INSTRUMENTATION

The Echo de Castres, in the department Of
Tarn, France, relates that recently a curious
discovery has been made in the lead mines OF
PeyTebrune, near Laanasse, namely, the marks
Of cuttings of the rock in the galleries by Roman
workmen; also of furnaces constructed similar
to those still in use in some parts of Germany.
For several hundred yards likewise has been
traced out the route which connected these
mines with the great Roman road, and served
as an outlet for the lead and silver ore found in
that locality.
The Journal DIES Debats Of August puts an
entirely new color on the incident (Which has
been so frequently alluded to in the French and
foreign press,l which marked the French ambas
sador's recent reception by the sultan. 1t up.

etiquette, the sultan should not rise to receive

been informed of the observation made by NJ. dc
Vogue, Immediately rose, went to the French
ambassador, and shook him atfectonately by
the hand; the conversation which followed was
OF the most courteous and friendly nature.

CHILDREN IN THE WooDs.-A very touching
story, similar to the old tale OF "The Babes in
the Woods" comes to us from Green River, in
the town of Hillsdale. A few days since three
children of John Foley, residing on the noun
tain east of that place. aged respectively four,
six and eight, became lost in the mountain
woods. The first was little girl, the other two
were boys. They went out to play near the
house, and strayed away after huckleberries
into the woods. The mother missed them, and
blew her dinner horn all around for mile near
the house, but could get no answer That night
1t rained very hard. The next day word was
sent TO the village of Green River by the frantic
mother, and all the people turned out and went
in search Of the children. Every man was fitted
out with bread, meat and stinulants in case
they should find them. All was vast wilder.
ness for miles around, so the men went in differ.
ent directions.
Fears were entertained that the children
might be attacked by wild beasts, as q Mr..
Charles Jones, while hunting on this mountain
had discovered three wild cats, which escaped
before he could get near enough TO shoot them
Tho mother stood in the door, wringing and
twisting her hands, encouraging the hunters to
be Vigilant, for she said they were barefooied
and bareheaded, and would soon starve; they
were never away from home before, and the near
est house was about three or four miles distant,
and even TO this they had never been.
About three O'Clock a little son of Mr.. lnger.
SOL, WUllt III lub NoOuS lOl iOSl cattle,
discovered the three little creatures huddled to.
gether under tree and covered with leaves.
They put up their hands and began TO cry when
they discovered the boy lngersol. lie led them
along TO the open field and SO on TO the house,
and the joy Of the mother may well be imagined.
She ran 10 meet them, screaming and crying
and catching first one in her arms and hugging
that for u moment, then letting il down and
taking another one and pressed that TO her
heart, and 50 on for nearly an hour before she
became Gained BY this time all the hunters
had returned from the search, and they, too,
had TO kiss and hold the children, and unbidden
tears came to the eyes Of great stalwart men
who had never known tears since their child
hood.
One Of the men took the little girl in his lap,
and asked her if she slept any. She replied,
laughing:
eyes; put on Johnnys can, and put my feet
on Pat, and the rain came right down on me-"
When found they wero all wet 10 the skin,

lively small means, who need to make every dollar
count are therefore particularly interested in learn
ing what may be equally safe and gives better re-
turn. Shrewd capitalists are generally agreed that
first mortgage bonds upon well located railroads
are next to governments in assured safety, and If
a seven per cent gold bond can be bought at about
so, the return upon the capital invested Is nearly
eight per cent gold instead of FIVE.
Among the choice railroad securities now on the
market, that of the CHICAGO, DANvILLB AND
VIHCENEEs railroad has become one OF the most
desirable. The bonds are a first mortgage upon an
AIRLINE between the now celebrated Indiana coal
fields and Chicago, which city needs very large

A NEW SYSTEM FOR THE TRANSMISSION of
WoRDs.-Martin Arenskow, q Russian, who
claims to be an adept in the art Of mentog-
raphy, or mind writing, has been at Long
Branch, endeavoring to obtain an audience of
the president, with the view to illustrate his
art and have it adopted by the government He
claims that his system is superior to the tele-
graph for the transmission of intelligence, and
that spiritualism and mediums sink into insg-
nifcance compared to it. He failed to gain the
ear of the president, and was advised to come
here and try 10 meet him on his arrival on
Friday next.
Mr.. Arensknow accordingly arrived here yes
terday, and has been explaining to several per-
sons the proposal he intends making to the
president He asserts that he possesses the
power to so impress the mind of another in-
structed by himself, no matter what the dis
lance may be between them, that the ideas
which occupy his mind at the moment are COM
pretended by that person so thoroughly that
he can write them down correctly and they will
compare exactly word for word with his. He
proposes to test this by having one Of his stu
dents placed in the patent office under charge of
some official designated for the purpose, and an
other in the capitol under similar regulations.
The president is then 10 dictate dispatch Of one
hundred words, which Mr.. Arenskow is to be
allowed to read, and he Immediately exercises
his alleged mind power on the students so placed
at the points designated, and they Immediately
write down what he communicates to them and
hand the paper 10 the official in whose charge
they may be placed. The documents so written
are to be forwarded to the White house by mes
sengers belonging to the offices named, and are
to be opened by the president and compared with
the dispatch dictated by himself, to see If all
three agree, as this distinguished subject of the
czar claims they will
1t is said by some that the Russian Is crazy,
while others hold that there is Something"
in his system. 1t Ia very doubtful, however,
that the president will give his aid to the pro-
ject, and the inventor of it will have to devise
some other mode of conveying the merits Of his
plan to the public. Hedeclares 1t TO be his nten-
ton to apply for patent for his discovery or in
Vention, as the case may be, in order that he may
reap the benefits of the immense revolution
which he claims that it will create in the trans
mission of ideas from mind to mind Washing
