The members Of this Association gave their
services, without charge, to raise fund for the
benefit Of a company in our midst, which labors
also without pay for the protection of the prop
erty of all our people.
As for ''going through the world without
paying reasonable printers BILL" that to say
the least, in an ntruth, as we have our printer 8
bill receipted, which was paid promptly and
without asking any deduction.
We did not issue free tickets to any, believ-
ing that no citizen would hesitate, but would
desire to contribute the small sum of SO cents in
behalf of the Augusta Fire Company, composed
of worthy young men, who labor for the public
good without the hope of fee or reward. We
may just add that one of the City press bought
8 tickets in order to aid this company
This much only because we deemed it neces-
sary to refute, at once, the disreputable charge
seemingly levelled at US.

A SPEAKING MAcHINE.-Thcre was OK
hibited in Baltimore on Friday night last
speaking machine invented by Prof. Fabor
of Germany. The San gives the following
account Of the exhibition
Mrs. Faber, the wife of the inventor, sat
down to the machine Is to an organ,
and played upon it. The instrument was
first carried through tho scale of primary
sounds, articulating the vowels from the re-
cesses Of its CLOTHS. 1t was made to laugh,
cha, ha, ha p "ho, ho, ho !" che, he, he 7"
&c, which it did like the demon in the play.
Then it was called upon to pronounce female
names, "Jo.seph-i.na," "Wil.hel.mi.na,o
"Caro lima" MARY" &C., uttering the
words by sylables as written, but slowly, in
response to the touches Of the operators ia-
gers upon the keys. Some very long and
difficult words were pronounced, such as
Mississippi, Philadelphia. Baltimore, and
even Constantinopls. In its pronunciation
the machine showed its Vienna origin by
marked foreign accent. 1t was made 10
count and speak in three Languages, Ger
man, French and English. Il was particu-
larly happy in German. For French mask
was put over the mouthpiece, and tubes con-
nected with the nose so as to produce the
peculiar nasal tone necessary in accurate
French pronunciation. 1t said ''Messieurs,
comment vous portes vous? Mereie Tres
bien," &c. Finally the inventor made it
utter several sentences, which were deliver
ed with accuracy, though they lacked per-
feet distinctness in articulation. and wore
delivered slowly, with painfully hollow
and monotonous tone. 1t said: II was
born in Vienna in lS41, and my inventor
was Professor Faber," and at the conclusion
apolcgized for its imperfoction by saying,
"Thank you. gentlemen, for your attention.
hope you are Satisfied with the little talk.
ing machine You must not expect too
much Of me. Ny meditation is not perfect,
because | am a machine. am very tired
and | must, therefore, bid you goodbye.

THE COMING CONGRESS. third and
last session Of the Forty-second Congress
will commence next Monday week the End
of December, and end on the 4th of March
1878, by constitutional limitation. The
law which required the new Congress to
meet on that day has been repealed, and
consequently, there will no regular session
of the Forty-third Congress until December
>1073. AS the 4th Of March ensuing marks
the commencement of new Presidential
term, the Senate will be callod in brief, ex.
traordinary session for executive business
only. The Senate now stands 81 Republi.
cans to II Democrats and Liberal Repub.
licans.

that the Democrats will gain six Senators.
Of the six Liberal Republicans only Mr..
TrumbulPs term expires in 1873. The

consist of 200 members, Of which the Re.
publicans will probably have two-thirds-
perhaps more. This body, however, will not
organize till December, 1873, while the new
Senators will take their seats at the execu.
tive session in March.
