An amusing feature of the Republican,
county committee meeting yesterday was
the alacrity with which certain Bull
Ring members of the committee voted
for J. W. Johnson's resolution directing
the chairman of the committee to place
the names of presidential candidates on
the tickets to he prepared for the prl-
mary election in May next, and declar-
ing that the vote thus recorded shall be
considered :. instructions to the dele
gates to the national convention. These
timid committeeman did not dare to
vote against Johnson's resolution and &c
back to their constituents and tell them
that they had refused to give 4 chance
to the people to express their views OF
the presidential question: but no sooner
had these committeeman permitted th'
resolution to go through than they al
turned round and voted to adjourn. L
prevent anv further harm being done L

Prison Inspector John Horting he
came 40 years of aye at O'Clock this
morning, and Notwithstanding the rather
unreasonable hour forty OF his friends
called upon him at his residence. ID East
Walnut street, to wish him JOY. The visi-
tors were handsomely entertained by MIR.
and Mrs. Horting. Much merriment WAS oc-
casioned by wag in the party who had
brought along with him some e'eSant-Iook
ing biscuit, which were distributed among
the guests to be used in making sand
wiches. Though pleasant to the s'ght, they
were impervious to the knife or the teeth,
being composed principally OF cotton,
covered with thin surface OF batter. The
assembly remained in session for an hour
or two and babe the host and hostess

THERE Is world of significance III this
paragraph from the INTELLIGENCEE OF
yesterday:
Benjamin Bihl. who has been in jail
charged with felonionsly assaulting Claude
Butler and with rioting. was admitted to
bail in the sum of $1,000 this afternoon,
before Judge Patterson. The persons
going on the bail bond were Lewis ,. Hart
man. Levi Senseuig, William NJ. Dean.
Anthony F. Bihl, Thomas b. Cochran and
George Miller.
Mr.. Bihl may have very properly been
admitted to bail and it may have been a
very merciful thing to have gone on his
bond. But that it should not have oc-
CURED to five prominent Republicans to
have done so until pending u municipal
election is SO suspicious circumstance.
The inference which is most likely to be
drawn from the pregnant facts in the
above paragraph is one that will hardly
do Mr.. Boring's friends any good.

Mr.. Muybrige's method Of photographing
horses in rapid motion has lately been applied
in San Francisco to the study of human action,
particularly that Of athletes while performing
their feats. In order to display as completely
as possible the movement of the actors mus
Giles, they wore brief trunks only while per-
forming, and thus all the intricate movements
of boxing, wrestling, fencing, jumping and
tumhling were instantaneously and exactly
pictured. The first experiment IVES in photo
graphing an athlete while turning back
somersault He stood in front Of the camera
motionless, and at signal sprang in the air,
turned backward, and in second was again
in his original position, and in his very tracks.
Short as was the time consumed in making the
turn, fourteen negatives were clearly taken,
showing him in as many different positions
The same man was also taken while making q
running high Jump. The jumping gauge was
placed at the four foot notch, in order to give
an easy jump, as in making il fourteen stout
hempcn strings had TO be broken, in order to
operate the mechanism for exposing the sensi-
tive plate at the proper instant. From the
camera to point beyond the line on which
the Jump was made the strings were stretched.
The two base lines were only few inches
above the ground, and from them to the apex
the strings were placed an equal distance
apart in jumping, seven of the strings were
broken in ascending and seven in descending.
The strings were faulty drawn, and SO con-
necied with the camera that rs one parted n
negative was produced Other pictures were
taken of men raising heavy dumb-bels, and
the various movements of boxing, fencing, and
the like

Improvement OF The Sahara.

For some time past there has been consider
able agitation In Europe over some plans for
cutting channel from the Mediterranean into
the deserf-of Sahara. in order to flood a vast
depression that has there been discovered. and
return it to Its supposed original condition Of
land-locked sea. The latest advices from
Paris indicate that the conversion of the pes-
ert OF Sahara into an inland sea might not, af-
ter all, he SO much of blessing to the Cont
pent Of Africa as was claimed when the pro-
jet was first hroached. Its shores would be
as arid as those of the Mediterranean in Tri-
poh, and If the climate should change, the
date crop, which is the principal support of
the natives, would he ruined The routes of
the caravans from Tuuis and Algiers to the in
terror would also be destroyed and the whole
inland trade der,nsed. Ii is also predicted
that the pressure of the mass of water would
produce perturbations in the subterraneap cur
rents which feed the artesian wells in the
cases, and might cause them TO fail, and thus
entail the loss Of hundreds of thousands of
palm trees. Ii is now probable that this pro-
leet Will be abandoned, and railway from
Algeria 10 the mouth of the Senegal River
constructed. The distance from Algiers 10
Tlmhuetoo is about 600 miles, and the COST
of constructing the road is computed at $780,
100000. Soudan contains magnificent rivers,
large lakes and innnmerable shade-trees.
Rice, sugar-cane, cotton aud indigo can be
easily produced there, and it would be merely
a question of time before Algeria and Marseil-
les would reap the benefit of this cultivation
Of the Soudan territory. According to surveys
made from Affreyille TO Laghouat, where the
Sahara proper begins, there appears to be no
mere difficulty in the construction of the road
than Is now met with ON the Algerian rail-
ways. The French exploring parties have not
been further south than Ell Goleah vet, about
20 miles from Laghouat, where dry valley,
known as ollua, stretches 10 the oasis of FL
Goleah. The Sahara Valley contains hard,
rocky soil, and the hills of sand which AT one
ume were believed TO occupy its whole length
and breadth cover, il is now known, only the
ninth part OF It's territory. These sandy hills
are not even considered obstacles 10 the con-
sFrueuon Of railway, and wherever they are
occasionally swept away by the violent winds
tunnels could be built SO as 10 protect the
road- The supply of water for the use of the
engines especially, as at least three trains per
day will have 10 traverse the desert, is what
puzzles the minds OF those who are planning
this railway; but they expect to overcome
this by placing on the various trains tanks
sufficiently large TO contain all the water re-
qulred during twenty-four hours. A railway
across Sahara, and tunnel through the 18TH
mus Of Panama, certainly ought 10 gain for
French engineers a reputation for holiness
and originality in design, il nothing more.

The New Eddyssone lighthouse.

The foundation stone of the new Eddystone
Lighthouse was laid August l9, by the Duke
of Edinburgh. The Eddystone rocks are
situated in the English channel, II miles
southwest of the port of Plymouth and I2Is
from R2me Head. So exposed are they 10 the
ocean swell from the south and west that in
even comparatively calm weather the waves
90 raging and laundering over their lodges,
Snd their name indicates the incessant swirl
Of the deep about them. Most of the work
thus far has had to be done under water, and
owing 10 the force of the waves it could be
carried on only at brief and specially fayora-
bic intervals. II is expected that the high
wateT level Will be reached early next year,
when the construction will proceed more
rapidly, IS the courses Of stones are all accu-
raIely fitted together on shore Probably it
will take five years 10 complete the lighthouse,
which is TO follow generally the lines of the
present one, though it will differ from it
slightly in form and considerably in size. To
5 height Of Isl feet above high water mark
the tower viii be solid, with the exception of
s space for 8 water tank. The side walls
beginning at this level will be So feet thick,
diminishing TO ~ feet at the top. Nothing
but granite viii be used, and the blocks will be
large enough 10 form the entire thickness of
the hollow portion OK the tower. Under the
oornice, whose top is l3s feet from the rock,
the diameter Of the tower Will be lsIz feet; it
viii contain nine rooms, besides the lantern,
being 10 feet high aud the seven uppeTmost
ones Il fee! in diameter. The focal plane of the
new lighthouse will be l3o feet above high
water, as compared with q feet in the present
building, and the actual useful range of the
light viii thus be extended from Ii to liz
miles About $500 tons Of granite will be
employed in the construction, and so tons of
iron for door castings and the ike The fog
bell, erected in 1872, viii be replaced by a
powerful siren and the electric light probably
Be used. The estimated cost of the entire
work Is between $500, 900 and $780, 900.

The Recent CIarhsburg Election.
CLARxsBuR0, W. Va, January 3

SLahhabOhai we 49, SAu0'S ''
Editors IutelligSncer.
This ancient city Of Clarksburg is again
calm after season of intense excitement.
This excitement was caused by the NUM-
cipal election which occurred on the lst
inst.
The temperance men had for their can
didate, Gen. X. S. Northcott, who had
served three years as Mayor in former
days, ending his last term at the begin
ming OF 1870. As a Mayor, he always
administered the municipal laws to the
satisfaction OF the law abiding citizens,
but was ever a terror to violat0rs Of the
law. Z. 3. Hursey, ESQ, the license can.
didate, was very popular with large re.
lationship OF temperance men who voted
for him on account OF family ties. D. @.
Lee, ESQ, son OF the late Judge Lee, a
highly honorable and very popular young
man was also candidate, aud Conrad
Ross, Esq, Justice OF the Peace in this
city, also wished to add the duties Of the
mayoralty to his other judicial business.
Lee and Ross might be considered indie.
pendent candidates, Hursey representing
the license element, and Northcott, the
party.
The independent candidates drew their
votes about equally from the two other
parties.
The town had been thoroughly canvassed
by all the candidates. The temperance
men saw week before the election that
they were defeated, but they did not relax
their efforts.
An immense vote was polled and the re.
suit was as follows: Hursey received 2lS
votes, Northcott l1S, Lee 99, aud Ross 10.
There was also u spirited contest for
School Commissioner. Mr.. William R
and Mr.. John 6. Gettings were
The candidates.
Mr.. !Gettings was elected by small
majority.
A full license council was elected.
We hear but little said about politics.
The Grant boom doesn't boom much here.
Col. Ben Wilson is here attending 10
legal business aud is just the same old
aifable and polite Ben. His Democratic
friends say they are sure Of his renomina-
ion, ALIENS.
