S BY TELECRAPH,

Serer Yellow Fever. ; New York, Oct. 1.

There were fifty-seven deaths from yellow fever in New Orleans yesterday, and only twenty-four in Memphis.

A New Orleans special says that the train which arrived on Saturday night from Belioxi was crowded with refugees from watering- places. On the way, before it got to Rigolets, the discovery was made that the fever had broken out, and before New Orleans was reached there were 103 cases on the train. Speed was slackened from Rigolets to this point, so that instead of arriving at 9.30, as ue, it did not get in until near midnight. The scene beggared description; men, women and children being stretched on seats, some in (lelirium and others in agony of fear.

The Afghanistan Trouble.

Panis, Oct. 1.

Private advices are to the effect that in- timations have been made to England of Russia’s intention to immediately recall her mission to Afghanistan. The advices that the British Charge d’ Affaires at St. Peters- burg presented to the Imperial Chancellor a note, inquiring in what way Russia pro- posed to reconcile General Stobeleff’s mis- sion to Cabul with its previous engagements, by which Russia agreed to renounce all political influence in Afghanistan. °

Europe.

Lonpon, Oct. L.

A Vienna despatch says the Government’s embarrassment is extreme. ‘The Hungarian Ministers declare that they cannot provide the money required, as Hungary’s contingent of the expenses of Bosnian occupation until the meeting of the delegates. Andrassy desires to reduce the expenses by withdrawing a great part of the army from Bosnia, but the military oppose this measure.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 1.

Safvet Pasha, Grand Vizier and Minister of Foreign Affairs, has sent a circular to the Powers calling attention to the fact that the Greek Government, on the authority of a re port from its Consuls in Thessaly and Epirus, charges the Porte with st‘rring up the fanatic- ism of the Albanias against Greece and pro- viding them with arms.

Saivet Pasha declares that these assertions are caluinnies communicate to the Cabinets by Greece, for the purpose of justifying her military preparations, which are really a di- rect threat of aggression against the Ottoman Empire. He states that Greece is preparing to place in the field within a month an army af 40,000 men, with a reserve of 35,000. This fact, conjointly with large orders for supplies aud a loan of $10,000,000, leaves no doubt of the aggressive intentions of Greece.

Correspondence.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sirn,—In Wednesday’s Patriot 1 notice a very wailing production signed ‘‘A Farmer,” and headed ‘“‘No Farmer Need Apply.” The writer is troubled that Mr. Sinclair, a farmer, was rejected in the late Dominion contest, and Mr. Pope, a brewer, shipbuilder and mer- chant, levied in his stead. With all due re- gard for ‘‘Farmer’s” feelings, I shall state that Mr. Pope has done more for the farming in- terests, and is himself better entitled to be called a farmer than Mr. Peter Sinclair.

Again, whom do the so-called Liberals bring out as Provincial Secretary and ‘Treasurer ? Purely a merchant, Mr. Thomas Dodd. On the other hand the Conservatives bring out Mr. Henry Longworth, one of the leading farmers and stock raisers on the Island. ‘‘Farmer” should master facts before sitting down to write.

The Jewish New Year.

On Friday evening, with the setting sun, the new year 5639, according to the Jewish calendar, began. This is the civil year ; the ecclesiastical year* was commenced a year ago. The new year is introduced by the feast of Rosh Hashana, a day of prayer, feasting and rejoicing. It is the Anniver- sary, as it were, of the creation of the world. Then follow the Ten Penitential Days which intervene between New Year's Day and the Day of Atonement. These ten days are observed with much so- lemnity, no marriages take place during them, and no festivities of any kind ‘are allowed in the stricter Jewish fami- lies. Where they can do it, as in large |cities, the pious Jews attend Synagogue | every day during this feast, and in many places where Jews are living in boarding houses and hotels not kept by their own creed, they go for the timeto some Jewish ‘friends house. The Sabbath between the feast and tenth day is particularly observ- ed. The Penitential Days culminate in the | Day of Atonement—Yom Kippur. The | feast commences at sundown the previous , evening and continues until sun-down the ‘following day. The Jews abstain from all manner of food, and not even a drop of water must be touched, so strict is the ob- servance. The services in the synagogue are of the most impressive character. The day (is set apart for the repentance of ‘sins; asolomn feast is decreed; and for- giveness is held out to all who are earnest in their repentance and contrition. Both

| orthodox and ‘“‘reformed” Jews observe

these festivals, with a ritual that is three thousand years old. In New York, where there are ninety thousand Jews, the ob- servance of this festival is most marked. In Montreal, too, business is almost wholly suspended in the Jewish community this week. In St. John the number of Jews is comparatively small, but they have ob- served the feast of the ‘‘Rosh Hashana” with the best means at their command. They celebrated the festival on Saturday and yesterday with prayer meetings at the house of Mr. Greenberg, a respected mem- ber of the community. They will kee the day of Atonement on Monday, the th of October.

Another Extraordinary Discovery.

It is said that William Wallace, Ansonia, Conn., lias discovered a means of transmit- ting mechanical power by means of clec- tricity ; that he now so transmits the pow- er of the Nangatuck River and by it drives the machinery in a factory in which 200 men arc employed. The New York Sua describes the manner in which the electric- ity is produced and applied, as follows :—

‘In this instrument the electricity is pro- duced by the Wallace dynam-electric machine, no battery being used. Four large electro- magnets are placed with their poles facing each other. On an axis parallel with and sit. uated between them is a disc of iron, carrying upon its opposite faces a row of electro-mag- nets, thirty in number, on each face, whose poles, facing outward, revolve as close as pos- sible to the poles of the large magnets, called the field of force. On the same axis, but out- side of these discs, strips of copper are placed equal in number to the magnets on the dise, each strip of copper being connected to one end of the wire on the magnet. The other end of the wire goes to the next strip, Each strip, therefore, 1s connected to the last end of the coils, and to the first end of that im- mediately following it. When the disc, with its magnets, is revolved by any power, the weak magnetism remaining in the iron itseif generates a current of electricity in the wire surrounding these magnets. In virtue of the principal discovered by Faraday, that when- ever a conducting wire is moved in the vicinity of a magnet, a current of electricity is caused to circulate in that wire, the feeble current thus generated flows around the magnets of the field of force, increasing their magnetism, This increased magnetism reacts upon the revolv- ing magnets, increases the electric current, and so alternately, until the magnetism at- tains a maximum and that maximum is gener- ated in the wires of the revolving magnets. This current bears for each a perfectly deti- nite ratio to the power consumed, and they are capable of converting 80 per cent. of the power applied into electricity. The electric current generated is carried by two copper wires toa second machine, the telemachon, This effects the reverse operation —that is to say, the reconversion of the electricity into mechanical power. The telemachon consists of a field of force and a revolving armature. This field of force consists of twelve large elec- tro-magnets in two sets of six each, the poles of each set facing each other and connected In the space enclosed by these magnets, and parallel with them, is the armature axis supporting an armature consisting of a ring of iron wire serv- ing as a core, around which is wound an insu- lated copper wire in two series of fifty coils. The ends of these wires comes out alternately to the right and left of the amature, and are connected with two break pieces upon their axes. Six springs. or brushes of copper wire, press upon these break pieces, each pair oi brushes facing each other and opposite a pair of magnets, in the field of force. The electric current entering the machine passes round the field of force and magnetizes the magnets. At the same time it passes through the armature, magnetiziug that, so that the poles of the ar- mature nearest to the poles ot the field mag- nets are of the opposite name. In consequence of this the field of force magnets attract the poles of the armature and causes the ar- mature to move. But the motion in its new position brings other portions of the break pieces in contact with the spring and causes the redistribution of the magnetism. Again, attraction takes place as before, and again the direction of the current is changed by break- ing pieces. The magnificent effect’ being con- tinuous, the rotation is continuous, increasing constantly in speed until the friction and the magnetic poper balance each other.

Prof. Edison, who has seen the machine, and witnessed its operation, is very sanguine that it will virtually revolutionize machinery for the transmission of mechanical power. Take any fall of water; by means of shafting this power can be used to turn the machine generating the electric current. This current can then be conveyed any distance by copper rod conductors, At any point where needed these rods can be trapped, and wires carried into factories, just as gas is carried in pipes through the streets. In the factory a telema- chon properly placed will distribute the elec- tric power and drive the machinery. In the Rocky Mountains Edison saw miners drilling by hand, and the query came to him why the power of the Platte River on the plain a thou- sand feet below could not be transmitted to them by means of electricity. He pondered over this problem much on his way home, only to find that the invention to effect such a trausmission had been made by Mr. Wallace. It seems as if a great step had been taken in the application of electricity to mechanical

purposes, one which will play a s

in the manufacturing interests of the future, The electricity from the telemachon may also be applied to illumination. The Wallace foundry 1s lighted by this means much bettcr than could be done by gas. It looks as\jf Mr. Wallace, in two important particular, hed laid mankind under lasting obligations.
