Venice. The stranger. whose name vas

Il REMARKABLE IFLECRAFHIC DISCOVERY
For months past we have longed to lay
before the public the fact that most won
deriui discovery had been made ia the art Of
tels graz ,hiug, by two of our fellow citizens
George NJ. Dugan and Booker FERN. aud
Colonel Coleman of Memphis and shall DOW
proceed to record what we have seen in op-
Grafton at the telegraph Office in this place
for weeks past. Tie discovery made does
away with a.! the jars and fluids heretofore
used in telegraph Offices, and a current Of
electricity sufficiently strong for all purposes
is drawn from mother earth by means Of one
sheet Of copper and one sheet Of zinc, which
are buried to the depth Of two feet. and hav
ING about four inches Of earth between them.
To these plates wires are attached. and the
current thus procured seems iuexhaustIbie
Tie operators at the telegraph Office here
long since dispensed with fluids of all kinds
aud every message sent from Bolivar now is
recorded by an instrument which receives
It's power from buried battery, and which
consists Of nothing but one sheet Of copper
and one Of zinc. The inventors have applied
f,T patent and it is Loped that their prayer
will be speedily answered, as this discovery
of theirs is destined to work a most Won
darful change in tie art Of telegraphing =
uereatter we shall eudeavor t. give full
ana r"nlete account of this truly great dis
| coVery. This invention will save thousands
Gf dollars to the tele5rarh- companies and
is destined to become universally adopted ON
account Of its cheapncs5 and durability

4 REMARKABLE CUCUMsTAN NCE.-Our
readers will remember that some six
weeks or two months ago we gave the
particulars Of a terrible tornado that passed
over the farm Of MIR. Alexander H,nry-
about fifteen miles east of this-kiiling
himself, a daughter and son, demolishing
houses, waiting buggies, as well as heav-
Ter articles, miles away. Another me-
mento Of the tornado has recently come
to light. IL Mr. Henry's house was a
family bible. a few days since, as Mir
Richards, living within a few miles of
Fayette Court House, Alamba, was
walking through his cornfeld, he discov-
cred some leaves of a book On examin-
ny them they proved to be "tEe family
record Of the Henry family, and between
them was found deed for tract of
land, which, of course, had been placed
there previous 20 the tornado. The deed
has been brought to this city and placed
IN proper hands. Mr.. Richards place
is nearly thirty miles from the Henry
farm. Evidently the bible was blown to
pieces by the fierceness of the wind, and
no trace of it, except this above referred
10, has been found. Columbus Sentinel

CURIOUS EXPERIMENT.-Take a piece cf
pasteboard, alb, ut five inches square, roll it
into tube, with one end just large enough
to fit around the eye, and the other end ratLer
smaller. Hold the tube between the thumb
and finger OF the right hand, (do not grasp
1t with the whole hand) put the large end
close against the right eye. and with the left
hand hold a book against the side of the tube.
Be sure and keep both eyes open, and there
will appear to be hole through the book.
The right eye sees through the tube, and the
LETT sees the book, and the two are SO con-
founded together they cannot be separated.

an original expression Of heavy grief we
doubt If anything more touching has been

into the room Of relative, aud without the
usual salutations, said
"Well, Johns dead!''
Dead is it possible 90
Yes, dead-died last night I want you
all To comejto the funeral The Masons aud
Odd Fellows are going to turn out, and We

Deaths being of rare occurrence in the
settlement, Of course every body went to the
funeral. Next day somebody remarked 10

The New Mining District.

Spokane BRiDGE, Sept 26, 1868.
EDITOR STATEsMAS:-Mr. Geo. Dacres, who
has just returned from Kootenai to the Semi,
aquiteen, writes to me the following, relative to
the new diggings, lately discovered on the St.
Mary's River, which, from what can learn, is
distant some 25 miles from Kootenai There
was quite excitement in that camp about new
diggings, that had been struck lately, on the st.
Mary's River, a stream that puts in up at the
head of the Kpotenai. The miners of Wild Horse
htted out, some time since, three men, for
prospecting tour their names, the discoverers,
are Dan. Kennedy, Little Sullivan, and half,
breed named Frank. They panned out in four
days, S225 They represent the diggings far
better than ever Kootenai was. This sounds
most too good.) Mr.. Phillips, Hudson Bay tra-
der, had four ounces of the dust it resembles
the KOOteuai gold. There was a great rush
thither from Kootenai, and the miners are big
with expectancy" Eureka is the word now,
Well, it is to be hoped that something valuable
has turned up at last, There are many miners
returning from the Blackfoot country, some of
whom, am sorry to say, have but little laid up
too, have nary red." But such is the fate of
many who follow mining as a profession The
bumpN hope is so fully developed in some that
they spend years in prospecting merely, aud dis
appointment cannot check their eudeavors. I
learn too, from the same source, that a small
party have received encouraging prospects on
the divide, between the Kootenai and Pen d.
0reille rivers, but in the Kootenai slope. These
prospects were obtained in north east direction
from the Calls Spells think it is the party of
whom spoke in a former letter. They sent out
to get some provisions, and attempted to cross
the mountains on their return, but were unsuc>
cessful. They had to retrace their steps a con-
siderable distance on the Kootenai trail. l un-
derstaDd contract has been let to cut aud clear
out the timber from the trail leading from the
Cabinet Landing to Thompson River The
storms last winter and spring filled it up so much
that it was difficult for loaded trains 10 pass
over it. The steamer Mary Moody is still run,

laying her up, but it has been decided TO keen
her running until the business season closes.

REGISTRATION IN Missouri We have
already referred to the effort being made in
Missouri to disfranchise all those who are
opposed to granting radicalism a new lease
of power. To show how far the radicals
dare go, we give the following synopsis of
instructions from the Superintendent of
Registration of Missouri, to the separate
Superintendents in their respective localities
"The instructions to superiptendents of
registration provide that the oath of loyolty
shall not be administered to those who sym-
pathized with the south in the late rebel
lion proceeding calculated to perpetuate
rebellion and make new rebels.
They stipulate that persons whose asso,
ciatious or personal feelings, in the remotest
degree, or in the most abstract manner, twere
understood to be- with the rebellion, shall be
regarded as disloyal and debarred from the
privilege Of taking the OATH
They provide that young men who have
become of age since the registration of 1866,
aud who are suspected of having entertained
diSlOyal sentiments at any time, cannot nor
will not, be registered as qualified voters
They provide that any man guilty of the
acts specified by the new radical constitution
and registry laws of Missouri shall not be
allowed to register; and every man who
presents himself must prove that he has not
been so guilty.
They require from all men who present
themselves for registration full evidence that
they have not only been uncompromising, un-
conditional union men from the inception Of
the rebellion to its close, but that they have
Since the suppression of the rebellion, de<
meaned themselves as active haters and op>
ponents of the rebel cause, and have not
been united and affiliated politically with
rebels, secessionsts, and southern sympalhi-
zers since the putting down of the rebellion.
They assert that taking an oath never to
have been guilty of acts against the coustitu-
ton of Missouri shall not be conclusive evil
deuce of loyalty but that proof of the stipu-
lation given above must be adduced.
They provide that "a general reputation
for disloyalty' shall be sufficient for the board
Of registration to reject.
They provide that naturalized citizens
who cannot present naturalization papers
mustbring evidence as above.
They declare that the 'so>called amnesty
proclamation shall be dsregarded.
They declare that "a doubt, suspicion, or
belief that man is a southern sympatizer,
shall be sufficient to refuse him the right of
registration unless he can prove to the con-
trary'
