A NOVEL APPLICATION OF THE DAauEnE-

A NOVEL APPLICATION OF THE DAGUERE-
oTYPE.-A strange Gaze OF separation q
mensa ct thoro is about to be submitted to
the Civil Tribunal at Versailles. M. x,
a gentleman formerly member of the corps
diplomatigue, married in 1886, Mdlle. Lou
Use B., the daughter of respectable ci-
tizen of Versailles. This marriage which
was one of pure inclination on the part of
M. x as the young lady had no fortune
whatever, was as happy as could be mag
ined until the spring Of the present year.
At that period violent disputes, kindled by
Madame Y, took place, and a separation
was agreed to by the parties, NJ. X con-
tinued to reside at the chateaux he possess
sed near Vile d'Avray, and Madame X
was permitted to lodge with her maid and a
gardener, in pavilion quite separated from
her husbands chateau,. and surrounded by
garden enclosed with high walls.
M. " soon had reason to entertain
strong suspicious as to the conduct of his
wife, but he was unwilling to put any ques-
tions to the servants, or to take any steps
to compromise the honor of the woman he
still loved. He however contrived means
of ascertaining whether his suspicious were
well founded. A sort of cottage existing
outside of the wall, separating the pavilion
garden from the remainder of the property,
NJ. x took up his quarters in it, and by
means of hole bored through the wall was
enabled to see every morning at eleven HIS
lady's window opened, and that she came
down and walked in the garden with n
handsome young man, the son of neigh
boring land owner.
Averse to exercising the awful privilege
which ,he law comedies to nm enraged hus-
band, M. " spent the following night in
opening another aperture in the wall, and
despatched his valet TO Paris. The latter
returned at ten o'clock in the morning with
a box which he conveyed into the park cot
tage. II ,Uds Ddguereoiype. M. y
carefully placed the camera obscura mirror
facing the aperture he had made, and when
the window opened, seeing his wife and the
young man embrace, he put the plate pre-
pared with iodine into the box. Though
two minutes scarcely elapsed whilst it was
thus exposed, the sun was SO bright that a
most correct drawing Of the dshonoraole
meeting at the window was obtained. M.
X has Just applied for separation, and in
support of it deposited in the Civil Trlbu-
nal of Versailles the photogenic drawing,
affordng undeniable evidence Of the meet
ing of his wife and the young man. 1t is
affirmed that M. M. Daguerre and hrago
will be summoned to supply the tribunal
with all the scientific information that may
be required .-French paper.

THE QUAKER's LETTER TO HIS WATCH

another member, and it not keeping time,
returned it accompanied by the following
letter.
"l herewith send thee my pocket clock,

friendly school, he was rot in the least de-
gree reformed or benefited thereby, for

not an even temper, or at other times he
waxeth sluggish; though | frequently urge
him that he should be at his duty, as thou
knowest his name denoteth, find him
siumbering and sleeping, or, as the vanity
Of human reason phrases it, caught him

is not right in the inward man; clean him,
therefore, thoroughly, entreat thee, with
thy charming physic, from all pollution,
that he may vibrate aud circulate according
to truth. | will leave him a few days un-
der thy friendly charge, and pay for his
board as thou requirest it. | entreat thee,
friend John, to demean thyselfon this occa-
sion with right judgment according to the
skill that is within thee, and prove thyself a
workman that need not be ashamed. And
when thou layest the correcting hand on
him, let it be without passion, least thou
drive him to destruction. DO thou regulate
and govern his motions for the time to
come by the motion of the light that ruleth
the day, and when thou findest him CONVEX
ted from the error of his ways, and more
comfortable to the above mentioned rules
do thou send him home. with just bill oi

deration, and the root of evil shall be sent
unto thee. Thy friend, SIMON.

OHIO STATE JOURNAL FOR THE
SESSION.

In consonance with previous usage, the
proprietor of the Ono STATE JOURNAL
submits the following Prospectus to the
consideration of the citizens of Ohio. The
political character of the Journal Is so well
known, that no new comments are necessa-
nv TO explain it. 1t is uncquivocally oppo-
sed to the administration of Martin Van
Buren, and to all the mad schemes of him
self and his advisers. The Journal will con-
tnue, steadily, in the path of its long avow-
ed and long cherished principles. Success
cannot corrupt it, nor defeat intlmidate it.
AS faithful sentinel on the watchtower of
American liberty, it will always be found
awake on Its post.
During tho winter, abundance of interest
ing matter may be expected from the halls
of our State Legislature. The work Of
BANK REFORM is to be finished, by the ma
iorty who now rule triumphant, and we, in
common with the whole State, feel anxious
to investigate its operation and its progress.
Our attention will be given to the subject
most amply and unreservedly.
In every other respect, the Ohio State
Journal will adhere to its original plan and
character. 1t will be, emphaticaly.a NEWS
PAPER, in whose columns may be found all
the interesting events of the day. Con-
presslonal reports, foreign and domestic
intelligence, together with the opinions OF
our contemporaries of the Press, and occa-
sional drau ghts from the pens of our literatI,
will form an agreeably variety. A generous
support is requested.

cannot be surpassed in the western country. The
settlement is exceedingly healthy, having an
abundance of pure water, and being entirely free
from marshes and stagnant ponds. A sulhciency
of timber abounds, and every requisite necessary
for building can be readily obtained.
Mr.. MoRRIs, the place where the Seminary is
located, is on the state road leading from Chica-
20 to Gaena, via Oregon City, miles from the
latter place-65 mile, from Ottawa miles
from Boonesbor1'-s from GranGetour and the
same distance from Buffalo Grove and Bloom
Vile.
1t will be that this Seminary is situated III
a desirable location, being surrounded by numer-
Gus thriving villages, whose inhabitants are dis
tinguished for their intelligence and hospitality.
The Rock River country has already established
an enviable reputation, and possessing poPula-
ton of enterprising citizens, who manifest dis
position to establish schools for the instruction OF
the young is a sufficient guarantee oftheir moral
worth and future prosperity and comfort
| 1t is supposed that nearly one hundred pupils
will be in attendance at the first session Of tn.
Seminary Parents and guardians would do well
by giving the claims Of this institution 10 their
patronage, due consideration. The location most
certainly is desirable--being healthy and not
rounded by vice and immortality, as is the case in
cities and crowded communities, where the young
are constantly exposed to the snarcs of the vicious
and not unfrequently learn their first lessons of
inquty, and instead of being blessing to the
country and an honor to their parents, are curse
to the former and disgrace to the latter.

Minden line of battle ship, lying at the stern OF
the Ta!avera, took fire ahead, and appeared inevi-
tably doomed; but the wind shifting, the progress
ofthe flames was stopped The fire then reached the
roof of the adjoining shed beneath which were kept
the figure heads of some of the ships which, har-
ing borne the brunt of the battle were, after the
peace broken up; and these slight membranes
of their achievements were kept with degree OF
pride. The flag of the great naval hero Nelson
under which he fought the battle of Trafalgar,
and the flag of Lord Exmouth at the battle OF
Algiers, were consumed by the flames. Speedily
succeeding the firing of this shed, the one djoin-
ing also took fire, in which was the lmogene fri
gate. Thisw also completely destroyed. An
attempt was now made to prevent further ex-
tension by playing the engines upon the building
opposite, but without success, and the whole
range, together with large pile of timber, was
consumed. The loss is estimated at 81, SOC, 600.

The ship Copperdown, 100 guns, was attempted

Illinois Legislature.

Tho legislature of this State meets at Spring
field on next Monday one week. AS the session
will be of much importance to the people of the
state and in particular to the inhabitants of this
section, we will use all possible means to lay be-
fore our readers the earliest and most authentic
accounts Of the movements of this body.
The Internal Improvement systematic Bank
and the election of United States Senator are
among the most important duties which will de.
volve upon them, and be presented to their con.
siderstion In reference to the election of Uni
ted States Senator, the State Register con-
tains the following paragraph, which every Demo.
crat must admire for its business, and being the
only course that will satisfy the constituents o.
the Democratic members Of that body. When
proceeding to the election ola Senator, let them re-
member "that these are times that try men,
souls" and that no man who has not stood the "frt
and the conflict" is worthy of their confidence a,
Democrat. The Register says:
"We notice that several of our Demo-
cratic papers have urged the claims OF
their favorite candidates for the Senate OF
the United States. We think all such
ann,nciations should be accompanied
with notice that the person named viii
submit his claims to the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature, and abide by the
will of the majority thereof. We arc
satisfied from information that the demo
cratic members are determined to nomi
nate and afterwards elect the Senator
themselves, without the aid of the whie
party. We highly approve Of their de-
termination to do so. Such course will
only meet the wishes of their cons,tu.
ents."

United States Ba nks

The late Philadelphia papers announce that
Mr.. Jaudon, foreign agent of the u. S. Bank, has,
while here succeeded in efectng an arrangement
with the city banks, by which the u. S. Bank will
be able to resume at the appointed time The
city banks have, it is said consented 10 take the
post notes of the United States Bank for what is
due them, in the hope, it seems of making these
post notes available in the settlement of their own
eastern Indebtedness. This, it is believed, they
will scarcely be able to effect without additional
security, the credit Of the United States Bank be-
ing too much shattered to permit her accommodate
ton paper to be marketable, and should the city
banks fail in this, they will be in no better predi-
cament than the U. S. Bank is ITSELF The re-
sumption, then, If it takes place, will be based on
the fictitious values of "iancy" stocks, and will be
bolstered by borrowing. This is little likely to
give pcrmanency to a resumption as, by the 18th
Of next January, the Philadelphia banks, under
such circumstances will be no more able to re-
sumo than they were last March. This matter is
important to us, as the Philadelphia banks have
still power enough to control the movements Of the
western and southwestern banks, and should there
be no permanent resumption made there, it is not
probable that there will be one here.

Suicide.--The Hon. William s. Ramsey, mem.
Der of the present Congress- and just reelected to
the next from the 9Th District Of Pennsylvania,
composed Of Cumberland, Ferry and Juniata coun-
ties, committed suicide at Baltimore on Sunday
evening, the 18th ultimo, by shooting himself
through the head. He was but % years of age,
and young man of good talents and unsullied
character. Disappointed affection is given as the
cause of this deporable act; but another account
states that he was laboring under alteration Of
mind, caused by the intense heat of the sun and
exertion while laboring under great physical de-
bity. His residence was Carlisle, Pa. where his
untimely death is deeply regretted.
