M1DDLEBURY, VT. OCTOBER ls. 1870

Statesmen tell us, that from this war
dates the end Of standing armies, and the
reliance on the armed people.
The Jesuits tell us, that in the issue OF
this war, the intallible pope totters on his
Roman throne.
The people of France tell us, that in its
issue they gain once more the direction
Of their own government.
IF all this be true, if for the next fifty
years there is peace for Europe and such
as followed Waterloo,-but peace not adj
justed by a holy alliance of tyrants, bni
adjusted as the assertion of the Rights OF
Man,-then the war also belongs in the
Record of the worlds progress.-From

A letter dated at Hammerfest, Nor.

Erangelia of last week The writer
is Rev. Dr. Daniel March, says:
1T is midnight by my watch, mid
night by the watches of my travelling
companions, midnight by the ships chro.

time on our voyage, and yet the sun is
shining directly in the north, full orbed

tween two walls of dark mountains and
calm bright sea, and in the utmost limit
of the view is the great orb of day pour

and impertinent curiosity into the secret
place of the King of Light, and that he
might punish the intrusion by shifting
me with blindness. Never could this
strange sight of the midnight sun be
seen to greater advantages. The ship
entered this beautiful Fiord just in time
to give US the best possible position for
beholding the two things, which once
seen are never to be forgotten-the sun
at midnight, and the sun directly in the
north.

at Washington, in April, was one by DR.
Woodward, of the Army Medical Muse.
um, in regard to the use Of the electric
light in photography. Occupied for many
years in the preparation Of Photographic
negatives Of microscopic objects, the au
thor experienced great Inconvenience
from tho difficulty of working at time,
when the sun did not shine sufficiently
for his purposes; and, after trying vari
GUS kinds of artificial illumination. h,
finally came to the conclusion that tn,
electric light, under some circumstances
was to be preferred even to the sun it
self, since photographs could be taken a
any time Of day or night. and after ;
much shorter exposure than to the sun
light. The magnesium light was found t,
have some advantages, especially whel
the object was not to be magnfed NOR
than one thousand times; but for averag
work, especially under very high powers
the electric light was found to surpass al
its rivals.
The apparatus used was Duboscq'
lamp, kept going by battery of fift
small Groves elements Seven and
half pounds Of strong commercial nitri
acid, with three of snlphuric, dilute
with ten times the quantity Of water
were sufficient to charge the battery an
keep up a continuous light for three O
four hours, during which time from |
to 80 or more photographs could be pre-
duced, the number varying with the chal
acter Of the subject and the amount {
preparation required DR.. Woodwar
states that for negative of one thousan
diameters, about thirty seconds are sufi
cient for some objects, while for othe
about three minutes were required. Tn
light was found to be perfectly adapte
for producing photographs of the soft ii
