The Virginia -Cif- y- Eoscrprise has the following :—"A
gentleman who has just arrived from the borax fields of
the desert regions surrounding the town of Columbus, in
the eastern part of this state, gives us the following
account of the sad fate of Mr. Jonathan Newhouse, •
man of considerable inventive genius. Mr. Newhouse
had constructed what he called 'solar armour,' an
apparatus intended to protect the wearer from the tierce
heat of the sun in crossing deserts and burning alkali
plains. The armour consisted of a long, close-fitting
jacket made of common sponge, and a cap or hood of the
Mille material ; both jacket and hood being about an inch
in thickness. Before starting across • desert this armour
was to be saturated with water. Under the right arm was
suspended an India-ruliher sack tilled with water and
having • small gutta-percha tube leading to the top of the
hood. In order to keep the armour moist, all that was
necessary to be done by the traveller, as he progressed over
the burning sands, was topress thesack•ccasionally when
&small quantity of water would be forced up and thoroughly
saturate the hood and the jacket below It, Thus, by the
evaporation of this moisture in the armour, it was calcu-
lated might be produced almost any degree of cold. Jr.
Newhouse went down to Death Valley, determined to
try the experiment of crossing that terrible place in his
armour. Ile started out into the valley one morning from
the camp nearest its borders, telling the men at the camp
as he laced his armour on his back, that he would return
in two days. The next day an Indian, who could speak
but a few words of English, came to the camp in • great
state of excitmimt, lie made the men understand that
he wanted them to follow him. At a distance of about 'JO
miles out into the desert the Indian pointed to a human
figure seated against • rock. Approaching they found it to
be Newhouse, still in his armour, lie was dead and
Frozen stiff; his beard was covered with frost, and—though
the noonday sun poured down its fiercest rays—an icicle
over a foot in length hung from his nose. There he had
perished miserably because his armour had worked but
too well, and because it was laced up behind, where he
could not reach the fastenings."

STRANGE CASK OP BIGAMY—An extraordinary case of
bigamy was heard at the Laudieth Police-court, in which
Elizahth Brinkley. a young wlman aged 28, of prepruseess-
ing appearance was charged with intermarrying with
Thomas Walter Brown, her husband. William Bnnkley.
being still alive. She appeared to be ill. The prosecutor
in the year Min• met the prisoner at a ball. She was attired
in deep mourning. Ile wax introduced to her, and after
sonic conversation she said she had been living with a
gentleman, who had lately died, and she was much grieved
at her lou. Prosecutor became very much enamoured of
her, and shortly afterwards he proposed that she should
live with him until such a time that be was in such a
position to marry her. She consented, and he provided •
home for her, and they lived together as man and wife in
the City. In the course of is few weeks she introduced a
young man to prosecutor as her brother-in-law, who mid
his name was William Charles Brinkley. Brinkley Made
himself so affable that he was allowed to remain in the
house. Ile continued to lodge with them in various places
for some time. During the time the supposed brother-in-
law remained with them, the mother and father of
prisoner paid them visits, and 'bot a word was uttered
otherwise than calling his, the brother-in-law of prisoner.
The prosecutor fully believed the "brother-in-law- was
such a relation. In 1071, on the 21th April, the prosecutor
was married to the prisoner at Christ Church. Chelsea, by
banns. She then describes! herself as Lizzie Payne, age
24, and a spinster. In consequence of some disagreement
the " brother-in-law" left the house, and the prosecutor
remained with his supposed wife on the most happy terms
until the early part of 1073, when he ascertained that two
gentleman in his absence were in the habit of visiting her,
and he taxed her with it. She confessed it was so, and in
CGRlooillenCe he determined to sell off the furniture, and
leave her, but before he could make the neceentrY
