AN ENOCH ARDEN CASE.

From the Mitchell, Qnd. } Commercial.
Some years ago, Paris Shirley married
Miss Tate (step-daughter Of Richard Hous-
ton,) near bloomington, this State. Some
time alter the marriage Shirley removed to
Illinois, where, in the course Of time, he
bought drove Of cattle, and after sending
his wife and two or three children back 30
Bloomington TO remain with their friends
until his return, he started with his cattle
10 California. A short distance beyond
Salt Lake City, he was captured by the
Flathesd Indians and his cattle eonfscated.
de remained in captivity some eight or ten
years. During all this time has friends
heard not a word from him, and he was
supposed 10 be dead la the meantime his
wife sought and obtained divorce, and
was married obout year ago, and removed
with her husband 70 Illinois and now
comes the sorrogful part of the story. On
Thursday Of last week Shirley returned to
his fathers John Shirley's) near Bloom
iRgtOn, in bright anticipation Of happy
meeting with his beloved wife and chill
dren, and when told that his wife was
married he wept like child.
We learn that he has written his late
wife a letter, alleging that he has the Oldest
claim, bat the courts can afford no relief.
So closely did the ''red skins" keep Mr..
5, confined that be never heard word OF
the rebellion until he made his escape only
short time ago. He bears upon his per-
500 unmistskable evidence OF hard treat
menL but he considers this small matter
when compared 10 the loss of the mother
of his children.

CHOLERA ROUTES.

The recent conquest of Bokhara by the
Russians has considerable interest to the
medical world. Bokhara il the largest
city in the center of Asia, and is the center
of great caravan trade from India in The
south, Persia in the west, Russia ia the
north, and China in the east. Almost eY-
cry epidemic Of cholera has been brought
Bokhara by way of Cabul and Balk, and
from thence distributed in all directions,
especially TO Russia, by way of Khiva, to
Astracha and Orenburg. The epidemic of
1927 came up from India by way of La
hore, 10 Cabul, and passed through Balk,
Bokhara in 1923, broke out in Khiva early
in 1922 and reached OrenbuTg, in Russis,
in August, 1929, and was thence distri-
buted to the rest of Europe. The cholera
Of 1914 again passed from the northwest
ern provinces Of India by way Of Lahore,
reaching Cabul in June, Balk in August,
and Bokhara in September, Khiva in DC.
tober, and Orenburg and Astracan early in
1915. The epidemic of 1850 reached Eu-
rope by the same route in 1852, and caused
a greater devastation during the following
four years than any former visitation. The
cholera Of 1865 followed the same route
1t remains TO be seen whether the Russians
will be able to establish such sanitary Tegu-
lations as will prevent the approach of
cholera from this direction. There are
three great routes of cholera from India to
Europe l. The route just alluded to. 2.
Up the Persian Gulf TO Persia, Syria, Asia
Minor, Turkey in Asia, to and between the
Caspian aud Black Seas, aud thus to the
rest of Europe. 3. Up the Red Sea to
Mecca Cairo SueZ and AIaXandria 10 the
Mediterranean, and thus over the whole
south of Europe. Much would be gained
in stopping the disease from progressing
along either one of these lines-The Nedi-
cal Gazette, NaO York.

. NEW MOTIVE POWER.

A practical demonstration was lately
given at the College Of the City of New
York of the working and power Of a new
electro magnetic motor or engine, invented
BY Laban Clarke Stuart. The experiments
were made by Prof. r. Ogden Doremus, in
the presence of several scientific gentle
men, whose applause was frequently
evoked. The new invention consists in
the appliance of electricity to magnets, by
which the motion is obtained the mag
nets are fastened to a cylinder, which re-
wolves when the electric wires are attached
to it. With a galvanic battery Of forty
cups, the engine is capable of making FIVE
hundred revolutions minute, equal to
one-tenth of horse power; with larger
magnets, but without any addition being
made to the electric force, increased mo-
mentum is obtained Where twenty cups
are used, as demonstrated yesterday, only
one hundred and twenty oscillations a
minute are given to the cylinder, so that
the greater the amount OF electricity and
the size of the magnets correspOndingly
greater becomes the accelerstiOn. The
cost of running an engine of this sort at
tWO-horse power is estimated at Sl2 day.
lis salient features are claimed to be the
continuity Of the electrical current, and
the consequent continuity and steadiness
Of its movements; its cheapness and small
size; and its saving Of insurance. During
his demonstration, Prof Doremus gave an
illustration of the explosive qualities of
he placed quantity of
the compound liquid in a capsule, and
then impregnated it with galVanic heat,
but until he touched the bottom Of the.
vessel which contained it, it did not burn.

81 RANGE FREAKS OF LIGHTNTNe


Lightning, like light, furnishes smother
wonderful succession of marvels. How
delicate, how subtle Ii performs its work
sometimes with scarcely a touch. 1t is
a most extrayagant idea TO compare the
causes OF thunder and the effects OF light.
ming 10 The noise and effects Of cannon ana
cannon ball We are face to face with an
essentially superior force. It might be
said that 1t constitutes transition between
this world and a better one in fact il ia
really subject to transcendental laws which
our weak Intelligence cannot grasp. . e.
Bodies have been killed repeatedly by
lightning, and they have not given the
slightest trace of any wound OF scar. no
slight touch of a burn or 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 its melting a bracelet
from lady's wrist, yet leaving the wrist
untouched; think of its melting instantlv
a pair OF crystal goblets suddenly, without
breaking them. Arago tells how the light
ming one day visited the shop of Suabiaa
cObbier, did not toch the artisan, but mag
netized all his tools. One can wei.
lmagle the immense dismay Of the poor
fellow; his hammer, pincers and awI
attracted all the needles, pins and tacks
and nails, and caused them to adhere
firmly to the tools. The amazed shoe
maker thought that everything in the shop
was suddenly bedeYiled, or else that he
was dreaming. And there are several we'll
authenticated cases like this, showing that
iron can be rendered magnetic by the
electric current We read Of merchant
of Wakefield, who had placed in a corner
of his room a box of knives and forks and
iron tools, destined to be sent to the col
onies in came the lightning, struckk 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 perties-they had all been affected
by the snbtle 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 q mariners compass Such
anecdotes excite the sense of the marvel
Ous; and in popular science they become
windows through which the young inquirer
is able to look abroad into the astonishing
fields Of nature.-Eclectic and C6ngregd.

All our people who can afford il, except
a few very old inhabitants who live below
Esplande street, use ice every day during
the hot weather The trade has therefore
grown into one Of importance and steadi-
ness. And recently inventive science has
been applied TO for the purpose of supply
ing the demand. The Louisiana Ice Com
pany has been formed, by which blocks of
ice two feet and a half long by about twelve
inches wide and two and half inches
thick, are made from Mississippi water.
Yesterday was appointed for the opening
ceremonies at the factory on Tchoupitoulas
street, and above the stock landing. A
large number Of visitors were present,
sonae Of whom feel a lively interest in the
success Of any enterprise calculated 10 pro-
mote lhe material wealth Of the city. The
Secretary, Superintendent, and Directors
were very polite and patient, but were
really 50 much occupied in attending 10
such Of their guests as manifested an inter
est in seeing the newly made ice melt IN
goblets Of champagne, that we had TO post
Pone critical examination OF the details
Of making it. The blocks appear 10 be
lighter than ice frozen in the old way.
Blocks can be made two and a half feet IN

LADIES, ROOTS.

The Phiiadeiphia Telegraph says: 'a-.
The only real devotion in fashion is tie
startling innovation in boots. Instead Of
the invariable black to which we have been
40 accustomed, mandate as severe as those
before which Media and Persia trembled,
has pronounced, under the terrible pun
ishment of being behind tie time, " that
the ladies must be robed "cap-a-pie" in
the same color, or rather, that the boot
must harmonize in hue with the rest Of the
costume. Thus, if the robe be trimmed
with gold or silver, the boot becomes also
apparently solid casing of these precious
metals. Kid and morocco are manufae-
tured in all the tents that are used in street
suits, from the color Of the sky above the
ladies' heads to the hue Of the dast beneath
their feet The same style Of very high
boot, butloned at the side, with high
heel, is also the exacted costume for the
bali room, and in obedience to the same
rule OF uniformity, are to be had IN bronze,
pink, blue and other high and light colors,
as well as in all the gorgeousness Of silver
and gold. ...... ...

LEBANON, TESSs June is, 1855
GsHfleNeg was pleased to see the
editorial in your paper suggesting that
the delegations from, the Southern States
to the New York ConseRti1n would do
weH perhaps, nos to participate actiOsly
in the selection Of the Presidential cam
didate Of the Democratic party !
Abstractly it would be highly proper
for them to participate actively in that
convention but of ali things on this
earth, politics can be dealt with abb
stractly with the least propriety,
The politician must not expect TO secure
the highest public good, bat only the
highest attainable public good and it is
the latter we can only hope to achieve in
the coming Presidential contest
We, who participated in the late war
against the Union and who did not for
sake the cause when "the winds whistled
and the tempest roared, cannot, and
ought not to expect to shape the policy
Of the Democratic party, or to exert any
controlling influence in the nomination
Of the Presidential candidate of that
party ga.H u.s.. .
Observation-Disclosures comes tOus atall,
it must come from the Northern Democ-
racyi and we can do little, if anything,
10 aid them in the great struggle for COM
stitutional freedom We should, there
fore, in my humble opinion, bow with
marked Difference to the wishes and pre-
ferences Of our Northern political friends
and least Of all, should we say or do any
thing that would embarrass them in their
efforts to get possession of the govern
ment
] fear that some Of our oVer-zealous
friends win damage our political pros
poets by discussing and alludins to
questions that are now and must forever
remain the merCst political distractions
| believe it was the British Minister
Walpole, who once said that he was
often damaged more by his eyorazealous
political friends than by has avOwed po-
litical enemies Let us be careful not to
embarrass the Northern Democracy by
our over anxiety to be useful and
especially so, since in this contest we are
politically speaking mellins .tflie-sons
Of nobody. / am for the man in this
contest whom the Northern Democracy
aud such allies as can and viii harmonic
onsly cooperate with them, think they
can elect, and | am perfectfully willing
to conGde to them the selections of that
man without asking any questions, or
expressing any preferences. i think
that such is due them under the present
circumstance, as upon them unquestion-
ably deyelyes the winning Of the Eight,
II it is TO be won at all
liam induced to write yon this, and the
only letter have written about politics
since the close of the war, because ! be-
lieve it expresses the matured convic
tious Of a large majority Of the Conserva-
tives and Democrats Of this section Of
country, and to indOrse similar senti-
ments expressed in your excellent paper.
