The Chinese authorities have discovered
some OF the principal causes of the exis-
ting terrible famine in some of the provin-
ces OF that country. and they will seek. by
the ;sioption OF remedies that suggest
themselves, to prevent u repetition oil it
on SO extensive a scale. They find that
the use of opium has been great cause
of the famine. The drug has had debil-
itating effect upon the people, and they
have been less industrious than heretofore.
Large tracts OF their most productive soil
have been given up to the cultivation of
poppies, aud supply in 1t re had become
eatly reduced, and season of exces-
sive drought necessarily resulted in the
starvation OF millions. In some districts
the officials have forbidden the cultivation
Of p pppy, and threaten to contiScate the
land ot those who violate the edict. The
government will not attempt to interfere
with the use OF opium, ana will eneour-
age it's importation because OF the reve-
nue. thus derived, but it will increase the
production OF grain as a safeguard against
famine, and ty increasing the cost OF
opium its use Will be lessened.

NOVEL Uses OF THE TELEPHONE,

Various are the surprises which bios
som out OF that wonderful instrument,
the telephone. In France they have ap-
piled it for marine purposes. The French
war steamer Desaix had to tow out from
Toulon the old ship Argonaute con-
Quoting wire was rolled round one of the
towing cables, with an end ON board each
vessel. The electric current was formed
by the action OF the sea on the copper
sheathing OF the ships. A telephone was
introduced in the circuit on each and
communication established between them
During the whole time OF the navigation
conversation could be carried on as easi-
ly between the officers of the two vessels
as il they had been seated in the same
cabin. The next step was to apply the
telephone to the work of the diver. One
of the glasses OF the helmet is replaced
by copper plate, in which is inserted
telephone so that the man has only
slight movement of the head to make in
order to receive communications or re-
port observations. The advantages of
such an arrangement are obvious. Fre-
queLtly at sea the necessity arises of ex-
amiDing the keel or bottom OF a ship.
The diver descends, and is able to give
an account of ali he sees and does and
receive instructions without having to be
brought to the surface to give explana-
tions. as has hitherto been the case. BY
the use OF the telephone man at the sea
can remain in constant verbal communi-
cation with those at the surface But the
most singular application of the tee-
phone comes from New South Wales,
where Mr.. Severn, an enthusiastic expert
menter, claims that he has made the deaf
To hear with it. After describing a very
simple telephone witch he constructed
out of a tin pot, the closed end of which
he opened and tied over it piece OF
parchment. passing a fine string through
the centre and making the knot inside,
MIR. Severn says: Make loop in the
string some three feet long. put this loop
over the forehead OF the listener (the
deaf man,) cause him to place the palms
of his hands flat and hard against the
ears, let the loop pass over the hands.
and now this listener will hear the small
est whisper, let him be deaf or not. The
fact may appear extraordinary; it is.
nevertheless. true that deaf man may
thus be made to hear the voice, music,
ETC."

as the Republican candidate for Congress
man from the Second district. Mr.. Fl. has
already served our people faithfully and
acceptably through enc session of Con-
gress, and his denomination without
serious opposition, is only a proper and
Just reward for past good conduct. He
is himself so we'll known, and his record
on all the leading questions of the day
is so thoroughly understood by the people
of this district, that it is unnecessary for
rs to say much concerning him to-day,
and we will content ourselves by re-
marking that We believe his nomination
is the best that could have been made,
and. that his reelection by handsome
majority is as nearly certain as any fu-
ture event can we'll be.

THE CONFESSIONAL CONVENTION

The Republican convention for the
nomination of candidate for Member
of Congress from the second district was
held at Garrett on the afternoon of
Wednesday of this week. The conven-
ton was very largely attended. Every
county in the district was fully repre-
scented by delegates, and large number
of outsiders were also present. Much
enthusiasm was manifested, and from
the start it was evident that practically
there was but one candidate in the field.
Before balloting commenced, the friends
of Col. Hallowell withdrew his name,
and Mr.. Haskell was nominated on the
-frst ballot, by vote of 20 for him to
IL for Capt, Annable, of Bourbon coun-
ty. The opposition to Mr.. Haskell came
entirely from delegations from Franklin
and Anderson counties, and from part of
the Bourbon county delegation, and
came from matters that will doubtless
be largely forgotten before election day
comes around.
The platform adopted by the conven-
xtion is good one, and will undoubtedly
make votes for the candidate. We have
space this week to give only the sections
relating 10 finances, which are as follows:
f. That experience having shown that
the United States notes, commonly called
greenbacks, originally issued by Re-
publican administration during the war,
are admirably adapted to all the pur.
poses of permanent paper circulation,
we hereby declare ourselves in favor of
retiring the notes of the national banks,
and making the greenback currency the
sole paper currency of the country, and
demand that it be issued in sufficient
volume to fully accommodate all the
wants'of ,busipess, without depreciation
in value, and that they be made receiva-
BILE as for ell debts and discs, whether
public or private.
5. That we denounce the proposed
issue of irreieemable fiat scrip, as de-
perture from the original and true
greenback doctrine, as measure of un-
disguised reputation of solemn con.
tracts and obligations, and as sure to
result, il carried out, in universal bank
ruptcy and the total ruin of the produc-
inc classes
