REMAINS OF WIN. S. SpEAR.-It is remem-
bered that Wm. S. Spear, a noted lawyer of
Downieville, was killed, with Meredith, Orms-
by and others, in a battle with Indians on
Truckee river, last spring. The company of
explorers, recently returned from Pyramid
Lake to Downieville, brought with him the
remains, which were prepared and forward
ed to the friends of deceased. who reside in
New York. The body was found nearly de-
stroyed by animals, but still recognizable
and was carefully packed in box and car
ried from place to place until the explorers
returned to the settlements. These facts we
learn from Mr.. ]. Horrall, one of the explo-
ring party, who, together with all the others,
deserves honorable mention for having ex-
hibited so much consideration for the dead
and the living. Mr.. Spear was a lawyer of
much ability and distinction, and had been
identified with nearly all public affairs in the
former history of Downieville.-[M Mirror.

A MONSTER BAtLooN.--Mr. G. Coe, of Rome,
n. Y, is now constructing monster balloon,
with which he hopes to succeed in his prof.
ect of aerial navigation. In September last,
while endeavoring 10 disengage a balloon
from a tree he rret with an accident, in con-
sequence of which he subsequently suffered
amputation of one of his arms. In April
last lie commenced work Oh his mammoth
balloon, which is by this time completed
There are about 4,7oe yards of cloth in this
arial ship; over this is the netting, weighing
900 pounds. The balloon when inflated is
208 feet high, its diameter being 10 feet
and to 6n it requires 1871 900 cubic feet OF
gas. The car and basket are 399 feet in cir
cumference, and 13 in diameter, made o1

THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.-Scence had

the sixteenth century. Men had neither

They had then philosophy without expert
meht, mathematics without instruments,
gesmetry without scales, astronomy without
demonstration. They made war, and waged
it without powder, shot, cannon, or mortars.
The mob made their bonfires without squibs
or crackers. They went to sea without COM
pass, and sailed without needle. They view
ed the stars without telescopes, and meas
ured attitudes without barometers. Learning

ufactures, and their richest robes were the
skins of the most formidable monsters. They
carried on trade without books, and cores
pondence without post. Their merchants
kept no accounts, their shop-keepers no cash
books. They had surgery without anatomy
physicians without ipecacuanha, and cured
agues without bark.

MARSHAL NEYs DEATH.-The vengeance
'of the allied powers demanded some victims,
and Ney, who had well nigh again put the
crown on Bonaparte's lread at Waterloo, was
one of them. Condemned to be shot by the
allied conquerors, he was led TO tire garden
of Luxembourg early in the morning of the
eth of December, and placed in front of file
of soldiers to shoot him. One of the Off
GERS stepped up to bandage his eyes, but Ney
Fefulsed him, saying, "Are you ignorant that
for FIVE and twenty years have been accus-
TONED to face both powder and bullet 2" He
then lifted his hat above his head, and with
the same calm voice that had steadied his
columns so frequently in the tumut of bat
tie, said, ~ declare before God and man that

AN IMPORTANT ISvENT1oN.-Professor d.
A. Woodward, of the Maryland Institute
School of Design, is the inventor of the So
lar Camera, an instrument which enables
the Photographic operator to take the picture
of any object instantaneously, and of any
size desired 1t has been found useful in
'daguerrotyping children and animals. The
London and Paris papers speak highly of it.
A late number of the Paris La Luminere
says of the invention:
''At the last meeting of the French Pho
tographic Society Count Aguado presented
several pictures CD aimed by means of Prof
Woedward's Solar Camera, representing ami
mails, taken instantaneously on quarter plates
1t is impossible to produce any thing more
perfect of this kind. Animal painters after
this, must despair. There was. in parsicu-
lar, the front view of a COW, with the body
foreshortened, and the head erect, which
makes the most charming picture that can
be imagined. 1t is so full of life, that you
expect every instant to see the animal walk
out of the picture"
The London Photographic News thus con-
cludes long and interesting notice of this
Solar Camera:
'sThe introduction of the Solar Camera
by the ready means it affords of producing
life-size portraits, from small, instantaneous
negatives, will no doubt effect a revolution
IN Photographic portraiture."

Waterloo the Day after the Battle.

On surface of two square miles, it was
ascertained that fifty thousand men and
horse were lylngi The luxurious crop of
ripe grain which had covered the field of
battle, was reduced to litter and beaten into
the earth; and the surface trodden down by
the cavalry, and fnrrowed deeply by the
cannon wheels, strewed with many relic of
the fight. Helmets and cuirasses, shattered
firearms and broken swords; all the variety
of military ornaments, lancer caps and High
land bonnets; uniforms of every color, plume
and pennon; musical instruments, the appa-
ratus of artillery, drums. bugles; but, God
why dwell on the narrowing picture of
foughten feld?-each and every rulnous dis
play bore mute testimony to the misery of
such battle. K Conld the melancholy
appearance of this scene of death be hight
ened, it would be by witnessing the resear-
ches of the living, amid its desolation, for
the objects of their love. Mothers, and
wives, and children, for days were occupied
in that mournful duty; and the confusion of
the corpses-friend and foe intermingled, as
they were--often rendered the attempt at
recognizing individuals difficult, and in some
cases impossible. In many places the
dead lay four feet deep upon each other,
marking the spot some British square had
occupied, exposed for hours to the murderous
fire of French battery. Outside, lancer
and cuirassier were scattered thickly on the
EARTH Madly attempting to force the serried
bayonets of the British, they had fallen in
the bootless essay by the musketry of the i'm
ner files. Farther on, you trace the spot
where the cavalry of France and England
hadencountered; chasseur and huSsar were
intermingled; and the heavy Norman horses
of the Imperial Guard were interspersed
with the gray chargers which had carried
Albyn's chivalty. Here the Highlander and
traileur lay, side by side, together; and the
heavy dragoon, with green Etin's badge up
on his helmet, was graphing in death with
the Polish lancer. x On the summit of
the ridge, where the ground was numbered
with dead, and trodden fetlock deep in mud
and gore by the frequent rush of rival cav
airy, the thick-strewn corpses of the Inn peri
al Guard, pointed out the spot where Napo- |
leon had been defeated Here, in column,
that favored corps, on whom his last chan
ces rested, had been annihilated and the ad.
vance and repulse ofthe Guard was traceable
by mass of fallen Frenchmen. In the hol-
low below, the last struggle of France had
been vainly made; for there the Old Guard |
attempted to meet the British, and afford
time to their disorganized companions to
rally.
