CURIOSITIES OF LIGHTNING. Its Physical Effects?Interesting Inci? dents, etc. I. Several years ago a correspondent con ? tributed a paper to a New York journal, in which be snowed from recorded facts, that the prevalent notion of safety from attacks of lightning in certain places, as in a bed, under a particular kind of tree (notably the beech,) the supposed pro? tective power of glass, etc., although gen erally so, does not always hold good, and that there is no place absolutely safe, while there is no method of determining which way the flash will come or where it will strike.? Science must advance be? yond its present Stage, before we can lay dbwn infallible rules, for guidance in this matter. His collect'on of facts demonstrated, t however, ih^t .there is something very mysterious in the attacks of lightning ou the-bodies bf both men and animals.? Some of the incidents cited by him, are certainly veiy curious.- Forinstauce, in 1772, Mr,:1 Tearthly, o_f Harrotage, Eng? land*, was killed^ by: "lightning while asleep in bed; and incredible as it may .seem.his wifes-lying-by his side,- was not e ven awakened 'by ihe.sb.ock. In 182S, lightning destroyed a wooden - bedstead in a cottage near Chi ehester, throwing the clothes ou the floor, and with them a maltrass and a person sleep? ing^ upon- it, without doing any injury to the occupant of the bed. i;i In 1780; two persons , were killed at Eastbourne, while standing inside a win? dow during a thunder storm; the glass * was ^reduced, to powder, but the wood \ work of the window remained uninjured. - In 1819, lightning struck the prison at Biberach, and out of twenty persons con-' fined in one apartment, it attacked .only a. brigand, who was chained around tue waist, leaving the others unscathed. In f849, during a thunder-storm, a - lady raised her arm to shut a window in hex.apartment; the*" lightning flashed, ?. jinda.gold.bracelet "so completelydisap ->*peared, thaVnot,a vestige of it could be ? found," and yet the lady herself was not hurt. The complete, disappearance of v the bracelet is probably a bit of exagger? ation; the melting without the actual disappearance, is credible; for in 1844, a ^'lightning flash struck a fishing boat off ? the Shetland-Islands, shivered the mast, - - and melted a watch" in the pocket of a ... man sitting near the mast, without even scorching his clothes or injuring him. % In 1858, a woman was killed hy light? ning near Auxerre, in France, and not a wound waB found- upon her body; but a B?ver comb in herhair was melted?pro bably indicating the spot where the death ?troke was given. Brydone relates an incident of a lady whose bonnet vwas reduced to ashes by lightning, while she was looking out the 1 /window at a thunder-storm. The wire .in tuVbonnet probably attracted .the "electricity , v , In 1808, a. lightning- flash struck a house in a Swiss-'village, in which five _ 'childreniwere sitting on a bench; it ?^""killed the first and the last in the row, but gave only a "violent shock to the oth? ers. . Id. 1858, at Drome, in France, a light ning flash killed a young girl in a farm house, but left untouched a child in ber *?nus. I fy In 1785, lightning attacked a stable at Kambouillet, in which there were thirty two horses in ? row; thirty were over- ] turned, of which tile two at the extreme ? ends pf the line were killed. " In 1801, a miller near Chartres, was walking between a horse and a mule; the two animals were struck dead by light- ' ning, while the man escaped with only sight injury. In 1781, while three French gentle? men were out riding, a flash killed all three of the horses, b?t only one of the riders. ? In 1826, a boy was leading a mare on a road near-Worcester ; a thunder storm came on, which killed the mare, but left the boy unhurt. In 1810, while a man was sitting with his dog by his side, a lightning flash killed the latter, but gave only slight shock to the former. In 1858, "while a clergyman near Leatberhead, was riding* * in a carriage with two members of his family, a lightni ng flash struck the driver from his seat without hurting the other persons or the horses. In 1871, the Austin, Texas, Gazette, made this statement: ?r *-r- "We have been shown a private letter ;^ from T. A. Sampson, of Pine Bluff, Ar? kansas^ in-which, he relates a very extra . ordinary circumstance of a negro preach . er, who was -stricken dead by light ;Vnfng while Addressing the congregation. And what is remarkable, on the succeed - ing day, when his remains were carried to the grave, and while in the act of bu t ry ing him another bolt of heaven struck 'his coffin, leaving his remains a ghastly sight." No mention is made of any other per * son having been injured on either occa? sion. In the present state of science, rapid as have been the strides in the various de? partments, physicists are unable to ex? plain the why. and the wherefore of these incidents; why one should be takea and another left in the same bed, and the nurse killed but the child in her - arms spared. II. THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF LIGHT STING FBOil A MOSTINTERjSSTING STUDY. Sometimes lightning produces com? plete and instantaneous paralysis. The suppression of movement in the vietim in these circumstances is so rapid- that those who have witnessed it might have thought they suffered from some illusion. * Jerome Card en re? lates that eight reapers who were eating tbeir dinner under an oak tree, were all struck by the same flash of lightning, the explosion of which was heard far away. When some people passing by approached to see what had happened, they found the reapers to all appearance continuing their repast, one still held his glass in his hand, another was in the act of putting a piece of bread into bis mouth, a third had his hand in the dish, etc. Death had come upon them sud? denly while in theso positions, when the thunderbolt fell. Azeal had seized upon them with so much violence that he had impressed upon the entire surface of their bodies the mournful tint of his black wings. Tbo narrator of the event says one might have taken them for statutes sculptured out of black mar? ble. The catastrophe was so rapid that the faces of the victims had no time to take any expression of pain; life was suppressed so instantaneously that the . muscles remained unmoved. The eyes and mouth were open as in life; and bad not the color of the skin been so much changed the illusion would have been complete. It has been remarked also that the fea? tures of persons struck by lightning, instead of being contracted, usually assume a calm, happy expression, and the conclusion has been drawn that they enter without shock or pain into the presence of the Infinite Being. Although death resulting from light? ning is painless, because instantaneous, some of those at least who have been struck by lightning and recovered, did not find it a painless operation. .This is the experience of a Michigan man (a Castle) as reported to the Whitewater Segister. A storm coming up, he put his team in the barn and sat down in tbo door with face toward the inside. A stroke of lightning killed his horses, pros? trated him, doing its work too swiltiy to give him the slightest warning of its coming. His first remembrance upon returning to his consciousness was of hearing his daughter, who had run down from the house about twenty-five rods distant, exclaim: "Oh! father is dead!" . Upon opening his eyes, the whole air and sty seemed to be in a blaze. He also became conscious of the most intense suffering, and especially in his lower limbs. , He says the.pain was like that of a burn, and that he could not have suffered mor&irom what followed if he had been held in the flames. His wife and daughter, upon seeing that he was still alive, desired to remove him to the house, but he begged to be left where he was, and not to be dis turbed.as he felt that he could live but a few minutes, and that he might as well die there as to be put to li.c needless torture of removal. As he seemed to gain strength, however, he was soon ta? ken to the bouse and made as comforta? ble as possible, but eight or ten hours elapsed before he was able to move cither of his lower limbs. The left hip and leg seemed to be more affected than the right, and the symptoms for a time indicated that the bones were injured. But these soon passed away. The mark of the lightning was apparent from the shoul? ders to the calf of the right leg, in the shape of a broad, irregular strip, from which the skin peeled off as though it had been scalded. The New York Medical Journal had an interesting paper a few years ago on the physiological effects of lightning, from which- we gather some facts touch? ing the great and consuming heat of this invisible agency. "A thunderbolt has becu seen," says the writer, "to split a tree without even blackening it while it reduced to ashes a shepherd who had taken refuge under its branches." Abbe Eichard says of another inci? dent: "One man alone was killed and almost reduced to dust, in the midst of many others who were under the same tree." "The most curious as well as the most recent instance is the following: "At Viscur, Aisne, "in 1838, a thunderbolt struck a lime tree, under which three soldiers had taken shelter; they were all killed at the same instant; still although lifeless, the three remained erect, as if the electric fluid had not reached them, their clothing also appearing uninjured. But when they were touched tbey all fell ?so it is said?into a heap of ashes.", These are remarkable incidents, but the Medical Journal regards them as suf? ficiently well authenticated to illustrate the intensity of the heat of this element. Some opinions have been advanced by physicists touching the nature of this heat. Colonne says-: "The fire of exhalation which forms the thunderbolt most be so subtile and penetrating that it kills a man by drying instantaneously all his humors, without in the least changing his figure. We do not perceive him dead until wo touch him, and then we see him fall to dust." Groberg says: "It is demonstrated that lightning re? duces bones to ashes, hut never to the state of fusion." Abbe Man says: "Lightning reduces to ashes all parts of the human body without altering the clothes or the skin." Besides the complete incineration of persons or of bone, and of the tree struck by lightning, it has also been found, ac? cording to mcidents cited by the Medi? cal Journal, that some inorganic bodies have been treated in like manner under the powerful heat of lightning, such as the following: a lady's oonnet, a man's shoe, except the wooden sole ; panes of glass in windows; a cloth covering shields which were fused; a purse the fold and silver which it contained not eing damaged; the scabbard of a sword; a large beam reduced to dust in the mid? dle of a chamber; the wood of a cask destroyed by lightning, etc. Strange as it may appear, this element possesses a power the reverse of heat. General Comte de Maistre informs Dr. Boudin that some Sardinian sailors killed by lightning in the Mediterranean, pre? sented all the signs of death by freezing. "This observation is the more remark? able," adds Dr. Boudin, "as it recalls the congealation of wine long ago noticed by the ancients." On a man struck by lightning toward the back of the head, there could be found neither fracture nor fissure, nor yet an alteration in any other part of the skull. The brain was also very sound, there being only at the superior part con? gealed lymph, which had infiltrated into the folds of the pia mater. The young man thus killed remained in the position he was at the time the thunder? bolt struck him. ' It is remarkable that this element should produce intense heat or freezing could; that it should kill in one instance without leaving any mark of its power and iu another that it should consume to ashes. Will this mystery ever be solved ? A Sensible Idea.?What farmer bus not been damaged by the carelessness of hired help? Sometimes it is only a bro? ken fork-handle or axe-helve?articles inexpensive in themselves, but which could not be got along without at a criti? cal time. A few farmers of our acquain? tance pay better wages, and require their hands to pay all damages caused by care? lessness, and it works admirably. The following, written by Mary W. Fisher, for the Rural JXeio Yorker, might be adopted with profit whenever hired help is employed. One of the rules of "our house" is to make the "help," both on the farm and in the house, responsible for the loss and breakage of articles confined to their care and use. The result is, that the breakage of crockery is almost nothing, and other losses are in proportion. I think that "help," as a rule like this method of management much better than the "fuss" and scolding that usually accompany breakage. They learn a double lesson this way ; to be careful, and to know the cost and value of things. Of course the master or mistress can always make what? ever allowance they think best in regard to accidents. Whenever I have occasion to introduce new "help" into my family services, I inform her at the outset that what she will have to pay for; and the announcement is always good naturedly received. Not long ago, I overheard a new arrival in the kitchen remark to my housekeeper: "Madamc's rule is a good one about breaking dishes. I was at a place two years ago, where there was the same rule, and where I broke some dishes. But mind you, I haven't broke any since. Some girls slam dishes around, and don't care wheth? er they break 'em or not. I guess if they bad 'em to pay for, they would be more careful;" and I was quite of the same j mind. It is sometimes well to know the opinion of hired help on household management. ? A correspondent of the Philadol ?hia Press, who accompanied a party of ennsylvanians on a trip South, closes a series of letters as follows : "In 1873 I passed over some portions of theShenan doah region we now traversed. The property which was destroyed by Sheri? dan's march alone was estimated at $50, 000,000. With all the Confederate money worthless, fences all swept away, houses and buildings gone, nothing but the bare land left, it is not surprising that so recently as seven years ago the country was a comparative waste. But now new farm buildings meet us at every step, and the fields are feuccd and under good culture, such as would be no dii> graca to some of the famous farm dis? trict of Pennsylvania. On the other ha'jd, the mineral resources of Virginia aro being developed with amazing rapid? ity. Mines for iron and coal are being opened in every direction, and we see railroad work for new lines continually."' ? As the Grange continues to prosper the farmers' children will continue to be better educated, and parents will come to better understand the necessities of their calling and their own relation to society and government, Growth of the South. Fragmentary estimates of the popula? tion of the citie3and States, as furnished by the census of the present year, have been given from time to time in thc>S??. They indicate a larger increase in the population of the Southern Stales than was expected, and it is believed that this increase will, on the whole, compare fairly well with that of the Northern States du j ring the past decade. Some part of this apparent Southern increase may he due to the greater thoroughness with which j the present census has been taken there ; it) comarison with the enumeration of > 1870. Apart, however, from this, there I has been a large increase of population I from inter-State and foreign immigration than mo3t persons are aware of. Texas, as is well known, has been and still is a favorite field for immigration, and the census indicates that,, from natural causes, the gain in population during the past ten yearB, has been somewhere about ninety per cent. There has also been a j considerable emigration to some parts of I Tennessee, and particularly to the eastern j counties, where colonies have established for dairy and stock-raising purposes, and where companies have been formed with? in easy reach of the railroads to devel ope its mineral resources. So far as heard from the estimated increase of popu? lation ranges, according to localities, from three to one hundred and three per cent. In Alabama, in like manner, associations of capitalists from other States have add? ed to its growth in population by estab? lishing furnaces and iron works in that region^ so rich in coal and iron ore. In Virginia there has been somcimmigration [ from England, but more from Pennsyl I vania and the Eastern States, large bod? ies of lands, rich in coal and iron, having been bought up there by eastern iron masters and others. The estimated in? crease in population in Florida is over sixty per cent.; in Arkansas nearly fifty per ceut.; in West Virginia sixty per cent.; in Louisiana and the other Gulf States about twenty per cent. As these figures are official, and the appointment or enumerators is altogether in Republi? can hands, any charge of fraud in the enumeration is simply ridiculous. It was natural that the Southern States,- with their abundance of cheap landsj should increase in population when their labor system was adjusted much more rapidly than before, and this is what they have done.?Baltimore Sun. The Candidate Nuisance. An overworked housekeeper iu Aikcn County, a resident at Ellcnton, sends the following humorous complaints against the candidates to the Charleston Xctcs and Courier, under date of August 16 : Well, we are in for it now, sure enough ?sixteen candidates out for the Legisla? ture, two for the State Senate, and uhost of others for all the small offices. The following is a pretty fajr specimen of how things are coing on : Mr. Joseph Smith, who is a man of much influence in his county, has a candidate to dinner, candi? date and two friends to supper and stay all night; sun rise next morning, candidate at tho gate, invite him in to breakfast; by the time breakfast is over there are three more at the gate. Smith and his friends get their horses and all ride to the nearest cross-road store, and there find about twenty candidates withjthe usual number of hangers-on, each one taking up for his friend, and some? times growing very warm in their asser? tions that Ais man is the "right man in the right place." About 2 o'clock Smith i takes advantage of some very animated j discussion, and meanly slips home to dinner before some of those plagued can j didates git here?goes into the parlor and finds two candidates waiting for him. After dinner he advises the gentlemen to Eay his neighbor, Mr. Jones, a visit as e, Jones, is lukewarm and needs stirriDg up. Smith then orders an early supper and betakes himself to his neglected fod? der field "to look after them niggers." The family have just finished supper, and are congratulating themselves on be? ing able to spend one night alone, when the waiting boy appears, and with agrin on his ebon countenance informs "Mars. Joe" that "four more dem candle lights is out to the gate." "Ask them in," says Smith, and turing to Mrs. Smith meekly suggest supper, whereupon she stalks out of the room and invades the cook's domains with the requirements for producing, as Mrs. Tanner has it, "a good square meal" for four hungry men. Cook immediately gives notice of intention to "quit," for she couldn't be so ' boddered wid kumpny," so Mrs. Smith and her el? dest daughter prepare, as best they can, a supper for their lawmakers. Smith sits up until a late hour, talking politics with his/ne/itfs, and retiring to his chamber as quietly as possible, so as not to wake "poor Betsy Jane" who has had such a trying day, finds her sitting up for him. As he enters she confronts him, and in a voice where mingled wrath and indigna? tion struggle for mastery informs the meek Smith that she intends to go to moth? er's in the morning and take the chil? dren with her, for the cook has left, and the house boy has so many horses to at? tend to that he is no use to her, and alto? gether she docs not intend to stand it any longer. Death of a Famous Georgian. Agusta G.a., August 17. ExGoveruor Hershel V. Johnson died at his residence, in Jefferson County, Ga., last night, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. He was Presidential elector and Judge iu 1844, U. S. Senator in 1848, and Gov? ernor of Georgia from 1853 to 1857. He was also the Democratic caudidate for Vice President with Douglass in I860 and a member of the Secession Convention in Georgia in 1SG1, who he opposed vig? orously the policy of leaving the Union. In 1863 he was elected to the Confeder? ate States Senate, and presided over the State Constitutional Convention in 1865. In 1866 he was elected U. S. Senator, but was not perniittted to take his seat. In 1873 he was elected a Circuit Judge of the State, which position he held at the time of Iiis death. Wicked for Clergymen.?Rev. -, Washington, D. C, writes : "I believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medi? cines, but when a really meritorious article made of valuable remedies known to all, that all physicians use aud trust in daily, we should freely commend it. I therefore cheerfully and heartily com? mend Hop Bitters for the good they have doue me and my friends, firmly believing they have no equal for family use. I will not be without them."?New York L'ajifid Weekly. ? There are 2,000 convicts on the rolls of the Texas peuitentiary. ? Since it has been announced that Tanner will lecture there has been a general regret that his fast was success? ful. ? Buffers in Burns County, Nebraska, are gathering for the Eastern markets vast quantities of old buffalo and cattle bones that lie around loose on the prai? ries, for which they pay $5 per ton. ? Persons who may use nitrate of soda as a fertilizer ought to be careful about the cows, if they get to it they will eat it, and if they do death will ensue. In small quantities it is a medicine, in larger dose3 a poison. ? It is slated that the inhabitants oT London consume annually 16,000,000 bushels of wheat, 4,000,000 oxen, 1,500, 000 sheep, 130,000 calves, 250,000 pigs, 8,000,000 head of poultry and game and 40,000,000 pouuds of fish.
