RATHER PERSONAL.

The Graphic man would seem to
know all about it. The ladies may ac-
cuse him of lack of gallantry for
these remarks: There is loud indig-
nation against the men who abscond
with money. Nobody thinks OF the
inside lives of those unfortunate men.
Nobody calls to mind the unhappy
and expensive homes which they en-
dured for years ere they ran away.
Nobody thinks of the wives and
daughters who could not live out of a
fashionable avenue, nor exist without
a carriage, or two or five hundred
dollar sealskin, or their regular sum-
mer trip to the springs. Nobody calls
to mind how the doomed men after
curtain lectures at night and uncur-
tanned lectures in the morning, argu-
ing for a new carpet, new set OF fur
niture, or new dresses for the girls,
how these men, we say, went down
town to their days work halfdistract-
ed and desperate, with their hastily
swallowed rolls and coffee half chok-
ing them; how gradually they realize
that their business in life was simply
to supply the Mrs, - with bank
bills, and while they were earning
greenbacks how the women were on
Broadway getting rid of them. No
wonder these men occasionally be-
come tired out and cut and rum

MIND YOUR P,S.

A writer puts a great deal of good
sense and good many p's, in a small
space, in the following: "Persons
who patronize papers should pay
promptly, for the pecuniary prospects
of the press have peculiar power in
pushing forward public pros
perity. If the printer is paid prompt
ly, and his pocket-book kept plethoric
by prompt paying patrons, he puts his
pen to paper in peace; he paints his
pictures of passing events in more
pleasant colors, and the perusal of his
paper is more pleasure to his people.
Paste this piece of proverbial philoso-
ply in some place where all persons
can perceive it. Be pleased, also, to
ponder upon thyself patiently, ,and per-
severingly. and pro6tably, and persist
ently practice its precepts perpetually.

LIFE LENGTHENED.

l. Cultivate an equable temper !;
many a man has fallen dead in a fit of
passion.
2. Eat regularly not over thrice a
day, and nothing between meals.
3. Go to bed at regular hours. Get
up as soon as you wake of yourself,
and do not sleep in the daytime, at
least not longer than ten minutes be-
fore noon.
4. Work always by the day, and not
by the job.
5. Stop walking before you are
very much tired, before you are
tagged out
6. Cultivate generous and an &C
commodating temper.
Z. Never cross a bridge before you
come to !; this will save half the trouble
of life.
8. Never eat when you are not hum
cry, nor drink when you are not thirs.
ty.
8. Let your appetite always come
uninvited.
10. Cool off in place greatly warm
er than the one in which you have
been exercising; this simple rule
would prevent incalculable sickness
and save millions of lives every year.
IL. Never resist call of nature for
= single moment.
IL. Never allow yourself to be
chilled through and through it is
this which destroys SO many every
year, lin a few days sickness, from
pneumonia, called by some lung fever
or inflammation of the lungs.
13. Whoever drinks no liquids at all
will add years of pleasurable existence
to his life. OF cold or warm drinks
the former are most pernicious ; drink
ing at meals induces persons to eat
more than they otherwise would, as
anyone can verify from experiment,
and it is excess in eating which devas-
tates the land with sickness, suffering
and death.
IA. After fifty years of age, if not a
day laborer. and sedentary persons af-
ter forty, should eat but twice a day,
in the morning and about four in the
afternoon persons can soon accustom
themselves to a seven hours interval
between eating, thus giving the stom-
ach rest; for every organ, without
adequate rest, will give out, rrcma-
turely.

is, and that which is to GOMEZ Halls

ANTIQUITY THE TELEPHONE

ANTIQUITY OF THE TELEPHONE
When King Solomon said that
there was nothing new under the
sun, it is hardly believed that he had
the telephone in his mind. That,
at least, is modern invention. So
one would have thought. But it ap
pears from correspondence lately
published in the London Athen9um
that its claims to novelty are not SO
we'll founded as its inventor and ad-
mirers would desire. The following
is an extract from the correspondence
in question:
"Just two hundred and ten years
ago Robert Hook. Fellow of the Roy
al Society, published work entitled
'Micrographia; or, some Physiologic-
al Descriptions of Minute Rodies,
made by Magnifying Glasses, Obser-
vations and Inquiries thereupoD.
"This, the first English-treatise on
the uses OF the microscope, is still in
high estimation. In the preface &C.
ours the following remarkable para
graph: 'And az glasses have highly
promoted our seeing, SO tits not i'm.
probable bat that there may be found
many mechanical inventions to i'm
prove our other senses, of hearing,
sm-lling, tasting, touching. 'Tis not
impossible to hear whisper at fur
longs distance, it having been already
done; and perhaps the nature of the
thing would not make it more impos-
siblc, though that furlong be ten times
multiplied. And though some fa-
nous authors have affirmed it impos-
sipie to hear through the thinnest
plate of Muscovy glass, yet know
way by which 'tis easily enough to hear
one speak through wall yard
thick.
"It has not yet been thoroughly ex-
amined, how far Octocousticons may
be improved nor with what other ways
there may be of quickening our hear
ing, or conveying sound through 9TH
er bodies then (than) the Air for that
is not the only medium. 1 can assure
the reader. that 1 have by the help of
a distended wire, propagated the
sound to very considerable distance
in an instant, or with as seemingly
quick a motion as that of light, at
least incomparably swifter then (than)
that which at the same time was
propagated through the Air; and this
not only in straight line, or direct,
but in one bended in many angles"

Several of the magicians who per-
form in public, do what they call the
goldfish trick The juggler stands
upon the stage, throws a handkerchief
over his extended arm, and produces
in succession three or four shallow
glass dishes filled to the brim with
water in which live goldfish are
swimming. OF course the dishes are
concealed somehow upon the person
Of the performer.
Peter Lamb, the young fellow who
lives near me, discovered how the
trick was done, and he offered to do it
the other night at Magruder's party,
for the entertainment of the company,
So the folks all gathered in one end of
the parlor, and in a few moments
Lamb entered the door at the other
end.
Ladies and gentlemen, you will
perceive that 1 have nothing about
me except my ordinary clothing, and
yet I shall produce presently two
dishes filled with water .=and living
fish. Please watch me narrowly
Then Peter flung the handkerchief
over his hand and arm, and we could
see that he was working away vigor-
ously at something beneath it. He
continued for few moments, and
still the gold. fish did not appear. Then
he began to grow very red in the face,
and we saw something was the matter.
Then the perspiration began to stand
i'm beads upon Peters forehead, and
Mr.. Magruder asked him if he was
well. Tho company laughed, and the
magician grew redder. But he kept
on fumbling beneath that handker-
chief and apparently trying to reach
around under his coat-tails. Then we
heard something snap, and the next
moment a quart Of water ran down
the wizards left leg and spread out
over the carpet. BY this time he
looked as If the grave would be a
welcome refuge. But still he contin-
ued to feel around under the hand
kerchief. At last another snap was
heard, and another quart of water ran
down the right leg Of his trousers and
formed pool about his shoe. Then
the necromancer hnrriedly said that
the experiment had failed somehow,
and he darted into the dining-r0om.
followed him, and found him sitting
on the sofa, trying to remove his
pantaloons. He exclaimed:
ooh, gosh! Come here, quick, and
pull these off They're soakin' wet.
and I've got fifteen live goldfish in
side my drawers fiippin' around, and
raspin' the skin with their fins enough
to set man crazy. Ouch +! Oh, Moses
Hurry that shoe off, and grab that fish
there at my left knee, or I'll have to
howl right outp
Then we undressed him and picked
the fish out of his clothes and / dis.
covered that he had had two dishes
full of water covered with india-ru
ber tops strapped inside his trousers
behind. In his struggles to get at
them he had torn the covers to rags.
We fixed him up in pair of Magru-
der's trousers, which were six inches
too short for him, and then he climbed
over the back fence and went home.
He says, now, that the next time he
gives exhibitions in public, he intends
to confine himself to ventriloquism.-
