Warrington Correspondence of Chicago Times
In spite Of the jealousies between the two
bodies, 1T is quite generally conceded that I. .
f. Murphy OF the Senate. Is the best short
hand reporter m the United States. if not in
the whole world. This man has reported
at the rate of three hundred words minute,
and made copy thai could then be accurate
ly rend by any of his brothers This would
seem like the greatest possible feat of report
ial skill, but there is another feat told of
the elder Murphy that has never been equal
ed. The bare repetition of this story in
private circles by the writer has earned him
Il character for romancing entirely uudesery-
ed, for it is borne out by the statement of
officials Of high positions, who witnessed the
feat, and who ever knew officials of high
positions to lie? Any one can see after this
how absurd and unjust it would be to doubt
the story.
Some time ago a certain Indian chief came

story goes the chief il represented as Choc-

The elder Murphy was present at one of
these councils with a friend This friend
had often discussed with Murphy the beauty
of photography, the art transmitting sounds
into translatable shape upon paper Muir
ply had always insisted that a highly train

any language, whether he Understood it or
not, from the mere following of the scalc of
its vocalization. The friend seriously doubt
ed this, ana at the council challenged Muir
ply to report the Choctaw chiei by the
sounds Of the original speech. The Choctaw
