One Of the most remarkable features Of
the invention IS the fact that the dia-
phram can be placed in steam whistles
and made to talk like a callioPe- The
captains Of slips at sea miles away from
each other could converse without trouble
and correct their chI0nometeTs- The
steam whistles would threw any voice
into articulated speech. With metal
diaphragm in the whistle OF a locomotive,
the engineer could roar out the name Of
the next station in a voice so loud that it
could be heard by every passenger on the
train, and by all within a distance Of two
miles. Placed in steam fire engine, the
chief engineer could talk to every fore
man in the department without difficulty
no matter how great the uproar- A
machine could be put up in the Jersey
City railroad depot that would shout

Gen. Besdle, Of Yankton, has letter
on 'the proposed territory Of Lincoln"
in the Chicago Tribnne. VI extract IS
follows:
'sThe proposed measure violates all
tho laws of climate and topography ,
disreEsrds tho uniform history and
policy Of the government in its ter.i-
torisl management, and opposes the

ton Of Dakota. It ignores the best
interests of fthree-fourths or more Of tho

1t binds together remote and discon-
nected parts whose interests are for
ever diverse, and separates communal
ties naturally friendly and bomogen-
eeus. 1t makes two territories narrow
east and west, but very long north and
south, violating all the commonest
laws Of migration snd commerce. 1t

African Amazons.

1t is rather unusual for women per-
sonally to participate in war. We live
in an age of strange developments, how
ever, for the last account from the seat of
war, in South Africa, where England is
sorely pressed by the Caffres, who are so
blindly infatuated as to desire not to
have their country and themselves
absorbed by British colonization, is that
in one engagementthe British troops had
to retire, owing to the superior number
of the enemy, and that, in second and
severe fight, one officer was shot dead
and another seriously wounded, while
the enemy marched off in good order,
through the cunning of body of four
hundred women, who can scarcely be
called the fair sex,p who threw them
selves between the Caffres and the Brit
ish soldiers, in the conviction that the
latter would not fire upon them. Moth
ing like this has been recorded by his
tory since the memorable day, two thou
sand six hundred years ago, when the
Sabine women, who had been forcibly
seized by Romulus and his adherents,
and were the cause of war, rushed
down from Palatine hill with disheveled
hair, and, throwing themselves between
their Roman husbands and their Sabine
kinsmen, induced a peace to be made
which ended in the union of the two
races.

The Long Fast.

The Syrians have good many stories
concerning their priests. whom they
laugh about, and yet obey, no matter
how ignorant they are. Abu Selim in
the Meena used to tell this story, says
DR.. Jessop, in his recent work on the
women of the Arabs: s,;s.7z.
Once there was priest who did not
know how to count. This was great
trial to him, as the Greeks have so many
fasts and feasts that it is necessary to
count all the time, or get into trouble.
They have q long fast called Scum el
kebri, and it is sometimes nearly sixty
days long. One year the fast COM
menced, and the priest had blundered
so often, that he went to the bishop and
asked him to teach him some way to
count the days to the Easter feast. The
bishop said it would be forty days, and
gave him forty kernels of humn,us or
peas, telling him to put them into his
pocket and throw one out every day,
and when they were all gone, to pro-
claim the feast. !F
This was happy plan for the poor
priest, and he went on faithfully throw
ing away one pea every day, until one
day he went to neighboring village In
crossing stream he fell from his dom
key into the mud, and his black robe
was grieyously soiled. The good woman
of the house where he slept told him to
take off his robe, and she would clean il
in the night. So, after he was asleep,
she arose and washed it clean, but
found, to her sorrow, that she had de-
stroyed the peas in the priests pocket.
"Poor priest" said she; :" he has lost
all his peas which he had for lunch
On the road! But I will make it up to
| him." ,-f
So she went to her earthen jar and
took double handful of peas and pui
them into the priests pocket, and said
no more. He went on his way, and
threw out pea every morning fol
weeks and weeks. At length some o1
his fellaheen heard tnat the feast
had begun in another village, and told
the priest. -
"fmpossiblep said he. g Ny pocket
is half full yet"
Others came and said:
"Will you keep us fasting all the
yearT
He only replied:
4 "Look into my pocket. Are you wise
than the bishopT
At length some one went and told tn,
bishop that the priest was keeping hi
people fasting for twenty days after tn,
time. And then the story leaked out
and the poor woman told how she hat
filled up his pocket, and the bishop sav
that there was no use in trying to teacl
the man to count.
