~ A very ingenious piece Of mechanism
for the detection and extraction of bullets in
wounds has been devised by Mr.. Sylvan de
Wilde. The probe, consisting OF two steel
wires insulated from each other, is connected
with an electric horseshoe magnet and a bell,
and when introduced into a wound, it touches
the bullet the circle is completed, and the bell
rings. The forceps act on the same principle,
and are intended. first to detect then to seize
the bullet They have curved points. and not
pallets or spoons. The points of the probe
are kept sheathed on introduction to a wound,
and not uncovered until the supposed bullet Is
felt. This is effected by means of a sliding
tube. Mr.. De Wilde's probe is a sensitive ar.
lifieial finger, which enters deeply into the It's

NEW RAILROAD CARA novel style OF rail
car, carrying its own track, and designed for
use on common roads or the streets OF a city,
was shown at Philadelphia on Monday. In
this vehicle the car moves the wheels instead
OF the wheels moving the car, and the wheels
do not touch the ground at all. There are six
pairs OF wheels, and each pair has a broad fiat
foot attached. These "feet" rest on the ground
and bear up the wheeIs, " whIle two rails under
the body OF the car are made to roll along the
upper surface of the tire as if 1t were passing
over 30 many pullies or friction rollers The
feet and wheels are all connected by an end
less chain, and As fast as the body of the car
passes beyond one of these feet 1t Is lifted from
the ground and made TO travel along to the
front OF the car, where it drops on the road
again, and the whole is thus kept in contin-
uous 10 otion. The wheel truck in fact walks
along the road while the car itself rolls along
over the wheels. The body Of the car is in
form very much the same Irish iaunt.

Speaker Colfax on Impeachment.
The following letter appears in the Chicag
Tribune Of Monday last:

Tribune Of Monday last:
SOUTH BEND. IND, September q.
To the Editor Of the Chicago Tribune:
Your telegraphic correspondent at Wooster
Ohio, condenses my long speech there last
Tuesday into the following half dozen lines
"ln regard to impeachment, Mr 9. said he
longingly counted the days till Congress would
again meet, when Andrew johnson would be
brought before the Senate for impeachment
and in regard TO the threat attributed to the
President that he would prorogue Congress, De
said that Mr.. johnson dare not attempt it, for
we'll he knew the end would be that his feet
would dance upon air; while the law making
power would contin ne to perform it's func-
tions. These sentiments were received with
great applause
That was pretty near what said; but as, at
time like this, men who are in public life
desire to be judged on their exact positions,
that counted tbs days till Congress would
again meet. because in twenty days after that
time Edwin NJ. Stanton would 60 back again
to the War Department., in spite OF the malig-
nant President who sought , expel him from
the position In which he had served the coun-
try SO faithfully; that when Congress res umed
its legislative authority, the House in accord
ance with the demands Of the loyal masses
throughout the land. would be required to
place the President before the tribunal pro-
vided by the Consultation to defend himself
there from the charges Of persistent usurpa.
tions, and persistent violations Of the oath
which requires him to take care that the laws
shall be faithfully executed: and that while |
did not believe Mr.. johnson dared to fulfil
the threats against Congress now being made
by Washington organs, apparently Ia his name
yet whoever did dare to destroy the legislative
department Of the Government by revolution
ary force, whether President. Cabinet minis.
ter, or citizen, would be tried fer his treason,
and punished as a traitor, with his feet, not
like the traitors ofgthe recent rebellion, on the
earth, but In the air.
