Drawing a meridlan Lie.

OF the various ways of drawing a
meridian, or true north and south line,
the simplest, perhaps, where no great,
accuracy ia required, is that which in.
wolves double attitudes Of the sun. The
plan is as follows: Take a level board
and describe upon it a number of con.
centric circles, In the center OF these
circles fix a slender metal rod or wire,
three or four inches long, and exactly
perpendicular to the surface of the board.
Place the board on q window ledge, a
pillar or other suitable place with q south.
ern aspect, make it perfectly horizontal,
and fasten firmly. Between nine and
ten in the forenoon mark the point where
the end Of the shadow of the rod touches
one of the circles. In the afternoon
make a similar mark where the point oil
the shadow again touches the same cir
Gle, and draw lines from these two points
to the center. Then the line biseetine
this angle will be the meridian line re-
quired. The best times for using this
mothod are at the summer and winter
solstices, when the suns d~eelination il
practically constant. The most suitable
days this year, therefore, are June goth,
2lst and I'D, and December 2lst and
22d.

John shermnn,s Record.

tits interesting to mark John Sher.
mans progress in crime. Take for the
first step bis reply to the Democratic
visitors to Louisiana, when they asked
him to unite with them to insure a fair
count:
I'VE are here as private citizens, with
no official powers. We, therefore, can.
not supercsde or modify any law of that
State. Nor have we any right to control
or influence any Of its officers as to the
manner in which they shall perform min.
%isterial or judicial duties imposed upon
them by its laws; and should we, being
strangers aud without official functions,
attempt this, we should be condemned
by the people Of every State 10 the
Union for the improper interference
with local administration.
JOHN SHERMAN AND OTHERS
Contrast with this his declaration
made to a reporter Of the Republican Of
this city on the l4th of last month:
II went to Louisiana to supervise the
count Of the vote"
Next in order is his impudent letter to
Mr.. Potter, defying him TO a bottom
fact nvestiEation-a piece of bravado
that excited the unstinted praise of the
Radical organs. In this he says:
To my personal conduct during this
examination | invite your fair aud can.
did scrutiny, with entire confidence that
not only myself, but my associates of
both political parties, acted honestly and
properly from a sense Of public duty"
As late as last February he wrote to
the editor of the Philadelphia Times as
fellows:
You are mistaken in one thing, and
that is, that | ever wrete q letter TO An.
derson, or ever did anything in Louisi-
ana which could ever be construed into
wrong. l believe the element in Louisi-
ana that ia endeavoring to stir up these
prosecutions now acknowledge that they
cannot assail me, except by forgery or
perjury. They sought to do this through
Anderson and q Mrs. jerks, but this
utterlsy failed; and | have now letters
from each of them that no such letter
was received or was ever written"
Contrast with all of this, his testi.
mony Of last Saturday, and observe
what a shutting, e~vasive, m~ean.spirited
wretch this boosted braggaFt has become:
II can only say this, that | believe,
upon my responsibility and the oath that
l have taken that ! never wrote such a
letter. If this letter was written, il
must have been, if | am not mistaken
about the dates, on the day when the re.
turning officers first convened TO open
the returns. 1t think it was on the goth.
At that time l knew but little about the
transactions. The papers had not been
opened. do not believe | ever wrote
that letter. At the same time there are
things in this letter that | would have
written to these or any other men who
were engaged in the performance of
what | believed to be their duty, if / had
been sskedt but | do not believe | wrote
that letter."

In Their FoOd-The WOuld.be Mur.
derer Gives Overdoses and Fails
OF His Horrible Purpose.
Nashville American. 1Sth.l
The news tbatD. Il. Bailey aud family,
living on the GallAtin pike, Just beyond
the Edgefeld corporation line, had been
poisoned, spread like vild6re through
the city yesterday morning. 1t appears
that Mr.. Bailey and his family had eaten
their breakfast as usual, and Mr.. Bailey,
who is Of the firm Of Bailey, Davis & Co.,
had come over TO the store on South
Market street, Here be was seized With
violent vomiting. he had hardly been
attacked before an almost b~reathless
messenger ran into the store and told
him to come home at once, as his whole
family, including the servants, had been
taken with a desthly sickness. He went
home at once, taking with him a physi.
clan, and found the report to be true.
The doctor said that all had been pois-
oRed with arsenic, but so much Of it had
been used and taken that it had itself
acted as an emetic and was thrown
from the stomach. Mr.. Bailey, his wife,
her sister, Mrs. Ramsey, Hans Wilker.
son, his son.in.law, and wife, Robert
Hawkins, another son in Law, and wife,
Miss Holt, a child and three servants,
twelve in all, we're poisoned. Every one,
IN fact, that had partaken Of TIE food
cooked that morning was Frustrated.
Young Dan Bailey, who did not eat food
cooked that morning. was the oaly per-
son not affected.
Robert Hawkins, like Mr.. Bailey, had
started over to Nashville to begin his
days business, when he was seized with
vomiting and was taken to his mother 8
residence. His wife, who had partially
recovered. and who had not been SO sc.
verely attacked as her husband, went to
him in the afternoon, but found herself
unable to sit up. Mr.. Hawkins was do.
ing we'll last evening.
ALI those poisoned were resting well
at eleven o'clock last night, and it was
thought that they would recover.
The only way that the presence Of the
poisoned food could be accounted fol
was that some one had come into the
kitchen Sunday night, and put it into
the food that had been provided tina
night for the morning breakfast. The
kitchen door, too, had been left open
making it easy for any one so disposed
to perpetrate his or her murderous de
sign.

A gentleman from Grand Rapids,
Mich, who has made a tour Of
Switzerland recently, has written a
paper as to the military system of
that nation, from which we extract
the following; Switzerland has
no standing army. Every Switzer
is a soldier, with rifle and uniform
at home, and he is a sharp.shooter.
He drills twice a year, and when
his country calls, he is bound to
serve-each canton summoninr her
quota and presenting her force
where wanted in an incredibly short
time. The government at Berne
can call out 202,S00 soldiers at
once, and can increase the number
to 100000 in a few days more"

Among the passengers who arrived at

Mr.. Jesse r. Grant, who left this coun.
try with his parents when the latter
sailed from Philadelphia last year. The

employees Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to despatch the bulk Of bis
baggage to Washington, he drove to the

will go to Denmark, Sweden, Norway
and Russia during the warm summer
months, and after visiting Holland, Bel.
GUM and other places on his return, will
manage to spend the winter months in
the South Of Europe, very likely in
Spain. He will remain there long
enough to avoid the inclement weather
OF the North, aud then return to Paris in
the beginning Of spring, and thence to
this country"
"Of course he is interested in the af
fairs OF this country" remarked the re
porter, laughingly.

takes a very deep interest in all that

grams regarding the kaiser:
THE emperor turned over on bis right

again" THE emperor hit his crazy
bone against the h~eadboard of his bed
in endeavoring to raise himself, but it is
not believed he will suffer more than q
temporary shock" The emperor
snores regularly, and his pulse is in a
