MOVING AND SPEAKING PHoToGRAPHs.
BY tho use of sterioscOpic photo
graphs and the photograph, COM
bined with the kinesigraph, a writer
in the Nature says q talking picture
can he taken, which will recite with
1notionless lips any speech the sit

life-sized photograph can be made to
move and gesticulate precisely the
same as the orator did when making
the speech, the words. tone and
gesture corresponding as in real life.
These wonderful pictures are taken
in quarter or half seconds, the ex-
posure OF the plate not occupying
more than an eighth of second.
After fixing, the prints from these
plates are taken one below another
on o long stip or ribbon or paper.

OLD PEopLE.-A job to coax back
elors out of single blessedness and
to decrease the stock of old maids
by an increased demand for wives,
may be involved in some statements
made by the London Review in rela-
tions existing between marriage and
longevity. Old maids and bachel-
ors. it says, rarely attain to ex.
treme old age, and then it tells Of
people living to extraordinary ages
by wedding a dozen times or so,
while Jacob Jay, of Bordeaux, died
in 1772 at the age OF 1Ol years, hav-
ing laid seventeen wivesin the grave,
and Margaret McDowall, a Scotch
woman, died in 1765, at the age of
105, having wept at the untin'ely de-
mise of thirteen men whose name
she had born in rotation. Thus far
the Reriep does not put very strong
tax upon ones capacity for boiling a
tough morsel. but the strain is rath-
or severe when it goes on to speak
of pair named Rovin, who died in
Hungary in 1741, the man ITO and
the woman 164, leaving q youth ll6
years old to bewail his orphanage
and reflect on the strength Of that
tie which held his parents together
for 14S years--Bo~ton Journal.

mother Of the dead boy placed the
guilt where it belonged.
:" 1t was the wine that did it, "
she said, 81 have no anger against

But the police were not 80 lem

for his friend. STILL, their search
ives of the feeblest, and singularly
unsuccessful. "They were giving
hin time to escape" people said,
under their breath.

Wilson, mounted on q strong, swift

"It's not Charley" said Moore,

"No. no! There are plenty of

Ned went on as though he had

Justice Hopkins reached the scene OF the
accident about + o'clock last evening. He
made inquiry MS to the circumstances OF the
explosion, and viewed the bodies OF the
dead, but held no inquest. He may con-
clude to do 80 to-day, though no very great
good can be accomplished thereby.
;::sAt half-past Z O'Clock last night the vi
cinity of the mill had been deserted by
everybody. The neighbors not in attend
ance upon the sick and dead at Mr.. HalPs
house had gone to their homes. The bodies
OF the two colored men were lying near
where they fell. No preparation had then
been made for keeping watch over them or
burying them.
"A few years ago, at the Carbon-Hill mine,
which is not far from HalPs mill, an explo-
sion of similar character to this took place,
but with not quite such fatal results. There,
if memory is not at fault, the engineer or
fireman was tried and convicted OF criminal
carelessness.
Mr.. Hall, it seems. remembering that and
similar occurrences, had repeatedly charged
his men to be careful in the management OF
the boiler. f..ss4

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE CApIrATToS TAx-TuE NUMBER OF
po11s P41D AND USPAID.-The following
table shows the number OF polls assessed In
this city, the number OF persons who have
mid in the several wards, and the number
Of polls now remaining unpaid. 1t will be
surprising fact to many of our people to
know that in this growing city there are
now only 3,O93 qualified voters! In fact,
the number OF persons who have failed to
nav their capitation tax since the amend
incnt TO the Constitution making such pay
ment a prerequisite to voting has eonsid,,
erably increased. 1t has been suggested
that the deEnauent voters, or some OF them,
ore waiting for the candidates to pay. The
civ Conservative Committee will probably
decide whether they will require the pay

Conservatives are allowed to vote at the

scholar sees in the vain but beautiful mythoostes of
the aucients the embodied expressions Of the hum
CRY human soul, biudly groping after the Infinite,

sixteenth century the fountain of perpetual health
and youth-an expression OF the lougings Of suffer-
Ing humanity for remedy that should forever pre-
vent the incursion OK disease The wilds of Europe
were ransacked for this wonderful fountain, and
Ponce dc Leon sought for it In the cyprosS-Gwamps
and tangled everglades Of our sunny Florida.
| Men have searched for 1t everywhere and any

as take up from this fluid and excrctc from the sys-
tenn the noxious elements 1t Is not or pract!cal I'm
portance that should describe each. For instance,
| medical authors describe about hfty varieties OF
skin diseases, but they all require for their cure
very similar treatment, 1t Is of no practical utility
to know just what name to apply to certain form,
of skin-disease, so you know how best to cure IT.
Then, again, might go on and describe various
| kinds of scrofulous sores, fever sores, white
swelllngs. enlarged glands, and ulcers OF va
ryiug appearance; might describe how virr-
lent poison may show itself in various
| forms of eruptons, ulcers. sore-throat, .bony
tumors, etc.; but as all these yarious-appearine
manifestations OF bad blood are cured by uniform
/ means, deem such course unnecessary. Tho
roughly cleanse the blood, which is the great foun.
tain of life, and good digestion, fair skn buoyant

The -TELEPHoNE.-Yesterday Mr.. G. P.
Z. Burgwyn, agent of the Bell Telephone
Company. returned from q tour, during
which he has been exhibiting the instru-
ments OF his company. at Norfolk the tel
ephone was very successfully worked on q
line whose battery gave out the other night
lust as the line was needed for q large fire
in that city. The Fire Department there
use the pressure Of the pumps at the distant
reservoir instead Of the steam 6re-engine
tHollis's syStem) in order to throw the wa
ter up to the tops OF the buildings; but as
the battery would not work there was no
ready means OF signalling for the pressure
TO he put on, and the consequence was that
the house was burned down, and in it an
old woman. As the telephone requires no
battery, it may readily be imagined how it
recommends itself under such an emergen-
cy. At the reservoir the telephone was
placed in the same room with the large
pumps, which were then started. The City
Engineer, who remained in Norfolk, dis
tmctly heard through the telephone the hui
man voice above the noise Of the machine
~, and gave correct answers, notwith-
standing the rumbling was so great that
persons in the same room with the tele-
phone at the reservoir could scarcely hear
conversation even when shouted into the
ear --
1t Charlottesville the telephone was
equally successful at the woollen mills.
