4 Strange Man.

4 singular man was the Bishop of havana,
whose death is just announced by telegraph.
The dispatch tells US tina; this BishcI had to
be buried by public subscription, as he left
nothing, having given all his possessions to
the poor Queer, was il not. som people
will say he was very foolish man. He hsd
plenty of chances to make money, Which he
might have put oct at interest unit 1t grew
to a fortune He had good salar., which
he might have boarded up, and by 7hich he
might have enriched his heirs. Bu instead
of uoipr any of these things, thusirgular
Bishop had gwen all his possessions to the
poor, not leaving even enough 20 Ply the ex-
penscs of his funeral. He died of he roD'lso,
which is raging in Havana He id not run

With the last words the thrilling voice
broke suddenly with pathetic fall ana II
film crcpt over the proud blue eyes. Perhaps
this little touch of womanly weakness moved
her hearers as deeply as her brave, scorhiu,
words They were not all towards at heart,
only touched by the dread finger OF panic,
which, now and then will paralyzc the braVest'
Some had struggled long against 1t and only
half Welded at last And some there were TO
whom old traditions had never quite lost
their power, whose superstitous conscious
ness had never become quite reconclled 10
the stigma of RcLej, though their reason ana
Judgment both told them that, borne for the
cause for which they bore It, II was utle Of
mobility.
The words of the little woman had gone
straight to each heart, be It's handspring what
It might. Gradually the dropping heads
were raised, and the eyes grew bright WIN
manllness and resolution. Before they lett
the house that night, they had sworn solemn
oath TO stand by the cause they had adopted
and the land OF their birth, through good or
evil, and to spurn the offers Of their tyrants
and foes as the deadlest insults.
Some of the names of those who met IN
that secret council were known atterward
among those who fought their country's bat.
ties most nobly, who died upon the field OF
honor, or rejoiced with pure hears when the
day of triumph came The name of the little
woman figured on no heroic roll, but was
she the less a heroine?
This story is a true one, and In this Cen
tennial year, when every crumb OF lnfOrma.

herolsm is eagerly gathered up, 1t may not
be without Intcrest.-Uenrtetta II. H0ldI7ch

The Latest Wonder of TeIegraphy.

The readers of the Traveller have been
made acquainted with the wonderful inyen-
tons of Professor Bell, by which musical
and vocal sounds can be and have been sen
over the electric wires, but few II any are
aware of the wonderful results which are
sure to follow these Improvements in tele
graphy A few nights ago Professor Bel
was in communication with Geographic
operator IN New York, and commenced expe
rimeniDg with one of his inventions pertain
ing to the transmission of musical sounds
He made use of his phonetic organ and play
ed the tune of america" and asked the
operator in New York what he heard.
II hear the tune OF America, replied New
York "give us another"
Professor Bell then played Aud Ian,
Syne.
'"What DO you hear now?"
Il hear the tune of Aud Lang Syne, with
the full chorus, distinctly" replied New
York.
Thus, the astounding discovery has ben
made that a man can play upon musical n
struments in New York, New Orleans, or
London, or Paris, and be heard distnctlyin
Boston, II this can be done, why cannot us.
tinguished performers execute the mostar-
tislic and beautiful music in Paris, and an
audience assemble IN Music Hall, Boston, TO
listen?
Professor Bells other Improvement, nme.
", the transmission of the human voice, has
become so far perfected that persons ave
conversed over one thousand miles of wire
with perfect ease, although as yet the 'ocal

HANNAH ARNETT'S FAITH.

The days were at their darkest, and the
hearts of our grandfathcrs were weighed
down with doubt and dependency. Defeat
had followed defeat for the American troops,
until the army had become demoralized, and
dIscouragement had well nigh become de-
SPAR. Lord CORVALLIS, after his victory at
Fort Lee, had marched his army TO Eliza
BEETHOVEN December l776,) where they were
now encampcd. On the 30th of November
che brothers of Howe had issued their celc-
DRAFTED proclamation, which offered protec.
ton to all who within sixty days should
declare themselves pcaceable British subjects
and bind themselves neither TO take up arms
against their sovereign nor to encourage
others TO do so. 1t was to discuss the advlsa-
bility OF accepting this pr0fiered protection
that group of men had met in one of the
large old houses of whc,h Elizabethtown was
at tina. time full.
We ere apt TO think of those old times as
days OF unmillgated loyalty aud courage; of
our ancestors as unfaltering heroes, swerying
never in the darkest hours from the narrow
md thorny pat, which conscience babe them
tread.
Yet human nature Is human nature in all
ages, and, If at times the "oldfashIoned ire
burned low even in manly hearts, and pro-
found encouragement palsIed for time the
most ardent courage, what are VIC that we
should wonder at or condemn them! or this
period Dr. Ashbel Green wrote:
IL heard man of some shrewdness once
gay that when the British troops overrun the
state Of New jersey, in The closing part OF the
year 1776, the whole population could have
been bought Tor IS pence head"
The debate mas long and grave. Some
we're tor accepting the offered terms at once
others hung back q little. bat all had at length
agreed ;hnf Il wss the oaly thing 10 be done
