Strange Freaks of Lightning.

Lightning, like light, furnishes another
wonderful succession Of marvels. How
delicate, how subtle 1t performs its work
sometimes with scarcely touch. 1t is a
most extravagant idea to compare the
causes of thunder and the effects of lightn-
ing to the noise and effects of cannon and
cannon ball we are face to face with an
essentially superior force. 1t mi ght be said
that it constitutes transition between this
one aud better one I; in fact, it is really
subject to transcendental laws which our
weak intelligence cannot grasp.
Bodies have been killed repeatedly by
lightning, and they have not given the
slightest trace of any wound or scar, no
slight touch of burn or a confusion, no
hint of the way by which the bird sprang
from its confinement. Delicate and most
subtle, we have said, has often been its work
Think of it melting bracelet from a
lady's wrist, yet leaving the wrist untouch-
ed /; think of it melting instantly air of
crystal goblets suddenly without breaking
them. Arago tells how the lightning one
day visited the shop of a Suabian cobbler,
did not touch the artizan, but magnetized
all his tools. One can we'll imagine the
immense dismay of the poor fellow his
hammer, pinccrs and awl attracted the
needles, pins, tacks and nails, and caused
them to adhere firmly to the tools The
amazed shoemaker thought that every
thing in the shop was suddenly bedevilled,
or else that he was dreaming.
And there are several well authentica-
ted cases like this, showing that iron can
be rendered magnetic by the electric cur
rent. We read of merchant of Wake
field, who had placed in corner Of his
room a box of knives and forks, and iron
tools, destined to be sent to the colonies !;
in came the lightning, struck open the
box, spread all the articles on the floor,
and it was found, when they were picked
up, that every one had acquired new por-
perties-that they had all been affected
by the subtle touch of the current Some
remained intact, others were melted, but
they had all been rendered more or less
magnetic, so that there was not a single
nail In the box but might have served the
purpose Of mariners compass.

A correspondent ofthe Scientific Amer
icdn gives this advice to horsemen:-
Whenever they notice their horse direct
ing his cars to any point whatever, or
indicating the slightest disposition to be-
come afraid, let them, instead of pulling
the rein to bring the horse towards the
object causing its nervousness, pull it on
the other side. This will instantly divert
the attention of the horse from the object
which is exciting his suspiscons, and in
ninety-nine cases out of hundred the
horse will pay no more attention to the
object, from which he will fly away if
forcibly driven to it by pulling the wrong
rein.

One of the best replies we have noticed
in the canvass is that of the Hon. John
A. Bingham of Ohio, who, while speak
ing at Republican meeting in Bangor,
Me-, was insultcd by Copperhead, who
cried out, allow about Mrs.. Surratt 7"
Mr.. Bingham instantly responded:
''How about her? Go and consult the
records of the court that tried and convic-
ted her. Go and ask Gen. Hancock, who
issued the order for her execution is spite
of writ Of habeas corpus which had been
served upon him; and, if you are still
unsatisfed, so aud ask that apostate Pres
idcnt, Andrew johnson, why he refused
pardon after a petition had been sent
him signed by every member but one of
the court who tried her, and drawn up in
the handwriting of the man you seek TO
insult"

An Irish correspondent, who says he
wants to vote for Gen. Grant, whistles us
to inform him whether Colfax was ever
Know Nothing. We must say the ques-
ton does not appear to be very important.
The Know-Nothings belonged to an era in
our politics which passed away long since;
some of them are now Democrats of high
standing, aud some Republicans; and they
ought not to be held responsible for ideas
which they no longer entertain. But as
TO Mr.. Colfax, it happens that he was
never KnwNothing" at all, but all
through that contest defended the rights
of our natnralized citizens both in his
journal and as an active politician.-N. Y.
