DIR. q. NJ. BEARD having made some
interesting experiments with the "new
force" discovered by Mr.. Edison, shows
In a letter to the New York tribune
that some Of the earlier assertions as to
the lew agent passing through iusula-
tors without diminution, are likely to
oe modlnsd; but its strange peculiarly
OF not answering to the usual tests Of
electricity still remains. The usefulness
of the new force, if sll that is elaine d
for it be justified, can hardly be exsg-
gerated, and it will tend largely TO
cheaper telegraphy both by land and
under Wateri but numerous researches
ana inventions will evidently be needed
before the mere spark, unaccompanied
oy polarity or attractive power, will
Iuiiy serve to transmit messages.

AT the council the mayor received an
answer from Bremier Msckenz to his

THE BOSS.
His Pals In Ludlow street IncOnsOI.
abIe-"WilIie, we have Missed
You"

New York Arcadisn,l
This once fsvorIte song T"Willie, we
have missed you,"1 seems now to be the
most popular musical refrain which is
sung by the inmates of Ludlow street
Jail, since their friend and companion
Tweed, left 30 mysteriously for parts un-
known. Occasionally this well known
song has been relieved by the old Eth
opiRn melody of "He stole, he stole him.
selfaway," in which the very select COM
pany present displayed no little musical
talent. Sheriff Conner appeared there
at the matinee yesterday, among his
old admirers "Sad and dreary,n and
met with a hearty reception. In re.
sponse to the demands made upon him
"What are the wild waves say-a. ling,
say-a-a-ing sweet William, to thee" he
replied "In mournful strains" that
"There's nae nook in g. the land,n
but what he would penetrate with his
faithful band Of detectives and deputies
to discover the aboad Of "The lost one"
Yes, He Nould search the wild world
over" to find "The treasure of his SOUL"
IL he perished in the undertaking. He
stated, in a speech to his hesrers, that
it was no fault of his that the public
had not heard any "Glad tidingsu OF the
whereabouts of Tweed. The latter had
"Dwelt in marble hallsn for go long a
time, that now, when "Hard times had
come again" upon Tammany, some
thought he had deemed it both wise ard
polite to absent himself Sheriff Con
ner further stated that he did not believe
that "the Boss" had run away, but that
he had been abducted like poor little
Charley Rose. Tne reward he had
offered for Tweed's recovery, it is true,
was not quite as large at that offered for
young Ross, but he deemed the sum
quite sufficient when all the circum-
stances are taken into consideration.
When the Boss returned to the bosom
OF his friends and constituents, he could
only say, in the language Of John
Kelly, who wrote the hymn, "Oh,
won't that be Joy yful.n

their dramatic support, at Hill's opera

heroes OF the plot, most tTuthfully per-
soDated the daring scouts OF the plains,
aud performed their mimic battles with
a. near an approach to tne genuine as
the artificial surroundings would per-
nit. Frank Mordaunt, in the character
of the despsrsdo, "Jim DAVIS" did the
difficult work of his role with exception
al excellence, while Morlscchi's imper-
sontaion of the "Indian girl" was true
TO the nature. Supported by good
company, these artists gave the
audience most enjoyable evenings en-
tertainment. The large attendance and
the enthusiasm manifested by interest

A TEXAS MADMAN.-Some months
ago large and powerful-built man went
into the Office Of Judge Smith, of Austin,
Texac, and asked the Judge to send him
him to the lunatic asylum. The man
said he was a dangerous madman, and
not fit to be running around loose. His
appearance of blunt candor did not con
vince the Judge, and he told him that be
could do nothing for shim. The man
went his way. The other day he visited
the office again, and the Judge recogniz-
ed him. There was another man, Mr..
Denton, also in the office, and it was wei
that he was. Judge Smith asked the Wis
itor what he could do for him, and the
visitor drew a long knife and told the
Judge he had come to kill him. Now
big knife in the hands of big man in
man in Texas means something. The
j ldge erasped his heavy cane and Den
ton picked up chair. There was a lively
skirmish, at the end of which several
chairs were broken, the cane was splint-
cred, and the man with big knife was
lying on the floor with a bleeding head.
This time the Judge thought the man
was mad enough to send to the asylum,
and he was accordingly sent.

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED. - On the
wall over the bed Of dying woman in
Cohoes, N. y, II cross appeared. 1t be-
gan with a mere outline, deepening in
color until the woman died and then fad
ed. She saw it, and superstitiously re-
garded it as premonition Of death. The
neighborhood was intensely excited, and
hundreds went to see the cross. At last
a matter of fact newspaper reporter in
vestigated, and learned that the leak in
the roof had let water into the plastering,
the discoloration taking the significant
shape by chance, and that when the rain
storm was over the cross faded. 1t is
probable the fright aggravated the wo-
mans disease and killed her.
