individual went up to the bulk window of

Phetovraphing Csnmes Balls.

The London British Journal of Photo
grdphy gives very interesting account
of some experiments in tue photograph
ing of guns while being fired. In the
pictures which We're taken. the moment
had been so exactly seized that the ball
could actually be Seen protruding from
the muzzle Of the gun, while, as We
might say, in the very act of leving.
4 description of the mechanism by
means of which this exactness was Sc
cured will be interesting. Ii will, Of
course, be evident that no person, how
ever delicate his perception, could act
with sufficient quickness to expose the
plate Mt the exact instant desired. Ii
could only be done by means of elec-
tricity. A stereoscopic camera is ar
ranged with disk in front of the lenses,
revolving on its axis. This disk has
two holes in it, either of which can be
made, by its revolution, to correspond
with the line of the lenses. A circular
spring is attached to the disk, that
when set free il will make half revO-
luton with the quickness of Il fash,
thereby bringing one OF the holes in a
line with the lenses and admitting the
light for an instant.
Now for the manner In which the disk
is set free. First, the disk is wound mp
so that the spring referred to is ut it's
utmost tension. It is retained in this
position by means of catch and trig-
ger, which latter is connected with an
electro magnet. The gun is fired by
means Of tube containing gundowder
aud through which runs delicate
platinum wire. When a galyanic shock
is sent through this wire, IL instantly
becomes red hot and melts. Two things
are by this accomplished simultaneous
". First, current of electricity is
Transmitted which viyiiies the electric
magnet and causes il to attract the
trigger, thereby releasing the disk; and
second, the powder is ignited and the
gun discharged. In order that the aper-
ture in the disk should be retained in a
line with the lenses antil the powder is
fairly ignited, a stop holds ii il that
position until the wire inelts. AZ that
instant, the continuity being broken,
the electric magnet ceases 20 act, moth.
ing prevents the continued action OF
the spring, and the disk is carried
around far enough to close the camera.
The manner by which these two move.
ments, SO nearly conseDtaneOus, with
out hpinu eNactly So are thus effected,
is cxquisitely ingenious.

The Head Of q Dend Man Tsies 90
= SPeak. gr ~ =

A poor fellow was guillotined here a
few days after our arrival. According
to the custom his head and body werc
given to the surgeons for the advance
ment of science An experiment was
tried with the head with very inter-
esting result. They injected into its
arteries, fresh ,arterial blood taken from
o dog, and shortly afterwards the head
gave nnmistakables signs of life. The
color returned to the cheeks and lips,
the eyes opened brightly and gazed nr.
on those around, the lips moved rs if
attempting vainly to speak, and the en-
tire face bore the semblance to active
life. So soon as the operator ceased to
inject the life-blood of the dog, the ap-
pearances Of death rapidly succeeded.
1t was earnestly held by the eminent
surgical gentlemen in attendance, that
during the operation the brain was in
full and natural action, and that the
lips tried to utter the last thought
which found resting place in the mind
of the oOndemned.-Pdris Correspond

collector from this district. He visited
all the stores where this article Ia sold,
and seized all that had the brand Of

this proceeding, but as the Richmond
papers have been stating the fact that
Mr.. Smith has accumulated a large for
tune since his incumbency as Inspee' or,
il may very we'll be surmised that he
has been more careful of his own inter

In one store twenty barrels, which had
been left on storage, were seized, and
two more at the Petersburg depot, which
were in trausitu from Richmond. E.a

An Intelligent icorrespohdent of the
New Orleans Crescent writes from Ar
kansas that the planters are hopeful, as
the Arkansas river has not oyerhowed
as much as was feared. He says that
they entertain no fear but that the
water will be gone in time for them to
plant their crops in due season. Should
the sumer be dry like it was last year,
the high water win be an advantage.
while if the summer should prove very
wet, it will be great disadvantage.
Last year by far the best cotton
raised in this region was planted In
May, whereas the usual and proper time
for planting is in April.ss The cotton
that was planted early hit the dry sea-
son, and of course did well before the
August rain begun, while the younger
planting had never ceasedto grow dnr-
ing the entire drought, aud when the
rain came in August this planting was
in proper state tn be greatly benefited
by it, and consequently never stopped
growing until the proper time for it to
do so. Thus, the only successful pro
duction last year was the result Of late
planting, except with these who were
blessed with plenty Of rain during the
summer, which was rarely the case any

Of Ohio county, us well as the en-
tie Stale, were organizing for the
campaign Let it not he supposed that
the offices 70 be- filled are of too trifiing
a character to deserve attention. The
very opposite is true. Experience has
shown us that the township offices are
.of the highest Importance, and should

The Democratic party has been too

The citizens of Farmland, falkland
county, Indiana, have been greatly ex-
cited ofiate, by two incendiary fires in
their village; the first on the 18th
inst, and the second on the 18th. Two
large. buildings were burned and sever
al merchants stores consumed with
them. The stores were first robbed and
then the oil and tar they contained set
on fire. Thekyillains engaged in this
work have been detected, and prove to
be Jack Hester, notorious character,
Joe. McNeese and Dan.. Fletcher, a ne
gro. They were detected under the fol-
lowing circumstances:
While the fire was raging on the night
of the 10th, two Of the thieves, Nc
Neese and the black. boy, Fletcher, came
in full haste to the scene of destruction
from their haunts, and, seemingly, did
all they could to extinguish the fire;
but they were spotted by some OF the
more scrutinizing citizens, and no soon
er had day fairly dawned than the boy,
Fletcher was taken into custody and
charged outright with, if not the crime
itself, knowledge of the perpetrators,
and was told by the persons who had
him in charge that he should not be
hurt if he would make known facts,
and "that lie must do at the peril Of his
life" A stout resistance was made, but
they took and presented to him the ap-
pendage belonging to the gallows. Not
liking the looks Of the limb of some
near tree, and not being we'll prepared
to appear before the la: of Heaven, he
concluded to disgorgs, and in single file
led the infuriated mass up the railroad,
over fences and into woods; first in q
hollow log, then stump, then under
logs, in fence corners, and covered up
with leaves, was secreted all manner of
merchandise usually kept in country
store. The indignation at this was in
tense; come were for hanging, others
for some other summary punishment;
but true to their word-that he should
not be hurt-the less irritated minds
protected him. ,g
After securing the goods and the pris-
oner they then took the boy to a room
and there got q full confession of the
crime, and who were his accOmplices,
duplicating McNeese and Hester. Nc
Neese was arrested then and some Of
their goods found on his person: Hes
ter was arrested at Muncie and brought
mp to Farmland, and after apreliminary
examination, all three wero held to bail
in S, 900 each for their appearance at
the next term of the Circuit Court of
Randolph eounty,.in default Of which
they were taken to Winchester and
placed in Jail.
