DURING a recent balloon ascension at
Memphis some interesting phenomena
! were noted. The highest altitude at
| tanned was 16,670 feet, at which elevation
the temperature was so degrees Fab. The
balloon in ascending always assumed
whirling motion from right to left, while
descending it turned from left to right.
Four good English lever watches were
taken up, two of which stopped at the
height of two miles. A very delicate pocket
compass was completely depolarized, and
though it has since been gradually regain
ing its polarity, it is still worthless. The
aeronaut was confirmed dyspeptic before
he began ballooning, but several voyages
have effected a radical cure.
A HORRIBLE report comes from Ger
many of so-called scientific experiment.
A Berlin physician experimented on q
young woman who was supposed 10 pe
dying of consumption, and actually sub
jected the wretched. helpless creature toa
hideous experiment which must have in
f1icted terrible torture on her at the very
time when she needed tenderness and
sympathy to lessen the natural agonles OF
approaching dissolution. She died an hour
qfterDard,' and the surgeon then was able
to satisfy himself by ap0st-nao1tena examl-
nation of the effect he had'produced and
the case is reported as a matter OF sclen-
titic interest in the Prussian medical jour-

A MAN has appeared in country. district
of Poland who pretends to be Our SAVIOR,
come again for the salvation of the world.
He has selected twelve followers, who go
about the. country with him as apostles,
and he pretends, in the usual manner OF
such people, to work miracles. He devotes
himself particularly to the healing OF the
sicks All this has had great effect upon
the Polish, peasantry; the Woguld-pe
prophet and his followers have been every
where received by them with open arms
He is now turning his suceessinto political
capital. He denounces the peasantry 1or
their indifference to the rising OF 1868, calls
upon themto repent and prepare for new
efforts, and prophecies the speedy re-
establishment of the old Polish Kingdom.
