be free, though always loyal and kindly
discussion as to the antecedents, the
surroundings, the prejudices, the whims,
the characters Of those with whom We
are thrown in contact, and who come
under the first two heads. We may
thus learn to bear more easily with

nothing by their hasty acceptance of

form. Congress has adjourned without
extending them any practical aid in the
work of Acknowledgement, and the
whole matter appears to have been as
entirely ignored as the claims of the
negro for Office for political sympathy
and aid. We thought the suffrage
party were depending upon slender
support when they hung on to the coat

The AERIAL TELEGRAPH SCHEME. The
bill incorporating the Loomis Aerial
Telegraph Company was passed by the
Senate recently and with the signature
of the President, will become law.
This aerial telegraph scheme is novel
thing. The plan of DR.. Loemis, the
inventor, is to telegraph from q high
peak of the Rocky-Mountains to the
highest attainable peak of the Alps, at
which point tower is to be erected, on
the top of which large mast is to be
placed. An apparatus capable of col
Letting electricity is to be put on the
upper end of his mast, by means of
which, OH such elevation it is claimed a
strata of the atmosphere will be reached
which is charged with electricity.
Ground connections the same as in or
binary telegraphy will be erected.
This electrified stratum of the atmos-
phere will, as with the ordinary single
wire and ground connection, make a
complete circuit, and it is claimed that
the slightest pulsation of the electricity
at one tower will produce similar pull
sation at the other. The company is to
have capital stock of 5000, 900, with
the privilege of increasing the same to
two millions if the interest of the CON-
pany shall require it. The business
objects of the corporation are stated in
the bill to be to develope and utilize
the principles and powers of natural
electricity, to be used in telegraphy,
generating light, heat, and motive power
and to operate any machinery run by
electricity for any purpose.
