most startling character; one which upsets the
whole order OF. society, tramples upon me

and Inherent virtue. The proposition fs too
preposterous to need refutatlon. strong CON

theory and fact, Is presented by the ettraord1,

BONDS AND STOCKS.

Editor Democrat relation to Judge
Charles Gayarre's artieie In your last Sun
days paper, [ beg to state that it is not be-
cause bonds are better than real estate that
they are sought after, because they are lower
now than before the war and perhaps than
ever since, but simply because they are more
convenient to gamble with, easier carried,
thus assisting in pandering 10 mans natural
inclinations, idleness and wish for excitment.
Before the war when it was not considered
gambling to work bonds, stocks, etc. they
were higher than now, because only the sur
plus capital was invested Ia them merely as q
sort OF reserve.
Now men put their all and sometimes that
Of others in speculations and gambling In
bonds and stocks instead Of legitimate trade.

banks were put out in manufactures or the

New ORLEANS, May I'll, 1873.
Editor Democrat In an article headed
"The Rights OF an Informer," In your issue of
Tuesday, you have placed me before the com
munity in an unjust light. The facts are sim
ply these:
Police officers have for years past been re-
duired to make arrests OF persons for viola
ton of act No 9of 1874. 1t has been considered
as much part OF their duty us to arrest per
sons vending without license, or for other vio-
ations Of law.
with law, as understood by the force,
arrested Nicotia aud Saloy, and now the
question Is as to the constitutionality of the
act No. O. Recorder Miltenberger ut one time
imposes fine OF $25. us in the case Of Manuel
Bacque who was released by the judge when
the city RENTED the fine, and at another
time decides against the act. as in the case OF
Saloy Recorder Smith decides in favor Of
the constitutionalty Of the act.
In the meantime information Is brought tc
me that parties arrested by me under this
supposed law will bring suit for damages for
false arrest and Imprisonment. In this con.
flict Of opinion where the doctors in the law
disagree, have sought to have the question
of law speedily settled with the view purely
and simply Of having police officers duty
defined.
We have no desire to arrest and drag per
sons to prison under questionable statutes
and your imputatiOn Of q pecunary motive
is unjust
/ have never received penny from these
cases or from the Lottery Company, ant
simply desire to know my duty and to per
form it according to law.
Respectfully yours, JAMES Il. KELLY.

The crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1877-1878, 1878-05-30

jokes incidental to an introduction TO an
auraphone, always hugely enjoyed by the
inventor and his attaches. SUBSEQUENT
experiments proved the exquisite sensi.
tiveness Of the machine. The faintest
whisper, the ticking of clock, the rolling
of lead pencil over the desk, the tearing
of small piece of newspaper, sigh, a
tune hummed in the lowest register-all
were successfully delivered in the room
above, in exaggerated volume, At night
when the quiet is more profound, Mr.. Edi-
son informed us that he could plainly hear
the purring Of his cat in the office below,
The effect to be produced by the intro
duCton of the aurophone will be wonder
full. When all walls have ears, literally,
what istO become of our condolences With
the spy ever in wait for us, not only to
repeat them, but also to manufacture their
indisputable proof for transmission and
preservation, what are we to do? Will So
ciety become thoroughly honest, virtuous,
and good? or will it be torn asunder by
disscnsiOn and relegated TO savagery?
When a mans sins are popping up in
judgment at all times and places; when
man is forced to go through the world with
Il window, as it WERE in his bosom, will it
longer be pleasant or even an endurable
place to live in? And yet to face this ac-
tual contingency we are brought by Mr..
Edison and his new auraphone.
The subject for contemplation is so en-.
tirely new and so absolutely startling in its
nature, that we may well shrink from con-
sidcring its more serious aspects, in view
of its almost boundless possibilities and
results. But there is, happily no shade
without sunshine, and it is not without its
comical, though not less veXatious sides.
Fifty or sixty dollars at most Mr. Edison
informed us, would cover the expense of
placing one of these machines, or mechan.
lcal ears, in the ceiling of any room, so
nicely concealed as to escape observation,
and capable of belngso nicely adjusted that
"the dropping of a pin upon the carpeted
floor could be heard in the room above"
