Ecston Hemic Sii- u,d there be any debating societies yet in existence which iireft r the discussicm of abstracr problems to vehement disputations on the burning qut-stions ofthft hour, there might lie uropounded to them as an instructive subject for examination, whether Dr. June maun, a more or less distinguished pro css:.r of chemistry in Austri t, w .10 lias just made pubMc what ho th:oks to be a wonder! ul discovery slitmld be considered p. u implacable, foe of his species or a philanths -pist of a most benefit ent ordci. Tde doctor, siys the Loodon Tc!:. oraph, claims to have invented i iii'id of fearfully destructive pr-i-pert'es. This fluid when brought into contact with the air after tf-s explosion of a shell in which it has been contained., is transformed into a gas which, Leing heavier than the atmosphere air, falls by i .s own density to the ground, killing all man and animals witLin. its reach, aiid moreover, destroying iron, orouze and ot ler metals as well as setting all inflamniabla tilings on fire. The learned doctor states, in a letter to a Viennese newspaper, that so far back as 1S4S, he offered his inventions to tiie Austrian war office, which,how- ever, both tlien ana on a subs: queut ocasion, declined to experi mentalize with the Juuemanu homicidal vapors. It can well be imagined that in the fateful year '48, Princs Windischgratz, Field Marshal Haynau and Jellachich baue of Croatia, had quite enough to do in the way of shooting down and bayoneting insurgent mob", without being troubled with Dr. Junmaun and his pestiferous odors indeed, the doctor may think him self lucky ifhe escaped being shut up in his own laboratory by the uncompromising Haynau, and stifled with the noisome gases which he had himself prepared. The ;raii32Wcuioirs. New Yotk Tribune. I n:td a ciiat the other day with Colonel Frederick D. Grant conceru :cg the result of the publication of General Graut's "Memoirs." The total amount received by Mrs. Grrut up to the present time as her share in the profits has been $411,000, "and 310,000 sets of J;he . work, haveibeen. sold. But for the'rascaTfty of afev agents and large purchasers, Mrs. ' Graut's share oi the profits would hive been -450,000. One man who bought 30,000 worth of the books failed in business and effected a settlement with his creditors at 10 cents ou the dollar. Another pur chaser of 20,000 sets has been dilatory in hi3 payments, and great difficulty is experienced in briuging him to a sett eineufc. The sale of the "Memoirs" continues steadily, hue only a small iucome is derived from that source at present, as most of the sales accrue to the agents who took large numbers of the work, and still have copies on hand from which to supply purchasers.. It will be a year" or two before the sales again become large enough to make any consider able income to Mrs. Gra..t. Russia's Canal Project. Vienna Correspondence London Telegraph. The project of uniting the Sea .of Azov with the Black Sea is about to receive a practical solution. It is .understood that a company, working with a French capital to the extent of 85.000.000 francs, is only waiting for the sanction of the Russian Gov ernment to commence operations.

The canal will specially benefit the -southeastern border dis tricts, which produce again, salt, minerals, and fuel n abundance. Kitted by a Rattlesnake. Cincinnati Enquirer. A few days at;o A. A. Crumbley of Randolph county, - Ga., was at work ou his farm when he heard a dog which always followed him bark ing furiously in a skirt of woods near by. In a few mimutes the dog howled and ran to him. Just below the dog's eyes were two drops of blood abcut three-fourths of ?n in2h apart.
