4 ss1 The pistolograph.

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune thus describes recent inven-
ton which is attracting attention in England
"The pistologram is picture in glass, OBJ
tanned in the first instance by an instantane-
Gus flash of light, and subsequently made per-
manent by fire. The process of giving per
manency to photograph by fire was discover
ed by Mr.. Skate, while endeavoring to fix a
photograph on the surface of an enameled
platina-plate, in furnace he had especially
ments he found that by enclosing a photo
graphic picture between two plates of glass,
and subjecting the compound to a heat Short
OF that required to melt sglass, for definite
time, the three substances eventually formed
but one, as hard and homogeneouSsas a sin
gle piece of crystal-and as capable of being
cut by lapidary into any Ievuired shape,
while the Originallus of the indurated pic
ture would continue as unchanged a the innate
veins of a polished agate. 80 rTr
The most interesting feature in pistologra-
ply is its alliance with the magnesium light.
BY this all the discourasing influences of dark
days are overcome, and the operator, avoiding
the disturbing causes arising from variable
conditions OF light, is able, in his darkened
room, to cast the brilliantly reflected glare of
the magnesium light-refector full on the oh
Ject to he photographed, and by an artistic
management OF this friendly agent, to produce
features less rigid and more natural than
those which depend upon the ordinary light.
About three seconds suffice to take beallti
full miniature on glass. 1t is for this class of
portraits the pistolograph is chiefly intended.
land Mr. Skate can show many exquisite
proofs of his skill in producing these tiny like
nesses. Ihe suddenness with which picture
can be taken is very remarkable-a shell
bursting from cannon, a passenger whizzine
past in fast train are among the artists tro-
phles. The name of the instrument, intend
light, indicates its wonderful powers. In the
word Of the inventor. 1T is to photography
what the revolver is to gunnery, and bears the
same relation to 12-inch plate camera as q

Bad for our Capitalists.

!. A bill has passed the Senate of Kentucky
Incorporating bank in Louisville, to be con-
trolled by free colored citizens That shows
progress. But the progress had a touch of
spite and ingratitude in it. One Mr.. Chandler
OF Taylor moved as an amendment, which
was carried II to II, that "no persons shall be
permitted to act as officers who have ever lived
in Boston. Now we rejoice that by the help
of the negro, "the dark and bloody ground" is
to ma rage its own finances. But this hit is
hardly fair, in view OF the qfact that agents
from said ground have heretofore been seen in
TINS city, seeking help to sustain its, neutral
Unionism. Still, dark-hued bankers south OF
the Ohio, being ray at least Of the light that

with the rank of Captain, and sent to the Ar
my of the Tennessee. He reported at Vicks-
burg Just four days before its surrender to
General Grant. With Grant he went to Chat

in the autumn OF 1863. Next spring, Grant
having been appointed Lieutenant General,
Mr.. farker accompanied him to the East.as
ASSISTANT Adjutant General, and was with
him during the entire campaigns from the
Kapldan~ to the surrender Of Lee. During
inns time, in August, 1854, he was appointed
Military Secretary to the Lieutenant General,
with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In Feb
ruary, 1866, al the special request of the Lieu

the Commissioners were very successful; they
succeeded in making n general treaty of peace
with the twelve Indian tribes.
To us this seems much. Yet the man who
has since performed all these duties was on
ly few years ago excluded from the bar in
the State of his birth simply and wholly be-
cause he was not 'white.' The world does
move, after all and we wonder whether the
man who was thought worthy to be chosen
Military Secretary by our Lieutenant General,
would now, should he desire admission, be ex-
cluded from the bar. If there be any existing
rule of the Supreme Court of the State re-
quiiing this. we very respectfully suggest to
their Honors the Judges to rescind it as soon
as possible. We do not think that the judicial
dignity would be seriously impaired should it
happen that they were some day called upon
