4 Startling Discovery.

The Athenaum has been favored by
a correspondent sending a startling
letter, received from Miss M. Betham-
Edwards, in which occurs the follow
ing passage:
Il send you the following particu-
lars of recent scientific invention,
just patented, and destined without
doubt to play a very important part
in our economic history. [ think it
must be regarded as a solution for
once and for all of the great coal
question, or rather fuel question, not
only among ourselves, but abroad.
M. Bourbonnel, of Dion, the cele-
brated lion and panther slayer, lighted
upon the following discovery by haz-
ard, and after six years persistent i'll
vestigation brought it to entire work
able perfection. He discovered, by
means of two natural substances, in
exhaustible in nature, the means of
lighting and maintaining fire with
out wood or coal; a fire instantaneous
ly lighted and eXtinguished; a fire
causing no dust, smoke, or trouble; a
fire costing one-tenth at least Of ordi-
nary fuel; and, what is more wonder
full still, fire the portion Of which
answering to our fuel is everlasting
that is to say, would last a lifetime.
NJ Bourbonnel's invention compre-
hends both stove and fuel. The fires
could be on the minutest scale or on
the largest. They would be used fol
heating a baby's food or for roasting
an OK. Being lighted instantaneous
ly, they will be great economy OF
time. M. Bourbonnel at once patent
ed his invention, and a body Of engi,
neers and savants from Paris visited
him and pronounced his discovery one
of the most remarkable of the age
He has had several offers for the pur.
chase of the patent in France, but
wants to sell it in England, his OWL
occupation being in another line
Any English gentleman or firm wish
ing to see his fires and stoves could dt
so by writing to him day or two be
forehand. His address is M. Bour
bonnet, Dion. | have see1
these fires and stoves. There is NJ
mistake about the matter. 1t is a
clear as possible that here we have
perpetual and economical source O.
fuel. Two hundred years ago the dis
coverer would have surely been burn
as a wizard"

A vender of cheap jewelry was
knocked down by an Irishman the
other night, and at once brought ac-

the agent had called him liar The

no offensive language. Upon being
asked to give the the agents words,
the Irishman said: He tried to sell

Once, in travelling, the Rev. DR..
Bledsoe was exceedingly annoyed by
a pedantic bore, who forced himself
upon him and made great parade Of
his shallow learning. The Doctor
bore it as long as he could, and at
length, looking at him gravely, said:
My friend, you and | know all that
is to be known" How is that?" said
the man, pleased with what he
thought very complimentary associ-
citation. why" said the Doctor,

1t is said that Indian babies never

Two women Of Union, Tenn, had a
