propose to have railways under the sea. A
submarine carriage Of most ingenious con-
struction has recently been invented inParis
to cross the channel, and for navigating deep
rivers and canals. The carriage is Of gal
vanized iron, and is Theoretically sealed.
As its lightness, compared with the sur
rounding water, would cause it at once to
rise to the surface, it is attached to heavy
eight wheeled truck, which runs on line
of rails laid down under the ocean. 1t is not
fastened SO security, however, but that, in
the event Of an accident. it could be at once
detached and allowed to ascend to the open
air, when it would be easy to make for the
nearest port. The motive power is supplied
by two screws driven by compressed air.
An enormous quantity Of air is distribut 4
through the interior in numerous pipes,
for the benefit Of the screw and passengers.
We might enter still farther into details,
and describe the electric light at the bows,
which is to illuminate both the road and
the interior of the vessel; the entrance for
the passengers, Theoretically sealed when
all are aboard; the strong glass windo IS
out OF which any one may see the marvel;
ef the deep; the raft carried on the roof
and the divers chamber at the stern.

Some days later the Marechale received a
casket of excellent champagne (sto,en from

The robber chief had been placed in one
Of those horrible subterranean dungeons
destroyed in 1880 by the humane command
Of Louis XVI. He had companion in

of extorting confession. The process verbal
relating to Cartouche reports the appl;ca-
ton OF the question in the form OF the

of increasing size were forclbly driven until

assertion amply confirmed by the confusion
and iniiscipline, which on his decease be-
came suddenly preceptible in the ranks of
crime. To the last two questions addressed
to him, wether any person Of condition be-
longed to his band, and whether he had
ever accepted brides to murder, he replied
emphatically in the negative.

open the wonderful phenomenon presented
itself that the sediment was gradually
changed into coal; and the remainder was
also gradually changing, the only portions
of the sediment remaining quite soft, being
that part deposited first and next the sides
of the pipe. A cross section ofthe pipe now
shows, commencing at the centre, first .
circle Of about half an inch in diameter sur
rounding the two inch open .ng remaining in
the pipe then . circle of sediment partly
turned into coal, and then the sediment in
its natural state and the sides Of the pipe.
The surface Of sediment which was exposed
to the action Of the atmosphere has chang
ed first, and the same influences of chemical
combinations which had changed its nature
were gradually operating on the rest of the
sediment. The process Of formation is
plainly seen in the sediment next that al
ready turned into coal
Samples of coal taken from the pipe have
been tried on the blacksmith fire at the col
llery, and It makes an exceepingly hot fire,
| but being Of q softer nature than the an-
| tEracite, it clinkers badly. Fortunately
there are any quantity OF samples of this
| wonderful formation, and those who are I'M
willing to believe without themselves seeing
and touching can be accommodated. There
is no keely motor business about this dis
covery. A section Of the pipe about sixteen
feet long has been left standing in the shaft
to see what results will follow in the next
six months or year Samples have also been
sent to Gen. Peasants at Pottsyille for ex-
animation, and We suppose the public will
soon have the opinion Of gentlemen qualified
TO judge on this surprising formation
but if anthracite coal will form from sedi-
ment deposited by mine water when exposed
to the action Of the atmosphere under GER

months, what becomes Of all the pet theories

Was it dream2
| walked one day down through city's street:
The SIN was shining dimly overhead,
While filth and vileness We're beneath my feet,
And the houses on either size seemed red
TO the bricks core with wickedness untold.
And there were sights SO drear and manifold
OF want and suffering. OF Wretchedness
In young and old, OF hunger pitiless,
And stellches foul, the very soul was sick,
And dared not harbnr questions, crowding thick
OF Gods beneiceuce, ana OF His love.
And there, as through those sadening fights |
strove,
Fen there, upon a garbage heap, spied
A rose bud, thrown by scornful hands aside
A rose bud that few days before had hung
Upon its parenttree, purest among
Its sisters Get and fair The dew had blessed
It's opening morn; its odors had caressed
The ambient air, and kissed the lips OF hose
Who bowed their lips to kiss the budding rose.
And then one said lie loved it more than all,
And tore it from its stem did see fall
rain drop?l, and bore it on his breast away.
ALI! how it joyed to lie there through the day,
Bright with fragrant beauty, s"eetly asking
Love for its loye--suro twas 40 hard tasklng.
But soon, its freshness gone, it knew It's tate--
Alas! how many learn 1t late, too late
And he who wore 1t merely that II she'd
It's first sweet odors circing round his head,
And with its beauty graced him as he walked,
Nor loved it for its sake alone, when baked
OF these, soon tore it from his breast away,
And, careless Of its tate, lett it the play
And toy OF who should ca q lnomehts space
70 please him with its tleeting, fading grace.
Aud so twas soon when fostering and torlorn
And soled ana torn, Of all pure men the scorn
This bud so far, 50 sweet, so loved the while
This Withered bud, SO faced, bruised, and vile
Was thrown upon tie garbage heap, to ylelo
Its little earth 10 enrich some Potter's field.
With reverent hand | took it from the pile
q though the heavens gave me back SMILEY
With reVereIt hand brushed the filth away
| gently pulled apart It's petals fair,
And, even then, an odor faint but rare
B,eathed from Its inner heart and seemed t
pray,
And colors bright and pure that heart disclosed
The rose bud even yet contained the rosel
And then thought twas waited from my hand
And blossomea full and sweet in Heaven

A NEW PHASE OF SPIRITUAL MANlFES-
TATiONS.

1A7iONS.
We have heard considerably Of late of the
use ofparaffine by spirits to give casts of
themselves The other evening, at Paine
Hall, in this city, Prof. William Denton pro-
duced . novelty which pleases the believers
very much. Into bucket containing para
fine was poured hot water. The paraffine
came to the surface, and if the finger or
hand was immersed in ii the paraf'ine would
adhere, and, cooling, the coating could be
removed intact Plaster could then be pour
ed into the mould and cas-, obtained
Mrs. Hardy, the we'll known medium, took
her place on the side Of the table. opposite
the audience, and all left the platform ex-
cept an inquiring sceptic, who wished q
nearer view The hall was then darkened
and the coming Of the spirits awaited. The
intervening time was taken up in a discus
sion between believers and non believers.
Mrs. Hardy announced once or twice to
parties near that she heard the spirits al
work with the paraffine, but the sceptic who
sat near was not so fortunate. At length X
was announced that the spirits had complet-
ed their work. The table was removed, and
beside the pail, on shawl borrowed from
the audience, lay a mould Of q face. The
spirit had dipped its face in tie par affine

mask on the shawl, and Withdrawn. The
pail and its contents we're weighed and
found to be about three ounces lighter than
when it went under the table The mould
and detached portion Of wax which the
spirit had dropped in its manifestations
weighed about three ounces. Believers in
spiritualism found the mould warm 10 the

human agency. The spiritualists we're jub-
liant over the result, and non- believers

THE NAL ADY OF MYSTICISM.

The Belgian phys stefan who wrote a
volume on ''the maladies special to
mystics'' got the CT TT before the horse
MYSTICISM is itself y malady special to
men of certain tervor and intensity
OF temperament, under the pressure Of
certain sorts of chagrins and disappo;nt-
ments. 1t is noticeable that large pro-
portion OF the converts TO Swedenbor-
ianism have been men deeply engaged
in the practical affairs of life, and past
middle age. The mystical tendencies Of
Ruskin which have of late years taken
control of the mans fiery nature and Civ
en- glaze almost of insanity to his utter
ances. are exactly in character. Grunt-
Wig, who died recently in Denmark after
founding religion and establishing y
system OF worship, was originally pas
sionate poet and man OF affairs. as well
as q pastor. CORES, the greatest OF the
modern mystics, whose centenary has
just been celebrated by the German III
tramontanes, began as an ardent prose-
lyte OF the French revolution he headed
the German Aufklarung against the ty-
ranny Of Napoleon, and only took up
with mediByalism and fell back into
quietism when he found that the Resto-
ration meant the reinstatement OF all the
old abuses. Loyola himself began as a
trooper, and Mr.. Beecher who breaches
q very pure mysticism now (whatever
he may practice). began by loading
Sharp's rifles and firing them off in the
pulpit In this view Of the case, there
is always refuge and hope for such
men AS Rontwell and COlfax Rnfiar and
Carpenter. Colfax indeed publicly de.
clares, in his lectures, that he has found
