The Color-Teats of Chemistry.
The color-tests of chemistry, are,
boiuo of them?those, for instnuco, indi
cating the preeenoo of strychnine?ex
tremely delioato, and, if carefully taado,
unerriug in their indinations m fnr us
thoy go. But they only iadicite the
presoucc of the substance in sjmo unde-.
fined qusutity?it nuy bo extremely
srolll. If, therefore, thesa color
indicate tho presence of strychnine in
tho stomich of a in .in who has di>-d nn
der suspicion* eireumHturicos, the pre*
umptiou of poisoning with sttychniuc
would bo very strong, unlosi he li id re
cently taken into lh>.' stomach s<>:ne sub
stance probably coutainiug a trace of
Btrychnioo sufficient to respond to the
color-tests, but was not sufficient in
quantity to produce any poisonoUH
or deleterious effects eveu in tho largest
doses of the supposed substance that can
bo taken into the stomach. Now, whis
key is such a substanoo. The manufac
turers find that by the use of strjchoini
in their fermenting vats they get a lar
ger yield of spirit, and on cheaper terms,
tliau by auy other proocss. ltenc<*, it 'u
very extensively employed by the large
manufacturers j aud often, though not
always, leaves in the whiskey produoel
a sufficient traco of its presence to res
pond to the color-tests, though net
onough to produco any deleterious ef
fects on the h?alth of the drinker. The |
color-tests, as cvid^nco of poisoning,
would therefore be nugatory, il thoj-cr
son Buspeeted to be poisoued had re
ceutly imbibed whiskey; and the chemist
to make his tostiiuony of any value in
such case, must prooocd to quantitative
analysis] that is, to separate tLe atiyeh
nine sufficiently from all other mbatuueo#
by processes woll know to chemistry, to
ascertain the precise quantity then exis
ting in the stomach.
In a recent trial for poisoning, the
foreman of the jury happened to bj ac
quainted with the foregoing facts. The
phJh?ioian who made the p-mt mortem
examination stated that ho found noth
ing to conviuoc him that the deceased
died from poisoning, uutil he found from
the color-tests evidence of the presence
of strychnino in tho contents oJ' the
stomach; that by this cvideuco ho was
^oy, and hud probably imbibed it on
moruiag of his death. Tho foreman,
therefore, to save himself from the eui*
barrassing position of being compelled to
aoceptas good, cvidtneeagainst tho life
of the accused, which, though of the
highest personal chnractor, bo knew
irom the foregoing considerations to be
utterly nugatory, asked him if the quan
tity ofstryohniuo in a dram of common
whiskey would not probably yield all
the characteristic color* of strychnine ?
and ho promptly answered, "Yes; if there
woro any at all ; for the thirty-thousand
th of a grain would produco thom."
Tho Court, howover, ruled this out, on
tho ground that there was no proof of
fered that thcro was any strychnino at
all in whiskoy. It is, howover, a well
known fact.
Tho Zodiacal Light.
An nrticlo on this subject is
being ventilated by tho pre**, ascrib
ing tho somewhat mysterious phenome
non, as heretofore has been done by wri
ters on populnr science (nocalled,) "to a
faiut, cloudJiko rinp, perhnps a meteoric
*ono around the sun;" or, as is sofoctimes
noar tho equator seen nt the sumo mo
incnt, in eastern and western horiion, "to
n nebulous ring that surrounds tho earth
within tho orbit of the moon;'' or to an
incalculable number of small planetary
bodies revolving round tho sun, too
small to bo seen individually, even by
tho most power Ail telescope, but reflect
ing this diffuso light by tho immensity of
their numbers." Now all theso are
pretty hvpothesca?scientific toys
built up in forgotflilncss of one fhet whi-h.
when announced, knocks them to piveos!
That/hot is this: that in tbo' complete
darkness of a total ocllpse of tho sun w,.
fee nothing of tho sodiucal light nroun.l
bhn. ^Vot, il it were duo to either of
the causes abovo mentioned, it would
hlaio forth in that darkness, and conMi
?ute (lie grandest and most impressive
phenomenon of a total eclipse of the sun.
From all the faets wo h .ve boen ablo to
K?thor with rospoct to this phenomenon,
W? incline to locato its eaus< in the up
per regions of the earth's stmosphoro?
there to remain, liko the aurora borealis
perhaps for ages, and po*| ?ly forever,
ioexplioab'e.
Judge Oarpentar,
Judge Carpenter has presided over
our court of General Sessions and Com
won I'leas with ? dignity, suavity, tour
?esi and ability worthy of tho "old
regime.' Wooould not, pay a highoi
compliment than this to any judge of
? he present day, nnd we pay it to hit*,
f Jely, cordially, heartdy, became it is
his due; though We into d to make war
to the knife (or. pe< haps we hsd letter
?ay to the pen-hilt, for w? are not bloody,
minded,) on I im alid the "/"'/I*'//" in tl <?
ensuing jnft]i ieal eon tint.
Thobiiv^r'i A Coining, Oao 1 Oho !
It appears thai tho Sccrctary of the
Treusuiy, after ttooooos?ry vie lay fur
political and party purpows, hm at length
issued his circular to Assistant Treas>ur
* t A ? ?
eft iu Charleston and other cities. to pay
out silver ouic for the Uuited States?
that is, halves, quarters, diuic*, Ac, but
not dollar piceos?fur fractional currency. !
whenever t'>o latter is presented iu sum# '
of from 85 to $100. This will remind
one of the px>d old tiuies whivh som?? of
us can still remember, when silver coin*
?iho Mexican dollar, tho American
?lyllar, the pistnrccn, tho sevenp.-uiv, the
fonrpenee and tho dims wore as common
as the ragged "fractional" has hem.?
But will this new silver coin bo to u."
what it theu was ? Ala*, no ! The
recent cnarmotu increase in the pro luc
tion of siivcr iti Nevada. has already
reduced their value bc'ow that of paper
money, which may hope alver a while
to be made convertible with gold coin,
an J as new deposits aro just found in
Texas, promising to bo as rich and far
more extensive thau tho great Nova.I:
bonanza, we more safely assume that tin
further depreciation of silver will !*?
very rapid, so that wo should regard
this silver com as the unsafest of ail
money to harded.
Tho Printer s Dovil.
Tho printer's devil is as incorrigible
as his illustrious prototype, and plays
th*? mischief in that Kdcn of n poor
scribbler's vanities, his writings, ns ruth
lessly as tlio great apostle of the knowl
. dge of good and evil did in that more
blissful ubodo oft<ur undr.iped progeni
tors. We must therefore hoc our reas
ons. if any of them felt an inter.st in our
article on Hamlet, to allow for our devil's
alight.of-hutidat misprints, misspells &c.,
aud correct a lew of the grosser of them ;
as for instance : At the end of firs'
paragraph, read, all comers, instead ol
' all C' ieers," as printed. Towards the
last of third paragraph, read conn'.strut.
instead of "correct." In the quotation
read, insteadof in 'oven1!,' and,
in one rjrec/i, instead of ' his speech,"
In tho fourth parugraph, read : qui*t in
vincible courage, inst adol "quite invin
cible oourago ; and in the filth and lat>i
paragraph, read : hrrors of our literature,
instead of ''loaves" of our litenturc
and l*t'iHla</cnrt, instead of "l'lantagi
neta." Tho reader will find no difficulty
in correcting other errors which wo have
not uioiitioDid. We regret such errors,
and try to avoid them by writing with
invariable correctness, and a tolerably
plain chirogruphy. Hut notwithstanding
all this, wo dread these pranks of the
dovil when our regular proof-reader is
absent, us was tho ease last week.

A. T. Stewart remembered his old em
ployees in his will. Besides some spec
ial bequests, his wife has been instructed
to asoortain what employees wero with
Him for twonty years, to each of whom
sho is to giv> $1,000 and to givo 8500
-to each eiuplsyoe of ten years' standing.
As Mr. Stewart's employees numbered
several thousand, it will require n small
fortune to carry out bis instructions.
Mr. Stewart has LfY it wholly to Judge
Hilton, in conjunetion with Mrs. Stew
art, to dovote such portion of his fortune
to charitable and benevolent purposes as
bo may sec fit, in accordance with the
design of Mr. Stewart, as communicated
during his lifetitno to the .Judge. Judge
Hilton is left81,000,000 as n token of
Mr. Stewart's rcspcet and esteem. With
ibis exception and of minor legacies, the
fortune g? is to Mrs. Stewart.
