PHoToGRAPH OF JUDGE DENT BY A
RADICAL.-Judge Louis Dent is man
of more pleasing appearance than Gen.
Dent, as he need to be in order to impress
the people OF Mississippi, as their future
Governor should. He Is lawyer, man
with some humor, with considerable mem
tai activity, though I doubt the originate
ty or breadth. He is small man in stat
ute, less in height than Grant, of slender,
well-knit frame, quick and vivacious in
speech and feature. Judge Dent is the
best specimen of the family / have seen.
He was formerly planter and slavehold-
er in Mississippi, and beinga Union man,
left during the rebellion. He is undoubt-
edly a moderate Republican. Washing

A VERY SINGULAR AccIDENT-TRREE
PERSONS KILLED BY THE FALL OF A
HousE.-The residents in the vicinity OF
Broad and Shipper streets On Thursday
morning were aroused from their sleep by
heavy crash of falling timbers. A small
two-story brick and stone house in the rear
of Shipper and Loil streets lay in ruins.
Dressing himself hastily, man named
John Lutz, living close by, instantly hur-
ried to the house of the Harmony Fire
Engine Company and aroused the members
who were sleeping there. It was subse-
quently aecertained that Gabriel Kidd, an
Irish laborer, with his wife and two chill
dren, the occupants of the house, were
buried in the masses Of brick, stone, and
lumber of the building. After half an hour
of incessant labor the first body was reach
ed. 1t was found to be the husband and
father, Gabriel Kidd, alive, though dan
gerously injured.
A further search exposed the lifeless
body of the son, Thomas Kidd, q lad nineteen
years of age. After another half hour the
bodies of the wife of Mr.. Kidd and his
daughter Margaret, girl of sixteen years,
were dragged out. In both Of the latter
life was also extinct, and, as in the case of
the son, both had died from suffocation. In
the adjacent stable, which was crushed by
the falling house, horse was found lying
dead. A house on the opposite side of the
court WIGS considerably damaged by the
falling rubbish. The door was shattered
and portion Of the front wall was knocked
in. The distressing casualty caused de-
cided commotion in the neighborhood.-

WELDING CoppgR,-According to

WELDING CoPPER.-According to Ger
man writer, copper may be welded perfect
ly by means of powder, consisting either OF
pure salt of phosphorus or of mixture OF
this with boracic acids. The latter is
cheaper, but does not give quite go fluid
Stag as the former. The welding powder is
to be scattered over the copper after being
brought to red heat, and then heated to a
cherry red or to an incipient yellow glow
The combination of the parts, when ham
mered together, is ct least as perfect as that
of iron. The theory of the action consists
in the dssolving away of the thin layer Of
oxide of copper on the surface of the metal
by means Of the welding powder, thus al
lowing the two metals to come directly to-
gether. Care must be taken not to allow
carbon in any form, not even as sparks, to
como in contact with the metal, as it would
produce o very injurious effect upon the
result. For this reason it is best, if posi-
bic, to heat the metal in gas flame rather
than in a forge fire.
