Is said tliat some of the best service done wrfilG lie was in and was performed by ladies, ^ally whew social diplomacy was Isluef"weapon to be employed. Jit® of th6se was sent from Virginia Washington in 1862, to obtain if Itiie the roster of McClellan's army dcuch other information as might in- the plans of the general with nee to an advance on Centerville. Was amply provided with means, .ably performed the mission. When returned it was by the way of the itotnae, opposite, Dumfries, Va., an Gen. with liis own Hampton legion. Tuat f;allant Soldier at once forwarded the air spy to Beauregard whose head­ quarters were at Centerville. Her ||fe leggege consisted only oil a pet Skye |k: terrier and a small gripsack. On [3 arriving she was ushered into the pb ^presence of the general, and with true Vij::womanly volubility proceeded to enter­ ed ( „ tain him with a description of her tV" adventures and their result Beaure- f' \ gard allowed the lingual freshet to flow |rf on naturally supposing that when she got ti red she would produce the dis- Hff .patches. But the little woman's tongue was hung in the middle and t/,'> wagged at both ends, and. moreover, she was too pretty to, be silenced ; abruptly. Finally, the general, un- Jjf-' able to restrain his anxiety any longer, said: "Mrs. M., where are your ® papers?" "Why, general, I've been trying to tell you the news already. , Don't you see it wouldn't have been !v » «afe to bring important papers \>n my . person, and so I familiarized myself jg^ with their contents. This fact is that Ik I have been suspected and searched p already, so that its lucky I've a good ^ 4 memorv." Beauregard, now unable to jg' * conceal his chagrin, frankly told the pi ^ la«ly he was grievously disappointed, having waited for tne dispatches for a | long time and could place but little re- p; ^ ' liance on a memory of so many figures 11?.. and details. Therefore her mission fc' *, had proved of little use. She listened , to his scoldings with. a demure air, and when he had finished looked at him with a mischievous twinkle in her pfK eye, and called to her dog: "Here, ^ Floy!" The Skye-terrier jumped in her r4 lap. "General/ have you a knife about youP" The knife was produced. |ity* Then she turned the animal over on p; . his back, aud to the amazement of K Beauregard deliberately proceed to rip him open. In less time than it takes M'.- to tell it she held in one hand the /precious papers and in the other the skin of her Skye terrior, while pranc­ ing about the floor was a diminutive black and tan pup, overjoyed at his relief from an extra cuticle. This shrewd woman had sewed her dis­ patches between the two skins in a manner that defied detection, and tinder the very noses of the federal Tidettes had carried some of the 'BBOSt important information trans­ mitted during the war. It is needless to say that Beauregard was delighted, and It was but a littie while after this inci­ dent that McClellan advanced on Cei\- terville, only to find deserted camps, batteries of "Quaker guns," and the confederate army falling back toward Richmond and Yorktown. Between the dog and pretty woman the general had got the "tip. Js it a wonder that he is a devotee of the fair sex?- m iSS':-',' Indiana is proud of her new State Capitol because it cost $2,000,000 and looks good enough to be worth $500,- $#0,000--according to home estimate. ~ Ttie Vynamograpb. , as LOCKE'S In addition to our usual stork of Goods, wo have ndtiod a full line of •• • „ M Rkk«T7 G R O C E R I E S To wliicb invite attention.

A correspondent of the Baltimore fl«n thus describes the electric type­ writer. which promises to rival to sonie extent the telephone. The in­ strument in appearance somewhat re­ sembles an ordinary mechanical type­ writer. It has a key board, and the types are placed on steel bars, which play upon a common center, as is the case with the type-writer. The mo­ tive power used , is electricity, by means of which evenness of action is iiuMfieed. No matter how heavily or fcwr lightly the keys f re struck, the Impression on the paper is the same. A remarkable feature of the invention used as a type-writer is that the car­ riage moves automatically both for­ ward and backward. When the end of the line is reached the carriage re­ turns to the starting point without the aid of the operator, and the paper bar moves one notch, so that all that is required of the operator is to depress the keys. The most important field for tbe new invention is said to be in connection with the telegraph. It is said at the patent office that the in­ strument can be used both as a trans­ mitter and receiver of intelligence over a single wire, no matter how great the difference may be. The re­ ceiving instrument does not require the attendance of an operator, but ?rints the dispatch automatically, 'he instruments at both ends of the line print the dispatch sent, and BO a safeguard against mistakes is pro­ vided. It Is claimed that the electric type-writer will be valuable as a local aid to business, and offers many ad­ vantages over the telephone. One ad­ vantage claimed for it is that, no mat­ ter whether a person called up is at his vlace of business or not, the mes­ sage can be printed through the me­ dium of his type-writer, and will be there for perusal on his return. The dispatches printed are in letter form, $oty&n endless tape. The in$tru- ' which has been christened the jraph, is considered by patent eials to be one of the greatest >ns upon which <|>atents have issued. The electricians do not t their praise, aud are positive the machine will greatly .simplify ness intercommunication. James L. Hutchinson, Barn urn's lormer partner, has purchased the jtm yacht Ladiga, formerly owned • General George S.
