village on the Dayton Short-line about forty miles from this city Mr Harmon has somewhat of a history and his example if not his experience is worthy of emulation by all our boys His home is near Greeneviile Tennessee the residence of the late Andrew Johnson and he has lived there since his birth never having been further than seventy-five miles from home Possessed with a thirst for knowledge the young man had little opportunity on his mountain farm to satisfy his cravings but he took advantage of what little was offered him and studied the English branches a little Latin and algebra and then was at the end of his opportunities He wanted to go to college but there as no place he knew of in Tennessee where is means would him to go or rather because he had absolutely no means and there was no place for him to work his way through So Monday Oct 21 he left his mountain home with only $7 in his pocket and started afoot for Cincinnati the fame of whose educational institutions have gone even to the fastnesses of the hills The young man trudged along North until he came to the Southern Railroad where he spent his last cent for a ride which put him forty miles nearer his goal Then he had to leave the train and foot it the balance of the way Arriving here on Wednesday friendless 1 homeless moneyless but not hopeless lie Mttajreaterday to hear jhem met a gentleman to whom he told his story and he was given a half dollar which procured him bread and breakfast and yesterday he put a load of coal in a cellar which brought him little more money The gentleman who had first aided him gave hffn information as to various Colleges and a letter to Miami Valiev College in Warren county and laying the case before the Mayor his Honor furnished a pass to the young man to his final destination for which point he leaves this afternoon ready and willing to work hard with his muscle to furnish food for his brain The same energy that has pushed the young man out from the darkness of the mountains of Tennessee will lift him to a high jilace in his classes and the college authorities need have no fear that name will ever be anything to them but a name of honor Mr Harmon desires to become a Presby terian preacher and he will undoubtedly accomplish his most worthy purpose and he will be a working Christian In his personal appearance Mr Harmon is rather prepossessing with agood forehead honest eyes quiet gentlemanly manners and more snap than is usually found in the men born south of Mason and line We wish the Tennesseean all success and we recommend liis pluck and perseverance to the many young men of our own State who would do great things if they only had the chanoe Make the chance boys make the chance To the American: Chattanooga Nov 2 1878 The contest among

corn for a single man and two pecks for a family This with salt pepper and milk constitute thediel of the lower classes They have a beverage distilled from the root of the cactus of the variety known as the century plant The customs of the women are similar to that of ancient Palestine The women are seen packing water in jars 011 their head and all wear a shawl qnd when meeting a man they cover their faces with the exception of one eye Near Parral they saw A METEORITE weiging ten tons and on it was an inscription in Latin implying that only God in his power can destroy this iron as nothing the world can do it Between Parral and Santa Barbara they halted at a ranche where Alexander Humboldt and Bonpland the botanist bought a horse when passing through the country about 1803-04 Humboldt remarks in his travels across New Spain from the shores of the Pacific ocean to the West Indian seas that the conveyance of hi collection of herbal and equinoctial plants shells insects etc and the minute care they required occasioned him such embarrassments as would scarcely be conceived by those who have traversed the most uncultivated parts of Euroe His progress was often retarded by the threefold necessity of drafting ten twelve fifteen and sometimes more than twenty loaded mules exchanging these animals every eight or ten days and superintending the Indians who were employed in leading so numerous a caravan Often he adds that in order to add to his collections of new mineral substances they found themselves obliged to throw away others which they had collected a considerable time before The sacrifices were no less painful than the losses which were accidentally made Sad exerience taught them that from the sultry humidity of the climate and the frequent falls of the beasts of burden they could preserve neither the skins of animals so hastily prepared nor the fishes and reptiles placed in phials filled with alcohol On his return to Eagle pass about two weeks ago the professor saw about 400 Mexican soldiers who had just reached that place from the south lie heard a rumor of arrangements being made between the two governments for designating a certain portion of territory on both sides of the boundary line as neutral ground subject to military law but not much credit was attached to the rumor The professor has an interesting account of his itinerancy kept from day to day in note-book with drawings of the geological strata mountain peaks valleys churchc horses carts and many curious plants embracing a large variety of cactus plants: BOUT WITH BIK6LAR5

The messenger answered that he would lead the Captain to the place where the girl was stopping The Judge then sent Mrs Brown and Josephine Lane to the Central Office prison while he ordered Miss Green to be given in charge of Matron Webb jane story Miss Green said she had rapt Mrs Brown at the Central Hofei in Boston and by her had been induced to leave her home and with her friend Annie Davis agree to accompany her to Savannah Ga where they were to enter upon a professional life of shame in Mrs establishment It was a regular business transaction But the heart failed her in New York and she wanted to go home again Mrs Fanny Brown coolly informed the reporter that the girls were going with her for the purpose named but claimed that they had already fallen and had not been decoyed by her Miss Lane acknowledged that she was a cyprian and the friend of Mrs Brown making a tour of the New England States!

place in it is confined to its interior and there is no sniell from it nor any deterioration of the air in the apartment in which the lamp is burning There are other advantages claimed for this lamp besides the Indestructibility of the carbon pencil The resistance of each 'amp is always the same this is being due of course to the permanence of the carbon and the electrical current is therefore not interfered with The light does not flicker and will not go out of itself The current the inventor claims can be distributed with certainty to any extent and the light can be easily subdivided It is claimed that this is the only system ever devised which controls the distribution of electricity to different lamps apt this is due tp thp regularity of action of the lamps The light wijl burn under water and cinnot possibly set fire to anvthing Mr Sawyer in describing the apparatus omitted to call attention to one fact At the bottom of each lamp is a little bag evidently distended with some subgtance When flie World reporter asked him what this was Mr Sawyer said that the bag and its contents prevented materially the destruction of the carbon pencil although ni trogen was the chief agent to that end He declined to say however what was in the bag on the ground that as the invention was so recent other persons might take advantage of it if all of its parts wefe made known The practicability of this lanin is claimed to be beyond all question The' laqop itself is exceedingly cheap The cost of the light depends upon circumstances factories on steamboats and in places where steam-power already exists all that is necesary is the generator and the cost of production is nominal One small dynamo-electric machine will give at least thirty lights each of the power of ten candles with less than one-horse power and a machine three times larger will give nine times that illuminating powek- I is claimed that the distance to which the cleptricity is conducted is of no importance The machine may be in New York and the lamp in London Practically a radius of one mile from the central supplying stations to the lamps would be about proper My Sawyer suggested that in the event of Manhattan Jplctlf being supplied with light fjcoih tjhese' lamps there he ten stations along the North river and as many along the has? river Th-re would be two main wires in each gtypet ybiph copld be run over the housetops or under groqnp protected in tubeB The cost of the light tn thia-case would be about one-fortieth that of gas Iwg?

and five young girls whose ages range from 16 to 20 years Young Howard the medical student whose suicide was telegraphed to the Tribune yesterday was to have married to-day one of these girls who goes under the name of Lew White Opinion prevails that she in some manner was the real cause of the suicide and consequently great excitement lias grown up among the students who made an appointment to visit the house and either pull it or compel the woman to leave town Stones were thrown at the jiouse and windows broken when those inside who expected the raid fired his patriotism or the anxiety to prevent his participation in the duel At all events the son the stronger of the two boarded the train with seven others of the party Willingham surrendered his piste 1 and submitted to arrest One or two other of the party remained over with him Learning that arrangements were being made to arrest them at Dalton a message was sent back to Willingham that the parties who had gone on would stop off at Tilton and would expect them there Baker of party agreeing to take his place should the latter fail to come on the next train He came however and between 2 and 3 Uuh morning the entire party
