A person was brought before the Police
Court at Syracuse the other day on a charge
of wearing male apparel while being fe-
male, of making love to the Syracuse bellies
on false pretences," and marrying a
woman, etc. There is no doubt of her fem
ininity, though her counterfeit of a man Is
said to have been perfect. She is English,
Is supposed to be about forty years OF age
went under the name of Alfred Clark, and
received remittance from England, part OF
which goes to the support of sister IN
Syracuse. Ia reply to the question. " Are
you male or female p she answered,
g Your officers can tell you" She refused
to give any more direct answer to the inquiry
in relation to her sex, and was committed
for further examination.


A few weeks since she assumed the garb
of man, and made the acquaintance OF
young lady named Miss Lewis. Alter
brief courtship they were married, and the
parties have since resided together as man
and wife, The marriage ceremony was per-
formed about three weeks since, and the
brides father thinking wrong about his new
son-in-law, obtained Il private interview and
informed her Of his suspicious, that she was
not what she pretended to be. AT first she
claimed that she was a man, but on closer
questioning, finally admitted that she was
female She has marked features, high
cheek bones, prominent nose, black hair,
worn long for a man, and curling at the end
and apparently brushed and oiled with care.
She wore glazed cap, blue coat, blue shirt,
dark vest, snuff colored pants, gaiter boots
and shawl over her shoulders speaks with
considerable confidence, but is not very com.
municative.


1t is understood that when this eccentric
woman first came to the house of the brides
father she was dressed in female apparel,
aud her clothing was changed to mans attire
with the knowledge of the family. The
probability is that the family supposed her
woman's dress was disguise, and that she
assuming the proper habiliments of her sex.
The -lady's father was averse to the match,
but the bride still clings to her woman hus.

EXPANDING THE LUNGs.-Get into the
purest air you can find, stand perfectly erect,
with the head and shoulders back, and then
fixing the lips as though you were going to
whistle, and draw the air through your
nostrils into the lungs. When the chest is
full raise the arms, keeping them extended,
with the palms of the hands down, as you
suck in the air, SO as to bring them over the
head just as the lungs are quite full. Then
drop the thumbs inward, and after gently
forcing the arms backward, reverse the pro
cess by which ycu draw you breath, till your
lungs are entirely empty. This process
should be repeated three or four times during
the day. 1t is impossible to describe to one
who has never tried it the glorious sense Of
vigor which follows the exercise. 1t is the
best expectorant in the world. We know a
gentleman the measure of whose chest has
been increased some three inches in many

In report addressed by NJ. Pouillet to
the French Minister Of War in the name of
commission appointed to examine the
best way ofsecuring powder magazines from
the effects of lightning, we find the follow
ing interesting remarks:


"When, during thunderstorm, cloud
charged with given kind of electricity
approaches the earth, the latter becomes at
that spot charged with the contrary kind of
electricity This, finding the foot of the
lightning conductor dipping in a subter-
ranean sheet of water, Immediately escapes
that way, being attracted by the contrary
fluid overhead; il accumulstes at the sum-
NIT or point of the conductor. II the latter
is gilt or made Of platinum, the fluid,

length The air becomes strongly electrified
thefby, and its particles are undoubtedly
conveyed by attraction to the cloud,
where they neutralize q part of the
mud lt contains. IL is this NATURALIZATION
which constitutes the protecting or preven-
tive action of the conductor. While the
egret is formed, the influx of electricity is
often so intense as TO melt the point, in
which case both the gold and platinum will
trickle down the copper or iron rod to
whichthev wereattached Though platinum
is the least fusible metal we know). In
this state, however, lightning conduttor is
by no means rendered unfit for service,
provided there be no solution of continuity
and provided, also, its lower extremity
communicates freely with the sheet of water.
A point, therefore, is not absolutely neces-
sary, and the commission propose that a
copper cylinder, two centimetres in diameter
by twenty five in length, be substituted
for it, as this cannot melt, owing to its
great conducting power. Lightning con.
ductors thus should never be placed on the
powder magazine, but outside the round
way there should be three, five metres in
height, fixed to supports fifteen metres high,
and connected together by metallic circuit
joining their lower extremities."

We regret to learn that the rust has

although the damage up to this time has

We take the following from the Browns
vile Ranchero of the goth:


The execution of the traitors, which /
had the satisfaction of directing, is good
food for digestion. 1t will satisfy the Eu-
ropeans, and the Yankees, too, that to trihe
with Mexicans is death by the law. Had
we complied with the request of the YAM
KEGS, to spare the flibUstero and his asso-
ciate traitors, it would have been taken for
cowardice, and the next thing would have
been a request to give up our lands, our
mines and our women. After this we
shall be allowed to worship our own God,
till our own soil, work our own mines, and
not have our women defled by Yankee
lbertines.


am now in favor of making clean work
of the detested "Gringos" This country
belongs to God and US and Just so long as
one foreigner remains on our soil, our lib
erty is in jeopardy. By every means in
our power we should make the country
Mexican and as all the property in the
hands Of foreigners were made by our mis-
fortunes, we should take il, now that we
have the power, and hunt them from the
country, My motto now is, death TO all
esiranger0s :


There is no danger of the Yankees in
terfering with us so long As the Southern
States (estddos del Sur are kept out of the
Union, besides the black men would side
with us and may at any time pronounce
against the whites. Before we get through
with the foreigners the Yankees will think
we are in earnest, and the time will come
when their notables will be begging for
their own heads, instead of begging for the
Austrians.


Incur struggles for liberty we have lost
nearly all. Our lands and our mines. and
our liberty, aud our women, and our
honors we still have, but the foreigners
have all the available wealth of the repub
lie; but they will see in less than three
years that Mexicans will have what they
want in Mexico. You will understand
from this my position and should by any
chance whatever become a candidate YOU
will understand my unalterable platform.

The following entitled The Social
Evil" is taken from the columns of the
New York Tribune, and is an indication
OF the growing tendency of the secular
press TO deal rightfuily with the great So

tains matter for grave reflection now when
men of standing in the religious world are
lending their aid TO establish license in
stead of prohibition:


.'Of all the miserieS now endured by
civilized men, those resulting from viola
tions OF the divine law of sexual purity
are probably most gigantic and appalling.

with determination.
