Endorstng the Platform.


The Philadelphia papers, notice the hold
ing of numerous meetings in the neighboring
cities and towns, in Eastern Pennsylvania,
at which the National American platform
was adopted with scarcely dissenting voice.
At Eastoh, West Chester, Germa ntown,
Carlisle, Lancaster and Harrisburgh, meet
ings were largely attended and the principles
Of the platform and the protests OF the several
States fully discussed, and the result was that
the platform was almost unanimously sus-
tanned.
The ledger says: "The more the people
see, hear and discuss the platform the better
they like it." We hope every city and town
in Indiana, will at once take their position in
relation to this important matter, and let the
fact be determined as soon as possible.

though person can see directly through the
body apparently in straight line, do not
throw any light into the chamber. From
these openings nothing can be determined as
to its mode Of operaton,' any more than by
looking at the unsightly exterior.
Barnum, OF the MUSEUM, two or three
other showmen, and several members OF the
press, were present. None of them, it
seemed, were favorably struck with the in
vention.
The greatest point was now to be settled.
No one doubted that the fgnte had walked.

6orfie keys on the Outside of The body, when
the figure said. with psuses between the

"Eadies ant gentlemen. you see before
you triumph Of science and art"
Many more words were spoken But we
could not understand them. The voice
seemed to sound as if proceeding from a liv-
ing body through pipes. The operator as
sured the spectators thar any body couid make
the figure speak, and that there was no col
lusion. Barnum moved the keys and the
figure answered, but as he could not see the
interior he was not satisfied. The impress
sion OF those who were present was that
there was man inside of .he figure. 1t

Can a Wooden Man be made to Walk
and Talk!

For some time past it has been reported
tina: a wonderful achievement in science and
art had been accomplished by a mechanic Of
this city. He hid, in fact, invented an au-
tumaton that could walk and talk. A num-
Der of gentlemen had seen the figure operate
exactly as described by the inventor, but
they were inclined to think that there was
collision in the case.
Yesterday afternoon we witnessed an ex-
hibiton of the Lutomaton in a private room
in Broadway. 1t was an awkward looking
thing, weighing, it was said, three hundred
and fifty pounds, with a huge bronze head,
mOnstrous body painted red, and short legs
The resemblance to a man was very slight.
It's general Appearance, we should say, was
more like that of a monster.
Upon our entrance into the room in COM
pany with several gentlemen, the figure stood
near the wall between two windows. The
operator read description of the invention,
stating that it was moved by machinery
Before he finished reading, however, the au-
tomaton began to vibrate in a very singular
manner The motion continued for some
seconds, and the spectators began to suspect
that there was somebody inside the mon
strous stomach of the figure. The machinery
was ound up at last, and while the opera
tor steadled the figure, it shuf1ed its elephant
feet along the floor for short distance and
/ then stopped.
The screws were put to the figure again,
and it backed towards the wall, at the same
time lifting its feet in the backward move
ment much better than going forward.
The operator then prepared the figure for
speaking. by the use of an alr-Pump. This
some of the lookers-on hint d, was to give
air to the person concealed within the figure.
While the operator was proceeding with
his SPUN pin gs," the gentlemen closely scru-
tlnized the automaton, in order to detect any
deception. Small windows are placed in its

District school Examinations.


During this week there have been tho
Yough examinations of the scholars of the
District schools of this city. We learn that
these examinations were without exception
satisfactory, and gave ample assurance to
visitors of the excellent character ard con-
duct of the institutions, and of their value to
the community. The examinations will con-

&ached to Rev. Mr.. McCarer's church.
We had the pleasure yesterday morning
Of attending the examination of Miss Fanny
Fishers scholars, at the old medical college
building. The room was well filled with
visitors, there being more in attendance than
had ever been present at any previous school
ex' mination in this city. The scholars, all
young misses, and very numerous, were
examined in all the common branches
We were glad to recognize among these
children the daughters of many of our more
prominent citizens, and we are sure the
parents present must have been satisfied that
they chose well in sending their childre to

conducted by Miss Fisher, and her assistant t,
Mise Laura Dean. The scholars promptly

visitors, that they exhibited remarkable pro-

tons OF many private schools, but very rarely
have we witnessed more satisfactory examin.
ations than this. Dir. Trustee Wheeler, in
his remarks at the close, thought he had
seen the same scholars do much better in
private examinations, but we assure him the
visitors were highly grat6ed. Miss Fisher
IL an able teacher, ard loved by her pupils.
With the aid of M 50 Dean she makes most
an excellent school. DIR. Wheeler, in his
remarks, alluded to the conversation, &c,
among the visitors, as having probably as
sisted in confusing the scholars. So far as
cur observation extended, this little rub was
well deserved by 4 portion of the visitors,
but that portion consisted of teachers alone,
connected with other schools. Mr.. w. an
nounced that when the schools assembled
again, it would be at the new school house
now in course of erection, and to be com.

Our District Schools are an honor to the
city, and should be source of pride to citi
gems, and especially to those who have hat
IN opportunity by .hese examinations to in

are already well patronized, and we have nc
doubt they will be regarded with even more
general approval when better known.
