Mr.. Edison expresses himself extremely
gratifed with so distinguished a confirmation
Of the views developed by his experiments. He
explained, on Monday last, to a reporter of
the New York Herald, that his last inven-
ton, by which he measures the intensity OF
electric force transmitted as a house meter
measures the amount of gas passing through
it, will assist in completing his invention
which is to take the place of gaslight. He
also stated that his electric light is now fully
completed, as light, and although it is al
ready produced at less than the expense OF
gas, he is sure that it can be made very much
less expensive still, and it Is upon this point
he is now experimenting. He expects the
cost of his light to be very greatly less than
that of gas; few weeks, perhaps, may de-
termine how much. On being reminded of
the objection made to his system by SCENT
lists, he.-replied:
1.-The scientific men base their assertions on a
wellknown rule of electric light, which Is that the
Intensity Of the light increases TO the square or the
current On this they readily figure an enormous
ioss IN the subdivision. but fortunately, continued
the inventor after a pause, as MS lace assumed a
broader smile. there Is another law which IS not
known to these scientific gentlemen, which Law, II
csItain conditions are brought about, compensateS
for the loss sustained by the first Law. These con-
uitlons are exceeoingly difficult to obtain but have

H INEVITABLE.

There are a good many Democrats
who would prefer a Western man as
the standard bearer of their party in
the next Presidential race. We have
serious doubt about this desire being
gratifed. The argument that Mr..
Tilden was swindled out Of the great
Office will cut a powerful figure in the
next national convention. Tho Cleav-
land Haindedler says it is a sure thing
that Mr.. Tilden will be renominated.
That journal adds: The Returning
Boards of Florida and Louisiana "laid
the wires" for MI. Tilden's nomina-
ton in 1880. Mr.. Tilden is an entirely
involuntary agent of the Democratic
sentiment of the country. He is the
victim of the worst political crime ever
perpetrated and the Democracy, from
the very force of justice and logic. will
be forced to renominate him, and set
him down in the White House, from
the rightful possession of which he
was dispossessed by a gang of Grimm.

R0YER,s LAST LETTER.

A reporter of the Virginia Chronicle
was at Reno to witness the execution of
Rover. At noon on the day preceding
the execution, the reporter, accompa-
MED by Isaac M. Chamberlain, the
Jailer, visited Rover in his cell. When
the cell door was opened Rover was
lying on his blankets, tossing restlessly
from side to side. Noticing the reporter,
he raised himself on his elbow and
stared wildly about, until the Jailer
handed him a letter, saving, From
Josephine" Rover took the letter in
his hand, and for a moment seemed
not to understand what had been said,
but after CHANGING at the letter he threw
himself back on his pallet, and over
ing his head with the blankets, broke
down completely, his whole frame be.
ing shaken with wild, convulsive sobs.
The letter that had been given him was
from a married sister living in New
York City. The Jailer said that this
was the first time since his arrest that
Rover had in any way weakened, or
allowed his hopeful manne to give
way to expressions Of grief or terror.
A few moments after his first oulburSt
of sobs he cried out:
"My God! Oh, that letter! Why did
that ever come? Josephine, the dear
est one of the family! this will break
her heart! Oh, that letter! that-thdt
will drive me crazy. Kill me! kill me,
and end this awful misery!"
The mans grief and expressions of
terror and remorse were most painful
to witness. Mr.. Chamberlain, who
has had immediate charge OF the pris-
oner since the final sentence, seemed
to be deeply moved by the sudden and
most unexpected change in the con-
demned mans actions. For a long
time Rover would listen to nothing
said to him, and refused to converse
with the reporter or any of the many
others who called to see him. AS the
reporter left the cell, two physicians
entered and remained with him some
time, examining him, as subsequent
events proved, as to his sanity.
For nearly two hours after the re-
ceipt of the letter, Rover appeared to
be perfectly wild with an overpower.
ing terror of the event Of o.day, the
nearness of which he at that time, for
the first time, seemed to thoroughly
realize.

Taking the case of Rover as a text,
the Carson Tribune devotes a leading
editorial to the subject of capital pun
ishment. We cannot agree with the
conclusions of that journal in all re-
spects. We believe in hanging in cases
where the killing is willful and premed-
itated, and where there is no possible
doubt of guilt. In other cases solitary
confinement should be the rule, ac-
cording to the degree of the crime.
The Tribune puts its side OF the case
forcibly as follows:
We have long argued that solitary
confinement for life, without hope OF
reprieve (unless circumstances should
come to light proving the prisoners
innocence), is the only fit and proper
punishment for a cold-blooded muir
derer. Shut out from his kind and
left to brood over what he might have
been and what he is, is, in our estima-
ton, a fit reward for the comrnissien
of a deliberate murder. Men are in
their hearts murderers; this fact has
been proven by history. The boy
who delights in tormenting animals
and his fellows in his youth, is apt to
be a murderer in his manhood, and the
brutal man who once takes the life of
his fellow man without UNSUITABLE
cause, such as in selt-defense, will be a
murderer as long as he lives.
Some OF our readers may say to this
argument: $50 much the more rea-
son why a convicted murderer should
be put out of the world" That is just
what we propose to do; to place the
wretch where he can harm no one; to
keep him by himself, apart from his
fellow men; to give him an opportuni-
ty, by p%enitential tears and deep re.
pentance, to prepare himself for pro.
erosion in spirit land, towards a bet
ter and a higher life. Not to bring him
on to the scaffold and by priestly aid
permit him to drop out of the world
convinced that his sins are pardoned
and that, like the dying thief, be is CO.
ing straight to Paradise. No! let the
child who mourns for the killing of its
father be able to point to the prison
walls and say: 'In that building the
wretch who robbed my dear parent OF
life and me of a protector is wearing
his life aWay in remOrSe."

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY q. 1878.
THE NEW POPE.

The labors of the Conclave have Gull
minated In the selection Of Gioachimi
Pecci as Pope. He was elected on the
third ballot. Sixty-eight Cardinals
were present, and participated in the
deliberations of the sacred convention.
Cardinal McCloskey, we take it, did not
reach Rome in time to take part in the
selection Of the new Pontif. Gioachimi
Pecci assumes the name of Leo XIII.
Pecci is an Italian, born at Carpenetto,
in the diocese OF Arragui, March "a,
1910, and Is sixty eight years of age.
He was created Cardinal December 10,
1853. He has been Archbishop OF
Perouse and Chamberlain of the Pope.
He Is known as a Moderate"
He was to have been created Cardinal
at the request of a Protestant, King
Leopold l., of Belgium, to whom he
had been sent as Nuncio by Gregory
XVI; but on the death of the latter,
Plus TX, yielding to the vindictive-
ness of Antonelli, allowed seven years
to elapse before he gave him the hat.
OF high intellect, of a we'll tried and
energetic nature, His Eminence has
made not only an excellent Bishop
but has realized the type of a perfect
Cardinal. AS an Administrator, he
managed to clear Benevento of snug
Cling and brigandage, as we'll as of the
underhand intrigues of the party of the
nobility. AS a man Of intelligence. he
does not regard with such a pessimist
eye as his colleagues the reciprocal
sensations of the Church and society.
He has evidently found a solution in
his own mind for existing and eventu-
al difficulties. Abiding to his per-
sonal appearance, a correspondent
" "His Eminence is tall and thin.
His features have an aristocratic
stamp, and are characterized by great
finesse. He has a resemblance at once
to Voltaire and Richelieu. The voice
strikes one disagreeably at first, it is so
nasal ia its tones, but n soon gets
accustomed to this popularity, owing
to its fullness and AL
though sim pie in manners, His Emil
.nence is OF all the Cardinals the one
who carries himself with most pontifi-
cal majesty, resembling in this Plus
TX, who, in his early days, passed for
incompatible"

The TelephOne-How TO Make n
Cheap One.

AAt<tp u
Professor Barrett, in a recent lecture
on the telephone, gave a recipe for
making a cheap one. Take a wooden
tooth-powder box and make a hole
about the size Of a half crown in the
lid and bottom. Take a disk of timed
iron, such as can be had from a pre-
served meat tin. and place it on the
outside of the bottom of the box, and
fix the cover on the other side of it.
Then take a small bar magnet, place
on n end a small cotton or silk reel,
and round the reel wind some iron
wire, leaving the ends loose. Fix one
end OF the magnet near, as near as pos.
sible without touching, to the disk, and
then one part of the telephone is com
plete. A similar arrangement is need.
ed for the other end. The two are con.
nected by the wire, and with this Pro.
fessor Barrett says that he has been
able to converse at a distance of about
100 yards.
