POKING FUN AT GENEVA.

The Pail MdN Gazette asks why the sys-
TEN of sham battles and mock campaigns
recently adopted in England as means of
testing the efficiency of educating the army,
should not be extended to other professions,
diplomacy for instance? 'Say the corpora
ton of town Is at feud with the nearest
squire about right of way through his
yard, or the farmers dog has bitten the
parsons little boy, or the linendrauer's as
sistant has slsndered the milliner's appren-
tice, or what not. Two of our crack diplo-
matists-Lord Russell and Lord Malmes-
bury-are sent do Kn to the spot with an
army Of secretaries, attaches, clerks, aud
embryo diplomatists of every grade, and
forthwith commence to fire reams of letters
into each other, just for all the world as If
they were tackling foreign rival. Some
| independent member of Parliament-Mr.
Bernal Osborne would make good one
should De umpire; and the correspondence
would be published in the Times. After a
due amount of correspondence we might
perhaps even arrive at Conference. Pro-
tocols might be composed and treaties
drawn up, the victory being awarded to that
side which had secured the introduction
into these documents Of the greater num-
Der of antiquities, general understandings
and other loOpholes of the like nature
through whicl it might be easy to creep
whenever 1t was convenient so to do"

AN ODD PRiCrrCAL JOKE.

a Swiss court has had before it q case
originating from a practical joke of an
equally daring and ridiculous nature. a
sapper, with o bushy head, who was re-
turning to his native village from his mill
tsry duty, staid night In the chief town of
the canton. He was found drunk in a
ditch on the roadside Two ways passing
by, according to the Swiss Times, took the
drunkenman. first to the house of one of
them, who owned an old monks cowl and
tonsure, shaved all the hair off his face;
and dressed him in the habit of monk.
They then took him to the nearest convent,
and said they had found him lying drunk
on the roadside, and brought him there in
order TO avoid the scandal which might
ens1e ii he were found outside. On
awaking the sapper was not little aston
ished to find himself in the cell of a con-
vent, with monks cowl on, and that he
had no hair left on his face or on the crown
OF his head. To his protestations, the
fathers replied that he must be still laboring
under the effects of drink, and advised him
to 60 to sleep once more. At length thew
consented to send for the priest of the par
ish where ne said he resided, in order to
clear up the mystery. On the priest arriv-
ing he recognized in the psuedo monk his
parishoner, whereupon he was permitted
to depart. Means were found to discover
the two wags, and the sapper, thus extern
ported into monk, as well as the br 9th
erhood who was so fooled, intend to bring
an action against them. AS in religious
matters, the canton of Friburg is very
strict, and is not likely to see the point of
the joke, the two ways will probably get the
worst Of it. 80

AN antiquated writer in the Memphis
Appeal has dug up out Of bis memory the
following rich story. The young lawyer re-
ferred to is still fourishing In Memphis:
There was never greater local excitement
than that which grew out of this internal
navysyard business. Half the people were
in favor OF excepting the property and half
or more opposed to ii, the latter thinking
that the Government might be induced eY
en- yet to make liberal approximations and
perfect the navy-yara and build ships and
steamers here, There were two newspa-
pers published here; one, a morning publ
cation, edited by a gentleman Of no odina-
ry ability named Bankhead, who wastraQlc.
ally and mysteriously assassinated some six
years ago. There was another, an after
noon paper, called the Neers q believe that
was its nancy, edited by man named
Yancy. These editors opposed one an
other on the navy-ysrd question, and their
discussions had begotten good deal of
excitement, when both went away fer the
summer, and each without the others
knowledge employed the same man, this
young lawyer, to conduct bis paper In bis
absence. The young limb Of the law ma
turally enough took to both sides Of the
question. He made the controversy be-
tween the two papers hotter and hotter on
each successive day. Crowds gathered
each afternoon about the Nelcs Office and
somebody expected that the two furious ed,
itors would shed blood. The coming duel
In Arkansas was confidently anticipated,
and the feroeity of the two papers was
marvellous. Popular excitement was en-
tense when Bankhead came hurrVing home
from Virginia AID Yancey from Alabama,
each thinking that the other was about tC
murder his own substitute. Such was the
fervor Of popular feeling and evaporation
that the story was necessarily kept quiet.
If the mischieyous fraud upon public pas
sion had been exposed At the time the co J
G1nore editor would have been hanged to q
lamp post"

FORrELLING THE wEArHER.

Some interesting ideas concerning the
cause of earthquakes and tidal waves, of
storms, and in general what we may call
the philosophy of the weather, are advanced
by Mr.. f. l.. Cspen, Of the American Me-
neurological Society. Mr.. Capen has de-
voted many years to incessant watching of
the weather, and in noting its various phe-
nomena. He thinks he has found the key
to the whole meteorological system of the
globe. So confident is be of the vertical
tons, already obtained, of the principles
which he has finally adopted, that he has
accepted from Gen. Myres, chief of the sig
nal Bureau, a proposition to submit his
theory to extraordinary test. He desires
Government aid in the prosecution of his
work of investigation; and to test the reali-
ty of what he believes he has already dis
covered, he accepts proposition to foretell
the weather Seuen days in advance; and lie
offers to continue this seven-dsy test for a
time long enough to satisfy the Government
&C the truth of his principles.

A CALIFORNIA JUDGE,s DILEMMA

A lawyer of Vallejo, whom, not to men
ton any names, we will call Judge c., got
into very amusing predicament yesterday.
A woman, whose husband had been SEN
fenced for misde aIeanor to term in the
county jail, appeared in one of our courts
with three small children at her heels, and
begged his Honor to have her better half
released, urging that she was destitute, and
knew not how to feed her children or her.
self while he was in prison. The court as
sured the woman of its inability to help
her in the matter, and referred her to Judge
c., who was present. AS the latter person
had secured her husbands conviction, the
woman thought that he could also procure
his pardon, and was therefore much con-
founded when he, too, told her that thing
couldn't be accomplished. "Wel," she
calculated, half despairingly, half resigned,
''if you won't do that, you'll have TO keep
these young ones until his time is out, for
I've got nothing to feed 'em on" The
Judge thought the matter good joke until
be started TO leave the Office, when the wo-
man told her little blessings to s'go along
with the gentleman, children" The little
cherubs were obedient; and followed their
newly. constituted father with as much af-
lection as if they had been part of his own
bone and flesh. The judge was in dilem-
ma; the children stuck like burrs, and no
way offered Of getting rid of them, He f.
nally effected compromise by offering the
woman sack of -four in consideration OF
her scaling her children off," and again
assuming guardianship. - Vallejo (CaL)

This article of drug now commands So
per ounce, and is one of the most seful in
the entire list of manufactured drugs. For
the Information of the trade, says the New
York Commercial Bulletin, recently there
has been an effort on the part of prominent
medical and scientific men to induce Con-
gress to set apart suitable portion of the
public domain for the purpose of cultiva-
ting and growing the chinchona tree, from
which the useful and almost indispensable
article Of quinine is produced. This tree
is native Of Soath America, and found to
grow only on the Andes, above what is
termed the cloud line OF those high and ma
jestic peaks, and usually in greater guam IT,
ty and better quality north of the equato-
rial line; hence for its cultivation in the
United States, the Sierra Nevada range of
mountains in California have been selected
by the parties who urge the trial of its cul-
tivation in this country as being the noun
tains most closely resembling in soil and
climate the Andes. There can be no doubt
OF success of the cultivation if the chincho-
ia tree Is properly undertaken and attend
ed to, as the results of similar experiments
by the English Government In the Hima-
layas OF India fully attest.

McMINN COUNTY.

80 the Editor OF the Union and American:
ATHENS, McMINN COUNTY, Sept. 20,
1872 We have but two political parties in
this county, the Conservative Democratic
party and the Radical party. These par
ties are nearly equal. thought at one
time We had the embryo Of a Liberal Re
publican party, composed of two persons,
but now know Of but one Liberal Repub-
lican in the county. 5dj
Before the Nashville Convention there
were . good many Of the Conservative
Democracy who expressed wish that Mr..
johnson should be put upon the ticket for
Congress for the State at large, but since
Mr.. johnson has declared himsilf an inde-
pendent candidate and in his speeches has
been endeavoring to affiX infamy upon the
defenders Of "the Lost Cause" his sup
porters in this county have dwindled. The
johnson Democrats who were blatant in
his behalf when he first announced himself
a candidate, are now comparatively silent.
One thing l do know, that every Conted
ate that have met with since johnson
made bis Gallatin speech, has said that by
voting for johnson he would be placing the
scar of infamy upon himself ~
What does The Republican Banner mean
by saying the people Of Tennessee wert
dragged into the war by politicians;
Does the Bonner think that the
people have forgotten that imme
diatelv after Mr.. Lincoln ISSUED
his proclamation for IS, goo men, and called
on tennessee for her quota, the people o
Tennessee, without waiting to hear from
any politician, rose up in their might and
declared by an overwhelming majority that
in fight between the sections, they woult
take sides with their Southern brethren
Again, do not Mr.. Johnson and the BGnue
pay the people of Tennessee but s'pool
compliment, when they they charge then
with being pulled about at the pleasure of
few politicians? Which side did the Ban
ner take? And if the side Of the South
who pulled him? CLIO.

SAVING WOOD WITHOUT A SAW.

The Scientific american records the
change of one of the 'impossibilities of the
past into q reality" George Robinson, NJ.
D., of New York, has invented mode of
saving or cutting wood without saw or ak,
by electricity. The galvanic current, when
passed over platinum wire in sufficient
quantity, heats the wire TO white heat.
This wire, thus heated, does the work of
saw or axe, without any appreciate ex-
penditure of muscular force. BY arranging
the wires with handles, or other means BY
which it may be guided, any kind of lum-
Der, whether in trees, logs or plank, may
be cut as desired. The battery need be
only of the simplest kind, as quantity, not
intensity of current, is required. a child
by this means may fell the largest tree In
the forest, divide it into logs, or cut in into
boards, without saw or axe. Only think of
i'll The idea of cutting down a huge pine
tree with wire!
