TnE EMPEROR or GErNAST.-It is more than
two centuries since the tile Of Emperor Of
Germany, which King William IS said 20 be
shout 70 receive. ceased TO ne anything more
than an empty name. Cautiously enough, It wss
after the peace Of = estphsis, which gave Al
SAGE to France, that the internal weakness OF
Germany became complete, while the recovery
of that Province promises TO be contemnoraneous
with the restoration Of her ancient supremacy
in Europe. For the benefit of those given 10
the tracing of historical parallels. the additional
f,,t nav be cited of Frederick the Great having
nreyented tie ruler OF Autria, who vas then
t;tnl.r Emperor Of Germany, from asserting MS
1r,neriaI authority over South Germany. only,
a. i would now appear, that his own descendant
might be the real successor to the medIe media, yal "a,
Emperor. Further, the Empire was formally
dissolved in 1906, when the khenish ConiedeIa-
ton was formed under the proSec iorate oi NsPo-
;eon while the restoration OF the Imperial dy-
nasty has followed, as natural result on 'he
ruin OF his latest successor.

A New POWER IN MEcHANIcs.-A couple
of Young machinists have a working model OF
an engine on exhibition in one OF the rooms OF
the bank building on Third-street, which,. if
successful in operation on large, or working
scale, is destined to produce as radical change
in motive power as steam effected ln Its day and
generation. A patent was secured for the
present invention few months ago, but even
Since then certain improvements are claimed
and it is proposed to offer the perfected model
to the inspection of the public in, the course Of
a week at the farthest.
A furnace at one end of heavy iron tube,
which acts as hue, is expanded by the heat
The expansion acts upon lever of heavier
metal than the tube, and as the latter becomes
heated, the lever moves slowly but powerfully
backwards and forwards; and this motion, once
secured, is repeated at will by the application
of cogwheels The supply of heat to the tube
is regulated by side fues which carry oif super
fuous heat, or leaves all the furnace produces for
application to the generating tube, at will OF
the operator.

A "D1ABoL1cAL" INvEST1oN.-The New

A "D1ABoLIcAL" INvENT1oN.-The New
York Times has this paragraph:
"Among our European mail news will be
found statement from French source, charg-
ing Prussia with reviving the use of that most
barbarous of oil known missiles-the explosive
ball. 1t may be remembered that at the con-
vention held last year at St. Petersburg, for the
purpose of taking measures to alleviate the hor-
rors of war, the governments of both France
and Prussia gave their adhesion to resolution
whereby the use of explosive balls was express
" disallowed in warfare. But it appears that
the Grand Duchy of Baden refused to sign this
article of the Convention, and Its soldiers being
now in the field with Prussia, and in possession
of the missiles in question, France has been
compelled to resort in her turn, to their manu-
facture and the ghastly catalogue OF slaughter
is. therefore in tairway to be largely increased
This statement is also repeated by the CORES
pondent of the Independence Beige, and Prussia
certainly owes it to the civilized world to see
that an invention so purely diabolical as the
explosive bali should not, by any fault of hers,
be brought to swell the horrors of war;"
tt appears that the explosive bullet, which
both France and Prussia condemned as opposed
to Christian civilization, and which the New
York Times denounces as the "most barbarous
of all known missiles" was actually used by
the Yankees in their war upon brethren of the
same race and nation few years ago. A writer
in the ST. Louis Republican confirms fact well
known by surviving Confederates who served
with the army in Virginia. He says: AT the
battle of Williamsburg, in the spring OF 1862,
these balls were used with some effect by the
Federal forces. Seven men belonging to the
First, Seventh, Eleventh and Seventeenth vir1
gna Infantry were killed by eeele sSs ,nierIal Strsa
trees ] and saplings, tearing out holes nearly as
large m as, rs a mans fiss, and exploding with a re.
port Dor like that of pistol. They were fired
from riAed muskets Of large calibre, which
our men, for want Of a better name, called
tBelrium muskets.' After the battle of Will
liamsburg, however, these bullets gradually
ceased to be used, more because they were
found to be inexpedient, and not on the score OF
sentiment, as was supposed"

LAST HOURS OF JUDGE LoNGsTREET.-A
correspondent of the st. Louis Adcocate refers
to the last hours of the venerable Judge Long
street-whose death has been recently chroni-
cled in the following language:
For week previous to his decease, he had
been suffering from severe attack of chills,
but after the first two or three days had rallied
SO far as to sit up, to read, and to write. Late
on Wednesday evening, the 9th of July, he
had declared his intention of sitting up through
the whole of the next day; but early in the
morning he was seized by 6 chill which rapidly
developed into Pneumonia, and thcncetorward
he sank rapidly.
His last hours were remarkable, even for
those of q true Christian. 10 within two days
of his death, and while Frustrated by disease,
his aged and trembling hands were eagerly
writing on work of a religious character, to
which the last part of his life had been devo-
ted. An ineffable peace settled around him,
ouieting even the grieved souls about his bed
side. All the numberess moments of his life,
which had been consecrated by his remarkable,
unhesitating trust in God, seemed to gather
from the by-gonc years, drawing around him IN
the irving hour of death to sustain and brighten
him and his When questioned respecting his
spiritual condition, raising his hand, he replied,
