New Orleans Picayune Correspondence

A few days since the public of Munich
saw the walls of their city covered with
immense posters announcing the exhibit
ton of a magnificent orang-outang that
would play the Carnival Of Venice on
the violin. The baboon had great sue
cess for five days; the public agreed he
was che P ganini of balloons. The night
Of the sixth day a spectator was SO indel-
icate as to stick penknife into the
baboon. The variations were more bril-
liant than ever. The nightingale whose
eyes have mercilessly been put out sings
more sweetly than when she enjoyetl
nature fair. Has steel the same effect OIL
the baboon? The indelicate spectator
was an inquisitive fellow; seeking thu
why and because of things has given the
world Newton; so the spectator thinking
that if little pain, such as penknife
gives and increases talent, good deal o
pain might goad talent to genius. H
seized the baboon's tail and pulled will
a wili-now-all together. The tail wa
left in the puilers hands, the baboon'
skin fell to the floor; hidden underneath
it was the father Of the Snowman.

Matrimonial GencraIship.
New Orleans Picayune.l

The connubial management Of Ameri-
can mothers is said to be more skillful
than that Of the practiced danes Of the
Old World. The following story tends
to strengthen the boast: An elder daugh-
ter had sailed from New York with a
party of friends, made the grand tour
Of the Continent, and finally settled
down in Paris for few months Of rest
and recreation. In that gay capital she
had many suitors, two Of whom were
conspicuously eligible. They were 50
evenly matched in every respect that
the young lady, feeling that she could be
perfectly happy with either were tothel
away, wrote to her mamma that she was
in the famous dilemma Of the mule
equally placed between two equally at
tractiye bundles Of fodder. Mamms
cabled her instructions with Cesarear
brevity and Napoleonic promptnes: q
sail tomorrow. Hold both till / come.
Sequel: Not long thereafter mamma at
tended the wedding Of her two daugh
tiers on the same morning at the Ameri
can chapel. She and her daughters still
"hold both"

In the spring of 1865, when Sheridan's
cavalry moved up the Shenandoah Val
lev to have last wrestle with Early's
troopers, a halt was made by portion
of the Union force near Waynesboro'.
Guards were thrown out to protect prop
erty, and among others the house OF a
lone and aged widow received protec-
ton. Two dismounted cavalrymen were
stationed at the front door, and it was
half All hour or so before any stir in and
around the house gave token that it was
inhabited. Then the widow limped to
the door ON crutch and called one Of
the guards to her and asked: ..a
''What. are you doing hereT'
"NVe are guards to protect you and
your property" was the reply.
"Well, you needn't fool away any
time here. Early he come and he tool

our ham and 'taters. Then Sheridan
took our -four and cider. Then Earl,

Rev. L. III. Pearce, of the M. e
Church, in this, city, was absent from
the pulpit last Sunday assisting at a
church dedication in Loudoun, and a
strange minister took his place. Mr.. F.
had just arranged a telephone between
his house and the church, 20 that the
members OF his family whe might have
to remain at home from time 10 time
during the services could hear the
preaching.
The contrivance for collecting and
transmitting the sound was fixed ON o
pedestal with weighted foot SO as to
hold it firmly. 1t was placed on the
platform near the pulpit. The wide,
black mouth of the telephone looked
like the month of an immense cannon
ready to fire upon the audience. The
people who could see il watched it with
suspicion and uneasiness.
Everything moved nicely during the
morning service. until the preacher was
closing his last prayer and was about to
say ''atnen," when, like a clap OF thun-
der or the roar of cannon, the mysterl-
GUS object OH the pulpit seemed to $50
Off and disappeared. The effect on the
audience can not be imagined. Was it
the sound Of the last trumps Had Ga
briel spoken? or had some evil spirit
used the arrangements on the platform to
disturb the sanctity of the holy place?
The congregation started from their
knees as though the Judgment had come
sure enough. The preacher forgot be

saying the usual amen, turued to look
With the disteDded eyes at the ruins OF
the telephone. The organist, however,
took in the stu, ton from the singers
gallery and began "Old Hundred with
all the power Of the organ, ana the con-
gregation, seeing everybody was safe,
and not knowing what else to do, joined
in singing the doxology.
On examination it was found that the
| line had been drawn so tight that one Of
the supporters broke. and the line droop-
ing was caught by passing buggy,
which brought down the apparatus in
the pulpit with an awful crash as above
described. It is said that the preacher
has not yet said "amen" to the closing
prayer OF that service, and it is doubt

rent of electricity passing through the
coils placed behind the arn,atnre is suffi-
eient to liberate an ordinary indicating
tablet and to draw the armature of the
pendulum over and give it Il swinging
motion, which continues for two or three
minutes. The advantages claimed for
these pendulums over any other system
| of calling attention lie in the fact that
they do not need the replacement OF sig
nals, while the swinging pendulum rs
more like to arrest attention where the
bell is not heard. The battery power is
kept up, and there is no reason why the
pendulum should not keep in working
order indefinitely. r
An English writer, in speaking about
the deSirability OF storing electricity for
| lighting purposes, does not believe that
| it is possible, under ordinary conditions,
to accumulate reserve of the dynamic
electricity generated by the dynamo
electric machines SO thatit will be avail
able for light or work. He suggests,
however, that as chemical reaction and
electricity are interchangeable forms OF
energy, a solution of the storing problem
may be found by making the electric
current produce chemical effect, which,
in its turn will produce an electric cur
rent when the primary cause ceases to
act. He advances this practical iilustra-
ton of what he means: The ordinary
Daniel or galvanic battery is composed
of two poles, the one usually cop
per and the other zine, in sOlu
ton of sulphate OF copper. The
galvanic current is produced by the alb
sorption Of zinc into the sulphuric acid
the deposit Of copper upon the coppel
pole. If, NOW, the current OF electricity
be caused to pass through the batter,
from the copper to the zinc, the zine
will be deposited ON the zinc pole ane
the copper reabsorbed to form the SUI
phate Of copper once more. BY thu.
means, if q large number Of chemica
galvanic batteries he used in connection
with dynamo-electric machine, the au
thor thinks that any surplus current, OF
the whole of it, might be employed tt
renovate batteries, and so store up ener
gy that would be at once easily ane
steadily recoverable as dynamic-elee
tricty for lighting and other purposes
Some time since one or more patents
based upon the same general principle
were taken out in this country.

+ The transient visit of the Challenger
to the Antarctic ice-barrier gave her sci
entifc staff the opportunity of examiri-
ing the structure Of the southern ice
berus, which altogether differs from that
of the icebergs with which our northern
navigators are familiar; these last being
now universally regarded az glaciers,
which have descended the seaward val
lees of Greenland and Labrador, and
have ffoated away when no longer sup
ported by a solid base; and the informa-
ton they have gathered is Of considera-
bic interest, as helping us to form a
more definite conception of the condi-
ton Of our own part of the globe during
the glacial epoch. For number OF in
dependent considerations now lead al
most irresistibly to the conclusion that
the icebergs Of the Antarctic are, for the
most part, de tached portions Of a
vast ice-sheet, covering a land surface
either continuous or broken up into an
archipelago Of islands-which occupies
the principal part of the vast circumpolal
area, estimated at about four and hall
millions of square miles, or nearly
double the area of Australia. OF this
ice-sheet, the edge forms the great south
ern "ice- barrier" which presents itself
wherever it has been approached suffi
GENTLY near to be distinctly visible, as {
continuous ice-elift, rising from 200 tt
$50 feet above the sca-level. The ice

While at Huntsville had the pleas

Major Goree, who was for four years on
General Longstreet's staff, and in his ex-
pressions Of warm friendship for the
General, think he but echoes a senti-

under him. {Of course politics are not
considered hcre.) But the ties which tie
the Major to the man of whom General
Lee spoke as "staff in nay right hand, :
are stronger than with the average sol

times Generals Lee, jackson, Longstreet

officers in the Federal army, and every
time the subject was brought up Grant
was conceded to be the ablest officer or
the Federal side; this, too, before GRAM
had distinguished himself BY any grea'

A simple and interesting experiment
in magnetism has been introduced by
Professor Thompson. A thin plate of
hardened steel is written upon with a
magnetized iron style, and the path tra-
versed by the style is thus magnetized.
In order to read what had been written,
iron filings are sprinkled on the plate,
and the plate is then placed in a verti-
| cal position, when, of course. all the
filings fall offexcept those which happen

SERVANT GIRLS KISSES.
How They Are saPpiisg the F0unsla.
tion Of Carson society.

The following from the Carson Ap-
peal, is given weight by the circam-
stance that it was written by minis
ter's son--Sam. Davis-who is supposed
to know a great deal about the subject
he treats OF here:
During the past few weeks very
unladylike epidemic has broken out
among the servant girls Hardly day
passes but one or two of them, hereto
tore carrying spotless reputation, is
caught kissing preacher. 1t seems
strange that servant girl can not
know her place aud attend properly to
household duties intrusted to her care,
without neglecting her work to take
liberties with unprotected preachers
straying about the house alone. A SER
Want who would deliberately take ad-
vantage OF an innocent pastor, should
be utterly tabooed by the employment
agencies and be compelled to find her
level. A minister Of the gospel, earn
estly endeavoring to follow out the
Tamifcations of the plan of salv alton, is
entitled to be protected in his own
house, which is rightiully his castle.
The hired help seem to be getting SO
emboldened by success that no divine
is safe if his wife happens to walk out
for few moments. 1t is high time
that some law was passed in all of the
States clearly defining the duties of
servants and fixing penalties for over
stepping the bounds of modesty. A
preacher has scarcely any show when
once in the clutches Of bold, bad SER
want girl, who cares little for her own
character, and ignores the fact that she
is sapping the foundations of religion
and attacking the bulwarks that have
surrounded the Christian faith for ages
The servant girl should be suppressed,
even if it takes an amendment to the
Constitution to bring about the neces-
sary reform. In crisis like this the
church needs the strong arm of great
Government to protect it.
