A LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
GRANT.

New YORK, Sept. 1O.-The fol-
lowing letter in relation to the ap-
preaching Soldiers and Sailors Con
vention at Pittsburg was received
this morning by Col. L. E. Dudley,
Secretary Of the Veterans of the Ma
tional Committee:
LONG BRANCH, N. j. Sept. 8.
DEAR SIR:-I am in receipt of
your letter of the 4th inst, extend
ing to me by your committe press
ing invitation to attend grand
mass convention of veteran soldiers,
to be held in the city of Pittsburg
on the 18th inst. Ny desire to at
tend and meet again SO many old
companions in arms is very great,
but my judgement tells me to leave
the celebration entirely to those
whose motives cannot be misunder-
stood. [ know no class of citizens
better entitled to meet in convention
and to have weight accorded their
views than the veteran soldiers who
risked their lives for the honor and
perpetuity of their country. I am
sure your councils will be marked
by wisdom and patriotism, and thai
the meeting of comrades will be g
joyous and advantageous one. ]
wish for you all that you expect
from your meeting of the 18th inst,
and only regret that I cannot be
with you on that occasion.
With great respect, your obedien
servant.

HOW TO DEAFEN WALLS.

Many methods have been adopted
by architects in their designs for
large buildings, some of which were
expensive, and others very imper-
feet. For private dwellings, requiring
the introduction of some mode of
deafening which will be acceptable,
we here propose a simple plan ;
which is, to nail on Iaths or firing
strips to the sides of the partition
studs midway Of their breadth, and
to each side of these nail on lathing,
on which lay stiff coat of plaster.
This will divide up the wall into
three spaces, instead of one, and op-
pose to the invasion of sound four
thicknesses. instead of two; thus ut
terly destroying the sound in its
course through the wall, by break
ing it up and so weakening its vol
ume as to prevent its penetrating be-
yond this boundary. Ceilings may
be deafened in similar manner,
only that the clearinghouse bridging
may be used to lath upon. Or, if
bridging is not used, the mailing On
of firrlng-pieces, say three inches
wide, may permit the proportionate
reduction Of thickness in the ioists,
and the lathing above and below
these firing strips would decidedly
answer the purpose of bridging where
great strength was not an absolute
object.
This multiplication of air-spaces
is a much more effective preventive
of the passage of sound than any
solid substance used in the construc-
ton Of houses, with but percentage
of the weight. Now, supposing the
studs of partition to be the usual
d or . by 4 inches, there would be
three spaces, of an inch and an
eighth each, in the thickness of this
partition wall, which would certain.
ly be all that would be required to
accomplish the desired effect of deaf
ening or destroying sound in its pas
sage through the wall, though that
sound might be very loud.-ZnGuS-

who was just married for the first
time, caused some meriment in the
Meriden depot, the other day, by
her anxiety to have everybody re-

tending to be heard by all in the
room: 81 am married, and am ia

DRUNKENNESS AND COLD
IN RUSSIA

The Russian serf, usually so mild
and submissive, became terrible in
his cups. One glass of brandy and
water, renders him a wild beast.
The vice Of this people is that they
drink to much-an excusable vice,
however, as the climate makes stimu-
lants a necessity. A coachman wait
ing at the door of his masters house
has resource to brady in order to re-
sist the rigor of the cold. The first
glass provokes him into drinking
second, so that at length the remedy
becomes worse than the disease, and
if, under such circumstances, the
coachman sleeps, it is never to wake
again. The effects of this extreme
cold are at times alarming. Foreign
ers in Russia have often lost their
nose or their ears, or even piece of
their cheeks which had suddenly be-
come frozen. One morning while on
my way to PeterhofF I met a Rus
sian, who quite suddenly, after hav-
ing picked up handful Of snow,
commenced to rub my left ear. In
the first moment of this friendly as
sault, [ had placed myself on the de-
fensive, but happily I soon apprecia-
ted the humane movement which ina
PEELED his action. Indeed, my car
had already begun to freeze, and
the sympathetic man had perceived
it by the appearance Of the part
threatened. 3'A''1- :

Gen. w. Howard, of Rome. N.
T., will be remembered as the gen
tleman who was married at Sharon
Springs, on Wednesday last, and
was on his way to visit a brother in
Pawntucket, R. l., when he lost his
bride of a day by the late Metis dis
aster. The next morning what was
supposed to be his wife's body was
found, and it was reported in these
columns, that her funeral would take
place at Sharon Springs yesterday.
The initials IN. A" were the same
as on his wife's rings, though it was
OF different pattern, yet he did not
feel positive that it was his wife.
Being nearly exhausted himself, and
not IN condition to think much
about it, he concluded it must be her.
Accordingly a coffin was procured at
Stonington, and he started Saturday
morning for the home of his loved
one. He arrived there with what he
supposed to be his wife; on opening
the coffin at the residence of his wife's
parents, they discovered at once that
it was not their daughter. The
scene that followed can be better i'm
agined than described. The af1ict-
ed husband at once returned to Sto-
nington, and forwarded the corpse by
express. When he arrived, he
found another man hunting for the
body he had supposed was his wife.
In the meantime his friends in Pawn
tucket had heard Of the lady who
was picked up by the schooner ALB.
Belden and brought to Newport, and
had telegraphed to the undertaken
for description, which he gave, and
at the same time had a photograph
taken and sent also. This conyine-
ed them that the body which had
been in this city since Friday night
was no other than the wife Of Mr..
Howard. He in company with his
brother arrived here this morning,

LIGHT AND SOUND.

It is now generally the accepted
doctrine that both light and sound
are produced by vibration, in the
former case, of a highly attenuated,
elastic medium, called either mot yet
positively demonstrated to EXIST
and in the latter case, of the air or
some other vibrating body. 1t must
be borne in mind, however, that the
vibrations of light are different in
character, as we'll as in medium,
from those of sound. This differ
ence can be easily illustrated. IF a
number of ivory or glass balls are
suspended side by side, in contact,
and blow is given to the first ball,
In the direction of the line of balls,
the impact is conveyed through all
the balls, until the last one flies off.
What takes place here is the alter
nate compression and elastic recov-
cry of form of each ball and this is
exactly the way in which sound is
propagated, by longitudinal vibra-
ton. The propagation of light, on
the other hand, is like the advance
of wave in water, or in a long cord,
lying on the ground, and jerked up
and down at one end, or In carpet
or table-cloth, when shaken or
spread. Something appears to ad-
vance but when motion has ceased,
the water, cord or carpet is just
where it was before. 1t was the mo-
ton or a0a0e that advanced, and if
we examine the path of each part of
the body affected, we find that it has
merely risen and fallen, in line
perpendicular to the progress of the
wave. This is the nature of the
propagation Of light, by transverse
vibrations. 1t is we'll, therefore, to
distinguish between light and sound,
by speaking of the undulations of
the former, and the pulses of the lat
ter.

The Lauderdale (Ala. J Times gives
a detailed account Of the lynching of
three noted burglars in their town.
They were arrested by a mob, and
hung by mob, without the shadow
of a trial. The evidence of their be-
ing robbers was beyond doubt, but
that they were murderers was only
proven by the reckless boasts of one
of their party. The Times, in behalf
of a gratifed community. gives a vote
of thanks to the gentlemanly hang
men who took the law in their own
hands, and closes bv hoping that
their friends at a distance will not look
upon them as guilty of any lawless-
ness, as they are as law abiding as
any citizens of the land. Tom Clark,
the leader of the robber band, was
supposed to have committed sixteen
murders, and "the others, no doubt,
aoould have slain their scores if they
had found it necessary to cover their
villainy. Aud so it is dismissed, and
the public conscience is easy.

HOW TO TREAT A HORSE.

Some English grooms at Saratoga
are teaching the yankees" how to
take care of horse.
To day I asked one of these
grooms, who has spent twenty years
in the stables of royalty, what he
had to say about our American way
of taking care of a horse.
"Why, sir" said he, ''you don't
take good care of your horses you
think you do, but you don't"
"Why 2" | asked.
Because, when horse comes in
all wet with perspiration, you let
him stand in the stable and dry with
all the dirt on. In England, we
take the horse as he comes in from a
drive and sprinkle blood-warm water
all over him, from has head to his
feet. Then we scrape him down
and blanket him, rubbing his legs
and face dry. Thus, in an hour, he
is clean and dry, and ready to take
a good feed, while, with your way,
he will stand and swelter for hours,
and finally fry, sticky and dirty.
Our horses never founder and never
take cold. We never use a curry
comb. You scratch your horses to
hard. The only care necessary is to
have the water not very cold, then
battle them quick and blanket them
instantly, while you are rubbing
their legs
