1yiss ETOsmer's Discovery.

A Penn, sylvania genius who has re-
ceived a two wears coating Of Boston
culture now sta ands forth to dispute
Miss Hosmers claiN to the new dis
covery. For two years past Mr.. Gary
has been experimenting with the sole
purpose of lifting magnetism from Its
Static position among the World $
operative powers with the rank OF
dynamic forces, it being, in his Opin-
ion. greater than all. He believed
that if he could make magnets do
work he could tap reservoir of ma
tural force that would be so illimitable
as to yield to man, for all time, all the
energy he would require to run all his
machinery, light his rooms and the
streets of his cities, and heat his
houses. The simple principal upon
which he bases his discovery is the
change of polarity in soft iron in the
magnetic field, when placed in certain
relations, to one or more liked mag
nets, and acting upon movable magnets
placed in juxtaposition, so as to pro
duce an oseillating or rotary motion,
according to the nature Of the machine
used. Mr.. Gary intended to keep his
discovery secret until it was perfected,
and then suddenly burst upon the
world with his tremendous Invention,
and overwhelm US with astonishment
at his genius; but this Hosmer affair
npsets that little scheme. He proposes
to fully explain his discovery to the
world. and calls on Miss Hosmer for
an explanation of hers. He is conf
dent that Miss Hosmer will not dis
pute his claim if it proves superior to
hers, and adds: If she has found
the same method that have, and
made the discovery before ! did, then
it is hers. | will not contest it, but
will take back seat, even though il
has been the result Of tho labor Of the

In the death of Colonel r. c.
Brinkley Memphis sustains the loss Of
an upright, high-minded, public
spirited citizen. He was quiet, un-
ostentatious man, whose charities were
never paraded in public, and who was
devoted to his family and friends. OF
late years his fortune and his health
have been impaired, and with increas-
ing cares and infrmities he became
more reserved, and was less seen by
the world. He was man of strong
convictions, and when he took a stand
he maintained it, regardless of con-
sequences. In manners he was as
gentle and affable as child, but he
had an iron will and always carried
out in public or private affairs his
ideas of what was right. Very wealthy
at one time, he never abused his power
or trampled on the rights of the poor
and dependent He was a sincere,
quiet, good man, who had few enemies
though misunderstood at times was
highly esteemed withal, and will be
sincerely mourned by all who knew
him intimately. He leaves wife anC
several children to whom will descend
an honorable name along with large
property.

CONGRESS meets next Monday and
all indications point to session of
unusual interest. Both parties will
endeavor to get in some fine work
bearing on the great Presidential can
vass of 1880. 1t might be said that
both parties will be on exceedingly
good behavior for the next two years.
Great interest is manifested in the
Presidents forthcoming message, and
conjecture is rife as to what position
he will take regard to alleged election
frauds in the South. He has an oppor-
tunity to disprove all suspicion that
he is partisan whose mind is poisoned
with prejudice, and we sincerely
hope he will do 50 by an expression of
impartial and enlarged views upon the
condition of the whole country. Dem
ocrats, it is said, will urge the imme-
diate consideration Of appropriation
bills. 1t is also said that some Of the
Democratic leaders have determined
to offer and pass resolution at the
first opportunity for an investigation
of the cipher dispatches, with a view
of heading off the Republicans, who
want to have the credit and make the
capital that may come from taking the
initiative in that matter. The devel-
opments of the next few weeks will
not only be highly interesting, but
fraught with unusual Importance.

How yfr. TiIden met Miss HaseI-

New York World.
Among the pleasant social events of
last evening was the wedding Of Mr..
and Mrs. James Mackin. After re-
ceiving her guests the bride was taken
into supper by Ex-Governor Tilden.
On again entering the parlOr, Mrs.
Mackin introduced Mr.. Tilden to sew
eral of her friends, and suddenly turn
ing to a young lady in delicately
brocaded silk, said Governor Tilden,
allow me to introduce you to Miss
Haseltine, of st. Louis, the lady to
whom you are engaged, you know"
Mr. Tilden was much embarrassed,
and blushed and hesitated, at thus be-
ing brought face to face, for the first
time, with the lady whose name has
recently been so publicly connected
with his, but, recovering himself, he
laughed over the widely circulated re-
ports, and treated the whole affair as a
good joke. The meeting between
these former strangers has been antic-
ipated with much interest, and formed
quite-an event of the evening.

"BOB HART" DEAD.
A Burnt-Cork Senator Who Was
Known in Every Variety Theater.

New York World,l
"Senator Bob Hart, - known on the
variety stage in every city of the
Union, died in the city hospital in
Jersey City last week. He had been
received there suffering from delirium
tremens. His name was James South
erland, and he was born near Port
Jervis in this State. lie first found
employment in the Erie railway
shop there, and finally became an en-
gineer on the line. He had some
original humor, ability as a mimic and
remarkable power of facial contor-
zion, and became known about the en-
gine- yards as an amateur actor. He
was known after he adopted the stage
as Robert Simpson, though by his
stage name Of bob Hart he was
most generally recognized. He was
in no way related to the other Harts,
Josh, Tony or John, but has brother
practicing law in this city. His spe-
cialty on the stage was stump speak
ing of the broadest burlesque charac-
ter. His speeches were the strongest
admixture of Latin quotations, hints
on ruta-baga culture and a thousand
other inconguous odds and ends, with
here and there a phrase to give them a
congressional flavor His action and
face, and particularly the management
of his mouth, added 10 the farce until
the house roared at his Yhimsicahties.
In the West he was a great favorite,
and every variety theater in the East
has been visited by him, He played
quite recently in a Bowery theater,
butthe Comique was his favorite thea
ter here. He was married, but leaves
no children. He was member Of the
Order Of Elks, who took charge Of
his funeral.
