The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1871-07-28

RocHEFoRT's first experience as a
journalist was decidedly disagreeable.
He was employed for few days on the
PreSse. and then discharged by NJ. de
Girardin in a letter recommending him
to choose another profession, as he was
evidently not qualified for journalism.
He next went to the Steele. where Ia
win, the proprietor, told him a place
was open for him but, after Havin had
read the first article Rochefort had
written. he declined TO engage him.
Finally, NJ. de Villlemessant put him at
very small salary, it is said only two
thousand five hundred francs a year.
on the staff of the Figaro more it was
reported, on account of his aristocratic
descent than on that of his literary abili-
ties. He was very slow in writing his
articles, which always needed revision.
and was not promoted in the Figaro
office until he began TO make number
OF covert attacks on the leading person.
ages Of the second empire, which attract.
ed much attention. He then received
a salary of twelve thousand francs
year, until he began issuing the Ian.
ter's. The spiciest articles in that paper
are said to have been written by Fran.
co.'s Victor Hugo.

4 New Electrical Theory.

NJ. Becquerel has just communicated
to the Academy of Science in Paris a
new hypothesis concerning the origin
of atmospheric electricity. In his
opinion, its source resides in the sun,
which, according to the recent discov-
cries Of Mr.. Norman Lockyer, is sur.
rounded by an immense envelope of
hydrogen which, being mixed up with
a considerable proportion Of watery va
por, is therefore positively electrified.
This communicates its fluid to the whole
mass Of ethereal substance which fills
the interplanetary spaces, and thence
to our atmosphere. But as the latter is
a bad conductor, the consequence is,
according to our author, that the upper
strata Of the air must be saturated with
positive electricity. Here, says a
French journal, we pause to ask what
evidence he has, in the first place, of
the existence Of this ethereal substance;
and secondly, of its conductibility NJ.
Becquerel does not think it necessary
to stop at such details, but seeks to es.
tablish his theory by various arguments,
such as, for instance, the fact that IN
vacuo an electrified liquid evaporates
more rapidly than when not in that
state and that an aurora-boreaiis is &C.
companied by noise which he finds to
be exactly the same as that produced by
an electrified spark.

THE following beautiful chemical ex.
periments may easily be performed by
a lady, to the great astonishment of a
circle at her tea party. Take two or
three leaves of red cabbage. cut them
into small bits, put them into basin,
and pour a pint of boiling water on
them; let it stand an hour, then pour
off the liquor into a decanter 1t will
be of fine blue color. Then take four
wine glasses; into one put six drops of
strong vinegar into another six drops
of solution of soda; into third the
same quantity of a strong solution of
alum and let the fourth glass remain
empty. The glasses may be prepared
some time before, and the few drops of
colorless liquids which have been placed
in them will not be noticed. Fill up
the glasses from the decanter, and the
liquid poured into the glass containing
the acid will quickly become beautiful
red that in the glass containing the
soda will be fine green that poured
into the empty one will remain un-
changed. By adding a little vinegar to
the green, it will Immediately change to
red and on adding little of solution
of soda to the red it will assume a fine
green thus showing the action of acids
and alkalies on vegetable blues.

The Reason.

While it is difficult to account for
the persistent forcing Of the San Do
mingo issue upon the country BY
President Grant, involving, - it does,
so much of peril to the harmony OF
the Republican party, and the chanc-
es Of his own denomination, the fol-
lowing, from the San Domingo cor
respondence Of the New York Tri-
bune, will enable the public to ap.
preciate clearly the reasons which in

same end ~ Oh
ssBut if the United States govern
ment determines to buy this repub-
lie you must not be surprised to find
Baez himself pocketing most Of the
purchase ,money. All the Domini-
cans are said to be heavy creditors
to the State. None If them are
paid at present-for tho very good
reason that there is nothing to pay
them with. The soldiers beg in the
streets, even before the headquarters
Of the army; but you may be sure
there are heavy arrears in back pay
charged on every mans account from
the private up 10 the President. If
We vote tl.500,O0 for the purchase
Of Santo Domingo, and let Baez dis
burse it, the first debts to be paid
will be the accumulated salaries of
the oficeholders. That will be q fine
thing for the Presidents family. for
they are all in Office. The Deputy.
Collector and one other officer at the
capital are the Presidents sons. The
Governor Of the city is his brother.
A second brother is q General. A
half-brother is Governor OF Axuo. A
brother.in- law is Secretary of State,
So you see that it is perfectly natural
that President Haez should want Ia
have the handling Of the money in
order to defeat fraudulent claims" !"

For Governor.

The press of the state has been for
some time engaged in announcing pros

the list, others have little chance of
success, aud we think We state the
general impression that the cont est is
now narrowed down to these four
Hon. q. G. Carpenter, OF Fort Dodge,

late Au,iltor Of State. Mr.. Elliots
chances, we think, can scarcely be
considered COED. though on account
Of his administration OF the Auditors
office the Insnranc men seem inclined
TO 90 for him. Col. Scott Vhas 90 re-
Gently come into the field that il is
too early to forecast the effect OF his
candidacy upon the canvass. He
would fiil the Governors char with
grace and ability. Messrs. O'Con-
NOR and Carpenter are both reputed
to be men OF fine crator;cal powers
aud superior ability. COL Carpenter
is urged as the Representative OF the
neglected Sixth District, in which
Col. Scott also resides. We have no
doubt that from the list we shall get
IN excellent Governor. Some ofthose
named We do not know personally,
and our acquaintance is too slight with
any to enable us to make an intclli-
gent choice. We have no fears that
the selection will fall on an unworthy
man.

Elliot has announced his Withdrawal

At the late municipal elections Du-

In Michigan the Republicans elected
the Judge Of the Supreme Court, by
handsome majority. The Demo
Gratis elected their ticket IN st. Louis.
The general result does not corrobo-
rate any of the Democratic prophe.
cies regarding the early dissolution
ofthe Republican party. It is doubt
ful if the party was ever stronger
than it is to day.

A BRAVE OFFIcER.-The following ex-
tract is from the letter of a correspondent,
written in Paris during the SIEGE:
cannot pass over the devoted heroism
of one who possesses the blood of an Irish
man; refer to Monsieur LIE Commandant
Corbet. Arrived at the age of seventy
seven years, he was exempted by the laws
of France from all active service; but this
brave old soldier, finding the enemy ap-
preaching the beautiful city he SO loved, at
once applied to General Trochu for q COM
mand. Knowing the bravery of this lion
hearted Irishman the General at once &C
coded, and confided to him the formation
of two battalions of the National Guards,
consisting of 5000 men each. With the
true zeal of the patriot soldier, Commander
Corbet set to his work of love, and within
a few weeks his two battalions tsixS thous-
and men), consisting of all ranks and
grades, marquises, counts, artists, sculp-
tors, artisans, painters, ETC., were amongst
the best drilled and bravest in our city. 1t
was truly thrilling sight to see this vener-
able old soldier at the head of his battaf-
ions, with his gray locks and fine artillery
mien, putting them through their evolu
tions and showing them show battles may
be won." The decipline and bravery of
his men have been more than once most
favorably noticed by the highest military
authorities, whilst Commandant Corbet
himself has been most highly compliment
ed, and has received from the men under
him the most touching proof of their love
for their brave commander. This is only
another of the many examples of the love
of Ireland's sons for La Belle France. 1t
NAV not be embarrassing to you to know
that Commandaut Corbet's first essay in
soldering was in the great Russian cam
baign of 1912, when he was mere boy of
seventeen years; his brother was also a
brave soldier, and died few years ago a
General of France, and had he been spared
some few months longer, would have re-
ceiyed q marshals baton in recognition of
his great military service to the country OF
his Sdoption. Commandment Corbet is con-
nected with the family of E. o'Callaghan,
j. p, of Limerick. -.
