New Telegraph Line.

A. J. Davis, the celebrated Clairvoyant, is
still engaged in writing books. His last
explains the rapping phenomenon, which he
says was brought aboutby DR.. Franklin, who
is still pursuing his discoveries. The Doc
tor found that he could direct certain more
attenuated currents of electricity to the pro-
duction Of physical impressions upon the in
habitants of the earth, and after having con-
suited Fenelon and DR.. Claiming as to the
moral propriety of the proceeding, unfolded
his plans which are now in full tide of sue
cessful experiment, in the shape of rappings,
bell-ringings, table-movings, pitcher-break-
ings and SO forth. Here's telegraph line
that exterds not only to New Orleans, (and
that's a smart distance, but clear into the
Spirit world. The spirits, Mr.. Davis in
forms us, sometimes make mistakes, like the
telegraph, because the mode of utterance is
new to them as we'll as to us-indeed, he
says that some of the spirits are little more
knowing than many Of the individuals Of
this world, the assertions of whom we
know are not infallible.

sewing Machines.


Notices of a machine for sewing, appear
ed some time since in many Of The public
prints. but we were not aware that it had
come into actual use to any considerable ex-
tent. 1t seems, however, from an article in
The last Scientific American, that there are
establishme at the East employing
a number Of these novel and useful machines.
There is one in Gold street, New York, in
which thirty machines are employed on
clothing and twenty on bags. These ma
chimes are driven by steam and attended BY
girls. Each machine turns out ten pairs o
pantaloons in day. Fine coats are put TO-
gether by these machines and the work il
said to be beautiful and to command highe
price than that done by hand. There is an
other factory in Eleventh street, New York
working so machines, and one in BostoI
working 100. The profits are at presen
veiy great, as one girl can by small ma
chine sew six overcoats, and an expert han'
twenty pairs Of pantaloons in day. Th
inventor has secured pat ents in Englan'
Scotland, France and Belgium. II will no
probably, be long before the greater part o
sewing, except the the finest and ornament
ed kind, will be done by machinery. Wha
then will become of the poor seamstresse
who can now earn but scanty and precari
GUS subsistence

Twelve Persons Murdered!

A late arrival from the lsthmus brings an
account Of q most diabolical murder Of
twelve persons, including four females, which
was committed at Dos Hermados, upon Cha
gres river. The act is charged upon four ne
gro boatmen, three Of whom have been ar
rested. The bodies were found horribly mu-
tilatpd, and it is believed by the community
that they were murdered while asleep. 0u
government should take some steps towards
protecting her citizens on the Isthmus, ant
until this is done we may expect 10 hear o
such outrages by almost every arrival.

A Rare Collection.

Among the recent advertise ments in the
London Times, is one of an entire column,
announcing for sale very extensive and
machlesss collection of historical manuscripts

1913. There are 81 900 autograph letters,
pa pers and notes with signatures of all the
most remarkable characters of the last four
centuries, from Henry VII TO Queen Victo-

the Emperor Napoleon, his father, mother,
his Empress, his son, and the Kings. Queens,
Princes and Princesses, belonging to his
family, there is an unhpard of collection.
These alone far exceed 1000 Of consecutive
dates. from 1913 to 1919, and as the collec-
tor would like the collection 10 be kept en-
tire. he consents to accept fl5,O00 for it
(one-half the cost.) Two-t thirds, or more,
of the amount may not. if so desired, be
paid in cash; an approved estate would be

Ton Hyer.

This individual, ii is said, has about sue
ceeded in getting up another prize fight.
His opponent-or the man who has been
bantered-isa powerful fellow named Good
uson, who announces in the New York pd-
pers that he does not fear Tom, but respect
for himself and family has prevented him
from accepting the challenge therefore,. In
the same manner began the contest between
Hyer and Sullivan, and it is not unlikely
that the result will be similar.

this discovery has been to the history, speaks
