nary French teiegrap hic invention is given
by the Paris correspondent of the London
Star: 1.-THE Able Cassell's pantelegraph |
is taken up by the Government. A pro |
iect of law was recently presented to the |
Corps Legislatif, which proposes that it |
in universal use. The pantelegraph is one
of the greatest scientific wonders of the
present day. tits properly enough termed
here an autograph and amateur. dis |
patch written at Paris is reproduced with
out the assistance of any clerk at Marseiles
with the most rigorous fidelity, and so also
a portrait, sketch, or drawing of any kind.
Nor does the Cassellrs apparatus need so
great a supply of electricity as that OF
Morse, and is much less affected by the
condition of the atmosphere. The En-
press has lately had her likeness tele-
graphed to some of her friends in the pro-
vinces; and, last week, Casselli telegraphed
a painting of a full blown rose from the
observatory to the bureau of the telegraph
ic administration. The petals were Of
beautiful pink color, and the leaves Of an
equally good green in short, were exactly
like the tints of the original. Rosslnl, also,
not many days ago, telegraphed to Mar
settles, by this apparatus, melody which
he improvised in honor Of the inventor,
and which has since gone the ROUNDS OF the
Paris salons.'
A REBEL YANKEE INvENTIoN.-The fol-
lowing is from a late Morris Island letter
The deserters state that the submarine
apparatus in Charleston harbor, which
was invented by an ingenious fellow from
the North, who found himself in the enc
my's lines at the beginning of the war, and
since then unable to effect his escape, has
gone to the bottom, greatly to the regret of
the rebel authorities, who hoped by its
means to blow up the Ironsides, and drive
all the fleet from the roads. They report
that the inventor of the machine took the
liberty of cruising around with it about
when he chose, and frequently, unbeknown
to the rebels, made submarine trips down
the harbor. By some means or other sus-
picion was excited in the minds of some of
the enemy that all was not going right, and
watch was placed on the Yankees move
ments. The deserters report that he was
caught one night at work clearing away
the distractions in the harbor in order to
give our iron-clads access to the city. He
was Immediately deprived of his COM
mand, arrested, with all his crew, and
thrown into Charleston Jail, to be tried as
traitor. What has become of him my in
formant could not state. His machine was
aud an attempt was made to operate it,
but with partial success. The last time 1t
was tried, the Lieutenant and crew of five
men got into it, adjusted the machinery,
and opened the valves through which
flowed the water necessary to sink the ma
chine to the proper depth. 1t gradually
disappeared from view, and up to latest
accounts had not come up again. So the
machine, the Lieutenant, and five men,
found watery grave together in ten faith
oms of water, and have probably passed
from the sight of men forever, and Com
modore Ingraham is busy inventing some
apparatus to drive the navy from its
anchorage and from his sight.
! REMARKABLE Discoveries IN PoMPEII.
New discoveries are reported from Pom
peii. A house has been discovered which,
to Judge from the splendor of its interior,
and its almost perfect furniture, must have
belonged to a very wealthy proprietor
The dining-room is paved with mosaic
The completely served table is covered
with petritied remnants of dishes; and
around it are found three divans, or table
beds, Of bronze, richly adorned with colo
and silver, upon which reposed severa
skeletons. A great many precious jewels
!, were found near them. On the table stood
among other ornaments, very beautiful
ly worked statute of Bacchus in silver
with eyes OF enamel, collar of jewels, ant
precious arnlets.
A daughter of Pember Beckwith of New
,, London, was awakened few nights sine
by burglar, and asked what was wanted
The ruffian in whisper replied, placing
!. pistol to her face: Don't you move, or II
:, blow your brains outE' Some converse
i ton then ensued, when Miss Beckwitl
g jumped out of bed, and catching hold Q
9 the miscreant whirled him suddenly about
and lodging out ran to her fathers room
: for assistance: but before any effort coul
q be made to capture the robber he ha
taken himself OFF.
