Proceedings Of the Teachers Institute.
WEDNESDAY.

Morning SeSsion.-The Institute was open
ed with prayer by Rev. T. M. Cathcart The
Examiner, Mr.. VIM. H. Harlan, called the
roll, SO teachers being in attendance
The first subject on the programme, Cor
biography" was then taken up.
Mr.. Cathcart was in the habit of having
lessons studied and spelled off the book.
Miss Lizzie III. Barnes is in the habit of com.
bining dictation with oral spelling, but didn't
think any stereotyped plan possible.
r. B. Jones plan is to set the child to
learning easy lessons as soon as they know
the letters. The larger classes are given
two lessons per day and allowed TO write the
words on their states.
Miss Ava Baily has her children to spell
orally and then write the hard words.
MIR. ---- was in the habit of hav-
ing his class write the lesson ON the black
board. Part fthe class to write and the rest
of the class to correct misspelled words.
]. o. E. Wetherel makes his pupils read
what they spell ana spell what they read.
He also has his pupils to watch each other

The Election on Tuesday.

The vote cast in Hartford county on Tues
day was 1888 less than that polled at the
Presidential election last year, but the result
has been the election of the entire Democrat
ic ticket by majority of 1000. The MAORI
ty for Tilden last year was 974. The
cause of the light vote is attributable TO the
fact that the success of the Democratic ticket
was assured, and the effort of the Republicans
was mainly for the purpose of keeping up
their party organization. Another reason
for the light vote was the recent division of
several of the larger election districts. Many
errors were made in transferring voters 10
the precincts in which they were supposed
to reside, and some confusion was caused
thereby, which resulted in voters mistaking
their voting place and refusing afterwards to
apply for their votes where they were regis
tered.
In this county, rs elsewhere in the State,
the colored vote was more divided than here
tofore although the bulk of it was cast for
the Republican ticket. The majority for Thos.
j. Heating, candidate for Comptroller, was
900
The election was characterized by no dis
order anywhere in the county. 1t was fairly
conducted, and although some voters felt ag-
grieved by not being allowed TO vote where
they supposed they were registered, the
judges of election, we believe, acted consci-
entiously and in accordance with the letter
of the law.
The result everywhere is glory enough for
one day. 1T means anything, it is stern
rebuke to the. fraud first triumphant in
American history" and the enforcement of
the popular demand for retrcnchment and re-
form in National, State and municipal affairs.
In another column will he found the full
official vote, as returned by the return judges
on Thursday.
In Baltimore city Mr.. Keating's majority
is 90 $685. out of a total vote of 35,077, over
$4,000 less than were polled at the municipal
election last week. The Democrats elect the
entire city delegation to the Legislature
The Republicans had no ticket for members
of the Legislature, and the only opposition
TO the Democrats were the nominations of
the Workingmen's party, whose vote was
less than that given for Porter, the Republi-
can candidate for Comptroller.
The vote throughout the State was light.
Very little relative change will be made in
the Legislature. The Democrats gain or 8
members in the House and lose Q or 8 in the
Senate.

A WONDERFUL INvENTIoN.-The latest
and most wonderful invention of the day is q
little machine called the Phonograph. by
means of which the tones of the human voice
may be reproduced years after death. The
inventor is Thomas A. Edison, of New Jer-
sey.
Nothing could be more incredible than the
likelihood of once more hearing the voice of
the dead, yet the invention of the new in
strument is said TO render this possible here.
after. 1t is true that the voices are stilled
but whoever has spoken or whoever may
speak into the mouth piece of the Phono-
graph, and whose words are recorded by it,
has the assurance that his speech may be re-
produced audibly in his own tones long after
he himself has turned to dust. A strip of
indented paper travels through little ma
chine, the sounds of the latter are magnfied,
and posterity centuries hence hear us as plain
ly as if we were present. Speech has become,
as it were, immortal. The Scientific american
says
The possibilities of the future are not much
more wonderful than those of the present
The orator in Boston speaks, the indented
strip of paper is the tangible result; but
this travels under second machine which
may connect with the telephone. Not only
is the speaker heard now in San Francisco
for example, but by passing the strip again
under the reproducer he may be heard to-
morrow, or next year, or next century. His
speech in the first instance is recorded and
transmitted simultaneously, and indefinite
repetition is possible.
The new invention is purely mechanical
no electricity is involved 1t is simple af-
fair of vibrating plates, thrown into vibra
ton by the human voice. 1t is crude yet,
but the principle has been found, and modi-
f1cations and Improvements are only matter
OF time So also are its possibilities other than
those already noted. Will letter writing be
q proceeding of the past? Why not, il by
simple talking into mouthpiece our speech
is recorded on paper, and our correspondent
can by the same paper hear us speak? Are
we to have new kind of bookss There is
no reason why the orations of our modern
Ciceros should not be recorded and detacha-
bly, bound so that we can run the indented
slips through the machine and i'm the quiet
OF our own apartments listen again, and as
often as we will, to the eloquent words.
Nor are we restricted to spoken words. Mu-
sic may be crystallized as we'll Imagine an
opera or an oratorio, sung by the greatest
living vocalists, thus recorded, and capable OF
being repeated as we desire.

THE RESULT IN OTHER STATES


Pennsylvania, for many years the strong.
hold of Republicanism, has turned over to
Democracy, by majority which will prob.
ably reach $4,000. Tie Republican majority
in Philadelphia is about 5000, q Republican
loss of 5000 since last year. The result in
Pennsylvania is signal rebuke to the fraud
and corruption in official places which have
SD long held high carnival there.
In New York Morrissey, anti Tammany
Democrat, beats Schell, regular Dem, for
the Senate. The Republicans will have
majority in that body, while the Democrats
will have the House.
As was expected Gen. Mcclellan, Demo-
crat, has been elected Governor of New Jer.
sey, by 10000 majority, and the Democrats
retain control of the Legislature.
In Massachusetts, A. II. Rice, Republican,
is reelected Governor by about 16, 900 plural
ity. Last year the Republicans carried Mas.
sachusetts by over 10000 majority.
In Virginia, on very light vote, the Con-
seiVaive ticket is elected without oppos-
ton, and the Conservative majority in the
Legislature increased. Returns indicate the
election of majority of delegates to the
Legislature favorable to the Moffet liquor
registry law and opposed to the re-adjust-
ment of the State debt.
In Connecticut the Republicans gain two
State Senators, and retain possession of the
Assembly by about the same majority as last
year.
In Mississippi there was a walk-over for
the Democratic ticket, and the election went
off quietly.
Minnesota and Kansas have been carried
by The Republicans, and Wisconsin also by o
small majority.
