LADIES' TESTIMONIAL TO MRS: SEFTERSON DAVIS.
—The special correspondent of the Philadelphia In-
quirer has examined a souvenir of the late rebellion, being
a present from the ladies of South Carolina to Mrs. Davis,
prepared at the outbreak of the war. The present is a
novel and handsome one, being a bouquet of ladies' hair.
Locks of every shade and hue shed front the heads of fair
South Carolinians, and cunningly worked into the sem-
blance of a well-arranged and tastefully selected bouquet.
There aro roses, buttercups, daisies, lilies, broad-leaved
japonicas, all exquisitely wrought of hair,,a.nd bearing a
marvellous resemblance to their garden prototypes. The
hair used is from the venerable grey of age to the flaxen
silk locks of youth, raven brown, auburn, blonde, all col-
ours aro delicately combined, and the whole is certainly a
triumph of hail. work. The petals of a japonica are ele-
gantly worked with black hair, while the blossom is of a
delicate flaxen hue. The buds of the flowers are represented
by beads. Tho bouquet is of full size, being at least 15in.
across at the widest part, and about 18in. in length. The
stems of tho hair flowers aro tied with a bow of blue ribbon.
Tho bouquet is inclosed in a square shallowcase, lined with
white satin. The front is of glass, surrounded by a neat
gilt frame. On the white satin background, over the top
of the bouquet, is inscribed with a pen in indelible ink,
"C. S. A., 186.1," On the left, on the bouquet, is writ-
ten, in a legible, upright hand :—" From Miss Sally L.
Hawkins." On the right "To Mrs. Jefferson Davis." This
unique bouquet graced the parlour walls of Mrs. Davis till
it came into the possession of its present owner, a coloured
woman, Mrs. Ellen Bond, who was a house servant in the
Davis family since January 2, 1864. She says that Mrs.
Davis presented her the bouquet several months ago, and
that she removed it from the Presidential parlour to her
own humble home, where it remained until a few days
past, when it was sent down with Mrs. Bond's other effects.
It is now .in her house at Camp Hamilton. Mrs. Davis
told her that the bouquet was made from the hair of South
Carolina ladies ; some of them that she had known well
,were dead; and she did not care to have the gift in her
possession. •
FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last
sitting, a lettpr was received from M. Neant, in
which he describes a method of his invention for keeping
afloat a vessel about to sink, and putting out any fires
that might happen to break out on board. His plan
i inn
d_
a_rnhh attaching
o r,
withTher
aoifr,
certain
dnunballoons
made mcoandseistsofaandceri
sidesi of the sinking vessel.—Another gentleman, M.
SThermann, wrote to request the Academy to open a sealed
packet deposited by him on the 26th of June last. On being
opened, it was found to contain a •
project for the Universal
Exhibition of 186
7.--1 n a paper to the Academy, M. Chat-
tenmann proposed to render vessels externally incombus-
tible by whitewashing the wood with chloride of lime.
This, he thinks, would prevent the 'rapid Dropigation of
the flames, and allow sufficient time for extinguish-
ing them.--A paper was received from Dr. Bondin on
the fulminating power of bodies recently struck by

lightning, • and of which he adduces two remarkable
instances. On the 30th of June, 1854, a man was killed
by lightning near the Garden of Plants at Paris ; the body
remained for some time exposed to a pouring rain. After
the storm two soldiers, in attempting to lift up the body,
both received tw.Qviolent shocks. In the other case, which
occurred at Zara, Dalmatia, two artillerymen who had
been ordered to set up again in their former places two
telegraphic posts that had been thrown down during a
storm took hold of the telegraphic wire. Although it was
two hours after the storm, there was so much electricity left
that the men first experienced a few slight shocks, and then
were both thrown down on the ground. The hands of
both were scorched, and one of them did not even for a

time giving any signs of life. The other, in attempting to
get up, sank down again, and in so doing touched a com-
rade, who was coming to his assistance, with his elbow.
The third man was then thrown down in his turn, expe-
rienced various nervous effects, and his arm was marked
with a burn at the spot where he had been touched by the
other man's elbow.---The Academy received a letter from
a M. Jan, in which he described a system of air-balloons
with wings, which he considered entirely new.
. The young man named Glass, who shot the poor
fellow Lynes,at Cheltenham, is a chemist at Bourneniouth,
in Hants, and was merely on a visit at Cheltenham to re-
cord his vote, he having recently resided in that town.
