The art of shorthand is, it appears,
to be superseded by one of the queerest
inventions on record. The revolution
is to be effected by means of machine
called '.glossograph,'"' consisting of
six levers, forming sort of cage, each
communicating with tracing pencil.
The use to be made of the "glosso-
graph is rather curious. While the
orator or lecturer is holding forth, the
reporter is to repeat the words of the
speaker with his tongue in the cage.
Thus the quickest conversation, some
London journals tell us, may be taken
down with ease. The ludicrous aspect
which this new invention assumes ne-
be an obstacle to its Adoption

storm at 4 O'Clock in the morning, and it in

positive waves, alternately neutralizing the
currents on the wires, or increasing their
intensity to such degree as to burn every
thing. The switchboard was set on fire a
dozen times during the forenoon, and half a
dozen keys of the instruments were melted

though the screw was turned up and the
point parted to the farthest limits. The du-
pick and quadruple wires were rendered
entirely useless, and at noon but a single
wire of the fifteen between that city and New
York was in operation, and it was frequently
interrupted.

A Brave Blacksmith.

A most heroic action, which, however, un
fortunately resulted in the death of the hero
occurred atffye o'clock Saturday afternoon.
A team of horses attached to George Coats
float be anne frightened at the corner of St Jo-
seph and Carondelet streets. Mady the re-
fractory animals dashed up Carondelet street.
dragging the heavy float, used to remove iron
safes, behind them. AT the corner of Calliope
street they wheeled and ran out to Dryades,
thence to Clio street, where the fatal accident
occurred. Two little boys were playing in the
street, so interested in their play that they did
not notice the team coming rapidly up the
street and were unaware of their danger. John
Metzler, blacksmith, residing at No. 284 Cali
ope street, saw the boys when the animals
were almost upon them. He sprang into the
street, seized one of the boys and threw him
out of harms way. The other boy. aged thir-
teen years. named Dan Downing, he next
seized. The horses were upon them, but the
heroic man thrust him out of the reach Of the
horses. while the wheels on the heavy vehicle
just grazed his side, only slightly injuring
him. Metzler, however, was struck on the
head by the pole of the wagon and fell the
wheels of the float passing over his stomach.
He was conveyed to his home, and yesterday
morning at eigat clock was admitted to the
Charity Hospital. He had received such Sc
we're internal injuries, however, that, despite
the skill of the physicians, he expired at
eleven o'clock.-N. O. Picdyune.
