Ar THE National industrial Exhibition

Ar THE National Industrial Exhibition
in Milan was exhibited an electrical
voting apparatus, designed by Signor
Roncelli, a member of the italian Par
lament. The idea is simply as follows =;
Each member Of the house has in front
OF him q metal plate bearing his name.
Tho plato is furnished with three metal
buttons, marked respectfully, aye, ;"
"No" and "Abstain." This plate IS in
connection with central printing APP
paratus, which prints in three separate
columns the yeas, noes and abstainers,
according as the members depress their
respective buttons. A fourth column
marks the absentees. At the moment of
recording each vote, number cores
ponding with the number Of the vote
appears, so that the total may be seen
at glance. BY this system, members
can vote and keep their seats, great
saving Of time being thus affected.

The August number of the North American Review devotes liberal share of it's space to polemlcal duel between Col Ingersoll, the great exponent of the unbelief of the day, and Judge Jeremiah $. Black, the eminent jurist. Col lngersoll is master, of some of the most effective arts of the rhetorician and the pop ular orator. AS an assailant of 'evealed re ligion he has more chance of success in con- firming the skeptical and carrying away the wavering than perhaps any other infidel of modern times. He is engaged in constant aggressive attack, and the audiences which applaud him afford evidence that he is pro. ducing effect. Judge Black is distinguished alike for his steadfast faith in orthodox Chris tianity and for the power and skill with which he IS able to sustain any cause in which his convictions are enlisted. He IS, like the challenger, man of the world in his serious occupations aud modes of thought. He is ac. customed to contests in the arena of public discussion and to the use of all the weapons ot controversy by which men are convinced he is familiar with the arguments that have.been used by the defenders of his cause, and he has the nerve and vigor of born disputant Col Ingersoll has made his attack in the Review and sustained it with all his force as an ag- gressive assailant. Judge Black has taken up the challenge as the champion of Christianity It is we'll that the daring infidel should be called out and that he should be met by such an antagonist The cause of truth can have nothing to fear from 8 contest of this kind. Of the merits of the battle it is for an inter- ested public to judge.
 Other articles Tn the August number of the Review are: Obstacles to Annexation" by Frederick G. Mather; "Crime and Punish ment in New York;" by Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby; "A Militia for the Sea- by John Roach Astronomical Observatories," by Pref. Simon Newcomb; and ''The Public Lands of the United States," by Thomas Donaldson.

History of u tchfeld County.

Ar. Editor .--I see in your paper and oth- CTS, critisisms of our new County History. The writers no doubt speak of what they are censervant of, and know what they are talk ing about. So far as that part of the territory of the County formerly included in Ancient Woodbury" is concerned, the errors discov- cred by me are not more numerous, than is usual in similar historical works. Errors are inevitable in every such undertaking.
 The principal sins, which discover in the work are;the sins of omission, some of which were pointed out by Mir. Graves in your last issue. The publishers seemed to measure their effort in any particular town by the number of subscribers obtained. In Wood bury for instance the number of subscribers was naturally small, because the town was full of the more elaborate History of the town in three large octave volumes.
 By urgent and persistent solicitation, wrote the article on Woodbury for the work. l took more pains with it, especially the latter portion of it, as living persons would discover errors in that more readily than in the ancient history. Aa said above, the number of sub scribers here was small. There was not therefore, an inducement to give any more space to Woodbury, than was convenient. In point of fact, the County History ''closes Woodbury out, at the peace of 17S3. It's history for the last ninety-eight gears is left out, the manuscript rejected. So far as the history is concerned, Woodbury ceased to ex ist, unless an infer nee of life might be in ferred from the publication of tables of officers &c Of course am not proud of this emas- culation of my article.

Not a Fools Brand"

A week or two since bright, active octo. genarian, Johu Baldwin by name. formerly a resident of this place, called at our office. He He is just as keen Yankee as ever, spite of his having been away from us over fifty years. In 1897 he taught the Beach Street Scoool
 The following spring he removed to Middle burgh, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. There were then less 100 people in the Township. It now numbers 6000; has seven churches, Ger
 man and English College with 500 students, and graded school with an attendance of 800; two banks; 3 large stone sawmills, and quarries turning out from 50 to 100 car loads of stone daily. Selling out his land in Ohio, he removed to Louisiana, and from the follow
 ing account of his experience there, written out by him at our request, it seems that he was not ''one of the fools" of whom Judge
 Tourgee writes so eloquently. The story he tells is not at all sensational one, but it shows clearly that his enterprise has not only been pecuniary success, but that it has been great deal more-it has started an hundred families ou the road to independence and pros
 perity. The plan he pursued is very simple, and very sensible. Could it not be as success ful in other hands as it is in his :? ED. ENo. I
 MR EDrroR.-As have spent the most of my time, since 1868, lu St Marys Parish. Louisiana, about 100 miles southwest of New Orleans, am thinking little of what I have seen and learned that might be of use if known
 Soon after the war 1 purchased over four thousand acres of land, at sheriff sales, which gave me good title. After surveying most of the land into small farms. l sold them to over 100 families. fifty of whom have paid up and received deeds. Most of the balance will pay as they can, in cane. wood or work i; and, as have a sugar refinery, such pay to me is as good as cash The Freedmen have their meeting houses and their school prlvile- ges; they seem to be contented, and have no desire to go to Kansas or Liberia. Our soilis good after being used over 15O years, it bears good crops. Our climate is healthy, being far from the extreme of heat or cold, as in the North. Numbers of health seekers have been benefited, myself aliionp the number. When 1 went South had catarrh. which was threatning my life. The second season was entirely cured and do not feel any older than when I went South. believe lhere are many in the North who are suffering with lung complaints which are occasioned by sudden changes and severe cold

Watertown,


 The wounded man. here, keeps even pace with the President. On Tuesday he was re- ported to be much worse, but the bad symp- toms gradually disappeared, and now his re- covery is confidently predicted According to the Medical Journal, he has escaped the greatest danger that menaced the President too many doctors. That magazine said it was on record that one patient survived the attend ance of four physicians, but the instances of such survival were quite rare.
 The suspension of the Waterbury Inde- pendent, daily that grew out of the Valley Index, is much to be regretted. The little two cent paper was prompt to report general news, very just and sensible in it's criticisms, and the comments on political changes character ized by good common sense. An editor like MT. Morrow will not long be laid on the shelf, and we hope his next venture will be sue cess. |

INTERNATIONAL REVIEW for August The table of contents for the August number of dhe International Reyiew is inviting enough to tempt the attention and reward thorough reading. George w. Julian opens the num- Der with most entertaining chapter of Rem. iniscences of the Tbirty-f1rs Congress" the Congress which first evidenced decided ele- snent of anti slavery sentiment, and had Web ster, Clay, Calhoun, Benton, Cass, Douglass, Seward. Chase. Bell, Berrien, Soule, Davis of Mississippi, Dayton, Hale, Ewing, Corwin, .leus Stevens Winthrop, Ashmun, Allen, Cobb of Georgia, Mcdowell, Giddings, Pres
 ton King, Horace Mann, Marshall Orr, Schenck, Stanley, Toombs, Alexander H.
 Stephens. and Vinton, for members. The &C., complisLed pen of MT Julian, who was him. self member of this Congress, could scarcely fail of drawing great interest from such a theme. The younger portion of this genera ton will find much information in the article which they can scarcely afford to do without. College Graduates iH the Ministry" is the topic selected by Rev. Charles F. Thwing for an article of considerable interest and value. He finds that the percentage of graduates from the seven principal American colleges who have entered the ministry. has steadily decreased since 1850. and explains the cause. Eugene l.. Didier writes of 'An American Bonaparte, s-Jerome Napoleon Bo-
 naparte, son of the weak brother of the great Napoleon, who sold his allegiance to his beau tiful American wife for the crown of West -phala, and the hand of the daughter of the King of Wurtemberg A valuable con- tribution is W. H. Phillipss ''The Divorce Question" and one calculated to draw atten- tion to the crying need of a uniform and national divorce law. A slightly metaphys- ical, but exceedingly readable essay upon Rights, is contributed by David A. Wasson. An anonymous author tells of ''Some Curios- ties in Astrological Reckoning" and the number is brought worthily to an end by a Celt's statement "Why Ireland has been Mis- governed" There is not a dull line in any one of the seven articles, and the number has never been exceeded in elements of popular interest A. s.
