A Scene of Every-Day Life, From PetertoiCt Magazine for August. THE HODERN LAIAROS, . - BY i. THORtTTOS RANDOLPH. I. It was a hot, breathless, August day in New York. The hour was high noon. YeL,beneatk that vertical sun,a blind beggar sat asking alius by the way-eido. Ilia worn draw; lliottgh scrupulouslv clean, wtrayed the utinost poverty. His hand shook with ptilsy as lie m-.i t lortu nw tauerea straw hat Ur alms; On his bare J heaa, uud ou top. but with a few thin, grey hairs aroaiiJ the edges tlio vertical' sun poured down its fierce heat pttileasly. I oor olu man ! ' Suddenly a splendid equipigo drew tip to tho -side-walk, and a portly, pomjwus man de scended. Could the mendicant have seen that ', ho Would scarcely have ventured to so licit alios ; and now, when ho did, his extcud od hat was rudely rebuffed. " (Jet out of the way, get out of the way, Where's the police, I wonder,'1 cried the million aire, in a quick, testy voicc,riidcly pushing the old mendicant aside. . 3 An officer, who happened to be within hear ing, steppod immediately up, and wasrtbse qiiiousiloss itself, llo shook the beggar rough ly. . . " " Conic, bo moving," lio said. And obser ving that tho old .man hesitated, but whether from weakness, or to nrouso pity ho did not stop to inquire, ho gave him a push, adding, " otF with you at once !" The aged uieiiilicaut resisted no longor. Feel ing his way with his stick, he arose, and was soou lost to sight iu the hurrying crowds, which even on that summer day, poured ceaaelossly alon ; tho atreeU. Bui, as ho went, though hi tongue was si lent, his heart was-not.; llo thought, of his early life, when, hi a distant land, he had boci prosperous and happy, his hearth shared by a sympathizing wile, his board surrounded by lovely children. Then he recalled the mis fortunes which had driven him, iu his old ago, into exile; tho fever ship where his remain ing grand-children had died;, and , the -first day of utter beggiry, type of many a day since when ho had landed oil a foreign shore. As these things roso 'before him. , lie groaned, " how Kng, oh ! Lord, how loug." ' it. Jostled, and often almost overthrown, ttic mendicant had neverthetcss'suceeedod, at last, in advancing several squares. Uejfiadnow, reached a point whoro it became necessary U cross Rroadway, For some'timo ho hesitated, tho, ceaseless roll of vehicles disheartening him ; but fiivilly there was a lull, during which ho thought he might venture. llo had achieved about half tho distance, when a pair 'of proud, high stepping horses ap proached at a rapid rate. The liveried coach man, perceiving the beggar, 'drew partially in: Uut his imperious master, always impatient of delay, at this angrily spoke up. . ' "Drive on. drive ou," ho cried, sharply "'What business has (tie old fasa'dto be in the way. JIo'll jump m'iick enough when ho teal's you on top of him, ' ,Ho did jump quick enough too: but it was tlio wrong way. Catching tlie sound of Uie horses' hoofs, ho had turned his sightless eyes toward thcrh ; and then, for tho first timd, the coachman saw he was blind.

' Mr. Faraday, the great EngHsh electrician, has been experitneuting on table-turning, and has produced tie most satisfactory explanations of tho problem we have yet seen. ' The experi ments wero made' not, he savs, " that they were necessary on his owu account, for his. conclusion resjweting its u.-ituro was soon ar rived at and .has uot-.bcou ohangod" He publWsus the deUiis of his experiments at groat length in the yl,'.k;naw, but the follow ing brief stitemcnt ofhis plan of experimenting and its results is all our space will admit of: "Assuming that the tables were moved by a quasi involuntary muscular action of theojie rator, Faraday's lii-st point was to prevent the wind having any undue influence over the ef fects produced in relation to the nature of the substance employed. "A 'bundle of plates, consisting of sand-par per, mill-board, glue, glass, plastic, clay, tin toil, card-board, gutta-percha, vulcanized Tn-din-ruliber, Wood,' and resinous cement, was Uienforo tnalo up and tied together, and be ing placed on a table under tho hand of a tur ner, did not prevent tho transmission of the power; tho table turned, as before. Heucc uo objection could be taken to tho use of these substances in the construction of apparatus. The next point was todotermine the'placo and source of motion; that is to say, whether the table moved the hand or tho hand tho'tabjo. To ascertain thU indicators wero constructed. "One of these consisted of a light levcr,hav incr its fulcrum on the table, its short arm at tached to a pin fixed on a card-board, which could slip on the surface of tho t-iblo, and its long arm projecting as n uiuex ot ihouvhi. 11 is evident that it' tlio experimenter willed the table to move towards the left, Mid it did so move bffore tho hands placed at tlio. time on the card-board, then the index would move towards tho left, also the fulcrum going with t!ie table. If the hands involuntarily moved toward tho loft without tho tabic, the index would go toward tho right; and, if neither ta ble nor, hands moved, the index would itself remain immovable. "Tim result wius,that while the operator saw the index, it remained very steady;' when , it was hiden from them, or they looked away from it, it wavered about,though they believed that they al ways pressed ilirectly downward; and when tho tablo did not move there was still, uuwittingly, a resultant of hand forco- in the direction it was wanted to make tho table move. This resultant of hand forco increases as the fingers and, hand beconie stitf.numb, and insensible by iHmtiiiuodpressure.till it becomes an amount suflicient to move tlio table. "But tho most curious effect of this test ap paratus js the corrective power it possesses over the mind of the table-turner. As soon as the index is placed within view and the operator perceive that it tells truely whether he is press- ! I.. il l.- 1.. .,11 .' ing downwanls only or Obliquely, then all ef focts ot table turning cease, even tinmgti ttn the operator ersove're till he beoonoe weary ud word but. ' Mr, Faraday adds, ia bis let ter to the 'iwsjfroni which the above i ex tracted: 'Permit mo to say before concluding, thatl.hftve been greatly startled by the refla tion which this purely physical subject, his made of the public mind.

She had for her pro-rj tector. DiiDonchel. and took care to assure her-. self a snug fortune by his means, and perbaps with the aid of others. , She was reputed to U. seltish, and to be capable.of noyother loyo than that of money. The Count, therefore, deemed it necessary to make great sacrifices for success. He did. succeed but he had but a small income, although, as an only son, ho would at the death, of his mother, me in to the possession of an estate of four or five I millions. -,.. ... He commenced gambling iu stocks, and lost two hundred thousand.. francs, which, he met by negociablo notes. From that time he becamo-vcry gloomy, and Martha' more than onoc came to his relief for she had come to love him passionately the first pas sion of her life. But she loved him as Manon Lescant loved her Chevalier Desgrieux, and for, their common good had secretly renewed relations with her old and rich protector, the jeweller. The Count became aware of it just as she was about to' go on' a professional tour to Havana. At the same, time one of his notes' for55,000f. was about to fall.duc. He informed his mother of Iris situationj fold her that be regarded the debt as one o honor; and unless he could pay it, ha was firmly re solved to blow his brains out.; , ; . fc . The Countess .Camerata, "who is a strong minded woman and very self willcd--she once conceived Uie bold project of abdwtirig the ria ljouisa.1 ; a uui, m mv .mnwi) -- Court of Vienna paid little .attention to the. statement of her-son, who was of a soft and quiet cbiractery and had less the tastes of Uie soldier than the book-worm. She therefore replied to his threats of death by laughing at him, and set out to indulge iu her favorite sport of angling at her country seat in Brio, whither she took with her 200,000 francs, in tending to complete the payment of that pnr cbase. The nest day her son . blew out his brains, and an' hour afterwards some friend's hand sent him the sum ucoessary to meet his note but too late. '''.'' This fatal drama did not stop here. There was a second act not less touching than the first. Martha learnt at Havre the death of .her lover, and 'her heart. Which was supposed in sensible, was crushed. She came to Paris on the 8t!i, and betook herself ta.a notary,, where she made dispositions tor tho benefit of her sou,, five years old. In the evening she re ceived some friends, conversed tranquilly wi:h them, and. told hjr jeweller' that she intended the text day to set out for England. When he came next morning to bid her .adieu, he could find her neither iu the saloon nor in the bed chamber. the bed of which bad not been disturbed. His suspicions being aroused, ho forced open tlie door of her dressing-room. " and there by the side of a chafing dish of charcoal, he found her dead body. On a ta ble was a letter, saying she dud not survive the man she loved, and v ho had died for her. This little drama has excited tut immense sen sation in Park ,' THE CZAR'S MANIFESTO. Tlio Manifesto of Nicholas, Emperor. nnd Autocrat of all the Ktissi.is, Czar of Poland, etc., as published iu our paper of F.iday ccn tains tho following singular paragraph :. "My success would render the government lore ro,m;lr than at pro vjtl. pV, which is not 1 sent with the Museo- nartv. w hich is not attacneit to uie lor- mer by any aooil will." We have reason' to believe that this sentence, is an intcrpolatwn, innsuuich as-we d not find it in anv coir of the Manit'sto that lias vet met our eve. excel that published in tliolial-1 timore Sun, and transl'cred from that puper'to our columns. If Nicholas did really make tlie -.official decl.m-ti.ins, thus attributed to him, it must unquestionably be regarded as the mast remarkable ono -that ever emanated from the Head of the Russian ini)ire. . Never before. wo. venture to say, did an Autocrat of all the Russias tiike the' trouble to "iiitWm' .-ill people.'' that there was a party in his .dominions not uttachetl to his government by any good will, or 'admit that he' looked to "popular:!" in shaping his public policy. It is hardly credi ble that this allusion to parties in Ku.ia, an allusion so little in coiisciiiiuce with the haugh ty nnd al'Sotuto character of government, should ever have been put forth to the world in an otlicinl paper under the signature of the monarch. . Tho Czar having decreed the invasion of tlie Turkish territory, and having put that decree in execution, the question now-arises, what will the-Sult:m, or rather what will France and England do? The Imdon Times has "an article ou tho Czar's manifesto which leaves us still in doubt as to tho course which Eng land will pursue. It says; , As the' ca.ie stands, the public sense of nar tional honor, deeply pledged for the preserva tion of Turkey; puts hesitatl(jnt6f the ques tion.
