course No lives were lost.
The thermometer indicates 10 degrees.

An EIectro.Magnefic Car Brake.

The French Academy has awarded q
prize of twenty-five hundred francs to NJ.
Achard, an engineer Of Paris, for an cleo
tro-magnetic brake, but refrains from
recommending its adoption. If it were
worth prize it ought 10 have been worth
trial.
Important experiments with this in
vention were recently tried OF the South
eastern Railway, in England. On the
train were numerous directors and officers
of the principal companies, and printed
programme was furnished TO each, to
enable him to understand the various sig
nails, and the rspidity and accuracy with
which they would be obeyed. The ex-
periments proved entirely successful, and
the rapidity in the transmission of the
signals were scarcely more admired than
the accuracy of their Interpretation. The
original cost of the apparatus for each
car was fifteen dollars, and the expense
of keeping it up was represented as only
trifing. The magnetic circuit is COM
pleted by a wire extending outside of the
car, and the connection between two cars
is made by sn elastic spiral.
The need of some such contrivance is
strongly felt in England, where so many
cases of assault and murder have occurred
in the secluded compartments of the rail-
way carriages. Some of the London
journals recommend the adoption of the
American system of car signals as much
more eficacious remedy against crime
and in Southern Germany and Switzer-
land approaches are made TO the long cars
so familiar to US.

Brevetted BrIgadier-GeneraI.

Upcn the strong endorsement of the
fighting General Custer, Col. A. B. Net
tleton, formerly of the Second Ohio Cav
airy, and now editor of the SanduslIy
Register, has been nominated by the
President for brevet nomination to the
rank of Brigadier- General. The honor
could not be more worthily bestowed than
upon the gallant commander of the gallant
Second Ohio Cavalry. No officer in the
Union army has more brilliant record.
Colonel Nettleton entered The service, as
first Lieutenant, April 10th, 1861, and
served until June 18th, 1865, being Col
onel of his regiment at the time Of his
muster-out. He was present in seventeen
battles and flty-three other engagements,
having FIVE horses shot under him while
in the service. His conduct, gallantry
and ability drew from his commanding
officers the highest encOmiums. Espeei-
ally during the brilliant campaign of
Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley, when
the brilliant successes of gallant Phil. res
tored confidence to the doubling and des-
pairing North, did Colonel Nettleton and
his regiment win honor and distinction.
This recognition of his service is a tardy
one, but we are rejoiced that it is given at
last.

UnfIaIterinS Picture OF the HOuse of
Commons.

From the London Star, April j.
If Demosthenes were alive in our day,
and were afflicted with his early difficult
ties of elocution, he might find a severer
school of practice than on the margin of
the roaring deep. To attempt to address
the House of Commons in favor Of reform,
and in front Of sea of bowling Tories,
would be the best possible test of the
lungs, the articulation and the patience of
raw student of eloquence. It must be
owned that what the Tories lack in argu-
ment they make up in noise The beastly
believing of which OConnell complained
was as uproarious and vehement on Mon
day night as at any time during the pass
ages of arms which took place between
the Irish orator and the statesman whom
he designated Scorpion Stanley. Every
Conservative seemed inclined to do the
lions part according to Bottoms defni-
tion of it-nothing but roaring. The
Tories howled down their opponents when
they could not reply to them. A running
fire of the rudest Interruptions, the coarsest
contradictions, strove perpetually to dis
turb the composure OF every speaker who
took the Ministerial view of the question.
1t is somewhat difficult to understand why
the rules which regulate the intercourse
of gentlemen everywhere should be sus-
pended in favor of gathering Of Tories,
simply because they are seated under the
roof of what is commonly called the the
greatest Legislative assembly in the world.
Certainly that workingman's meeting
would be regarded as grossly and mex
cusably exceptional indeed which toler-
ated one-tenth of the registering, vulgar
and uproarious conduct in which Tory
ism rioted and reveled during the Parlia-
mertary debate of Monday evening.

THEATRICAL SENSATION.
MIR. COuIdOek Can't Stand the Stock
Company of the Quincy Theatre.


[correspOndence Chicago Evening Journal.l
Quincy, ILL, April 27.
Quite sensation was created at the
theatre last evening. Mr.. Couldock, the
actor, astonished large, appreciative and
highly respectable audience, by withdraw
ing near the close of the first act saying
he could not play with such acting as was
in the other parts. 1t was his first appear
ance on the boards here, and will be his
last, for Quincy audience would never
assemble before him, after such shabby
treatment. Mr.. Couldock left the theatre,
and the performance was continued by
another actor singing GWearing of the
Green" Manager Duff announced that
the theatre was indefinitely postponed,
this eFratic action on the part of his stars,
CouldOck and daughter, deranging all his
plans. He has arrested Mr.. Couldock.
MR. coULDocK's DEFENCE.
To the Citizens of Quincy:
Ny object in coming to Quincy, was not
to insult you, but to win your favor; and
that have not had the opportunity to
carry out the attempt, is to me matter of
deep regret. / was here, and am here, to
fulfill my engagement, but the manager
has deceived me by bringing me here
without having a company to fill the parts
in the plays in which I act. On my ar
rival l found to my surprise that the VIII
low Copse, the play in which 1 am best |
known, could not be done for want of peo-
pie. This in itself was depriving me of |
my (perhaps) strongest part.
Then l found novice rehearsing Mr.. |
Chiefly, in the Chimney Corner, and the
prompter rehearsing the first old mans
part This was disheartening, but made
up my mind to do my best to please, de-
spite of obstacles When night came the
novice very naturally became bewildered.
He could not speak his lines l spoke
some for him, and replied to them
myself, but felt 1 could not go through
the play in that way, and brought it to a
close. L was in the same position as the
Richard the Third who could not saw 'Off
with his head" because Catesby did not
come on to tell him that the Duke of Buck
ngham was taken. The manager has de-
,eived me in bringing me here and if
can discover he has any means shall sue
him for damages. He has not only failed
10 fulfill his contract with me, but added
! malicious insult to the matter by having
me arrested on writ of capias, after ten
o'clock last night. He supposed was an
entire stranger, and must go TO jail; but
n Quincy, that city that he wishes to
make you believe would treat with con-
empt friends appeared in moment, and
~ becoming my security, saved me from
prison. have no cause to think i'll of |
quincy. On the contrary, 1 wish to cul-
iyate its favor, and hope to visit it again
