WASHINGTON. CORRESPONDENCE.

WASHINGTON, II. C., May I. l-7S.
The scenes witnessed before the
Senate aud House Committees on
Patents last Friday recalled to mind
the early days when Morse, under
great difficulties, was seeking To in.
terrSt Congress in the construction
of the first tclrgrapl-a line be.
tween this city and Baltimore.
The master genius of this later oc.
casion WAS Thomas A. Edison, who
sat az the table before the Phono.
graph, his latest invention, and one
that has made his fame world wide.
This young man, Just pas, thirty,
has already taken out lbs patents,
mostly in telegraphy aud electrical
apparatus. The committee rooms
were filled with Senators, members,
and men aud women from among
the most cultured and scientific in
the land. All eyes were upon the
beardless Edison, whose shaggy
brown hair stood out at every angle
in spite Of comb aud brush. His eyes
of piercing gray looked out from
under a high arched forehead. while
his prominent nose aud nervous fin.
gers suggested the artisan just in
from his work shop.
The Photograph is cylinder
covered with small spiral grooves,
At the end is a crank by which it
may be turned. The speaking disk
or diaphragm rests against the cyl
inder, and on the outer side is a
mouth piece. On the inner side Of
this delicate steel point is adjusted
SO as 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
mouth piece of the instrument, and
the sound waving on the reverse
side of the diaphragm or tympanum
forces the needle to make impress.
sions upon the tin foil. Reversing
the instrument the needle drops
into the same points in the groove
as the cylinder revolves. These in.
dentations cause sound waves to be
given back from the mouth piece in
the exact tones Of voice, with their
original pathos and intonations, and
40 distinct that they were distinctly
heard by every one in the room.
"Old Uncle Ned" was sung, "Yan.
kee Doodle whistled, poetry was
recited, 9. 8. Cox made a speech,
and when the cylinder was reversed
and again set i'll motion, whistle,
speech aud poetry all sounds forth
clear and distinct. One unbeliev.
ing member thought it was ventril.

leaving the room, after which he
tried the experiment himself, and

turned TO the scenes Of his child
hood, and, again in Richmond, call

Shelton thus describes the meet
ing:
~ was ready to 90 to church
when servant entered and told me
that a gentleman in the parfor wish

was amazed at seeing him q. e. Poe
but knew him instantly. He came
mp to me in the most enthusiastic
manner, and said, ooh! Elmira, is il

to church-that Inever let anything
interfere with that, and that he
must call again. When
he did cali again he renewed his az.
dresses. | laughed; he looked away
serious, and said he was in earnest,
and had been thinking about it for
long time. When l found out
that he was very serious, became
serious also, and told him that il he
would not take a positive denial he
must give me time to consider. He
answered, a love that hesitated
was not love for him.
But he stayed a long
time, and was very pleasant and
cheerful. He came to visit me fire..
quently. went with
him to the Exchange Concert.
ROOM and heard him read. .
When he was going away he begged
me to marty him, and promised he
would he everything 1 could desire.
He said, when he left, that he was
going to New York to wind up
some business matters. and that he
would return to Richmond as soon
as he had accomplished that, al.
though he said, at the same time,
that he had u presentiment that he
should never see me any more. -

there was a partial understanding.
He WAS gentleman in

A Memphis letter to the Chicago
Times contains the following:
That whispered my friend, sis
Mrs. jefferson Davis

a very stout lady cOnversing in an

woman known rs quite power be.

telligent and very amiable.loOking
woman. She can not weigh less
than 200 pounds, which she carries
with us much grace as could be ex
pected of such excess of avoirdu
pOis. Her face is round and mark
ed by no striking feature, without il
is her month, which is large and
very expressive. Her hair is worn
plain, and its glossy blackness is
streaked with gray. When a smile
is playing around her mouth, the
face is rather sadly composed one
She wore long cloak OF thin cloth
over black merinO dress made in
simple but stylish manner. As
she sat there chatting with her com.
panion she impressed me more as a
kind.hearted, gOOd.natured and ex-
ceedingly afiable woman than any
other apparent characteristic.
$50 she is, and is very much liked,
particularly by young people, for
whom she has quite a penchant, =
replied my friend, as ! gave expires
sion to the opinion formed.
"That young man cOnversing with
her is struggling young lawyer who
is one Of her pets; u bright. generous
sort Of fellow. Few people fail to
like Mrs. Davis, though I've heard
ladies object to her free aud easy
