How the Spy was Detected.

An ingenious mechanic in Washington has
invented kind photographic hollow bullet, con-
slstlng OF two parts screwed together. In this
bullet dispatch of several lines, written on thin
paper, can be compressed, and then fired from a
muskct considerable distance. In time Of war
this continuance might be made very useful in
conveying intelligence into a beseiged fortress
or city. The screw bullet, however, Is no new
thing, as the following acoolaAt will prove:
In the year l776, when Gov. Geo. Clinton
resided in Albany, there came a stranger to his
house one morning soon after the family had
breakfasted. He was welcomed by the house
hold and Hospitality entertained. A breakfast
was ordered, and the Governor, with his wife
and daughter, who were sitting before the fire
employed in knitting, entered into conversation
with him, about the affairs of the country, which
naturally led to the inquiry what was his occupa-
ton? The emotion and hesitation with which
he replied, aroused the suspicion of the keen
sighted Clinton. He communicated his suspic-
ions to his wife and daughter, who closely watch
ed his every word and action Unconscious of
this, but finding that he had fallen in among
enemies, the stranger was seen to take some
thing from his pocket and swallow it, Madam
Clinton, with the ready tact of woman of those
troublous times, went quickly into the kitchen,
ordered hot coffee to be Immediately prepared,
The stranger, delighted with the smoking bcver-
age, partook freely of and Madam Clinton
soon had the satisfaction Of seeing it produce the
desired effect. True as scripture, scout of his
mouth was he condemned" A silver bullet an
peared, which, upon examination, was unscrew-
ca and found to contain an important dispatch to
burgoyne. The spy was tried, convicted and
executed; and the bullet is still preserved in the
family. Ill .n.ls
