APPAREILS R~ESPIRATEURs.

On Thursday, the 18th inst, there was
exhibited, at the Polytechnic Institution,
Regent Street, a new, and what promises
to become one Of the most useful of
modern appliances in dealing with water,
smoke, &C. The invention is a French
one, and the patentee, NJ. GaIibert. is now
in England with a view of exhibiting his
very clever invention. Hitherto, in all
attempts made in this country, it has been
deemed necessary to envelope the diver in
a huge suit, which must seriously impede
the freedom Of his motions and the ac-
tions of his limbs. With the new inven-
ton of NJ. Galibert this difficulty is over
come, and without covering the head or
impeding the action of the arms a man is
at. liberty to do under water all that he
could do on dry land. The AppareiIs Res
pirateurs are remarkably simple, whilst
most effective and safe. They are sim
ply a sheepskin bag carefully secured,
which is inflated by the use Of the bellows.
The bag is fitted with a double tube, the
apex of which is taken into the mouth
through one aperture, the pure air in the
sheepskin bag is conveyed to the operator,
and the impure air breathed passes through
the second tube, and thus reaches the bot
tom OF the sack, lifting the purer supply
TO the top and making it more available
whilst this Lasts everything is safe. This
sheep>kln bag is closely fitted 10 the back
of the Wearer, leaving him wholly unin-
numbered, whilst his only other protec-
ton consists Of a peculiarly constructed
spectacle TO protect the eye, whilst the
nos5ril is closed by one of the little clips
such as are generally used for keeping
papers together in ordinary business trans
t%acions. For all purposes which make a
descent under water necessary, OF In case
Of fire where smoke has TO be combatted,
the Appareils Respirateurs are invalua-
BILE; they enable the wearer to set both
elements at defiance, and render the ne
cessary assistance required. 1t is stated
that this apparatus is in use at every fire
station in Paris and the leading French
towns. It's adoption here is but a matter
of time, and every one who witnesses NJ.
Galibert enclosed in a kind of sentry-box
Theoretically sealed, with a box of char
coal alight emitting the most destructive
efluvia, could not fail to see the value of
the invention in cases of fire. We would
strongly suggest that gentlemen of scien-
tiic requirements should witness the ex-
periments now taking place at the Poly
technic, if they desire TO he satisfied how
effectively smoke, even in its densest quail
tiles and suffocating conditions, can be
mastered by the use of the Appareils Res
pirateurs. The Duke of Sutherland, Mr..
Hodges, and Captain Shaw, should1ose
no time in seeing this very important in
vention and testing its applicability.

knowledge
Another case illustrative Of the same idea was
heard By Recorder Eneu on the same day.

his head from the bandages surrounding it, ex-
hibiting the marks of broom handle admins

arrested She stood full six feet high with
breadth Of shoulder and length Of arm in due
proportion The husband reiterated his ailida-
dl, The woman made no defence, and the mag
isra,e fined her for intoxication. As she didn't
pay the fine the officer motioued her TO follow
him to prison. fhe ohoyed the order.

and labor with any and all religious dcuom-
nations in strengthening the hands of the
government and upholding the national
authority in its struggle with armed and
bloody treason. In all his dealings with
rebellion-in his speeches, his sermons,
his unyielding devotion to Liberty and law /;

field extending sympathy and aid to our
wounded and dying soldiers, in the hospi-
tails ministering to their wants and alcviat-
ing their suiferings, or wherever or when
ever his services might be made useful to
the country or the cause, he has been so
thoroughly national that he may be eonsi-
dsred as having some claim upon all denom-
nations OF christians for their thanks and
good will and we hope that in the special
duty in which he is engaged at present
the freeing of his church from debt-all
classes, without regard to sect or denomi-
nation will cheerfully step forward, and
by assisting in the removal of the debt,
gracefully acknowledge the varied services
rendered by Mr.. Dickerson in these trying
times, and evince their esteem for him as a
useful, patriotic, energetic, loyal citizen and
christian minister

THE ms AND OUTS OF MATRIMoNY.
Young gentlemen who indulge in connubial-

In this particular school the very dullest people
rapidly take On new ideas A case in illustration
was heard on Saturday before Alderman Weld

on the evening when she abjured the name of

Mr.. Wilkins received the bill, looked at the bill,
and allowed that he "kneW nothing about it,

MIR. Wilkins so informed collector, and immedi-
aiely closed the front door, leaving collector to
stand upon the sidewalk. AS We get this from
the collector himself it must be as he says
Collector, however, knew a little about the
law. 1t is said that necessity knows no law. -
This is all humbug Collectors receive a Der
centage for collecting bills. lie felt necessity
for his money, and results proved that he knew
a good deal Of law. liz Immediately entered
suit against Mr. wilkins for bis wife's debt The
hearing came of as we have said on Saturday
morning, before Alderman Welding. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilkins appeared in person. Collector

to deny it. MIR. wilkins, Of course, followed

GETTING Our OF DEBT.-Wc are glad
to hear that the members of the Second
Baptist Church, of this city, are making
an earnest effort to pay off the debt which
has encumbered their property for many
years Already, we are informed, good
progress has been made, and liberal sub
scriptions given by the church and congre-
cation. Their building is an ornament to
our city, and the church deserves great
credit in bringing the enterprise thus far so
near complete success. We hope that
our men Of benevolence and means will
find it in their hearts to render helping
hand just at this juncture.
This commendable effort was inaueura.

nARnoR1Ne RnnELs.

Our victorious armies are gradually
crushing the infamous Southern rebellion
which has been raging for four years in
our country. One after another rebel
forts and entrenched cities are falling |
into our hands. Already the boasting
men and brazcn "ladies" of the slave
breeding States are beginning to show
certain signs Of dread at our advancing
armies, and in some cases exhibit very
decent respect TO cur soldiers, our officers
and our flag. Even President Lincoln,
"the low, vulgar bufoon," has recently
been honored with visit from three of
the greatest of the Confederate magnates.
Soon we shall find these Southern traitors
willing 10 lay down their arms and ask
for mercy. We are for showing mercy to
all those who truly repent of and forsake
their evil ways. But we ask how should
they be treated, who, with a sort of modi-
fed and crafty silence, or with proud and
defiant words and looks, come among us
and ask that we shall, out of Courtesy"
respect their "political opinions and re-
ceiye them to our hearts and homes, while
they, the meantime, are bitter rebels at
heart Shall true patriots welcome such
impudent rebels? While our noble Union
soldiers are being starved at Anderson.

with our dclicacies at our parlor tables
While our brothers, sons and fathers are
being crushed, abused and prosecuted
until through starvation, privation and
continual insult they die at Libby Prison

and open our houses TO do them honor
Shall our children hear them talk agains

Shall our Wilmington "secesh' be quietl

faintest conception of the terrific grandeur nf

We are told, by old mountaueers, that the
storm of the other day was the grandesi scene
of the crash Of mBtter ever witnessed or heard
by them, and they have seen and heard great
many. The rain descended in one solid sheet
for more than twenty-four hours the waters
gathered into mighty mountain rivers, and
swept down the canons and gorgss with a
velocity perfectly bewildering, carrying in their
close embrace, giant trees, and bouders, that
would weigh hundred tons, were rushing
along as ii they were feathers. They represent
the noiso and oonfnsioH caused by the conclusion
and attritlon Of these mighty rocks, rushing
against each other with a force and velocity
that causes stream Of fire TO follow in their
track of the reeliug, rocking, and crashing fall
Of timber before the restless sweep of the hurry
lug tornado as being almost deafeniug.
Dwelers in crowded cities and valley towns
who breathe the ieted atmosphere of saloons,
lop-olling about the streets studying fashions,
