Inventor of the Lightning-Rod.

One of our German contemporaries de
voted recently some space to the expert.
ments of one Procopius Diwisch. and de
tails number of interesting devices
produced by him. Among them the
lightning-rod occupies prominent pc.
sition. and Diwisch's biographer claims
for him the priority of invention in this
field, on the strength of the fact that he
erected such contrivance in his garden
in 1754. So far as dates are concerned
Diwisch can by no means be counted as
the original Jacob in the lightning-rod
business, as the thing had been done
some time before by several others, and
the idea of drawing sparks from the
clouds had been suggested by Franklin
in 1749. Indeed, records show that be.
fore Diwisch's date two houses in Phila-
delphia were struck by lightning during
a thunderstorm. and the one protected
by lightning-rods was not injured, while
the other was severely damaged. We
might enter more into the details of this
question, but priority claims on modern
inventions must now be handled so fire.

Religion and Grammar.

Ma. EDITOR; The proceedings of the
Mississippi Annual Conference of the
Nj. f. Church South, have been sent to
me by some unknown friend.
In the report on Education the follow,
ing passage occurs: "Another duty we
would enjoin upon our people, and that
is to patr0niZe our own schools. We
have never been able to reconcile loyal.
ty to our Church with the practice of
patroniz ng the institutions of other
churches, especially those where our
children are taught that ours is no true
church, that our ministers have no right
to dispense the Sacraments, that even
the rites of matrimony performed by
them does not constitute true marriage"
The report ends with two resolutions.
the first of which reads as follows:
That we most earnestly recommend to
our pastors and people, to patrouize our
own institutions, and by all means to dis.
courage the sending of our children to
Roman Catholic schools"
Now, Mr.. Editor, ask you the favor
of allowing ME to inform the readers of
your paper that: |. In no Catholic
school in Mississippi is the Catholic re-
ligion taught TO any non-Catholic pupil
without the consent of parents or guar.
dians. .. The Catholic Church has
never taught that even the rites of
matrimony, performed by them Meth.
odist ministers does not constitute true
marriage"

the resolution quoted above, lntrust the

Railroad Supervision.

EDITOR CLARION: have Just read in
your paper, and with much interest, too,
the u. S. Supreme Courts decision in
the Railroad Supervision case And as
this settles the fact, that the Commits
sioners have the undeniable right to
regulate the charges from one point to
another within the State, they should
no longer delay to perform the duty
assigned them. Their attention should
be called to those interior points
where no competition exists; for
there the people suffer most from
exhorbitant charges, and there the
remedy should be applied immediate
ly. | am friendly to railroads, and
believe they are blessings to any
country through which they run, when
properly managed and supervised; but
we all know from experience that
they are controlled by men of like pas
sioBs with all mankind, to whom if
granted unlimited power, will certainly
use it to the oppression OF the masses
The commissioners are gentlemen of
such known ability and high moral
character, that the people, on the one
hand, and railroads on the other, need
not fear but that their decisions will be
fair, and do equal justice TO both parties
alike. MONTGOMERY.

A Battle Between Elks.

Yesterday morning the big elk

cal garden, who has for several days
been paying marked attention to one Of
the lady elks, who answers 10 the name
of Nellie. discovered that he had rival
in the affections of the sOft-eyed doe in
the person of phoenix" who is nearly
as large as Charlie. and has wide
spreading antlers, whose points are
sharp as needles. When Charlie first
became aware of the state of affairs he
discovered Phoenix and Nellie flirting
in secluded corner of the pen. The
sight maddened him. and with hoarse
below of rage he rushed forward with
lowered head to exterminate his rival.
Phoenix must have been expecting some
thing Of the sort, for wheeling quick as
lightning he braced himself to receive
the onslaught of his foe Their heads
came together with a force that stunned
both, and the rattle of their horns at
tracted the attention of Keeper John
Ford, who was feeding the fallow deer.
He seized club and ran to separate
the combatants, who were now fighting
with tierceneSs that meant death for
the weaker.
The elks know Ford's voice and obey
him like children. When he reached
the fence inclosing their pen he shouted
TO Phoenix, and the latter was thrown
off his guard. When he threw up his
head and looked toward the keeper,
Charlie, whose eyes were bloodshot,
made sudden lunge, and catching
Phoenix on his antlers threw him against
the fence which divides their pen from
the Enclosure occupied by the two hump
backed camels with such force as TO
break off several stout palings. Then,
with cry of triumph, he retreaEd to
his stable. The keepers temporarily
separated the two Infatuated animals
and placed Phoenix in the camel pen.
He was still warlike, and several
times charged the bactrians Nellie.
who had witnessed the battle, received
the conqueror with cooling bleat of
pleasure, and sported by his side while
he walked proudly around the pen.
The battle created great excitement
among the animals. The lion and
tigers roared, the elephants trumpeted,
the eagles screamed, the wolves barked,
and the buffaloes beloved. Two big
buffalo bulls, Pete" and Samson
who had previously had several dis
putes as to the leadership of the herd,
paved the ground, and, after a few
preliminary bellows, lowered their heads
and rushed together with conclusion
that was heard all over the garden.
Keeper Ford succeeded in quietng them
before they could do each other further
damage, but he watched them warily
all day, and apprehends more trouble
until the disputed leadership is settled

Senator Beck on the Silver question, was

Mr. Blaine Is bi.metallist and will
take strong ground in favor of the con.

a private letter recently received in
Washington, Naturally enough much
curiosity was excited to know what, if
any, record Mr. Blaine had made on
this subject during his busy public
life. An investigation shows that ON
January -, 1878, when he was mem
Der of the Senate, he introduced sill
yer bill, the substance of which * as
follows:
BE it enacted, etc, That silver bullion

shall be- rcdc, med by the Secretary of the
Treasury on demand at the office Of the
Assistant Treasurer IN New York in coin
or stamped bars OF the bullion deposited

At that time there was printed an
informal interview with Mr. Blaine, in
which occ lrred the following para.
graph:
MIR, Blaine in conversation does not hest
tate TO express his opinion that the United
States cannot afford TO maintain a single
gold standard that this country is a large
producer OF silver and ought to utilize the
metal in its currency, and that to attempt
to get along with a gold standard will be
followed first 10y dangerous depression IN
values and next by still more dangerous
initiation OF values on account Of wild
rush Tor unlimited paper issues which
would certainly take place.
On the Sth of February, in the same
year, Mr., Blaine made an elaborate
speech in favor Of silver, in which he
advocated bimettalism aud the coinage
of silver dollar of 42j grains He
said at that time that Congress had no
more power to demonetize silver than it
had gold
lie said further that Congress had it in
its power to force Europe to remonetizc
silver Until Europe remouetizes sill.

should remonetize, he held that it could
not go above 400 grains in coinage silver
