Mr.. Hayes at Gettysburg.
d. NJ. KEY

Among other addresses at the ex-
ercises at Gettysburg on the Both was
one from President Hayes. He said /:
yellow CITIzENs-The battle of
Gettysburg will, probably, always be
regarded az the battle which did
more than any other to determine the
result of the great civil war in the
United States. The honOred dead
who fought and persisted here will
therefore be forever held in special
and grateful remembrance and the
great martyr of the conflict was
Abraham Lincoln. He, by his i'm
mortal words spoken here, has in
dissolubly linked his name, fame and
memory with the battle of Gettys-
burg. Lincoln gave his life, and the
brave men who responded to his call
gave their lives for the Union, for
liberty and for a stable constitutional
government. They believed our in
stitutionS were equal to any emer-
gency; and that they ought to be
maintained at any cost of property or
life. If our assembling in this place
shall fifty honor the men we now
wish remembered with gratitude, it
will be because, beholding these
scenes and contemplating the eX-
ample of the heroes who made
Gettysburg illustrious, we shall be
able to estimate more wisely the
value of our country and Of her in
situations, and be better prepared for
the duties which, under. Providence,
have deyolved upon us. Let us here
give heed to the words of Abraham
Lincoln; let us here again resolve
that these dead here shall not have
died in vain ; that the nation, under
God, shall have new birth of free.
dom, and that government of the
people and by the people shall not
perish from the earth"

Waste of Time and Money.

Six months has. elapsed since the
meeting of Congress, and it is a
shameful fact, that no measure of
practical interest to the people has
been acted upon except the silver
bill. The people generally are COM
planning Of hard times, thousands of
the labOriug class are out of employ
ment and in want of the necessaries
OF life, and the people have to bear
the heavy burden of taxation, and
yet our Congressman, who are paid
five thousand dollars a year, and oc-
cupying velvet seats, allow weeks
and months to be consumed in use
less discussions and even upon the
question of the Presidency, that has
been fairly settled more than wear
ago, and in the language of Hon.
Alex. H. Stephens, of Georgia, "by
as firm and lawful right as any of his
predecessors" 1t is an attempt to-
make political capital on the part of
the Democrats, but which they will
find two-edged sword.-AnndpOiiS

AN OWL IMPRISONED BY MAR
TINs.-The owner of large farm
not far from Lancaster had an op-
portunity few days ago of witness
ing how an interloper is punished by
the martin species of birds. A pair
of martins had taken possession of
small box, and were building their
nest. One day, while they were alb
sent, a screech-owl took possession of
the box, and when the martins came
home at night would not allow them
to enter. The smaller birds were
nonplussed for awhile, and in a short
time flew away, seemingly giving
up the fight. But if the owl was of
this opinion he was sadly mistaken,
for in short time the little ones re.
turned, bringing with them a whole
army of their companions, who inn
mediately set to work and, procur-
ing mud, plastered the entrance to
the box shut. They then all flew
away. In few days the box was
examined and the owl was found
dead.-Ldnc0Ster Pa Examiner.

organize, and resolve to support no
person for Congress who has given
aid to this movement, and who will
not pledge himself to sustain the title
of President Hayes during the term
for which he was elected against all
attempts at its overthrow.
Only in this way can a grave
danger to the public be averted and
convincing proof be given that the
confidence was not misplaced which
President Hayes manifested in the
South when he withdrew the troops
from the State Houses of South Caro-
Llama and Louisiana. | have spoken
plainly and earnestly, for | feel that
| should be unworthy to represent
the South in the Administration
were | to remain silent now. In
vited to the Cabinet as a Southern
man, to see that justice was done to
the South required neither to apollo
gize for my record nor to disown my
political principles it is my duty
now to warn the people of the South
of the danger which threatens the
country. No man need to hope that
the schemes of the men who have
engineered the movement to unseat
President Hayes can be carried out
without bloody civil war. Toavert
this danger l confidently rely upon
the patriotism and honor of the peo-
pie OF my native section.

The telephone and photograph are
already old stories in the rush OF an
n0uncements of wonderful inven-
tionS. Our public buildings are fur
nished with telephones and the
squeak Of the photograph is heard
through the land. But new marvels
keep the public in state of wonder.
The aerophone, a sort of articulating
calliope, a truly fiendish invention,
the auragraph, which transmits all
the sounds in room, with increased
distinctness, to an adjoining, apart
ment, and lastly the microphone,
which in conjunction with the teIe-
phone, renders sounds greatly msgni-
fed at long distances, have success
sively attracted attention. The last
named is the invention of an Eng
lishman named Hughes, and in
creases the capacity of the ear in the
same way that the telescope does
that of the eye. 1t was discovered
that vibrations of sound are repro
duced with the greatest delicacy and
with increased force when pieces of
charcoal previously heated to white.
ness and plunged into mercury
bath, are interposed, closely pressed
together, in an electric circuit.
Sounds scarcely audible may be re.
produced with any degree of loudness
at long distances. 1t is claimed that
the footsteps of houSehy may be
heard as far as the telephone wire
stretches. The development oftheSe
various inventions and their COM
binations with one another will un-
doubleday result in the construction
of instruments of great practical
utility, as well as satisfy from time
to time the public craving for some
thing novel and wonderful.

GEN. BUTLER's IDEAS ABOUT
THE ARMY AND FRONTIER PROTEC-
TICN.-The latter part of General
Buffers speech, which he was not
permitted 70 deliver in the House on
Tuesday night, was the only part
that had any bearing upon the army
appropriation bill then under dis
cusSion. In that speech as printed,
he says that, instead of a regiment
posted on the frontier, the Govern
ment should support four hundred
families settled on the public lands,
with strong WOrkmen at their hands,
and give them arms. They would
protect themselves from Indians, and
prevent incursions. They would be
an army, not of consumers, but of
producers, and each settlement would
be stronger than a regiment, and be
in fact, regiment Of militia. When
that is accomplished, he said, it will
be time enough to talk abount dis
banding your army, and cutting it
down to few sergeants to keep the
guns and carriages in the several
posts painted. Educate the officers,
and let them devote their efforts to
private life until the contingency of
actual war calls them into action.
