo removed; yet she is so unconscious that the admiring gaze of hundreds never perturbs, much less disturbs her equanim ity. While I believe that the monarchy was never so firmly set in the hearts of the English as it is to-day, I take leave to contend that the throne is distinctly in debted to the Princess of Wales for a large share of its respect and popularity.

The Atlanta Constitution, of Tuesday, ha3 the following report of an interview with Mr. Stephens on the deadlock : Mr. Stephens says that if this conven tion breaks up in a row it will be a great calamity; that it will not pnly be inju rious to our State politics, but that it would injure the prospects of the Demo cratic candidate for President. '“I am hopeful,” says Mr. Stephens, “that we will carry New York, Connecticut, Indi ana, and New Jersey, and have a good chance to carry Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin and Colorado. I have re ceived a letter since I have been in At lanta from Judge W. M. Reese, of Wilkes, who is now in Colorado, that gives me great hope that the Democrats will carry that State. Now,” says he, “if the State of Georgia breaks up the convention in a row, and we have two factions here in the Empire State of the South, any one can see how it will be used against us. The Republicans will use it with great effect in these doubtful States, and on the float ing vote. It will be used to our disadvan tage in Virginia, where we now have prospect to heal the split in the party in that State.” Mr. Stephens, without criticising the measure, expressed the opinion that a great mistake had been made in adoptihg the twodhirds rule. He held that the majority’rule was the Democratic princi ple and should always be adhered to. Jefferson said “the voice of the majority is the law of every assembly, unless restrain ed by constitutional provisions.” He says that the two-thirds rule had never been used in State conventions, certainly not in any that had come within his observation. His recollection was that tho convention tbat nominated Governor J. E. Brown never had the two-thirds rule. (We refer to the convention of 18C7.) There was a triangular contest in that convention, he says, between Lumpkin, Lamar and Gor don, and neither candidate originally be fore it could receive a majority of the votes, and it resulted in the selection of an outsider. “I consider the two-thirds rule,” lie re marked, “fatal to any party that adopts and continues it. It broke up the Demo crats at Charleston in I860, and it will break up any party that will continue its use.” When asked whether the convention ought to rescind its present rule and go back to the majority, he said, “The mis take was in adopting the rnle. I do not know about the method of getting rid of it. It should never have been adopted. But,” he said, “if they cannot make a nomination by the rnle they have adopted, let them nomiuatc the State-house offi cers and a strong electoral ticket, pass a suitable resolution submitting the ques tion about who shall be our next governor to the people, and then let them pass on the questions without disturbing the party harmony. I was not for Governor Col quitt in his first race. I was for Herschel V. Johnson, and I was not for him this time. But he has gone into the fight and his opponents have gone in. The cam paign ka3 been fought and he comes into the convention with a decided majority. My rule has always been when fairly beaten to submit gracefully and try a again. When I was a hoy and played ‘knucks,’ and when the other side won the game I always put my knucks down and took the whack. That’s the way to do, and trusted to better luck next time.” A delegate from Macon county, Mr. In gram, then asked Mr. Stephens if he was a member what ho would do. Mr. Stephens said he did not wish to give any advice. The delegate then said: “If a new man was offered on whom all could bartnoit- ize, would it not be the duty of all to take him?’, “Certainly it would,” Mr. Stephens re plied; “harmony is essential abore ail things. But as a Democrat, believing in the majority rule, I should look for har mony by co-operating-with a majority. I was an earnest supporter of Mr. Douglas. When he and Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Pierce were before the Cincinnati conven tion in 1856, when it was ascertained that Mr. Buchanan had a majority of the con vention, I advised Mr. Douglas at once to telegraph Richardson to withdraw his (Douglas’) name, and to request his friends to go for Buchanan. This was done aud thereby Buchanan got the two- tliirds which he was entitled to, and was nominated. I knew that the two-thirds rule would in effect prevent tho selection of either of the prominent men before them.” ‘I am in favor,” continued Mr. Steph ens, “of the Democratic principle that the will of the majority should be respected and concurred in. When I go into »• con vention with a view to the nomination of candidates, on any line of principles or se ries of measures, I look to harmony main ly by securing a majority.” “In relation to the two-thirds rule,” Mr. Stephens said, “I will add this: that the reason which caused its adoption in fed eral conventions does not apply in States. The federal government is not one of ma jority. It is complex in its character as well as in its organization. The little State of Delaware, with less than two hundred thousand inhabitants, has as much power iu the senate, and iu the pas sage of laws in that body, as tho State of New York, with upwards of five millions inhabitants. The federal colleges are al so complex in their organization, and if these colleges fail to give a majority of their aggregated votes to any candidate for president, the election, by the consti tution, then goes into tho house of repre sentatives, when the choice is to be made by the States, each State having an equal vote, and where Delaware would have au equal voice with New York. “Now, the object of the two-thirds rule was, in effect, to provide that no one should be chosen as a candidate who did not receive a support of a majority of the States. For, at tho tune of the adoption of this rule, as I understand it, two-thirds of a full federal convention could not be constituted without embracing a major ity ot the States. “This complex character of the federal govemmet does not-apply to the States, to cities, counties, or municipalities. In the latter the majority principle prevails. County elections are carried by majority votes, and in some instances by pluralities. So in cities, as well as the States. I may be mistaken,” said Mr. Stephens, “but I do not think that the two-thirds rule ever was adopted in a gubernatorial nomina tion in Georgia before the present conven tion adopted it. It was never adopted, as far as I know, in the nomination of Sena tors to Congress in this nor any other State.” The Fopulae Feeling.—The New York . city correspondent of the Boston Herald, an independent journal with Re publican proclivities, thus notes Ids own observations. He says: If one were to take a tour among the common people in and around New York he would fiiid it for Hancock from circum- ference to center. The thoughtful and observing, as well as the ignorant and en thusiastic, insist that he will carry the State. The cheers which go up from the Coney Island boats when they pass the huge collar-box fortress on Governor’s Is land are something of an indication of the popular feeling. No less so is the fact tbat one of the medalion manufacturers in New York is soiling a thousand of his little Hancock miniatures all over the country where he sells a hundred of Gar field. And everywhere yon go there are like indications of'the Hancock boom. Whether it extends into the rural districts or not I am unable to say, but it is very prevalent in the metropolis and suburbs.

My Dear Sir: The training and hab its of my life naturally lead ms to prefer a civilian to a soldier for great civil trusts; but as parties are organized, voters must choose between the candidates they rep resent or stand aloof, indifferent or neu tral, which no good citizen ought to do, at a Presidential election. I have no hesitation in supporting Gen Hancock, for the best of all reasons to my mind, because his election will put auend to sectional strife and to sectional parties, and will revive patriotic sentiment all over the land, which the political leaders and factious, for sinister ends, seek to pre vent. Great a3 were the achievements of Gen, Hancock in the war, his conduct in peace, when in command of Louisiana and Texas in 1867, was still greater, and justly com mends him to the confidence of the coun try. That was a time when passion ruled in the public councils aud military power was exerted to silence civil authority. The temptation was strong to fall iu with the rushing current; for an inflamed par tisan opinion was too ready to condone ex cesses and to applaud oppression. Gen. Hancock's order No. 40, in assum ing charge of the fifth |military' district, announced that the right of trial by jury —the habeas corpus—the liberty of the press—freedom of speech—natural rights of persons aud rights of property, must be respected. These principles a re the basis of free government, and the proclamation of them by General Hancock stands out iu striking contrast with the action of his superior, who soon after rebuked and drove him from that command for uttering senti ments worthy of all honor. The soldier, clothed with extraordina ry power, voluntarily uncovered before the civil authority—sheatned his sword, testified his fidelity to the constitution, and set an example of obedience to law which will pass into history as his proud est claim to distinction. The man who, in the midst of the ex citements of that stormy period, was cool enough to see hi3 duty clearly, and coura geous enough to execute it firmly, may be well trusted in any crisis. His letter to General Sherman, recently brought to light, lifts General Hancock far above the past appreciation of his civil ability. It marks him as one of the wisest uuyi of his time, with a statesman’s grasp of mind and with the integrity of a patriot, whom no sense of expediency could swerve from his honest conviction. Long and unchecked possession of power by any party leads to extravagance, corruption aud loose practices. After twenty years of domination by the Repub licans, chronic abuses have become fast ened upon the public service like barna cles upon the stranded ship. There is no hope of reform by leaders who have created a system of maladmin istration and who are interested in the perpetuity of its reign. Nothing short of the sternest remedy give3 any promise of effective reform, and the first step towards it is in a change of rulers. The govern ment must be got out of the ruts in which it has too long- been run, aud now blood must be infused iuto the management of public affaire hefore relief caube expected The people demand a change, and, being in earnest, they are likely to be gratified. Very sincerely, David Davis. To the Hon. James E. Harvey. Destructive Fire. New Yoke, August 10.—This morning about 7 o’clock, the hull of the burning vessel Nictaux, which was still ablaze, floated against the pier occupied by the American Export Lumber Company, at Hunter’s Point. The premises occupied by this company occupy both sides of Newton creek, the offices being situated on the south side of the creek while the lumber yard Is situated on the north side. At the time the Nictaux came in contact with the pier they were unloading there a large number of vessels. The fire imme diately communicated to the lumber in the yard, spreading in every direction with lightning rapidity. From the yard the fire spread to the vessels, and notwith standing the efforts made by several tugs which hastened to their assistance, six baiges, one schooner and one ship were soon enveloped In flames. So intense is the heat from the flames that the property situated ou the south side of the cree.k is in imminent danger. Over ten acres of fire are now raging wildly, and it appears to be beyond the control of the firemen. Several of the burning vessels were towed into the river and have drifted with the tide towards Blackwell’s Island enveloped in a sheet of flames. The fire is now spreading in every direction, aud no esti mate can be formed as to its probable extent. The scene from the river is one of indescribable grandeur—the flames ris ing in every direction and enveloping everything in their path. It was impossi ble, owing to the confusion this morning, to ascertain the names of the burning ves sels. The fire was caused by burning barrels of oil floating away from the bark An toinette, which was seriously injured by fire at Charles Pratt’s oil works on Sunday last. The burning contents of the bark wore being played upon ail day yesterday End this morning, and it seemed to have ^escaped the notice of those who were thus engaged to-day that the burning barrels were swept onward with the tide until at last they came in contact with the lum ber laden schooner Northern Home, ly ing at anchor some two hundred feet off the point of Newtown creek, and set her on fire. The flames quickly leaped onward to the ill fated yard. The ut most consternation seems to have seized upon all those present, which was inten sified to a high degree by the fact that the creek was almost unnavigable on account of the numerous vessels lying iu it. At last some cool-headed captains com menced work in the right direction, and one by one the vessels were got out in tho stream, with the exception of the schooner already mentioned, three barges and a lighter, all lumber laden, and which will become total wrecks. SUPEESTITIONS ABOUT ThUNDEII.— Almost all the tribes in the United States believed thunder to be produced by the wiugs of a great bird, and the lightnings were the serpents that were invariably connected with the thunder bird. Among the ancient tribes of the Mississippi Val ley the thunder, therefore, soon became a thunder god, who could be propitiated with sacrifices. Tho Illinois Indians of fered up a small dog when a child hap pened to be sick upon a day when there was much thunder, supposing tlio latter to be the cause of the malady. Mauy acci dents, like conflagrations, were'attributed to the angry god, and some tribes did bloody penances of propitiation, often burning to death tljeir own children. Statements that the Indians adored thun der, however, seems to be erroneous. It was the cause of tho thunder they wor shiped, and before which they burned to bacco and Buffalo meat, and cut off Uie joints of their fingers, or threw their chil dren into the flames when they were over come by fear. The Peruvians had as an idol a stone that had been split by light ning. They offered it gold and silver. The natives of Honduras burned cotton seed when it thundered. Other Southern tribes made no sacrifice on the approach of a storm, but abashed themselves in the most abject fear. A Eight Light A simple way to produce au illumina ting composition is thus described in the Industry: Cleanse oyster .shells by well’ washing, expose them to a red heat for half an hour, separate the cleanest parts, and put into a crucible in alternate layers With sulphur; uow expose the vessel to a red heat lor an hour at least. When cold break the mass aud separate the whitest parts for use. If enclosed in a bottle the figures of a watch may be distinguished by its aid. To renew the luminous of the mass place the bottle each day in. the sun, i or in strong daylight; or burn a strip of magnesium wire close to the bottle. The sulphide of lime will thus absorb light, which will again be available at mght time. i State Officers_Nominated. Special to Telegraph and Messenger.I Atlanta, August U, 1SS0.
