DICKENS WILL.

Mr.. Dickens will stands on differ
ent grounds, and as the worlds Judge
ment has been invoked On its merits,
we must say that is strikes us as being
rather painful document. Thenaturll
reluctance to say this is diminished by
the fact that the will was written to
the world. Mr.. Dickens last charge
to mankind is of the nature of solemn
rcscript, ur6j Ct Orbi, quite rs much as
testamentary document. 1t is piece
justfcdtiUc, which implies that there
is something to justify. 1t is not the
first time that Mr.. Dickens has invited
the whole world to survey his private
and domestic concerns. With the
worst taste, Mr.. Dickens, when in the
vigor of life, affrOnted his wife by ma
king his married life public property /;
and dying, he has repeated the wrong
and otfcnse. Profllse and unctious and
stiltcd in his expressions of gratitude
tO his wifi = sister, liberal in the pro-
visions that he has made for that lady
not forgetful 81 another lady, h. has
reduced his wife's income by one half
after his death. with something of a
Self-laudatory announcement that he
has already been far too generous to
her during his life. He leaves to his
wife as an annuity, the interest of eS,
OO0, coupled with the hoastful remind
or that he has since their separation
allowed her e000 a year. We hardly
called this bravcn or earnest. - Ii
Mr.. Dickens had been annoyed by his
wife's temper, some lingering touch OF
of the human kindness of which we

A Theory Of E.sunlcr.

II. $. Mershon, writing i'm the Scicp-
tifc ADlericdR, says the cause assigned
in the textbooks for the phenomenon
commonly called thunder is neither
satisfactory nor correct. In substance
IL is this The electricity in passing
afromone cloud to another, or TO the
earth, makes vacuum along its course.
and what we call thunder is the result
of the subsequent collision of the divi-
died atmosphere.
this is perhaps true, If we accept il
asaa statement of result, but think it
affords a partial explanation only. My
theory in regard To this phenomenon
is this: The electricity, in passing from
one cloud to another, or to the earth
decomposcs the water i'm the cloud
into its component gases, and the great
heat of the electricity ignites and eX-
plodcs these gases, and reforms them
into water.
IL something like this does not occur
If an explosion does not take place
Il cannot understand why the mere
passage of electricity, either through
the cloud or the opsn air, should not
he quite as noiseless rs the passage OF
any solid body would be throug either
OF both of these media.
The violence of the explosion de-
pends on the volums of electricity set
free and the amount of water decom-
posed, or, if II volume of electricity
pass through II perfectly dry medium,
there could be no decomposition of wa
ayter, and consequently no detonation.
I. Aud may not the fact that we can
ece electricity at all depend upon the
combustion Of gasscs evolved in the
decomposition of water in the atmos-
pherc?

A sTRANuB STORY or THE EMPEROR.
At Longeuvllle the Emperor and
household encamped Sunday night
t14th). Early MOndy morning they
were awakened by cannon shot. Rush
ing out of their encampment. The
escort mounted, and instantly the En-
peror tumbled into his carriage in the
utmost haste
Meanwhile the Prussian roconnois-
sance, which had caused this alarm.
was easily diven back, and tho impe-
rial carriages, surrounded by strong
escort, made their way through Grave
lotte towards Conflaus; thence next
morning from Conflaus to Nerdun.
The escort was without food, except
what they could CLEAN by the way,
from Metz until Nerdun was reached.
Now comes the most curious part OF
the account of this retreat or flight of
the Emperor, which was made through
the very midst Of the prussian army
then lying about Mars In Tour, where
the next battle was to occur. The En-
peror and his escort had no notion
what peril they run until afterwards,
but they had actually passed during
the night through just the edge of tile
Prussian lines Tribune Specioi.

gradually dropped his pistol arm to his

BRISTOL, VIRGINIA 6 TENNESSEE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER

I'll the French were outhnnked and
began to bc threatened, as it appeared
Win an attack on the rear of their ex-
treme> right wing. SO long as the
smoke from the prussian guns lowered
only over their front, the French clung
TO their position. The distance from
headquarters to where the prussian
flank attack stretched forward was
great, and, to add to the difficulty of
clearly seeing the battle, the dark ness
was coming on. / know not how long
the French held out, nor Mt what mo-
n1ent the PruSsian onset became irresis-
tible. What saw was this: The Duffs of
ofsmOke from the French guns mingled
with the flashes, brightning as the
darkness increased, receded gradually.
The pillars of cloud and ilame from
the North as gradually and steadily APP
preached. With that advance the
French fire every moment grew more
slack. IL was not far from o'clock
when the ground was yielded finally
on the North, and the last shots fired
on that terrible evening were heard in
that direction. = 4 4
A NIGHT ATTACK.
To leave the French in their posi-
tions during the night, would have
been TO impcril the plan on which the
Prussian commander had resolved. So
from s, or 81 TO ., the decisive blow
was struck. When the battle of Grave
lotte had actually ended, we knew
that the Prussians held the strong
nights beyond the Bois de VauX,
which command the surrounding
country to the limits of artillery range
from Metz; we knew that two great
Prussian armies lay across the only
road by which Bazaine could march
to Paris for its relief, or for his own
escape; we knew that victory great
er than that of Sunday, and more de-
cisive than the triumph of Tuesday,
had been won. We believed that the
French army, which had fought as
valiantly and us vainly as before, was
now hopelessly shut up in it's fortress.
As L went back to the village of
Gorse to pass the night, / turned at
the last point to look upon the battle
field. 1t was a long earth-bound
cloud, with two vast fires of burning
buildings at either end. The day had
been beautiful so far as Nature was
concerned, and the stars looked down
in splendor upon a work of agony and
death such as no one could ever wish
to see again.

a DISTRESSING AFFAIR." Our COM

with razor. The affair has created
excitement in the neighborhood, where
Mr.. S. is well known and respected 10y

The cause of this melancholy occur
renee is attributed to the pressure Of

he remarked to his family referring
to his embarrassments, that ait would
kill him." and this together with gem
eral i'll health, from which he has been
suffering for long time, led TO the
