Macon (Ga.) Messenger.
Among the victims of the fever at
Shreveport was Alfred Saville, one OF
the best-known and most accomplish
ed telegraph operators in the conn
try, and attached to the command of
General John H. Morgan during the
late war, the story of whose practical and
profitable jokes on the Federals enliven-
ed the gloomy annals of those tines
His feats on the enemy's wires, throwing
large forces OF Federal cavalry off the
scent, directing them to the right and
left, opening their lines for the dashing
Morgan to sweep through in quest of
men and horses, are among the most ro-

The consequence is that firms whose
business operations have largely out
run their available resources and be-
come badly complicated, must stop.
There is no help for it. But, on the
other hand, there is no reason for
depression and gloom. There is no
great surplus of goods in the mar
ket. Neither the cotton nor the
wooden manufactures can stop for
long time. A suspension of the
iron foundries for three months
would produce dearth of that ar
ticle in the market. The stock of
coal on hand is not large, and there
are no more shoes than the trade re-
quires; while the crops were never
larger than the present year, and
the West is a vast granary, stored
with wheat, corn, and other articles
of consumption. The financial strin-
gency will bring all business back to
a solid basis, and diminish prices as
well as wages. 1t will tend to equal
ize the value of currency and gold
And if the President had wisely act
ed on our suggestion, and called an
extra session of Congress a month
or two ago to take the initiatory
measures toward a resumption of
specie payments, we might to-day
have the solid compensation for all
our suferings in an appreciated cur
rency and relieved country. We
trust such a pressure of public opin
ion will be brought to bear on Con
gress when it meets that it will take
the requisite steps to an immediate
resumption, which will permanently
relieve the country and prevent the
recurrence of a similar visitation.

AppletOn's Journal for 1S73-En-
largemenf.

Appleton's journal viii hen ee:orth be
enlarged 10 the extent of four more pages
of reading The journal has always
contained a larger quantity of -eading-
matter than any other periodical of rs
class, and this addition renders it the
cheapest literary periodical in the coun-
try'. Appleton's Journal gives, in a
weekly form, all 7lle features of a month
ly magazine. Its weekly issue brings it
q more frequent visitor to the family
shan is the case with a monthly periodi-
ical, while, in the course of the year,
much greater aggregate and a larger va
riety of papers are furnished than are
gwen in any of the regular monfhlies.
But, for those who prefer it, the Journal
is put up in Monthly Parts, and in this
form its scope and variety, as compared
with other magazines, become conspicu-
ously apparent.
Appleton's Journal will continue to
present healthful, sound, instructive, and
entertaining literature. 1t will cOnfine
itself as a rule to one serial ROUeL at q time;
it will contain the best short stories at
tainable; It will give picturesque des-
criptions of places, and stirring narra-
tives of travel and adventure; it will
have entertaining papers upon various
subjects that pertain to the pursuits and
reereations of the people; it will give
portraits and sketches of persons distin-
guished in various walks of life; will
present lively, social sketches, having in
special view those things the knowledge
of which will contribute to the welfare
and happiness of the household; it will
describe phases of life in all quarters of
the globe; it will discuss the important
events of the time, and the advances
made in art, literature, and science; it
will endeavor to reflect the ideas, move
ments, and development of society; and,
while hoping to enlighten, will strenu-
ously aim to entertain, with large abund-
ance of material, all who resort to its
pages for intellectual pleasure. Illus
tration will be used sufficiently to give
variety and animation to its pages; but
the aim will be to make it rather a jour-
nal of popular high-class literature than
merely a vehicle for pictures. In carry
ing out this programme, the editors will
have the aid of the abiest writers pro-
durable.

Strikes are becoming frequent
in some parts of the country on ac-
count of the persistent attempts of
railroad and manufacturing compa-
nies to cut down the wages of en-
ployes. Employers maintain that
they are compelled to cut down wa
ges because of the moneys tringency,
which, in most instances, is probably
humbug. 1t is more likely that the
cutting down is done for the pur-
pose of making more money for
themselves. How the laboring men
have to suffer when a few of the
prominent lordly spectators have a
run of back luck

"Last evening" relates the New Or
leans Herald, "while the chief engineer
of a lung tester was expatiating upon
the benefits to be derived from use of
his instrument, cadaverous individual
stepped out of the crowd and remarked
to him: "Mister, do you think it would
help me any to blow into that camp
Yes, sir; certainly; it would expand your
chest, give elasticity to the lungs, and
lengthen your life. Why, you'd soon
be able to blow five hundred pounds,
and win the five kdollar prize why,
does a fellow get five dollars when he
blows that many pounds!' Eyes, sir;
wouldn't you like TO make a trial!'' with
a knowing wink to the crowd. L don't
care if I do said Greens, walking
around and planking down dime of the
greasy shinplaster sort. Then, taking
the mouthpiece in his hand, made ready.
He opened his mouth until the hole in
his face looked like dry dock for ocean
steamers, and began to take in wind
The imitation was like that OF the lDaily
Graphic balloon, but not SO disastrous.
That fellows chest began to grow and
distend until he resembled a pouter-pig-
con more than a man, at which point he
put the mouthpiece to his lips. That
can-top went up like a fash, and the
needle of that indicator spun around like
button on a country School house door,
until it stood still at five hundred poundsl
The crowd cheered, and the keeper of can
paid over the five dollars in stamps with
mutter of astonishment. But Greens
pocketed them coolly, and turning to the
spectators, said. Look here, gents, that
amt nothing to do at all for man who
has been bugler in a deaf and dumb asy
lum for seven years, like mel"

THE SPECTROSCOPE.

One of the most useful applications
of the spectroscope has been III detect
ING new elementary substances on
earth, and in proving what substances
pervade the air we breathe. Several
re1v metals before unknown, have been
revealed by its agency, also the pres
ence Of substances have been detected
in our air in such minute proportions
as to be beyond the reach of any other
test. Indeed so sensitive Is this IN
strument to many substances that one
spectroscopist declares he can detect
differences in the blood, another asserts
that he can recognize by it the
thousandth part of a grain OF the
red matter of a blOod-stain. From
these and similar facts you may
Judge how important an instrument
the spectroscOpe may get become by de-
tecting those agents III the ar we
breathe that produce disease, and those
that assist health, and possibly too by
analyzing the vapOrs arising from GER
tain localities, and thus detecting what
mineral substances lie beneath the soil.
But we must stop here without telling
the half of what is to be said. We are
free. however, to believe that having
in the short space of fourteen years re-
vealed larger number of the secrets of
nature than any otherinstrument in the
same length of time, there is no calcu-
Iating, until it has been fairly tested,
what it may or may not reveal. =
