INTERNAL MACHINEs.-A French En-
gineer, who visited Sinope, after the
destruction Of the Turkish Fleet, gives
it as his opinion that the Russians used
some terrible destructive missels, un-
known in previous warfare.
Some of the spars of the dismantled
ships have been examined, and French
Captain who, under Louis Philippe, be-
longed to the Council of the Marine,
cognized, it is said, in the shattered
fragments, effects exactly like those that
would be produced by an invention
which had been rejected by the French
Government, on the ground that its en-
ployment in war would be contrary to
the laws of humanity and honorable
warfare.
The invention was due to the chemi-
cal researches of a Mr.. Fortier, who
calls it, in his programme, the boulei
aspkyridnt, and was discovered in the
year 1889. In l842, the invention was
again brought forward by NJ. Champion,
and again rejected. NJ. Champion sub
sequently went TO Russia and it is known
repaired his broken fortunes in some
way. IF the Emperor of Russia, says
the French Captain, who makes the Re
port on the subject, is really in posses
sion of this deadly element Of destruc-
ton, the combined navies of the whole
universe would be powerless against
him.
At the same time we have reports
from England that destructive engines
of war have been secretly prepared in
the Government manufactures, and
that the famous Warner Range is
really receiving the attention and conf
dence denied it during Warmers life
time. At any rate these reports are
worthy the attention of our Govern
ment, now thatit has set about putting
our Navy in a more efficient state. II
destruction is the object of war and the
European nations are taking advantage
of all the discoveries which science and
genius have made in the construction
of war engines, we should take care
that we be not caught mapping.

PAPER FOR NEWSPAPERS MADE OF
SrRAw.-The paper which the Philadel-
phia Ledger is now using is the result
of experiments in the use of straw, as
the principal material of which the
paper is composed. This paper is made
by Feinour & Nixon, at their paper
mills in Manayunk. 1t is made by what
is called Mellier's process, which has
been recently patented, and by which it
is claimed that paper for printing can
be made from almost any vegetable
6brous substance. One of the difficult
ties with straw paper heretofore has been
to make it white enough for printing
purposes. This is now done by pro-
cess of bleaching of which Mr.. Mellier
is the patentee.

DRUNKENNESS IN WINE GRowIEo
CoUSTRIEs.-Mr. Hillard in his Six
Months in Italy gives an opinion in re-
lation to the prevalence of drunkenness
in the wine countries Of Europe, very
different from that usually advanced by
travellers. He thinks intemperance is
more common in Italy than in this coun-
try or in England, although the degree
of intoxieation may be less. He says
that the vegetable diet of the people
there tends to induce hankering for
the stimulation of wine. He thinks it
would be much better for them to eat
more meat and drink less wine.

NEGRO HUNG.-About ten or fifteen
days ago, the overseer of Judge Worth
ington, at Point Washington, in Missis-
sippi, was killed by one of his negroes.
The murderer fed, but was pursued,
caught and lodged in Jail at Greenville.
On Sunday, the 18th ult., some forty
overseers from neighboring plantations,
forcibiy took him from the jailor and
carried him to Princeton near the scene
of the murder, and hung him. The oc-
currence had created great excitement
in the neighborhood.

re- A Vermonter has just devised a
new mode of fencing. He procures
stakes five feet in length and sleeps the
lower portion of them in solution of
blue vitriol-one pound of vitriol to
forty of water. This renders them al
most indestructible by the natural pro-
cess of decay. He then drives the
stakes into the gronnd at distance Of
eight inches apart, bringing the tops in
to straight line, and mailing upon
them narrow strip of board, using one
nail for each stake. The fence is cheap;
cattle and sheep can't get through it;
horses will not jump it; dogs will go to
a good distance round, rather than
climb over it, and a lazy man can't sit
in the shade of it.

SUSPENSION OF THE CocH1rrArE BAxK

SUSPENSION OF THE CocHITUATE BANK.
"A dispatch from Boston to New York,
dated April 18th says:
The reported failure of the Cochituate
Bank to-day, led to great run upon it.
Specie and current bills were paid out
up to 1 o'clock, when the officers de-
clined making further payments. The
securities are considered good, and it is
thought that billholders will be paid in
full. The suspension Of the bank is at
tributed to the failure Of one of its Of
ficers, who is largely interested in iron
manufacturing. He is said to owe the
bank 100000. Report says the bank
will resume business on Monday.

CONE Kiss ME!-This is the name
that should be given to the fashionably
modern bonnet which, lightly resting on
the back of the head, affords no protec-
tion to a pretty face-but on the con-
trary, increases the attractions which,
under any circumstances, invite the
stamp of kindness and affection! How
different from the odious "poke bonnet, T"
used five and twenty years ago, which
formed projection line of circumvalla-
ting around bewitching features-a
chevauz-de-frise which the most ardent
and presumptuous admirer of beauty
would hardly attempt to pass-wheR
even
To undertake the pleasant process
Required an elephants proboscis.

SThe reward offered by the banks
of Boston for some effeetual method OF
preparing Bank bills so as to prevent al
terations and counterfeits has drawn out
many plans, some of which may prove
worthy of a trial S. Sully, of Ida
Mills. Troy, proposes to form bank notes
by weaving any design in silk, linen, OF
cotton, in black on white ground
These notes could all be made on the
bank premises. Geo. A. Clark, of Fall
river, Mass, proposes to manufacture
bills in nearly the same manner. Sew
eral persons propose to perforate the
letters and figures expressing the de-
nomination of the bill, while others sug-
gest that nearly the whole face Of the
bill be occupied with the figures ex-
pressing its value.

TRElsos-A paragraph is running
the rounds of the papers. stating, that
"no citizen Of the United States had ever
vet been convicted of treason" This
is mistake. Three men were convicted
of High Treason in the Circuit Court OF
the United States, sitting at Philadel-
phia, in the year 1900 or 1901. They
were sentenced to be hung, and late in
the evening of the day previous to that
appointed for their execution, they were
pardoned by President Adams.-P Penn.

campment." The Monituer further
says; "Too much care cannot be taken
to guard against the news which malevo-
lence or speculation invents. Thus it
was said that France was about to send
corps of observation to the Rhine
that the Russian army would be at Con-
stantinople before the English and
French troops could get into line-that
the squadron of Brest had been forced
by a tempest to return to Toulon-and
that the English and French frigates had
been sunk in the Black Sea by the Rus
slams. All these rumors are quite de-
void of foundation. The Government
which is perfectly aware of the anxiety
of the public, cannot better respond to it
than by publishing all the news, good or
bad which it shall receive"
Great enthusiasm was manifested
at Malta between the English and
French troops there assembled. Being
the first time that the soldiers of the
two nations have ever stood together in
friendship, they We'd with each other in
tokens of cordiality. Even the musi-
clans had frsternised, the bands of the
English performing the air of 'Partdnt
pour Ia Syrie, and the French playing
: God Save the Queen The troops now
leaving England will be expedited to
Turkey direct, without stopping at
Malta. On the Goth ult., ten Turkish
steamers were at Alexandria to embark

A LETTER FROM THE CzAR.-The fol-

"BERL1N, Monday, April 3.-Prince
George of Mecklenburg Strelitze ar
rived here yesterday, the bearer of a
letter from the Emperor of Russia to
the King of Prussia, in answer to the
mission Of Gen. Lindheim.
''Its tenor is as follows:-'When the
Western Powers succeed in securing
the emancipation of the christians in
Turkey by treaty, the Gar will be
willing to evacuate the Principalities,
simultaneously with the evacuation Of
the Black Sea by the combined feetsP
From the Cologne Gazette.
RUSSIAN INTRIGUEs.-No doubt now
exists that Russia is making every effort
to bring about an insurrectional move
ment in Bulgaria. Since the represen-
tations of Austria, these intrigues have
been enveloped in the greatest mystery.
The proclamations addressed to the
Bulgarians and the Servians, and which
are printed at the State Printing-ofice
at Bucharest, are kept so secret that up
to this time it has been impossible to
procure a single copy. What cannot,
however be concealed, is the large guam
tity Of arms that the Russians are pre-
pairing for the frontier districts of Bull
garia. 1t is said that $4,000 muskets
will be sent to different points beyond
the Danube.

His words that like a bugle blast
First rang along the Grecian shore,
And o'er the hoary Andes passed,
VIII still ring on for evermore.
Great liberty will catch the sounds,
And start to newer, brighter life,
And summon from Earth's utmost
bounds
Her children to the glorious strife.
zUnnumbered pilgrims Ger the wave,
In the far ages yet to be,
Will come to kneel beside his grave,
And hail him prophet of the free.
Tis holier ground, that lowly bed
In which his mouldering form is laid,
Than fields where Liberty has bled
Beside her broken battle blade.
Who now, in dangers fearful hour,
When all around is wild and dark,
Shall guard with voice, and arm OF
power,
Our freedoms consecrated ark?
With stricken hearts, Oh God, to Thee,
Beneath whose feet the stars are dust,
We bow, and ask that Thou wilt be
Through every i'll our stay and trust.

BIZ GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
With voice and mien of stern control,
He stood among the great and proud,
And words of fire burnt from his soul
Like hghtnings from the tempest
cloud;
His high and deathless themes were
crowned
With glory of his genius born,
And gloom and ruin hardly frowned
Where fell his bolts of wrath and
scorn.
But he is gone, the free, the bold,
The champion of his country's right;
His burning eye is dim and cold,
And mute his voice of conscious
might.
Oh no, not mute-his stirring call 7
Can startle tyrants on their thrones,
And on the hearts of nations fall
More awful than his living tones.
The impulse that his spirit gave,
To human thoughts wild stormy sea,
Will heave and thrill through every
wave
OF that great deep eternally;
And the sll-circling atmosphere,
With which is blent his breath of
fame,
Will sound, with cadence deep and
clear,
In storm and calm, his voice and
