Would Not Say .Dalnn. -

From the Boston Record.
There was established not very long ago in
Maine town a weekly newspaper which was in
tended by the proprietor, very pious man. to
grow up and wax rich on the basis OF publica-
tion and editing in the utmost fear OF the Lord
No advertisements of any plays, dances, lot
teries, patent bitters with alcohol in them i'm
proved corsets, or anything doubtful whatever
were to be admitted Nothing that was GRIM
lnal, irreverent, or even little bit frisky was
admitted to tue news columns. Above all the
word ''damn," which the proprietor found was
creeping into the press altogether too markedly
was never to be printed. Naturally the pro-
prietor couldn't see everything that went int
the paper, but the boys followed his orders
very strictly. One day be had occasion, in an
editorial which he himself wrote, to use u classi-
cal reference, which came out in the paper as
follows:
The President may, in fact, feel that the
sword OF D-ocles is now hanging over him."
This startled the proprietor a little, but he re-
fected that the boys had only followed his Or
ders, and that IL might break them all I'D to
nnd fault with them, and SO he said nothing
about il.
But few weeks afterward he felt that the
thing was really being carried too lar when the
text OF discourse which had been delivered
by the village pastor, and which he had ordered
published III his paper, was printed at the head

The Reproducing Mirror.

Paris Co rrespCndence of the New York Times
l was informed the other day by a men,
ber OF the Paris Academy of Sciences that
experiments which NJ. Pictet and Dr. Raoul
Duvernay have been making during the last
five years have at last been crowned with sue
cess, and that these two distinguished men OF
science are now able to construct mirrors in
which old impressions can at any time be repro
duced at will, and the mirrors be forced to
yield up the history OF all tnat has taken place
within room since one OF them has hung
there in such a position as to command a fair
view OF the apartment. The full secret of the
process through which these tell-tale con-
trivanceS are constructed has not fully been
made public, though IL is pretty generally
understood that the mirrors depend tor
their effect upon the peculiar action of light
upon Seleniunl, the metal by means of which
when fortified by aid of electricity it is now
possible to reproduce in light and shade at one
end OF a long wire, Il photograph exposed at the
other extremity. The latter cOnLrivance has
but now, as L recently read in La Nature it has
been brought SO near to the end desired that it
will come TO work satisfactorily and cheaply
when Il little more ingenuity shall have been
expended upon ii. Both in the recording mir
ror and the reproduction of the photograph the
results are due to the d dynamlcs OF that alI-per-
vadlng substance which is commonly, though
without any peculiar propriety, called the
.'luminiferOus ether or 'tether," as DE Volsoln
brochure, and indeed as it ought always TO be
named, since the word "ether'' is already APP
propriated by a acOmmonichemical,a and '';eLher
is nearly akin TO the Greek aither, by which was
meant a substance very much like what we
understand the iether to be.

Blounl the Coming Man.

Washington ID. ca Special 10 Aadnta capitol.
A well-pOsted politician remarked in
my hearing Yesterday that MIR. BlOunt,
the member from the Macon district
was the coming man in Georgia"
politically speaking, and that nothing
his opponents and enemies could do or
say would disable him or hinder his
course upward. His influence here is
potent" continued the speaker, land he
will succeed Senator Brown in the Senate
and inherit Mr.. Browns reputation as
the shrewdest political leader in
the State when the Senator has
been gathered among the silent ma
jOrity." | give the Capitol the benefit
OF this statement, as 1t comes from a
very respectable source, and as it may
prove prophetic. The kickers against MIR.
Blount, his plans and policies, had better
keep weather eve ahead. 1t is true that
as chairman Of one of the important COM
mittees in the House, that OF Post Offices
and Post Roads, Mr.. Blount, in addition
to the $4,000 patronage he has already OBJ
tanned from the House officials, will have
big swing on Mr.. Villas and will be able
literally to care for his friends and his
district. That the opportunity has pre-
sented itself by which he can gain add
tional strength cannot be gaiusayed.

Failure of a Match Company.

Gainesville Gao Cor. 4 u0ustG Chronicle.
The failure OF the Georgia Match Com
pany is the sensation Of the city. JOAN A g..
Smith has fled his bill 10 set aside the deed
of assignment to +. NJ. Johnson and pray
ed for the appointment Of a receiver.
Judge Estes, upon hearing the reading Of
the bill, appointed john A. Webb temper
airy receiver. The bill is to be heard on
its merits on Jan. %. Webb Is in charge
and work suspended.
The bill OF smith shows that he. DR.. j.
II. Bailey, G. w. Nanbleck, G. II. Lawshe
and i. f. Lawshe, were the directors Of
the company; that Nanbleck was presi-
dent, and that Vanbleck c. w. Lawshe
and Z. +. Lawshe, who are brothers-in-
law and father OF Vanbleck. made the
order for the assignment without consult
ing the other directors and without
their knowledge and consent.
In the assignment Mrs. NJ. B. Vanbleck,
mother Of G. F. Yanbleck, is made a pre-
ferred creditor to the amount OF So, 500,
which claim Smith insists is fraudulent
and void.
Other creditors will ask to he made par
ties and Join Smith in his bill, who is also
large creditor and stakeholder.
Tuesday Smith swore out warrants,
charging Van Bleck and c. W. Lawshe
with the enlightenment of the funds and
effects of the company, and they have
been arrested. Wednesday Judge Prison,
of the City Court, was engaged all day
hearing the evidence against Vanbleck,
who alone is on trial, as the defendants
severed and the probabilities are the mat
ter will last two or three days yet.
The array of circumstances thus far
brought out look damaging, but the de-
PENDANTS claim they can explain every
thing to the satisfaction of all concerned.
All parties stand hiffh here, and these
discoveries and charges have taken
the city by storm.
