Itu IPhysteal Kfficctj-Iutel c?Ung Xuct dcnts, ct v. ~L~ Several year? ?go a correspoudene con ? tri Luted a poper to a New York journal, in which ho showed from recorded facts, that tho i revalent notion of safety froth ntiackB of lightning in certain places, os in a bed, under a particular kind, of tree (notably the beech,) the supposed pro tective power of glass, etc.. oltnoU."1: gen erally eo, 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 fettige, before we cen lay down infallible) ru leanor guidnuco in this matter. , His collection ot ficta demonstrated, however, that i^eic in something very mysterious in tho attacks of lightning on the bodies bf both men and anlmahvr Somo of tho incidents cited by him, aro certainly'very curious.-. For instance, in 1772, Mr. Hearth ly, of Harrotoge, Eng? land, was hilled by lightning, whim asleep in bed ; and incredible na it may seem his Wife, lying by his side, was not even awakened by" tho ?hock. In 1828, lightning destroyed a wooden bedstead in n cottage near Olsichestc . throwing tho clothes on the floor, rind with them a maltraes ami a perron steep ing' upon it, without doing any injury to tho occupant of tho hod. In 1780, two pert?tis were killed at Eastbourne, while atandjog insido n Bin dow during s lhunde? storm; tho gloss was reduced to powder, hut the wood work of the window remained uninjured. In 1819, lightning elyuck tho prison at Biberach, aaa out of twenty persons con fined in DUO apartment, it attacked only ii brigand, who was chained around ino waiitt, leaving tho others unscathed. In 1849, during a thundcr-alorio, a ? lady raised her arm to Bhut a window in her. apartment; tim lightning flashed, and a goiri bracelet "so completely disap peared, that not a vestige of it could bo round," ami yet thc lady herself woo' not hart. Tho completo disappearance of thc braccjet lr. probably n hit of exagger ation ; thc melting without tho actual dieoppoaranco, ? credible ; for iu 1844, a lightning flash struck a fishing boat off tho Shetland Islands, shivered tho mast, . and melted a watch in tho pocket of a man sitting near'tho'mast, without even scorching "is clothe* or Injuring him. In I80?, a woman was killed hy light ning ?.car Auxerre, in Franco, and not a wound: was found upon her body; but a silver comb in her hair was melted-pro bably indicating tho Bpf.t where tho death' ?iroso was given. Brydone relates an'Incident of n lady whoso bonuct woo reduced to ashes by Belittling, while alie was looking out tho window at a thunder-storm. .Tho wiro in tho bonnet probably attracted thc electricity In 1808, p. lightning flanh struck a house in ?i Bw?s? village, in which' fivo children wcro sitting on a bench ; it killed .the, first and tho last in tho row, hut gavo only a violent ?hock to tho otb.? ere. - T.. iona - i -T.I-_ i.._?-. t.. ^vxnr, mr ?.-. ,.171?,;??? f smiVC, Cl Ililli , ning flash killed n young girl ina farm?

In 1810, while a man waa slttiug with iiio dog by his nulo, ii lightning' flash killed thit lattor, but gave only slight shock to ?i?,fbrmer. In 1808, while a clergyman pear Leatherhead, waa riding in a cairlago: with two #netabora of his fatalhfi a ligh'uing flash druck the driver from jits seat ?without hurting the other persona or tho horses. In 1871, tho Auatill, Texas, Gaselte, m ?ido thia statement : "Wo have hoon shown ? private le/.tcr from T. A. Sampson, of Pine J?luff, Ar?

His wife ano daughter, unan seeing i that ho was still alive, desired to remove j him to thc house, but be begged to be left where he was, and not to bo dis turbed,as he felt that he could live buta few minutes, and that ho might as well die lhere as to be put tn tuc needless torturo of removal. As he seemed to Sain [strength, however, he was soon ta co to the house and mode os comforta ble ns posible, but eight or ten hours elapsed before bo was able to move either of his lower limbs.- Tho left hip and leg seemed to be moro affected than the right, and the symptoms for a time indicated that tho boucs were injured; But theso econ passed away. The mark of tho lightning was apparent from tho shoul ders to tho calf of tho right leg, in tho shape of u broad, irregular ?trip, .Vom which tho ?hin peeled off as though il had been scalded. Tho New York Medical Journal had an interesting paper n foi/ y cora ngo on tho physiological effects of lightning, from which wo gather somo facts touch ing the great and consuming heat of this iuvisible agency. "A thunderbolt boa been ?ec?," or.ys the writer, "to split a tree without even blackening it while it reduced to ashes a shepherd who hod taken rofugo under its branches." Abbe Richard says of another inci dent: "One mau alouc wa? killed and almost reduced to dust, in tho midst of many others who were under tho sumo tree." "The most curious ns well OB tho most receut instance is tho following: "At Viecur, Aisne, 'in 1838. a thunderbolt I struck a limo tree, under which thrco soldiers had taken shelter ; they were all killed at the samo instant; still although lifeless, the three remained, erect, as if tho electri c liuid had not reached tlicm, their clothing , also appearing uninjured. But when they were touched they all fell -so it is said-r-inlo a heap offnes.", These are remarkable incidents, ; but tho ATcdteai Journal regards them as Buf ficicntly well authenticated lo illustrate tho intensity of tho heat of this element. Somo opinions have been advanced by physicists touching tho nature of this heat. Colonna says-: "Tho Cr? cf exhalation which forma tho thunderbolt must bo a? aublilo And fPenetrating that it kills a man by drying natantancuuBly all his humors, without in tho least clanging his figure. Wo do not perccivo 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, but never to tho atnte of fusion." Abbo Man enys : "Lightning reduces to oshea all parts of tho human body without altering tho clothes or tho skin." Besides tho complete incineration of persons or bf bono, and of the trco struck I by li&btninir. it bas oleo been fou nd L ac I cording to Incidents cited by the Medi cal Journal, that somo inorganic bodies hove.been treated in like manner under ? ho powerful heat of lightning, such as tho following : n lady's nonner, o man's shoe, except the wooden sole ; panes of glass in wiudowa; a cloth covering shields which wero fused; a purso tho gold and silver which it contained not Being damaged ; tho scabbard of a sword ; n large beam reduced to dust in tho mid dlo of a chamber ; tho wood of a cask destroyed by lightning, etc. Strange as U moy appear, thin element pwsesaea n p'*wor tho reverse of heat. ?3 en eral Cotmo dt Maistro informs Dr. X?>?uM> v.r?? nofn?rc?fui?inu c?ji?f? ninSu by lightning in tho Mediterranean, pre sented ail tho signs of death by freezing. "This observation: is tho moro remark able," adds Dr. Boudin, "as it recalls the ! congcalatlon of wino long ago noticed by tl?*,c?lenla." Un a man iitruck by lightning townrd tho back of tho head, thero could ho found neither fracture nor fissure, nor yet adulteration in any othor part of tho skull. Thu brain was also very sound, there hoing only at tho superior part con gealed lymph, which find infiltrated frito tho folds of tho pia mater. Tho yoting man thus killed remained in tho position he was nt tho time tho thunder bolt struck him. ' It is remarkable that this element should produce intenso heat or freezing could ; that it should kill in one instance without leaving any mark of its power and in another that i> should conkuine to ashes- Will this mystery ever be solved ? A Sui JBI.E IDEA.--Whot farmer has not been damaged by tho carelessness of hired help? Sometimes it is only a bro ken fork-handle or axe-helve-articles inexpensive in themselves, hut which could not bo got along without at a cri ti cal limo. A few farmers of our acquain tance pay better wages, and require their hands to pay all-damages caused ny care lessness, and il works..admirably. The following, written by Mary W. Fisher, foi' tho Bural Neto Yorker, might bo adopted with profit whenover hired help is employed. ivOuoof tho rules of "our houso" fa to moko tho "help," both on tho farm and Hui tho house, responsible for the loos und breakage of articles cor finer'/ to their care and use. Tho result ia, thai f?? brcakago of crockery fa olmost no'.hing, and othor losses aro in proportion. I think tbnt "help," aa a rulo Uko thia method-of management much belte r than tho "fuss',' and scolding that usually accompany breakage. They learn a double lesson this way ; to be careful, and to know thc cost and value, of thlnga. Of course the master or mistress cnn always make what ever allowance they think best in regard to accidents. Whenever. I havo occasion to Introduce now "help" into mv inmllv ?ryl?j?g. .T Inform h^r nt. tho outset that' what elie wi?l have to pay for; and tho announcement is always good naturedly received.' Not long ago, I overheard a nev; arrival in the kitchen remark to my housekeeper : "Madame's mia ia a cooli one about breaking dishes. I was at n placo two years ago? whore lhere was the same mic, and where I broke some .dishes. But mind you, I haveu't bmko any since. Somo girls slam dishes around, and don't t. cr they break 'cm or no?. I?ucaaif they bad'em to pay .for, they would, bc moro careful and I was quito of the samo mind. It is sometimes well to know tho opinion- of hired help o? household management. - A correapotrdttit of the Philadel phia JHi$, who accompanied o. party of Pennsylvanians on a iripSOulh, closes a series of la\?.? a c-:Ur.\i: -'In lMfft! nas.?ed over some .portions of iho?uenan* doab region- wo now traversed.

Fragmentary ??U?ates of the popula tion of the eitle? and Htatea, as furnished by tho census of the present year, hare been given from time to tims id the Sun. They indicate a larger increase in tho population of tho Bouthern States than iras expected, nnd it is believed that this increase will, on the whole, compare fairly tvcll with that of thc Northern otates du* ring the past decade. Some part of this apparent Bouthern increase may bo due | to tho greater thoroughness with which tito present census bas been taken tbcro j ih comarisoij with the enumeration of 1870. Apart, however, from this, tbcre bas been a large increase of population from intcr-Btatc and foreign 'inmigration than most persons sra 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 popularon during tho past len years, bas been somewhere about ninety per cent. There bas also been a considerable emigration to some yarlu of Tennessee, and particularly to the eastern counties, where colonies baye established for dairy and stock-raising purposes, and I where companies have been formed with in ensy resell of tho railroads to dovel I ope its mineral reso? recs. Bo far as j beard from the estimated increase of popu I lotion ranges, according to localities, from j 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 ann iron works in that region, BO rich in con! and iron ore. In Virginia there bas been some immigration from England, but more from Pennsyl vania and tho Eastern States, largo bod-' ics of Ian .is, rich in coal and iron, having been bought up tbero by eastern iron masters and others. Tho estimated in crease in population in Florida is over sixty per cent. ; in Arkansas nearly fifty per cent. ; in West Virginia sixty per cent. ; in Louisiana and tho other Gulf 8tnlcs about twenty per cont. As theso figures aro official, und the appointment of enumerators i.< altogether in Republi can bands, any cbargo of fraud in tho enu?<.'-nt;.an is simply ridiculous. It was natural that tho Bouthern Staten with their abundance of cheap lands, should increase in population when their labor system was adjusted much more rapidly than before, and this is what they nave done.-Baltimore Sun. Tito Candidato Nuisance, An overworked housekeeper iu Aiken County, a resident at Ellenton, sends the following humorous complaints ngninut tho candidates to the Charleston Actes and Courier, under dato of August 16 : Well, we aro In for il now, euro enough -sixteen candidates out for tho Legisla ture, two1 for tho Btato Senate, nnd a host of others for all the small offices. The following is a pretty fajr specimen of how things dre going on : Mr. Joseph Smith, who bra man of much influence in bis county, bas a candidate to dinner, candi date and two friends to supper and stay all night; sunrise next morning, candidato at tho gate, invito htm in to breakfast; by tho time' breakfast IH over tbero aro throe moro at tho gate. Smith nnd his friend; got their horses and all ride to tho nearest cross-road stor?,. and there find about twenty candidates withjtlfe usual number of hangers-on, each ono taking up fur bis friend, and some times growing very warm in their asser tions that hi? mania tbo "right man in tho right placo." About 2 o'clock Smith tokes advantage of some very animated discussion, and meanly slips borne to dinner before soino of tboso plagued can didates git ber?-goes Into tho pnrlcr nud finds two candidates waiting for him. Aftcf oinnc-f be advises the gentlemen to Eay his neighbor, Mr. Jones,.a visit as c, Jone?, is lukewarm and needsst'r..og up. Smith then orders an carly supper and betakes himself to bis neglected fod der field "to look after, them f niggers." The family linvo just finisher! supper, and are congratulating thoms/ivcs on be ing abie to spend ono night alone, when the waiting boy appears, and with a grin on his ebon countenance informs "Mara. Joe" that "four moro dem candle lights ia out to tho gate." "Ask ihcinln". says Smith, and luring to Mrs. Smith meekly suggest supper, whereupon she stalks out ot the room and invades tho cook's domains with the requirements for producing, ns Mrs. Tanner has it, "a good square meal" for four hungry men. Cook immediately gives notice of intention to "quit," for she couldn't bo so ' boildered wid kumpny," so Mrs. Smith nnd ber el dest daughter prepare, as best they can, a supper for their lawmakers. Smith s!ts up until a late hour, talking, pol?tica with mi friend*, and retiring to bia chamber as quietly as possible, so as not to wake "poor Betsy Jano" who bnfl had such a trying day, finds ber sitting, up for him. Aa bo enters she confronts Hilm, and in a .voice where mingled wrath and indigna tion etrugglo tor mnotory informs the mcekSmlth tbatsbe intends to go to moth er's in the morning and take tho chil dren with ber, for tue cook has left, and tho house boy has sb many horses to at tend to that he is no uso to her, and alto gether sho doe? ??it intend to stand lt any longer. .
