PICTURES nv TELEGRAPH.
One OF sase HOS Marvellous Of Modern
Inventions
lAmelican Queen.

lAmelican Queen.l
1t is certainly & fact that, by a recent in
v%ention, pictures of all kinds can now be
sent by telegraph. Colors cannot be trans
mitted, but al pictures which result from
combinations of light and shade, such as
photographs, steel engrayings, Wood-cut
prints, India-ink sketches, pen sketches and
crayon pictures are reproduced in five min
utes, at q distance Of 100 miles, with aston
ishing accuracy. Checks have been SO faith
fully copied by this process chat the copy
has been honored at the bank without ques-
ton. New York newspapers have been re-
produced in Philadelphia entire-the image
being sent by telegram, and every faintest
dot and blemish brought out On paper. We
should be glad to tell the readers Of the Queen
exactly how this is done, but it is by . chem
ical process SO complicated as to defy ex-
PLANTATION in ordinary terms. Nature (the
recognized authority in science in England,
comes as near as possible, perhaps, when it
says: Sin the transmitter, the image was TO-
cussed ON q revolving cylinder, to which a
selenium cell is attached. At the other end
of the wire q platinum point presses against
the surface OF sensitive paper prepared BY
passing it through q strong solution of equal
parts Of lodide Of potassium and water. The
arrangement is such that the selenium cell,
by interrupting the current, causes a white
spot to appear on the receiver corresponding
in size and shape to the picture focused on
the transmitting cylinder. The experiments
are as yet crude, but full of promise" This
is not quite intelligent to the average reader,
because the facts of the case call for scien-
tiic terms, and cannot be expressed in popu-
lar phraseology. But the important fact is
that the pictures are sent; that photographs
are admirably reproduced at distance; and
that, if the promise Of the invention is full
filed, a New York paper will soon be re-
printed in Chicago on the very day, and per-
haps the very hour Of issue. So much that
is incredible has been made q fact during the
last half century that he must be 8 bold man
who ventures to place a boundary to the pos
sible achievements of scientific ingenuity in
this wonderful age.

a LANGUAGE FROM TRUTHFUL
RIOS.

RIOS.
Which I wish to remark
And my language is plain
For ways that are dark,
and for tricks not in vain, "
The heather Jim Gee Is peculiar,
AND so is the heather Jim Blaine.
Jim Gee was bis name,
And | always thought that
He was gentle and tame,
And as weak as q cat; .
For his smile it was pensive and childtiker
AsI often remarked to Tom Platt.
It was March twenty-third,
And quite soft were the skies,
Whence it might be inferred
That Jim Gee was likewise,
But he played On that day upon InoNas
And NIX in q way / desplse.
Which he did nominate
Woodford. PayH, all the band
That were dow on my slate,
And played into my hand; "."
And he smiled as he sat in the White House
a smileI could not understand
Yet the game was not fair,
Iregret to disclose,
'Twould have made 8 man swear
How | trod On his toes
and drove his hat in on his shoulders,
And the same with intent to bulldoze-
But the point that was made =
BY that heather Jim Gee
When [ thought him afraid
Was quite frightfui to see;
For Robertson he made Collector, -
And the same without consulting ME-.
Then / looked upon Plat,
And Platt gazed upon me,
And he stamped on his hat
and said "Well, I'll be d-i
We gre ruIned Dy this nomination.
Let US 60 for the heather Jim Gee!"
In the game that ensued
did just take a hand.
And the struggle was vieWed
With alarm through the land,
And I found that Jim Gee was 8 Tartar,
Though his smile was SO chIldlike and bland.
He called back the names
Of Payn, Woodford, all mine
Old friends, and said: flames
Fights it out on this line
Although 1t should take him al summer"
So what could L do but resign?
Which is why / remark,
And / say it with pain, -
For ways that are dark
And for tricks not in vain
The heather Jim Gee is peculiar,
And so Is the heather Jim Blaine! -Chic.

A PIucky Little Fellow.

A few days ago, while DR.. c. j. Bur
roughs was attending member Of Mr.. VIM.
Fishers family, on the Louisville road, a
negro thief stole bis whip from his buggy,
which had been left in charge of little
Willie Fisher, not quite twelve years old.
The little fellow saw the thief, and, OF
course, being unable to cope with him
physically, ran into the house and secured
a little single barreled shot gun. Seeing
the gun the negro ran, and Immediately he
was pursued by the boy, who fired at MIN.
The shot so frightened the thief that he fell
but, fearing that he would be treated TO
another load, he jumped on his feet again,
and made tracks faster than ever; so fast,
indeed, that he didn't take time to pick up
the whip, which, 10 his fright, he had
dropped. The little fellow secured his
prize, and received hearty congratulations
over the exhibition Ofyouthful pluck which
he evinced.

Steel Rails.

The New York Shipping List remarks that
Smong home industries none has shown a
more extraordinary growth than the manu-
facture OF steel rails. Since the introduc-
ton of the Bessemer process in this country
In 1867, the production has increased from
1850 tons In that year to 954, AGO net tons or
$50, 1876 gross tons in 1880. A more just sp-
probation Of this enormous growth may be
gathered from the fact that we have actually
exceeded the production of Great Britain,
the most important iron producing and iron
manufacturing country in the world. The
figures compare as follows: Production of
Bessemer steel rails by the United States In
1880, 652, 1856; production OF Bessemer steel
rails by Great Britain in 1880, 739, 910;
excess of production by the United
States, liz, 2S6. The increase from
1879 was nearly 600 tons, and the pro-
duct of 1881 is expected to be the largest
on record, some placing the estimate as high
as $50 900 net tons, but, while these fig
ures are possible, 1t is scarcely probable that
such an output will be kept up, since the
large increase of the past four years has
been In great measure due to the eXtgen-
c!es arising from the somewhat sudden re-
vival Of railroad building which came with
the tide of prosperity first felt in the sum-
year, will have reached the zenith of It's de-
velOpment and growth, and from thence on
for period show gradual decline. With,
however, so enormous mileage as this
country now possesses, the yearly require
ments for alteration and repair will absorb
many thousand tons OF the product Of our
rolling mills"

FORSYTH PARK.
What Has Been Done since the
storm, and How IL Looks.

Since the storm of last August, which did
such great damage In this city and neigh
borhood, as well as in Forsyth Park, Mr..
Moves, the energetic Park superintendent,
has been busily engaged in removing the
numerous trees that were blown down and
clearing away the debris then caused,
until he has placed the enclosure
in nearly as clearly a condition as
il was previous to that calamity. He has
with bis force performed a very large
amount of labor, and deserves the consider
alton Of all our citizens for his indefatigable
efforts to put that great lung of the city In
its former excellent condition. We have
already stated the number Of valuable trees
that were destroyed aud damaged,
among them some of the largest
and Oldest OF the pines. Some
OF these pines were, according to the rings
which designate their age, over one nun
dred and ten years old, and were literally
giants OF the forest. To judge OF the force

look at the remnants OF these trees. Ihey
we're literally torn up from the ground,

GEORGIA INFIRNARY.
SAVANNAH, October 8, 1eat

THE Board Of Trustees of the Georgia h
i Urinary or Hospital for colored persons
are constrained herewith to appeal to gener-
GUS public for pecuniary assistance in behalf
of the institution committed to their charge.
The recent storm on the 26th of August ulti-
mo inflicted extensive and serious damage
upon the Hospital building, almost totally
destroying the roof, and rendering the upper
wards entirely uninhabitable. The repairs
which have thus been rendered necessary, in
order to restore the structure to usefulness,
have involved an expenditure which the limited
resources of the institution can ill afford to
meet, and the Trustees are compelled, there
fore. to ask for assistance from without. The
Board feel assured that, notwithstanding the
fact that many calls are made upon our peo-
pie, that this appeal on behalf of their trust
will meet with that substantial recognition
which our citizens are always ready to extend
to a worthy object, and that the unrewarded
efforts OF the Trustees to minister to the wants
end necessities of the sick poor Of our colored
population will meet that appreciation which
mey justly be expected.
JOHN n LEWIS,
President Of the Board.

Spread its protecting arms athwart the skies
And, set thereon, like jewels crystal clear,
The souls magnanimous, that knew not fear,
Flashed their effulgence on his dazzled ey es.

The CONDITION OF sergeant Harvey,


We regret to lean that the condition of
Sergeant Harvey of the police force, who was
shot during the riots on the 18th of Septem-
Der last while performing his official
duty, is very critical. 1t WAS thought, a
few days since that he was decidedly on
the mend, but a day or two ago he met
with relapse, and we were sorry to learn
last night that his physicians, Drs. McFar-
land and Read, regard him as seriously i'll.
Sergeant Harvey is one of the most fear
less and active Of our police, always ready
to do his duty, and never fipching from
any call made upon him. His loss would
prove indeed severe one. Despite his pre-
sent unfavOrable condition, we still trust he
may speedily recover, and that the mis-
creant who shot him may be caught and
punished to the utmost limit OF the law
By reference to our Council proceedings, it
will be seen that a reward Of three hundred
dollars for the capture Of the dastsrdly per
petrator OF the act is to be offered by the
Mayor, aud we hope 1t may have the effect
of bringing the rascal to justice.
