"Cut9" said old Mr.. Parker testify
"I'n not have it cut at all.
"Well, Major" quoth the tonsorial
artist somewhat Instantly, "you'n have

"And l will not have it shampoo'd,
anyhow" snapped old Mr.. Parker.

he, "shall James be arranging the

"Bath ?" shouted old Mr.. Parker,

Lived Within His Salary.

There were several good stories told
at the conductors dinuer last evening,
but the one that created the most laugh
ter was related by Conductor McElroy,
from Pennsylvania. He said a conduc-
tor on an Eastern road was approached
by a seedy-looking individual who
wanted to get free ride, as he didn't
have any money.
"All right" said the conductor, "go
forward into the smoking-car and I'll
fix you all right"
Soon afterward the conductor appeared
in the smoking-car to collect fare from
the passengers. He took fare from
every one except the dead-beat and
another man, who happened to be the
Superintendent of the road. The Super
intendent noticed that he had overlooked
this man, and asked him why he had
done it.
"Why, that's conductor" was the
reply:
His appearance does not indicate it.
Look at his clothes" said the Superin-
tendent.
"Well," said the conductor, "he
can't help that. He's conductor on a
Western road, and he is one of those
fellows who are trying to live within
their salary; and that's what he has come
to-"
This was satisfactory to the Superin-
tendent, and the mar obtained his ride
without further inquiry. Omaha Bee.

Old Mr.. Parker,s Shave.

. Old Mr.. Parker's beard troubled him.
1t was O week old, and his chin looked
like q stubble-feld. He was walking
slowly along Cortlandt street, when his
ear caught the word, "Next." It came
from a basement, and a smooth-faced
but rather dejected-looking gentleman
stepped out upon the street. He was
evidently much fatigued and in de-
pressed state of mind. His overcoat
pockets bulged, and the necks of tonic
bottles protruded, but he was shaved,
and fly would have slipped up on his
shining back-hair. Mr.. Parker rubbed
his chin and meditated moment then
he descended the basement steps.
"How do You do, Generate Glad to
see you. Take this chair, if you please.
Shaver Yes, see, hair cut, shampoo,
bath afterward. James, black the Cen
erals shoes" Thus said the bald
headed presiding genius to old Mr..
Parker.
"Let those shoes alone, James, /" said
Mr.. Parker as he climbed into the chair.
"Now, Colonel" said the bald bar
Der, with shade less effusion, "how'll
you have IL cut

TALKING BY TELEGRAPH.
More Experiments in Telegraphy-The
Sound of Mans Voice Heard at Dis.
lance of Two Hundred Miles.
GFrom the Boston Globe.l

[From the Boston Globe.l
For some years past, Prof. A. Ora
ham Bell, professor OF vocal physiology
in the Boston University, has been en-
gagged in the invention of apparatus, by
the use OF which persons might talk to
each other by word of mouth over the
telegraph wires. His invention having
reached such state of perfection as to
admit of experiments between distant
points, trial was made yesterday on
the wires along the line of the Eastern
railroad. Prof. Bell conducted the ex-
pertinent in the Boston office, and Mr..
Thomas A. Watson, assisted by the
Eastern railroad operator, ofiiciated at
the Salem office, between which and
Boston, distance of sixteen miles--a
conversation was carried on with the
most gratifying success. Every word
uttered in the Boston Office was dis
tinctly heard in Salem, and vice versa.
The circuit was then made to extend to
North Conway, N. H., 143 miles from
Boston, with Salem as way station,
where the messages sent to North Con-
and distinctly heard. As the apparatus
used yesterday was only intended to
convey tho sounds to Salem, the unex-
pected extent of its utility was exceed
ingly wonderful. A further experiment
was finally tried, as follows The Bos-
ton operator talked with the Salem
operator via Portland-that is, the
sound of Prof. Bells voice was conveyed
to Portland and thence back as far as
Salem, distance of about 200 miles.
At this distance the words could not be
distinguished, but the sound of talking
was heard by Mr.. Watson, at Salem,
family, as if of some one speaking on
the other side of door. The apparatus,
as above stated, however, was not adapt
ed to conveying the sounds to such a
great distance, and the experiments
made are held to be adequate proof that
any given distance can be annihilated by
the use of proportionately powerful
magnets. The trial is, therefore, con-
sidered to establish the great utility of
the invention, and its success undoubt-
edly marks an era in the history of the
telegraph. Among those present at the
Boston office, yesterday, during the
progress of the experiments, were Gen.
A. p. Rockwell, President of the Eastern
railroad, and wife, Miss Stearns, Mr..
Morrison, and Mr.. Eustis Hubbard.

1t is stated that the combination between

few days before the scheme was executed.
The removal of Pierce, nowin Europe dn

Political.

Senator Morton's friends are losing hope.
One of them informed the editor OF the
Cincinnati Commercial recently, with tear
bedimmed eyes, that he believed it was all
over Between the soft money plank in the
Indiana platform and the "betrayal" of
Pinchback in the house of his friends, Mr..
Morton's prospects have been badly dam
aged. -rr. .sr
In q lecture last Friday. in New York,
Mr.. Moncure doorway said, concerning
land, shat people were looking to the
time when all land should be owned by the
State. The time was coming when it would
be necessary that not one acre OF land in
England should be private. All the land
had been originally given in trust, with the
condition that they should be wrought for
the benefit of the State, and they must not
long hence revert again to the State, which
is the people,"
Judge Taft, the new Secretary of War,
visited the Chamber Of Commerce before
leaving Cincinnati, and was forced against
his will to make a speech. 1t was brief and
sensible, and was as follows: ~ have no
business to make speech to-day. l made
a mistake in coming in. ] look forward
TO the duties which have been imposed on
me, and which 1 am about to undertake,

| A letter from New Hampshire to the New
York Tribune says: ''There Is one very no
/, ticeable thing in the canvass, and that is the
complete disappearance OF the negro ques-
| ton. No ku-klux stories are rehearsed by
the Republicans-the bloody shirt does not
| figure as an torifamme;' the party orators
and presses have gone five years back OF all
the reconstruction issues and appeal direct
" to the sectional prejudice Of the North
against the South. All hopes Of permanent
| " holding the Southern States by the coli
ored vote are abandonedl those States will
pass into the hands of the Democrats, and
the policy Of the Republicans is TO withdraw
to their strongholds in the North, force the
Democracy into the attitude Of Southern
party, which it occupied in the days Of
Pierce and Buchanan, and then fight the
old sectional fight over again-not on be-
half OF the negro, but 70 keep the rebels
from getting possession Of the government,
