DO UBLE CYLINDER

THE advantage of this Fire and Burglar Proof
L Safe consists in its peculiar construction. The
most serious objection Safes heretofore in use has
been their liability to destruction by falling from
heights, and the impossibity of rendering the doors
mperyiOus to heat particularly in large safes where
square safe is door. These and other objections an
picable to the present mode of making Safes are OBJ
Waited by this patent, by constructing it in cyn-
drca shape, with convex tops and bottoms, thus Sc
curing the greatest possible strength and, by max
ing the interior to revOlve upon pivOts, bringing
smooth, impenetrabe surface of iron entirely across
the outer opening, with no inlet or seam.
between this inner compartment and the ter
cylinder, is an air chamber, extending completely
around, leaving no connection between the two
cylinder revolves. These advantages are manifold;
but we call attention to singular feature of the
ventiOn; it is, that the inner safe is movable and
when the outer door is opened the surface of the lat
ter presents an appearance that indicates that the
whole safe is a solid mass. The signal Importance of
ed and made to turn, its door is Immediately exposed
to view, when the compartments for books, drawers
and pigeon holes exposed. The frame which con-
tans them is also movable, and revolves upon piv-
OTIS; that, when pushed around, brings another
ries of divisions for books drawers and pigeon holes
to the hands thus it is double the capacity of square
safes Not only does this system present greater
sisance to fire. but, for the that the sheets
iron cannot part from the filing and of there being
no contact of the inner with the outer surface lex
cept at the pivos, where the filling is made purpose
y thicker but the bullying front Of the interior sur
lace, without orifice when turned, is equally proof
against burglars. i : III :
The contour of this safe is more symmetrical and
durable than the old STYLE is suscepble of higher or
namentatiOn and is from the very nature of the case
easier of transportation, can be rolled about like
barrel or hoop. ~.

HpooARD ANTOINE THoUvENEL, Intelligence
=, WHOSE wy death was received by the Atlantic ca
Die last week, was well known IN this country
from his position as French Minister of For
eign Affairs. during the recent war Of tbe re-
bellions and for the skin with which ba man
aged to aid the cause of the rebels without anv
open infraction of the obligations of neutrality
A contemporary has this sketch of his life:
Thouvenel was born in Verdun November II
1916; was bred to the law; and in 1889, after
returning from q Journey to the East, entered
the French Foreign Office From the year
1870 TO the coup detdt of Louis Napoleon he
heiu various diplomatic appointments in Brus-
sells, Athens and Munich. After NapoleOn's
overturn OF the French legislature Thouvenel
was charged with the political direction of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1855 he was
sent Ambassador to Constantinonle where he
was competitor of Kinglake's hero-dinloma-
tist, Sir Straford Canning From 1870 70 = Sa
he held the portfolio of Foreign Affairs resion-
ing early in 1864 on account of differe5ca
with the Emperor as to the policy to be mr..
sued towards the Papal Government His snc
cessor was NJ Drouyn de Lhuys, who has also
recently resigned because of a disagreement
with Napoleon on questions growing out of the
latter's policy regarding the Pope. The only
work Thouvenel published was collection of
articles originally contributed to the Revue de
Deux Mondes, entitled ia Hongrie ct la Val

EXTRAORDINARY ENGINEERING.-In an alb
stract of the report of Brig. Gen. d. c. Mccall
lum, Military Director and Superintendent of
Railroads in the United States, by appoint
ment of the War Department, we find the fol-
lowing specifications of services rendered by
his construction corps: ~ SAG sifHt
Some of the achievements of Gen. Mccall
lum's department deserve to rank with the
most remarkable engineering fetes of modern
times. The wonderful bl idge over the Chatta-
hoochee, seven hundred and eighty feet long
and ninety-two feet high, was built by the con-
struction corps in four and a half days: the
bridge over the Potomac Creek, at AQUA, four
hundred and fourteen feet long and eighty-two
feet high, was built ready for trains to pass in
forty working hours. In their leisure time this
coxps rebuilt the Chattanooga rolling mills
which turned out in a few months nearly four
Thousand tons of railroad iron for the govern
ment, and were sold at the end of the. war for
hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars
With justifiable pride Gen. McCallum classes
the attempt to supply Sherman's army of a
hundred thousand men and sixty thousand
horses and mules from a base three hundred
miles distant, over a line of a single track, as
one OF the boldest ideas of the war Whole
corps, ana even armies, were frequently trans
ported hundred of miles on the mere verbal
orders OF their commanders. In 1865 the
Fourth Army Corps were transported from
East Tennessee to Nashville distance of three
hundred and sixty miles, without DELAY or diff
ticulty-this herculean task requiring nearly
fifteen hundred cars Nor were the services
thus rendered unattended with danger Guer-
rillas and raiding parties logged the footsteps
OF the construction corps wherever they went
In the first six months of 1866 one wreckine
train picked up and brought into Nashville
sixteen wrec ked locomotives and nearly three
hundred carloads of wheels and bridge iron,
the destructive handiwork of rebel raiders
Hood was thorn in McCallum's side; but the
damage he did was repaired with wonderful
celebrity. In October, 1924, Hood, passing round
Shermans army tore up thirty five miles of
track and burned four hundred and fifty feet of
bridges between Chattanooga and Atlanta.
The damage was made good and the line put
in working order again in thirteen days. be-
tween Tunnel Hill and Resaca twenty five
miles of track and two hundred and thirty
ieet OF bridging were reconstructed in seven

WHITE TENANrRY.-Severa gentle
men of our acquaintance, who leased
lands to tenants from the upper
Counties, have made contracts with
them for another year, says the Selma
Messenger, and are desirous of pro-
curing more labor of the same kind.
On this subject, the editor of the
Livingston Journal, who is an intelli-
gent witness on the value of white
labor, makes the following remarks:
"We infer from the experience of
our planters in making the present
crop, that they would willingly try
the experiment of arhile labor, if an
opportunity were afforded. We are
80 we'll satisfied of the superiority of
that kind of labor over what is now
employed, that it seems useless to
argue it. The difference between in
telligent white labor and that of free
negroes is just the difference be-
tween a rational human being and q
machine-and that machine one that
cannot be controlled ut will. It is
the difference between mind and
matter"

The New FIVE CENT PIECE

The New FIVE CENT PIECE
correspondent of the American jour-

After careful search during the
first half of the present year, i have
at length succeeded, by the help of a
friend, Ill obtaining a proof (?) set of
the one. two, three and five cent pieces
OF 1866; and inasnuch ns the hitter
piece, particularly, is an original, Z"
both in design and workmanship,
perhaps Il description of it may
prove acceptable.
say it is an ''orignal," because
have seen nothing like it in my col
lections, which abounds in all sorts;
chung DOWNS" Chinese cash, Ger
man stivers, hellers and kreutzers;
therefore, I think am correct in the
statement.
On the diverse of this remarkable
coin, the first thing that attracts the
attention IS q very elaborate and
highly ornamented gridiron, the
clumsy handle of which appears to be
broken from the body, thus render
ing this culinary utensil almost use
less. The upper part and sides of
this gridiron are hung with leaves of
some sort. strongly reminding one of
the savory lunches of herbs display ed
IN market house in Autumn, or q
green grocer's sign in buckle berry
time. Perhaps the same accident
that severedt the handle OF the gridiron,
also fractured the lower part, for we
notice that it is there skewered by
two arrows, pointing in opposite
directions. The motto, lin God we
trust" is very opportune. for the
inventor of this coin may rest assured
that the devil will never forgive him
for such an abortion.
