Lr. EdisOn's Inventions.

THERE can be no doubt that Mr..
Edison, the inventor of the phon0-
graph, is one of the most remarkable
men Of the present century. His i'm
provements in telegraphic apparatus
and in the working of the telephone
seem almost to have exhausted the pos
sibilities of electricity. In like manner,
the discovery of the photograph and
the application Of its principles in the
aerophone, by which the volume Of
sound is so amplified and intensified ~
10 be made audible at distance of sew
eral miles, seem to have stretched the
laws of sound to their utmost limit. Al
present, the photograph seems to h
the most practical Of all his discoveries,
since it can be easily applied to COM
mon uses, and can be made SO cheap
and portable that every family can at.
ford to have one. Mr.. Edison il al.
ready at work to remedy the metallic
tone which the disc gives of by the use
of some sensitive material which will
exactly reproduce the tone of voice
talked into the instrument. One appli-
cation of this quality will revolutionize
the whole world of literature. Mr.. Edi.
SON saws that upon disc Of copper Of
tin foil, not over ten inches in diameter,
the entire contentso of an ordinary novel
can be recorded, and that these plates
can be sold cheaper than the books.
Now, suppose that q publisher employs
one of the most famous elocutionists Of
the age to talk one of Dickens best
novels upon q photograph plate. By
the stereotype process these plates are
REPRODUCED as fast as wanted, and much
cheaper than books can be sold. The
purchaser buys one of these plates fora

A New York telegram gives the fol-
lowing particulars relative to the death
of "Boss" Tweed:
Tweed had been dangerously i'll for
several days. His death resulted from
. complication of disorders, but was
caused directly by nervous exhaustion
and clogging Of the action Of the heart.
He was delirious last night and early
this morning, when he was attended
only by his servant. Later, he became
calm, and rallied. He was conscious
till within few moments of his death,
and short time before drank . little
tea. Shortly before death he said
to Mr.. Edelstein, lawyer, something
with reference to the effect upon his
health and fortunes of his. confinement
in Jail, and, mentioning some persons
by names, exclaimed "They will be
satisfied now" No member of his
family was in his room when he died,
although his daughter, Mrs. Douglass,
was in an adjoining apartment. His
wife, his sons Richard and William NJ.
Jr., and other relatives. near and re-
mote, were in Europe, where they have
been for some months. His rooms
were sumptuously furnished. but his
meals had been brought to him from
the Jail. His beard was snow-white,
and SO was his hair; his face was very
thin, but the dimensions of his figure
had not been perceptibly reduced.
At the time of his death there was nc
struggle, as he passed away in sleep,
with his head lying upon his arm.
Keeper Kirnin was hurriedly sum.
moned three minutes before noon, and,
reaching Mr.. Tweed's room, the moor
signal rang out, and the ong-prisoned
old man dropped back dead in his bed
The announcement of his death
spread rapidly. and crowd Of curious
people soon assembled outside the jail
peering eagerly into the half-closed
windows.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1878-04-25

MAGIC and witchcraft would seem to
be practiced to a very great extent
among the Turks; there are those that
are accounted magicians, witches and
wizards, whose occult power is brought
largely (but with much secrecy to
work out results on another's will, at
fections, property and health. Con-
ceive the case of two rival wives each
longing for the others death. They
look in each others faces with jaun-
diced smiles, and revel together
throughout a tournament of screeching
music; and each knows all the while
the other has, SO to speak, sold her soul
to the Internal powers for the sake of
present revenge. Let such thing be
but suspected by the one, and no power
on earth can turn her from counting
every spell of the dark craft to Guido
her rival. For does not her very life
depend on her resorting to more pow
erful means, to more subtle secrets,
than the other knows of? Where can
she find man or woman "wise"
enough to lead her through the laby-
rinth of dark ways that have to be
trOdden before she can arrive in tri-
wishes realized? She sets to work eau
tiously and surreptitiously, binding
some old woman to her secret service.
But before spell, charm, or enchant-
ment can be commenced, it is necessary
to obtain possession of some object be-
longing to the person who has to be
worked on. Say q divorce has to be-
brought about, two spoons must be OBJ
tanned belonging to the parties who have
to be separated; these metal objects ere
then securely bound together in repre-
sentation of the bonds of matrimOny,
which unite their owners. The spoons
are then either buried in the ground or
hung in some damp, moldy receptacle,
incarnation having been duly said over
them. As the string binding them to-
gether gradually decays, SO the bonds
of affection between husband and wife
will surely give place to aversion and
estrangement, till their two lives fall
asunder. In magic, written words are
supposed to have mighty power, as
though they could hold in q concen-
trated form the dearest and most hid
den wish of the soul, and, if that wish
is written with the hearts life-blO0d,
and in conjunction with the names Of
some of the hottest prophets, its fulfill
ment is the more certain. Nearly ev-
cry Khanum wears such an amulet; the
religious-minded, Is q preservation
from sin; the superstitious, as . pro-
lection against shaitans; young girls.
to insure happy marriage; the aged.
to court long life; ambitious Effendis.
to insure advancement; men who have
two wives, to set themselves beyond
the power of spells; and beautiful
woman to ward off envy. But in the
case of rival wife this amulet is .
source of the keenest hope and of the
gravest apprehensions. She must hide
It from all eyes, and yet it must never
leave her. Should it be discovered and
tempered with, it would reveal her
paramount object-the names of those
concerned the end to be effected
being usually written inside the little
three-cornered packet.-Belgrauia.
