because he describes, after his own
way, in obscure words and puzzling
expressions, an instrument like the
telescope. But, secondly, if we
speak of the telescope, as it is now
used after general perfection, we
must say that neither Porta nor
Gallleo is the first discoverer of it,
but the telescope in this sense was
discovered in Germany, among the
Belgians, and that accidentally
by one Kramer, who sold spec
tacles, and either for amuse-
ment or experimentation COM
bined concave and convex
glasses, SO that with both glasses
he could see quite small and dis
tant object large and near; at which
success being rejoiced, he united
several similar pairs of glasses in a
tube and offered the combination
at a high price to wealthy people.
Thereafter they (the telescopes) be-
came gradually more common
among the people, and spread to
other countries. In this way two
Of them were brought for the first
time by a Belgian merchant to
Italy; of these, one remained long
in the college at Rome; the other
went first to Venice, later to Naples;
and here the Italians, and especially
Calico, at that time Professor Of
Mathematics in Paduah, took the
opportunity of improving it to as
Economical purposes, and extend its
use further. Thus the telescope,
as we have it to-day, was discovered
by Germany and perfected by Italy;
the whole world now rejoices in it,

Tomorrow, before Chief Justice
Ross, the habeas corpus. case of
Smith VS.. Gilman will be argued.
The case is an interesting one. A
young man named Lee Gilman be-
came enamored of thhteen-year-
old daughter of Willard Smith, a
wealthy Shrewsbury farmer, and
knowing that the consent of the
parents could not be obtained, ar
ranged for an elopement. AS it is
necessary to obtain a license in this
State, Gilman, with a friend, ap-
piled to the town clerk, who would
not issue the necessary license with
out the consent of the girls pa
rents. During Thursday afternoon
Gilman again appeared before the
clerk with letter purporting to be
from the girls parents, giving the
requested consent, and after obtain
ing the license he met the girl as
she was leaving school, and togeth-
er they went before the Rev. Walter
Mitchell, rector of Trinity church,
and were married. The father,
hearing Of the matter, obtained a
writ Of habeas corpus, and the
young wife, who was found hiding
in cellar Of an old building with
her husband, was taken in charge
by an officer of the court. Both
the husband and wife evidently
mean business, both proclaiming
undying love for one another, and
the husband disclaiming any design
on the old mans property. The
parents of the girl, who is hardly
more than a child, acknowledge the
influence Of Gilman over their
daughter, but claim that it has been
gained serreptitiously and for bad
motives. The letter was evidently
forgery, but as it was not the OBJ
tanning of value by fraud its author
is not amenable to the law. Gilman
is twenty-three years of age, and
has been employed as a teamster
the past summer. He is not charged
with being youth of bad charac-
ter, but his social position is evil

Four Reasons for tlla Sueeesu of The

General Hawley in the Hartford Courant.l
The controversy between breech-
leaders and muzzle-loaders may be
considered decided in favor of the
former. The British loaded in the
Rigby style, never wiping out their
muzzle-loaderS, but pushing down
upon the powder a closely-fitting
disk of tough felt, saturated with
oil, which is expected to take along
in going down and being fired out
all the residuum and fouling in the
barrel. That it cannot do so is
evident to any one who will make
the experiment in a breech- loader.
The American riflemen wipe out
the breech-loader after each shot
till the bore becomes as bright
as silver. In the second
place, three of the British team
lie prone upon their breasts in
firing. That attitude has been
abandoned by the Americans, who
have proven that lying upon
the back or side gives a much firmer
position. In the third place, the
British riflemen-of English, Irish
and Scotch-have never trained
together as much as the Americans,
are not as well acquainted with each
others peculiarities, and are not in
the habit of exchanging sugges-
tons, information and opinions
every moment, or as freely and cor
daily as the Americans do. The
latter had better coachers-the vete-
ran rihemen Bodine, Hepburn and
Oonlin, who sat close by all day
giving occasional advice, with a reas-
suring calmness and good judgment
that must have been useful. And
lastly American rihemen believe
that they have made and can make

TRAGIC RUNAWAY MATCH,

We learn that a young lady nam
ed Bullard, of Columbus county, was
recently killed under circumstances
such as we are seldom called upon
to chronicle in real life, but which
are mainly reserved to intensity fc-
ton. The lady in question had a
suitor named Bullard, with whom
the brother of the damsel was not ia
vorably impressed sufficiently to war
rant his endorsement of prospective
union, Notwithstanding Juliet was
willing to take her Romeo for better
or for worse, so they had either to
resort to stratagem or abandon the
suit. Of course they chose the for
mer, but were pursued by the irate
brother, who coming in reach of
them, fred upon them, wounding the
sister. Nothing daunted, although
the girl was mortally wounded, they
proceeded to the house of the near
est magistrate, where twain were
made one flesh, when the lady died.
The young man has been arrested,
and is now in Whitcville jail. We
have no particulars.

From the New York Sum-
Catching a shark or the Battery.


George Goetz, tinsmith of 64
Greenwich street, for several years
fshed for Holsters off the long wharf
at the battery. When he drew his
nets on Friday evening they were
badly torn, and the bait was missing.
Then he got a cast-iron hook three
feet in length, with sharp prong on
the end, baited it with an immense
decomposed fish, attached to it a stout
rope, and threw it outside his nets.
A few minutes later a man near him
cried out, "Great God. George,
you've got a whale" The coil of
rope was running out with lightning
speed. The two men were unable to
hold the monster on the end of the
line, and called to some sailors near
by, and soon the wharf was covered
with men anxiously watching the
hauling in of the fish. 1t was a
shark eight feet seven inches in
length, and weighing over 300
pounds. Ten strong men lifted it
over the string piece. While try
ing to kill him Barney Gallon was
knocked overheard, and three men
were knocked down and badly
stunned. Mr.. Goetz sold the fsh to
Hugh McHugh, of 10 Battery place,
for $3.50, and, as 'longshoreman
said, "nearly the whole First Ward
called at his saloon to see it." Its
mouth when open was three feet in
diameter. There was corked soda
water bottle, part of an india rub
Der shoe, and piece of brickbat in
his stomach.

there are, however, who bicycle about wages,
and will refuse employment unless they can
dictate the compensation, the hours OF labor,
etc. In Owosso a certain laborer refused to do

while at the same time his wife works all day

was offered these men, but not solitary one
out of 1000 who had registered their names in

them demanded 80 cents per hour as the least
