The iron tower which is to form the chief
attraction Of the Paris Exhibition Of 1880 is
already beginning to fll the Partisan mind
with apprehension, and savant explains the
curious phenomena which will be produced by
this immense mass Of iron rising to hight of
300 meters. He says that the enormous blocks
of iron running north and south will become
polarized, and that this polarization Will soon
invade the whole column. Then who knows
whether the four lifts with their continual
friction will not increase the magnetic inhu-
ence hundred fold2 In this case all articles
for mile round will be attracted to the tower,
and will adhere to it as a needle does to a mag
net. If the troops quartered in the Ecole Mill
taire, hard by. be called out TO drill, it will be
all in vain for the commanding officer to shout
I'm avantl" if they are paraded with the col
umn behind them; they will iTTesistibly be
drawn to the rear, with the exception of the
drummer, who does not carry a rifle. All the
houses in Paris will suffer from st. Vitus's
dance, and, gradually attracted towards the
Champ de Mars, viii finally find themselves
stuck to the tower. As for locomotives enter
ing Paris, it will be found impossible to stop
them at the various termini; they viii rush
through Paris and dash themselves TO pieces
against the center Of attraction. These and
other evils. we are told, viii follow the erection
of the great Eiffel tower.

MAJ-GEN. ]. S. ROBINSON.

One Of the SD Ohio Gives bis Opinion OF Him.
To THE EDrTOR: In the " Personal col
umn of THE TRIBUNE Of July 8, you speak of
Maj-Gen. James S. tnot h. Robinson, Of Ohio,
rs having been ren9lainated for Secretary of
State. This is little premature, as the State
convention does not meet until the 25th of
August at which time, however, his renomi-
nation will take place, followed by glorious
reelection in November. We indorse every
word THE NATIoNAL srRIBUNE speaks of him.
As gallant soldier he had no superior, as
commander who loved his men and who in
turn was loved by them be had few equals;
nor was he long in the service until his sol
dierly qualities became known by his superiors,
resulting in advancement until he reached very
nearly the top Of the ladder. His undaunted
courage in the hour Of danger and his pleasant
smiling countenance when bullets flew thick
and fast, was an inspiration to his men, and
where he led them they were sure 10 follow.
His imposing. towering form could always be
seen in the thickest ofthe fight, and like Henry

of Navarro, or Murat, one of Napoleon's mar
shals, he was one of the most conspicuous persons
on the battlefield, and this always exposed him
TO imminent danger. Thus on the bloody
field of Gettysburg he received three wounds,
either of which came within a hairs breadth of
costing him his life. In camp in biyouac, or
on the march, he was ever the same kind, con-
siderate and provident commander, ever i'm
pressed with the one idea, the comfort of his
men. If any good things were to be had the
SD Ohio of which he was, after the death OF
the lamented Col. James Cantwell, so long the
beloved chief, was always sure to have its
share The city Of Kenton, Hardin Co., o.,
furnished three commanders for the sd Ohio,
of which the city can boast with pride and
honor. James Cantwell, its first Colonel, killed
at Bull Run; James s. Robinson, who succeeded
him, and David Thompson, who succeeded Col.
Robinson upon his promotion. Noble trio

Nation will ever point to them as noble sons Of
our common country and gallant defenders of
her free institutions Gen. Robinson did not
alone show the qualities of good soldier; he
also showed great executive abilities and was
chosen Provost Marshal Of the Eleventh Corps,
conducting its affairs with such signal success
as TO make his name household word through
out the corps, and his headquarters the social
home of the leading officers Of the corps. This
position he held until again he took the field
at the head Of his regiment during the Chancel-
lorsville campaign, and from which time honors
thick and fast crowded upon him, not alone in
military but also in civil life having been chosen
Congressman from his district. Railroad Com
missioner under Gov. Foster, Chairman of the
State Republican Executive Committee, and
Secretary Of State, each, Of which positions he
filled with marked ability and success. No
encomiums Of ours could do justice TO the noble
man. May God spare his life that he may yet
long be useful to the State and Nation. In con-
