Mr.. Thomson A. Edison, q we'll
known electrician OF Newark, N. j.,
claims TO have invented (0ut not
vet fully perfected) an instrument
which he calls the Monograph, By
means of which human speech can
be permanently registered and re-
produced with every tone exactly
as uttered, at any future time. The
instrument is not unlike the tele-
phone in construction, and the VII
Drations of 8 metallic diaphragm
causes TO be permanently impressed
upon an unWinding strip of paper,
various fluctuations, somewhat af-
ter the manner of telegraphic mes-
sages. these indented slips bear
Ing the Photographic record of the
words uttered, are then run through
what is termed reproductor, very
simple in principle to the fret spa-
ratus, and this causes the vibration
of another diaphragm to CORES
pond to the fluctuations on the
paper, reproducing exactly the orig
inal tones OF the speaker. Mr.. Edi-
son has SO far experimental upon
his invention as to feel confident Of
its practical utility, and expects soon
to be able to put 1t to public test.
The wonderful possibilities of this
invention, by which the actual tones
OF q great orator or singer, or of q
dear parent or friend, can be trans
mitted TO posterity, render it the
browning discovery of this sge OF
scientific progress.

Pearls of rhOught.

You whisper OF what might have been,
You sigh OF long past days.
The trial is not fair where affection
is judge.
Vows made in storms are forgotten
In Gains.
What men are deficient in reason,
they usually make up in rage.
The heart Is crystal palace-if once
broken, 1t can never be mended.
To keep your secret is wisdom, but
to expect others to keep it is Tolly.
Life Is duty, and one ought to de-
sire It's preservation.
The most dangerous of all flaitery is
the very common kind that we bestow
upon ourselves.
Idleness Is the dead sea that swaI-
lows up all virtues, and is the self
made sepulchre of a living man.
Scion being asked why, among his
laws there was not one against person.
nj aIfronts, answered that he could not
believe the world so fantastical as to
regard them.
There is an old German proverb to
the effect that q great war leaves the
country with three armies-an army OF
cripples, an army of mourners, and an
army of thieves.
Honor and Justice, reason and edui
ty, go great way in procuring pros
perity to those who use them; and, In
case of failure, they secure the best re-
treat and the most honorable consola-
ton.
A good book and good woman are
good things for those who know how
tojustly appreciate their value. There
are men, however, who Judge of both
by the beauty of their covering.
Whoever sincerely endeavors 70 &c
all the good he can, will probably do
much more than he imagines, or will
ever know to the day of judgment,
when the secrets Of all hearts shall be
made manifest.

Hall and the wounding of a youug
man bF the name of Youngkin. From
the best information we can gather
there had been an unfriendly feeling
existing between Hall and Youngkin
Tor sometime past, and they had one
or more quarrels. The old quarrel
was renewed in some way YESTERDAY.
aad Hall got his pistol and started to-
wards the depot building from his store.

As he approached the depot both the
parties fired, the shots being very
nearly at the same instant. At the
crack OF the pistols both parties fell.
Hall was struck In the groin near the
naval, and 9oungkin near the same
place. Halls wound was fatal, produc,
ing death in very short time, and it
was AT first thought Youngkin would
die. but at last accounts it was thought
that his wound was not necessarily ia
tad. County Attorney Cowles went
down 10 attend the inquest to be held
