Electricity Applied to War.

Mr.. John Calvert has written from Paris
the following letter.
For many years have been perfecting q
principle Casually alluded to myself at The
meeting of the British Association at Liver
pool for the application of electricity to war
like ptirp0sesi The explosive properties are
as yet only partially known, btlt I have dis
covered that metals in their electric fluid
state may be applied to more offensive and
destructive engine of warfare than man has
ever yet contemplated. Such o discovery in
the hands of an ambitious man would go far
to give him power over the whole world;
while for an industrious nation, whose object
was only the protection Of its commerce, the
possession Of such means Of restraint would
go fat to dispel any attempts at aggression.
Discovered to the world, II might end all war;
fare, for who would be paid TO encounter the
mortal effects of such weapon, eveh should
they be provided with like instruments them
selves? My engine will command a range Of
seven miles, and on the return to the earth OF
the missiles thrown, the point of contact will
be subject to vibration, and for many yards
around all life would be completely annihjla-
ted. In writing this letter am not actusted
by any desire of diSposing of my discovery
but want to erect in England one of nv
most powerful engines, at the expense of those
who may voluntarily subscribe to its cree
ton. With this object will covenant to show
to all subscribers the terrific effects Of cleo
tricity under new mode Of application, but
may wish to reserve to myself the details
OF manipulation. .-Ehgtish Paper.

SparrOWs for New Zealand.

1t appears from the papers that, in New
Zealand, the country, at particular seasons, is
invaded by armies Of caterpillars, which clear
off tho grain crops as completely as if moved
down by Scythe. With the view of counter
acting this plague novel importation has
heen made. 1t is thus noticed by the .Souttey7,
Cross.
Mr.. Brodic has shipped three hundred spar
rows on board the S'Uordfsh, carefully selected
from the best hcdgerows in England. The
food alone, he informs us, put on board for
them, cost eighteen pounds. This sparrow
question has been a long standing joke in
Auckland; but the necessity to farmers of small
birds to keep down the grub is admitted on all
sides. There is no security in New Zealand
against the invasion of myriads of caterpillars
which devastate the crops. MIR. Brodie has ac-
climatized the pheasant, which is abundant in
the North. The descent from the pheasant to
sparrows is somewhat of an anti climax; but
should the latter multiply, the greatest benefit
will be conferred on the country.-Austialiqn

Discovery of New Motive Power.
The Paris correspondent of tho London Sta,

The Paris correspondent of tho London Star
says:
The announcement made in the Atcieys, of
Paris, OF the discovery of new motive power
which, upon experiment, has been found to be
entirely successful, has created great sensa-
tiOn. The discovery has been made by young
workman named Jacob, turner in copper, and
was the result of an accident. While seeking
to increase the power of his turning lathe, new
means of power was suddenly revealed to him,
whereby he has been able, alone, without assis-
tance, to construct a machine which increases
two hundred fold the labor of ono man, and
may be increased to unlimited extent. The
Inventor, who has hitherto worked au aztec, at
Escarbotia, has been, of course, sent for at
Paris, and has already nearly completed a
machine applicable to every species of industry.
II success should attend tho experiment, for
which it is understood one of tho great indus
trial capitalists furnishes tho money--tbe dis
cOvery will put an end to all steam power and
every other expensive action, and tho result is
waited for with the greatest anxiety in the
manufacturing world. Already have the pro-
prietors of the spinning works at Schalfhausen
been Induced to come to Paris in order to hear
the first news of the success or failure of the
trial.

SNAKE AMONG THE PouLTRY.--A correspond.
ent of the Fredericksburg Hcroti, writing from
Madison County, Va, mentions the following
as "fact" which occurred there recently. IT
is one of those "facts" which are stronger ana
harder to believe than moderate fiction:
A lady, hearing an alarm in her hen house,
proceeded to ascertain the cause, and found a
very large black snake. She sent Immediately
for her husband, who shot its head off, and
upon examination found it contained three
eggs, seven chickens, and had swalloweda hen
as far as the wings. A few days after, another
was killed in the same place, and contained
fifteen eggs.

Mammoth Wrought Iron Vessel.

The English Government are building a
wrought iron vessel Of immense size,
strength, and steam power, especially adapted
as vessel Of war, and for running down
ships of the largest kind, not even except
ing the Great Eastern itself. Sufficient pro-
gress has been made with the iron work to
make it certain that she will be ahoat and
ready for sea by June next. Her dimensions
will be--cxtreme length, three hundred and
eighty feet; breadth, fifty-eight feet; depth,
forty-on feet six inches, and her tunnage
six thousand one hundred and seventy-seven
tuns. The weight of the empty hull will be
five thousand seven hundred tuns. The
engines are to be twelve hundred and fifty
horse power, and their weight with boilers
will be nine hundred and fifty tuns. She
will carry nine hundred and fifty tuns OF
coal, and her armament, masts, stores, &C.,
will amount to eleven hundred tuns more.
Thus, at sea, her total weight will be about
nine thousand tuns.

Border City Horse Fair-First Day.


This Fair is great success. There is now
on the grounds some of the finest stock in the
West. THERE'S more fast trotting stock here
than has ever before assembled at any previous
fairs ever held in the State.
The great two mile and repeat race, however,
between "Big Wagoner," out of the old "Wag-
oner," Glendale" out of old "Gloncoe," and
"Blue-Tailed Fly" out of "Grey Eagle" to
come off on Thursday, will be the great attrac.
tion Of the Fair. These horses are all from
the best stock the country has ever produced
and have all made their mark as first. class
racers. This race is creating an immense ex.
citement, and will draw together the largest
crowd that has ever heretofore assembled to.
gether at similar Fair.
Persons wishing to visit this Fair can leave
Cincinnati on the carly morning train and ar.
rive at nine O'Clock, A. NJ; returning, leave
at six P. M.

Destruction of a City by an Earthquake.

The English papers received by the 1Etna
announce tho entire destruction Of the ancient
city of Erzroom, in Turkey, by repeated shocks
of earthquake within the last three months.
The first earthquake occurred June l, and
letter from one Of the missionaries Of the Amer
ican Board gives vivid description of the e rst
great shock. lie says:
The first shock, which was not very severe,
was felt about eight o'clock A. NJ, June L,
and at 10 o'clock An tho following day
came the fearful earthquake, which laid in
ruins 1000 houses, nearly destroying l,5OO
more. and injuring 200 others; leaving (ac-
cording to the accounts of Turkish officials, J
over 300 houses unframed; but do not be-
live that there are one hundred houses in
Erzroom as sound as they were before the
earthquake. The shock was not only felt
throughout the city, but the villages on the
plain, and even at Hassan- Kallah, twenty
miles to the east.
According to official returns, three hundred
and eighty dead bodies have been taken out
from the ruins, about two hundred wounded,
and sixty are missing. The heavy shock,
which did the mischief, is said to have con-
tlnued about eight seconds, and it was followed
by three others, less severe, on the same day.
Shocks, moro or less severe, were also felt at
intervals during eight consecutive days, since
which there has been perfect quiet, and the
work of building and repairing is now going
on as rapidly as possible.
1t ia a singular fact that the destruction
was almost entirely confined to the Moslem
quarter of the city, aud only twelve Christians
lost their lives. None of our protestant friends
were injured, though several barely escaped
with life. One woman, sister of our native
preacher, B. Hohannes, feeling the waving to
and fro Of the house, seized her two little
children, and escaped in time to see roof and
wall come down with crash where she had
been sitting. Part Of another house, adj Joining
ours, was crushed, but no one was harmed
The two mssion-houses were injured, but not
very seriously. rt'

A REMARKABLE OLD LADY.--There is a lady
residing near Little Georgetown, Virginia, who
is in her eighty third year. Her descendants
consist Of twelve thildren, forty grandchildren
and eighteen great grandchildren. She very
frequently walks from fifteen to twenty miles
per day to visit her friends, and carries with
her bundle weighing from ten to fifteen
pounds. In her domestic affairs she can equal
the majority of our young females. She assists
in preparing breakfast, dinner and supper, and
in addition can spin sixteen cuts of yarn per
day. This is loud talk for old Berkeley, but it
is nevertheless founded upon facts.

Breadstufs and Provisions.

The Secretary of the Treasury has furnished
an exhibit of the aggregate value of breadstuHs
exported to foreign countries from the United
States from 1928 to 1888. We give the state
ment for the last seventeen years, beginning
with 1912. The Importance of breadstuffs in
our export trade to Europe, Sc., is thus fully
shown, as well as tho part which salted pro-
visions occupy in our foreign export. The
shipment OF breadstufs in 1S5j-ISj7 exceeded
that of the famous famine year lS47, while
that of provisions was larger in lSj5-'6 than at
any previous or subsequent period. If we
could rely upon such an export (seventy- -four
to seventy-seven millions annually for the
future, it would give great stimulus to pro-
ducti0n in our country.

Ucry ino sponge, a cup of sweet skim milk,
somo chite soap. Put the soilcd glove on ono
hand, dip the flannel in the milk, rub on some
soap, and with the other hand rub the glove
till the dirt is all of, changing the milk when
it becomes much sOilcd. If you prefer it, you
can lay the gloves on towel folded several
times, spread them out smooth, and rub them
in that manner with n flannel, milk and soap.
Lay the gloves between folded towels till they
are nearly dry, when you will find, by stretch

stretcher, they will look like new. This re-

Coal 0IL.-The manufacture of coal oil of
kerosene is carried on very extensively all
over the country, and is said to be very profit
able. The highest yield of oil from coal is
said to be ono hundred and ten Gallons from a
tun Of coal. Some Goals yield l. very little oil
that the cost of manufacture makes it unprofit-
able. The light from single burner Of coal
oil is said to be equal to three or four sperm
candles. 1t is sold for about 81 so q gallon.

Sheriff of Woodford County, Illinois, and a
Mr.. Miller, of Decatur, were pursuing two
horse thieves, whom they overlook a few miles
north of Bloomington, in Mclean County, on
Friday last. They rode toward the men until
quite near them, when suddenly tho fellows
drew each a revolver, and covering his man,
separated to strike out across the prairie. The
Sheriff followed one, Miller took the other,
and tho former pressed his fugitive SO close
that the latter turned, and made some move,
ment as if to fire. when the Sheriff suddenly
fired his own pistol, and shot the man through
the breast. He fell Instantly dead from the
saddle without a word, the ball having passed
through his heart. The other iaan, seeing the
fate of his comrade, gave himself up quietly.
Both the living and the dead horse-thicf were
taken to Bloomington on Friday night.

A MOB HANGING CRAZY NEGRo.-The
Helena Ark Shield, of the 2Oth of August,
says that a negro named Calvin was hung in
that county on the preceding Wednesday, by
citizens of Richmond and adjoining town
ships. He was charged with numbering an
overseer named Bickers. The reason as
signed for thus dealing summarily with him,
is the fact that he had been subject at times
to alienation of mind. which might, in case
of a regular legal trial, have caused his ac-
quitta. That he was sane when the killing
took place, the testimony, such as could be
adduced, was conclusive. A short time be-
fore his execution he talked freely with two
ministers of the Gaspel-Messrs. Grant and
Black-who asked him if he had any idea of
q future state. He merely said he was going
to hell--that there was no other hope or ex-
pectation in his mind; and while prayer was
being offered up, he manifested sort of sto-
4 cal indifference. , Ht .

Of the Petersburg (Va.) Press, writing from the

There was large sale Of slaves at Abing-

from here to attend, but the prices at which
they sold kept off all the planters. The aver
age was considerably over one thousand dol
lars all round. An ordinary girl, fifteen years
Of age, sold for sixteen hundred and fifty dol
lars. A carpenter and blacksmith sold each
for about twenty-five hundred dollars, and in
fact such prices as they sold at were never
heard of before anywhere.
