HE PHoNoGRAPH-Ths wonderful talking ma
chine was exhibited at the Court House. Tuesday
evening. 1t was very poorly patronized, owing We
suppose, to the neglect to have a nigger show at
taehed But those who failed to attend missed the
opportunity Of seeing the first practical working of
machine that is destined to perform wonders. 49,
Inns machine is more simple than q sausage grind
CT AFTER reading the exaggerated accounts of it in
tne Eastern papers, one is somewhat disappointed,
ior 1t does not perform the promiscuous talking and
singing that it has been reported do But it talks
SINGS and whistles 1t is necessary to speak the
words desired to be repeated, very loudly and dis
unctly. They were returned by the instrument in
cultural and smothered tone, sometimes very dis

stood Whistling is repeated more distinctly than
any other sound. By some popularity, sharp and
Missing sounds seem to be best adapted to it. The
operator repeated the old rhyme about the missioa-
ry at Timbuctoo, and the cassowary eating him and
his hymn book. too. The words missionary and cas-
sowary came back with remarkable distinctness.
At present, this machine only serves to show that
machine can be made to talk. Having discovered
the hrst principles, improvements will now go IN

have predicted for it.
The instrument is in charge of Mr.. Sargent. C. w.
Johnson of Atchison, is assisting him. 1t will be ex-
hibited at White Cloud the ith Falls City on the

but those who 60 to hear it, must not expect from it
language as perfect and distinct as an orators, or
any other sound as perfect as nature.

CONVICTION, NJ, May 81.
There has not been for many years, in this country
such a general complaint about ehills and fever.
This depressing disease is now prevailing IN many
portions of Kentucky and elsewhere, where the peo
nile have long attered themselves that they were en-
tirely exempt from its influence. To those who are
thus afflicted, we wish to recommend Smiths 1o"e
Syrup believing it to be the very best remedy ex-
tant Every one We have heard ofusng it, pronounc-
es upon it in the very highest terms We have late
ly used it in our family with marked success. Inc
ingredients are simple, and the Tonic can be used
freely without any detrment to the constitution what
eyer. If the directions, which always accompany ev-
ery bottle, are carefully followed, it will in nine ca
sea out of ten result in permanent cure whether the
disease be of long short standing.
We take pleasure in recommending this medicine

A PrinceIy Donation.

The ups and downs of mining and
mining camps was illustrated forcibly
to us yesterday, by our friend Colonel
Sabin, who, with the generosity that is
a leading attribute of his character, be-
slowed upon us the munifcent present
OF 800 shares OF stock-not of Eureka
Consolidated, as our readers might
have anticipated by the first-class com
plinent that we preluded this notice
Without, instead, 500 shares of the
Red Cloud Mining Company, Of Ely
District, Nevada. Their nominal value,
as stamped upon the certificate, is
1000, but, unfortunately for us,
although the figures stare us in the
face, their real worth is confined to the
value of the paper on which they are
printed, and that is infinitesimal. At
one time this company had a real ex-
%isteDce, owned a mine adjoining the
Alps ground at Phoebe, and the stock
was quoted at 50 per share. Now, like
ten thousand other similar locations in
the State of Nevada, it has passed out
of existence, and is remembered no
more of man, unless called to mind by
the finding of a rustling certificate, un
earthed from some forgotten nook or
corner It's history is the history of
numberless enterprises projected by
sanguine men, brought forth in the
whirl of excitement, and begotten of
the spirit of speculation that runs riot
in every new camp, its marketable
value based on its contiguity to some
rich mine, or the presence of a wheel
barrow full of groupings, and after a
limited period, dropping quietly out of
existence, as the mines aud district fall
to decay. Nevertheless, we are CRATE
full TO the gallant Colonel for the gift.
People have teen struck by lightning,
and Red Cloud may emerge from the
black cloud that obscures its merits,
and take rank with the Bonanzas. In
the meantime u acquisition has not
made us the least bit proud, and we
respond to an Invitation to drink or
smoke with the same alacrity that
always characterized us when we were
poor and had no mining stock.

Fun at the Faro Banks.

The Virginia Chronicle says that it is
noticeable that every month about pay.
day time, a more respectable class OF
men than usual put in an appearance
at the rooms OF the faro games. These
are business men who come to spot"
delinquent customers, who prefer to
gamble off their earnings than to pay
their debts, and making them settle
while they are in funds. The Chronicle
says An Incident like this occurred at
one of the games the other day: A
restaurant keeper went into a faro
room and found a man who was in ar
rears to him for three months board,
sitting at the table with a st ack of red
chips piled up in front of him. The
creditor siezed the chips, and passing
them ove to the dealer, demanded
that they be cashed on the spot. The
dealer refused to do this without the
players permission. and the restaurant
man remarked: "Order those checks
cashed, or I'll punch your head" The
player comprehended the situation, the
chips were cashed and the restaurant
man walked off with the money.

Jack S%tinson, an old teamster of this
region, was severely injured by a kick
from a playful mule, while coming in
to town on the Typo road. A trace
became loosened, and while regulating
it the animal reached out with his hind
leg, and landed Jack over on the hill
side, 20 feet from his prior position.
He was struck in the side, and feared at
first that he was a gone muleteer, but
managed to crawl into the wagon,
where he remained until arriving in
town, a man whom he had picked up
by the roadside and given a free ride,
plotting the team To Eureka. On his
arrival it was found that two of his ribs
were broken, that being the extent of
the damage sustained. He will lay off
for a trip or two and mediate on the
force and vigor when in action of the
rear portion of that hybrid species.

who left Piper's Opera House a week
ago Saturday. During the time they
had possession of the dressing-rooms,
they covered the walls with obscene
charcoal sketches. Some of these
drawings were simply beastly, and
gave a disgusting proof of the depths
of degradation to which foul minded
women can sink. The day after they
left, Mr.. Piper was forced to whitewash
the walls before the ladies' of Mr..
Byron's combination and the regular
could be admitted.

Judging by the number of buildings
going up in every quarter of the town,
Eureka must be receiving a large &C
cession to its population. Improve
ments are not confined to any particu-
lar section, although that portion west
of the Metamoras furnace and along
the line of the railroad seems to be set
thing up faster than any other place,
We counted yesterday thi%rty-one new
residences under way, and did not in
clude more than half of the town in

has increased 900 since last Septem.
Der, and we are receiving large adj

An Able Brief.

The brief of the appellant in the case
of Kate Gleason vs.. the Martin White
Company, a case now pending in the
Supreme Court, and one about which
much interest is felt in Eastern Ne
vada. This brief, by Mr.. Henry X.
Mitchell, of counsel for appellant, is a
very able one and the principal
points claimed are that APPELLANTS To-
cstion-September 8, lS72-was valid;
that the first location OF respondent
July Is, lS72-was abandoned; that
the acts performed by respondent in
October, 1872, did not constitute a loca-
ton. and that the Act of Congress of
May 10, 1872, does moi contem plate the
location of veins or lodes as such, but a
piece of land not exceeding 600 feet by
800 feet, containing mineral veins, the
apex of which is within the boundaries
of the land located.

Auction Sale.

Geo. A. Davis, will sell at auction
to-day an eligible piece of real estate,
situated on Spring street, the same
consisting of a lot, and cosy residence
thereon, it being the late residence of
Joe Toomey. 1t is a most comfortable
dwelling, and is located in one of the
most desirable parts of the town. He
will also, at the same time, sell the
household furniture, and we have no
doubt that those attending the auction
will procure some good bargains.
George is confident of that latter fact,
for he so informed US yesterday, and
his veracity is unimpeachable.

Spring Goods.

There is an immense rush to the
New York Store, a fact that is account
ed for by the large consignments OF
spring and summer goods just received
and displayed at that establishment.
Every style and variety of articles that
go to make up the bewildering toilets
of the ladies can be found there in i'm.
mense p%rofusion. In consequence of
which state of affairs, the store is
thronged from early morn until dewey
eve. with fair customers. 1t is unne-
cessary on our part to advise the sex to
call at the establishment, as they will,
without any suggestions on our part.

Lead.

Our advices from New York show
small sales of lead, but the market is
very weak, owing to a lack of demand.
The prices have ranged at from 50 so
to So S7R per hundred, most of the
transactions taking place at the former
figure. A lot of 1000 tons. from the
Sslby smelling works of San Francisco,
contributed mostly from Eureka Dis
trict, had been received, and absorbed
by dealers at private rates. There is a
tendency for our lead to seek a market
in China, and the Richmond output is
being shipped to that point. At pres
ent rates we can undersell England in
that market, and supply the demand,
which averages about l6, 900 ions per
year. The outlook for higher prices is
very gloomy, and there is but little
hope of any Improvement for some
time to come.
