Successful experiments, according to the
Lyons Progress, have been undertaken by the
Vine -Dressers' CONGRESS for the production Of
artificial clouds. Tin receivers, filled with 8
peculiarly prepared tar, we're disposed over an
area of many acres, and when the tar WAS ignited
thick white clouds rose into the atmosphere,
and, spreading out evenly over q large region,
remained suspended several yards above the
soil The reader will at onca understand the
object and the use Of this device. In seasons
when frost fB feared the tar-clouds would inter-
pose between the crops and the sky, thus check
ing the night diation which often causes such
ravages in vineyards and gardens, both in spring
and at harvest-tme. This experiment Of the
French husbandman is therefore something
more than curious scientific feat-itis is 8 va1na-
ble agricultural contrivance, all the more useful
from the simplicity and cheapness of it's ma
rhinery, few dollars worth Of tar being ample
provision for season until the dangers of frost

4 short time ago, an inquest was held near
London, On the body OF John Butler, who died,
according to the finding Of the jury, "from 8
blow given in seh-defence.n The deceased, On
arriving home, Was bleeding at the mouth, and
complained OF terrible pain in his head. On
being asked by his wife what VAS the matter, he
replied that he had - been in the VETS, and had
got Q straight blow from the shoulder" It ap-
{ Leared from the evidence that the unfortunate
man, who had been known for many years as ss a
religious disputant," !" when listening, that even
ing: to an address being delivered by street
preacher, on the rather vide subject Of the Gre
alton, had dissented from some assertion OF the
speaker, who, By way Of convincing him, called
him g an old fool" The deceased rejoined,
g You say that again and Twill knock you
dowl:" The preacher replied, say you are
an old fool with one leg in the grave and the
other QUIT This led to the deceased striking
the preacher, who Immediately 1eta1iated by
giving him 3 violent blow in the mouth. A gen
ernl row ensued, the people round taking
Sides" The deceased reached home with diff
Guilty, and died = few days later. The jury by
their verdict seem to hare thought that the
preacher was justified in killing this member OF
bis congregation but it is to be hoped that street
preachers who thus hold The terrible power Of
life and death in their hands will exercise it
with discretion, Will forbear as far as possible
from provoking their listeners to wrath BY call
ing them :s old FOOLS" and not as q rule wind up

An incident which has lately occurred at Aghi-
asso, town in the island of Mytelene-ancient
Iesboa-reveals ascandalous mode of life among
the upper ranks Of Greek eccleaiastics. We do
not know whether the Greek Church grants
licenses for prelatica1 irregularities; but it ap-
pears that, with or without superior sanction,
the Bishop Of Aghiasso had for fifteen years
past kept mistress in the Episcopal Palace, by
whom. he had had 8 numerous progeny, all
brought up on tho premises. Either from de-
sire to reture to Responsibility, or from pure
easnuS OF the ladys society, he at first deicately
suggested a separation and q removal to other
qunIters; but she, with true Greek apprecia-
ton of the value Of dollars, refused al parley
that was not based on the solid foundations Of
gold and silver. Another Bishop-a sympathetic
spirit happened to be staying in the town, and
the two right reverends, putting their heads
together, resolved on a coup de main which
would bring them out Of their dilemma in
cheap and satisfactory manner. This was to
haEo recourse to the police. They accordingly
despatched number Of zaptiehs (a11ned police
men) to the Episcopal Palace, with Instructions
to e1pel from thence the mother and her chill
dren. They found her prepared for battle and
determined to hold her ground to the last. One
of the zaptieha, thinking to frighten her into
submission, fired off his rife at random. The
bullet struck her eldest son, 3 lad Of 16, and
killed him On the spot.

the time I remained at Ispahan, devoted al
my leisure hours to the investigation OF the
harem and it's secrets, and think that am IN
position to tender the patrons OF the Globe
brief but interesting account Of this mysterious
institution. From the lips of woman, vendor
OF t1inketsa ut the palace, most Of my information
Was gained, she appearing to answer every ques-
tion Of mine with spiteful gusto, probably from
Jealousy or ayarice.
Here are stewards, secretaries, heasurera,
guards, etc, IN the outer palace, studying day
and night how best to govern the intrgues OF
the fair beauties in the inner sanctuary. There
are three ranks Of women in the hare1n, the Be-
gum, Canum, and katun1, or princeases of the
blood-royal, the mistresses. and the slaves. The
guards hold the most important Offices in and
shout the harem, and are divided into three
grades. First. those who are placed at tho outer
gates and never come within sight Of the women;
secondly. tha blacks from the coast Of Malabar.
