the needle when the lamentations were
made. If the indentations are very
close together the vibrations of the
drum-skin will be very rapid, and the
note heard will be correspondence
high, and under contrary conditions
the note will be correspondingiy low.
The voice of the photograph III its
present state of perfection is that or a
person talking in loud voice in an
adjoining room with the door closed.
Any sound, no matter what, is faith
fully reproduced. Laughing, Whistling,
coughing, singing, and ordinary speak
ing. The invention is yeti in its infancy,
and what may be the improvements
which will speedily and probably fol-
low, it is impossible to say. Mr.. Edi-
son has already succeeded in making
the photograph sufficiently delicate to
record and reproduce the words Of a
speaker, talking in an ordinary way,
four feet from the instrument. The
power with which the sound can be
reproduced depends on the species of
sounding-board which is used, and on
this point more decided results will no
doubt soon be obtained. At present,
in large room full of persons, there
is no difficulty in hearing the words
distinctly from all parts of the room.
The amount of talk which can be re-
corded on q small piece Of tin-foil is
marvellous. MI. Edison has succeeded
in putting $4,000 words on sheet OF
tin-foil about ten inches square. So
far, thin copper sheets have been found
to work most satisfactorily, and it is
probable that diamond points will ul-
timately be used. Mr.. Edison is conf
dent that he will soon be able to repro
duce the slightest whisper as well as
the screech of a whistle.

KILL THE FISH YOU CATCH.

Charles HallOck, the accomplished
editor Of Forest and Stream, has very
humane and thoughtful article on this
subject. Not only because it is humane,
but because it improves the quality
and flavor of the fish, he urges upon
all anglers the duty Of killing all their
fish as they catch them. Many anglers
do this habitually; but all do not. We
subjoin an extract from Mr.. HalIock' s
article:
AS boys, we We're taught that fish
had no feeling, and we believed that
what might be cruelty to q dog was
harmless pastime as respects fish. But
autopsy and science have proved our
belief an error, and we discover that
contortions and gaspings are evidences
OF pain and distress, though we assume
that their nervous system is compare
lively OF low order. That fishes have
intelligence and can be taught; that
they have memory that they have dis
elimination and dlscernment; that
they possess the five senses, each to a
great or small degree; that they are to
limited extent sentient and reason
| ing creatures all these have become
evident. If it is ordained to us that
we are to derive sport from the pro-
longed apprehensions of the fish while
hooked mot from his bodily pain, for
the mere prick of the hook gives little,
and often none at alb, then let us ham
die him mercifully after his torment
| begins, and it begins after he is with
drawn from his native element. If he
is small. take him around the body
and considerably rap the top of his
head upon stone or the thWart of the
boat; if large, rap his head with a
heavy stick; or, what is more genteel
and to the point, pierce the ceryical
column at the base of the brain with a
sharp knife. This produces paralysis
and almost immediate death. 1t leaves
the corpse in shapely and seemly
condition. Admiration of its unbat-
tered beauty is added to the pleasure
of capture, and your fish remains a
proper subject for the market or the
studio. Brother anglers! learn to be
humane

DIR. & PROF. EVERHART'S
ACADEMY

On May 9th we received a postal
card letter of same date from Dr. Ev-
erhart asking us not to copy Sunday
Times relative to his boys school, say
ing it was not a fixed thing, that the
reporter was too fast.
Thinking that if DR.. Everhart did
not want the TELEGRAPH to copy a
notice of the Sunday Times relative to
his boys school he would not want it to
publish notice Of it's own relative to
the school, it has refrained till now to
say anything about the school, even to
the exclusion Of the locals notices of
it which were written. And notwith-
standing our compliance with what we
understood to be DR.. and and Prof.
Everhart's desire that we should pub
lish ne notice relative to the school till
it became fixed fact, neither Of them
has in any way given us notice that it
was determined to establish the school.
The TELEGRAPH owes it's readers and
the public an apology for not having
published any notice till now OF the
intended establishment of the school,
and the apology must be found in the
foregoing facts. And we hope DR.. and
Prof. Everhart will not think that the
TELEGRAPH has taken pains to avoid
saying any thing about their educa-
tional enterprise. 1t would have
given us much pleasure to have pub
lished notices of their intended enter
prise, but we must confess that ex~
Guiding them has given us some ur-
pleasantness.

Ellen Bishop, plaintiff in abreach of
promise case just tried in Tolland
Conn, is described as sd brunette with
pleasant, regular features and large
lustrous eyes, but evidently passing be-
yond the first bloom of young woman
hood" She is school teacher. George
B. Williams is ga goOd-looking, stall
wart farmer, with curly hair, sunburnt
face and long, tawny beard, and is ap-
preaching middle age" AS long ago
as 1870 these two began to keep com
pany after the Down East fashion,
sitting up" together until / or o'clock
at night about once week. In 1875
the courtship had progressed so far that
marriage was talked about, and in the
next year, Miss Bishop says, William
popped the question formally. She re-
members the occasion we'll, because
she then for the first time sat in his
lap and he for the first time kissed her.
She made preparations for wedding,
but the lover, who had already occu-
pied six years with courtship, was in
no geater hurry then. He postponed
the wedding day twice, and finally re-
fused to marry her at all. The jury
gave her verdict for 1000.

From Washington Letter.
THE BELLE OF WASHINGTON IN
"a SHORT DRESS.


The wife of the Spanish Minister re-
Gently walked in a jaunty short suit
down the avenue. 1t is the first time
the lady hes condescended to tread our
pavements, her carriage always being
ready day and night. The lady's new
feat of pedestrianism was caused by the
fact Of the new walking dress which
could be displayed in no other way. It
came only to the ankles, was made very
plain, kilt plated, of green velvet and
6oWrette, chip hat with q wreath of
hops, and amber necklace Of beads as
big as peaches, and translucent as sun
light Amber is to be the next rage
Egypt is being searched for the treas
ure which tradition calls the tears of
the wandering Helen, solicited and
turned to yellow diamonds, light as
air, yet solid as gem. Donna Mantil-
la soon goes to New York, and in May
will so to Europe for the Summer.
She holds her place of beauty, elegance
and taste at the head of all foreign la
dies in Washington. She is about 26
or Is years old, voluptuous iii form,
fascinating in manner, with teeth
white as pearls, eyes immense, liquid,
luscious, jetty fringed and has an old,
infatuated, stuffy, white-Whiskered
husband.

GOLD CERTIFICATES.

Outside Of commercial circles there
is very little knowledge among the peo-
pie OF the nature of gold certificates or
of the extent to which they are used IN
business transactions. The lowest de-
nomination of gold certificates issued
by the Treasury is 500 The holder
Of a gold certificate for $500, or a lar
ger amount, is entitled to receive for it
on demand in gold its full face value
at the Treasury or either of the sub
Treasures. The gold is always there
to meet the call. But as gold certifi-
Gates are easier and safer to handle
than gold, they are preferred, and are
extensively used in gold transactions.
A gold check or gold certificate is pa
per money convertible at pleasure into
golu at par value. When on the first
day of January next the resumption
act goes into operation, greenbacks will
become gold checks or certificates, prac-
tically, payable as gold checks and gold
certificates are now, and receivable for
customs dues and in other gold trans
actions.

THE ORIGIN OF CONSUMPTION.

THE ORIGIN OF CONSUMPTION.
In 1853, when Hanover and other
parts of Northern Germany were visit
ed by very malignant kind of small
poX, the great anatomist, Langenback,
tried to discover the popularity of or
ganic structure which dispOses one
man to catch the disease, while his
neighDor escapes" I have cut up
more human bodies than the odd Man
of the Mountain with all his accom-
plices," he writes from Gottingen, in
his semi tnnual report, sand speaking
only of my primary object, must con-
TESS that / am no wiser than before.
But, though the mystery of smallpox
has eluded my search, my labors have
not beensnvain; they have revealed
to me something else-the origin of
consumption. | am sure now Of what
| suspected long ago, namely: That
pulmonary diseases have very little to
do with intemperance or with erotic
excuses, and much less with cold
weather, but are nearly exclusively Gf
we except tuberculous tendencies in
herited from both parents, say quite
exclusively produced by the breathing
of foul air. The lungs of all persons,
miners included, who had worked for
some years in close workshops and
dusty factories, showed the germs Of
the fatal disease, while confirmed inc
briates, who had passed their days in
open air, had preserved their respirato-
ry organs intact, whatever inroads
their excuses had made on the rest of
their system. If I should go into
practice and undertake the cure of a
consumptive, should begin by driving
him out into the Deister Ca densely
wooded mountain range of Hanover),
and prevent him entering house for
year or two"

CHEAP LIVING.

How to cook so as to make clean,
savory dishes is quite as important as
to know what food to purchase, and in
what manner it is to be cooked so as
to secure the greatest amount Of susie
nance for the least money; but that is
chiefly to be learned by experience.
The bill Of fare which Miss Corson,
the New York philanthropist, publish
es in her pamphlet on this subject will
undoubtedly show something new to
many people now pinched for want Of
sufficient food. One direction is as
follows, for family of five:
Monday there is boiled rice and
milk for breakfast, corned beef and
cabbage for dinner, and peas boiled in
stock for supper. That days food
costs IS cents. Tuesday. broth and
bread for breakfast, costing 10 cents;
for dinner, baked beans; supper, mac
aroni and cheese Wednesday there is
toasted bread and scalded milk for
breakfast, stewed tripe for dinner, and
polenta for supper. Thursday, rice
panada for breakfast, salt potaufeu
for dinner, and lehtils steWed in stock
for supper. Friday, broth and bread
for breakfast, mutton and turnips for
dinner, and barley boiled in broth for
supper Saturday, mutton broth and
bread for breakfast, beef and potatoes
for dinner, and beans boiled in broth
for supper. Sundays. fare costs 81
cents, and includes breakfast of cocoa,
breaQ and fried lentils, dinner of bean
broth, haslet stew and suet roly-poly
pudding, and supper Of cheese pudding.
For the week that makes total ex-
pense of $2.53, and leaves balance on
my estimate of 81 cents for extra
bread, milk and butter"

Bookkeeping was not reckoned one

doorkeepers were BON, grew up, tend

Gratis found to their amazement that
bookkeeping is something more than
every Democrat can do, and after try

matter to run the United States Gov
eminent in all it's branches. They

lieve that they might nevertheless
swallow a dormitory with perfect ease.

Tribunal of 1867 was a scheme of
