This ingenious machine, which has excited gnat attention at liremcti, was made hy an Kngllsh linn. At a late meeting of the Iondon I'oyal Society Prof. Tyndall exhibited his fireman's r pir:tor. which Is attached to a mak and consists of an iron cylinder packed w ith cotton, wool, glycerine and charcoal. The wearer is cnahlnl to remain in an atmosphere of smoke, which he i-ould not otherwise hrcathe. for a quarter to a halt an hour.

A little child, four years of age, wandered into a wheat field m ar Clyde, III., and went to sleep w ith lioth arms cro-'-iij over its eyes to shield them from the sun.

At Leavenworth. Kan-a-, a few days ago, as Mrs. Crew, accompanied by an inlaid child and a nurse, was out w alking, an iniuriatetl Texas cow plunged madly down the street, knocking -Mrs. Crew dow n and tearing her clothes into shreds. The lady w as terribly bruised by the beast, but it was thought not dangerously. At North Vernon, Ind., the other day, Mr. May amlStcphcn llutlcr were killed by an explosion of gunowdcr in a well they were digging. The powder had lecn placed in the well and tired by a slow inafch. hut as it did nt explode alter waiting some time, they both de-i-cnded into the well, and had just readied the bottom when it exploded, killing IhhIi instantly.

Kngland tolerates no half-way measure in avenging a gratuitous insult to her flag. The sentence of tin Guatemala official, (ionzales, to five years' imprisonment for inflicting public chastisement on the Ilritish Consul Magee, is a standing

A correspondent of the Woiisocket (11. 1.) I'atrit.t writes Irom a Swiss town: "1 was much amused on looking over the visitors' IxKik at the inn to lind that under tlie heading 'Occupation, two Ocriiian irirls had written 'Looking for a husband and a stanza of oetry, the tlrilt of w hich corresponded w ith the cry which the ancient American Miss Peck tells about in one of her stvries 'How long, oh Lord ! how long?' " On the morning of July 2 a family nutting of the l.othchild took place in Vienna, the three sons ami three (laugh ters of the late Karon Aiisclm being present. Karon Kothschild lelt a written wish to Ihj buried according to Jewish rite, without anv pomp, bv the side of his de ceased parents, in the family vault at rranklort. Accordingly, on .luly gy, the corpe was transorted from Aoebuing to the v estern Kail way. heputations from most of the charitable institutions in Vi enna took part in the procession. Karon rerdinand Kothsctuld, tnnn London, said the customary prayer at the death-lied of his lather, the corpse, according to Jew ish rite, Is-ing taken from the lx-d and j'laeeil on the ground. The will is not to fe ocucd till after the funeral at Frankfort. The sensation of the season is an American heiress, whose fortune is rctxirtcl at various amounts, varying from $7.1,IXX) to jfJUtUMX) a J car. She is a young la dy, who, though arriving here late, and not having liccn presented, has N-cn invit4tl to the court festivities, ami is attracting a great deal of notice. KveryNsly is talk ing ol her. Is she as wealthy as jm'oji'c say ? What is the real amount ol her tortune r Has she any brothers and sister ? She is Immensely sought after, and the Names of three gentlemen are current In society, to each of whom she is rciorted to lie atllanccd. One of these, the Hon.

Hi Negro In the South. I from the 1OiiuvillH Courirr-.lournat ) The third-term suggestion exercises a peculiarly soo.hing inlluenee uimui the Washington Jiejmhliean. When moved by it, the President's organ becomes significantly childlike and bland; it mode. -atcs its tone ; it chlrns like any nightingale, llcterring to the inattrr-of tact observations which have apicarcd from time to time in these columns, and which the professional deai 1-levclers and the driveling red-tapists liave dismissis! as mere sensational nonsense, that valorous teacher of the true faith says : The ohjf'tion to Huh pUtlorm ol the f'ourirrJournal that in W hut luls'lit Im- calW 'l ll.e ihiIU-

No one in this part of the country will accuse us of what is called "prejudice" against the negro. When he had not a friend in the South, except the carpet-bagger who wanted to take advantage of him and the scalawag who was merely a sis'ond-hand scrub edition of himself, we stood resolutely Itctwccn him and harm. We excited the hostility of all bur political iiecoclutc because we fought lor negro testimony in the courts. We did so 1s-caii-e it was essential to ju.-tiec, as needful to the white man as to the black man, in-li-M'iisable to the welUhcing of both. Again, we ostracised ourselves for a season because we urged the acceptance in good faith of tlie Constitutional amendments. It was our opinion that they were logical results of the war. We had not traveled at the point of Knell's, lloscvrans' and sherman'fl bayonets for nothing. We took our jiolitical alma mater (and a bloodstained, powder-sootisl piece of parchment it was too!) during the collegiate course of ls;i-4-T. We pcrfii tly uriilcrstood, and the representative Confederate element of the South understood, not only the terms of the surrender, but the meaning of the terms, emancipation, citizenship, suffrage. U e were not such finds as to siipose that a gigantic revolution like that of w hich we were the victims was going to evaporate like a bottle of ginger-pon. We very well knew that it would go the full length of the fanaticism which hvl been the soul of the successful war waged against us. Many of usdisttclicved in slavery. Indeed, the intelligence of the Smth was always as sound in lM opposition to the principle of slavery as that of the North. The trouble with us was that we had no wav of getting rid of it, and a modification ol its term was never presented to us. In tlie North w here jN'oplc hail sold their slaves when they found slave lalsir unprofitable never forgetting to MK'ket tlie proceeds in the North the question was sublimated and sentimental. In the South it was connected with a multitude of practical difficulties, not the least of which was that a nigger was worth a thousand dollars. Kut the war, which almlished slavery, convinced thoughtful js-ople In this part of the world that it would not end there; and consequently, that class of observers and simulators were not unpn pared for the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. Iuig In-fore they were declared by authority to lo pArts of the organic la'w, we hail anticipated them, and, w hen they began to operate In civil atlairs, we advised the jxtiple to accept them, to aid in their peaceful execution, and, by every possible means, to give them ami the tiegro ovcred by them a fair show. In a word, we reeognizi'd the fact that the ingro, as an excrimcnt, had Men d Into American olitics. and we had made up our mind that it was lcst to give the experiment forced upon us an honest trial. We an- still of this mind, and we. like the rest of the Confederate element in the Smth. are assisted in the position to which wc have committed ourselves by familiar, local scntimctitali-m for the blacks, which iscxcccdingly unctuous and cllieacious w hercver it is put in the field, and sweetened w ith a little liquor and currency. The Northern wople must not allow themselves t he dcliilsl v the notion that the Kchcls and the luggers are at outs. As tar as the black are concerned, the longest mi1c knocks down the x rsiuimons, no matter what tree it mav have tx t'ii cut from. Nothing Is to le gained for the North by concessions to the blacks n the assumption that they are to le purchased by legislation ; for a week's management, backed by a little money, can undo years of Intrigue, hair-splitting and cute statesmanship at Washington. That which the intelligence of the North should look to is the tendency of its Mii-y, Thus far the tendency of that policy has one hy one turned the Southern States over to anarc hy, as in South Carolina and Louisiana, or to a few picked men, as in Virginia and Mississippi, or to the people, as in Tennessee and Texas. The honest extremists of the North have in no single condition at the South Intii gratitlcd. nor will they Ire. The hocus-pocus of the iroiiticians over the negro is only calculated to drag dow ii, by disciediting, republican institutions through agrarian tievices ; and this is why, having assented to the settlement of the negro question upon an cxrcrimcntal constitutional basis, we object to the new proposal of the Kadicals to iiject him through the ivil-rights bill. Into our tea ami coilee, which with sul-inis-ion we urge is pushing an untried and still novel ex'tcriment to a point w hen by sot Ic'y is imperiled. We can af-, ford to have ihe politics of the country j subjected to a good ileal of quack-doctor-ing ; but the ivil-rights bill, w hich i- log-1

Ically debatable, is an invasion of those l laws of God and nature which override

the logic of men. e would leave the negro w here he is. We would try and educate him into a higher Usefulness. We would avoid an Impending w ar of races hy moderation, by the dissemination of reciprocal interests and kindly feelings, by the ail-healing cllecU of time, by mutual concession and compromises. Thus f -r all the concessions ami compromises have been wrung from the whites. Then- is a limit to the spirit w hich has gone so far ; ami w e would pans' and rest on the contines of that hitherto broad and tillable domain. The Civil-rights hill Is n volution ; it is the proclamation of a gradual war of races, or els; an equally destructive covert war if suppression ruinous o the blacks. We seek, for the good of both races, to avoid it. Kesl-ting the idea of a third term as we should resist the barefaeed proMsaI of a euup d'etat ami an hmjrcror, we should prefer It, and all that it implies ami portends, to any further progress on the line marked out by the Kepuhlican managers. The Republican says that " it is not improbable that the Courier-Journal sicaks by Inspiration." It refers complacently to our "lively sallies." It seak of us asa "skirmisher for the Lilsral lb-publicans and advanced Democrat," and adds : W ith in the laxt month or ix week aoine ol the leading ixiliticianM who oxei t.eu. t.rant in the last i'resldential calH'uiK0 have. If we may believe thetiiM-lvea, undergone a marked hang sif opinion o tar as ho in concerned, anil on certain continirenciea would nut lie at all averse to upiortinjr him. Onlvaweek or ten lny go, lor instance. Senator IVnton. who muimxed .Mr. Greeley campaign, and did more to amv whatever diSM-niiion existed in the l(euhlicun arty than nearly all the other Kepiililu ana continued, declared that if the election ol 1T Were to tM-cur tbii year, tha triumph ol t.en (.runt would l inevitable. Other ol lesser note have made aimilur tleclarationa, and It la not a lilllr ais-nillcant that the ''ora-ana" of the irentlenien have moderated the Tiolent and abusive tor.e In which thev have been accustomed lor Koine vear to a)M'ak of til administration. Ilaa the f'out irr-Journal been selected to lead the movement, to make the overturea of'peaccand reconciliation un the bama ol a renomination, ami ac rtuin the manlier of their reception V How like an organ," a paid retainer, a professional trencherman, all this sounds! Who is Senator Fenton ? Where Is he from? Is Jones, or Smith, or Krown to be counted among the "others of less note?" We sK-ak " hy Inspiration." certainly: but it is the insp!ration of the popular thought, of the time. We owe allegiance to no organization. We are tlie vidette of no clique. Kut we know our Mople well : ami, knowing them because a part of them, w henever we sjs-ak out of the fullness of our own mind and heart, we six-ak for them. They have no particular love for General Grant. They love their country and its In-e institutions, and its freer imcedeiits which they have striven to maintain ami preserve.
