An Extraordinary Correspondence.

A correspondence with hair was once
attempted between q notorious Partisan
thief in durance vile and his comrades
outside. A letter was sent to the pris-
oner from his sweetheart, containing
merely lock Of hair wrapped in the leaf
of book. The jailor did not consider
the souvenir important enough to be de-
livered; but in a few days there came q
similar inclosure, and yet another. This
aroused suspicion, and the governor
| took the matter in hand. He examined
the leaf of the book; it was that Of
common novel, twsnty-six lines on
page. Then he studied the hair
and noticed the small quantity Of
the gift. Counting the hairs, he found
them of unusual length, and twenty-six
in number, the same as the lines on the
page. Struck with the coincidence, he
laid the hairs along the lines of the page
which they respectively reached; begin
ming at the top with the smallest hair.
After some trouble he found that the end
OF each hair pointed to different letter,
and that these letters combined formed .
strong sentence which informed the
prisoner that his friends were on sthe
watch, and that the next time he left the
prison to be examined an attempt would
be made to rescue him. The governor
laid his plans accordingly. The attempt
was made, but the rescuers fell into their
own trap.

According to the London Ielegrdph,
one of the greatest boons to miners, on
the score of safety, is the new miners
lamp, in which the light of phosphores
cence is substituted for that of positive
ignition. In this apparatus the interior
OF the screen is covered with brightly
luminous paint, and there is, therefore,
nothing in its construction or character
that can by any means become q source
OF danger. Such q contrivanee, if an
swering the capacity claimed for it, must
be OF peculiar value, pecuniarily eonsid-
cred, in preventing the destruction of
property by explosion. But the great
advantage of such lamp over those now
IN common use is its insuring against
peril from which the Davy lamp cannot
protect the workmen. If that lamp bo
carried against current of air mixed
with fire damp, the explosive gas pene-
trates through the gauze, and comes in
actual contact with the flame, catastro-
phe being the natural result of such con-
tact; obviously, however, no risk of this
sort could be involved in the use of a
phosphorescent light by miners.
Experiments made in France by NM.
Savigny and Colineau have resulted in
the production of some valuable dyes
from the common garden eabbage-that
is they have succeeded in extracting from
red cabbage, or broccoli, coloring mat
ter which is claimed to be absolutely in
offensive, and capable OF application in
| all the ordinary operations of painting,
| printing and dyeing. The leaves of the
plant are for this purpose cut into small
pieces, thrown into boiling water in the
proportion of three pounds of the leaf to
three htres of water, and there left to
macerate for twenty-four hours; at the
end of this time they are withdrawn and
subjected to strong pressure, the juices
expressed by this means being added to
the liquor infusion. AS thus obtained,
| the substance-to which the name OF
"cauline" has been given-is of blue
violet color, and forms the base of q
series of derivatives of various colors.

particulars are as follows:
Mrs. Sass was in a buggy on FRS

driving along she was hailed by a friend,
and drew in rein,. stopped the horse and
sat eonversing. when hack driven by
James Wheelock. came along, and before
it could be avoided. the hack came in COL
lision with one of the wheels of the buggy
in which Mrs. Sass was seated, overturn-
ing it, and throwing Mrs. Sass to the
ground. The hack;driver stopped at once
got down off his hack, helped Mrs. 8. into
bis hack and took her home. where her
injuries were dressed by DR.. Calf. Her
left arm was broken below the shoulder.
and bruised below the elbow, and besides
she sustained a severe shock.
The hack driver says he was not driv,
Ing recklessly. and is very sorry the acci-
dent happened. he says that he
tried TO turn off. and barely grazed
the buggy. but that the hack being
SO much heavier than the buggy, the lat.
ter was overturned before he could pre-
vent it. He says he is con6dens that.
had anyone been standing near the buggy
it could have been saved from overturn-
ing.

no matter how careful you are to prevent
it. Those who saw the affair, are gener-
