MohTROSE TO HIS MISTRESS.

JAMES GRAHANE, MARQUIS OF aosTRosE.
NV dear and only love. pray
That little world OF thee
Is" governed by no other sway
But pUre-t monarchy;
For If cOnflISi0:: have 4 part,
Which virtUous souls ahhOr,
IN call IA synod In my heart,
And never love thee more.
As Alexander | will reign,
And | will reign alone;
My thoughts did cvermOrc diSdalu
rival on my throne.
ii" either fears his fate too much,
Or his deserts ar" small.
W h" darcs not put it To the touch,
To gain or lose it all.
But Will reign and govern still,
AMI always give III. law,
And have each subject at nv Will,
And all to stand in awe;
But 'Sainsi my batteries if I flni.
Thou storm or vsN me sore
A. II thon set me rs a blind
III never love thee more.
And in the empire of thy heart
Where ] should solely be,
IL others do pretend II part,
Or dare 10 share with me;
or committees If thou erect,
Or go on such score,
III! smiling mock ut thy neglect
And never love thee more.
But II no faithlcsS action stain
Thy love and constant word,
l'll MAKE thee famous by nv pen,
Anf glorious by my sword;
III serve thee in such noble ways
As ne'er was known before;
I'll deck and crown thy head with bays.
And love thee more and more

By the CdrreJulien method. meat is taken
to Europe in good condition from Australia
and the Argentine Republic. Former attempts
at such transportation unGer different meth
DDS have been unsuccessful, though meat may
be carried in refrigerating chambers from
North America to Europe. By the new method
the meat is frozen to the very center and car
ried closely packed on its voyage at very
low temperature, obtained by the use of am
monia- This plan, from the intensity OF cold
it produces, the compactness OF stowage, aud
consequent large cargoes which it renders pos
sible, and its greater cheapness, is likely to
supplant all others, and large trade will
probably result from its use. Mutton is now
taken from the Argentine Republic TO London
and sold readily at profit OF nine cents On
the pound.

American Inventors and English
Appropriations

The war between the true and the alleged
Inventor of the telephone microphOne- thermo-
phile has begun in earnest. Edison has re-
piled to the card of Messrs. Preece and Hughes
on the subject, pointing out numerous mis-
statements and contradictions into which the
EngliShmen have permitted themselves to fall,
and has placed some points of the controversy
beyond dispute. Preece in his card denies
that Hughes has brought out any thermOpile,
and is endorsed in this statement by Hughes
himself. Edison quotes from the Engineer of
May Il, 1873, to show that the discovery of the
heat measuring properties of carbon lodS
aScribed to Hughes as the result of expert
mentS made at the time by him and that the
term thermOphile was actually employed in
connection with the alleged invention. Preece
is connected with the matter by the fact that
he had received from Edison the STAR of April
18th, in which EiisOn'S discovery of the heat
measuring properties of carbon was an
nOunced as is proved by quotations made by
Preece from the same paper, in lecture be.
fore the Society of Arts. EiisOn's title to this
discovery is therefore placed beyond question,
both by the convincing evidence in
Produced by him, and by the disclaimer
OF Hughes. The next point at issue is
in regard to the discovery of the sound mag
nifying property of carbon under certain con-
ditionS. Preece, in his card, says: His
(HugheSO micrOphOne is quite different in
strument to EdisOn's telephone" In letter
to Edison, dated May q he says: Hughes
dOings border very closely upon yours, and it
is difficult TO distinguish between what you
have done and what he has done" The latter
opinion is nearer the truth. 1t is not only diff
fcult but impossible, to distinguish between
the doingS of the two By quotations from
scientific papers 1t is shown cOnclusively that
the discovery that carbon properly prepared
changes its resistance with pressure Hughes
great discovery was made long before by Edi-
son, and that the discarding of the vibrating
diaphragm a ''distinctiye' feature of the mi
crOphOne, was also first thought of and sue
ceSsfully attempted by Edison. An extract
from letter written on June by Sir William
Thompson, who certainly cannot be charged
with prejudice in favor of Edison, ought to
set the matter at rest He says:
at is certain that at the meeting of the Brit.
1Sh Association at PlymOu h last September a
method of magnifying sound in an electric
telephone was described as having been in
vented by Edison, which was Identical in prin
e1ple and in some details with that brought
forward fy Hughes
The OF 3StiOn of the originality of some of
the details of the sOcalled invention of Hughes
is all that remains to be settled. And this is
matter of little consequence, where the con-
trOyerSy has been concerning the discovery of
of the essential parts of instruments by which
they may be practically utilized. EdiSon'S
victory is, TO all appearances, complete.

1t is wrong to make disparaging remarks
about the Potter committee. They no longer
disturb the country to any appreciate extent,
and what, with the heat and lack of success,
they are already sufficiently punished for what
they have done in that direction. Now what
could be more aggravating than an episode of
yesterdays examination? witness belong
ing tc telegraph company is subpGnaed to
produce important telegraphic dispatches
passing between the jerks, Pitkins and An
derson. He appears with the dispatches, but
says that they are of a privileged character,
and that he cannot produce them except under
eOmpulsiOn. The Investigators are as excited
as the heat will permit. They sternly compel
the witness and order the dispatches to be
produced. With dramatic reluctance he de-
liyers up the results of his researches in the
form of a single dispatch, addressed to Ander-
Son in Philadelphia: Are you coming over
Tomorrow? AnSwer.-A, d. jerks" III the
Investigators did not tear their hair it was
because they were bald or exhausted by their
