CURIOUS ELECTRICAL PHENOMENON.

CURIOUS ELECTRICAL PHENOMENON.
10 Inthe palace1of the French Emper-
ora curious electrical phenomenon
occurred not long since. A lady of
very high rank happened one day to
approach a mantel piece, when she
suddenly felt "a singular sensation.
She drew back, as was natural, and
again approached, when she experience
ed a second shock, and sort of prickly
feeling. It could not be an illusion ;;
and she called some ladies of her
suite to tell them of the strange oc-
currence. One of them tried to go up
to the mantel, but as she drew near
a sharp cry escaped, as she felt the
sainea shock and prickly sensation.
The lady then begged her husband to
try. Laughing and incredulous, he
ventured to do SO; and going up to
the mantel-piece, a fine jet of blush
fire was.seeD to pass from the marble
to his clothes. One of the professors
of the College of France was sent for.
M. Jamin, distinguished electrician,
soon arriyed;, and the mantel-piece
received him with showers of crack
ling sparks. He Immediately recog-
nized the action of electricity, and
soon solved the mystery. In front OF
the mantel-piece lay a magnificent
bears skin. which generated electric
,ity whenever any one. walked over it,
and this electricity manifested itself
in sparks and shocks from the marble.

The Captain and Boy Rescued.

The n. Y. Sun has the following
For the past few days a schooner
has been lying off Hogg's Island reef,
frozen in, the captain and crew, con
sisting of two men and a boy, having
been engaged in the vain effort to cut
passage through the ice into the open
sea. Yesterday the people on shore
noticed that everything was still about
the vessel and two or three started
out on the ice to learn the cause. They
managed to get within hailing distance
of the vessel, when the boy family
made known the condition of those on
board The ice was broken into small
cakes between her and the shore, max
ing it difficult for the men to proceed
but after struggle of half an hour or
more, they reached the vessel and were
soon upon her deck. There they found
the two sailors lying dead on the for
ward deck, frozen stiff, and the captain
and boy were nearly frozen and half
starved. Both the captains hands and
feet We're badly frozen, and he was en-
tirely helpless. The bodies were re-
moved ashore, and the helpless surviv-
ors were properly cared for.

ably known throughout the country, there

the twenty years of its existence, this

this reason the most widely known business

the Hon. ALEXANDER MITCHELL, President
of the Milwaukee and st. Paul R. r., and
Representative in Congress of the first dis

their endorsement, but also their active in

the last obstacle of the society's future
way, by ameliorating the state OF its finan-

not but meet with confidence and universal
favor Eighty Thousand Dollars in green

there is one prize of $25, 600, and many
