The Telegraph.

Some ofthe reports that have leaked out
about an autographs telegraph just pa
tented in Washington, but withheld from
publicity until patented in other countries,
intimate an improvement that must be
very convenient, and some times exceed
ingly so, and may lead to a radical change
in telegraphing. The principle is appar-
entity analogous to that discovered by a
Mr.. Blackwell in England several years ago,
and that has been employed with imper-
feet success in France-perhaps elsewhere.
AT each station a cylinder is attached to
the transmitting and receiving instrument.
The manuscript to be sent is wrapped
around one and instantly duplicated on
the other, no matter how distant. The
process is almost an equivalent of photo
graphy, and is instantaneous. 1t is per-
ceptible at n glance that the long DIS
patches now sent at so much cost could be
forwarded by this means as cheaply as
the shortest, as they would occupy no
more time nor any more labor. 1t is
rather fearful to think what amounts of
crude news, with all the worthless details,
may be skurried about when this method
is in operation but there is an equivalent
in the expectation of receiving Presiden-
tai messages, royal speeches, official and
business reports and statistics in accurate
form and without delay Something like
this has been needed. If the American
Improvement or discovery surmounts the
European difficulties it will not be long
before it will revolutionize the existing
state Of affairs.

Importance of social Culture.
BY S. Z. TODD.

" Survey the globe through every zone,
From Jersey to Japan
In lineaments Of light tits shown
That culture makes the man.
All that man has, hopes, can have,
Past, future, or possessed,
Are fruits that culture gives-or gave
At industry's behest."

THREE Wives AT ONcE.-The
latest marriage ceremony partaking of
wholesale character at Brigham
Young's Endowment House" in Salt
Lake City, is thus described by the
Tribune of that City, Of the 10Th inst;
"The bridegroom came from the rural
"deestricks," youthful saint, filed to
overfowing with the nurture and ad-
monition Of tie Prophet Brigham.
His prophetic soul informed him that
it was not good to be alone, the dilapi-
dated kingdom sadly needed building
up, that legions of fugitive spirits were
lowering about his steps. seeking with
tears in their eyes, earthly t,bernacles
in which to repoae. So he did the
best he could do under the circun-
stances. He selected three tender
faiI ones, and won them for his brides.
Last Monday the quartet got married.
The thrice happy groom conducted
his bevy Of brides to the Eudowm ent
House, and She party got sealed on the
wholesale plan. Brother Walls was
present at the interesting ceremony,
and the cookies Of bis. heart warmed
toward the well-doing saint. The
President tapped the Benedict upon
the shoulder, invoked increase upon
the union, and assured him Of Gods
blessing on so devoted an act The
awkwardness Of the situation was ap-
parent when the mnch-married saint
attempted TO seal the nuptial ceremonies
with a kiss all round. Each blushing
bride persisted in receiving the first
salutation, and the bobbing of heads
was quite lively for a while. The
young man gave itup at last, and issued
out into the wicked world world with
an expression upon his countenance
which indicated that he had now got
business enough on hand to occupy all
his leisure moments"
From ARKANsAs.-ST. LOUIS,
May 4 The Democrats special from
Little Rock says: "Judges Searle and
Bennett, of the State Supreme Court,
were arrested last night, on their ar
rival by the Memphis tram at Argenta
opposite Little Rock, by Captain
Williams, acting under the orders of
Governor Baxter. The judges re-
fused to be arrested without proper
authority, whereupon Captain Williams
made signal aud band of armed
men entered the cars with cooked re-
volvers, and Sea1le and Bennett were
forcibly taken from the train, and up
to the time the dispatch was written
ha( not been heard of IN Little Rock
TI Supreme Court was to convene at
L ille Rock to day. Judge Stephen
n, also of the Supreme Court, was on
ie train, but it seems his presence
aas not known, else he too would have
oeen arrested. The affair created
great excitement in Brooks camp, and
and serious trouble as apprehended,
unless Colonel Rose, of the United
States arsenal, interferes for the re-
lease of the judges"

A whole Family Affected with TT

DR.. A. B. Chaplin, of Flint. Mich
was called upon Thursday to visii i,

number of days with some strange asa
painful sickness. The parties Athlete

least movement occasioning the mos
excruciating pains, and the slightes'
pressure upon the muscles producing
intense suffering. Withal there Was
the accompaniment of great thirst AM
difficulty in opening the mouth. These
were the leading symptoms that the
doctor found. Upon being question
ed as to what they had been eating,
the doctor was informed that they hsd
partaken freely Of raw ham a fortnigh,
previously. An examination Of thF
pork was then made by the physician
who found it infected with trichanw.

Glled with them. In the family are
three children who are evidently well
and healthy, and who claim not to have
eaten Of the raw ham, and this, witt.
other facts attending the case, thorough
ly convinces Doctor Chapin of the
cause of the trouble. The names OF
the sufferers are Christopher Bur-
minister his wife, Mrs. Burmimster;;
their daughter, IL years Of age, and
Charles Nichert. The pork was pur-
chased fresh in Flint last fall, and pre-
pared for the table by the family. A
number Of physicians have examined
the patients, and also made inspection
of the diseased meat, and all unite In
pronouncing it true case of trichina
spiralls.

Another Infant Orator.

"A San Francisco correspondent of the
Albany Journal has discovered in that
city . new Young American orator,
named Ellie Brown, and only five years
old. Somewhat enthusiastically he
communicates the news, which may be.
olassed as sad, by many readers, thus /:
His declsmations rereally astonishing.
He has spoken many times in public;
before large audiences, reciting the
most difficult and lengthy pieces in
manner unsurpassed by many of our
most distinguished orators, He has a
full voice, and he speaks distinctly, and
with the most accurate pronunciation.
His elocution is such a. aswewould expect
only from an experienced orator of, ma
ture years. His rendition of the ''Per.
sona1 Character Ct Abraham Lincoln"
i" Sheridan's Ride" ''Oharge Of the
Light Brigade" ''shamus O'Brien. {"
SO The Fireman" and several other
pieces, astonishes every one who hears
him, and almost induces the belief that
there is something supernatural in his
efforts. He is very bright, vivacious
lad, full Of mischief and play, and his
speaking does not seem to be 'at all Ia
borious. It is only necessary to read
a piece two or three times to enable
him to commit it to memory, and he
does not forget any Of his $50 pieces.
He is q great favoTite, and his parents,
MI. and Mrs. L. A. Brown, have reason
to be proud Of him. He. is q grandson
of Mr.. William Gage, of Schoharie, and
his mother-formar1y Miss Augusta
Goge-a few years since resided in
Albany. This lad has not been trained !:
elocution and oratory were perfectly
natural for him from the first moment
that he was able to talk. He is indeed

dred European trees. The back of each
one il formed of tho bark 0fsa tree, the
sides Of perfect wood, the top Of young

opened, the book is found to be a box
containing the flower, seed,s fruit and
leaves Of the tree, either dried or i'm
itated in wax. AZ the Melbourne Inter
colonial Exhibition :of 1865, Colonel
Clamp exhibited specimens of Victorian
wood converted intosmall boxes Of book

that gentleman at the Victorian Exhibi-
ton in 1851, and then suggested by
Baron Ferd. Mueller. Nothiug could
be more interesting than a library Ito

books, representing the, different tim
bers of various countries which could
be systematically, or alphabetically, or
geographically arranged. Australia
alone could furnish of. such collection
over q Thousand volumes. At the Paris
Exhibition Of 1857, Russia showed .
similar collection Of wooden books clev.
erly designed, allowing tho bark 3aa the

When General Charles Scott was
Governor of Kentucky, an insignificant
individual having adesire to distinguish
his prowess, pretended some ofense,
and singled out Gov. Scott, to whom he
sent challenge to a duel. The old
veteran properly refused the challenge.
Meanwhile the braggart had been os.
tentatiously speculating on the occur.
renee in advance, not anticipating the
turn it took. After waiting In vain for
an acceptance, and not even receiving
an answer, he went personally to de-
msnd an explanation. "General Scott,
you received my challenger "Your
challenge was delivered" "But I have
never received an acknowledgment or
an acceptance of it. ," II presume not,
sir, asl have sent neither. :" .*But Of
course you mean TO accept it2' ,':sOf
