has ordered Gen. GRoRsBEcK to make every effort
to find employment for the freedmen who we're
discharged for voting the Republican ticket, and
compel an immediate settlement with their former
employers. The U. s. troops sent to Franklin and

said he was widower, doctor from Palmyra,
Mo-, and proposed marriage on the spot; she

Another advance, observes the London Grocer,
has been made in the utilization OF ozone, de-
monstrated by the s'ozone generator" exhibited at
the conversations given by the President Of the
Royal Society. 1t consists of number Of fiat
sheets Of glass, coated with tnfoil, and piled one
on the other, but slightly separated. Each plate
represents Leyden jar, and when the whole num-
ber are electrified, stream of air forced through
from one end to the other becomes so strongly
ozonized that breathing is painful and dangerous.
The stream Of ozonized air thus produced can be
used for bleaching and other chemical purposes;
and this is the form Of it that is already turned to
account in the decolorizng Of sugar at one Of the
refneries in the east Of London.
