tion. This perhaps may be accounted
for from the fact that two of the murder
cases occurred in the city of Greenville.
Judge Mackey in his charges to the jury
ON the several cases is impartial and dis
criminating.
The Judge seems to think that the Lii
berian movement looms up before public
attention just in the nick of time, as
efording q safe solution of the question
OF races. Liberia, says the Judge, pos.
sesaes fine climate for the negro, with
o luxuriant soil, and by returning TO
their native country, with all their ac-
CURED advantages Of civilization and
christianity obtained here, may develop
field Of great usefulness, not only to
their own race, but for the world at large.
The question certainly deserves the
thoughtful consideration of our wisest
Statesmen.
We were pleased to meet with our
mrch esteemed friend, Mr. Peter Keye,
of the Air Line Road. He is looking
hale and hearty, and says he enjoys rail-
reading more than anything he ever did.
He is engineer, and is getting hand
some nalary. he has been on that road
about five years, and is just the sort of
man to possess the confidence of his
employers. Mr.. Keys informs us that
the passenger trains average thirty miles
an hour from Charlotte to Atlanta, with
stoppage of only five minutes at the
more important depots, and only one
minute at the smaller places. The road
bed Is In splendid condition, and Mr..
Keys think the company will average
forty miles an hour, including stoppages,
in year or 80. The Charlotte & Allan
ia branch Of the road Is under O aseparate
management from the remainder of the
track TO Richmond.

MT. christopher j. Wilcox, OF Macon,
Georgia, has invented and obtained let
ters patent on an improved saw. which
the Telegraph and Messenger thinks will
probably take rank with the first in
ventions of the age.
The new principle on which his pat
ent Is Issued consists in so arranging
the teeth of the saw that it acts not only
as . saw but also as o plane, and the
wood On leaving. it Is in q dressed con-
dition, as If it had passed through o
planning machine, or been dressed with
o plane in the hands of an experienced
carpenter.
The saw is srragned with sets of teeth,
three in set, with what is known as q
clearing tooth in front and two cutting
teeth III the rear, one beve!ed on the one
side and the other on the opposite side.
and in the movement or rotation, as the
case may be, the wood and with it the
roughness is cleared away and the sur
face left as smooth as if planed and
ready for building purposes and the
painters brush. Specimens of the work
in various kinds of wood present the
same uniform surface. The hard yellow
pine, the scfs gh;.a p;ue, poplar. il fact.
all kinds, are dressed with equal fnc,lity.
The advantages of such O saw are
numberless. Weather boarding can be
taken directly from the eaw mill and
put up without the tedious and expen-
sive delay of pianing; common fences
can be painted and thereby rendered
doubly durable. Cross.ties will last
twice as long and be no more expensive
when gotten up By this method. Bus
the greatest saving will be in the matter
of saving ehingles. Il Is we'll known
that these shingles are less durable then
split ones. This is because the rcleh
surface catches and retains moi ,1Te.
BY the Wilson saw this will be entirely
obviate0, and this kind Of roofing made
as lasting as any.
Timber dressed with this eaw will be
more durable, will present d moro regu-
lar and accurate surface, economize the
ray material, besides many other a6van-
tage5 too numerous to mention. Labor
will also be tremendously lessened, and
Ine cost of buildings thereby reduced.
'Ehs boss raachanics and experts who
have examined the invention pronounce
it just the thing which has long been
needed, and predict that it will revolu-
tionize the present methods dressing
timber.
Mr.. Wilson, who has been working
on the saw for several years, has at last
perfected it, and since obtaining his
patent has had some hattering offers
Eos his invention, but ne feels its rnefit,
and is holding or. It will be big thing
when developed.

REPARTEE.-A good thing is told of
one of our city bellies. Miss L., noted for
her wit. At a dinner party the lady in

who was on g visit to the city on bus-
iness which had brought him in contact
with thejadge mentioned, who had shortly

the dinner the gentleman, who had not
caught the name of the lady when intro
duced, took occasion TO vent his feelings
and express his opinions of the Judge In
terms of anything butcomplimentary. An
awful pause Ia the conversation ;ndica-
ted something wrong, and the gentleman
tsok occasion to express to the lady his
hope the judge was no relation Of hers,
to which, to the infinite amusemens of
all present, che replied, ''Oh, no; only q

A shont of laughter cnnia nak he even

Election, came slowly to the conclusion
that the jadge's family were too much

Remarkable Echoes.

In the sepulchre of Metalla, the wife
of Sulla, in the Roman Campagna, there
is an echo which repeats five times, in
five different keys, and will also give
back with distinctness a hexameter line
which requires two and a half seconds
to utter it. On the bank, of the Naha,
between Bingen and Coblenz, an echo
repeats seventeen times. The speaker
may scarcely be heard, and yet the re-
sponses are loud and distinct, sometimes
appearing to approach, at other times to
come from a greater distance. Echoes
equally beautiful and romantic are to
be heard in Scotland. In the cemetery
of the Abercorn family, at Paisley,
when the door of the chapel is shut tke
reyerberations are equal to thunder. If
single note of music is breathed the
tone ascends gradually with a multitude
of echoes, till it dies in soft and bewitch-
ing murmurs. In this chapel is inferred
Margery, the daughter Of Bruce, and the
wife Of William Wallace The echo at
the Eagles Nest" on the banks of
Killarney, is renowned for its effective
repetition of bugle call, which seems
to be repeated by hundred instruments
until it gradually dies away in the air.
At the report of cannon, the lOudest
thunder reverberates from the rock. and
dies in seemingly endless peals along the
distant mountains. At the castle of
Simonetta, nobleman's seat about two
miles from Milan, a surprising echo is
produced between the two wings of the
building. The report of pistol is re-
peated by this echo sixty times; and
Addison, who visited the place on a some
what foggy day, when the air was unfa-
vorable to the experiment, counted fifty
six repetitions. At first they were very
quick, but the intervals were greater in
proportion as the sound decayed 1t is
asserted that the sound of one musical
instrument in this place resembles a great
number of Instruments playing in con-
cert. The echo is occasioned by the ex-
istence of two parallel walls of consid-
cradle length, between which the wave
of sound Is reverberated from one to
the other until it is entirely spent.

Cement for Aouariums.

Take one gill of plaster of Paris, one
gill of litharge, one gill of fine white
sand and one-third of gill of finely
powdered resin. Mix well, bottle and
cork it until wanted for use, then mix it
with boiled oil and dryers until as thick
as putty. Mix this cement only in small
quantities, as it dries quickly. Another
cement is composed of boiled linseed oil,
litharge, red and white lead, mixed well
together, using white lead in the largest
proportion, spread on flannel and place
in the joints. An amateur suggests
solution of glue, eight ounces to one of
Venice turpentine; boil together, agitat-
ing all the time, until the mixture be-
comes a. complete as possible, the joints
to be cemented to be kept together for
torty-eight hours if required. A fourth
method of forming cement for aqua
RUINS is: Take half a gill of gold size,
two gills of red lad, one and half gills
of litharge, and sufficient silver sand to
make it into thick paste for use. This
last mixture sets in about days.-Anaeri-
