THE WELL OF GRENELLE.

Five years after the revolution Of July,
| (lSS0,) Arago proved that the subsoil of
Paris was so formed as to collect the sub
terTanean waters which were gathered here
from all the surrounding country, and that
nature herself seemed to have adopted the
system of Capitalization for the waves also,
which travel through the interior of the
earth, induced the municipal council to pro-
vide for the welfare of the metropolis by
having certain wells sunk. Sheets of sub
terranean water existed beneath the level of
the brilliant capital-sO Arago and other
geologist maintained firmly. But at what
depth was the water to be found?
Onthe 18th of November, 1888, the ma
chinery which was to achieve one of the
noblest works of excavation which have
ever perhaps been executed was erected at
Grenelle. The auger was first set in mo-
ton by a crane worked by several men, but
these were soon replaced by horses, and the
direction of the work was confined 10 NJ.
MuIot, who displayed through the whole
undertaking the most admiral perseverance.
What notifications, what cruel disappoint-
ments he had to endure! But he had faith
in his scheme, and, certain of ultimate sue
cess, he was able, without presumption, to
count on victory.
They had reached depth of 1,74O feet,
when, on the 25tb of February, 184l, the
bOrer brought up green sand very wet and
clayey, which somewhat revived their hopes.
Consequently, at the early hour of six the
next morning, masters and men were
promptly at their post.
The following day the borer went down
easily to the length of eighteen inches. 1t
was a good omen. Suddenly the horses
which were used in the work experienced
violent shock which shook the whole ma
chinery, and then they turned the crane
without making an effort. The director of
the work cried out. "The augur is broken,
and we have reached water!" Presently a
sharp whiStling sound was heard, and the
water gushed up forcibly high above the
spring work. ,.--..
Some hours later, Arago, who was at
tending sitting Of the chambers, received
the following note:

WEAK EYES.

Avoid using them when the use begins to
give pain; let them have rest. Battle weak
eyes in tepid water. Don't use weak eyes
by any artificial light. If the eyes are mat
ted together after sleeping, the most in
stantaneous and agreeable solvent in nature
is the application of saliva with the finger,
before opening the eye. Never pick it of
with the finger nail, but wash it off with
the ball of the fingers in the quite warm
water,

new TO IMPROVE NEGRO La OR

To the Editors OF the Union and American:
VERNON, Tenn, Feb. Is, 1S72.-I noticed
In your issue of the LIST, lengthy article on
''How TO Improve Negro Labor" all of
which / fully endorse. Now, in demon
stration Of what you say, here in Hickman
county, we have now less than half the
number Of negro laborers we had prior to
the war, and what remains are annually
growing less profitable. So glaring have these
facts become, that one is naturally
led to the inquiries: What has be-
come Of them; why have they gone at all.
We have a country along Duck river aud
its larger tributaries that produces as much
grain per acre as any county in Tennessee.
While our uplands and the valleys on the
smaller streams are unsurpassed by any
country in the production of pea nuts, a
product that equal or surpasses the cotton
crop Of the coast States for annual cash re-
turns, often rewarding the laborer with
from sixty to one hundred dollars per acre
aud a crop too that requires much
manual and less skilled labOr-cer-
tainly the very thing for the negro, or at
least better than the stock, or any other
farming business in Tennessee. Well,
where have they gone? We look around,
and those that were Discontinued and left
their old boTnes Immediately after the war
gradually moved on towards some
railroad; most of these from this
part of the county in the direction of
els Nashville and Northwestern Rail
ID. Year after year they moved until last
~. Of they had approaced some point
n o Ia Na6. This is the last we hear of
thar, wv, <heT they are employed by
Sa,,tio-1 ,ior+. - and carried directly TO the
80, ,-a,'';,'. Nt6s, or whether they
9sd Tm EtV %em8 their <y there, we are un-
able TO say, but certain it a. ,,i U.s. ~
rs. Now for the reason. la f' H. =
il attributable to the nature On ~
their perfect adaptation to the elm, ~ 'Iitu
business of cotton growing, but since Va
ticing the article mentioned and seeing thu
want of many of the encouragements you
mention, ans persuaded all
should unite in adopting your sug-
gestions and giving your system
q fair trial. We all feel sure Of the fact
tat we will have to adopt some measures
10 stop this flow of emigration, or to induce
Immigration of another class Of laborers.
Which can he done with the least expense
and to the most profit? That our present
and past system is a failure, will be clearly
seen in the axiom, that a system OF labor
or anything else that will not retain thing
already in our possession is not likely to re
gain it, eRee lost. w. J. BURCHABD'

Boil the fruit until perfectly seft; beat the
whites of four eggs with pounded sugar till
smooth like icing; season the fruit with
spices and sugar; put in 6 baking dish.
Spread the eggs smoothly over it, and bake
till light brown. Green apples prepared
in this way are still nicer.
Lemon Jelly.
To make two quartz of jelly, take pack
age, which is two ounces, of gelatine, one
and half pounds of sugar, the juice of five
lemons, some orange peal or stick of Gin
namon, or other flavoring if you wish it,
and soak altogether for an hour IN a pint
Of water; add to this, after the gelatine is
thoroughly soaked, three pints of boiling
water, and stir it until it is all dissolved,
and then strain it through a fine strainer.
1t is better TO make the jelly the day before
it is to be used, and in warm weather use a
little less water. Be sure that the gelatine
is perfectly soak before pouring on the boil
ing water, even though it should take a
longer time than above stated.

In the Supreme Court to-day the case ex

bench warrant for felony under the en-

that this court has no appellate power over
the Circuit Court In criminal cases to dis
charge prisoner, and cannot therefore in
terfere under the pending Indictment. The
counsel For the prisoner maintains that the
fourteenth section of the Judiciary act
authorizes this court to exercise a special
appellate and corrective jurisdiction in such
cases of habeas corpus, with the writ of
ceTtnOrau az an adjunct to its appellate
power. Solicitor General Bristow, who
