HEROINE OF THE TELEGRAPH.
How a French Woman OUtwitted the

How a French Woman Outwitted the
UhIans In the War Of 1870.

cut the connections and carry off the an
paratus, or else employ ii to deceive the
enemy. They were OutWitted, however. on
one occasion, and by a woman Mile.
Juiiette DOdu, girl Of Is, was director of
the telegraph station at Pithiviers. where
she lived with her mother, when the Prus-
slams entered the town. They took possess
sion of the station, and. turning ont the
two women, cOniEed them 10 their dwelling
on a higher floor. 1t happened that the
wire from the Office in running to the poIe
on the roof passed by the door OF the girls
room, and she conceived the idea of tapping
the PTuSsian messages. She had cOntriyed
to keep a telegraph instrument and by
means Of derivation from the wire was
able to carry out her purpose. Important
kilograms Of the enemy were thus obtained
and secretly communicated to the sub-pre-
feet OF the town, who conveyed them across
the PTuSsian lines to the French commander
Mile. D0du and her mother were both ar
rested, and the proofs Of their guilt were
soon discovered. They were brought no
fore court martial and speedily con-
demned TO death, but the sentence had to
be confirmed by the commOnder of the
Corps dArmee. Prince Frederick Charles,
who, having spoken with Mile. Dodu on
several occasions, desired her to be pro-
duced. He inquired her motive in com
hitting SO grave a breach of what are
called the flaws of war" The girl replied,
''Je suls Franchise" q am a French wo.
MANI The Prince confirmed the sentence
but, happily, before it was executed the
news Of the armistce arrived and saved
her life. In 1873 this Geographic heroine
was in charge Of the Postofice at Mon
treuil, near Vlncennes, and on tie 18Th of
August she was decorated with the Legion
OF Honor by Marshal MacMahon, President
Of the republic.-C Chambers journal.

TORPEDO WARFARE.
A Deadly and Unseen Foe, Dangerous and De-
VaStdtiRg to the Cruisers.

The submarine torpedo may be called 'the
child Of the South" as it was first used by
the Confederates to protect their many har-
bors against the inroads of the Northern
war-ships during the Rebellion, and the
efficacy of this deadly and unseen missile
as destroyer was satisfactorily asceTtained
even with the crude implements then used.
Passing from stationary and spar tOrpedoes
the inventors turned their attention to the
auto mobile torpedo, and at least three
terrible weapons are in existence ready to
crush the heaviest and most formidable iron
vessel on the seas. They are the Sms-Edi-
son, the Howell and the Whitehead.

There Is Question as to Who First
Used the Weed.
To me it appears probable that even be-
fore the discovery of the fourth quarter Of
the globe a sort of tobacco was smoked in
Asia. This conjecture being mentioned to
the celebrated traveller, ". Pallas. he gave
the following answer: That Asia, and
especially in China, the use Of tobacco for
smoking is more ancient than the discovery
Of the New World, |. toe, scarcely entertain
a doubt. Among the Chinese and among
the Nongol tribes who had the most inter-
course with them, the custom Of smoking is
so general. so frequent and become so in
diSpensable a luxury; the tobacco purse
affixed TO their belt so necessary an
article of dress; the form Of the
pipes - from which the Dutch seem
to have taken the model of their
so original, and lastly, the preparation of
the yellow leaves, which are merely rubbed
TO pieces and then put into the pipe so
peculiar, that we cannot possibly derive
all this from America, by way of Europe,
especially as India, where the habit Of
smoking tobacco is not so general, inter
venes between Persia and China. May we
not expect 10 find traces of this custom in the
first account of the voyages of the Portu-
guese and Dutch TO China?" To inveSti-
gate this subject | have indeed the inelina-
ton, but at present. ut least not sufficient
leisure, and must, therefore, leave it TO
others. However, l can now adduce one
important confirmation of my conjecture
from "UllOa's Voyage to America" 1T is
not probable. says he. that tine Europeans
learned the use of tobacco from America;
for, as it is very ancient in the Eastern
countries, il is natural TO suppose that the
knowledge of it came to Europe from those
regions by means Of the intercourse carried
on with them bY the commercial states on
the Mediterranean Sea. Nowhere, not
even in those parts of America where the
tobacco plant grows wild, is the use Of it
