AN EXPERIMENT FOR BoYs.-Take two
empty oyster cans and stout smooth string.
Let small hole be made in the bottom OF
each can. through which the string, say fifty or
one hundred feet 10 length, is passed aud &C.
cured. Then let the experimenters set up their
telegraph by choosing their stationsas far apart
as the tightly stretched string will permit, and
while one operator holds his car to one Of the
cans and bis companion his mouth 10 the can
at the other end Of the line. they will iod that
a conversation cau be carried on. so that low
tones, and even a whisper will be distinctly
perceptible. What usually most astonshcs
those who make the experiment for the hrst
time is that the sound does not seem to come
from the person speaking at the other eod q, o.
the string, but to issue from tho can itse'i'
which is held to the ear of the listener. ms
at first appears to be deception. but It 10 real
~ not so. The ear tells the exact truth. Ihe
voice that is heard really comes from the can
that is held to the ear ofthe nearer. The voice
Of the speaker communicates sound producing
vibrations to the wall Of the can, with which
his voice is 10 immediate contact. These VI
brations are communicated to the string; but

A person may stand by the string while Inc

Editor Regisitr-I fully agree with
aTrue Blue Democrat" in regard to
selecting Delegates to the Democrat
ic County Convention soon to be
held. The plan is beyond doubt
the fairest that could be suggested at
this late day. 1t might not suit
some men, who have been old in
pulling the wires, but it will be APP
proved aud endorsed by every man
who desires to have an honest and
fair expression of the people in Con-
vention. l will say that SO far as |
am informed, the Graham Democra'
cy will select their Delegates to the
County Convention in the manner
suggested by 9True Blue Democrat"
This is no time for Conventions to
be manipulated, as there seems 70 be
a determination to frown down all
attempts at a "set up" and | advise
candidates and their friends to be
very careful how they act in the
premises. DOnot show too much
zeal for your choice for any of the
offices to be filled, or the people will
become suspicious, Let the Demo,
Gratis of each District, adopt the plan
suggested, and have no hesitation
in saying that the Democracy will
give the candidates selected under
such an arrangement their hearty
and undivided support,

The Washington special to the
Enquirer has the following; 1t be-
gins to look as if John Sherman will,
succeed in his plan of defeating leg.
islation to repeal the Resumption
Law, and that those who believe it
will be repealed will realize when
too late that they have been imposed
upon by his cunning and trickery.-
While the features of the bill now
being formulated by the Senate FL
nance Committee have a roseate look
they fail to wipe out the odious law
which puts Sherman in power to
speculate with our credit while cha
sing his phantom of resumption
II is believed by many too, that the
bill in process of incubation meets
his approval, and was even suggest
ed to him as a middle ground to
stand upon for those who have con,
stituences behind them who demand
the immediate repeal of the present
law, and who can, by supporting the
new scheme intended as compro-
mise, beg the question by asserting
that it was the only thing that could
be got. The more the new scheme
is analysed the palmer does Sher'
mans ear-marks appear in it. ln-
deed, the contemplated bill is the
opinions boiled down given by Sher-
man in his famous interview with
the Finance Committee. Forced by
public opinion to yield in his relent-
less policy of contraction, he now
seeks to defeat the will of Il majority
of the people by offering a milk-and'
water measures, which, while it re-
pudiatos the opinions he has hereto.
fore held, does not meet the necessi
ties Of the hour If the friends of re-
sumption repeal are not on the alert
they will too soon number themselves
among shcrman's victims. That
this is suspicious is the fact that
bondholdcrs are willing to accept the
new bill, and argue that it is really
an initiation measure. They say that
the repeal of the eighty per cent
greenback retiring clause of the Re
sumption Act will stop contraction
and that, under the circumstances
to restrict Sherman in his contract
ion policy will accomplish contrary
result of imitation. 1t is an advance
of the bondholders in an insidiou'
form, and the Democrats Of the Sen
ate want to make haste slowly il
adopting it, as supplementary legis
lation to the passage Of the House
bill for the repeal of the Resumption
Law it is well enough, but it isacom
promise for that bill. 1t is -an-ene
my in disguise, which shouldbe mel
with n bold front.

of the notorious New York Ring,
died in Ludlow street Jail, Friday,
18th inst, at twelve o'clock. He
had been dangerously i'll for several
days, but passed away without a

was nervous exhaustion and clogg-

the law, the old "boss," enfeeblcd by
confinement, and broken in spirit,
