case, aimed deserved blow at our present
ANTICIPATED jury system, when he said that
the method of challenging jurors had the ef-

also said in commendation Of struck Jurors.

against Tweed, IL was wise 10 select as juries

a fair and impartial verdict.

According to the Washington correspon-
cent OF the Baltimore Gazette, the democrats
are disposed TO take the wind out of Mr..
Blaine's republican sails by adopting his
proposed amendment to the constitution OFF,
hand. He says:
All the democrats to whom have talked
have, without reference to their religious
predictions, assured me that they were so
anxious TO allay all religious antipathies
mat they would vote for Blaine's amend
ment most cheerfully. A member from Penn
sylvsnis, who is most sincere and deveut
Catholic, told me yesterday that he would
favor the amendment, and In doing so he
knew he would reflect the unanimous senti-
ment of the Catholic laity of his state"

TLe Ile!aer Of ;hs pcr;od.

One year ago to a fashionable
mother was born a baby boy. She
got Vet nurse, who remained with
her six months, and then, as The child
liked The bottle best, the wet nurse
was discharged. When the baby
was born the grandmother was there
from her distant western home, and
shortly after returned, to come 10
more ill this summer. In the mean
time the young mother has seen lier
child sometimes o-cc i day, some
times once week, as the case might
be. The first thing on grandma's
arrival was loud call for Tommy,
and Tommy was forthcoming. He
was kissed and hugged, and praised,
and petted, and grandma just lugged
him about till finally, old-lady like,
she stripped him to see how much re
had grown. Then came a shrek.
Where was Tommy's extra toe?
Tommy was born with SIX toes; Grand
ma knew it. The family doctor was
sent for, and when an examination of
Tommy was made, the NJ. D. unhesi-
tatingly pronounced it not the Simor
pure Tommy by any means. There
had beer ,nalformation OF the orig
inal Toms feet that time would not
have remedied. Then all sorts of
speculatiors were in order. But one
servant had anything to do with the
baby, and she had been six months
away, no one knows in what direc-
ton. Thomas sets up in a dubious
position. If lie sin Tommy, who IS

Music Without Hands.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE ac-
me of.machine-music appears to have
been attained in aningenious inven-
ton Just perfected hy Messrs. schmo-
ele Of this city, which was exhibited
last evening in Horticultural Hall to
few invited guests. The apparatus
reads notes and plays upon an organ
with absolute correctness Of time and
touch, the only assistance given it by
the operator being to feed in the end
of roll of music and start the ms-
chinery. Organs have been played
by electricity before, but the only
part performed by the electric fluid
has been to transmit the power from
a distant bank Of keys 10 open the
valves Of the instrument. Such an
electrical organ has been exhibited in
London for some time past. In the
Schmoele instrument the electric cul-
rent is endued with seeming intelli-
gence, and distinguishes the notes in
the same way that a blind man does
by feeling. Marvellous as this al :
pears at first thought, it is simple
enough. The score is written On a
long roll of stout paper by cutting
holes through it in the form Of squares
or parallcIograms. The reading in
strumert, which is about as large as
a sewing-macbine, is provided with a
multitude Of small brass fingers, each
of which is connected by a wire with
the pipe Of the organ which it ope-
rates. Tie roll Of music is fed in
over a brass tubas,,When the fingers
rest on thef q electric current
is transmitted, because paper is a
on-conductor; but whenever they
fail into the holes cut in it they touch
the brass below, the current is trans
rnitted and the sound prodt,ced.
The length Of the note is governed
by the length Of the slit in the paper.
A noiseless bellows-machine, run by
Wind conducted through q pipe from
the organ, works the feeding appa-
ratus. TO aid in producing orches.
tral effects, drums, cymbals, bells, &c.
are added to the ordinary pipe-organ
aud operated by electricity in tie
same manner as the pipes. a greatly
increased volume Of sound and much
richer harmonic combinations can be
made by this instrument than it j;
possible for single performer to pre-
duce upon an organ, in consequence
of the fact that the perfcr.ler has on
ly lis ten fingers, while j. eleetrica.

The Largest Farm In The World

xiv A"A . Soot
Mr.. George Grant, the enlightened
founder of Victoria colony, in Kan
sas, who has been spending couple
Of days in this city, left for Kanss'
last evening TIE owner Of $4,000
acres Of land, embracing the County
Of Ellis, which is larger than any
dukedom in Europe, he is entitled to
the credit Of a public benelactor, by
the introduction Of the best blooded
stock, and showing, by example the
best manner Of rearing, feeding and
improving the foreign and domestic
breeds Of horses, cattle and sheep in
this country. He has just wintered
1000 sheep with a loss of less than
one per cent. He wintcrcd $4,000
COWS without feeding them, except on
several cold nights with Lay, with
only loss Of four calves and one
cow. His success in this respect is
due mainly to good shelter. The Sc
cret of saving feed and preserving
stock is shelter. During the past
year, Mr. Grant expended $1,000 in
constructing shelter, and he has such
faith in its advantages that he will
expend double The amount during the
coming season. He has $250,oo0 in
vested in stock, and is the owner Of
the Thoroughbred English stallion
Flodden, valued at $4,000, the faith
er of which won The race in 1860 at
Derby, il which half million'lollars
changed hands. Mr.. Grant las just
returned from the East, and has Oh
the way to his farm thirty odd brood
mares, purchased in Ohio, Virginia
and Kentucky. Mr.. Grant is dis
posing OF his land to actual settlers
and sells only to such as can afford
to purchase a mile square or upwards
Among the large number Of resident
colonists and stool, raisers who have
! purchased land Of him, and are now
raising in Victoria colony, are many
young men of prominence, both in
this country and England. The Hon
Walter Maxwell yo@nger son Of Lord
Her,ies, of Everi9glam parke York

Frontier Relief.

Of the corps Of officers sent out from
military headquarters at St. Paul, to in.
vestigate and report upon the needy and
suffering on our frontier from grassnop-
per devastation, Col. Mcclure and Lieut..
Scott are still absent, being in Dakota
Territory, and from whence Capt. Tisdell
arrived this morning. The two officers
still out are expected in before the close
Of the week, when the joint report Of all
officers engaged will be made up and the
distribution at once begun. The search
thus far made. as might be supposed, has
developed various instances Of fraud. vet
the discovery and proper rebuke of which
will only serve to render the aid given to
those truly deserving the more appreci-
able.
While it is impossible to give at this
time numerical statement Of the lists Of
sufferers in the several counties and dis
tricts Of country already visited, yet
enough is known to warrant the assertion
that the total number will he consider
ably less than has been generally sup
posed.

THE BEECHER MIDDLE.
Interview With a Reporter.


George Alfred Townsend writes to the
Philadelphia Times the following account
Of an interview with the witness Cooke, a
former reporter for the New York Sun:
The Importance Of the testimony Of the
witness, Cooke, was so great that at the
recess made his acquaintance, and the
following parts Of a conversation were
given:
"Do you believe, Mr.. Cooke, that
Bcecher is guilty or the subject of con.
spiracy!"
Cooke. Il have believed from the time
| saw Tilton's statement, last summer,
that this charge against Beecher was false.
1t began in Tilton's envy. Frank Houlton
Was for some time Tilton's half dupe.
Finally, Moulton was let in and then he
was too obstinate or reckless to back
out."
"Why did you begin to think this from
Tilton's statement before the Commit
tee!''
Cooke. because I saw there that Til.
ton claimed that his intimacy with Wood
hull was due 70 desire to save his guilty
wife from publicity. l knew that the
contrary was true
"Explaini''
Cooke. Mrs. Woodruff Was struck
with Tilton-in love with him. He re-
ciprocated They became intimate, and
both together endeavorcd to bring
Beechcr to the Steinwsy Hall meeting.
Woodruff never saw Beecher but three
times. He positively declined to address
- IL
and from that time forward Mrs. Wood
hull was free with him. and constantly
sought to drag me into attacks upon
3eecher on the score Of his many infGel-
ties
ibid she get this whole story from
Tiltoni''
81 think so. He began with upbraid-
ing Beeeher on general grounds Of inf
deity, and finally connected his own wife
with these charges. Woodhull made sure
that she would get under Beecher's pat
ronage by her knowledge ofthese secrets
But he was the only man Of the whole
set she could not dragon. Then they
| laid for him.
| do you know vicky Woodruff =
asked Cooke. NOT Then you can't
know anything about one side of this
csse. She is the smartest woman in this
country. and if you were personally aware
Of all her offenses against purity and
probity. still she would make the impr es.
