ad forehead. A black moustache was plainly seen and also the direction of the eyes, which seemed to be looking at some object sidewise. One of the eyes was as clearly seen as the eyes in a common ambrotype or genotype. Mr. Adams is continuing his experiments; but whether he will succeed in making any clearer developments remains to be seen.--His labors thus far are abundantly rewarded by the success which has attended his efforts, as it seems to us he has demonstrated that an object was pictured upon the eye of Mr. Herke at the time of his death, and that the object was a human face. Similar experiments, we are informed, have been made in France with great success, and mysterious murders unravelled through the instrumentality of Daguerre's wonderful art. Notwithstanding we had heard of these strange things, we were still under the impression that "dead men tell no tales." until a recent experiment has shaken our faith and almost convinced us that dead men may yet speak.

An attempt to discover a murderer by photography. --The Evansville (Ind.) Journal gives the following account of an attempt to discover a murderer by photography: A few days since Mr. Adams, a photographies of this city, at the solicitation of some gentlemen who had read of similar experiments in France, took his instrument and visited the scene of the late murder in German township. This was some thirty hours after the murdered man had breathed his last. There was a great deal of dust flying and a great crowd collected, which materially interfered with the success of the experiment, but notwithstanding unfavorable circumstances, Mr. Adams succeeded in taking a tolerably fair "negative." Upon this he has been experimenting, and we were called on to witness the result of his experiment. He had taken an ambrotype picture of the eye of the deceased, and then rubbing out everything but a single object apparently in the centre of the eye, this was placed under an ordinar

Last Moments of the late Gen. John B. Floyd. The Bristol Advocate publishes the remarks of the Rev. E. E. Wexter, of the Holston (M. E.) Conference, who was the officiating clergyman at the funeral of General Floyd. We make the following extracts: I was summoned by telegraph to attend at his bedside, and reached him four days before his death. I found him calm and peaceful — his mind as clear and his judgment as sound as ever in his life. He took me by the hand, telling me he coulGeneral Floyd. We make the following extracts: I was summoned by telegraph to attend at his bedside, and reached him four days before his death. I found him calm and peaceful — his mind as clear and his judgment as sound as ever in his life. He took me by the hand, telling me he could not survive more than a few days. He spoke of his religious feelings and prospects in the most beautiful and satisfactory manner. I wish I could recall his language, but can do so only very imperfectly. He said he was not afraid to die, that he had the strongest assurance of his acceptance with his Makeal. He felt that he was a sinner, and that his only hope was in the infinite mercy of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. As he spoke of the goodness of God his heart seemed to glow with gr
