NJ. Javel has lately published additional
observations on the mode in which the
eve ''tal5es I'M the successive letters on
printed page. We are not to suppose,
he says, that in reading line one
passes successfully from the lower part
of letter to the upper part, then down
the next letter, up the next, and so on,
the vision describing a wavy line. The
fixation takes place with extreme pre-
cision along a straight line, traversing
the junction of the upper third OF the
| letter with the lower twO-thirds. Why
is this line not in the middle? Because
characteristic parts of the letters are
more frequently above than below, In
the proportion of about seventy-tive per
cent. That this is so we can see by APP
plying on a line of topographic char
| acters a sheet of paper, covering the
/ line in its lower two-thirds and leaving
the upper third exposed. We can then
/ read the letters almost as well as well as
if thew had not been concealed in
greater part. But the case is very diff
ferent if we cover the upper two-thirds
of the line; the lowest third alone does
not furnish sufficient for recognition.
| The characteristic part of the letters,
then, is chiefly in their upper portion.
/ NJ Javel next compares the ancient
topographic characters with those of
modern books, and maintains that the
latter have too much uniformity, so
that, taken IN their upper parts alone,
many of them NAV be confounded in
reading The old letters, on the other
hand, had each a particular sign by
which they could be easily distinguished
The Elzeviriana, for example, has no
resemblance to o, the could not be
confounded with the n, as now, nor the
or e with the o, the b with h, etc.
This too great uniformity in the upper
part of topographic characters should
be corrected, since it is to that part we
chiefly look in reading.

spontaneous combustion. One of the
men employed in painting the board

wrapped his painting clothes compact

light material onto it, and left. Very
late at night the inmates of the hall
were awakened by dense and suffoca-

and on investigation, it was ascertain
ed that the smoke came from the base

had deposited his bundle. Had he de-
posted it above, the building would
have been seriously damaged, if not to-

Down on Foreigners.

Mr.. Blaine's Legislature has insugu-
rated a move against foreigners in
Maine by proposing al amendment to
the Constitution of the State limiting
the right of suffrage to those who are
able to read and write the English lam
guago.' This is the old Know-Noth.
ing spirit, of which Mr.. Blaine was an
active member in 1854, revived. A
large number of German emigrants
settled in Name, and no matter what
their education may be in their own
language they are not to be voters in
Maine until they can read and write
English. There are but few negroes
up in Maine, and thus the proposed
amendment to the Constitution would
not harm the Republican party in that
direction.

will not be made on an AntiGrant,
but on an Anti-Third Term platform,
and arrangements have been made for
the holding of Mass Convention in
an expression of the sentiment on that
question. A number of very promi-
nent Republicans are enlisted in the
movement. and it is likely that large
number of signers will be procured to
a call which will be circulated as a
preliminary step in the anti-boom.
Ex-senator Henderson is very pro-

on Thursday night last occasioning
great destruction of property and the
loss of several lives. At Cleveland the
roof of the Female Seminary,o ,on Wood
and avenue was lifted bodily and ash
ed to the ground, leaving the inmates
shelterless, who in their fright ran
screaming en- diSd6iHe to the neighbor-
ing houses for shelter. In the Eigh-
teenth Ward the whole west end of a
new building of the Cleveland Rolling
mill Company was crushed in, while
the roof was carried several hundred
feet beyond. A dozen workmen who
were attempting to close the large
doors in the west end of the building
were buried behind the falling tim
bers. Their Mortified comrades set
Immediately to work to rescue the
buried men. The foreman, Julius
Brown, was pulled out from the debris
dead, he having. been killed instantly /:

[From the Dayton Journal, tRepublican.)l
An old soldier now residing at the
Home was in the Journal office last
evening and stated his desire to dis
approve the statement made in an ar
ticle published in yesterdays Journal.
The article was special taken from
the Cincinnati Times of Wednesday
evening, and related to the case of
Fitz John Porter. In the statement,
G. d. Ayers, q Baptist minister of
Bridgeport, Conn.,, says thattWO nights
previous to the second battle of Bull
Run he (Ayers) came upon General
Porter about IL O'Clock in CONVERSE
ton with three rebel Generals, one of
whom was Robert E. Lee. Porter, he
says, in fear of his life, charged Ayers
not to say anything of what he had
seen, and Ayers now charges Porter
| in consequence with treachery and
with plotting to betray the interest OF
| his army to the Confederates.
| What this old soldier states places
| Ayers in different position and
makes his statement groundless. The
soldier says that he was at that time
and for several nights previous to the
second battle of Bull Run, detailed
with his company to special duty al
guard at the headquarters of Genera
Fitz John Porter. lie has especial re-
membrance of. the night in question
as that, night he saw the three mer
whom Ayers designated "rebel Off
GERS" but who were in fact not rebe
officers, but Union officers in Confed
crate uniform, for the purpose of .
scouting expedition within the enc
my's lines. He says that he knows
this to be fact, and can prove it b.
others, and can give the names of the
officers, one of whom is still living
The soldier did not wish his nam,
mentioned in this connection, but says
he would testify to the above if i
were necessary.
