vacant. We are sorry to learn this

Of himself, and some days yet Of quiet
submission to- the necessities of his
case, will be necessary to restore him
to that prime condition of health which
he exhibited in this body: some two
weeks ago. He possesses naturally a
very powerful Constitution, equal to
almost any taxctions Of labor and en-
durance and his resources of philoso-
ply are fully up to the exigenc@es OF
his case. aWe,feel confident, therefore,

above the horizon, and consequently the
whole tale was fabrication. An almost
instantaneous change seemed to have been
wrought in the minds of his auditors, AMI
the verdict Of mot guilty. was at the end Of
every tongue. But the advocate was not
content with this intellectual achievement.
His whole being had for months been bound
up in this work Of gratitude and mercy,
and, as the lava of the oyercharged crater
bursts from its Imprisonment, SO great
thoughts and burning words leaped forth
from the soul of the eloquent Lincoln. He
drew picture OF the pegurer SO horrid and
|ghastly that the accuser could sit under it
mo longer, but reeled and staggered from the
court room whilst the audience fancied they
could sec the brand upon his brow Then
in words of thrilling pathos Lincoln appeal
ed to the jurors as fathers Of sons who
might become fatherless and as husbands of
wives who might be widowed, to yield to
no previous impressions, no ill-founded PREF
udice, but to do his client justice; and as he
alluded to the debt of gratitude which he
owed the boys sire, tears were seen to fall
from many eyes unused to weep. 1t was
near night when he concluded by saying
that if justice was done-as he believed 1t
would be-before the sun should set it wo'd
shine upon his client afree man. The jury
retired, and the court adjourned for the
day. Half an hour had not elapsed, when,
as the officers of the court and the volun-
tear attorney sat at the tea-tabe oftheir ho-
tel, a messenger announced that the jury
had returned to their seats. All repaired
to the court house, and whilst
the prisoner was being brought from the
iail, the court room was filed to overflow
ING with citizens Of the town. When the
prisoner and his mother entered, silence
reiened as completely as though the house
were empty. The foreman Of the jury, in
answer to the usual inquiry from the court,

Then, with the words, "Where is Mr.. Lin

was too full for utterance, Lincoln turned
his eyes toward the west, where the sum

Mr.. EDIToR The following article on
the above subject, taken from the C,atipa-
tor 1lmaaac, is the best on the philosophy
and use Of lightning rods of anything |
have seen and may profit your readers.
N. C. G.
This subject is often unnecessarily j an
great deal Of mystery, and asa consequence
many useless directions are given. We
shall therefore very briefly point out what
is requisite in good conductor, that our
readers may know precisely what is want
ed.
/. Sharp points n the top 10 draac Of
the electric fusd siteatty,-When a round
ed knob is made to approach highly cleo
trifed body--as every one familiar with
the use of the electric machine knows
the fluid passes to the knob in the form Of
an explosion, as soon as the knob approach
Is within a certain distance. This distance
is longer as the charge is greater. But il
sharp point is made to approach the
charged body, the fluid is drawn off silently
in stream, with no explosion whatever,
and at greater distance than its passage
could be effected between balls or blunt
surfaces. Hence the very great Importance
Of sharp points at the upper end OF the rod
drawing off the lightning from a highly
charged cloud, safely and silently, while the
cloud is vet at such distance from the
building as to preclude the danger OF strik-
inc it. Where, however the cloud IS unt-
sualIy loaded with electricity, and approach
es very rapidly, the point may be INSULT
cient to drain the whole, and an explosion,
producing heavy thunder may take place.
This may be prevented, at least in great
degree, by several points at the upper ex-
tremity Of the rod, all of which may oper-
ate together, Tie same effect will be pro-
duced whether these points are within an
inch of each other or foot asunder. Some
years ago. we examined rod having buta
single point, lust after terrific clap ofthun-
der which followed simultaneously the Hash,
and we found that the point, which was
tipped with silver, had been melted, lron
and all, into ball the size of lead bullet.
Portions of the building were very slightly
splintered; and without the rod it would
have been doubtless torn to pieces. Had
there been several points it isprobahle none
would have been melted; and possibly the
Explosion might have been less severe. As
it was, the largest cannon would have Deen
q mere pop-gun to it.
/ 1t is not necessary that tue point be TIP

as sharp and bright as needle, It will re-
main many years, and never become dull
enough to cause damage.

chronicled. Thus far it course had been a

was changed at first to due easterly cur
rent which would have brought it directly
to Chicago had not some agency detected
it slightly northward, at a point between
Morrison and Sterling, sending it across the
State to Lake Michigan about twenty-five
miles north Of this city. Doubtless its fury
was exhausted and its ardor cooled, in harm
less commotion on the lake, since we have
no intelligence Of its presence in any part Of
Michigan. All along its track the accounts
Of destruction TO life and property are hor-
lible. The citizens Of Chicago and other
cites and towns are putting forth great eff
