A SUBSTITUTE Tor StefcotypmSs-A system OF
electrotyping moulds taken of type in wax, which
is said TO have decided advantage over ordinary
stereotyping, il is said, has been adopted in New
York The process is follows:
Having taken a mould of the type in wax, they
put il into solution of copper, and apply 10 il a
powerful galvanic battery which causes the cop
per to be deposited with such accuracy upon the
mould as TO make perfect copper face, which
will last much longer than the ordinary metal
face without costing any more The process oc-

THE TURKISH ARMy.-A Paris paper received
by the American contains the following testimony
of the efficiency of the Turkish army:
Our readers are aware that for several years
past French staff officer has been sent in COM
mission of the government TO Constantinople, in
order TO establish and direct there academy for
military cadets. Colonel Magnan was one of the
most distinguished pupils ofthat gallant establish
ment Ecole d'Application d'Etat Major, where
the thiry-rst cadets on the list leaving the mill
tary college of ST. Cyr trained for the appoint
ments of field-oficers. Having been despatched
by the Porte to inspect the camp of Omer Pasha,
al Shumla he has just written to his friends resid
ing in Paris letter. in which he speaks in very
Mandatory terms of the dispositions and discipline
of the Turkish army, and expresses the hrmest be-
lief that the first encounter between the Turks
and their northern foes would, beyond doubt as
far as we can conclude by probabilities, be decided
in favor of the so-little appreciated. because not
well known Ottoman army. OF Omer Pasha and
his military talent, as shown by the management
and tactical distribution of the troops he speaks
very highly 1t appears to him that the apparently
very small number of Russian troops on the OPP
posite bank of the Danube. as well as their whole
conduct there, is purposely calculated 10 excite
the Ottoman, in order to provoke an outbreak. In
this they may eventually succeed, for the writer
describes the enthusiasm OF both men and officers
among the Muselmen as having arrived at its
height 1t is reported, on very good authority,
that the instructions sent lately TO the French Ad-
mral authorize him to sail with the French fleet
to SMYRNA, whenever he thinks it necessary, after

Death of Lieut.. Hans0n.-Among the valuable
lives which have lately fallen in the south by that
horrid scourge, the yellow fever, we are deeply
panied to record the name of Lieut.. John J. Han
son, of the U. S. navy. This promising and gal
liant young officer was a son of Mr.. Isaac X. Han
son, of Washington, and is the third and last son
whom that venerable gentlemen has given to his
country, and who has persisted in the performance
of his duty. Capt Weightman X. F. Hanson, the
eldest, died in consequence of disease contracted
in the Florida war, where he was distinguished by
his gallantry, talents and devotion to the service
aud the flag. Capt. Charles Hanson. the second
brother, served with great distinction in the Mex-
can war; was of the first who scaled the heights
of Cerro Gordo, and fell gallantly fighting at the
battle of Contreras And now the last of the brave
brotherhood has gone, having fallen before a more
destructive enemy than the cannon, andin man
ner worthy of hero. While young Hanson was
at Pensacola on his return from southern cruise,
the u S. schooner Vixen, TO which he had been
attached, came into port with all her officers down
with the fever Young Hanson, voluntarily and
from sense of duty to the service, went on board
the plagueship and took command devoting his
whole energies to the welfare of the unfortunate
vessel and her sick and dying crew. He has fallen
victim to the loyalty and courage of noble ma
ture, and in his death the navy has lost one of its
best officers, and the last spark of earthly hope on
an old mans heart has gone out, to be rekindled
we trust in brighter skies. Peace to the ashes of
the brave !--Richmond Dispatch
