The Grand Lodge of Free Masons OF
Massachusetts at it's last annual communl-
cation appointed committee to prepare
memorial tribute to the late DIR. JOHN
Dove OF this city, to be placed upon the re-
cords of that grand body. The committee
reported a paper and suitable resolutions,
which were adopted by unanimous vote,
the brethren all rising. The committee did
us the honor to incorporate into its report
the Dispatch's biography of DR.. Dove, and
of consequence to print the same in the

BRADLEY.-The case of Justice Bradley is
indeed most pitiable one. Sometimes
during the discussions Of the Commission
he was completely cornered by other mem
bers. When he was laying down the opin.
ion that it was not competent to go behind
the Governors certificate, Senator Bayard
put to him the question: "Suppose State
Should elect double the number OF electors
TO which it is entitled, or the electors OF
State should vote for an alien Tor President
would there be no power to remedy this ~
Unable to reply, Judge Bradley hung down
his head in his abiect partisanship.- WASH

In tho nemocratic caucus at Washington

In the Democratic caucus at Washington
on Monday it was the general sentiment
that no army appropriations should be made
unless with distinct proyiso that no part
OF the military shall be used as police for
the protection Of the illegal carpetb bag gov
ernments. II the Senate will not agree 10
such clause the members said they would
make no further appropriations than were
absolutely necessary for the fe-keeplng OF
the Notifications and military stores. Inc
members who are in favor Of flibusterlng
said, after the caucus was over, that they
recognized the fact that they were small
minority, but they did not intend TO cease
their efforts to prevent the declaration OF

the southern States to their proper station in
the Union than the plan proposed, WHICH is
TO SETTLE THE DEBT OF TIE STATE OF NoRTH
CAROLINA. The southern States, since the
war, have rested under cloud. Their
creditors have harsh feeling against them,
and look upon them with suspicion, and re-
; gard their credit as questionable. There is
no political or religious question concerned
in this meeting, and there could be no ques-
ton more important to the States III queS-
ton and the Union at large"
This took place on the 4th of January. and
was duly published in the newspapers, but
the movement seemed to lack'spirit and is
clearly Iiieless. The holders Of the recog-
nized bonds OF North Carolina would not
/" harnonizen with this 6 Centennial har-
mony" proceeding. Hence it was deemed
advisable to take a new departure, and, ii
possible, bolster up a hopeless cause by
coupling it with the names OF many WELL
known and influential, citizens. To this
alone the meeting OF January 18th, pre-
sided over by the venerable William Cullen
Bryant, owed its origin. Mr. Fred. Tay-
Tor, spoken OF above, early avowed iln-
self as the person "largely instrumental in
bringing It about and proceeded to ex-
plain "the objects sought to be attained by
tnlS meeLiHB. 1S seSIeIdty, MI.S IuOLnas
Denny, and the mover Of the, resolutions,
Hon. II. g. Stebbins, are, like Mr.. Tay-
Tor, large holders OF . special.tax 2 bonds.
Clearly. somebody aaput up a job on
Mr. Bryant, biz. Coe, and their associates,
for they are all honorable men, and would
scorn any proposition to actfas iparties;to
any scheme OF deception. They certainly
would not lend their influence to that EN-
braced la this movement. Is is supported
solely by the prestige Of their names, and
neither contefnpiates, nor is 1t capable OF
assuring, the sound and healthfnl solution

Another crime attributable to losses at
the gaming table is reported from Mo-
naco. NJ. Guerin, married man, forty
years of age, and father of family, ar
rived from Marseilles at the celebrated
headquarters of gambling; he at once
began to play, and soon lost $4,000.
Leaving the table, he proceeded to the
Hotel Beaurivage, where he was stay
ing, and Immediately afterward fired
pistol shot at his heart. The attempt
failed to kill him, but he inflicted such
wound as caused him to faint and lie in
sensible for some hours. On recovering
the use of his faculties he carefully load
ed the pistol, placed it in his mouth, and
fired once more The ball came out by
one of his eyes, and this time his agony
was such that his moans awoke his
neighbors in the house, who took steps
to convey the unfortunate man to hos
pitaL. There he made declaration be-
fore the representatives of the authori-

How the TelcphOne OperateS.

AS the telephone, the new invention
OF Professor A. Graham Bell, is but lit
lie understood, the following reprint of a
description and explanation of the instru-
ment may not be amiss:
The telephone in its present form con-
sists OF powerful compound, perma-
nent magnet, to the poles of which are
attached ordinary telegraph coils of insu-
lated wire. In front of the poles, sur-
rounded by these coils of wire, is placed
diaphragm of iron. A mouthpiece to
converge the sound upon this diaphragm
substantially completes the arrangement.
The motion of steel or iron in front of
the poles of magnet creates n current
of electricity in coils surrounding the
poles of the magnet, and in the duration
of this current of electricity comedies
with the duration of the motion of the
steel or iron moved or vibrated in the
proximity of the magnet. When the
human voice causes the diaphragm to vi
brate, electrical undulations are induced
in the coils environing the magnets pre-
cisely analogous to the undulations of
the air produced by that voice. These
coils are connected with the line wire,
which may be of any length, provided
the insulation be good. The undulations
which are induced in these coils travel
through the line wire, and, passing
through the coils of an instrument Of
precisely similar construction at the dis
tant station, are again resolved into air
undulations by the diaphragm of this
Leti0

The Coal Traffic.

The quantity of coal sent abroad by
Great Britain in 1876 was 16, 265, 800 tons,
besides 1864, ,524 tons shipped for the
use of steamers engaged in the foreign
trade. For use of British ships or
for foreign consumption, Great Britain
sends abroad more coal than this country
consumes of anthracite. But it does not
follow that we can compete for any large
part of this trade Great Britain sends
largely to countries which, by reason of
greater distance, we cannot hope to sup
ply. Last year it exported 1,182,39
tons to Russia, l, ,156, 1884 to Sweden and
Norway, III, 7,297 to Denmark, 2,271, ,901
to Germany, 47S,903 to Holland, $780,
500 to France, 1852, ,031 to Spain and the
Canaries, 1,226,2o5 to Italy, 294,214 to
Turkey, 543,66S to Egypt, 29s,S5S to
Malta, and 615, ,345 to British India. Con-
sidering the location of these countries,
and the superiority of Great Britain in
the carrying trade with them, it is not
probable that we could secure any large
part of their traffic in product as bulky
as coal. OF the entire British export
there remain only 1927, 1854 tons to Brazil
and 2,945, ,538 tons to "other countries"
not specified. As considerable part of
this must be to the West Indies and
South America, the portion of British
exports for which we may compete may
be roughly estimated at 100000 tons.
This quantity, though not large enough
to fill the present gap between produc-
ton and consumption, would make an
important difference if, by steady and
low prices, domestic use should be
brought nearer to the quantity which
the mines can now produce. Itwould pre-
vent the bankruptcy of many operators
and protect the market against the crush
ing influence of an unmarketable surplus
Of 100000 tons upon prices..-N y

A new peril besets the husbands of
married women in England. A wife
owns racehorse Oh which several mort
cages have been given, and suits for
settlement have been brought in court
against the wife and her husband. The
latter asked for dismissal OF the suit
against him, for he knew nothing of his
wifes racehorses. He was refused Oh
the ground of strict equity. He was told
that he was responsible for his wife's
acts, and if his wife sold or disposed
of the horse he would be constructively
liable for her contempt of court and have
to 90 to prison. If he chose to marry
woman who ran racehorses he must take
the consequences 1t is now thought
clause should be written in every mar
riage settlement by which a husband
will not be liable for the debts of horse
raing wife.

Publication of Wool.

The process, patented some time ago,
for the removal of straw, burrs, ETC.,
from wool, by treatment with sulphuric
acid, has been modified by Lisc rs fol-
lows The stuff is worked for one or two
hours in bath consisting of about
twenty-six gallons sulphuric acid, of
three deg. to six deg, one pound alum,
half pound salt, and $50 grains borax.
1t is then treated in centrifugal ma
chine, and afterward subjected to tenn
perature of 212 deg. to 248 deg. For
removal of the acid it is first washed with
pure water for an hour and half, then
treated for two hours with fuller's earth,
soda and lime, and finally washed for
two hours with fresh water. As sulphu-
ric acid can only be employed with un-
colored cloths, or such as have been
dyed with indigo, chloride of zinc and
chloride of manganese diluted to six deg.

Burc spots Under Trees.
To preserve handsome, rich lawn,
the trees must not be 80 close and dense
as to exclude entirely the SIMS rays
from the grass beneath them. But
where the foliage is so thick or abundant
as to cause bare spots, the difficulty may
be variously obviated. Orchard grass
grows we'll in shade, but it is too coarse
for lawns. June grass or Kentucky
blue grass, on the contrary, makes n
fine, soft, beautiful turf, and will also
grow we'll in n moderate shade after it
