A NEW USE FOR THE TELEPHONE

In the United States a series Of
experiments has been made by the
Ordnance Department in the use Of
the telephone to assist in determining
the time of flight CT small-arm pro-
jectiles, which has hitherto been a
matter OF great difficulty at long
ranges, owing to the impossibility Of
seeing them strike. One telephone
was placed within a few feet of the
gun, and the other (both being pro-
vided with BIake's transmitters) in
the shelter, about soft. in front Of
the target. The telephone being
placed to the ear, a stopwatch,
beating fourths Of a second, was
started ct the moment of firing, and
stopped on the bullet striking. The
observations founded on a large
number of experiments never differed
more than a quarter or half Of .
second from each other, the slight
delay in starting the watch being

grlarity of school attendance o great falling
off has manifested itself. Thus in the Ro.
man Catholic elementary schools, during
the months of September. October and
November 1879, out of GOA pupils ON the
lists, only 357 or SO pr. ct. have daily
attended the schools. On the Communal
Schools the daily attendance during the
last quarter of 1879 averaged sc pr. ct.)
1t is to be hoped that this unsatisfactory
state of things will only be transient.
An important change in the position of
+be private schools has resulted from the
nassing of a money-bill under the munich
bal budget for 1~S79-S0, by which an
amount has been granted in aid of pri-
waite schools, in such q manner that the
amount of the aid allowed is much Deepen.

A NOBLE MODEL.
How Famous Artist Painted a
Fashionable Lady.

Speaking of art matters. a Paris
correspondent of the New York Times
writes:
Gossip is already busy in several
cases with some of the fair models,
and the tribunal de commerce of the
Seine is called upon to decide a dis
pute between the Countess X and a
celebrated painter, who has not termi-
mated her picture precisely in the
conditions which she insists upon for
a public exhibition. Whom shall |
go to2" asked the countess of her
friend, the marquise. "How do you
mean to be painted" inquired the
marchioness. with a low-necked
dress, Of course" said the countess,
for yeu know | have nice shoulders"
Certainly, dear; but you cannot have
merely back view, and then your
throat is so pretty" II shall have it
IN profile, so that both can be seen.
You have the Imagination of an
angel, said the marquise; you must
90 to Z; there's nobody like him. {"
SO the countess went to Z, who
might be (but is not) M. Uabanel, and
told him what she wanted and
what she could offer. They say |
have such nice shoulders and lovely
throat, and perfect arms, and" here
she hesitated-"a very we'll shaped
leg" Shoulders of marble, throat
like snow, arms of ivory we're prom
ised by the artist, who turned the dif-
6culty about the leg by suggesting the
branch of the tree which had torn the
gown, which was at once agreed to.
But what shall ! wear?" she said;
II have a white satin and crimson
velvet. and both are SO becoming. "
Never mind about the dress" re-
torted Apelles, we will begin with
the shoulders, the throat, and the
arms, and do the leg afterwards, for |
am of the anatomical school, and i'm
itate David who did all the figures of
the Serment du Jeu de Paume first
in the nude, You had better wear
only loose dressing .gown-you will
have less to take of. The countess
protested, the artist was firm; but
they finally struck a bargain-some-
thing like a pair Of stays and ashort
petticoat, The countess was patient,
but she grew tired, as every time the
question was asked, when shall |
put on my gown?" the painter, who
might have been, but was not, NJ.
Bonnat, adjourned the gown until a
more convenient season, saying that
he was not inspired for gown Just
yet" What Nine. X. had foreseen
has happened. The moment came to
send in his picture, it was not ready,
and as the only resource left him is to
present it in its undraped condition,
he insists on this presentation. 1t is
an exquisite production, but a most
Aimsy something extending only half
way from the waist to the knee is
scarcely the costume appropriate to a
noble lady.

FINED FOR CRUELTY.
Mule Beaters and In-Treaiers
Must Look Out.

The police court was lively place,
between ten and eleven this forenoon.
Mr.. Harry Hill, who appeared in be-
half of the society for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals, in the prOsecu-
tion of Mr.. Thomas Barrett, the su-
perintendent of the street car compa-
ny, made an eloquent appeal in hehalf
Of the hard worked, hard treated street
car mule. A large number of promi-
nent citizens we're present, including
the leading stockholders and presi-
dent of the car company. Dir. Gill
ham appeared as counsel for Mr..
Barrett, and handled the case skillul-
ly. Mr.. Hill at times grew pathetic
and touched the sympathies of his
auditors almost to tears. Had the
poor oppressed mules been on hand
they would have sent forth cheerful
brays of endorsement, could they have
understood the situation. Mr.. Hill
volunteered his services and appeared
to be more than usually eloquent in
the cause he espoused. The society

undone to stop the animal
punishers in their british work of

ing Recorder 0verton fined Mr.. Barrett
So on behalf of each of the two mules
he was beating, and the costs will be
about as much more. 1t will be re-
membered that two sore, crippled and
raw-boned mules were taken from a
street car, two or three days ago, at
the corner of Madison and Main street
About the same moment, and when
excitement was at high pitch, Sup't.
Barrett wns noticed to drive down the
alley, between Main and Front, near
PRemierts saloon, and didn't tarry
along his course. He, however, did
not run away, or have to run, but ap-
peared at court this forenoon as stated.
Several cars were blocked and de-
layed in their movements, at the time
the mules were unhitched, and con-
siderable comment resulted. During
the course Of the trial this forenoon,
which occupied two hours, Mr.. Bar
rett was warned, and Mr.. Hill was
frequently applauded while deliver.
ling his speech. The incidents
/ connected with the case will be the
talk in street car circles and among
the patrons thereof, for a eoon's age,
perhaps longer. The society for cru
city prevention declare that they will
stop animal ill-treatment if they have
to make the shareholders of the rail =
way company take the places of the
sick mules.

Two hundred shares of Louisville
and Nashville railway stock belonging
to Shelby county were sold in New
York yesterday at l.39, the highest
point reached in the market during
the day. Three hundred shares were
sold several days before at 1.3O and
the county still owns $50 shares. The
total sales Of L. & N. stock in the New
York market yesterday, according to
press dispatches, were 1000 shares and
the price varied from 1.35 to 1.39,
closing at 1874. The value Of the
stock is very uncertain, having varied
So to to 1.641 since the first Of the
present year, and from 35 to Sc, or
thereabouts last year. 1t is therefore
a good thing for the people that the
property is about disposed of. The
telegram from New York printed
yesterday quoting the stock up to l. 45
was evidently an error. Another tel.
eRram to-day from New York to the
bank of commerce says 100 shares ad
ditional were sold to-day for account
ofthe county, at LAO. This leaves 1.5O
shares yet unsold. 1t will doubtless
be closed out this afternoon or early
next week.

hazing is no more common at West

that he remembers a case there that is
almost the equal in cruelty and mean
ness of the Whitaker outrage. In
January, 1871, he says, an organized

three other cadets, and, without Civ

cold night to the limits Of the post,

NneedY Jus1tce.

On the 10th inst, near .Bradley's
Landing, some twenty-four miles up
the river, one Green Jackson, a
preaching darky, killed Lorenzo
Jones, another of the same color, all
about the latter's wife, with whom
Green had become infatuated. In
anticipation of trouble, Mr.. Clark, on
whose plantation the latter worked
last fall, purchased Green's crop, and
asked him to leave the neighborhood.
He, however, had fashion of hanging
around and slipping quietly into the
presence of Mrs. Jones. At the time
of the killing the two men met each
other with shotguns. Fearing Green,
Jones carried his gun along for pro-
lection, while the former sought for
Jones, with the remark that one or
the other must go to hell on that par
ticular day. When getting close to
each other, Jones, though he would
have been justified in taking summary
action, seemed afraid to shoot his ad-
versary, and permitted him to ap-
proach close enough to catch hold Of
and twist his gun barrel. Then Green
watched his chance and struck Jones
over the back of the head, crushing
his skull aud telling him to the earth.
After that he beat the fallen mans
head into an unshapely mass, not a
bone being left more than an inch in
length and to wind up, he sat down
on the dead body with his shotgun,
and defed any interference or effort
to arrest him. The murder is con-
sidered as one of the most cruel and
atrocious in the annals of crime.
Jones was a harmless old fellow of
perhaps so years, while Green was ten
or twelve years younger. After trial
lasting two days, at Marion, Ark, and
closing the evening before last, jury
of part white and part black citizens
found the murderer guilty, and SEN
fenced him to be hung. 1t is be-
licved that there is no legal flaw in
the case, and that Green Jackson's
fate is sealed. Judge L. B. Horrigan,
of this city, was of the prosecuting
counsel in the case.
