A Discovery I'm Photography.
[Pittsburg Post.l

Mr.. d. Mahau, photographer, 4s Fifth av-
enue, has recently made great discovery in
the line of photography, by which photo
graphs can be taken instantaneously and in
any kind of weather. The great objection
that many have of getting photographs
taken is on account Of having to sit in one
position from one to two minutes. This
will now be overcome by Mr.. Mahan's new
process We were shown a number of pic
lures taken by Mr.. Mahan in the wonder
fully short space of two seconds, which are
as fine specimens of Photographic art ever
was produced in America. The attention of
the British Photographic association has
been called to Mr.. Mahan's process, who
have pronounced it to be the most useful in
vention ever introduced in the Photographic
line, and the Philadelphia Photographic as
ISOLATION have also been strong in their
praise of Mr.. Mahans new process.

Frafernal Address to the General
Council Of the Reformed Episcopal
Church.

Delivered at the. session Of that Council in
Newark, New Jersey, by Rev. r. n. Davies,
May, 1873
DEAR FATHERS AND BRETHREN-I am here
tonight as the fralernal delegate of the
Methodist Episcopal church, bearing to you
the Christian greeting of over ii, 600 minis
ters, and over 1600, 900 members. Ny mis-
sion is not one of diplomatic scheming, nor
of empty political formallty, but of sincere,
hearty Christian sympathy. 1t bas triple
origin, coming; from the charity which think
eth no evil, from the communion of saints,
and from the yoke fellowship of the gospel
1t is q visit from the oldest of all OF the
Protestant Episcopal churches of America
to the Reformed Episcopal church, our
youngest sister. The Methodist Episcopal
church has not been an Indifferent observer
of the labors, trials, and struggles of your

membership by the scores Of millions. The

though it did not number hundred souls
Nor is any specific form of government es-
sential to the integrity of the church. It is
not COngrega l0nallSfH, nor Presbyterian
ism, nor Episcopacy, that constitute the
house of God; but faith in Christ, purity of
heart and life, spiritual worship, and activ-
ity in the salvation OF souls. Nor is an un
broken transmission OF human authority es-
sential to the existence of the church. An
apostolic succession in Office, even were it
possible to prove it, is a miserable substitute
for apostolic faith, purity, and power. But
these are essential features, by which the
true church may be known, and by which
it may be distinguished from all apostate
and false churches around it; and
we rejoice to recognize in you these
features of q true church Of
Christ. Not apostolic succession,
but apostolical works are the evidences of
true Christian succession. Such is the Christ
given rule. Speaking of prophets, teachers
he said: .Ye shall know them by their
fruits" A short, plain, easy rule, whereby
to know true from false prophets. Tried by
this rule, Peter would be preferred before

Slumhering Plants.

1t is well known that plants sleep at
night; but their hours of sleeping are a
matter of habit, and may be disturbed
artificialIy, just as a cock may be walked
up to crow at untimely hours by the
light of lantern. A French chemist
subjected n sensitive plant to an exceed
ingly trying course of discipline by
completely changing its hours-expos-
ing it to bright light at night, so as to
prevent sleep, and putting it in dark
room during the day. The plant ap-
peared to be much disturbed and puz-
zled at first. 1t opened and closed it's
leaves irregularly, sometimes nodding,
in spite of the artificial sun that spread
its beams at midnight, and sometimes
waking up, from the force of habit, to
find the chamber dark in spite of the
time OF day. Such are the trammels of
habit. But, after an obvious struggle,
the plant submitted to the change, and
turned day into night without any APP
parent results.-Sprina,fetd Union.

A Tremendous Cave.

Some time ago Mr.. Neff, residing
near Alexandria, Huntingdon county.
this State, went to his well to get a
drink and found it dry. He then went
down into the we'll to make repairs. and
was much surprised to find not a pint of
water, and the bottom fallen out. A
cool breeze blew up strong enough to
rustic the leaves of tree standing near.
He tied lantern to a rope 100 feet long
and Let it down, and, as the lantern still
burned he rightly concluded that the
air was pure. He then procured spliced
rope 300 feet in length, and to the end
attached basket containing lantern.
a dog and cat. He let them down
striking bottom at 291 feet. At the end
OF Six hours the basket was brought up.
The lantern was still burning, and the
only visible effect ON the dog and the
cat was chilliness. The next day the
owner of the well, accompanied by a
trusty neighbor, Mr.. Lefford, descended
to the bottom. What was their surprise
to find an immense cave, stretching
miles and miles in every direction

When We DemoralIze the stomach

BY excuses or imprudence in eating, we can
not hope to escape the consequences for any
great length Of time. The most robust diges-
ton must succumb to abuses Of that important
function. But, supposing that We have been
foolish enough to enfeebie the stomach, is the
damage irreparable2 BY no means. The dys-
peptic has only to do two things to insure his
ultimate recovery. First he should adopt an
easily digestible diet Second, he should use

pepsia, and the almost invariably attendant

inflicts will neglect to take advantage of q

Ready for ResurrectiOnists.

The death of Miss Susan Shepherd,
of Wayne township, last week, cast a
gloom over the entire community in
which she lived and was 80 well and
favorably known. Her funeral took
place on Tuesday from the residence of
her parents, and was unusually largely
attended. The deceased was of un-
usual refinement and social culture, and
possessed those womanly virtues to an
eminent degree which go 80 far to make
womanhood honorable and honored.
She was a member of the choir and
Sabbath-school of the M. E. Church at
Osborn, and her demise leaves a va
cancy which cannot be easily filed,
Miss Shepherds disease was of char
acter to battle the skill of the best medi-
cal talent of that vicinity and of Osborn,
and there was, it is said, great diversity
OF opinion as to the proper mode of
treatment. After her death her family
offered the attending physicians an OPP
portunity OF making an autopsy, but
they did not avail themselves of the
privilege. The friends of the deceased
seemed to feel that they had just reason
to fear that her body would be ex-
humed, and the thought of her grave
being robbed grew upon them so
strongly and was so repulsive to them
that as matter of safety and precau.
ton it was thought best to inter her re-
mains in grave in the yard at her
parents residence, instead of in the
at Osborn. Accordingly a
grave was dug in the yard, few feet
from the front door of the residence,
and her remains lie beneath the beau
tiful flowers and evergreens which she
had loved so well, and which had been
cultivated and reared by her own fair
hands. To make assurance doubly
sure that her grave would not be de-
spoiled, o quantity of nitro glycerine
was 80 placed in the grave that should
yhouls attempt to rob it they would be
hoisted by petard that would eff.
end their infamous career.
