How Hie London Times was Sen! (o Paris. The long columns of announcement* in the London

Timet,

intended tor friends in

Paris, have for some time been a frequent J.( subject of remark, and people wondered S what chance there was of their ever reaching the eves for which they Were meant. The means adopted lor this purpose are explained in the

limof

Janu

ary .",0. Those pages of the paper which :outained communications to relatives in iiris were photographed with great care the London Stereoscopic and Photohie Company on pieces of thin and •Inmost transparent paper, about an inch and"a half in length by an inch in width

On these impressions there could be seen by the naked eye only two legible words. The Times, and six narrow brown bands representing the six columns of printed mater forming a page of the newspaper. Under the microscope, however the brown spaces became legible, and every line of the newspaper was found to have been distinctly copied, and with the greatest clearness. The photographs weresent to Bordeaux for transmission thence bv carrier pigeon to Pari-.. When received there ihey were magnified. by aid of a magic lantern, to a large size, and thrown upon a screen A staff of clerks immediately transcrided the message and sent them off to the places indicated bv the advertisers.

Wi.se Generosity.

One of the ruoft absurd utterances of the iiyronic cynicism was that "the good die first." The best recipe for a long life is to lead a blameless one. We have among us—and we hope we shall have for many years to come—a signal proof of the whoicsomeness of active virtue and goodness. I'eter Cooper—a name to be egarded with respect and affection by all who love their kind—has shown, on his eightieth birthday, the same judicious and thoughtful generosity which has actuated him throughout his irreproachable life. It is easy to squander wealth in the pursuits of pleasure or the gratifications of a morbid vanity but the men are too few who have the means to bestow, the heart to give, and the sound, practical good sense to apply their benefactions to the best and most fruitful use. Mr. Cooper's munificent gift of $150,000 for a library of reference for workingmen is one of those happy inspirations of sympathetic common senfe which rank their authors among the select company of just men who have been wisely generous.

We trust he may long be spared to see he immediate fruits of his Christian liberality but many generations will come and go before the good results of this birthday offering are at an end. The nation is fortunate that recognizes the supreme importance of intelligence among its people and doubly happy if the patriotism and public spirit of its successful citizens are ready to supplement the public efforts at education by private generosity. The act of Mr. Cooper has a double value as a charity and an example. It should receive from other capitalists the genuine homage of imitation.—

N. K. Tribune.

Prosperity In Ireland.

IT is said that at the late Fenian banquet in Urooklyn, a gentleman of mnch culture and enlarged cxperince ofEuropean travel was proceeding to dilate upon the evidences of progress he had noted during a tour in the "Green Isle." This not being precisely the thesis which the managers of the feast were met to descant on, the worthy speaker was somewhat brusquely interrupted and his well-meant eulogism was stigmatized as "a burlesque upon Ireland." We find in the latest mail files ccrtain statistics which confirm the figures of speech of the indiscreet orator. During the year 1870, according to Dr. HANCOCK, the Irish statistician, there had been an increase of twenty-seven per. cent, in the ,«ums invested in post-oilice savings banks in his unhappy country. Between 1SG7 and 1S70 the sums deposited in corporate savings banks had increased by two and a htilf millions of dollars, while, during 1870, the deposits in Irish joint-stock banks had increased eight per cent, leaving a total in hand at the close of the year of Ifl'il.o.H'JjSOO. Dr. HANCOCK concludes that during the last three or four years the Irish people have been prosperous and show greater signs of a thrifty disposition." "Freedom and sasavinggang thegither," says the temperance emendation on Jit'KNs, and if Ireland progresses at this rate, the Fenians will' find their home occupation gone.—X 1".

THERE is a good storv told in Washington about a Chinese servant employed by Admiral I'orter. On reception day the duty of attending door was assigned to Ah Sin. Accustomed to the social usages of his own land, where a visitor's rank is indicated by the size of the card, and where a huge yellow one means the presence of a prince, he treated the little bits of pasteboard with contempt. While nodding his head and tossing the bits of paper unceremoniously into the basket, the gas collector happened to present his bill. The long yellow slip took Ah Siu, and with profound salaams he bowed the nstoBished gas man the presence of the amazed family.

The Deepest Hole in the World. Weclip the following from the

Republican:

When we quit work on the

artesian well near the insane asylum, it was admitted that the hole was the deepest in the world. The St. Louis hole is now beaten by one in the vicinity of Totsdam, which is drilled to a depth of more than-.-00 feet. Commenced with the intention of boring an artesian well, it now serves much more interesting purpose. At ft depth of 300 feet a mightly stratum of rock salt was discovered, which has not vet been pierced entirely at the imnunce depth of 5,500 feet. Other holes, distant several hundred feet, have been bored in order to ascertain the circumference of the salt bed, and everywhere -alt has heen struck at a depth of about oOn, feet.

The joke is, however, that none of the gentlemen whose names Col. Jones had the honor of lirst hoisting were ever elected. This may strike Messrs. Hendricks and Niblack as oniinou of defeat next vear.—EvmisriUi

A poou soldier in New 11 a:np-hire, who, after three application succeeded! in getting $100 bounty, sent at once S10 to an uncle who had loaned him that amount when he was in desperate need.

THE San Francisco Alta reminds the Republicans of California that if they intend to win the battle this year they must nominate their very best men for State oflicers, Congressmen and the Slate Legislature, and, moreover, that they must be thoroughly and efficiently organized.

THE excellence of 'possum fat and hominy as articles of food has long been celebrated by colored minstrels. It is now said that the flesh of the 'possum has medicinal virtues as well, it being a panacea for depression of spirits and low l'evers, and the several ailments incident to a^e and decrepitude. Don't believe it.

NOT many '"little men" are as brave an one who hails from Bridgeport, Connecticut. A short time ago the lad had three fingers cut off by some machinery shop. Did Fie cry? Not he. Looking upon his bleeding hand, the brave little fellow exclaimed,"I'll bet mother will cry when she sees that!"

A SJIOKMAKEU was fitting a customer with a pair of boots, when the buyer observed that he had but one objection to theuif which was that the soles were a little too thick. "If that is all," replied the shoemaker, "put on the boots and the objection will gradually wear away."

A WORD TO OUR €OJIP ETITOBS.

cuWe undenstand that certain merchants in this city, and a very large number of untry tnerchants/are complaining bitterly at what tliev term our monopoly of the Drv Goods trade. Gentlemen! we came to Terre Haute to break tip Monopolies— not to form them! Our road to success is not a royal road. There is no secret about it. Any one who wishes to do so, may walk in it You HAVK ONI.Y TO MAKK DOWN YOUR OLL) STOCK ABOUT ONE-HALF—GET KID OF IT—1H NEW OOODS AS CHEAPLY AS we DO, and in selling them, HE CONTENT WITH A LIVING PKOFIT, and the Sabbath like stillness of your stores will soon be broken up by the same eager throng of customers that you so constantly meet at our establishment. Far better do this, than seek to bolster a business "growingsmaller by degrees and beautifully less," by slander and abuse of us—for in this your customers are tindingyou out. You make a great mistake when you think they are so simpleminded as not to know for instance, that an Atlantic Mills Muslin is the same in your store that it is in ours. You are selling it at TEN cents a yard, aud we are selling it at SIX cents, but this neither makes yours nor ours any belter or any worse. It is the same Muslin still. That is all, gentlemen now drive ahead exactly as you please. Your abuse only advertises us and injures yourselves, so we can stand it, if YOU can.
