GEN. BEAUREaARD A PRINCE.-The
Paris correspondent Of the New Orleans
Times says in his last letter:
He is still with US, or rather be is in
Paris, having been called thither again, as
I understand it, to reconsider his refosaI of
the offer of the supreme military commend
from the Moldo-W Wallachia Government.
1t is given out thst the French Emperor,
who is all powerful with the Romans, is nv
longer adverse to the Generals acceptance
of the position.
As to the Generals own way of thinking
or intentions concerning the matter-wat
and see Certain it is, the Romans are
most anxious to have him, and in their ca
gerness have made him very tempting offers
the title of Prince, to rank next to the
Hospodar, the sum of 5000, 900 down in
hard cash, princely salary, and the su-
preme, absolute command of all the military
forces and retinue of the ten principalities.
If the General should accept, his late com.
caniops in arms could, and doubtless will,
furnish body Of officers that would prove
invaluable to the Romans in the event OF
war Mighty events are impending all a.
long the Danube.

PHOTOGRAPHIC NoTEs.-An English
writer directs attention to the fact that the
first known photographs were produced BY
lightning, and cites the following ilustra.
tions, derived from late French work:
"In 1859, the lightning having struck
the steeple of the church of St. SauVeur
de Logny, there was found impressed on
the cloth of the altar the text of the con-
secration prayer, contained in an open book
which lay close by.
"In lS47, at Lugano, a woman, who had
been near place struck by lightning, had
impressed on her leg the image of flower
growing close by.
"Iu the Bay of Zante sailor who was
killed by lightning while sleeping on the
side of the ship, had impressed on bis left
breast the number A, which hung engraved
on metal close to the place.
"In 1858, there was observed in the u.
States, on the body of man, the imprint,
of tree shattered by lightning"
The writer contends that it may yet be
possible for art to arrest and fix the fash of
lightning.

thoughts when putting on his last clean
shirt, as he saw no appearance of 'wash-

one morning, and kiudled fire. When
hanging on the kettle, he made noise on
purpose to wake his wife easy. She imme
diately peeped over the blankets, and then
exclaimed

He deliberately responded. I've put on
my last clean shirt, and I'm going to wash
