border HUMANS.

A prominent citizen of Corpus
Christi, Texas, in letter to Represeu-
tative Schliecher, gives the following
particulars Of the recent horrid but
cherries perpetrated in several border
counties by Mexican raiders, disguised
as Indians. The writer says:
~ have lived in the counties of San
Patricio, Live Oak and Neucca for
thirty years und have been through all
the troubles Of the frontier. / have
never seen such Wholesale slaughter.
They took little boys from seven to
twelve years old, and two men on horse
back would hold them up by their
hands while third would take out
their entrails. The men they would
shoot aud take out their entrails. This
was seen by women aud men who
were hid i'll the brush. and We found
the bodies as it was told to US, and in
the manner stated. The killed amount.
ed to about twenty-five men and fifteen
children from seven to fourteen years
old.
This raid was made to get horses for
the Mexican army. aud AIN told by
good authority that all the raiders re-
ceive is the money they can get with
other valuables, aud one doller n head
for all the horses they bring safe over
the Rio Grandc."

Tie PhonoKrnph.

Those uuacquainted with tho mech.
anical construction OF Edison's last and
most wonderful invention, may gather
knowledge Of it from the following
Washington letter describing its recent
presentation before the Senate and
House Committees on patents, by its
inventor.
"The Phonograph is cylinder
covered with small spiral grooves At
the end is n crank by which it may be
turned. The speaking disc or diaph-
ragm rests upon the cylinder, and on
the outer side is mouthpiece. On
the inner side of this a delicate steel
point is adjusted 80 rs to follow the
grooves as the cylinder revolves. This
cylinder is covered with tin foil-the
crank is turned, while the inventor
talks, sings, shouts and whistles into
the mouthpiece Of the instrument, and
the sound waving on the reverse side
OF the diaphragm or tympanum forces
the needle to make impressions upon
the tin foil. Reversing the instrument
the needle drops into the same points
in the groove as the cylinder revolves.
These indentations cause sound waves
to be given back from the mouthpiece
in the exact tones OF voice, with their
original pathos and intonations. and so
distinct that they were plainly heard
by every one in the room. "Old Ned"
was sung, Yankee Doodle" whlstled,
poetry was recited, $. ). Cox made n
speech, aud when the cylinder was re-
ycrsed. and again Set III motion, whis.
tie, speech and poetry all sounded
clear and distinct. One unbelieving
member thought it was ventriloquism
and so insisted upon Edison lie sving
the room. after which he tried the ex-
pertinent himself. aud leaning back
in his chair, with face full OF aston
ishment exclaimed, "I'll he id if the
thing don't talk" We would like to
tell more of the wonderful inventor
and invention, but space forbids."

The London ''Tlmes- on Ameri-
cnn institutions.

Reports having reached England that
grave apprehensions are felt in this
country, that great Communistic up
rising is about to take place. from
which the worst results are anticipated,
the London Tunes, in sllusion to these
alarming reports expresses its faith in
our Democratic institutions in the fol-
lowing sensible language:
"If, as We will not anticipate. the
United States is destined to 90 through
a social crisis Of this kind, We shall
doubles bear again as we used to hear
fifteen years ago. a good deal about the
evil Of democratic institutions. II,
however, it is the weakness of the insti-
tutions like those OF America to give
tolerant encouragement to all sorts of
experiments in social and political Or
ganization; 1t is their strength to sur
vive them. to profit by their success.
and TO be little worse for their failure.
The fabric OF American society il SO
strong it can sustain with little or no
injury shocks which would be fatal
to weaker and more effete constitu-
tions.
In the United States freedom of dis
cussion is the safety valve through
which a great deal of supeauous polit.
ical steam escapes. Americans have
political sagacity enough to distinguish
sharply between intemperate or even
revolutionary speech and rebellious
action. We do not doubt if they have
to zeal with any dangerous form of
Communism, they will deal with it ef-
fectively."
The Times is keen observer of pass.
ing events and those Of the slightest
political significance in America, have
not escaped it's discerning notice. The
unparalleled aud steady progress of the
United States through century Of
Democratic rule, has about silenced the
carpings OF believers in the stability OF
none but monarchical governments.
