The Graves of the Great in Paris.

The more interesting sights of Paris
are associated with its older history, and
With the taste and luxury of its present
pe-'od. Every person who visits Paris
Iep4;rs presently to Les Invalides, to see
the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte. 1t is
~azueture that would inspire awe even
if it were not associated with that gilt
tering name, and that grand, terrible,
pathetic memory. The gloom of the
crypt in which it is sunk; the sepulchral
character of the mysterious emblematic
figures which surround it. 9 Staring
right on with calm, eternal eyes," the
grandeur Of the dome which rises above
it, and its own vast size and deathly
shape-all these characteristics unite to
make It a most impressive object, apart
from the observers knowledge of the
thrilling fact that in this great red sand
stone coffin rests at last, after the stormi-
est of all human lives, the ashes of the
most vital man of action that has lived
in medern times. Twas even more deeply
affected, though, by the sight of the
tombs of Voltaire and Rousseau in the
vaults beneath the Pantheon. No de-
vice more opposite or more startling
could have been adopted than that which
confronts you on the front of Rousseau S
tomb. The door is just ajar, and out of
it issues an arm and hand grasping a
lighted torch. 1t was almost as if the
dead had spoken with living voice, to
see that fatefgl symbol of power OF
thought and passion which never can
die-while human hearts remain Auman.
There is a fine statue of Voltaire in the
vault that holds his tomb. The mauso
leums are said to be commemorative
merely-the bodies of Voltaire and Rous-
seau having been either detroyed with
quickiime or stolen away from their
place of supulcher. Other tombs ol
departed greatness / found in Pere Is

side by side. Racine is g neighbor tC

Electric CandIes---Gas Susper-
seded.

Among other battles at which one as
sists this moment in France is that
between electric candles and gaslight.
Yesterday evening visited this peculiar
candle mandatory, in the Avenue des
Villiers, the director of which Is
Russian engineer and also the inventor,
NJ. Joblockoff. Now, as Voltaire OBJ
served, light comes from the north. The
laboratory is hung with pictures and
colored stuffs, which can be as easily
distinguished in their shades as If in full
MONDAY. The candles have the same
ratio to gas and oil lamps as sun to
moonlight. The inventor poured some
glasses of water on the fame of his dips,
but they burned away all the same.
They emit no smoke, and consequently
can not blacken objects, nor any heat
$50 times less than an ordinary candle
hence books will not fall out OF their
bindings, nor tapestry turn into black
snuff. There can be no fire, no explo'
sions, and the light can be laid on some
three to fifteen times cheaper than gas OF
oil light. The light does net tremble ol
twinkle much, and none at all if it passes
through a7globe slightly Opaque. The
candle is Composed of two cylindrica
sticks of charcoal, separated by prep
aratien of sand, ground glass and kaolin
a maeneto-electro machine furnishes th'
current, which flows from one point Il
the other of the charcoal rods. Eacl
candle burns three hours, and the ex
tinction of one lights up another. w

as the proof of the pudding is in the eat

The Arms of the Turks.

There seems to be some misconception
of he>American arms used by the Turks
with y ch effect in their CONT with
Russia. The Worcester Spy points out
some of the errors into which its con-
temporaries have fallen. The peculiari-
ties of the HenAy-Martini rife
are confounded with those Of the
Winchester repeating rife (heretotore
called the Henry repeating rihe), in
vented by an American army officer
named Henry. The Winchester has a
magazine under the barrel which holds
fifteen charges. The Henry-Martini
rife was invented by Alexander Henry,
of Edinburgh, Scotland. 1t is his rife,
with T. Martini action; but il can not
be deZharged sixteen times wiAout re-
loading; on the contrary, it is loaded
with a single cartridge in a metallic
case. This rife can be fired from thirty.
eight to forty times per minute and il
celebrated for its accuracy at long range
twenty successive shots at l 200 yards
have been put in target of q feet. Il
is the Winchester that repeats without
reloading.
The Turkish army is equipped will
the Henry Martini rifles, manufactured
by the Providence Tool company, which
has been making them for the Turkisl
government for years. They are mad
by no other manufacturers in the Unitec
States, we believe. The first contrac
was for 100000; it was extended to 400
oOO and then to 100000, and now, ac
cording to rumor, it has been extende
to 5000. The Tool company, fo
reasons, now call the rife the Peabody
Martini.

THE WAR.

A French officer from the fronts re-
ports hearing Gen. Ignatief say, short
time ago We wanted TO drive the
Turks out of Europe, but things look as
if we should share that fate ourselves.
A correspondent of the London Times
calls attention to the fact that though
the Russians complain of Turkish atroci-
ties. vet we do not hear of any prisoners
having been taken by the Russians at
Loyatz, where it is said all OF the Turkish
wounded were slaughtered.
A Belgrade special says the cabitet has
unanimously and definitely agreed upon
the terms of an agreement with Russia.
This probably refers to the agreement
concerning the subsidy of a million rou-
bles to be paid Servia monthly from the
time her army is sent to the frontier.
Troops are continuously marching to the
frontier, ready fer an.6offensive move
ment on the part of the Turks.
The Russians have commenced paral'
lels before Plevna under the superintend-
ence of Gen. Todleben. The heavy
masses of troops which are being sent to
Bulgaria certainly indicate their purpose
to prosecute active operations during the
autumn, as the Russians do not need
these reinforcements to retain then
present positions. A Belgade CORE
spondent says he hears from a diplomatic
source that the porte has demanded an
explanation regarding Servia's purpose
in arming and negotiating with Russia
and Roumania. The porte will be Obliged
to send special commissioner to Belgrade
TO inquire whether its Suezeram rights
are not being tampered with. AL the
first-c militia brigades, except those
of Belgrade, Shabatia and Villae have
marched to the frontier. The second
class will follow - ten days Mort
money. and several hundred boxes OF SHOES
have arrived from Russia. The negotla
tions with Russia have at last come TO {
satisfactory close, and the cabinet ano
council have resolved upon warlike meas
ures, though not before the middle O
November.

Sumter Might Have Been ST.
lenccd.

It is pertinent for me, professionally,to
remark that, had the Fedaral naval attack
ON Fort Sumter on the 9th of April, 1863,
been made at night, while the feet could
have easily approached near enough to
see the fort-a large, lofty object covering
several acres-the monitors which were
relatively so small and low on the water
could not have been seen from the fort.
1t would have been impossible, therefore
for the latter to have returned with any
accuracy the fire of the feet, and this
plan of attack could have been repeated
every night until the walls of the fort
should have crumbled Ehder the enor.

half feet deep in the walls and shattered

day the damages of the night, and l an

been disabled and silenced in a few days

Archives of the Southern Con-
fedeRcy.

In his 2eport to congress SEE tSetary
McCrar1Pwill iDclue review Os>the
condition of the woK of compiling the
archives of the southern confederacy.
Six thousand dollarswere appropriated
last winter for the pa. of clerks engaged
in this work. The OBJECT of the compi-
lation and classification is to have the
archives published a. public documents.
The work of preparing them is about
half completed. 1t is in charge of Adju-
tant General Townand. In 1865 Gen
eral Townsend set out from Washington
to Charleston, and from there suggested
to Secretary Stanton the necessity and
Importance of collecting all the rebel
documents for future record and pre-
servatiOn. Secretary Stanton authorized
General Townsend to make the collec-
tions in his department, and instructed
General Halleck, at Richmond, at the
same time to gather all that he could at
that place. The result was that great
mass of material has been forwarded to
Washington for safe-keeping. AT first
work was begun upon the documents to
classify them for historical uses only.
Afterward the work of classifying them
was intrusted to Gen. Townsend, who
has had charge of the work ever since.
He has not discarded any of the papers,
but has merly classified them The
manner of procedure at present Is to
print all the documents examined for the
convenience of the examiner, who can
handle and classify them much better in
proof slips. He then pastea them to-
gether according to their classification.
They will be sent into congress in this
shape, where it will depend upen that
body to what extent they will be pub
lished for public benefit Those archives
are of the same use TO the government
in detecting fraudulent claims as are the
union archives against northorn claim
ants. Gen. Townsend says that the
rebel archives captured furnished the
testimony that was absolutely necessary
to secure the Alabama award, namely,
that the Alabama was fitted out by
British merchants. 1t was also shown
by these same recerds that the vessel was
manned by English sailors. In this one
case alone millions of dollars were saved
to this government. Numerous applica-
tions have been made by the southern
states to have these records restored to
them, but thus far the government
| has refused to give them up. Now that
congress is getting to have so large
southern element in it, it is feared that
there will be an attempt made to gel
these archives away. The best method
to avoid this is publication. The pres
ence of these records has been very
obnoxious to a certain class of southern
claim agents. The authorities have al
along used these records to aid them II
establishing the question of the loyalty
or disloyalty of the claimants. 1bl
has, however, been only an incidents
use of these records, whose main value
in the time to come will be historical
The publication of them in the congres
sional documents will place them at tn
disposal of every student in the country
