Reporting by Machinery.

A reporting machine at the Paris e1-
position, known as ala machine stem
ographique Michela," the latter, being
the name of its inventor, attracted much
attention. The claims made respecting
it are that after fortnight's practice,
any person can take down in shorthand
characters a speech however rapidly de.
Jivered. 1t is small instrument,
piannlike in form, with TWENTY-FIVE
keys, white and black, and the steno
graphic characters are small and i'm
pressed on slips of paper. Signor
Michela claims to have classified all the
sounds which the human organs of
speech are capable OF producing, and to
have 30 constructed his machine that it
shall report with unerring fidelity what
ever is said in German, French, Italian,
Spanish and English. The machine is
highly ingenious, and seems to have
stood several practical tests satisfactorily.

How Many States Hang Murderers =?

Four States of this Union have un-
conditionally abolished capital punish
ment, viz; Michigan Gin 1s46). Rhode
Island (n 1851. Wisconsin On 1859
and Maine (in 1876 The following
States have the "opuon Jury law: In
diana, 1862; New York, 1862; Illinois,
1857; Minnesota, 1868; Iowa, 1873, and
Louisiana many years ago. In these
States there is no capital punishment
unless the jury unanimously recommend
that penalty; hence there are but few
executions in these States. Of the
above States Iowa totally abolished that
penalty in 1872, but modified that law
in 1878 as mentioned. The following
States have the "governor's option ,"
law, viz New Hampshire, Vermont
and Kansas. In these States the crimi-
nal is sent to the State prison for one
year vermont two years) prior to exc
cution, when he may be executed on the
warrant of the governor, it being op-
tional with the governor whether he
shall, or shall not, issue the warrant.

.The Thing Buffalo Bnll.

General Low Wallace has an article in
Scribacr's on, a " Buffalo Hunt IN
Northern Mexico" from which we take
this extract: remember yet the excite:
ment of that ride, the eagerness and
expectancy with which we neared the
knot OF trees, our dash through, pistol
in hand. In quiet hours hear the
shout with which the colonel brought US
together, In In opening scarce twenty
yards square lay dying bull: He was
OF prodigious. girth, and covered head
and shoulders with coat of sunburnt
hair to shame lion. Long, tangled
locks, matted~Ssith mud and burrs,
swathed his forelegs down to the hoofs.
The ponderous head of the brute rested
helplessly upon the rotten trunk OF q
palm tree; the tongue hung from bis
bloody lips; his eyes were dim, and his
breath came and went in mighty gasps.
The death-wonnd was in his flank, q
horrible sickening rent. The earth all
about bore witness to The fury of the
duel Long time he confronted his Toe,
and held him with locked horns; at last
he slipped his guard-that broad fore
head with its crown of Jove-like curls-
and was lost. Who could doubt that
the victor was worth pursuit? o..
We helped the unfortunate to
speedisr death, and fingered to. observe
him. His travels had been far, begin

second summer; then, from the hunting
of the Sioux aad their fierce kinsmen
he escaped into Colorado; after a yeal

pushed southwark again, lingering II

Arkansas; there the bold riders Of ths
Comarche found him; breaking from
them, he disappeared for time in thu
bleak wilderness called the Staket

Long and Short Sleepers.

Seamen and soldiers, from habit, can
sleep when they will and wake, when
they will. Captain Barclay, when per-
forming his wonderful feat of walking
1000 miles in as many consecutive
hours, obtsinea-saeh mastery over
himself that he fell asleep the minute
be lay down. The faculty of remaining
asleep. for great length of time is pos
sessed by some individuals. Such was
the case with ~Quin, the celehratcd
player, who would slumber for d nt.v-
four hours successively; with Elizabeth
Orvin, who slept three-fourths of her
life; with Elizabeth Perkins, who slept
for week or fortnight at time; with
Mary I,yell, who did the same for sue
cessive weeks; and with many others,
more or less remarkable. ....
A phenomenon Of an opposite char
acter is sometimes observed, for there
are other individuals who can subsist on
u surprisingly small portion of SLEEP.
The celebrated General Elliott WAS an
instance of this kind; he never slept
more than four hours out of the twenty
four. In all other respects he was
strikingly abstinent, his food consisting
wholly Of bread, water and vegetables.

Sinclair by John Sbrdop, Esq., OF Swine.

he only slept on an average of four hours
in the twenty-four, and was remarkG--

the Great, of Prussia, and the illustrioua
surgeon, John Hunter, only slept five
hours during the Same period. The
celebrated French general, Pichegro,
informed Sir Gilbert Blaine. e.that during
whole years campaign he had not
allowed himself above one hours sleep

HE 'KnaYe- Bible:

About two centuries ago an idea

to procure one, it occurred to Thornton,
worthless fellow by all account, that

This is trying season for .invalids,
particularly those suffering or liable to
suffer from Bliousness, Kidney Com

weaknesses peculiar to their sex.
Indications of sickness should at once

caused by allowing the bowels to become
constipated, and the system remain in a
disordered condition. An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure, is an
old and truthful saying. Therefore we
advise all who are troubled with com =
