Oar separation was uot painful, as neilber of us anticipated the roubled limes Ibal were to follow. Al Bull Kun 1 was shot aud left for dead on tbe natileSeld, but afterward recovered aud was captured by rebels aud sent to Auder- ouville. For eighteen months I lived in that wretched place, suffering uutold mental torture. Early in IMliK 1 was ex- cuangad, and, being unfit for further service, was sent borne.

Telegram I A discovery tbat is destined 10 revolu- tionize tbe present method of photo- litbograpby has been made by Mr. lido Kamedell, of tbis city. " Tbe uew inven- tion." said Mr. Clark liowell, Aoientiflo editor of the C'oiuttfud'on, will introduce into Ihe art of printing posmbilies uever yet dreamed ol." Tbe discovery is tbe result if several mouths' of patient study and txptrimentiog ; it is wonderfully simple, aud tbe results attained are positively marvellous. In the preteuoe of a small company of journalists, especially invited to test the invention. Mr. Kauisdell exhibited Ibe entire process wbioh be bas perfected. A tine steel 'engraving, tbe froutn-pieoe m one of tbe leading magazine*, was selected as tbe pfo'.ure to be reproduced. The efleots ot light and shade were especially delicate, and it was thought the new prccem might fail to bring these out in tbeir original per- fection. Tbe experts looked at their watches it lacked three minutes of 1 o'clock. Mr. Kamsdell slipped off bit coat, rolled up bis sleeves, aud at the given sigittl tbe engraving was torn quickly aud dexterously from tbe book and plunged into a big batii," the ingredi- ents of which at present remain a pro- found secret. Iu nine seconds it was re- moved, plaoed iu a large piece of glass, aud a printer's gelatine roller, covered with or- dinary printer's ink, waa passed over it a few times. Tbe paper was tben lifted from the smooth glass surfaoe and placid npou she lithographing stone aud the " impres- sion " was made. The aotdii were aj plied, the stoue was completed in a few seconds, and after a moment's adjustment of tbe machinery tbe press began throwing off Ibe tiinilt-. The experts looked at their watches again it was oue minute after 1. Tbe enlire process bad been success- fully accomplished in just four minute*. Tbe process is so exceedingly simple tbat any boy of fourteen oau do all tbe work just as well as an expert photo-lithographer could do it. Mr. Kamsdell bss hied au application for letters patent, and ban organized a company of wealthy Allauls, capitalists to push the introduction of. tbe invention. Several pictures tbat were mads by what is kuown as tbe " artotype process " were substquenlly reproduced by Mr Ramsdell witb eooh suooess Ibat a competent judge could nol tell the original from the oopy. As tbe original i uot in any way injured by Mr. Kamsdell's method, it will be possibls by tbis process to accurately reproduce any of tbe are engravings and etchings thai are now a-daysso highly prizsd by collectors, and people of moderate means, as well M the wealthy will be able to purchase Bay- den's and Wbistlers without parting with iheir "bottom dollar." Auotber great ad- vantage claimed by tbe inventor is tbat be can make z.no and other metal plates of various kiuds aud be ready to print from them as quickly as from ibe stone. Tbis will be much cheaper than to use lilho- grapbmg stone, which ia expensive. After Ibe zinc and metal plates have been used they oau be cleansed iu a obemioal batb sud be used sgaiu any number of times. Fac-similes of au entire newspaper can be made m ten minutes, while the most deli- cate work, as well as tbe coarsest, will be reproduced witb equal fidelity. 'eoeived tor wool aud wheat.
