Talking Through the Atlantic Cable.

At the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Electrical Society in Chicago, Mr..
George II. Bliss of the Electric works
said that he had, in a trip East about q
month ago, seen BIr. Edison's latest adj
dition to the telephone, a description of
which addition the speaker thought the
inventor would not object to having
given. 1t was a telephone receiver a
receiver without a magnet - something
new under the sun. Ii was based upon
the principle of the electric photograph.
By it it was expected that communica-
ton could be had through the Atlantic
cable, and that talking between Chicago
and New York would be thing of
hourly practice Mr.. Edison's invention
so greatly increased the volume of the
message transmitted than any thing
transmitted could be heard by a person
standing twelve or fifteen feet away from
the instrument This might not be
altogether desirable improvement. 1t
was doubtful whether person talking
through a telephone cared to have his
words heard by every body in the room
where the message was received. Prof
Gray had a somewhat similar attach
ment on his telephone for the transmits
sion of telephone harmony. hespeaker
thought it capable of improvement to a
degree of rivalry with Edison's attach
ment.

REMEDY FOR BURDOCKs.-After
many experiments, a certain and speedy
remedy for burdocks has been discov
cred in kerosene-oil. If small guam
tity be pounded into the hearts of the
plants, directly after cutting, they viii
disappear entirely, roots and stalks,
leaving no trace of their existence save
small hole in the earth where they
stood. Refined or crude oil will ac-
complish the purpose equally well.

A Darby Sen of Thunder.

Alick Brown, the mighty-mouthed
negro who went to England to whistle
for Jarrett and Palmer, is now in the
Jefferson Market Prison serving stem
day. sentence. He makes the prison
a place of minstrelcy and noise On the
Mississippi steamboats,, where he
worked as freedman in 1866, handling
cotton, he learned to initiate the blow
ing of the whistles, the sound of the
gongs, the splashing of the wheels, the
noise of the escaping steam when the
engine is started, the vocal achieve
ments of fighting cats and dogs, the
the noises of railroad whistles, steam
saw and planning mills, the banjo, violin,
violincello and bagpipe. In 1874 he be-
gan to make his living in st. Louis by
giving these limitations in different sa-
looms, and 'staking up collection. 4"
He visited other cities, and in 1876 came
to New York. He s'did the steamboat
in the play of Uncle Toms Cabin at the
Bowery, and lived by his saloon and
ferryboat performances afterwards.
Last August he was engaged by Jarrett
& Palmer for their production of Uncle
Toms Cabin at Booths Theater, and
taken to England with them. Last
Friday he came back on the steamer
England with nine other negroes of the
troupe, and has fallen back on the sa-
looms for living. Tuesday some boys
who had been listening to him followed
him, and tried to find out where his
noises came from. He spoke to po-
liceman, who replied that "the boys
wouldn't hurt him." Brown was much
disguised, and said so. He was
promptly arrested, and given ten days
the next morning ''for intoxication and
disorderly conduct"

A RObber King.

The Hungarian papers announce the
death in the prison of Szamos- Ujvar, of
the celebrated bandit, Rosza Sander,
known in Hungary as the " Robber
King" He was born at Szejedin in
1918, and both his father and grand
father were robbers by profession. His
achievements, however, soon eclipsed
those of his family, and he was admired
as much as he was feared. The reck-
less courage with which he attacked the
police, and even military escorts on the
high road in broad daylight, his gener-
osity toward the poor, and his gallantry
toward women made him a sort of
national hero. Some thirty years ago
few people of the weather. classes ven
tured to travel in Hungary without pay
ing him tribute. His bands were well
armed and organized, and szegony
legenyek (pOor fellows), as the bandits
were called in those days, found sympa-
thizers and accomplices among the
peasantry. He was first imprisoned in
1886, but escaped in the following year
by the assistance of his mistress, peas
ant woman named Kati, whose husband
he had killed by blowing his brains out
with o pistol. During the revolution of
1913 Rosa Sander was pardoned by
Kossuth, and he then organized a free
corps, which did good service against
the Government troops. After the sup
preston of the rising Sander resumed
his former career. He did not again
fall into the hands of the authorities I'M
til 1856, when he was betrayed by one of
his companions, whom he shot as the
soldiers were advancing to capture him.
After a trial which lasted three years
Sander was sentenced TO be hanged, but
the sentence was commuted to impris-
onment for life He remained eight
years in the fortress of Kufstein, and
was then set at liberty in virtue of
general amnesty. But he soon resumed
his old pursuits. In 1868 he attacked,
with some of his companions, railway
train at Felegyhazs. The Government
sent a body of troops, under Count
Gedeon Raday, to capture him, and
four years later he was again brought
before the criminal tribunal, together
with a number of his accomplices,
among whom were several magistrates
and high civic functionaries. He was
again sentenced to death, and the sem
tence was again committed to imprison-
ment Cor life. The prison to which he
was then sent was the one in which he
died-PaH Mall Gazette.

A Singular Animal.

For some years there has been in the
Had.ey neighborhood wild vermin
which has been n terror to the people
of that community. Last Sunday morn
ing Esquire James Heard went to his
hog-pen, where he found and killed it.
1t has been heard in that section to cry
like young mule, but when it was shot
it made noise like that of fox. 1t is
20 inches high, 3 feet inches from end
of tail to the tip of his nose, and looks
like a cross between wolf, fox, dog
and coon; has thick, heavy neck like
a bull, is of 3 pale yellow color, with
long hair on his neck, which curls back
somewhat like the name of lion, and
other features not common to animals
of these woods. What is strange about
it is that the hounds would not chase
nor have-any thing to do with it. 1t
was in good order, and from its being
in the hog-pen it is supposed that it had
been for long time feeding on the
swine of the neighborhood.- BOVling

AFTER CHRISTMAS.

have lately heard a secret;
Heard it, TOO, from truthful lips,
santa Claus. the sly old fellow,
Makes his after Christmas trips.
I've been told he has discovered
Many things that cause him pain;
Discomfort and hateful envy
Thoughtful love bestowed in vain.
He has seen his choicest presents
Torn, and broken. and defaced;
Santa Claus, though rich and lavish,
frowns on wicked, wilful waste
All unseen he watched some children
In their pleasant home, at play
With the very toys he gave them
On the merry Christmas day.
Johnny's horse was kicked and battered,
just because It couldn't neighi
Thought his papa might have bought hin
Two live horses and a sleighi
Katie wished her doll was larger,
Wished fits eyes were black, not blue;
Finally grew vexed and threw it
Broke its lovely head I'm two.
Santa Claus looked grave and troubled;
Shook his head and went away;
I'm remember this" he muttered,
On another Christmas dayr'
Then he peered in dismal places
Where he was not wont to go;
Where the hungry, shiveIing children
Never any Christmas know.
And his heart was sad and sorry
That he could not help them all;
And he thought I'm grief and anger
OF the broken horse and doll
As he took his onward journey,
he was seen TO drop tear,
And I'm certain that he whispered,
"pu remember this next year"
