in the apparatus which he seems 10 have failed to
eradicate.
Mr.. Edison, the electrician. has been experiment

a telephone apparatus with which every musical
note, from the lowest to the highest is transmitted
over several hundred miles of wire with perfect
curacy, and reproduced nearly as loudly originally
sung, and can be heard in all parts Of large hall.
The music notes are even swcetcr than the original,
sounding as il the song were sung by violin string.
lie has even succeeded in transmitting duet, and
can transmit and reproduce musical compositions
played by n number of wind instruments, each
player being provided with telephone rausIntter.
Mr. Edison's apparatus Is even simple and of

having one end covered with thin shrct-briss

his professional career with the important ad-

one OF the Oldest and best schools in Philadel-

the Philadelphia Dispensary, and for many
years attended also in the Hospital. In these
Institutions he enjoyed the most ample oppor-
tunities of obtaining an insight into diseases
in all their various forms, as well as ascertain
ing the best methods of their treatment. In
offering, therefore, to the people of the United
States the fruits of his extensive professional
experience in the medical compounds as the
best results of his skill and observation, he
feels that he is prohering boon to every fam
lily throughout the land, resting, as he does,

The fight between Gen. Gibbon and
the Nez Perces, or pierced-nose Indians
which was at first characterized by 8
portion Of the press as beinga reckless
act on the part OF that commander, is
now pronounced by Gen. Sheridan tt
have been q substantial success. d The
small command of one hundred and
eighty-two men is said to have infiict.
ed a severe, if not disastrous, punish.
ment on the hostile tribes, who have
been completely routed. There is nc
doubt but that Gen. Gibbon did the
best he could under the circumstances.
The old.fashioned rule in party riots OF
whenever you see head hitting it, is
the one which. so far As the Indisns are
concerned, has prevailed in the regular
army for years. 1t has always been
found impossible to meet the, Indians
on equal terms, so far as numbers are
concerned, and although theres-has
sometimes been a danger of disastrous
defeats such as ,befel Custer yet sol;
diers, however few, could nor afford/tO
wait for assistance from proposed reid.
fOrcements.A & - ~ -
The Nez Perces originally claimed a
large fertility on fhe Clearwater and
Lewis rivers. ut was chiefly com posed
of grazing Ian +, and afforded them,
selves and families ample subsistence.
On the Inauguration of treaty in 1854
the tribe was divided into the Treaty
and Den-Treaty Indians. The former
at once occupied their reservations,
built church and schools, adopted a
written language in which books were
printed, and devoted themselves to
agricultural pursuits The non-Treaty
Indians, on the contrary, have never
since that time settled down perma
neDtly in any location, but have led
roaming, hunting life, and have con-
tinually claimed that they were unjust
ly deprived of their lands. With the
advent of q mining population OF
whites and Chinese balesul influence
was soon felt on the reservation. !.
Drunkenness became common, the
lands which the semi-civilized portion
OF the tribe had cultivated were seized
by the settlersfa and frequent conflicts
arose. The.two factions joined tnem-
selves together, and the old savage ele-
ment soon asserted itself. There can
be but one opinion as to the result of
the present campaign, which is sure to
end in the forfeiture of the rights
granted by the treaty and the driving
of the marauders farther into the Wild
erness. The in roads which civilization
makes on barharism are silent, but
sure. And yet there is something sad
in the the thought that men who could
rise so far above savagery as to build
church and schools, and who knew the
ad yantages ofa printing press, should
ut last waste away and perish so ig-l
