To RENDER CLOTHES SAFE FROM Fire.
The Scientific american gives the following
method of preparing ladies' dresses to render
them fire. proof:
The chemicals to be used are the tupgstate
of soda and the sulphate of ammonia. The
stannate of soda, the carbonate of magnesis
and common alum will answer, but the first
two are said to be the best. One part OF
these salts dissolved in ten parts of water is
about the strength of solution required. The
salt may be mixed with the starch, or after
the dresses are starched and dried in the
atmosphere, they may be thoroughly and
uniformly moistened with it, then dried and
ironed. In several of the great bleaching
works in Great Britain, the muslin in pieces
is now rendered uniDfsmmable by the ap'
plication of these chemicals.

DistressinR Occurrence-A Man suTOcated
In

A most distressing occurrence trsnspired
on Liberty street, Pittsburg, Saturday morn
ing, through which man named Michael
Casey lost his life. II appears that the de.
ceased was engaged in digging a we'll for
Dixon & Co., in the vicinity Of the Phoenix
Brewery, in the Ninth Ward. About half.
past seven Saturday morning he descended
the well to begin work, but was almost inn
medistely overpowered by the foul air which
had accumulated during the night, and sank
on the bottom in an unconscious state. A
fellow workman who assisted him in his de-
scent and saw him fall, hurried TO his rescue,
but, upon reaching the bottom, he, too was
overcome in the same manner as Casey and
fell senseless in the same way. A crowd was
now collected, and, after a good deal of
trouble, the parties were brought to the sur
face, both insensible, and both apparently
entirely beyond the reach of human aid. 1t
was so indeed with Casey, who never
breathed after being taken out; but his COM
panion was brought to by the application Of
proper remedies, and is now out of danger.
Casey was a married man, and resided on
Wsshing gton-street, in the Sixth Ward. He
leaves a wife and several children, two of
whom are now serving their country in the
field. The Coroner was summoned during
the morning, and held an inquest on the re-
mains of deceased. The testimony went to
show that his death resulted from the inha-
laton of noxious gases in thei well, and q
verdict to this effect was rendered. The
well was about thirty-fve feet in depth, and
| Mr.. Casey had the contract for sinking it
| He bad, we are told considerable experience
| in this kind of work, and ought to have
known better than to have entered the vel
| until he had first assured himself the all
was all right below.

Interesting from the Indian Territory

ST LOUIS, October l.-Rev. Mr.. Robinson,
Missionary Teacher in the Cherokee Nation,
has arrived. He reports Chief John Ross
finally succumbed to the Secession pressure
and on August 20 he called the Council
together at Talequah, sent in message re-
commencing q severance of their connection
with the United States, and an alliance with
the Southern Confederacy.
The Council approved the recommends
ton, and appointed Commissioners to make
a treaty of alliance with the Southern Gov
ernment. The Confederate Commissioner
assumed the payment of annuities hitherto
received by the Cherokees from our Govern
ment.
The Creeks have raised one thousand men
for service in the Confederate army, and the
Cherokees have formed Home Guard one
thousand two hundred strong.
1t appears the troops sent into Arkansas
by Ben McCulloch, after the battle of Spring
field, were posted on the border of the
Cherokee nation to intimidate the Council
and force John Ross to yield to the demand
of the rebels.
Colonel ST. George Cook, of the Utal

Lightning CaIIRrnphI.

One of the most modern and most remark
able achievements of electricity is thus re-
ferred to by a writer in Once-d Wesk:
Another great element of our present civil
lization is beginning to make signs of its ex-
istence in the South Kensington Museum.
We allude to the electric telegraph. Bake
wells copying machine is one of the most
interesting of this class, as it brings before
the public eye the means that can be en-
ployed to write with pen thousands of miles
in length. II the Atlantic cable were in
working order, for instance, man through
its instrumentslity could sit down to write
a letter in London, and feel certain that a
dc-Simile of his handwriting was at the same
at New York. The manner in which this
astounding machine works is as follows:
The message is originally written on a con-
Quoting machine, such as tin foil, with resin
or some non conducting ink. Over the face
of this letter, which is placed on a cylinder,
point of metal revolves-this point is in
connection with the conducting wire; at
New York say piece of chemically prepared
paper is placed on like cylinder to receive
the message; both cylinders are made to
move round by clock-work. AS the point at
this end of the wire passes over the nom
conducting resin writing, no current passes,
hence the point which moves anonymously
with it at New York does not change the
color of the paper, but, all the other surface
of the writing tablet being a conductor, the
currents pass and deepen its color by chemi-
cal action on the far-distant recording tablet.
The receiver thus obtains perfect fac -simile
of his correspondents handwriting, done in
white upon blue ground. Specimens of this
electrical handwriting are placed beside the
telegraphic machine in the Museum of Ken
singtoD, and asserd an admirable example oi
the caligraphy of the lightning pen.

The Pooh AND THE COMING WNTRR.-In
view of the near approach of winter, and

Let every man, woman and child save
now let them even pinch themselves and
families now to prepare for darker times
ahead. The winter is rapidly advancing,
when the want of warm clothing, comfort
able fires, unbroken shoes and host of Other
necessaries will be severely felt, if unpro.
vided for now. Every shilling now squan'
dered in dissipation or unnecessarily wasted
robs your family of some comfort. Every
hour of idleness, when work may be OBJ
tanned, is a crime. Look to it, men with
wives and little ones, that when the hour ot
gloom and distress shall arrive, you shall
have saved, even though it be but few
dollars, for that time of need. He who
neglects this plain duty is worse than un
wise; he is wicked.

THE genius of adoptiveness is displayed in
various degrees by different nations or races,
and in paper read lately before the Royal
Society of Great Britian, Mr.. ]. Crawford
drew the following interesting contrast be-
tween the Europeans and all other people of
the globe, with respect to the trait above
named. He said:
The races of Asia, and it afforded incon.
testible evidence of incapacity and inapti-
tude, had borrowed little from Europe.
There were only two notable exceptions,
firearms and tobacco, but they rejected the
printing press, aud rarely used the mariner S
compass. The European races, on the con-
trary, had borrowed freely from every coun-
try that had any thing good to give. From
Asia the list of our adoption was large, in
Guiding cotton and silk and their manufac-
ture, paper, distillation, sugar, tea, coffee,
spices and opium, besides that valuable ac-
QUESTION, the domestic fowl. To America
we owed the potato, maize, the chinchona,
tobacco, the turkey, and to Asia and Amer
lea our most valuable dyes. From Africa
we had palm oil, the gallini and the ass.
But none of the races of these countries had
adopted from us.

FABIAN PoLIoY.-Fabius, the celebrated
ard well-known Roman General, was called
to defend his country against Hannibal, the
Carthagenian, who had thus far defeated all
the Roman Generals sent against him. Fa-
bius was now very careful about keeping his
army together, and was very cautious in
what direction he moved. He sent his scouts
ahead to see that there were no aunbuscades
on the road he meant to travel. He was
cautious to avoid coming to any general bat
tie. By this means he finally starved out
Hannibal and defeated all his troops. The
caution of Fabius has since become proverbial
and is known as the Fabian policy.
