Electric Light Photographs.

According to this invention, IL is
stated, more speedy and accurate pro-
auctions of enlarged photographs,
whether in pigment or otherwise, can
be obtained by means of the improved
apparatus which is used with COM
pressed air and artificial light, and by
preparing more sensitive absorbents of
the image than hitherto used, The fol-
lowing is mainly the process: The cleo
trio or other light is placed in COM
partment by itself and through one or
more apertures the rays of light travel
and are projected into, and taken up
and condensed in, condensers, which
may be of solid glass, or made hollow
and filled with water. BY means of
pipes cold air is constantly passed over
and round in condensers for the pur-
pose of keeping them cool. AT u prop.
er distance from the condensers are
placed the pictures to be enlarged, and
at q greater distance, in the same lines,
lenses are placed parallel and concen-
trio with the condensers. The rays
thus pass through the picture, accord
ing to the several densities OF It's diiier
ent parts, and are then taken up by tho
lenses. so that an image of the picture
is projected at proper focus. Vign-
cites of any shade can be obtained by
intervening the light between the lens
es and sensitive surface, and causing II
to pass through oval or round openings.

THOSE THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS.

CAIRO, April 10th, 1881.
Editor Bulletin:
DEAR SlR-lt certainly is very sad and
disgraceful that two young men studying
for the ministry should be engaged in a
burglary; but let me say that the danger
of those young men getting into the min.
istry was not quite so great as might appear
to many on reading the story of their crime
in to'day's BULLETIN. Phillips academy,
though under the control Of congregation
aIists, is not properly speaking, a theo-
logical seminary, but school preparatory
to college. If, therefore, those young men
had escaped detection in this crime, they
would have spent four years in college and
three in theological seminary before be.
Ing admitted to the ministry. Let us sup.
pose they had gone to Williams or Am
herst college and then to Andover seminary
so as to enter the Congregational ministry.
The chances would have been ten to one
that during the seven years in those excel.
lent institutions, their true characters
|.would have been developed and discovered
This is one advantage OF SO long a training.
darcsay it sometimes happens that a man,
nearly as bad in his moral principles as
they proved, runs the long gauntlet and
comes before the world as a minister of the
gospel, and therefore the church and
school authorities can not be too
careful in their supervision Of young
men seeking the sacred office.
| have for some time held the opinion,
which may seem to some harsh, that when
man, either in his preparatory course or
in the ministry, he n shown to be guilty
of deliberate violation OF good morals he
should never be rein ,.ted unless 1t be after
he has re-established his character and
shown the truth Of his pcnitence by many
years of exemplary conduct in some other
walk of lite. Yours,
BENZ. Y. GEORGE.

The Circus.

Othere's many jolly thing
That blossoms with the Spring,
For then II is that Nature her miracles doth
work us;
But Of all the things that sprout,
The best beyond doubt,
IS the canvas-tcntcd, sawdust-sccnted, always
jolly circus!
With thrill of glad surprise
The youngStcr stands and eyes
Each gorgeous-colorcd poster that dccoratcs the
fences,
And which, in glowing terms,
His own belief confirms
That the coming show, to all who go, will daz-
gle quite their senses.
And when the day arrives,
And the gildcd chariot drives
Resplendent through the town with music play.

Pray, where's the hoy who'd not
Give all the wealth he's got,
To be the clown who wins rcnown by funny
speeches saying?
And once within the tent,
Though it takes his every cent
Your ten-year-old is happier than any monarch
ruling;
While he laughs with kcenest zest,
And declares each act the best
From the entree gay with rich array to final
trck-mules fooling.
The intrepid bareback rider,
With the girl whose skirts don't hide
her,
The leapers and the tumblers, and the horse to
music prancing,
And the brothers who with ease
Mount the treaCherOus trapcze,
And the nimbe-footed gent who keeps the bar
rel dancing;
The nerves that never faltcr,
The double sommersaulter
Who clears stud of horses with safety and
precision
All these their glory fling
Around the sawdust ring,
And so enamOr by their glamour every boy
ish vision.
To you and me, perhaps
(Old, gray, aud wrnkled chaps
This glamour with some other things, has long
ago departed
But your trustful ten-ycar-od
Find all the glitter gold
And 80 did you before you grew too wise to be
hght-hearted.
So the praises still | sing
OF the jolly sawdust ring,
Which comes to us when Nature her miracles
doth work us;
For the happiest of things
Which the gentle Springtme brings
Is the canvas-tented, sawdust-scented, much.

BABY SUSIE.

ON THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF HER BIRTH.
DAY.
Dear baby heart, that gainst my own hast lain
Just one short year,
AZ tiny birding in its sheltered nest
Without one fear
Dear little head, with Maynard clustering rings
or gold brown hair,
Each shining curl a witching thing
OF beauty rare
Sweet eyes; that glisten with tender light
Ofheayens own blue,
Sweet baby lips, between whose coral rift
Seed pearls CLEAN through
Dear title hand, feel thy loving touch
Upon my face,
Each dainty rose tipped finger
Full Of grace.
Dear little feet; each with it, tiny crest
OF fine small toes,
That pink as the lining of a rich sea shell
Lies in two rows
An, me; that even these small fair feet
Should 90 astray,
VI pS al 'oIh W DIeeulng ny lne tnOrns
That lines LIES way
All, me; that ere these tender violet eyes
Grow cold and stern,
This baby hand SO innocent and soft
To evil tu!n.
That ere this lily heart upon my breast
Should faint or grieve,
Or that uDOn its snow white Duritv
As stain may cleave.
Oh, winsome elf within thy little form see
Scuptured by God,
strange mysterious soul germ lies, like seed
Beneath the sod.
Nurtured, expanded by grand true life
This seed shall rise,
To glorious, endless immortality
Beyond the skies.
Heaven help thee child to climb LIES rugged ay
With God thy shield,
Strong foes without and stronger foes within
Shall surely yield.
Come leave thy jolly rest in my arms again
My bird, my dover.
While down on gold brown hair and rich red lips
Warm kisses shower.

HARKISS0S.

Fairest face beneath the skies,
On the bright spring waters trembling
Carmine lips and speaking eyes
The god OF love resembling
Fairest face beneath the skies
Where the sleeping waters gllsten,
Carmine lips and speaking eyes
To their silent image listen.
Oh, thy lips were made to kiss-
But they'll lose their ruby glory,
Waiting for reflected bliss
To repeat thy living story.
Loving one above the water,
Thou wilt spill thyschallced wine
For the face upon the water
That hath but reelected thine.

long-winded article to newspaper.
The newspaper hates to publish it, and
its readers won't read it. Be "short

your writings read. The matter of a
newspaper letter must be of cxtraordi-
nary Interest to Justify the occupancy
of column; of great interest to Justify
half a column; and not one in hun
dred that occupies over quarter of u
column will be read by one in five hum

D0NG0LA LETTER.

DoNGOLA, His, April 10Th, 1881.
Next Sunday, according to the weather
wise, ends the cold weather, as it is argued
by them that we never have warm weather
till after Easter. Won't we be glad to
meet again with warm spring weather.
Perhaps, that will make amends for the
destruction of our choice radish plants,
destroyed by the hard freeze we have had
since April began. Do hope that MIS-. d.
Greene has had good luck in the gardening
line, and that she has found at Pro-
toplasm and a fifteen year.old boy has
been evolved and may he be successful
in Kidding hcrgarden Of all noXious plants.
The Dongola municipal election is now
numbered with past things, the smoke of
the battle cleared, and we are happy to
report no lives lost. The old board to
man are our trustees again, the new aspi'
rants all being lett far behind. The "no
lhluOl llSSusV party NSlS bh'iy lplt' bNiiS
beaten two to one, 1t is often the case that
a good cause--in the main--is lost 10y be-
ing supported and engineered by party,
whose standing in society is not enved by
the honest and honorable. That the trade
in intoxicants is to large extent harras
sing to good morals, no sensible person can
deny; but at the same time if those who
are licensed to sell will do their duty, and
not transgreSS the law we fail to see any
thing very hidcous in the traffic. When,
however, every advantage is taken of the
law that can be taken, we are convinced
that license to sell should at once be
revoked and he who attempts to take out
license, whose character as whisky dealer
is bad, should be given wide berth.
Prospects for fruit and good crop Of
wheat are very llattcrng in Union county.
