TIE DECLINE AND FALL OF BEECHER-
IsM.-It is significant fact Of the altered
sentiment of this community that not a
daily paper in New York supports Beecher,
and some of the structures and comments
on him aud his course have been terrible.
His influence here is completely UNDER
mined. VIM. Cullen Bryant said little
while ago he had noticed that Beecher
wasn't invited to speak on great occasions
any more. Had the Beecher of 1868 taken
the same stand as the Beecher of 1873 has
taken ON the endless punishment question,
he would have split the evangelical church a;
but the latter Beecher's opinions have had
no more effect Oh public sentiment than the
firing of blank cartridges in the air. There
is something terrible in the Nemesis, which
invisibly aud impalpably follows that man
in spite of his outward success and the pro-
testations of his admires. | think good
many people here were struck with the con-
trast between his jubiiant air and friskness
and the deep agitation and fearful sorrow
OF Tiiton, who held his head between his
hands while the tears dropped to the floor.
And most people can tell an actor from IA
man ia time.

USES OF THE PHONOGRAPH.

For public USES we shall have galleries
where photograph sheets will be preserved
as photographs as books now are. The
utterances of great speakers and singers
will there be kept for thousand years.
In these galleries spoken languages will be
preserved from century to century, with all
the peculiarities of pronunciation. dialect,
or brogue. AS we go now to see the stere-
opticon, we shall 60 to public halls to hear
these treasures OF speech and song brought
out and reproduced as loud, or louder, than
when first spoken or sung by the truly great
oaes of earth. Certainly, within a dozen
years, some of the great singers will be
induced to sing into the ear of the phono-
graph, and the electrotyped cylinders thence
obtained will be put into the hand organs
of the streets, and we shall hear the actual
voice of Christine Nilsson or Miss Cary
ground out at every corner.
In public exhibitions, also, we shall have
reproductions of the sounds of nature, and
of noises familiar and unfamiliar. Nothing
will be easier than to catch the sounds of
the waves on the beach, the roar of Niagara,
the discords of the streets, the noises of
animals, the putting and rush of the railroad
train, the rolling of thunder, or even the
tumult of battle.
When popular airs are sung into the
photograph, and the notes are then repro
duced in reverse order very curious and

duced, having no apparent resemblance to
those contained in their originals. The
instrument may thus be used as a sort of
musical kaleidoscope, by means of which
an infinite variety of new combinations
may be produced from the musical compo-
sitlons now in existence.
The speaking photograph will, doubt
less, be applied to bell-punches, clocks,
complaint boxes in public conveyances and
to toys of al! kinds. 1t will supersede the
short hand writer in taking letters by die
tation and in the taking of testimony be-
fore referees. Photographic letters will be
sent by mail, the foil being wound on paper
cylinders of the size of a finger. 1t will
recie poems in the voice of the author,
and reproduce the speeches of celebrated
orators. Dramas will be produced in which
all the parts will be "well spoken-with
good accent, and good dscretion;" the
original matrce being prepared on one
machine provided with a rubber tube hav-
ing several mouthpieces; and Madam Tus-
saud's figures will hereafter talk, as we'll
as look, like their great prototypes

THE DIAMOND LADY.

The most interesting feature of the
Seventh Regiments reception in the Acad-
envy of Music on Wednesday night was
the appearance of the Diamond Lady. Her
bodice famed with costly jewels. She
wore a satin dress, with point lace over
skirt. The train was fully six feet long,
and was literally covered with diamonds.
At least a pint of the precious metals were
sprinkled over the glossy fabric. The
Diamond Lady's waist was spanned by
zone of blazing brilliants that sparkled
like the belt of Orion. 1t was three inches
wide. \ roseate wreath showered with pre-
cious gems was looped obliquely around
her skirt, and diamond crucifix resembling
the glowing stars of the Southern Cross
was suspended from necklace of soltaires
as large as filberts.
The dress of the Diamond Lady was cut
pompadour. Its folds seemed Respondent
with seeds of light. Pale fires flashed from
her jewelled bracelets, and the richest pre-
cious stones twinkled on her fingers. Cine

VIRGINIA CITY. June 29.-At three
o'clock this afternoon Sutro tunnel had
not been connected with the Savage
workings. Sounds coming from the
tunnel heading wonld seem to indicate
that the face of the Savage drift on the
1,640 level has been left to the east
some ten or fifteen feet, if sounds can
be relied upon. The tunnel men are
pushing straight for the west wall of
Comsteck. In that case they have ESQ
feet yet to run, and the connection will
be delayed for at least month. The
fact that Mr.. Sutro remains in San
Francisco gives plausibility to this sup
position.

covetous of a neighbor's living or

gain in the concentration of as many
interests AZ possible at one point, thus
securing the compound multiplication

A town, numbering 10000. in a
