Frederick could no longer pretend ignorance
f her -conduct. Nothing but vengeance re
mained, and the continued imprudence of
Trenck poon furnished the monarch with, the
opportunity! which he was not slow to im
prove. Trenok was suddenly seized, aud led
off to a.dungeon of one of the Prussian for
tresses, where he Buffered that long incarcera
tion whose dreadful story has been told so
pathetically, and is so familiar to the world.
After Buffering along imprisonment, the King
released him, giving him a suit of mean clothes
and eoine money, strictly enjoining upon hira
the necessity of leaving Prussia. After Frede
rick the Great's death, Trenck obtained per
mission from the new monarch to visit Prus
sia, for the purpose of gathering up the wreck
of his paternal fortune. On arriving at Berlin,
it may easily be imagined that his first aud
most earnest desire would be to visit the lady
who had leen the source of all his misfor
tunes. Alas! what language could describe
that interview ! It lasted for several hours,
and was consecrated to mutual tears. The
past, the present, and the future were dis
cussed without any alleviation to their matual
Borrows. What perplexities, what griefs were
theirs!
Trenck, with his hair prematurely grey, his
body curved with the weight of sixty pounds of
iron, which for ten years had hung suspended
from it, his features changed by grief this,
then, was the man who, iu his youth, was so
remarkable for manly beauty, aud whose image

other hand, beheld in her for whom he had

and shaking with the palsy; a form that tot
tered wltu feebleness, joined to limbs that,
mrougn contortion and disease, were scarce
able to perform their office. How, iu bo
altered a being, was he to trace the once loved
object of his affection 1 How, in the accents
of affection, the cold, unfeeling traiu of reason
jng, of desperation, and mistrust that now
escaped her, was he to recognize the tones by
which he was once enamored f How, iu the
illiberal spirit iu which she now judged of
men and things, could he be reminded of the
rich Bailies of wit that had so often gratified
his undei standing ? Where were now the im
petuosity of youthful gayety aud the illumina
tion of her magic 1 Eich now finds iu the
Other a bhrunk and emaciated form.
In this moment of trial, the resolution of
Amelic proved mperior to the courage of
Trenck. She so conducted the interview as to
make it Serve the purpose of diverting, for the
time, their mutual sorrows. She inquired
particularly after his situation, aud as to the
nature of his present resources and future
hopes, and offered him pecuniary assistance,
Tnhicb he accepted. In this spirit they sepa
rated, to Bee each other no more in this world.
Trenck married shortly after, and of this mar
riage the following very interesting anecdote
is told. It was during a brief residence at Aix
la Cuapelle that he made the acquaintance of
a baron, who was burgomaster of the town,
and had several daughters. Trenck fell in
love with the youngest, about eighteen, ex
ceedingly pretty aud amiable. He demanded
and obtained her in marriage. A gayety of
temper natural to the lady having, however,
occasioned some censures to be passed on her
conduct, her husband, on the evening of their
marriage, gave a striking preof of his origi
nality ol character. When every one had re
tired to rest, and the bride and bridegroom
had entered their apartment, the latter locked
the door, took up a pistol, and said: "I am
aoqnainted, madame, with the reports that
have been circulated respecting your repu
... '.!, but just I should be acquainted
ilBo J7wVa7 these report
therefore, choose whether you will
make me a generous confession, or perish, by
my hand." The poor bride, confused and
trembling, wept, lamented, and implored the
pity and forbearance of her husband; but in
Tain. Ue was inexorable, and to her prayers
to epare her life, only answered: "Let me
have a generous oonfession, with no omissions,
xto reservations, or receive your death at my
hands." He persevered so absolutely that
Bhe was at length obliged to enter on the con
fession required. When she had confessed all,
Trenck, laying down his pistol, said to hen
'Madame, you re ignorant of my true
character; if you had known it, you would
have entered into no engagement with me;
consequently, I should aot Uavo h entitled
to the avowal now made me. As this i the
case, 1 have no reproach to m&ke, nor will I
Bpbraidyou for what has passed. What I
Wished lor, was to try if you were capable of
telling the truth. This experiment has atforded
me convincing proof of your veracity, aud l
amsatitfied. Now that I know you are pos
essed of sincerity and ingeuuousneaa of heart,
in the. fulness of mine I promise you the
tendere'et. the Binoerest affection."
The lady was delighted, and they lived hap.
pily together, Blie bearing mm many ouuaren.
JJutinan evil hour for himself, his restless
piiit drew him towards Paris, just at the time
the Reign of Terror was at its height. It was
ot long before the bloodhounds of the Con
ventiou were upon his track; and one bright
uuunier afternoon the prisoner of Madgebourg,
the lover of Amelia, found himself in' the
resting tumbril that was hurrying a few
more unfortunates to the guillotine. His
fortitude and endurance, tried so often, did
sot desert him. He epoke words of good
cheer to his companions in misery; he
yked with the railing crowd that accompanied
taa. doomed, to their place of puAhjluueut; ha
even hummed a merry song as he viewed me
terribly exciting soene wltu inaiuerenoe. ar
rived t the Bcnffold, he ran np the stairs with
the vigor of Btep belonging to youth; and, as
the heavy sweep of the crimson axe crushed
through his neck, aud his head, with its long
gray hair, fell Into the basket, one of the
spectators cried out, "See how deOant it
looks I"
Thus perished the prisoner of Madgebourg.
NTEREST1KG EXPERIMENTS IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Photographing Colors Photo - Itellef
engraving.
At the meeting of the Lyceum of Natural
History the President gave an account of a
vibit he had made duriug the summer to the
workshop and studio of Niepce de St. Victor,
the celebrated discoverer of the art of photo
graphing in colors directly from nature. He
found the artist In one or those mysterious
galleries of the Louvre where officers of the
Government attached to the Imperial house
hold are provided with quarters, and are
allowed leisure to cultivate some branch of
art to which the associations of the place and
the rich treasures stored below may inspire
them.
M. Niepce was very polite and communica
tive. There was no attempt to disguise his
processes, but, on the contrary, he seemed
anxious to impart all the information he was
possessed or, in order to encourage others to
take up the research and prosecute it to a suc
cessful termination. His investigations into
the effects of light upon various sensitive
chemical agents were carried on in laboratories
overlooking the noisy and thronged Kue de
kivoli. 1 here were all of the usual accesso
ries of a photographic gallery dark closets,
sinks, tables, curtains, screens, shaded
windows, chemicals, aud the odor of iodine
which always prevails iu such a place.
J he objects selected lor testing the power of
light to transfer color were complicated pat
terns and designs, such as are used bv the
calico-printer or for wall paper, and beautiful
French dolls, dressed Iu all the colors ot the
rainbow, with plate jewelry and rich silks, so
as to make a fair trial of the process.
M. INiepce had succeeded in photographing
a doll Btereographically, bo that it stood out iu
relief under the stereoscope with all of the
colors, the blue, red, green, white, and black,
equally sharp and distinct. He was kind
enough to present to his visitor two specimens
of photographs of highly colored wall patterns,
which the President exhibited to the members
of the society, and which attracted great
attention.
The process pursued by Niepce i3 essen
tially the same as that suggested by Becque-
rel and 1'oitevin. It is, in fact, the old da
guerreotype process with a few modifications.
The silver plate is rendered sensitive by being
placed in a bath of some hypochlorite. The
thin lilm of chloride of silver which forms on
the surface is partly fuped before the exposure
is made. After the first exposure it is heated
and once more put into the camera. Such a
method would be highly fatiguing for a living
subject, but immaterial for an inanimate one.
There are teohnical precautions to be ob
served, the details of which are given in the
published articles of Niepce.
There would appear to be no doubt about
tho possibility of photographing colors. The
specimens exhibited were conclusive on that
point. But now comes the unfavorable Bide of
the picture they will not keep; they fade like
the rose. The beautiful stereograph of the
doll would fade out entirely in a few hours in
the direct sunlight, or in a few days iu tho
suffused light of a room. All efforts to fix
the colors have been unavailing. The lixing
nceixt is vet to be discovered, nut when we
recall the long years of patient research on the
pait of Daguerre and tho elder Niepce, before
they eucceeded in iixiug the image on the
silver plate, we can take courage and confi
dently anticipate the linal success of this
branch of art.
Proiessur Charles A. Seely remarked upon
tho great beauty of the specimens exhibited
by the Chairman, and stated that they were
superior to any lie had ever seen, an 1 indi
cated a decided improvement upon the earlier
pictures by M. Niepce. Profossor Seely spoke
of the labors of Becquerel in the same direc
tion, and was disposed to give him the credit
for having originated the method since em
ployed by photographers in colors, lie also
stated that colored pictures had been taken in
tbis country ten or hiteen years ago by a Mr.
Hill. They could not, however, be fixed, anl
the further prosecution of the art had been
suspended since the death of the inventor.
Mr. Hill wrote a considerable volume on
heliochromio pictures, which was sold at a
high price, but is now out of print. There
was at one time considerable talk of securing
an appropriation from Congress to enable Mr.
Hill to carry on his researches, but no success
attended the movement. Mr. Cameron, of
vmo, aiso puuusnea articles on color pictures
in Humphrey e Journal of J 'holography. There
seems to be no doubt that colors can be pho
tographed, or rather daguerreotypod; but how
to fix them has not yet been discovered.
The President also exhibited a very fine
specimen of photo-relief engraving, which he
had received from the Inventor, Mr. Wood
bury, whom he found engaged in perfecting
his process in Pari3. By this method an ordi
nary negative is taken; of this a eelatine conv
is made, which is transferred to soft metal type
inr means il ;errni Ii"!!? jresa, .
du-y i3 thus formed which affords the printing
surface. The ink is a solution of gelatine,
properly colored; this U poured hot upon the
surface of the plate, and a piece of paper is
gently pressed upon it. After the gelatine
seta it adheres to the paper and forms the pio
ture. - The picture is a cast of the metallic
diy, but is bo thin that it is impossible to
feel or Bee the relief. Plaster casts of tho pic
tures formed ou the metallio plates were also
exhibited. These casts could be electrotyped.
and thus the most delicate microscopical sub
jects could be printed, or, in fact, any object
can be copied.
Mr. oodbury's procoss differs somewhat
from the photo-lithographic method pursued
by Mr. Osborne, though both use the action of
light upon gelatine mixed with bichromate of
potash, iu the one case we nave metaiuo
plates, and in the other stone for the printing
surface. Both of these methods are capable of
extensive application, aud ought to be better
understood by the publishers of Illustrated
books and magazines. Some very Hue micro,
photographs taken by Mr, Arnold were ex
hibited to the society. '

Signboard Literature In Karops,
From an amusing and instructive article in
Once a Week we extract the following pleasant
sketch of the curiosities of signboard litera
ture and tradition in many parts of Europe
outside of England. The writer remarks that
to see the elden sign In all its glory, one must
seek those countries that have not moved for
ward as fast as Great Britain, but still keep to
many of the customs of their ancestors.
"men in Paris, many trades and professions
Btm make their whereabouts known by sicns.
Who has not been amused by the midwives'
signs in that city, which represent the nurBe
in the lying-in-chamber taking, with a trium
phant air, the new-born babe to the equally
triumrhant-looking father f In Holland fiere
is a penect harvest of quaint sings still remain
ing; but for the truly picturesque signs we
must go to the Tyrol. The hotels there are
invaiiably decorated with some picture of a
saint; but the favorite sign is generally a
gigantic St. Christopher, painted, or rather
frescoed, on the wall. After a long ride in
this mountainous country there is something
charmingly pleasant in coming suddenly upon
a solitary inn, and seeing the Baint, perhaps
thirty feet Inch, bearing the infant Christ
upon his shoulder while he is fordiug a
river. St. Christopher is the patron saint of
the poor man, hence the reason for his pic
ture as a sign. St. George slaying the dragon
is nnother common eign in that country, and
often, in addition to these signs, there will be
pictures of the Virgin, or of Christ bearing
His cross. The innkeeper in these valleys is
bv no means such a coarse specimen of hr.
manity as we often meet with in country places
in Kngland; he evidently is a lover of art, for
we often fee in the most remote villages ex
cellent copies of well-known piotures by the
old masters, which they have adopted as their
sienn.
In Styria signs are used for a purpose which
is anything but assuring to the nervous travel
ler. Journeying along one of the Bteep defiles
in this country a few years ago with a very
timid lady, our attention was drawn to a cus
tom they have in this superstitious country of
marking the Bite of every accident by Mood or
mountain path with a picture depicting the
nature of the casualty. Here, where the road
overhangs the river, a lady will be seen pre
cipitated into the Hood; at the next sharp
turn a carriage will be seen overtu rned, with
eashed travellers writhing beneath; or aa
astounding avalanche will be shown swallow
ing up the eilwagen and all its passengers.
Near the picture will generally be Been a box,
in which you are requested to place a contri
bution in order that the priest may say a mass
for the repose of their Bouls. We suppose
that the priests are the artists of these gentle
reminders of our mortality, and use them as
advertisements to draw alms.
The Oldest Person Known. A colored
woman, Mrs. Flora Stuart, of Londonderry,
N. II., the Manchester American says, is the
oldest person known in the Lmted Estates.
bbe was born in Boston in 1750, and conse
quently is twenty-six years older than the
Declaration of American Independence. As
Bhe tells the story, her father and mother,
when Bhe was three months old, came into the
possession of the Simpson family of Wind
ham, N. II., as slaves, and remained with them
until after the abolition of slavery in that
State. She called her maiden name after that
of her master's family, Simpson. She has
lived in Rockingham county, iu the towns of
WindUam, Londonderry, and Candia, from her
childhood. Long ago she was left a widow,
and has now living two sons and a daughter.
She was at Manchester on Wednesday, and
had photographs of lier.-elf taken, and was
very much surprised at the process.
It may be hard for people who do nut
read the infamous paper published by the
brute I'omeroy (La Crosse IJcmocrat), to be
lieve that the following is really the expres-
si n of any Northern newspaper. Nevertheless
it came from the sheet named, aud is entitled
to notice because the Dunuaal is a great
lavorite wltu its party. It says:
