CONCLUSION.
TELEGRAPH1NG WITHOUT WIRES.

Prof Loomis of Washington, who has
devoted his life to demonstrating the
praCtica bility of his theory Of aerial tele-
graphing, seems to be on the eve Of sue
cess His system is based on current Of
electricity which he has demonstrated
exists at different heights, and which
transmits communication between two
perpendicular wires reaching into it what
ever the distance may be. He has already
sent messages in this way for a distance
of IL miles, using the Morse battery in
connection with one ofhis own invention.
1t seems assured that aerial telegraphing
by means of rods on natural or artificial
eminences can be successfully praCtiCed
at all times, though its great value will
be in long. g.distanCe telegraphing as from
one side of the ocean to the other. Prof.
Loomis is now making arrangements for
series of experiments between peaks of
the Alps and the Rocky mountains. If
he succeeds of course telegraphing be-
tween the Old World and the New will
be cheapened thousand fold, and Prof.
Loomis is thoroughly convinced that be-
fore many years submarine cables will
be lying abandoned and useless in their
ocean beds,

ELECTED BY HIS SECOND.

Wheeling, W. ", Jan. A singular
case of suicide occurred here last night.
Henry Daub, we'll known citizen of
this place, who was once very wealthy,
shot himself through the heart. He had
been married twice, and had quarreled
with his second wife, who turned him
out of the house, and is said to have com.
menced leading dissolute life. Late
yesterday afternoon he showed revol-
yer to a friend. and said he intended to
kill himself on his first wife's grave. AS
he could not be found this morning, the
friend went to Mount Calvary Cemetery,
and there, upon his first wife's grave,
covered with a foot of snow, his body
was found, and the revolver beside it.
This is the third suicide among the Ger
mans in this place within three weeks

Remarkable Success.

The success Of the leading literary paper
of the West, The CHICAGO LEDGER, is
truly remarkable. Since its Introduction
to the reading public, six years ago, TIE
LEDGER has steadily advanced in favor,
and is now acknowledged second to no
paper of the kind i'm the country. Its cir
eulation is national, and has been obtained
through the efforts of its publishers to
produce paper of high moral character,
and at the same time sell it at price con-
sistent with the present hard times. That
they have succeeded, and well, too, the
thousands of readers of .YrHE LEDGER scat
tered from Maine to Texas and from Ore
gon to Florida will bear testimony. TIL
CHICAGO LEDGER is a large forty-eigh
colum weekly paper. which contains stories
both complete and continued, in eacf
number, written by the best authors of thu
day, and great variety of information in
teresting to every one. The subscription
price of THE LEDGER is only $l.5O pc
year, postage paid, and it is equal in ever.
particular to other papers of the sam
character which sell for 81 year. Thre'
copies of this valuable paper will be sen
70 any one who sends IL cents and thei
address to The LEDGER, Chicago, Ill.

progress as to render it impossible
either to save the building or rescue
The children. The house VAS entirely
consumed, and the children burned
almost TO cihderS and presented
most revolving appearance when
recovered. The general conclusion
concerning the origin of the horrible
affair, is that the children, left alone.
sought to amuSe themselves by
play ing with the fire, left burning
in the room, and thus set fire to the
house and met an awful and uDtime-
" death. The careless and uuthink-
ing mother, who thus left her help
less little children locked in room
where IA fire was burning, is alone
responsible for the aW full fate that
overlook them. Let this case serve
as Il warning to parents to see that

SHOoTTNG.-On Sunday evenin e
last crowd of boys and young men
were standing at the north west
corner of Court square. Mr.. Mark
Joseph, of Vernon, came up the
street, staggering. This caused the
crowd to laugh heartily, whereupon
Joseph drew a revolver and fired
upon them shooting Johnnie Harter
through the right cheek. Charlie
Meyers, young man i'll the
employ of j. Sillett. as tailor,
grappled with Joseph and endeav-
Ored to take the pistol from him.
He was shot through the arm, re-
ceiVing flesh wound. After Joseph
had emptied his revolver, he was
disarmed and lodged in Jail. Har~
ter's wound is serious, the ball hav-
ing passed through his face and
lodged i'll the back part of his neck,
from whence it was removed by the
surgeons. We are glad to learn he
is dong well. We trust the holiday

Vicksburg's local editors have
organized a sort of mutual admira>
ton society. They keep each other
well before the public. For instance,
him of the Commercial says:
The Local of the Herald must
either be deaf or laboring under
some halucination, probably the
latter, for he says, "the fire bells
did not ring last night" when the
majority of oar citizens, who hap
pened to be sober at the time, know
well that the fire bells in the city
were Iung."
And the item-snatcher of the Her
aid has this compliment for his third
page contemporary:
"our friend, the local itemizer OF
the evening paper, is mistaken in
saying that the HerdLt is prejud ced
against the New Year. We merely
gave him that Tin Cup alley rap
because he rhapsodized SD much.
For instance, he says, abiding to
the New Year, ga young and radi.
ant stranger rushed from the cloud

his brow hopes crown of star CLEANS
