How THE LONDON TINES WENT TO PARIs-The
London Tunes OF Jan. 3lst makes the following
statement: Attempts 20 establish ready communi-
cation between the beleagured inhabitants in Paris
and their relatives and friends beyond the German
lines, have given rise to many contriyances which
are not unlikely to make new era in the history
both of aeronautics and photography. Among them
may be mentioned the ingenious device by which the
matter of two whole pages of the Times has been
transmitted from London to Paris This has been ac-
eomplished by photography. Those pages of the
paper which contained communications to relatives
in Paris were photographed with great care by the
London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company
on pieces of thin and almost transparent paper about
an inch and half in length by an inch in width.
On these impressions there could be seen by the
naked eye only two legibe words, The Times, and
six narrow brown bands representing the six col
umns of printed matter forming page of the news
paper. Under the microscope, however the brown
spaces become legibe, and every line of the news
paper was found to have been distinctly copied and
with the greatest clearness. The photographs were
sent to Bordeaux for transmission thence by carrier
pigeon TO Paris. When received there, they were
magnifed, by aid of the magic lantern to large size
and thrown upon screen. staff of clerks i'm
mediately transcribed the messages and sent them
off to the places indicated by the advertisers The
success of this experiment gives rise to the hope that
the new art of COMPRISING printed matter into
small compass will not stop here. If page OF the
Times can be compressed into a space little larger
than that occupied by postage stamp the matter
Of an octave volume might be made to cover not
more then two Of its own pages, and library could
be reduced to the dimensions of the smallest prayer
book. What relief it would be to the learned per-
sons who frequent the Library the British Muse
nm, if instead OF having to make fatiguing journeys
rom letter to letter OF the ponderOus catalogue
Of books they had its many hundred volumes re-
iueed to space yard square, which micro
scope could be hurriedlY passed. Such suggestions
Ire now occupying the thoughts of photographers.

NEw SWEDISH VERSION OF TIE BIBLE.-Re-
visions of existing versions Of the Scriptures
seem to be the order Of the day. Besides the
enterprise in this direction now going on in Eng
land, we learn by letter from friend in Stock
holm, Sweden, dated February 9, 1871. that a
Royal Bible Commission has been at work for a
long time with the revision of the old Swedish
version of the Bible The Commission have ad-
vanced so far in their work that they expect to
publish it in the Spring to be laid before the
Diet for examination. Boston Trareler.

From Sydney we learn that the Government
have declined to entertain the proposal submit
ted to them by Mr. Moore, the agent of the Queen
Of the Thames, on behalf of the mail service VIA
the Cape. They Informed Mr.. Moore that the
Californian route was more suited to the require
ments Of New South Wales. 1t further appears
that the Sydney Government have had the offer
of weekly service to and from Europe by San
Francisco for subsidy of e45.OOO per annum;
and it is also stated that they are prepaid to pay
half the expenses Of a steamer to run between
Normantown, Queensland and Batavia, to bring
teIegraphic news during the present period of
European complications. The Treasurer in his
budget speech stated that the Government will
consider the opening Of the direct mail service
to California when the present mail contract

The QUESTION OF ANUsENENTs.- The late
George Ticknor, speaking of the influence of the
stage, said that he thought it was more than an
equal rival with the pulpit in its influence upon
the community. That the stage had more positive
power; but whether that power was always in the
hands of those who directed it for the public's
best good, he was somewhat in doubt The iniu-
ence Of fine sentiments, aided by good acting and
music, be thought greater than the attempt at con-
viction by argument through the head. These
sentiments did credit to the head and heart of
the eminent historian, and are the views that are
rapidly becoming adopted. In this connection it
may be well torepeat what one of the more liberal
religious papers says of the blgoted refusal of
Rev. Mr. Sabine to read the burial service over
the veteran Holland, which brought into notice
" the little church around the corner" The paper
says, Amusement is now regarded as necessity
of social existence not an evil not thing to be
discouraged or put under the ban OF religion, but
a thing to be purged from evil, limited in amount
and saved from abuse. Actors, being thus infer
entially necessary class in modern civilization,
despite the recognized peris or temptations of
their business, are entitled to all the ordinary pri-
yileges of citizens and of Christian compassion
and respect, and from the clerical profession es-
pecialy. They are no longer to be pushed aside
as necessarily guilty, useless, immoral class of
persons. They are to be judged each by himself,
on his individual merits, like any other class;
With the decorum and respect due to each and
every necessary trade or occupation"

The SAN FRASo1sco MAIL RoUTE-A special
general meeting of the Sydney Chamber of Com
merce was held at the Exchange on the 9th ult.,
to take into consideration the question of steam
postal communication with Europe via Fiji and
/ San Francisco The Chairman said that the first
matter which the Chamber had to consider, was
the question of steam postal communication with
Europe via FIJI and San Francisco, was one of
pressing importance Unless fresh arrangements
we're made, the steamer which was to leave in
the beginning of April was the last that would
take the mails VIA San Francisco He thought
the public were hardly sufficiently alive to the
importance Of keeping open this route. The
fact that the steamers had to call at New Yea
land had done much, he thought, to lessen the
public interest in the matter. 1t was about Just
as wise to send the steamers to New Zealand as
TO send the p. & o. Co.'S boats there on their
way to Suez. About the same delay would be
occasioned in either case. This arrangement had
done much to prejudice the minds of the people
against the rOute. and the consequence. was, that
on all hands it has been stated, that however
good the route might be for passengers it was
not good one for mails A little examination
would show that the route via Fiji and Honolulu
and San Francisco was the best route that the
colonies on the eastern coast of Australia could
avail themselves Of He took it that the trunk
line would start at FIJI; the other colonies would
then connect themselves with FIJI by subsidiary
lines. He thought the route superior to any
thing that we could have There was another
consideration; 1t was not likely that Great Brit
ain would be involved in a war between the con-
tinent of Europe and America at the same time.
If we had postal communication with Great Brit
ain by the Suez route only, our mails would be
stopped in case Of a war between Great Britain |
and the continent of Europe but that would not
much matter if we had postal communication
with Great Britain by the route now proposed.
letter from Mr.. H. H. Hall was read, in which !
lie stated that he had refused offers of subsidies
rom the New Zealand and Victorian Govern
nents, who wished HIM to make Dunedin or Mel
bourne the terminus. He added that the mer-
haDts of San Francisco did not look with any
rejudice upon the colonial steamers be had been
sing, and they, as well as the authorities, were
Wiling to accord an Australian line their warm
st support. 1t was finally resolved as follows:
That this Chamber is Of opinion that it is highly
esirous for the interests of this colony that 4
1bsidy should be granted for mail service via
iii and Honolulu, and that deputation from
his Chamber wait upon the Premier with the
lew of securing the influence of the Govern
tent in its favor. Sydney Nal, April l.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE,

A Horse Falls "a Hundred and Fifty
Feet from Lookout Mountain, and
Lives.
One Of the most remarkable equine es-
capes we ever heard of, occurred at Look
out Mountain on Monday evening last.
We get the fact from the Chattanooga
Times. Messrs. Crawford i Carroll, Of
Chattanooga, run q line of hacks from the
city to Lookout Mountain. Alter arriving
at the hotel on the Mountain on the eve
ming above mentioned, the horses we're
turned loose, with the harness on, to Craze.
A short time afterwards the driver, going
out to brig in the horses to stable them
for the night, and finding it d fficUlt to
catch one of them, a very fine mare, press
ed her upon the very brink of ths preci-
pise, near by, IN order to hem her, when
the mare, still attempting to escape, made
q very sudden turn, and was precipitated
over a precipice at least a hundred and
fifty feet.
After falling about fifty feet she struck
on solid rock, and bouncing of fell near
a hundred feet, lodging in the top of g
small pine and the harness catching IN the
limbs it bent over and eased hez to the
ground. A gentleman who saw her yes
terday evening says that she-received one
severe cut on her side She was standing
on her feet and appeared to be doing well,
though he thought she would soon die for
want of attention, having received none
since the fall and the flies have already
blown the wound. If it were possible this
animal should have been saved just for the
novelty of the thing if nothing else.

The ringing of The fire bells ct half past
3 o'clock yesterday was caused By the pars
tial burning of the Tribune Office, on South
College street, between Spring and Broad
The fire caught in the lower story on the
south side of the first floor, under case of
job poster type. A quaatity of ink, oils,
rsgs, etc, were in immediate proximity
and ignited like gunpowder. When the
fire department reached the scene the
lower floor was brilliantly illuminated.
The fire burned large h lie in the lower
floor, and the flame darling upward burned
through the e. upper fcor, across which
leads the passage ay to the editorial and
COMPOSING rooms. The William StocRell
engine was quickly on hand, with the Hook
and Ladder Company. The other engines
responded but their services were mot
needed. The flames were soon eXtiDguished
without material damage to the building.
The office lost considerably in the des-
truction of job and poster type, and the
charring of cases. Thsir entire loss is es-
timsted at s 900, which is covered by in-
surance in the Continental and Manhattan
companies As to the origin of the fire
we are not prepared to say. Il was at
tributed by some to spontaneous combus-
ton from heated rags and other material
indicated, though soma Of the gentlemen
connected with the Office are of the opiu-
ion that it was the work of an incendiary.
The promptitude of the fire department
alone prevented theSdesluction of the en-
tire building, as the flames were making
considerable Roadway when discovered.

A Noted Thief Arrested and Goods
Recovered.
Qnite bold and audacious burglary was
committed at Cooks new saloon, 81 Church
street, Just east of the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN Office, at o'clock yesterday morning.
At that hour Jim Roy, noted cracksman
of the colored persuasion, clandestively
ard burglariously entered the saloon by
breaking through the rear windows. Jim
is an evil doer of long experience, and has
been caught in many instances heretofore
in the ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain. As on this occasion he usually
reconuoiters the scenes of his exploits and
makes himself acquainted with the locality
of the yaluables to be obtained before ex-
ercisiDg his ingenuity and audacity. After
effecting his entrance into the
building he sole thereftom three boxes of
cigars, a three gallon demi- ohm filed
with whisky, fine Colts revolver pistol, a
fine broad cloth coat and several boxes of
saldines. On discovering the loss in the
morning, certain circumstances tended to
fasten suspicion on the proper party to
the crime, and the police was put on the
alert. Near o'clock officer Mansti sld az
rested Jim Roy, on Broad street. A search
warrant was at once procured and all The
missing articles were recovered, and be-
ing identified were returned to tbs proper
owner Jim Roy will, no doubt, receive
the punishment dC e his crimes. Officer
Mansfield deserves great credit for his
promptness in making the arrest.
