Among the curiosities exhibited in the
late Paris Exposition, and promised for
ours, was huge concave mirror, the in
strument of startling species of optical
magic:-On standing close 10 the mirror,
and looking into it, it presents nothing
but a magnifcently monstrous dissection
of your own physiognomy. On retiring a
little, say couple of feet, it gives your
own face and figure in true proportion bu
| reversed, the head downwards. Most of th,
spectators, ignorent of anything else, obser
these two effects, and pass on. But retire
still further; standing at the distance oi
FIVE or six feet from the mirror, and behold
you see YOURSELF not refection-it does
not strike you as refection-but your YER
table self, standing in the middle, part be-
tween you and the mirror. The effect is al
most appalling from the idea it suggests Of
something suberDatural; so startling, in fac;
that men of the strongest nerves will shrink
invountarily at the first view. Ifyou raise
your cane to thrust at your other self, you
will see it pass clean through the body and
appear on the other side, the figure thrust
ing at you at the same instant. The artsi
who first succeeded in finishing a mirror o.
this description brought it to one of thu
French kings-if we recollect Alright, it wa
Louis XV-placed his Majesty on the righ
spot, and bade him draw his sword anC
Lburst at the figure he saw. The king die
so; but seeing the point of sword directed
at his own breast, threw down bis weapon
and ran away. The practical joke cost the
inventor the Kings patronage and favor
his Majesty being afterwards so ashame
of his own cowardice, that he could neve

Tnalana union Conrentlon.

The Union Mass State Convention held
at indianapolis on the 18th instant, was a
marked and mighty uprising of the patriot
ic people Of Indiana-of State whose co.
600 volunteers have borne the old Gag Of
the Union in triumph on every battle field
Of the war to crush rebellion. OF the Con-
vention and its work, the indianapolis Jour
nal expresses unqualified qualification, and
adds: srr =, a.
1t will be cause for rejoicing all over
tho State, and It will strengthen the bands
ofthe Union men in every State. So entire
ly harmonious, and thoroughly satisfied a
Convention We have never known. Though
a mass meeting its work was done with rap
idity and completeness. None had selfish
purposes to gain, or reveuges to accomplish,
and none, therefore, had difficulties to in.
trude. Everybody seemed sincerely anx-
ious to expedite business, to spare personal
displays, and 10 sacrifice individual feelings
to the general good. A finer exhibition Of
the subordination of personal aims aud di6-
erences to the advancement of a great and
holy cause was never seen in any State or
age. II was Convention worthy of the
crisis and the country, and tho ticket it has
presented is worthy oft. Ofthe Republi,
cans on it we need not speak. They are
the old State Officers, known and approved
everywhere. John l. Morrison, the candi-
date for Superintendent of Public Instruct
ion, is a Democrat of lifelong adhesion, an
accomplished scholar, thoroughly couyer-
SAINT with all the educational needs of our
State, and familiar with all our educational
legislation. He has long been prominent
in the minds Of many ardent friends of the
cause Of education in connection with the
Office to which he has now just been nomin-
ated, the most important, by all odds, in
the whole list. Delana E. Williamson, the
candidate for Attorney General, is also
Democrat, an able and prominent lawyer,
and Union man from the start. He will
make the State valuable officer we are
sure, and will be cordially supported by 10y
al men Of all parties. With the ticket pre-
sented, strong in its personal excellence and
its political soundness, its character and its
loyalty, the Uuion party will carry Indiana
by 10000 majority.

Emancipation Convention, after session of
three days, adjourned this P. M. It's pro-
ceedings were harmonious and there was q
firm determination evinced to energeticaly
push forward the great policy which the
Convention met to inaugurate.
A series of resolutions was adopted hearth
ly endorsing the National Administration I;
recommending the general emancipation of
the slaves Of the State aud tho acceptance
of the aid tended by the General Govern
ment; submitting to the people of the State
the details of such action and such legisla-
ton as may be necessary to accomplish the
end in view, to be indicated by them
though the representatives elect to the next
General Assembly; pressing thorough or
ganization of the State for fall elections
condemuing Gov. Candles operations in
soldiers from other States and expressing
thanks to the national government and its
officers for their aid and protection in our
conflict with the rebellion.
There was considerable opposition to the
resolution condemning Gov. Gamble, but il
was finally passed.
An Executive Committee, consisting o.
two members from each congressional Dis
trict was appointed.

Tho Confederacy proceeds to argue

his recent speeches with the following classic

"The people Of New England had developed
