Crowning the glory revealed is the glory that

Back of the hand that receives thrill the sem

Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed is out

The heart of the Wooer is warm, but warmer

And up from the heart where these shiver and
up from the heart where those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim starward, ,and
the essence of life is divine.

EDISON'S FEMALE RIVAL.

Miss Harriet Hosmer's Wonderful Dis
coveries-A Complete Revolution in Mo-
tive Power Predict ted-LimestOne Turned
into Marble.
from the New York Evening Post
LONDON, Oct, 26.-Harriet Hosmer is
well known as a sculptor of the highest
rank, but she now comes before the
world in another character, and, if the
testimony of some of the best informed
savants of England is worthy of trust,
she has placed her name on a level with
Fulton and Morse. One of her discov-
cries is of kind which, it is said, will
enable US to dispense with the present
methods of obtaining power for ma
chinery.
Miss Hosmer arrived in London last
August, bringing with her the model of
her fastest statue, "The Pompeiian Sem
tinel." In the preparation Of this
model instead of using the traditional
clay, Miss Hosmer first constructed a
rough shape in plaster of Paris. This
was handled while soft, and the founda-
ton of the statue laid. When it had
been brought into general conformity
with the idea existing in the artists
mind, it was coated to the depth of
about one inch in white wax. The deli
cate touches of the modeling-knife
were then all applied to this outer coat
ing, and when the model was completed
it retained its shape, to the finest line
and furrow, without the constant care
that clay model requires. Miss Hos
mer regards this method of modelling
as far superior to the old. 1t gives
much less trouble and can be worked
with far greater ease, besides giving the
effect of marble instead of the dull,
gloomy effect of clay.
"What do you think I've been do
ing?" Miss Hosmer suddenly asksd.
"I've turned inventor. I've invented a
contrivance to enable player to turn
the leaves of music, either on piano
or on conductors stand, and it works
beautifully. But that is a mere toy. |
happened on the idea and worked it
out. What am going to show you
now will astonish you. You may think
I'm crazy-most every one does at first
but you will change your mind when
you see my discovery applied"
Miss Hosmer then went on to show
and describe discovery she had made.
l am not allowed to repeat all that was
told to me. The essential secret of the
discovery am obliged to withhold un-
til Miss Hosmer authorizes fuller rev.
elation. l can only give a general idea
of its application with the testimony of
such saVants as have seen it. They are
unanimous in declaring it not only to
be a wonderful novelty but apparently
a thoroughly useful and practical power
producer.
The machine now in process of con-
struction for Miss Hosmer by Browning,
on the Strand, is not dissinlilar in its
general design to an electromagnetic
engine. The important feature consists
in an absolutely novel application of the
permanent magnet. There is no elec.
trio battery, and consequently no in
duced magnetic action. The magnets
are permanent magnets. They are ar
ranged so that the whole power is de-
rived from them, but there is no battery
nor any other device for creating or

7 Second. To me her mental state is more
extraordinary. Her power Of clairyOyance,
or second sight, is maryelOusly developed.
/ All places in which she takes any interest are
open to her mental vision. Distance imposes
no barriers. No retirement, however Sc
cluded, but yields to her penetrating gaze.
She dictates the contents of sealed letters
which have never been in her hands with
out the slightest error. She visits the faml-
ly circles OF her relations and acquainlances
in remote places and describes their attire
and their occupations. She points out any
disorder of dress, however slight, as the
basting thread in the sleeve or back which
to ordinary sight was concealed by the arm.
Any article which has been mislaid
she sees and tells where it may be found.
She discriminates in darkness the most deli
cate shade Of color with an accuracy that
never errs. She works in embroidery and
wax without patterns. She concelveS
the most beautiful forms and cOmbi-
nations of forms. She never studied
botany or tOOka lesson in waX-wOrk, and yet
she never mistakes the form of leaf OF flow
er. Leaves with their ribs or veins, their
phylotaXis; flowers, with calyX, cOrolla,
stamens with. their anthers are given with a
most truthful regard to nature. Holding
pen or pencil in her left hand, she writes
with extraordinary rapidity. Her pen
manship is handsome and legible. She once
wrote poem of ten verses in as many min
utes-her thought flowing with the rapidity
of lightning. In cutting velvet for pin
cushions, like the samples sent you, she held
the scissors by the knuckles Of thumb and
fore-fnger Of the left hand, and bringing
the velvet with thumb and finger of her right
hand, she cut the leaves as shapely and
without rave as though they had been cut
with punch. These leaves do not differ in
size or form more than leaves growing on
tree or shrub. In the early part Of her sick
ness, she cut more than two thousand such
leaves. In April, 1873, she worked up twen-
ty-five hundred ounces of wOrSteds; to De-
cember, 1875, she had written six thousand
five hundred notes and letters. She has kept
an account of all the expenses of the family
during her sickness. She keeps daily
journal, except when in frances or longer
duration than "a hours. In passing into the
new condition, three years ago, OF which l
have spoken, she forgot every thing that
had occurred in the previous nine years.
When she was able to speak, she inquired
about matters that occurred at the begin
ming of her ilness-the nine intervening
years were perfect blank to her.
But must take leave Of this subject. The
incredulOus will not accept it-and it is not
surprising. Miss Fancher is not to be
Judged by ordinary laws. The state is ab
normal species of modified catalepsy,
which has deranged the ordinary action of
mind and body. 1t is a rich mine for in
vestigation to the Psychologist and the
psychologist; and with them | leave the
case. Very respectfully,
CHARLES Z. WEST.

Wenn du Uor1berCandelSt."
If thou dost but pass before me,
And feel but the touch OF thy dress,
My heart leaps and follows in rapture
The track of thy loveliness.
Then thou turnest about, and bendest

And my neart is so stricken with panic,
1t scarcely can follow thee.

That mourns, alone and silent,
On ledge of burning sand.
"Mein SuSSeS Lieb, aoenn du i'm Grab"
When thou shalt lie, my darling, low
In the dark grave, where they hide the,
Then down to thee will surely go,
And nestle in beside thee.
Wildly I'll kiss and clasp thee there,
Pale, cold, and silent lying;
Shout, shudder weep, in dumb despair,
Beside my dead love dying.
The midnight calls, up rise the dead,
And dance in airy swarms there;
We twain quit not our earthly bed,

Up rise the dead; the Judgment day
To bliss or anguish calls them;
We twain lie on as before we lay,
And heed not what befalls them.

WASHINGTON May 2s.-The final adjourn

llcans. The action and. still moro. the senti-
ment OF the caucus Of Democratic Representa-
tves held this afternoon shows this. 1t was
held to consider the disposition to be made Of
the Joint resolution already passed by the Senate
for adjournment on Juno 10. This resolution
is special order tomorrow. At the opening
OF tho caucus Mr.. Buckner OF Missouri moved
that its action should be deemed advisory and
not binding. This was voted down. but the
strong vote in its favor showed the great dis
satisfaction with any postponement OK tho time
Of adjournment. Fernando Wood then moved
to postpone the consideration OF tho reso-
luton until June s. In support OF this notion
and in opposition to some suggestions that tho
business Of the House could be passed upon be-
fore that date Mr.. Atkins. Chairman Of the
Committee on Appropriations, said that 1t
