U Tbdr l comdnet hsd been all along an
alternation between periods of slumber
sod periods of rush. However, the gov-
mmsol was Invariably too unprepared
id toonnlntelUgent to repair the darnaps
done during the periods of slumber. He
wonld not say that the government s poll
er had been bad, because the government
had hsd no policy worthy of the name.
Were they going to hold the Soudan,or
.ere tbSy going to abandon itT The
sneaks.' thought the government them-
selves did not know. The Conservatives
muld insist that the influence of England
should be kept prominent In Egypt. They
»«•> determiced that a consist
ent policy was absolutely neces
sary. Without such a policy
there wav no safety. Bat such policy
eoaldnotbe expected from a ministry so
perpetcaliv halting »■ the present one. If
It were continued in power, England mast
expect to lose her rpreslige with the
powers of the world and be drawn to dis
aster sod disgrace wblch could never be
eflsced.
Lord Salisbury's declaration In the
Houseot Lords this tveniog, wblch was
practically in favor of an Kogliab protec
torate over Kgypt and an indefinite
occupation of tbe Soudan, has restored the
•chanett ot success of the government on
the censor® motion. Tbe progress of
th® "whips’ ” negotiation* in ;the lobby
has discloa»l a strong tendency on the
part of doubtful Radicals to adhere to the
government. They see that if tho Tories
obtain power, peace or an evacnaiion poll-
cy will b® far remote. The government
whips are now confident of 30 majority.
In the Hoase of Lords, Lord Granville,
foreign secretary, said that whoever is to
hold Kbartoam hereafter mast snppress
the Mahdi, but It need not necesearlly be
England. The debate in Kgypt was
adjourned in both Houses with reaching
a division. ^

the adoption In the Federal Assembly of a

thie morning on the abodes of suspected
persons. Wholesale arrests were made,
many persons being taken from bed. In
this city ten well known Anarchists were
taken Into custody.
Kerbs, February 27.-I,ater develop
ments seem to indicate that the general
police raid npon Anarchists throughout
Switzerland early this morning was not
due simply to tbe antbSoclalist legislation
undertaken within the past few dsys, bnt
was rather precipitated by the fact that
the Federal Council has received positive
information of a desperate dynamite con
spiracy. For some Urns past extraordi
nary precautions have been taken to pro
tect tbe Federal palace. These
were Induced by apprehendons on the
part ol government officials that a dyna
mite outrage would be attempted for Its
destruction. It was believed that the ac
tion of tbe Swln government In expelling
certain Anarchisia from the country bad
so angered the confreres of those red-
handed gentrywbobad escaped expulsion,
that they would attempt to take swift ven
geance by some (rightful outrage. These
apprehensions were fully Justified. This
plot as was anticipated, was concocted
againstthtJFederal ualacejsnd provided for
tbe exploelon of that structure by dyna
mite.

ham, to-day brought suit for divorce
against hla wife, who Is a granddaughter of
the Archbishop of Armagh and daughter
of the late Henry B. W. Milner, Esq. Tbe
Earl bases his application for divorce op-
tbe ground that bis wife ia Insane, and
was insane at the time of her marriage.
It is admitted that she ta now insane, bnt
it ia denied that the was tneane when mar
ried. When Miia Milner married the Earl
•be was a reigning h-lle, beautiful, accom
plished and a g-meril social fav -rite.
The plaintiff in bis application clter
many inatancea of the defendant's conduct
to prove that she was and bad long been
of unsound mind. One of these was an
extreme taciturnity towards her husband
even before ma>rlage. Another was her
abnormal insensibility to pain. Beforehls
marriage to Miss Milner tbe Karl was
much worried about the strange silence so
persistently maintained by hia affianced.
He attempted In every way he knew how
to make her more talkative and communi
cative, but all to no purpoeu. When the
marriage engagement had been entered In-
he wrote to her:
"I wonder if yon will ever talk to me.
After marriage I conld gaze on your
charms some hours every day, but it will
become monotonons II we maintain this
gloomy silence tbe rest of tbe time.”
During the period of toelr acquaintance
the Karl called Miss Milner bis “silent, iby
divinity.”
Tha plaintiff stated that frequently be
fore his marriage Miss Milner hid olteu
•aid to him: “Oh, there Is something aw
ful dreadful I ought to tell yon,” but
whenever he would presi her to tell him or
explain what she meant, the would retreat
trom the entire antiject. Daring tbe entire
period ot their coutuhtp she bad nersr
used a single word of 'bndearmeat towards
bim. Her Invariable answer to bis ques
tion wes* I don’t know.” Evidence was
adduced showing that the defendant's
mother hsd committed sniclde daring a
fit o( temporary Insanity.

ATTSHniD SUICIDE.
About 4 o'clock tbit morning, at his
home in Bellwood, a suburb out Marietta
street, an old man of 64 years attempted to
commit suicide. Tbe man’a name is Bill,
and be is well known to everybody about
Atlanta. He It a peddler and moves about
In a little wagon drawn by two goats. The
turnout bas long been a familiar eight.
At tbe time mentioned the old peddler got
np from bed. and taking a rasor drew it
across hti throat from eir to ear. There
were other people sleeping in the room,
who were ardused by ths* movements of
of the old man, and his heavy fall after
using the rasor. They found him welter
ing in Mood, and, sa they believed,
dying. A doctor was enmmoned
at once, who gave tbe wound
immediate atteation. It was fonnd the
arteries were nnt severed, although the
wound was ghastly eoougb. The wound
waa sewed np end tbe man may possibly
recover, although hla physician bellevea
him In a very critical condition. When
the doctor first got to him the man still
wanted to die, but upon further reflection
he expressed himself as thoroughly satis
fied with the experiment and perfectly
willing to be saved.
The Governor was engaged this after
noon In hearing tbe con tailed election
from Coattahoochre connty. The arga
li the aisoclation hat determined to erect
new head-boards over the grave*, ft Is on-
fortunate that they are to he' obstruct'd In
tbe onlyplan by which the money can be
raised. Theie graves, if they are un
changed since I s&w them last, certainly
need new headboards. Then the head
boards appeared dilapidated, weather
beaten and reel'd and staggered about tbe
lot at a frightful rate. Give tbe esiocfa-
tion a chanco to put up new headboards by
' mesne.

The question whelher the recent trsns-

In Penitentiary Company No. 2 Is lawful
under the lease contract with the Ktato is
Attracting attention In quarters moet inter
ested. Tbe contract made by tbeState did
not contemplate a transfer of tbe lease,
and t believe, prohibited such transfer to
parries not mentioned In tbat contract. I

APPLICANTS FOR OPTICS.
The Governor’* office Is overrun dally
with aplllcanta for office under the Cleve
land administration, who think it essen
tial to success that they should go to Wash
ington with the indorsement o( the exec
utive ae to their character and fitneae for
office, Some of tha applicants have high
aspirations and others bumble enough.
Some know exactly what they want, and
others don't know what to ask for, bnt
want eomething, anything. Between
these gentlemen and the county con
tests the Governor has been kept
J alte busy. At the contests are nbrrat
nlthed these applicants will probsbly
try to occupy a very large portion ot his
time nntU their cases are disposed at.
It bti been suggested that Uovorner Mc
Daniel might eare to the State a great deal
of,valuable time If he hadprintedaquantl-
ty of circular letters addressed to tho
President Indorsing the bearer as a gen
tleman, scholar and undoubti d p.u!riot,*nd
trie wire connects tlie other magnet with
the target or objective point of the projec
tile. A long rod is suspended from tha
first fnagnetand a short rod hangs from
tbe second one.
Tbe projectile In leaving the gnn cats
the first wire and the broken drcnlt re
leases the long rod, which drops down
ward. When the projectile strikes the ob
jective point the second wire Is broken and
tho short rod falls, striking a spring which
causes a knife-blade to mark the descend
ing long rod. The spice from the base ot
tbe long rod to tbo Indentation is then
measured, and by the fixed law of falling c#
bodies the time taken by tho projectile
in going from the gun to the target is
ascertained, and from that the veloc
ity is figured. Mr. Sinclair took a gx>4
sized revolver, loafed with tbreo and onc-
hatf grains of powder and a b diet weigh
ing 133 grains and fastened one end of tbe
wire attached to tho first electro magnet
across tbo mnzzlc. He then fired at a
wired target In a tabular shooting gallery
about four feet long. The time ot the
transit of the bullet war determined from
tboinarkonthe long rod, adit wee speed
ily announced that the velocity of the bul-
letwis 150 feetper second. A second trial
with the same instrument showed a veloc
ity of 207 feet per foeond.
“Why le'jt desirable to ascertain the ve
locity of a projscttlel” asked a member of
tbo aodety.
“Because,” replied Mr. Sinclair, “it la a
means of compnriog the power ot a gnn, of
comparing ditl'crent kinds of powders and
projeoliles, of determlng their energy aDd
approximately their range and penetration
Into iron plates. |{ad the commanding
officer of tho Monitor in her memorable
encounter with tb* Merrlmac known what
his gnna wonld stand he could have
tent projectiles clear through the iron-
coTered aides of tho ram. He used only
six or seren pounds of powder la a charge
when hla gnna would hare stood cnargea
ol fourteen or fifteen pounds. Few per
sons realise how macn energy n large
projectile possesses. A 12-inch shot
weighing about 700 pounds, and traveling
with a velocity of 1,500 feet a second,
would strike as hard a blow ns a railroad
train consisting of a locomotive a*d fire
or six cars (weighing about lOQtont) mov
ing at tbo rale of fifty-seven miles an
hour.” *
Attempts were made to ascertain the
velocity of projectiles as early as 1730, and
In 1840 electricity was first used for that
purpose. By the Schulii chronoscope,
which Mr. Sinclair laid war the most ac
curate instrument ot Itl kind, intervals of
time can be mentnred from thirty seconds
to one Qre-thou*andlh part oi a second.
Mr. hindsIr exhibited specimens o' the
fuses used to fire large BUIS, and also
rhowed several varieties of powder. Some
of the grains were nr large as a
hen's egg. The method by wntch th*
pressure exert'd by an exploded charge
