Miss HOSMER's MoTOR.-This is an
age that threatens to overturn all our
conceptions of the stability of things.
Even the cast iron mechanical laws that
are believed to govern the equilibrium of
the universe are in danger of being set
aside by those untiring investigators of
the mysterious secrets Of nature who are
bent on showing that the word "impossi-
BILE" must be expunged from our modern
dictionaries because it belongs to dead
language. The telephone enables us to
hear friend speaking five hundred miles
away, the phonograph makes n word ut
tered al eternal physical record of an
idea, and now comes an application of
the magnet as motor that promises to
cause revolution in mechanics such as
the widest dreamer had not imagined.
Such, at least, are the opinions of prac.
tical men who have had opportunities of
examining the operation of this new
motor on small scale. That there ex.
lists an irresistible, if unregulated, force
in magnetism has not been denied by Sci
entists. The nature Of the power exerted
proves plainly enough that our present
appreciation of it cannot measure what
may be exerted to an unlimited extent
when unknown agencies cause a deyelop.
ment of its latent forces. The steam
that only lifted the lid of Watts kettle
has been applied to the Corlss engine.
So can the subtle power exercised in
raising nelAle by magnet be dcvel-
oped TO degree equal to the movement
of an ocean steamer. That Miss Hosiner
shonld be the discoverer Of some of the
secrets of this mighty force is a matter
of which her country has reason to be
proud. We only hope that Edison and
herself may not drive us too fast toward
the tir,e when all that is to be known
will be known-N. y. Herald

Hrs OBJECTION TO JURoR.-"Are
you satisfied with the jury, gentlemen ?''
asked Judge Noonan this morning, after
the jury had been impannelled.

AN AUGER WHICH BoREs SQUARE
HoLEs.-TO send a verdant youngster in
Search of drill wherewith to make n
square hole is one Of those time honored
workshop jokes, the freshness and origi-
nality of which is perennial with sue
ceeding generations of perpetrators. But
the laugh is now over, or at least it is on
the side of the victim, for, incredible as
1T may appear, this apparent impossible
ity has been accomplished, and in way
so simple and so easy that any one may
prove the fact for himself AS may be
supposed, the invention mas excited
more genuine astonishment among the
mechanics gathered at the Exposition
than any Of the other wonders here dis
played. There is constant crowd sur
rounding the inventor, watching him
bore hole after hole square, and puzzling
over the very simplicity of the provok-
ingly simple solution Of the problem. If
had not seen the thing done, should
have refused, rs many of your readers
will doubtless feel similarly inclined to
Go, TO believe in its possibility; but, for
:Hmsto'y, here is case where nothing
need be taken OH faith. All that is re-
quired is an ordinary hand drill-stock
A stationary one with chuck below for
holding the work, tho inventor. Mr. Ju-
Illus Hall, of London, uses; but he says
common brace will answer--"nnything,
in fact, will do that will properly hold
the drill" The tool itself is the usual
form Of three-square drill, so that it will
be seen that no special apparatus ut all
is required. Clamp or chuck this drill
in its holder so that it will "wabble.' u
and you have the whole secret. Instead
of making round hole, as it undoubt-
edly will if tightly grasped, when loose.
ly held it produces a square one. why
it should act thus is at first to all appear.
ances an impenetrable paradox, and
even after The rationale is discovered, II
scarcely seems quite clear-Fdris Letter

to congratulate the General Assembly
and the whole State upon the peace and
good order which has marked the con-
duct of our people during the past year,
and especially during the exciting cir
cumstances of the political campaign
through which we have just passed
Since the late war we have constantly
claimed that if the State could but be
placed back under the control of those
to whom it rightfully belonged, en &C.

integrity, competency and interest, free

incompetency and misrule, that the vio-
ience and turbulence thereby engen-
dered, and which were fast becoming
chronic features in her history, would in
stantly disappear and that peace and

TIE ELECTORAL VOTE IN 1880.
Philadelphia Times.1

The study of the electoral
vote as presented by the elec>
tons this year, is an interest,"
ing one in view Of the prob1-
BILE issues of 1880. Assumin q
that the general Republican
tide Of 1878 shall be repea-
ted in 1880, and all owin g
California to be added to the
Republican column, the cleo
toral vote would divide as
follows Republicans, 2l3 :;
Democrats, 1855. All that is
necessary to change the cleo
toral majority from the Re-
publican to the Democratic
side will be the change Of New
York, with it's thirty-ive clec~
toral votes Transferring New
york to the Democratic side,
the electoral vote would foot
up-Democratic, l9l . Repub>
lican. IT'S, giving the Demo-
Gratis majority of thirteen,
with a Democratic Senate and
House to cure all defects in
the court. And when it is
considered that New York
gave but $1,000 Republican
majority this year out Of prc5-
ably 100000 votes. and that
Tilden and Tammany were
locked in a deadly factious
war that neither will dare to
repeat, the transfer of New
with New York city as an ILL
mltable factory for manufac-
turing Democratic maiorities
and the fate OF a Presidential
contest depending upon. the
vote Of the State.

WHY ISlT -?

1t Is astonishing with what
pertlnacity the system OF errors
and misrepresentation of our
P"r III and State are kept up
III the Northern and Western
press: through special cor. es
pondcn1s and Telegra phic re-
peters, Even papers that
sympathize with u, and have
stood manlully up with US,
shoulder to shoulder, in our
desperate encounters with the
most corrupt organization that
ever d'sgraced our body pol
tito, are often times imposed
upon, or careless!y allow mis-
representations of the state of
affairs here, to creep into
their columns which are rot
only base calumnies but which
work inestimable injury to
our Parish and section.
We have frequently had &C.
caslon to remark the apparent
Ignorance which seems to pre-,
vail among even our New
Orleans contemporaries, not
only as to the state Of affairs
existing among US, but also as
to the geographical position Of
the country. This ignorance,
or careles, ness, was the result
Of the same system Of superb
cial supervision Of the subject
matter tor the columns, which
prevails in many Of our large
newspaper ctfices.
An example in point is
special sent from New Or
leans to the CouRIER-JoURNAL,
aud which we produced in
our columns last week to
show what absurdities reach
the columns Of papers which
are really in our interest. but
which, by their correspon-
dents, are made the medium
nnesC portions OF the State.
NO such state Of affairs a, pic
tured in that special prevailed
her@, and the election was far
more quiet than few we can
'eccollect in Louisville.
Look after your correspop-
dent, Mr.. Journal, and see
hat he imposes no such trash
IN you in the future.
