MILESTONE Material Shipped From the
Mississippi Valley to France.

Mr.. EMILE KARsT, the French Con,
sui, yesterday shipped from here seven
barrels of Arkansas and Wichita stone to.
Sorgnes, in the department of Vaucluse,
near Marseilles France. The stone is
said to be of the finest quality for homes
or fine whetstones for sharpening en-
craving tools and tools used in machiu.
cry. This is the first shipment made
direct to that part of France, and illus
trates some curious phases of commerce.
Here is a little town In France, scarcely
ever heard of, sending for an article of
commerce this side of the Mississippi,
which is scarcely known to Americans.
The quarry containing this peculiar
milestone is near the Hot Springs in
Arkansas. Mr.. Karst, who is the medi-
um through whom this first experiment
is made, mentions some curious varia-
tions in the tariff on freight, the cost OF
freight from st. Louis to Marseilles, in
France, being fraction only more than
from Hot Springs to St. Louis. He
found that the freight from Havre to
Alsaee, across the breadth of France,
some 300, miles, is as much as from st.
Louis to Havre, over 5000 miles.--St.
Louis Republican.

ligaments. removed all apparatus,
and commenced training her TO use the
muscles. Being an intelligent girl and
anxious TO get well, she made every ef-
fort TO accomplish what i desired. In
three weeks, while resting upon her
crutches, she could take up either limb
and move IL forward as In the act of
walking, and eventually recovered so as
to walk without any artificial support.
Another lady, from Springfield, Mass,
aged tWenty-eight, had been unable to
use her right leg for twenty-six years
she had upon her iron limbs as in the
other case. The treatment was the
same as in the case above. It was sew
eral days before l could perceive that the
patella was moved in the least; when
first noticed it resembled more the con-
traction of an artery than that of q
muscle. From the progress of the
case it was evident that the weakness
of the contractions was owing TO the al
most perfect absence of muscular fiber,
and not to the want of nervous inhu-
euce. The last information had from
her was that she could walk the street
by the aid of a cane without any artificial
support TO the limb. The paralyzed
part in this case was well nourished,
being thickly covered with adipose tis-
sue, yet apparently destitute of museu-
lar fiber. The simple increase of the
size Of limb by various modes of
passive exercise does not afford the
least evidence that there has been
gain of muscular power. It is believed
that enough has been said upon the
manner Of educating the win as the
foundation of all real success in the
treatment of paralysis, more especially
infantile, to direct to its consideration
the thoughtful and serious attention of
our medical brethren. If my expert
ence, running through long period, in
the treatment of these and Kindred diff.
ficulties is worth any thing, 1, in all
modesty, believe it is entitled to fair
and impartial trial in conscientious and
trustworthy hands. do not wish to be
understood, from the preceding re-
marks, to assert that no other method
succeeds, but that the mode advised has
proved in my hands the most direct,
rational, speedy and satisfactory.

NIhnIsts, Sons Of Priests.

TWO sons of orthodox priests in the
Russian Church have been tried with
three other Nihilists at Kieff and CON
demned to death by hanging. Both had
been students of theological seminaries
from which they were expelled, One Of
them, named Bozinsky, joined the
Servian army after his expulsion and
fought against the Turks. Being
wounded he returned to Russia, where
he was drafted into the reserves, becom-
ing in short time a non-commissioned
officer. At the trial he was accused Of
being an active member of the Socialist
party, of writing revolutionary letters
and Of striking a military guard while
going TO prison. The judges deliberat-
cd two hours and a half on their verdict.
1t is believed the death sentence was
due more to the fact that he happened
10 be a soldier, so that his case gave an
opportunity 10 set an example than to
any thing actually proved against him

Mr.. TIIden,s Plans.

At last we have some reliable news
as to what Mr.. Tilden intends TO do,
or, rather, concerning several things
that he has decided upon. As his va
rious plans come through Ieracious
Washington correspondents, whose
sources of information were found i'm
sevstal "reliable Democrats" who have
been bosom friends of Mr.. Tilden since
his youth, we can rest in the belief
that the truth has been discovered ut
last.l In ordef to more concisely state
the various Intentions of Old Usufruct,
we place the situation in numerical or
der:
First. He will stick by the party and
be nominated in spite of Mr.. John
Kelly.
Second. He will close up that little
trouble with Mr. Kelly and 90 to Gin
cinnati with the solid Empire State at
his back.
Third. He will withdraw, because his
friends believe the good of the party so
dictates.
Fourth. He does not even hope to be
nominated, but is keeping the lead of
his party in order to appoint political
heir at the moment of his own dissolu-
tion,
Fifth, He will Withdraw in favor of
Mr., Randall.
Sixth. Also in favor of Mr.. Jewett.
Seventh. Also for Mr.. Groesbeck.
Eighth. And Mr.. Payne. .
Ninth. Or for some other man.
Tenth. He will turn up at Cincinnati
with half score of barrels, run ell the
hotels, fill the city with the noise of a
thousand hired men, and take the prize
away without opposition.
1t will, of course, keep the old gentle
man rather busy to fulfill all these con-
tracts, but what time and strength he
lacks can be supplied by the correspond
ents who placed these obligations upon
him. The country will, at least, be
pleased to know just what Mr.. Tilden
proposes to do under the political stress
that events have placed upon him.

Paralysis Not a Hopeless Disease.

WILL state two cases to show that a
long existence of paralysis does not al
ways interfere with rapid recovery,
says DR.. Henry G. Davis in the Medical
and Surgical Journal, A young lady
from Troy, N. Y, came under my care,
with paralysis of both lower limbs since
early life. They were strapped with
irons, both inside and outside of each
limb, extending from the pelvis to the
sole of the boots, with contriyanoe at
the knee for rendering them inaexible.
She walked with orutches, swinging
both limbs forward, and, the irons being
stiff, she could bear her weight upon
them as upon two artificial limbs, When
the irons were taken off the ankles

Bd5~ The election on Monday demon
strated one thing very clearly, and that
is that the party yoke is not very bind
ing this year. About ten per cent. OF
the Democratic voters in the State
turned the yoke and headed away from
the leaders, In many localities unpopu-
lar and unworthy candidates were de-
feated when their party was largely in
the majority. Moral: Never attempt
to defeat measures of reform from
party considerations, and nominate
good men if you wish TO succeed. .-lR-

The COrsican Brothers.

The story of the "Corsican Brothers is said to have been suggested to Dumas by an incident that occurred to Louis Blanc. M. Blanc and his brother close ly resembled each other in manner, per son and features, and they were, more over, connected by that mysterious feel ing which, when they were separated, made each sympathetically conscious of what happened the other. One day, while the brother Louis was enjoying himself among 8 party of friends, he was observed suddenly to change color; he complained of sensation as if he had received blow upon the head, and avowed his firm conviction that some thing must have befallen his brother, then in Paris.
 The company treated this as a mere imaginary notion, but some, more curi- ous than the rest, noted the day and hour to see how far this warning was justified by the actual event. And the result was that at the precise moment Louis, while walking in the streets of Paris, had been knocked down by blow upon the head, dealt by some one who approached him unperceived from be- hind. He fell senseless to the ground, and the ruffians escaped, nor could all the efforts of the police afford the slight est clew for his detection. He was sus- pected to have been Bonapartist, in- fuenced by political hatred of the un- compromis ing Republican.

Whirlp0Ols.

The Colorado River is noted fol "swirls," so-called. They occur every where, but only at high stages of water. A bubble rises from the bot tom, and breaks with slight sound on the surface. The water at the po1nt be- gins rotary motion so small that an inverted tea-cup might cover it. Lar ger and larger grows the circle till a surface of forty feet in diameter is in motion, spinning round a funnel-shaped hole in the center, two or three feet across the top, and coming to point in the depths below. Often large tree floating down the stream is caught, and its foremost end thrust in the air twenty or thirty feet while the other passes underneath, the exposed end to be slowly drawn down again to disap- pear.
 Soldiers - deserters from Camp Mohave-passing through the ravine in 8 skiff, immediately below the fork, suffered their craft to run into a swirl. One of their crew, at the first intimation of danger, threw himself overheard beyond the charmed circle {; and as he swan away, he turned his head and saw the boat spin round and round until one end being drawn into vortex and the other upheaved in the air, it slowly sank, as it revolved, into the turbid bosom of the river, its hu- man freight 10 be seen no more; for the Colorado River does not give up the dead-no corpses lodge on its shores.

A New Use for Burnt Cork.
HOW A YOUNG WHITE GIRL WAS ENABLED TO MARRY NEGRO IN ULSTER COUNTY.

Social circles at Gardner, Ulster county, N. Y., are greatly excited at present over the elopement and marriage of Miss Carrie M. Plant, a young white woman, with James w. Sampson, a mulatto. Miss Plant is @ niece of MT, John H. Deyo, well-to-do farmer resid- ing in the town of Gardner, who during the war was extensively engaged in trad ing along the Mississippi and was esti- mated to be worth $150,OO0 He was we'll known at New Orleans and there abouts. After the war MT. Deyo settled down on his farm in this county, and as he was childless his niece, Carrie Plant, was adopted into the family. During the pastsummer MT. Deyo, being sick and unable to assist in the working of his farm, hired James Wesley Samp- son, young colored man about twenty one years of age. He was 8 good worker, polite and pleasant about the house and farm, and soon won the good will and respect of those about him. After time it was noticed that Wesley was paying Miss Plant too much atten- tion, and her uncle a few weeks ago con- cluded that it would be advisable to send his niece off on visit for a month or so But before he could make his intentions known both Wesley and his niece were missing. Search was at once instituted, but without avail. The climax was reached on Saturday, when it was dis covered that after encountering many difficulties the runaway pair had been made man and wife. Sampson and his bride, it finally leaked out, had visited number of ministers and Justice of the Peace, but under no circumstances would they listen to their entreaties to be married. They had about given up in despair, and left for the house of one James Cantine, who keeps 8 low resort. There the wife of Cantine Ca white woman) resolved that the pair should be united even if she had to resort to strategy. It was decided that Miss Carries face should be blackened with burnt cork. This was done, and the pair started off to the parsonage of the Reformed Dutch Church of Stone Ridge, where Rev. V. s. Hurlbert, the pastor, without for moment suspecting the de- ception, united them ill wedlock. When the news reached her former home her uncle was nearly crazed. Sampson and his wife have settled down at Lapala, negro colony not far from Kingston. Miss Plant, who is now about seventeen years of age, would have fallen heir to the larger part of the property of her uncle, who is estimated to be worth from $6O, 1000 to $70,000.

A New System of Apprenticeship.

The difficulty in getting thoroughly qualified machinists, and the practical failure of the old system of apprentice ship, have led manufacturing firm in Springfield, Mass, to devise new plan involving both school and shop work. For beginners, under twenty years of age, the term of apprenticeship is fixed at six years. In this time it is believed that an apprentice will be able to ac- quire theoretical and practical knowl- edge needed to make him @ frst-class journeyman. Those who are over twen- ty years of age are allowed to finish their apprenticeship in five years, and those who have worked in a shop are advanced according to proficiency. The beginner is first put to drawing from sketches, then takes up projection and diagram, and advances regularly accord ing to his ability. It is believed that in this way one year will qualify him as well to work from drawings as four or five years ordinarily. All applicants are taken from four to twelve weeks
 trial, and if not satisfactory are then dismissed. For the first years labor five cents per hour is paid to those un- der eighteen, six cents to those who are eighteen, and seven cents to those who are twenty and upwards: for the next years the rate is advanced to six, eight, ten, and twelve cents. The firm also pay two cents per hour additional in- to 8 reserve fund, which is paid to those apprentices who finish their full term of service for the six years this amounts to $4OO.
 The organizers of this scheme, Messrs. Richards & Dole, propose to require of each apprentice fifty eight hours a week of shop work and inc hours of study. This, we are in- clined to think, is too much work and too little study to secure the best re- suits, especially with the younger ap- prentices. Still the plan is we'll worth @ fair trial. It is said that the appli- cants for apprenticeship already exceed the number that can be taken, which speaks well for the plan and for the young mechanics of Springfield.
