An extraordinary pen has been
patented in England and France.
1t writes with water. The nib has
some peculiar property by which
the water is instantly changed into
first class ink; and as the pen can
be made as cheaply as ordinary
steel pens, and will last as long, the
invention will probably be success

The Courier Journal says
Should Mr.. Morton not recover, aud
should Democratic Senators be ad-
mitted from Louisiana and South
Carolina, the Republicans would
have a majority OF only two In the
Senate, Judge Davis being counted

Republicans would be lost by the
death Of the Senator from Indiana.

Pay no attention to slanderers and
gossip Keep straight on in
YOUR course, and let their bAckbiting die
the death of neglect. What is the use
of living awake at nights, broodlng over
the remark of some false friend, that runs
through your brain like lightning! What
is the use OF getting into worry and fret
over gossip that has been set af1oat to
your disadvantage, by some meddlesome
busybody who has more time than char
acter? The things cannot possibly inJure
you, unless, indeed, you take notice OF
them, and in combating them, give them
standing and character. If what ls\ SAID
about you is true, set yourself right; If
it is false, let it 90 for what it will fetch
If bee sting you, would you go to the
hive to destroy it? Would not a thous-
and come upon you? 1t is wisdom to say
little respecting the injuries you have re
ceived. We are generally losers in the
end, if we stop to refute all the back
biting and gossiping we may hear by the
way. They are annoying, 1t IS true, but
not dangerous, so long as we do not stop
to expostulate and scold. Our characters
are formed and sustained by ourselves,
by our own actions and purposes, and not
by others. Let us always bear in mind
| that "cnIumniators may usually be trust
ed to time and the slow but steady justice
of public opinion"

The TeIeph in "A Nutshell

The New York World explains, in a
way that any one should be able to com
prehend, the telephone in its simplest
construction, as now exhibited in New
York, thus: The telephone is operated
entirely without the use of galvanic
battery, being thus simplitied to the last
degree. 1t is in appearance pear shap-
ed piece of mahogany, with an orltice at
the large end and with a flexible silk
covered wire emerging from the small
end. Being opened, it is seen to consist
of powerful steel magnet running near
ly through the instrument !engthwlse,
and wound with a coil of fine Insulated
wire which is connected with the line.
In front of this magnetic, but not in con
tact with it, is disk of soft thin iron.
The voice strikes against this disk and
causes it to vibrate, and as 1t approaches
and recedes from the magnet current
of electricity is generated in accordance
with well known law. This current
passes over the wire and attracts and re
pels the disk in the telephone attached
to the other end of the line, this same
simple instrument being used in sending
and receiving messages, or rather IN talk
ing and listening.
''This is the whole apparatus; but at
the head Office of the company they have
some simple switches and an attachment
for attracting attention by means of an
electric bell, the electricity being gener-
ated by magnet as is the case with the
/ telephone. By attaching any number
of telephones to the line as many PEG
pie can hear the message spoken at the
other end.
''Attracting the attention of the gen
tleman at the Broad street office, the re
porter was directed to apply the instru-
ment to his ear while conversation wa;
held between the two points. A roar
ing sound like that perceptible when a
shell is applied to the ear was all tina
was noticeable at first. Then voice
was distinctly audible, saying, 81 hope
the gentleman is pleased with the work
ing of the instrument The voice sound
ed exactly as if the words had been spO
} ken from the floor below through an or
binary speaking tube. The roaring
noise, it was explained, was the noise OF
the street which the wire picked up OIL
its way between the two points.

nection with the office of Broadway an'
