THE PHoToGRAPmC PRoCEss.--A
Cleveland dispatch to the New York
Tribune says that Edward w. Fell of that
city, after experimenting for two years,
asserts that he has succeeded in perfccting
an invention which takes absolutely rer-
mauent pictures upon any substance
whatever having smooth surface. This
is done Instantly by the action of electric.
lty upon Il sensitive coating, and at an
expense not exceeding one cent per picture.
A reporter, who called upon the inventor.
was shown some photographs on pieces of
wood, which were not only perfect in
ulline and finish, but possessed II peculiar
softness not obtainable by any other
process. The importance Of this discov
cry" said Mr.. Fell, land its varied uses
can hardly be estimated. 1t opens an
entirely new field in the art of photog
raphy and will work arevolution in various
branches of business into which it will
enter more or less. None of the present
processes are used; and it is not intended
to interfere with the portrait work of the
average photographer The engraver
upon wood, copper or shell need no longer
consume time and patience in obtaining II
defective counterpart of the object to be
engraved but instead can, at tri1ing
expense, obtain a beautiful photograph
directly upon which the engraving is TO
be made. In the photographers art it will
be Invaluable. Instead of the slow, labo
rous and defective process now employed
in transferring by hand, the article will
be photographed directly upon the stone
TO be engraved, and the result will be fine,
complete, finished class Of work heretofore
utterly unobtainable."

All the papers of this city express
unqualified gladness that General Gordon

will 90 to Khartoum with full power 10
make the best arrangements possible to
settle the affairs of the Soudan and the
Pail Mall Gazette says that henceforth
Great Britain has the full and undivided
responsibility of the Soudan. General
Gordon, in going to the Soudan as the
representative of the British government,
must entail as natural corollary the
assumption of a similar responsibility for
the affairs of Egypt proper.
1t is reported that negotiations have
been opened between Egypt and Abyssln-
ia The latter demand the cesson by
Egypt of the Bogos territory and the port
of Massowah, which adjoin the north.
eastern boundary of Abyssinia, under a
threat that the king OF Abyssnia will
declare war with Egypt if this demand is
refused. Egypt is willing TO cede the
territory of Bogos and the port of Zoulla,
which is south of Massowah, on condition
that Abyssinia shall operate against FL
Mahdi. This arrangement is relorted as
probable.

He says that the cutting off of the forest

CONGRESSMAN MAckEY's ROMANCE
There is quite romantic history connect
ed with the courtship and marriage to his
octoroon wife of Congressman Mackey of
South Carolina, who died in Washington
recently. Mrs. Mackey's father was a
white man of the celebrated Sumter
family of Sorh C,rolna,and her mother,
a uuadroon, was Cecilia Preston. Con-
gresham Mackey first met his future
wife, Mickey Sumpter, when she was a
girl of II years OF age and he Il man of
%. At that time she was child of great
beauty, but without any education. Mr..
Mackey fell in love with her at first sight
and determined to make her his wife. He
gained her mothers permission and sent
the girl To Oberlin college, in Ohio, to be
educated at his expense, that she might be
fitted to become his wife. She passed
nearly five years ut Oberlin, diligently
pursuing her studies and corresponding
with Mr.. Mackey, but never seeing him
until the day before she was to be gradua-
ted Her VACATIONS had always been spent
in Philadelphia with her uncle, William
Preston, with whom her mother and
Younger sister resided. In the spring of
1874, when she was TO be graduated, Mr..
Mackey came on from Charleston and
took Miss Sumter's mother on with him
to Ooerlin to witness the commencement
exercises and to bring Miss Mickey home.
When Mr.. Mackey met her there, after
tho five years separation, she had grown
if possible more beautiful than ever.
She was highly accomplished and received
her diploma with honors, after which Mr.
Mackey, the young lady and her mother
came to Philadelphia. That evening
Bishop Simpson was sent for and the
young couple were married. Mrs. Mack.

varying rate of assessment in the several
counties, some assessors rating property
at 80 per cent of its value, others less than
20 in different counties. The assessment
of personal property has now got down to
1915, 900 which is vastly below the
real amount, and the assessors recon,

should be taxed upon net or gross earnings
