Edison 0uido'ng Himself

"1he Telescopophone is the
name of Mr.. Edison's latest inven-
tion. 1t is simply a marvellous
ear trumpet, upon The construction
of which Mr.. Edison has been
working for several months. Mr..
Edison's attention was attracted
to the subject by his own deafness.
He is enabled to hear only when
the speaker ernunciates in loud
tone. Mr.. Edison Is 10th to de
scribe the Telescopophone except
generally, as 1t is not completed,
and is to be patented. The imple-
ment is about five and II half feet
long, and has an internal arrange
ment by which sound is concen-
trated aud made louder. A sound
which to the unaided ear is maud
ible, becomes distinct by the use of
the Telescopophone. Concerning
it Mr.. Edison said:
"rhe Telescopophone is assuredly
successful. l have demonstrated d
that by its use not only can those
partly deaf hear, but persons can
talk while mile or two apart.u
AShp Wv ilOO ObuCl bOuuoS
mingle-sounds intervening be.
tween the speaker and the hear
er?'
Certainly they do to limited
extent, and more SO If the iustru.
ments are not pointed straight"
"How do you remedy that?"
"Why, you must point 'em
straight. The same objection could
be made to telescope. If you don't
point it straight you see other OBJ
jects than the one intended! But,
when the telescopophone is pointed
directly at the distant speaker with
telescopic exactness, the voice OF
the speaker is the chief thing
heard.n
"Does it increase the volume of
sound?"
~ have whispered in one of
these things in very low tone,
and the sound in my ear was 80
loud as to be absolutely painful"
Mr. Edison expressed the fullest
confidence that he would perfec
the telescopophone so that by its
aid partly deaf persons may hear
every whisper on the stage of the
largest theatre.
A gentleman who heard expert
ments with the telescopophone
said that MFR. Edison heard dis.
tinctly the ticking of a telegraph
instrument thousand feet away,
and even the noise of the chewing
aud biting of grass by COW nearly
two thousand feet distant.
One of the party then stood 600
feet away, and his whisper was
distinctly heard, although Mr..
Bachelor, standing only fifteen
feet from him, without the aid OF
the telescopophone, could not hea L
word.
Then the party tried a more
striking experiments Two of them
went at least mile Off and talked
to each other in an ordinary tone
of voice. Even at that distance or
dinsry conversation was distinctly
heard without q speaking. tube,
without any wire or electrical ap.
paratus, but simply by the aid of
the new ear trumpet telescope
phone. W
But, ey01A this was surpassed by
the next pertinent, which was at
a distance estimated at two miles.
From that point the ordiIary tone
of voice could not be heard, and
shouting was necessary, yet the
new ear trumpet did its work, and
the hearing was repeated as before.
Nov, Mr.. Eddison, what next?"
"Oa," said Mr.. Eddison with one
of those hearty bursts of laughter
that he SO often INDUCES in, "I've
not got to the end yet."

resentatives, .cr hat it is
not the design, nor W. he pur-
view of the powers, OF th~ Forty.
fifth Congress to question the
validity of Hayes's title, has done
an entirely unnecessary and un-
manly thing. 1t has yielded to q
silly clamor proceeding from the
Republican party and from such of
its Southern allies as do not see
that the most fatal thing that
could happen to the Democratic
party, which does not own most of
the bonds and property of the
United States, is to allow it to be
seen that a little noise and buster
can frighten it from its champion
ship of the will of the people. We
are pleased to see that Gen. Benja.
min +. Butler scouts the Infamous
preteuce that the action of the
Electoral Commission was q final
settlement of the Presidential con-
troversy. Gen. Butler goes over
the ground repeatedly trayersed by
US in the HERALD, and points to
the sixth section of the Electoral
bill as a crushing rejoinder to any
such bald pretence. He regards it
as an insult to any intelligent man
to attempt to put such an interpre-
dnt.on on the Electoral compro-
mise. On the Democratic side of
the House, Representative SPRING
er stated that question exactly
right when he said, 10 voting

resolution which, to our deep re-
gret, passed the Democratic Lower

ing the Presidents title, which are
illegal, unconstitutional, or revo-
lutionary. If the title of the pres.
ent incumbent is valid and mas
sailable, it needs no action of Con-
gress to quiet it; if, cn the contra
ry, it is fraudulent, and an investi-
eating Committee of the House
should so find and report, it would
be dishonorable on our part to at.
tempt to make it good or declare
by bill or resolution it was sacred.

While every one must rejoice at

vious high character and good re.
pute dragged down by apparent or

Senator Matthews allowed A der

Sherman gave an uncertain an

sentiment at the thought of dis
credit cast on the country by the
imputation meekly accepted by
him which all honorable men felt.'
When men high in place and DOW
er are found to stoop to dirty in
trigues and coDsort with common
scoundrels, forgers and reriurers,
such as some of the Louisiana Re-
publicans are proved to be, they
bring disgrace not merely on
themselves, but on the country.
We were bitterly disappointed,
therefore, when Secretary Sher-
man did not deny writing the al
legged letter, as we had reason to
believe he would. And while we
have not the remotest thought
that President Hayes has been in.
voived in such matters, he ought
to know that the persistent and
abundant favor he has shown to

Of the Republican press since the

Some few of them, however, when

Berlin was blaze of splondor
on, the 18th of February on the
occasion Of the double wedding of
two grand. daughters Of Emperor
William to the Dukes of Sake
Meiningen and of Oldonburg. At
the wedding the traditional dance
of the ministers with tiambeaus
took place, Prince Bismarck Lead
ing the dance. In the procession
round the floor, tho hereditary
Prince of Meiningen, leading the
Princess Charlotte, precoded the
hereditary Grand Duke of Oldon-
burg and tho Princess Elizabeth.
There is little story about this
procedure. Oldenburg in tho hier-
archy Of German sovereignties
ranks Sake Meiningen, but the
Oldenburg Prince only marries the
daughter of the future Emperor's
brother, while the Meiningen Prince
marries the daughter of the future
Emperor. Of course very nico
little question of precedence arose
which might have been the acorn
for an oak of trouble ; but tho
reigning Grand Duke Peter of
Oldenburg, being q sensible man,
opposed TO scenes, told his son to
give way without word. This
daughter Of the Grown Prince is
known to the German world rs 'die
dicke Charlotte" tho fat Charlotte,
an affectionate nickname, never
meant irreverently, given to her in
childhood when the Princess re-
sembled the traditional type of
German neddcheae. She is tho

motherly looking little woman,
simply dressed, with a pleasing but
not beautiful face, frank, winsome

brown hair is brushed smoothly
back and wound into knot. She

contour, and through her grand
mother Victoria while from her
father she inherits much of his
attractive, open manner, neither
stiff nor over free. AS she walked
beside her accepted husband she
glanced shyly and furtively at the
staring crowd, and bowed graceful /

salptations which greeted her. She
looks older than her age, which is
eighteen. Her full name is Victo-
