A PNEUMATIC TELEGRAPH.-A cor
respondent of the Neu York Post gives
the following account of pneumatic
telegraph:
An instantaneous communication has
lust been established between the
Bourse and the Grand Hotel. AS the
distance between these two institutions
can easily be accomplished in quarter
of an hours walk, it is evident that on
ly business Of the most pressing lmpor-
tance could here demand the interven
tion of the telegraph. 1t is not tele-
graph that has been established, for the
telegraph is already an old story, and it
is necessary to invent something new,
if only to distinguish oneself 1t is an
atmospheric tube and constitutes the
main element of the apparatus of the
i Bourse. The air is compressed by
means of stream of water coming from
the city reservoirs, whose force Of as
cension is for about fifty feet. Three
vats of sheet iron, each of a capacity of
about one hundred gallons, are prepar-
ed for the work of compression the
first is destined to receive the water,
the other two are only to contain the
compressed air. The water, brought
from the reservoirs by subterranean
pipes, is admitted into the first vat by a
stop-cock. AS the water runs into the
vat, the air already contained there is
compressed and driven back into the
two others, passing by tube furnished
with valve to prevent It's return.
When the vat is full the water is drawn
off by opening a second stop-cock, while
valve thrown open at the top permits
fresh air to enter as the water runs Off.
The vat is then filed with water for
second time, and new quantity of air
added to that already compressed,
which arrives thus at pressure of
about two atmospheres. This compress
ed air is then in readiness for use.
The two bureaux lat the Bourse and
Grand HoteI are connected by tube
of cast iron about $500 feet long, and
with an interior diameter of about d
inches. terminating at each extremity
in a chamber, Theoretically closed by a
door that permits ofan introduction and
/ Withdrawal of the carrier piston con
tanning the dispatches. This piston is a
small hollow cylinder, exactly fitting
the tube, closed at one extremity, and
furnished at the other with movable
lid. 1t will contain about forty dispatch
es in envelopes
When dispatch is to be sent, the
corresponding Office is warned by an
electric bell to leave the tube in COM
munieations at that end with the air.
The cylinder containing the dispatches
is placed ia the other end of the tube,
which is closed Theoretically, and then,
by turning a certain crank, placed in
communication with thecomp pressed air.
The piston driven back, chases the air
contained in the tube in front that comes
from the opening at the other end, and
arrives at its destination in from 60 to
80 seconds.
Evidently this apparatus is not in
tended as substitute for telegraphic
communication whose assistance is need
ed for It's own operation.

A NOVEL CAsE-DoG TO BE SOLD
UNDER ExEcUT1oN.-Among the nu-
merous public notices pasted upon the
huge blackboard at the door of the
courthouse is one to the effect that on
the Sd day of April next, the Sergeant
VIII sell to the highest bidder from the
steps OF that temple of justice, black
terrier dog, called Bill, to satify an ex
ecutlon in his hands. "Bill" was levied
upon, we presume, because his owner
had no other property that could be
touched But the question arises is a
dog properly. The Supreme Court Of
Appeals hold that in a criminal asnect
he is not. Lower courts have decided
that in civil aspect he is. At anv
rates the sale of a dog under the above
circumstances is novel and interesting.

The boat was commanded by Captain
Blake, with MIR. Isaacs as first Clerk. She
was running in the st. Louis and Vicks-

Missouri River. She arrived at our wharf
some time yesterday morning, on the down

During the day number Of passengers and

Among the passengers was Col. Gus Henry
and lady, destined for their home in Ark
