Remark n bile 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 unvarying 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 Gottliob JuMz
lie is very poor, but well lead and highly in
telligent man. He has an aged mother, an in
valid wife, six children, and 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 n we'll
known doctor said she could not live, and pro-
nounced her disease affection of the heart
Juntz. however, has now proven to him, with
the aid of tho wonderful microscope that he
entirely mistaken; the stomach alone being.
the part affected.

a Pfcture.. Beauty I'm Difficulty.

Living near Warrensburg is farmer not long
from the "Sucker State who has a beautiful
daughter, just on the shady side of "swcct six
teen" The daughter, Miss---,i is domestic in
her turn, and a few mornings ago was engaged
in milking She was seated on u stool, and near
by sat half bushel measure, in 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; the
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 first
thing she knew she was jerked from her seat, at
which the calf became alarmed and with bawl
dashed off, dragging the young lady. Blinded
and frightened out of his wits at the strange
sight he ran over 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 waist and she suddenly found herself sit
ting uninjured upon the elevation, while the
gentleman calf was fast disappearing in the dis
lance with the hoops over his head. He has not
since been seen, and it is matter of surinise in
the neighborhood, as to whether he has gone to
attend a masquerade ball, or the sale Of the Iron

| 4 trader doing business in New York, and on
! his way hither, pretended that mis- carpet bag
containing six thousand dollars had been cut
open in the cars ard the money stolen. He
hurried forward and DANGEROUSLY invoked the
active officers of the police authorities 20 aid him
IN his misfortune His conduct excited suspi-
cion. He had left his carpet bag at Peughxeep-
sic, at hotel, and as assurance of the truthful
ness of lis story. An inspection OF the article
showed that IL had indeed been rihed 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 iAcision large and dis
tinct enough upon the outer covering had not
been made through the lining.
A clerk IN 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. 4
sharp scrutiny made it manifest that the door of
the store had been broken onen 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 TO his
story.
One other case was that of shop-keeper in
our city who likewise was himself the thief, and
asserted that burglars had entered his premises.
He 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
ed the way of the entrance and exit of the
thieves over the fence which they had broken by
their weight. But luckless for him, 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 mute though visible witness
that told his guilt with more emphasis and GER
tainty that could an hundred human witnesses.

Tines.
I'm Monitor Valley, short distance from
Humphreys Station, there is singular boiling
cauldren, now known as Diana's bowl In the
centre OF low round hill, composed Of sedimen-
tary matter, there is a natural bowl about seven
ty feet in depth. At the bottom, there is large
volume of .calding water, constantly in active
ebullition. The water is so remarkably pure
that a stone thrown into it is seen descending
with spiral motion to IA 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 a rope"
