well conveyed 10 the mind by means Of the teeth
as by the ear. Curious as this assertion may
appear, it is easy to prove it by the following eX-
perrin mt. Lay watch upon table, glass side
IoWnWards, then stand 50 far from ii y0u cannot
hear i; ticking. Now place one end Of a small
dead stick, (Say six feet long,) upon the back of
the watch, and grip the teeth TO the other; with
the fingers close TO each ear, to exclude and ill.,
torual noise; the beat of the watch will then be
as audible a. if placed against the ear. All 9TH
err sound can be conveyed in the same manner,
no matter how long the stick is for in,aEca if
one end is put on piano forte, in sitting room
facing the garden and the silk is thirty or forty
feet long extending to the farther end of the
lawn or walk: now if the instrument IS ever 50
lightly played, ''the tune" will be easily distin-
O., shed by any person applying their teeth TO the
opposite end OF the stick.

Mr. Hale accepts the nOmination-that as we
have before announced, he islands the fire."
We never had brighter prospect before US
not even in 1913. The reaction of 1850 is at
end, and the tide is flowing strongly toward
the side of freedom. The enthusiasm for the
candidates and the Platform has kindIed up the
latent fire OF the free democracy. From every
quarter we hear not only of zeal and confidence
among our friends, but of apathy and apprehen-
sion amoug our enemies. In one town in Berk-
shire we hear Of 80 Wigs who have renounc-
cd their party, and 20 for Hale and Julian, and
the Pittsburgh Platform. From the same part
Of the country, also, leading Democrat, OF great
ability and influence, writes TO us--"I have al
ways been a democrat, and have never voted for
any other than democratic Il ket." These are
but specimens of what we hear from all sides =
Nothing is needed now but vigorous effort
this year to disseminate our principles, and we
shall place the party of freedom in such a pos
ton Of commanding strength, that both the 9TH
or parties will have to come to its feet to beg for
the terms that it may please to dictate.
