A Ohtea?-correspondent says he eaw a lady tiio other Hay. w ho waaon " a visit to that city, wlm lor nW.e years -l was nominally the wife of a PhilailelEhia hauler, while t the fame time chad a wife and family in another part of the city. She supposed .slia was regularly marr ed to him all the time until the denoiment He had partlcnfarly requested her pot to visit Lis office, making son e plausible ftf--r .ease, and for two n?ght$ In. the week " ' would absent himse.f on the plea that business called him from t6wn.a , The way the- thing-came to SLdenonmrnf was this: A sister visited .her. One 'morninjr she stood upon the piazza and as her supposed bro'her-in-lawt f , passed Out, and when Opposite the adjoining house, a servant jrrl. pweeping the front Mtrp says: . Good morni; r ing, Mr. G He barely took notice and passed na. s The womanly curiosity of the sister was aroused. ' .and she said to the girl: "Why, . that is not Mr. G- ." . ,The g'rl re- '' ' plied that she guessed she knew, as she bad lired in his familyor fivo rears. This but added fuel to the flame of curiosity, aud the result was that she ascertained that her brother-in-law bad aw fo aid two children residing in an elegant home about five miles away. ' She informed her sister of her discovery, and, under pretext of sell- . : ing aome jewelry, she ; called upon the wife number one. The fifst thing that she saw on entering fhe parlor . waa a full-lensth portrait of hef Supoosed husband. Thus the trurh of

what her sister had told per being confirmed, she went home, and there was a scone when the husband of two wives returned at evening. . peparation followed.-'-He entreated hef to

V ?rt .' ' - ' . " ' The Creditor Htratpjcsnh.a Jr- Pour credftors 'started lrini Unston in the same train of ear's,' to the purpose of attaching the property oT' ti certain -debtor in ' F-irmingbtn, in the Stato, of Maine. He, owetl leach one -tT!i. separately, and they each one were ' suspicious of the other, "hut dared not )! say a word about if. So thf-y rode, acquaintances, all talking upon every-' thing except? that which .they,., had most at heart. When they arrived at ', the depot at Farmington, . which was X- three miles from where the debtor , did business, they found nothing to . - "put 'em over the road "but a sol tarycab, toward which they all ruh- ' d. Three got in and refused admittance to the fourth, and the cab start

ed. The fourth ran after, and got up'j outside with the driver, tie: asked the driver if ' he wanted to. sell his horse. He replied that he did not want to that he was, not !

,r -. worth more than htteen dollars, but v " he would not sell him for that. He aske I him if he would take one hdndred dollars for him. " Yes." said he. The fourth man quickly p tid over the money, took the reinsand backed the cab up to a batik, slipped it from the harness, and tipped it up so that the door could not lie opened, and jumped upon the horse's : back mt ; rode off , lit-kety-nwitch, white the insiders were looking out of the windows, feeiiug . ' like singed cats. . He rode to alawyer's and got a writ ma Jo 'and served, and his riebt secure, an I got h-tck to the ho'el just as the insiHprs V came up puffing an I blowing. Tha cabman soon bought back his hor.-e for fifty' dollar., The "sold" men offered to pay that' sura if tl e fortunate Jooei who found propery suffi jietit to p iy hia own debt, would uut tell of it in Boston. " - ' ! r , liquefaction of Carbonic Acid Gas. In answer to the inquiry of a subscriber, we give the loilowing int'ocnation on the subject f liquefcation fcarbonic acid gas. 'When carbonic acid gas is compressed at the temperaj ture of the freezing point; of water, ' with the power of 40 atmospheres 4 .. that is, 000 pounds to the sq i are inch ' it liquefies, 500 pints' being compressed to the volume of a single pint;

consequently, the space allowed for the liquefied gas must be only ono 500th part of the volume of the gas developed, and it takes exceedingly strong vessels to hold it, as its presssure at our summer temperature is double that amount, namely, 1,200 pounds for the square inch at 90 Fah., a tension far exceedin? the resistance of our strongest high-pres-suri steam boilers. The apparatus commonly used for the liquefaction of carbonic acid, consists of two very strong close I retorts, made of heavy copper, lined inside with lead, and outside strengthened with iron; one retort serves to receive the charge of bicarbonate f soda and sulphuric acid, the other to receive the developing gas, by means of stopcocks and connecting tube: this retort being p aced in ice, condenses the Jas to its liquid state. It is a very angerous experiment when not made with a perfect appiratus. Hervey, in ' Paris, was killed by the explosion of a very strong iron retort, of which the ides were more than an inch in thicki ness; it burst like a bomb-hell, by the pressure of the too rapidly deveb pi.ig gas. The enormous rate of condensation will not cause surDrise.. when ; we

consider t lat the cojdensation of steam uto water is, more than three times as mat; namely, to oue l,7U0th part of its volume. F V Thelqiificd carbonic ac"d gas is lighter than water, on which it floats, and which it fre-aes at once, when brought into contact wi h it; it shows ia the exalted degree the cooling

p.opi-nied oi ait very volattje liquids, asa.cuhol. ether, trasolin, etc.- When

drawn lroin the retort by means of a stop' '-cockthe carbonic acid partially retakes its gaseous state, but in this change it robs so much heat from the remaining liquid, that its temperature ds:jmis' 8(.low,"i thatits ; further evaporation is "most powerfully check: ed. and the result is the solidification or freezing of about one-quarter of th- gas escap ng. 1 hi uowj-hke Bubstanne will 'retail a temperature of about, 100 degrees below zero, ifah.. and wU.en it, is dissolved iu .ethecaud thus,' forced tt tlt; the' tem perature will go lower still (to 140 degrees) for the'fatne reason that the temperature of common ice and . snow is lowered (to 0 degrees) by forcing it to -melt by the addition of Salt. This mixture ot solidified carbonio acid and, ether will produce the same sensation i to the skin as a red hot iron; it coagulates and hardens the blood instantly by the intense cold, producing, a? blister and intense iufi&wtit'wn.iicientific America n .'

The grass witheretb, and the flower thereof faHeth away; but the Word of the Lord endureth forever." . English Railroads. Mr. Beach, the editor of the New York Sn, is now ; traveling, in England. Of the railroads there he savs: , .1 confess my Yankee pride gives way in the comparison. We are standing still in comparison. We have stood Mill coniparatrve'y these twenty years in railroad affairs and hence j'rom being first. wcare now in the second -rank. - The'Eoglishman sticks to his compartment cars, but addV to the 'number of compartments in each cart until on the newest roads the length of car fuily equals the American. .;Then his system of rigid attachment of cars pioduee3 a steadiness Of motion (in':ch to be preferred over our jerking ralt!e-tr p., But perhaps the most striking chanze is in the mode of taking water. " AVhat think you of running a train of .a dozen cars two hundred miles -r more, in five hours, and without a stop of any kind? The thing. is done here. . A sufficiency of coal for. fuel is easily provided, of course, and only necessitating the carriage of a few pounds extra weight. The wa'er is taken up at once in some twenty miles, without the slightest delay, by a simple contrivance, cute enough to have origin ated in a Yankee's brain, if it did not. Aa trough, half a mile long, one foot wide and four inches deep, made of cast iron, is p'aced between the rails and filled with water. As the train passes oyer this trough, one end of a pipe reaching forward from the tendei. is lowered into the water. The motion of the train forces the water up the pipe into the tender, and the th.ng is done. My description mty not convey the idea to a nonmechanical mind, but those who have bailed out leaky boats with a scoop as often as you have done, will understand this method ot scooping water for. the locomotive. With us, the same plan would answer for taking up small anthracite coal as water, I do not doubt, so that we might run trains across the continent without a stop, if that were desirable. COAL.
