The track was washed out, i'll spots, for
fifteen miles, between Frink's Spring and
Dos Palmas, by quite sharp shower
The rain was preceded by gusts of wind
violent enough to almost blow the cars
from the track. The electric disturbance
was great, and the thunder and lightning
were perfectly appalling.

Sd. No expensive, heavy or complicated

heavy freight to the district where it may
be required. Brick and clay, generally OBJ

A New TeIephOnjc Wonder.

The public has had its sense of the
wondrous very much blunted during the
past year or two by the rapid introduce
ton of telephones and agraphones,
microphones, monographs and the like,
so that if the announcement were to be
made that Professor Somebody had de-
vised a plan by which q person could
make the trip between Philadelphia and
Liverpool in twenty-four hours the pub
lie would only be surprised, not aston
ished. It certainly seems marvellous
enough to say that there has been dis
covered way in which persons may sit
in their own homes and listen to SER
mons, concerts or lectures going on in
churches or halls miles distant, and but
brief time ago, such statement would
have been regarded with incredulity !;
to-day it simply evokes the remark, 81
thought they'd get up something like
that"
A device which makes such O trans
mission feasible has been introduced by
Mr.. Henry Bentley, the well-known
Philadelphia electrician, who first brought
into notice the celebrated Edison tele-
phone. To an Inquirer reporter Mr..
Bently kindly exhibited and explained
his invention, one of the instruments
being in practical operation in his Office.
Standing neara small continuance, which
is not large enough to attract casual no.
tice, one hears the hum of conversation.
the strain of grand organ, then voice
easily distinguishablea as that of favorite
singer, followed by the performance of
an orchestra and then by applause, all
quite audible, but with a distant sort of
effect, and he need scarcely be told, if
he has ever been there, that he is listen
ing to what is going on in the perma-
nent exhibition, though standing in an
Office at Third and Chestnut streets.
Transmitters will be probably placed
in front of lecturer at the Academy of
Music during some of the Star course
entertainments, and wires carried to
Germantown, Chestnut Hill, Frankford,
Camden and other distant points, at
which, Mr.. Bentley has no doubt, the
speaker will be plainly heard by those
stationed there, without the audience at
the academy being aware OF any change
in the manner of the lecturer. He thinks
with the telephone thus perfected its
usefulness will cause its introduction to
be very extensive.
Mr.. Bentley said that it would be prac-
ticable to place transmitter in front of
clergyman, and to locate it in the
pulpit that the apparatus would be
scarcely, if at all, visible to the congre-
cation, and that the sermon preached
from that pulpit could be distinctly

Decline Of the Gypsy Race.

The tremendous vitality of that strain
of blood, which has now been traced
back by pathological researches to its
Hindoostanic origin, and which COM
menced its era of perpetual pilgrimage
and exile no less than five hundred
years before Christ, and has now COM
pleted its painful orbit from the ex-
IRENE east to the farthest west, is not
yet entirely outworn, although it is
greatly dissipated. Specimens of the
true physiognomy marked with all the
evidence of untainted blood, and bear
ing the imprint of centuries of grief and
isolation, as Matthew Arnold wrote of
the gypsy girl seen at the Isle of Man,
can be found among the wandering
bands in all the countries Of Europe,
and will possibly exist for some time to
come. In countries like Spain or Bo-
hemia, where the conditions of life in
their rudeness and simplicity are still
suited to their habits and tastes, there
is probably little change to be noted,
either in the character or number of
the gypsies, and the influence of the
surroundings in modifying their nature
will be very slow. As civilization
presses upon them too hardly, the Ger
man gypsies and others in eastern
Europe find place of refuge in Russia,
which will long remain a suitable hab-
itat for the wandering tribes. tits GER
tain, however, that in England and
France and in the rore cultivated coun-
tries of Europe, tie influence of modern
civilization is becoming much more
rapid and irresistible among the gypsies
than at any time since their advent
into central Europe from Hungary in
the fourteenth century, and that they
are either degenerating or disappearing.
The conditions Of life suitable to their
existence have been so rapidly destroyed
by the advent of railroads and other
tremendous developments of industrial
and social improvements in the past few
years, that the gypsies find it impossible
to exist after their old nomadic fashion,
and have either emigrated or become
ordinary members of society. Spring

A Seaaouabie Hint,

The Boston Commercial Bulletin, reminding
its readers that the next few weeks give the
best season of the year to "plant fences, sup
plies some very remarkable figures as to the
use of wire fence, and especially Of the Barb
Fence Of the Washburn d Moen Manufacturing
Company. Siuce theintroduction Of wire fence,
twenty years ago, one hundred and fifty hou-
sand miles of wire fence have been constructed.
The Barb Fence has been before the public
only three seasons yet already tloenty,J four
thousand miles of this fence are in use in this
country and various parts Of the world. 1t is
in the highest favor with land owners, for farm
and home protection against depredators Of
the crops and orchards. The fence is con-
structed of Galvanized Steel Wire, and carries
steel barbs firmly attached by the process Of
manufacture patented in this country and very
widely abroad The Barb Fence is literally a
steel thorn hedge with all the defensive quail
ties of the most perfect hedge, and all the
durability of galvanized steel wire. 1t is cheap
as a material, easy in construction, and has
almost the life and tenacity Of stone wall

this was soon expended in relapse which fol-

application of some of the neighbors, it was
found that all the nourishment that the whole
family had received in the course of two days
was the half of a loaf of bread. Another Incl

EMPEROR md Boy.

Emperor and Boy.
One of the commissioners from Brazil
to the Philadelphia exposition told a
pleasant story of the emperor. A lad of
good family in Rio Janeiro found him
self left by the death of his father friend
less and penniless. One day, he saw
middle-aged gentleman, plainly dressed
and with singularly candid, kind
countenance, walking alone in the street.
The lads companion told him it was the
emperor, adding, "He chooses to be
unnoticed, to go up and down as the
father of his people,"
eff he is the father of his people,"
said the boy, che will take some inter-
est in me, and approaching the empe-
ror, though trembling with fright, he
told his story in few direct words.
Dom Pedro listened attentively.
" What is it that you want, then, my
boy ?"
AN education, your majesty. II I
had that l could be of some use to N.Y.
self and to others. Now I am of none. {"
" For what business did your father
design you p
"That of civil engineer, sir"
OOLno w uuo db uOOu, bO-LuOrrOWs
The emperor inquired concerning the
lad, and then took upon himself the
whole expense of his support and educs-
ton, sending him to this country to re =
ceive the latter. The fact which gives
more significance to the story is that the
emperor is comparatively a poor man,
his income being much less than that of
many wealthy Brazilian gentlemen
Even the education of this one boy in =
volved certain amount of self-sacrifice
on his part.
Dom Pedro cares nothing for luxury,
pomp, or even the honors of the world !;
his whole aim is the elevation and i'm
provement of his subjects. For this
purpose he has visited almost every CIV
ilized country, carrying home the best
in theory and practice, to experiment
upon in Brazil. He was accustomed on
his tours of investigation at the exposi-
ton, to go about jncOgnito, in shabby
coat and trousers, TO the great disap-
pointment of the crowd. They did not
recognize the fact that no insignia of
royalty could add dignity to such real
majesty of character.
