Kew York's Death Machines.

The eleetrieal apparatus for the ex- ccution ef The death sentence upon persons convicted of murder in New York State, has been bought, and will be erected in each of the three State prIsons-Auburn, Clinton and Sing Sing--in few days. Gen. Austin Lathrop, Superintendent of. State Prisons, closed the trade with Harold P. Brown, the electrlclan, of New York at Albany last week. The cost will be about s8,600, $2,000 less than the State appropriated. Mr. Brown sold to the State three Westinghouse dynamos. These produce what is known as the alternating current, in contradistinctlon to the ''centinous" and ''pulsating" currents. They are dvnamos which were made for electric lighting, and have each a pressure of 1000 "velts." It has been demon strated that the alternating current will kill at 145 vslts. In addition to a Westinghouse dynamo, each prison will require an ''exclter, to be used as an auxiliary to the dynamo; a strong oaken char, in which the con vict IS to sit and be killed, an electrical cap and electrical shoes. The cleo trlcal cap is made of metal, covered with sponge, which Is saturated with salt water before being put Oh the convict's head. When it is on 1t is called an "electrede," and the other ''electrode' to be put on the convIet's feet is a heavy pair of tightly laced shoas with sponge inside. A wire under the oaken chair is connected with bis shoes and cap, the Warden of the prison closes the ''circuit" fer if teen seconds, and all is over with the convict.

Dr. Pinel, of Paris, has succeeded in hypnotizing several subjects by means of the photograph. All the com mands given through this channel were as readily obeyed as those ut tered directly, and suggestions of every possible sort were as effectually communicated through the medium of the machine as if made viva voce, The conclusion deduced by Dr. Plnel is that the theery of magnetic cur rent passing from the operator to the subject is entirely baseless, and that the real cause of the phenomena of hypnotisnl is nervous derangement on the part of those subject to them.-- Electrical World

KNEW GEN. WAsHINGToN.-There is but
one person living in Fairfax county who
knew and remembers Gen. Washington.
Mrs. Sarah M. Sewsll is the person referred
to. Her father, Capt. John West, was at
tached to Washington's staff during the rev.
olution, and enjoyed his friendship. As they
lived only ten or twelve miles apart, the
General would frequently drive to Captain
Vests on Saturdays, spend the might and
take the Captain and his little daughter to
church in his carriage on Sunday. Mrs.
sewall was born in 1892. and is now 81 years
old. Her mental faculties are unimpaired,
and she is still able to sew and read, and
walks without assistance other than cane.
She has lived all ber life within half mile
of her birthplace. She loves to talk OF
Washington. he used to take her on his
knee aud tell her atories of the war. She
describes his appearance and manner with
great minuteness.

UNCLE SANS PROFIT FROM NICKELs.-
"The bright sivery looking nickels that
pay for ride on the street cars are source
of great profit to the government as they
cost but three. .fourths of a cent apiece" said
a mint employee yesterday. "They are now
purchased under contract. We used to
make the blanks ourselves and stamp them
afterwards at the mint, but oflate years we
have been purchasing the blanks and hav-
ing them stamped at the mint. They are
bought by the pound, as are also the pen.
MES I think they cost about q quarter OF
cent, or perhaps third of cent each"
"How many of these pennies and nickles
are issued in a year? ?"
NEARLY million dollars worth not quite
that, but In round numbers say 81 1000,0 900
worth. The total amount of 5 cent pieces
issued in year usually reaches about $780,.
600, and of pennies nearly S400, 900. Besides
that there are few cent nickel pieces,
but only few. Last year the number was
extremely small. There ia little demand
for them, and the department is discour-
aging the use of them as much as possible" !"
"On this 81, 100000 worth of minor coins
issued, then, there must be profit of CON.
sIderably over s5OO,OOO?"
"Yes, considerably more than that

AS hsO6SA <As = yOA - hOk
General Z. r. Hemphill, editor of The
Abbevilla Medium, in ali ,di.o;iel ,:ives an
account OF tho naruer ia witch G.trrl
Roger A. Pryor, who il DOW predicting the
republicanism OF the Southern Stntes. hap
pened to relipquish his southern citizenship.
A short time before the fall of Petersburg
he came to the picket line of McGowan's g
brigade and crossed over, pretensively to
get news about the Yankees. He waved a
newspaper at the Yankee officer. They
met between the lines, ,and conversed for some
time Pryor locked arms with him and
walked into the lines of the enemy. He
turned his back on old Virginia, his own
State, and everything southern. He left
his people in the darkest hour in the face of
the enemy, who had their cannon trained
on the city where he had left his wife. The
editor of the Medium wrote Gen. Lee the full
particulars Of his desertion, es it was mar
rated by Lieutenant Reeder of Orr's Rifles,
who was in command of the part of the
picket line where the desertion took place.
In reply to this General Pryor sends n
letter to the Charleston World, in which he
says:
'The story is cruel and strocious calum-
ny. The custom OF exchanging tobacco for
Northern newspapers was common on the
ontposts Of the two armies. Burnside's
corps having disappeared from our front, it
was important TO ascertain whittier it had
gone, and to get the information l under

usual way. WAS invited by signal from

and, suspecting no bad faith, I advanced to

my right arm, and my pistol being buttoned
under my overcoat, I was incapable of re-
aisting against the powerful man who
grippeii me with one hand while he held a
pistol in lbe other Escspe was simply i'm

tnined there prisoner for months in close

prisoners prevented my entering again into

fcderate army, from Lee down, maintained
after the close of the war relations Of un.
