THE TRUE ANTIPoDAL P0INTs.-A writer
in one Of the scientific journals argues that
the common idea prevailing in regard to
what are called geographical antipodes is IN
fact erroneous. That to the occupants OF
the earth's surface " down" means in a
vertical direction to the earth's centre, and
real antipodal points where straight line
passed through the centre OF the earth cuts
the surface. Then it Is evident, says the
writer, that the antipodes Of any place in
the northern hemisphere must lie in the
southern hemisphere; the latitude of an
tipodal points will be the same, but one will
be north and the other south. and the longi-
tude will differ by enc hundred and eighty
degrees. Thus the antipodal point OF San
Francisco is in the southern Indian ocean,
almost one thousand miles southeast Of the
island OF Madagascar; the point opposite
New York is also in the southern Indian
ocean, about five hundred miles southeast
of Australia; the point opposite Pekin is
in northern Patagonia; and u shaft from
San Francisco which would reach Pekin
must pitch to the west and make an angle
with the vertical OF about thirty-nine and
and three-fourths degrees.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE WITH SoMNAM-
BUL1sT.-- Brooklyn, September 2S.-A police
man at Williamsburg early this morning
found a woman clad in night garments
wandering in the street. He watched her
and saw her enter an unoccupied house.
She sprang through the window, running
up the stairs and reached the third floor
before the officer could pass into the build
ing. Looking up he saw the victim up
open one OF the window. blinds, swinging
OF, it to reach the gutter on the roof and lift
herself to 1t. Mortified, he stood silent
spectator OF the act-he dared not call out
lest he would wake the. somnambulist and
cause her death. After walking on the roof
awhile the woman descended to the side
walk. There she awoke and was assisted,
worn out with excitement, to her home, on
Scholes street. The woman is the wife OF
an employee in one OF the breWerles on that
street. Her husband says she used TO walk
in sleep when child. For years she was
free from the habit. 1t is only lately, after
the death Of her child, that she began to
walk about.

CIuPEPER COUNTY.

CULPEPER, September %, 1878.
Editors dispatch: The mysterious and
tedious murder case mentioned in my last,
and which has been monopoiiZing our
Quarterly Court for the last ten days. came
to an end this evening "by verdict OF not
guilty." This case, you remember, was tne
Commonwealth Us. Hawkins, for murder OF
Willie Turner, boy some twelve years ola.
A large number Of witnesses were examined
for the Commonwealth, but nothing proveo
save what was admitted by Hawkins, Whlcn
was that he and Turner left StrlngleiloW,s
together on the evening OF Tuesday the IT'D
of June-the night OF the supposed murder.
All else was circumStantia. Turner'S body
was not found until the Sunday following,
and then in field not more than half mile
from Hawkins's fathers dwelling, and In
full sight OF 1.-THE head severed from the
body. This boy Turner was the son OF a
poor woman living near by Mr.. Strinsfel-
lows, with whom the boy lived by the year.
IT did not appear that he had any enemies,
or had done anything worthy Of punish
ment, and vet he was murdered IN cold
blood. The threats that were said to nave
been made by Hawkins on the trial proved
to be only trivial expressions in reference TO
some tale the boy had told on him. The
witnesses who testified to these threats, ana
also to Hawkins's admitting be had Killed
Turner and where his BODY was TO De 1ound
lthis was young StringfelloW,s testlmonyb
so contradicted themselves and tangled their
evidence that little or no confidence was
placed in their statements. Nor was there
any evidence given going to prove anything
relative to the murder at all. Even the doc
tors disagreed as to whether hole found in
the skull was made by a pistol-ball or not.
So the whole case stands now, after long and
searching investigation, just as it did when
il first commenced. Willie Turner has been
killed, but for what or by whom no one can
say. .,,.
with prospects for another tonight. Il.

e WASHINGTON, September 3O.-A dispatch
received at the State Department from our
consul at Barcelona, dated September 9th,
says: Henceforth all captains Of vessels
entering this port with cargo are subject
to pay one per cent. on their entire freight
to either their brokers or consignees, for
guarantee of manifest. Up to within three
months the manifest had only to be signed
by the captain, but rs several errors haYe
been discovered in manifests OF ships which
had long left port--errors which imposed
fines or more charges on the yessel-and
the customs not having the means Of
trucking the vessel, the Government has or
dered that all manifests should be signed by
the resident broker or consignee, who
would be held responsible for anything
wrong found after the ships sailing. AS
the correctness of the manifest depends en-
tireIy on the captain, the broker or con-
signee charges one per cent. OF the entire
freight for responsibility.
