Before the present political crisis
Republicans were never known to
fawn upon their enemies but they
have at last been reduced to the
commission of that meanHess, as all
men must who begin by the per-
petration of crimes. The sudden
affection which they have conceived
for the people of the South is some,
thing wonderful, and they exhibit
it with a gushing exnberance that
would do creGit to Judas. Their
hearts have become so soft as cnrds
from the milk of the goats of
Basham, ard their speech as sweet
as the honey of Engaddi. Their
admiration for Lamar's eloquenco
is like that of British tutt hurter
for lords wit. Their sollcitnde
for the good opinion of Hampton
is as assiduous AS that of spcnd~
thrift for the favor of rich relative.
Their loud profession of delight in
the success of Ben Hill is Ike the
ostentatious fiattery of a bully pay
ing tribute to the prowress of man
who has beaten him. Their sudden
charity for unrepentant rebels and
Confederate brigadiers is thing

whimsical in its effect as to be be-
vond all comparison. They are full
of schemes for the prosperity of the
South they denounce the misrnfo

they make as many promises OF

PAPER FOR BU1LDING.-Paper

and as paper is non-conductor of
heat and cold. In case of fire the
paper sheets donot burn so easily as
wood on account of their solidlty.--
THIS queer building material works
admirably in all conditions and
circumstances. The uses to which
paper is now applied is for paper

and floors OF buildings, tarred sheet

NEARING TIE SHORE.

An old man sits in worn arm chair,
White as the snow is his thin, white hair,
Furrowed his cheek by time and care, 2

And, happily smiling. dreams over again

Dreams all with vision clear.

And down in the starry eyes he can trace
A love remembered and dear.

But lis pleasant to think it Ger:
That youth was so sweet, but now it is
past,
Those days OF youth were too precious to
last,
But over yonder their pleasures are cast,
And am nearing that Shore"
He is gliding along in his little boat;
Ger the calm, still water they peacefully
float.
But echo full soft brings well-known
note.
From the land he has left behind.
But time will row back for him no more
And he glides away to that other shore.
And knows when the voyage of life shall
be Ger
That his dream beyond he will find.
That seed of youth which in outh we SOW
Adown through the aisles of the future
will grow
And shed on age beautiful glow,
As they come in memory's CLEANS.
Loved faces will come to dimming sight !;
Sweet words will echo in day-4lreams

And circle old age with halos of light
AS they mingle i'll beautiful dreams.

THE TELEPHONE.
A DESCRIPTION OF TIE WONDERFUL
NEW INVENTION.

It appears that Salem, Massa-
C h u t t s eople h ave
been specially concerned in the pur-
suit of this investi9 alton. The fact
that electricity, In passing through
magnetic helix, or coil Of wire, is pro-
ductivc of sound, was first discovered
by Professor Charles G. Page, of this
place. as long ago as 1887. His Oh
servations were published, and, as he
was man of large attachments, his
experiments attracted attention at
horpe and abroad. Other scientists
became interested in the same line of
investigation. among them the late
Colonel Francis Peabody, Of Salem.
The fact. therefore, that sound could
be conveyed electrically to consider
able distances has been known for
some time, and the nature of the ex-
periments Herewith was Shown on
Monday evening, in various ways, no.
tabiv by the transmission from Boston
to Lyceum Hall of a telegraphic mes
sage, which announced itself, not by
the usual dots and lines Of tclegraphy.
but by sounds Of different lengths
This was very interesting expert,
ment.
But it remained for Professor Bell
| to discover that articulate sounds can
be conveyed by the electrical current.
This he has done during his residence
in Salem. Professor Bell is Scotch
man by birth, and is engage! in teach
ing in the state Institution for the
genius system oc "visib!e speech" OF
which he was the inventor. Associa-
ted with him in his telephone expert
ment IS Mr.. Thomas A. Watson, o.
Salem, to whom he expressed. his obli'
cations for valuable assistance.
The apparatus by which the aston.
ishing result is secured is wonderfully
simple. Only a telegraph wire, {

ask any one of your neighbors, or friends,
why he carries that Buckeye in his pocket,

him of the Piles OF TO prevent his having
the diseases; that it has virtues peculiar to
this disease, and that they can be utilized
