ELECTRIC PHOTOGRAPHS.
Taking Pictures at 10 O'clock a
Night

Lucy Hoopers Paris letter.
| Has the electric light been utilized a
yet for Photographic purposes in Ameri
ca? Were you an illustrated newspaper
dear Telegraph, should forward to you
at once cabinet photograph of Gen
Grant, now i'll my possession, which wa
taken by the new process at 10 o'clock al
night at the establishment of NJ. Liebert
on the Rue de Londres, few days before
our great General left Paris.
1t is the very best likeness of him that
| have yet seen, and as photograph it
is very beautiful, being as soft and deli
cate in shading as is drawing in India
ink. / do not know if the electric light
will prove to be as great boon to
American photographers as it will un-
doubtedly be to English and French
ones, owing to the superior brightness
and clearness Of our atmosphere; but
here, where the sun sometimes refuses to
shine for days together. it is undoubtedly
"a sweet boom" AS Aftemus Ward once
said Of the Tower Of London. 1t is
quite the fashion now for parties of Ia
dies to make engagements with NJ. Lie
bert for sitting on the nights they are
going to ball or to an opera, and SO can
be photographed in full toilette without
the trouble of being specially dressed
and coffee during the daytime.
And the electric light has, of course.
this advantage over tho 'ln, that ii can
be raised or lowered or shifted around to
suit the sitter's or the operators ideas.
NJ. Liebert's present apparatus consists
OF vast copper reflector, in shape and
size rather like preserving pan multi
piled by six; this is coated inside with
white enamel, ard single jet of the
electric flame placed in the center of this
reflector throws beautifully pure and
vivid light upon the sitter. Brilliant as
it is, it is much less trying to the eyes
than is the ordinary daylight, but if the
sitter looks full at the light the effect is
not good, as the reflection in the ewes
makes two white spots that are very ugly.
Apart from that, the light is highly ia
vorable, bringing out the minutest and
most delicate details of dress, such as the
patterns for laces, for instance, and all |
without any sharpness or hardness of
effect.
NJ. Liebert's apparatus is, however, as
yet in its infancy, and he intends to in.
troduce some striking improvements. |
Among other things, he talks of having
a small room especially arranged for
night sittings, with domed ceiling
coated with white enamel and with a
row of Jets for the electric light around
the cornice. He would thus obvate the
necessity of using the large reflector, and
the sitter would be entirely surrounded
by a brilliant radiance that would be butt
the daylight sick, looking a little paler."

Mr.. Hit have all had their photographs

officials.

ECCENTRIC as the career of the Widow
Oliver may have been, she has undoubt-
edly outgeneraled the Pennsylvania Sen
ator in the selection of her witnesses.
The male Oliver whose ideas of matri-
mony are considerably mixed, and the
detective, who admitted that he had re-
sorted to several small villainies to obtain
a letter from the plaintiff, are not calcu-
lated to aid the Cameron cause. But
when a woman is introduced to crush the
character of the widow, who confesses to
having been married to and divorced
from three husbands and to being now
separated from fourth for reasons which
she does not make clear, it looks as
though the defense in the case were rest
ing on several broken reeds.

The Golden Rule very seriously con
templates the question whether a cir
without an ear for music should be per
mitted to make noises on the piano
which it dcsignates our national instru
ment. Considering that innate indepen
dence OF the American girl, which she
invariably possesses, regardless of wheth.
er she has an ear for music or no, it is
quite safe to say that permission has
nothing to do with it; if she wishes to
thump upon the piano she will do so,
even though she have no ears at all and
is deaf as door post But it would be
well to discourage her from thus wasting
her time and torturing her fellow NOR
tails, by pointing out to her, delicatelv
but distinctly, her natural defects. "If
her ear be dull for tones, and her sense
OF time deficient" every argument
should be advanced to WOO her away
from the siren strains of music and set
her to sketching, or embroidering, or
carving bedsteads, Or decorating china-
anything for which she manifests nat
ural inclination, and anything to dis
suade her from Furnishing piano. 1t
