BLUE Az sUN LIGHTS.

To premise, then, Gen. Pleasonton, the au-
thor book in question, was not the famous
cavalry leader during the war, as has been
quite generally supposed, but is his elder
brother. The cavalry leader is General
Alfred Pleasonton, while the discovcrer of
the blue light theory is Gen. Augustus J..
Pleasonton. He is a graduate of West
Point; was in the regular army for some
time, from which he resigned; during the
war he was a Brigadier- General of Pennsyl-
vania militia, and was selected to organize
a body of 10000 men within the State for
use in emergencies. He is lawyer of
prominence in Philadelphia. gentleman
of culture, wealth and refinement. Owning
a farm outside of the city, he, in 1860,
commenced to experiment upon his theory
regarding the different colors in the suns
rays, and their effects upon vegetable and
animal life. Experiments made in Europe
had already demonstrated that the blue
rays of the suns light had greater chemi-
cal powers than any of the others, develop
ed greater amount of heat, and were
especially stimulating to vegetation. But
these experiments had been barren of prac-
teal results, and Gen. Pleasonton was left
to his own resources to carry out his ideas.
He built a larger grapery, covered with
glass, every eight rows of which was blue.
By this arrangement, the sun, in making

CAST A BLUE RAY OF LIGHT

Upon every plant and leaf within the Crap
gerry. In April, 1861, he set out twenty
varieties Of grape vines in his grapery, all
the cuttings being one year old, the size
of pipe stem, and cut close 10 the ground.
The vines soon began to show most Wig
orous growth, and in few weeks the gra-
perry was filled with vines and foliage. BY
September-or five months after setting
the scotsman who had furnished the cut
tings made measurements, and found that
the vines had grown As feet in length, and
were an inch in diameter foot above the
ground. These vines attracted great at
tention in the neighborhood, but it was
predicted that, owing to this unusual
growth, they would not bear fruit. Next
year, however, the vines displayed the same
vigorous growth, and, in addition, bore
over 1909 pound of luscious grapes of un-
usual size. This was more astonishing to
horticulturists than the growth of the vines,
but from that day to this the vines have
kept up the same vigorous growth, being
entirely free from disease and destructive
insects, and bearing with proportionate
prolifcness. How remarkable this result
is will be appreciated when it is known
that in grape-growing countries the vines
do not bear fruit until the fifth or sixth
year. Having been so successful in his
first experiment with vegetable life, Gen.
Pleasonton next tried the effect of

BLUE LIGHT UPON ANIMALS


HI first experiment was with litter of
pigs, which he placed in a pen. which was
lighted by blue and plain glass inserted in
the roof in equal proportions. This litter
gained wonderfully in weight, size, and
strength, and, at the end of few months,
were found to weigh very much more than
a similar litter raised in the usual way He
next experimental with an Attorney bull
calf, which was SO puny and weak at its
birth that the manager of the farm said it
could not live. It was put under blue
glass, and in twenty-four hours it was able
to stand up, and was Taught to drink milk;
IN four months it was perfectly developed
bull, strong and vigorous, and was TUNED
in with herd of COWS, and has since full
filled every expectation regarding him.
Subsequently other experiments gave him
confidence, and now all his cattle are rails
ed under blue glass, showing great vigor
and the most surprising precocity. A
heifer becomes mother when fourteen
months old, and the COWS and their pro-
geny are healthy and strong, and the for
mer are great mixers. 1t is generally
held that heifers should not bear young
until they are four years old, but, under
the influence of blue glass, they do SO with
out injury when eighteen months old, thus
saving the expense of keeping them through
two and a half years. The beneficial effect
of the associated plain and blue rays of the
suns light upon vegetable and animal life
having been demonstrated, to the wonder
and amusement of all who had observed
the experiments, their effect was tried upon
VARIOUS SICK PERSONS.
The most astonishing results have been
obtained, which are certified to in such a
manner as to leave no doubt regarding
them. Commodore Goldsborough, who
had read something regarding Gen. Plea
sonton's discovery, relates the case of a lady
who prematurely gave birth to child,
which was weak and puny, weighing but
three and a half pounds at birth. There
were blue curtains to the windows of the
room in which the child was reared. and
these were arranged SO that the light enter
Ing the room came about equally through
the blue curtains and the plain glass of the
windows. The child began to thrive, de-
veloped a tremendous appetite, while the
lacteal system of the mother was greatly |
excited, and her supply of milk greatly in

Four years ago she was afflicted with vio-
lent attack of spinal MENINGITIS. Her suf-
ferings were indescribable, but continuous.
Every conceivable remedy has been re-
sorted to during these four years, but the
patient received no benefit. Her nervous
system at last became SO disordered that
the slightest sound or the most gentle agi-
tation of the air threw her into the most
agonizing suffering. Shewas wasted away
in flesh, could not sleep at night, had no
appetite, and her life was despaired of
Hearing of Gen. Pleasonton's discovery in
associated lights, her parents determined
to try it. A bay window was fitted with
alternate panes of blue and plane glass, and
the young lady sat daily in the light which
streamed through them. Her physicians,
of course, laughed at the idea, pronounced
the whole thing humbng, ETC., as is the
habit of professional gentlemen whenever
any new idea is preached. The physician
was dismissed and the young lady retired
wholly upon the blue glass treatment for
her restoration to health. The lady says
that on entering the room thus lighted the
pains from which she was suffering almost
Immediately ceased. They would return
IN a modified form on leaving the room,
but grew less from day to day. Very soon
her condition began to improve, her appe-
tite returned, and with it her strength; she
began to gain flesh, her sIeepIessness dis
and, in short, she was speedily
restored to health.

By the death Of +. j. White, the
OGirt f Circuit Clerk has bee M
vacant, and though it may be filled
temporarily by the Governors APP
pninrmcnt, still, there will certain
~ be au election IN the ronrSc OF
thirty days or more, iol the pnr.
pose OF filling the vacancy for the
u~ncxpired term. Such being the
case, ! deem no time more proper
or Opportune than the present for
us to calmly consider and select
some man who is peculiarly fitted
for this position. In the selection,
a MAI of intelligence, honesty, en-
ergy and activity, with sufficient Ie.
gal knowledge, should be chosen to
fill the vacancy, for should the ad
ministration of the unexpired term
prove satisfactory to the people, it
should, and will, no doubt, amount
to o reelection at the next regular
election. As a person pre.eminent-
ly suited, fitted and qualified to fill
this office, would suggest the name
of Mr.. 4. ]. Ross.
Mr.. Ross, in the first place, is
justly entitled to the character he
has in this county, Of being an OK
emplary young man; moral, sober
and attentive. Then he is young,
active, energetic and diligent, and,
by all means, qualified to fill the
position. A graduate Of dlstinc-
ton in the collegiate department of
our State University, and a Bache-
Tor Of Laws Of Cumberland Uni
versity, with his license to practice
in all the courts Of this State and
Tennessee, no objections as to quail
iticatiOns car certainly be raised a.
gainst him. / deem that the mntel.
ligence and honesty" of Noxubee
courty is not of hal kind in whose
minds the "sweets of kindness la
vishly INDUCED rankle to gall."-
Mr. Ross, on the score of gratitude,
deserves any position in tie gift of
the people Of Noxnbee. AS Secre-
tary Of the Democratic Executive
Committee, he devoted his time,
energies and money, to the rcdemp-
ton Of our county and State, tor
none OF which he has received full
compensation. AS in all counties,
so in Noxubee we have o little jeal-
Ousy between the town and coun-
try, as to the election of officers
Mr.. Ross, / think, would come as
near %reconciling this difference as
any man in our county, if he did
not effect it entirely, for Macon has
barely claims sufficient upon HIM
to justify her in calling him a citi-
zen, while the country and X-Prai,
rie especially, the home of his birth,
youth and manhood, has as strong
claims upon him as can be thrown
around a man.
Then, | say, if Noxubce wishes
to reward honesty, capability, fidel-
ity and merit, and wishes to be
grateful, let her put T, J. Ross
where he deserves to be, in the Of
fee Of the Circuit Clerk.

Death Of Rev, T. A. Taylor.

We are again called upon to
chronicle the death Of an old and
respectable citizen of the county.
He departed this life Saturday, May
9Th, after a proctractcd illness, his
~enfcebIcd frame yielding to a con-.
~plication of diseases. For several
years past, his failing health has
prevented him from engaging ac-
lively in his pursuits, which was
irksome to him. as he was natural
ly a man Of great energy. Hc was
one of the oldest settlers OF the
county and leaves a largo circle Of
relatives and friends.
He was buried Sunday evening
ut the family burrying ground, by
the Masonic Lodge, many of the
citizens of the surrounding country
being present.
A good citizen, an earnes preach
er of the gospel, ha' performed his
work aud gone to his reward.
