. Of the victims, the flesh having most
~ perished, but now and then a
little tuft Of mouldy hair has been
found clinging to the skull. The
position of the bodies in every pos

violent death, one of agony and

HE PHoNoGRApH AS AN OpERAT1c
AGENT. - The New York Sun has
been interviewing Edison. "Kiralfy,
the actor, was here last week." said
the Professor. "He was in costa
cies over the phoncgraph. He wants
me to make him forty or fifty large
cylinders, which he proposes to take
to Paris. After securing the finest
musical performers, each one will
be invited to play into different dia-
phrams, and the notes are to be re-
corded by the cylinders. The great
est prima donnas, tenors, contraltos
and bassos are to sing, and their
words and melody transcribed by
the phonograph. After securing
copper matrices, Kiralfy proposes to
bring tho cylinders to this city and
put them on the stage at the Acad-
emy of Music. They can be run
by Baxter engine q whole evening
with fifteen cents worth of coal,
and the opera given as produced in
Paris without musician or a canta-
trice. What do you think of that
Only imagine the orders that would

The PHoNcaRApH. The phono-
graph will undoubtedly prove a val
liable invention, but it must be con-
fessed it has it's tragic side. The fact
is, it is going to prove a universal
eavesdropper and tell some things
which had better be kept secret.
Suppose, for instance, that it re-
cords the tender vows which lovers
whisper, the baby talk of the first
years of married life, and that these
records are compared with the un-
romantic prose of after time, when
the dinner is late or the steak over
done or the husband returns in the
small hours from the club. Sup
pose, again, that two visitors in the
parlor are commenting on the lady
of the house before she makes her
appearance, and then changing their
tones to the most delicate fattery as
she enters, and that in the midst of
the call the stentorian phonograph
repeats the criticism. The trouble
with that instrument is that its ears
are too long, and that it can't hold
it's tongue. It knows how to speak
but not how 70 be dumb. We must
either reform or abolish the new in
ventiOn.

" There's a knot there, and you see

and 6ercely, and the undertaken fell

the case away.
We'll, you will pack it in ice for
that, I suppose?" said the generous,
grief-stricken parent.
Great grave clothes, no! It will
cost So to pack it in ice at the lowest
figure"
Hostilities were resumed, and the
fight waxed hot, but the threat of
seeking another coffin dealer forced
the undertaken back to SIS for coffin
and packing.
{" Well" said the poor sufferer,
I" I'm too poor to luxuriate in ice,

man.
Mildly and logically the parent
put it: " You gave me the coffin and

that makes the coffin $40 SO. If

Hung Lung, the Captain of the
nine, informed the reporter that the
game Of baseball had been played
in China for over nine hundred
years, but during the past century
inteflbt in it has in q measure died

" Th1 Bold" king who died in the

guests made merry, and the evening
was devoted to a grand illumination
and discharge of fireworks, in honor
Of the victors, who ate at the royal
