Electrical Methods Of search
for Balls ian the Body.

Professor Bell lately brought
before the Paris Academy the modi-
fcationof Hughes'sinduction balance,
with which he proposes to find The
position of n projectile in the body,
and which consists essentially of two
fiat coils superposed, so that. the edge
OF one is over the axis of the other,
one coil receiving d vibratory cur
rent. while telephone is in the circuit
of the other. The coils, mounted in q
wooden case, are moved over the
BODY, and from the nature OF the
sounds heard when the ball is APP
proachedthe positions of the latter Il
beinferred. ACUTE different electrical
method, has h0weyer, also been devised
by Professor Bell, suggestedapparent-
ly by NJ. Trouy6's ingenious electric
sounds or probes, in which two con
duct0rs are used, and the hall completes
the circuit. Professor Bell inserts "a
fine needlcin thcsuspected region. 1t
is connected by a wire with Ia OF the
binding screws OF a telephone, which
The surgeon holds to his ear; the
other Iiading screw being connected
with a metallic mass applied to the
skin. When the needle point touches
the ball, an electric couple is formed
and the current generates n sound
in he telephone. The surgeon may
then use his knife with confidence,
guided by the needle. He may make
several insertions Of the needle, if
necessary, without danger, aud any
pam may be obylated by etherization.
This simple method (Which should
prove useful on the field of battle)
was tried with success with a
lead bail introduced into a piece Of
beef. Contact Of the needle with
bone had no effect, but a very dis
tinct sound was heard each time the
ball was reached. A modification
consists in inserting a vibrator IN the
circuit this gives musical note IN
the telephone at each contact Of ball
and needle. Again, if the circuit IN
clude a battery, the telephone sounds
may be heard by several persons ut
once. A sound is heard, in this case,
whenever the needle enters the skin ;
but, on reaching the ball, it is much
intensified owing to lessened resis-
lance. A gaIvamometer may be used
in place of the telepnOne.-Times

led the Prussian people by his per-
SOnal force of character to the brink
of war. He plunged it almost des-
pairing into the vortex. From civil
s rite he plucked in defiance OF them
selves the exact elements to cement
into a firm basis of Germ an nation
atty. Again, he drew the common
cling nation, r%esolute not to draw
back, but not resoIute to make the
leap, into the midst of a more terrific
and deadly conflict. Thence he
emerged with it and with German
unity in his grasp. He moulded the
weapon which achieved the results in
the face of protests from the people
which was to profit by it. The error
he commits now is in supposing hat
the nation he has taught its powers is
never to be permitted to use them for
itself, lie would keep it in perpe-
tual apprenticeship on the ground
that he formed the premium. Ger
many, as its Chancellor asserts,
has not yet established fully its uni
ty. 1t cannot dispense with his
guidance in fulfilling the enterprise.
1t W., uld not if it could. He is unfit
to his c0untrymen in his low estimate
of lheir gratitude. lie is not alto
gether generous in his reputation of
any share of theirs in the work of
their own redemption. People are
not emancipated simply by armies or
by statesmen, The German people
is entitled to participate in the honour
Ofits restoration to national life, as it
VOID have had to pay the full
be lily Of failure. 1t has paid, and
rs Still paying, the heavy price of
success. Prince Bismarck dilated
bitterly last Monday on the hazards
he incurrei by conducting his country
to two mortal combaIs. An imagin-
alton like his must be BILE to pic
ture as wildly what would have been
the doom of the nation he led had
defeat been the result and not a
triumph. Nothing could well be
more characteristic Of the personal
passion he deliberately imports into
his controversies with the national re-
pre- antatiyes than his theory that a
victorious Austria or France woald
have been content with even a Bis
MARI, for scaprg"at, unless it be
his r~esseE.me,.t o. t. Inn. 81
Of a people he has formed into a
nation to be consulted on its national
development.

formal Indictment of the German
people for struggling 10 binder Prince
Bismarck's deliverance of it from
discard and humiliation. He had
one c~oadjutor in his heavy task it
was his master and sovereign. He
had T. instrument; it was the army.
For himself, he had served Germany
that is to say, as he explained on
Tuesday, not a Pinch-boot Parlia-
ment, but its sovereign, in spite Of
Germans. Had Marshal Won MoItke's
combination failed, on Prince Bis
marck's head would have fallen the
r%etribution. In disaster he would
have been as patriotic as public OPT
Mon acclaimed him after K0niggralz
and Sedan, yet nobody would have
believed III his merits. His moral
from the past is short and practical
for the future: he had proved him
self wiser than Parliament and poll
ticians before they had better take
it for granted he will be proved wiser
than a hostile majority in Parliament
and among politicians again. 10 ii
considerable extent he is aware that
the German nation recognizes its
debt to him and his ability even now,
in the evening Of his "weak and wan
ing powers" to add to the debt. Ger
manystill as of old, he understands, CON
fdes to him with undOubtin0 conf
dence the control Of it's foreign policy.
The trust is almost an a~ggravation Of
the many offences of the German
pubic, and Its incompetent mimics
of English party gov rnment against
its benefactor. ProjectShave a%ctually
been devised Of a system of response
bic Ministers, Parliamentary nomi-
nees, by the side of the irresponsible
Chancellor, in the charitable desire
9 to relieve him from the burden of do
nestle administration. Instead of an
Improvement, fhe change, he believes,
would be the grayest Of all impedi-
:ments to real administrative perfec-
9 tions He has already given his rea-
Sons why statesmen the creatures OF
a shifting Parliament, and bound too
account to it, could not initiate a
sound policy. A sound policy must,
~.m, be naturally in its
commencement antagonistic to pub
lie opinion. But a worse defect in
the change would be that these Par
%liamentary officials might assume to
themselves to direct the domestic po-
Icy put under their ostensible charge.
They might have their views on po-
litical economy and on the remedies
for Socialism. The whole of that
spacious province Of affairs the Prince
finds himself more especially quail
fed to deal with. Now that Europe
is at peace and Germany is freed
from the dangers of mighty and men
acing coalitions, he has precisely the
leisure which was the only gift he
ever needed to consolidate German
finances and to domesticate outIawed
industry. Clerkly heads of depart
ments who will moi morbidIy mind
berg disavowed upon occasion, and
a Legislature to register DEGREES, are
all he asks Of his countrymen that he
may consolidate and complete the
empire for them.

The jury in the Maysville election

discharged without agreeing to verdict.
1t was packed jury, blu. even they
could not agree 10 a verdict of guilty on
such evidence. Judge Bond announced
that the case wonld be tried over at this
term Of the Court, and as they cannot
pack another jury these managers will
PROBABLY DO acquitted.
Five witnesses testified positively that
cisiEen of Barnwell county, named
Joseph Bates, voted three times at tho
last election, at three different boxes
nine miles apart, and fifteen witnesses
swo:e that Mr.. Bates was manager of
election at different precinct, and was
present there ali day. Judge Bond aug-
gested that the case be given to the jury
without argument aud withe.. instruc-
tion from the Court, and verdict OF not
guilty was rendered. Was this sugges-
tion of bis honor intended as hint TO
the negroes on the jury that il would not

Senator Butler end the Vice President.

Washington correspondence of the
baltimore Sun:
President Pro. Tenn. Davis, Of the
Senate, had this afternoon his third
breakdown since he became a member
of that body. The trouble with the
Illinois Senator is that he forgeis an or
dinary chair cannot sustain the four
hundred pound mass of flesh which be.
long to him. He ought to follow the ex-
ample of the late Senator Dixon II.
Lewis, and only use chairs specially con.
strucled to stand the strain. Judge
Davis, who had put another Senator in
the big, strongly -braced chair which he
occupies as presiding officer of the Sen.
ate, had been strolling around the cham
Der TO stretch his legs, and passing by
the chair which belongs to Senator
Brown, of Georgia, and is abuudantly
able to hold his weight of one hundred
and twenty-five pounds, he took a notion
to rest himself. He sank into the chair,
and the chair sank to the fooi in broken
pieces, which were strewed all over the
Judge as he lay sprawling. AS he
scrambled 10 his feet with a sense Of in.
.iured dignity fresh upon him he saw that
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, who
occupied the next scat, was smiling
broadly, and his ear caught the whisper
of some one on the othor side styling
him the "Jumbo" of the Senate. He
was SO indignant that ne stalked around
the Senate chamber several times, and
then, becoming little more composed,
he selected another chair after a critical
insrs elton and deposited himself in it.
Sent or Butler went over to him for
ir'lhfying purposes, but th. Judge
wavsd him of and declined t. listen 10
him. On tho last occasion that he burs-
ted through chair Mr.. Conkling, who
was then in the Senate, chnckled audibly,
and he would not take any notice of him
for n week after.
