PoLITIcAL.-The Washington Union, in the
opinion of the n Y. Post, is evidently prepar-
ing the way for a reconciliation between Mr.
Douglas and the administration. 1t devotes
column to showing how Mr.. Douglas ought to
have differed, as he did, from the administration,
without denouncing.it and making common cause
with the Republicans.
Senator Green, who reported the Lecompton
constitution to the Senate, in late speech Ie-
marked;
1.-THE Lecompton question was no longer an is.
sue. He and Mr.. Douglas had differed on that
question, but now he extended the right hand OF
fellowship to him, and he beheld Stephen A.
Douglas fighting black republicanism in Illinois.
Abraham Lincoln was the champion of the abo.
litionists, and Douglas was bearing the banner of
Democracy, and with him he sympathizcd."
The New York Post has the following:
1.-The Boston papers report that B. f. Butler
of Massachusetts is intending to run for Congress
this Fall as the advocate of new protective tar
if. We have long suspected that the President
was yearning for an opportunity of signing pro
tective tariff bill, and should not be surprised
to hear of many more tariff Democrats, like MIR.

LOCAL NEWS



The announcement by telegraph of the sue

made here just after dinner yesterday, took every
body by surprise. The public mind was SO COM

not appear to be "duty' in any particular and
many knowing winks were exchanged over the
bulletin in front of our Office, as much as to say,
"that's a SELL But the second dispatch put an
end to all doubt, and though the news seemed to
be too good to be true all suspense was dsPeiled'
and the additional particulars were received with
the most marked manifestations Of joy and salts

the telegraph office, the assembled crowd mani
Tested their qualification by loud cheers and as
the intelligence spread, the faces of our whole
population beamed with smiles. 1t was truly
fit subject for rejoicing, and most heartily did the
people of Worcester show their appreciation OF
that fact. In very few minutes we had the
whole dispatch in type, printed extras, gratui-
tously, and by every stage and railroad sent the
glad tidings into the adjacent towns, for the ben
eft of our country friends who look to us for the
news.
We learn that arrangements have been made
by the people Of Worcester, to testify their JOY
over the success of this great enterprise, by the
firing of hundred guns at noon, this day, and
also by the ringing of all the bells OF the city,
and by music from both Bands, which will be dis
coursed from the common. Hail Columbia

An Acoustic Tunnel.

A writer in the Philadelphia Press
Sends 90 that Journal an article from
DIR. Dicks Works on the subject of Ac-
~coustfc Tunnels, believing" he says,
''that great improvements can be made
in them, especially since the discovery
of gutta percha, and that we may be able
some time or other to talk to John Bull
across the Atlantic Ocean" He adds
Experiments were made in Paris by
NJ. Blot on the transmission of sound
through air in very long tubes, and
through solid bodies. These expert
ments were made through long, cylin-
drical pipes, which were constructed as
coRduits fpr fountains to embellish the
city of Paris. With regard to the
velocity of sound, it was ascertaiued
that it's transmission was ten aud q half
times as q2ick as through the air. The
pipes were over one thousand and thirty
nine yards in length. M. Blot was
stationed at one end, and a friend at tie
other; they heard the lowest voice SO
perfectly as to. hear the words and keep
up a conversation Oh the subject Of the
experiments. They wished to determine
The lowest point at which the human
voice seemed TO be audible, but could
not accomplish it; words spoken as low

and answer the interval was not greater

The time in the experiment through one

about FIVE and a half seconds. Reports

e GAY.-We suppose it is now
known that exceedingly gay young men
pretty generally go to rack and ruin
They spread for a while and hen con
tract aud collapse. They swell and
then burst. After leading very bad
lives they retire from the world through
the medium of six shooters or die other
wise unDaturally, leaving a large circle
of creditors to m~ourn-their premature
demise" After turning day into night:
after annihilating q sea of bad whisky:
after scouting at virtue and everything
pure and good after walloving in all
sorts of Wiekedness aud corruption: t. ey
abruptly "ssep cut" and the world ap
plies its big pocket handkerchief to its
eyes aud pathetically asks US to 'iemem
Der their virtues and forget their faults
not unfrequently adding that their
faults were of the head and not of the
heart
The newspapers told US the other day
how one of these exceedingly gay young
men had ended his wretched life in an
eastern city. Poor devil! We remem-
Der to have seen him some years ago,
when, as Crazy Ophelia says, he was
the observed of all observers'-replete
with waving ringlets. fashy harness and
diamonds. He alternated then between
the stage and law, aud might have been
entirely successful in either vocation.
But be concluded to be gay. He be,
came addicted to late suppers, fast wo-
men and kindred deviltries, aud was
feored.
Being very gay don't pay. 1t will

An Old Soldier.

We had the pleasure of seeing Mr..
WILLIAM BRoKAw yesterday, who visited
this spot in 1912, and has net been here
since until now. Mr.. BRokAw was on
gnard at Huron the night the news of
Hull's surrender was received, and viz
idly remembers the excitement and con-
sternatien that event produced. Mr..
B. belonged to the army under Gen.
Harrison and came from the sontbern
portion of Obio-when only an Indisn
trail marked the way-to the relief of
this frontier. Hehelp build Fort Meigs.
The old soldier of 50 years or M re is
ha e and hearty, and now a resident of
Seneca County. He is on his way to
visit his old home on the head waters of
Wheeling Creek. The change which
has transformed the then hamlet of a
tavern, q store or two, with q or two
dwellings, into a city with its 60. 900
people, of course seems to MIN like a
work of magic rather than reality
