On the 10th day Of October. 1873. in the swamp Of
Ty-Ty Creek near the north line of Colquitt county,
Ga. was discovered by one NJ d. Wilmington the re-
mains of some unknown human being. Tho place
where these remains were discovered was about
one hundred yards from the east sidc in
q broad oak swamp, about oncfourth of q
mile in width. Tho place where this discov-
cry was made was about thrce-fourths of
n mile from the residence Of any person and about
onehalf mile from any road. On tho oath day of Oc-
tober, 1878, f. Clark. acting coroner, with many
jury organized and tho Coroner proceeded with
HIS inquest but nftor long aud tedious examination
of lot Of old faded papers little information was
gained calculated to aid in the identification Of the
remains. There was small printed book found
among other papers that showed dates late
as is74. the same showing that the un.
known deceased had been In existence since
that date. We found the address of H. o. Statham,
Rome, Ga, also the address Of L. c. Statham,
Princeton, N. j. The following articles were also
found one violin and case, one satchel, single
patent lever silver watch, diploma case, two
es two pocket knives, three razors: eye glass,
soldering pipe, one pair nppcrs. pair forceps,
silver half dollar and aiubrotypc, about four
by six inches. bearing tho likeness Of beautiful girl
supposed to be from cght to twelve years Of age.
The articles in possession of tho unknown person tell
that he was matchmaker.
On the 2vth day of October, 1878, informed
that about two years ago there q man travelling
through the adjoining neighborhood calling his name

A CHICAGO EDISON.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean. October SOL
Mr.. A. Stempel. of this city. has made discovery
which BIDS fair to rival Edison. and thus Chicago will
assume its proper place and produce man who
promises to light heat and furnish water power for
the entire United States by immense and magniA-
cent scheme The plans and models in all their in
trcate detail, exhibition at Mr. stempels e.
tablshment, and some of them are illustrated for
the benefit of curious pedestrians, with daubs Of
green and black paint in his shop window.
It has always been urged that the production Of
electricity by steam could not bc made profitable, be-
1t could not be created cheap enough, but the
main reason says Mr.. Stempel s that they could only
create power light or heat at the end Of the con-
ductor That is. they could only produce one Light
or one quantity Of power-in other wSrds, 1t could
not be distributed in small quantities.
Mr.. Stempel says that Edison discovered that be
could take of any amount Of electricity from the
main conductor for heat, light and power purposes.
Edison claims that he viii get hs electricity BY
friction, and proposes to steam power TO be con-
vertcd into electricity. But Mr. Stempel goes one
higher than Edison His proposition that the tides
OF the can furnish q constant unlimited power
which can be by friction converted into any amount
of electricity for the purpose Of cresting light.
heat and power for the use Of man. He
proposes to build immense basins In the
in the shallow water Of inlet the Shore where
there high floods. He proposes to build two walls
the mouth Of tho inlet to shut of the sea- the other
certain distance apart to divide the inlet into two
tremendous basins Each wall will have foodgate
through which, when open the can flow in. AT
high tide the oodgate nearest the land is shut SIX
hours after at ebbtide the gate of the oater basin
full Of water Smaller gates in the wali OF the
first basin are then opened, and the water rushes
through. turning it runs thousand turbine
wheels. which, in their turn keep in motion the cleo
trical machines from which he proposes TO gencrate
sufficient electricity to furnish the entire country
win be- according to a careful estimate only about
000 and he proposes to bring tho matter be
fore Congress Mt its next session. and urge upon tho
democrats to In for this scheme instead Of paying
the rebel debt and claims.

MYSTERIOUS PRISONERS.

Three prisoners brought into Jefferson Market
Police Court most mysteriously and kept in the Ser
geants by the detectives with strict instructions
to the officers that nobody should be allowed to speak
to them. 1t was rumored that they arrested on
suspicion of being Manhattan Bank burglars and this
was believed when Judge Morgan went into his pri-
vate room with the three prisoners and one
Of the detectives. It turned out however,
that Qhll this mystery was only ridiculously
on suspicion Of having been connected with a
burglary which took place Mt No. 1913 Greene street
some time ago. The captives were Billy Redmond,
Charley Chambers and Ed Smith. Judge Morgan
asked to remand them, in the hope that man who Is
now in the Tombs for that robbery would peach upon
captured. Smith let co. and the other
two were remanded. Judge Morgan whose advice
sought in the matter. declined to give any. He
thought the detectives ought to understand the ques
ton much better than he. He recommended them to
60 to the District Attorney for instructions.

Perouse and Papal Chamberlain.
He is one of the two candidates
upon whom Ythe moderate party
rested their hopes of peace and good
will in the future adjustment of
delicate and difficult relations be-
tween The temporal and the occlesi--
astical power, both in Italy and
throughout Europe, Cardinal Fran
CHI being tho other. He is known
to consider unfortunate the position
of the ohurcn in Italy, as the result
Of misnanagement, and to believe
there is no necessity for continuing
the strife. Personally he is desclibed
tall, thin, aristocr..tic in appearA nee,
carrying himself with great digrity.
His voice is disagreeable but power
full. While simple in manners, he
invests his Office, with pomp and
splendor beyond that shown by
other Cardinals in public. He was
elected Bishop Of Beringia, january
19, 1846, and created Cardinal
December 10, 1853. He is spoken
of as q man Of high intellect of u
we'll tried and energetic nature.
His Holiness has made not only an
excellent bishop, but realized the
type Of a perfect cardinal. AS an
administrator he managed to clear
Benevento Of smuggling and brig
andage, as we'll rs of the underhand
intrigues of the party of the nobility.
AS IL man Of intelligence he does not
regard with such bessimist eye rs
his colleagues the reciprocal rela-
tions of the church and society. He
has evidently found a solution in his
own mind for existing and eventual
difficulties. His position as Gamer
lingo (chamberlain) was certainly
not favorable to his chances of elec>
tion to the Papal throne, but he
occupied it so short a time that he
has not had time to create any jeal-
ousies or enmities.
