Remarkable Invention.

1t is stated that German glass-maker has
lately made remarkable discovery. He has
invented telescope, or magnifying glass, by
means of which the most intrinsic nerves and
vessels inside of the body may be seen from the
outside. In fact, the whole arrangement and
action of the interior organs may, by means of
this glass, be distinguished.
The discovery will probably be of immense
benefit to mankind, as by means of it, physicians
will be able to determine with unvaryng accu-
raey the nature of any particular disease, and
the proper manner for treating the same. The
name OF the inventor, who will probably realize
fortune from his discovery, is Gottiob Juntz.
He is very poor, but well lead and highly in
telligent man. He has an aged mother, an in
valid wife, six children, and a blind sister, de-
pendent upon him for support. His mother was
well acquainted with the poet Goethe, and it
was probably her many anecdotes of this illus
trious person which first inspired her son with a
desire to do something to win the respect and
esteem of his fellow men.
BY means of this invention, he has already
nearly cured his wife. Six months ago II we'll
known doctor said she could not live, and pro-
nounced her disease an affection of the heart
Juntz, however, has now proven to him. with
the aid of the wonderful microscope, that lie
was entirely mistaken the stomach alone being
the part affected. ~ -

Army Wounds.

1t is q commentary on the truthfulness of the
accounts of cavalry bayonet charges with which
narratives OF the so full, that the slirsi-
cal reports show only lO5 sabre and i3 bayonet
wounds TO have been received e. and onc-third of
these had been given by sentnels or patrols
Even Sherdans famous campaign in the Shen-
andoah Valley produced only twenty-five sabre
wounds, and the battle of esboroush, Georgia,
resulted IN but thirty bayonet wounds. The
truth IS, there We're no such charges of the bayo-
nets during the war as was commonly thought
even when any were made, one side or the other
gave way rather than be run through. The same
record shows some striking cases of the tenacity
of life. One soldier was stuck in the heart bv a
three ounce grape-shot; the bones and ntegu-
mcnts were so shattered and torn away that the
arch OF the aorta, close to the heart was visible
through the wound, and its pul,ations could DO
counted. After time he recovered. A
number OF cases arc reported of men who recov-
cred after they had been shot through the lungs,
and several who survived injuries of the abdom-
inal viscera. n man was shot through the brain.
The ball, entering the right side of the head,
came out little to the left Of the crown, leaving
bridge of bone between three and four inches
wide. The man recovered, and showed no evil
dence OF the impairment OF cerebral faculties

A Picture..sseauty I'm difficulty.

Living near Warrcnsburg is farmer, not long
from the "Sucker State. who has u beautiful
daughter just on the shady side of "swect six
teen" The daughter, Miss---,i is domestic in
her turn, and a few mornings ago was engaged
in milking. She was seated on II stool, and near
by sat half bushel measure i'll the bottom of
which was a handful of salt. In sitting down it
SO happened that the hoops of Miss, extend
ed over the top of the half bushel measure tho
calf Of the COW she was milking, strong fat
yearling with horns an inch or more long, discov-
| cred the salt in the measure and commenced lick
ing it, in which operation his horns became en-
tangled in the hoops of Miss, and the frs.
thing she knew she was erked from her seat, at
which the calf became alarmed, and with a bawl
dashed off, dragging the young lady. Blinded
and frightened out of his wits at the strange
sight, he ran straw rick some ten feet in
height, which by chance stood in his way. Fort
unately, just as he reached the top Of the straw
pile, the fastening gave away around the young
lady's waist, and she suddenly found herself sit
ting uniniurcd upon the elevation, while the
gentleman calf was fast disappearing in the dis
tance with the hoops over his head. He has not
since been seen, and it is matter OF surmise in
the neighborhood, as to whether he has gone to
attend masquerade ball, or tho sale Of the Iron
Mountain railroad.- |EWrGHSJHry, No., Stna-

CnrbOMic Acid Gas in Wells.

MEssRc EDITORS: To relieve wells or other
vertical excavations of damp, or carbonic acid
gas, or the smoke of gunpowder in blasting,
make hoop of any flexible material of sufficient
weight "a grape vine answers we'll, nearly the
size OF the excavation. With coarse blanket
or any other strong cloth make a bag five or six
feet long; sew the hoop in the open end, so as
to keep the bag distendod Tie a rope across the
hoop, and attach to the center of it a long rope,
which will reach to the bottom of the well.
Hold the bag so that the distended or open end
will descend first. Let it drop, and it immo-
diately becomes inflated with air, which is car
ried to the bottom and dispaces the impure air.
a few repetitions of the fall of the bag render
the air at the bottom entirely pure.

mice when they eat Isancsen's ''Suro Pop" and
they arc sure to eat it. 1t is great invention,
and will keep in tin boxes for 100 years. The
rats do not Gle on the premises but emigratc, and
as the Professor has men cleaning out that great
rat hole Chicago, we may in measure, be able
to account for large stock of these mischeiv-
lous animals. Now let's go to work and send

A trader doing business in New York, and on
| his way hither, pretended that his carpet bag
containing six thousand dollars had been cut
open in the cars. ard the money stolen. He
hurried forward and GENEROUSLY invoked the
active officers of the police authorties 20 aid him
in his misfortune His conduct excited suspi-
cion. He had left his carpet bag at Peughkeep-
sic, at hotel, and as assurance of the truthful
ness of his story. An inspection OF the article
showed that IL had indeed been riflcd of It's con-
tents ii it ever possessed any, but that they
could never have been distracted by the knife or
scissors of thief, for the incison large and dis
tiuct enough upon the outer covering had not
been made through the lining.
a clerk III a store III Washington avenue a few
years since robbed his employer, and to avert
suspicion asserted that burglary was commit
ted, and that he, who slept there, had been muir
derously assaulted. To give confirmation to his
story, he showed plainly enough two of his
teeth had been by violence knocked out. \
sharp scrutiny made it manifest that the door of
the store had been broken open from within, and
thereupon the knavish clerk confessed that he
was the thief and pretended burglar, and that he
had broken out his teeth to give color 20 his
story.
One other ease was that of shop-keeper in
our city who likewise was himself the thief, and
asserted that burglars had entered his premises.
lie had adroitly made the evidence OF the break
ing of his door so that the keenest inspection of
sagacious officer, melted by the scent OF suspi
cion. could not discover any traces of his COM
plicity with the act. The shop keeper also point
cd the way of the entrance and exit of the
thieves over the fence which they had broken by
their weight. But luckless for him, IL slight
snow had fallen that night, and after he had
done his job. The absence of any traces of foot
steps in his yard and among that slight cover
ing of Snow, was a mute though visible witness
that told his guilt with more emphasis and GER

a BOILING LAKE.-We clip the following
from the San Francisco letter of the New York
Tines: E
I'm Monitor Valley a short distance from
Humphreys Station, there is singular boiling
cauldron, now known as Diana's bowl. In the
centre of low round hill, composed of sedimen-
tary matter, there is n natural bowl about seven
ty feet in depth. At the bottom, there is large
volume of scalding water, constantly in active
ebullition. The water is so remarkably pure
that a stone thrown into it is seen descending
with spiral motion to u great depth, being
gradually drawn toward the point where the
spring seems to be sent from the rocks beneath
The most singular feature about this hot spring
is that it does not appear to have any outlet,
and yet its level does not seem to vary. The
surface of the water is some twenty feet lower
than the rim of the bowl and can be reached
only by the aid of rope"
