SEPARATION.

wall grown up between the two.
A strong, thick wall though all unseen:
None knew when the first stones were laid
Nor how the wall was built, / ween
And so their lives were quite apart,
Although they shared one board one bed:
A careless eye saw naught amiss,
Yet each was to the other dead.
He much absorbed in work and gain.
Grew soon unmindful OF his loss
hard Indifference worse than hate
Changed loves fine gold to worse than dross.
She suffered tortures all untold
Too proud to mourn, to strong too die:
The wall pressed heavy on her heart,
Her white face showed her misery.
Such walls are growing day by pay,
'Twixt man and wife, 'twixt friend and friend :
Would they could know who lightly build,
How sad and bitter is the end
A careless word, an unkind thought,
slight neglect, taunting tone,
Such things as these, before we know
Have laid the wallis foundation stone.

BOTTLED TALK.
THE EDISON SPEAKING PHoNoGRAPH-A
TRIUMPH OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.

| Professor Thomas A. Edison's marvellous
invention called the speaking phonograph.
was exhibited recently in Philadelphia.
The instrument was operated by Mr.. James
Adams, who has been for five years the as
sistant Of Professor Edison in the latter's
electrical and other experiments. The
machine occupied no more space than
would Webster's Unabridged, and it's
construction appeared almost as simple as
that of housewives coffee mill. 1t was
| fac simile of one which Professor Edison
is now constructing, and which is to have
a capacity of $4,000 words.
Mr.. Adams, before the performance be-
gan, thus explained the instrument I" In
this gutta percha moathpiece is a very
thin diaphragm, made of tin-type metal.
The vibrations of the voice jar the dia-
phragm, which has in its center, underneath,
fine steel point. Around this brass CYL
lnder which you see is closely and finely
grooyed by spiral, wrap a sheet of tin
foil. shove the mouthpiece up until the
steel point touches the tin foil, just above
the first groove on the left. Turning the
the cylinder with this crank l talk into the
mouthpiece. The diaphragm vibrates. caus-
ing the steel point to perforate the tin foil,
leaving little holes of different diameters,
and resembling the old Morse telegraphic
alphabet. The cylinder moves from left to
right until the steel point has gone over the
entire length of the spiral. Thus we have, |
as it were, stereotype plate of the voice.
From this plate matrix in sulphur (the |
most desirable substance for the purpose) |
can be formed, and years from now there
can be taken from that matrix other plat es
capable of the same work which you will |
see this one perform.
"Now l turn the cylinder back to the
starting place IN order that the steel point
may 60 over the perforations which it made
when talked into the mcuthpiece. The
steel point kept down by rubber spring
the diaphragm, trips from hole
to hole, causing the diaphragm to vibrate
as it did when | was talking into the
mouthpiece. This causing a corresponding
opening and closing of the valves of the
diaphragm the words, intonation and
accent are reproduced with perfect accura-
~. It would be impossible for any human
mimic to do it so well. The small end of
5his tin funnel is fixed in the mouth
piece to keep the reproduction from scat
,ering. Now, listen" Several gentlemen,
supposing that they would not
20 atle to hear without having their ears
lose to the funnel, were putting their
leads near the instrument, but Mr. Adams
old them that such a proceeding was un-
Necessary, as they could distinguish the
ounds well enough at distance.
Mr.. Adams, having wrapped sheet of
in foil around the cylinder, spoke into the
ncuthpiece in voice of ordinary pitch and a
ime, but with distinct articulation, mean
vhile slowly turning the crank the follow

Ee Wasn't Used to It.

Verdi, the eminent artist, who, being q
foreigners not well up in American inven-
tions, retired to his room in San Francisco
few nights since, and, after partially dis
robing himself, was startled by fearful
noises from an adjoining room. On the
still midnight air came these words:
"Give me the gold-I must have the
money now 70 and the reply, "Monster !!
would you murder me? Help! help !!
belpr'
Verdi had just learned enough about the
American District Telegraph Company's
instruments TO know very little about them,
but he started for the box in the hall Ia his
robe de nuit and called successively for all
that was ON the dial. Directly his calls
were answered. a ton of COAL a policeman,
. doctor, messenger and q squad Of the
fire brigade appeared, and the terrible trag-
edy resolved itself into private rehearsal
between the leading man and the heavy vii
liam of an amateur troupe, both Of whom

COP AND THE ANGELS LOOKED DOWN.
1t was rainy, and the streets were gloomy
an uninviting. An express wagon headed
the procession, in which sat an old, gray
haired lady beneath an umbrella, Ghlch
partially sheltered her and the driver from
the rain. She was bowed with grief and
sorrow, and wore that tired aud weary as
pect of despair which betokened hopeless
ness. Just behind her was q rough coffin
of plain, undressed pine-a pauper coffin.
What it contained could only be guessed
BY inference. In lumber wagon just be-
hind the coffin came family of children,
drenched with rain and shivering in their
vet rags. But THEY were all crying, and
bowed with anguish. 1t was sad sight,
and told a tale of poverty and sorrow in
language which spoke louder than words.
An aged widow, too proud to give her de-
ceased consort a pauper's burial. A sad,
and sorrowful family in a borrowed wagon.
No friends, no hearse, no coffin but a
rough pine box, no carriages nothing but
a drenching rain, gloomy journey and
dreary return. 1t was the most affecting
funeral that ever passed through the
streets of Kansas City .-Kaasas City Mo-,
Tsmrs.

Turning the crank backward until the
steel point touched the beginning Of Jack
and JILL" he again gave the forward
motion. The diakhragm's elecution of the
rhyme was on this occasion as good as
before, and the second conglomeration of
utterance was delivered by the vibrating
metal with all the characteristics of the
operators CALCULATIONS and recitation. For
the sake of novelty the steel point was now
caused to go along the perforated spiral
while Mr.. Adams whlstled, yelled and
shouted all sorts of ridiculous things into
the mouthpiece.
There is no electricity about the speaking
phonograph, and like many other great
inventions, it's construction is so simple,
and it's operations SO easily understood, that
person seeing it would probably ask him
self, "Now, why didn't l think of that ?''

Jack and Jill went np the hill
To get bucket of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Aud Jill came tumbling after.

Having reset the cylinder and fixed the
funnel in the meuthpiece he turned the
crank and the diapragm repeated the
rhyme, not only as distinctly as he had ut
tered it, but with so perfect mimicry of
the Scotch accent as to Gauss general out
burst of laughter, in which..the genial oper-
ator heartily joined.
Causing the steel point to proceed from
the ending of "Jack and Gill, Mr.. Adams
again put his mouth to the diaphragm and
uttered in more varying tones which had
range from almost whisper up to Il
screeching soprano the following:

A Gentle lint.

In our style of climate, with it's sud den changes of temperature, -rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in single day, ,--it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglect ed colds, half the deaths resulting di- rcctlv from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will pre- vent serious sickness, large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Con- sumption, Hemorrages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or any disease O. the Throat or Lungs, it's success is sam ply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Sylup is now sold in every town and village on this corti- nent. Sample bottles for trial, l0c. ; regular size 75c. For sale by J. NJ. Harkey & Rro.

A Campaign Islander.

When Dr. R. V. Pierce was candi- date for State Senator, his political opp ponents published q pretended analysis of his popular medicines, hoping there by to prejudice the people against him. His election bv an overwhelming ma- jority severely rebnked his traducers, who sought to impeach bis business integrity. No notice would have been taken of these campaign lies were it not that some of his enemies (and every successful business man has his full quota of envious rivals1 are republish- ing these bogus analyses. Numerous and most absurd formulas have been published, purporting to come from high authority; and is significant fact that no two have been at all alike H--conclusively proving the dishonesty of their authors.

.Gcrnnan Syrun."

No other medicine in the world was ever given such test of its curative qualities as Boschee's German Syrup. In three years two millions four hun dred thousand small bottles of this medicine were distributed free of charge by Druggists in the country to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Group, severe Coughs, Pneu- monia and other diseasef of the throat and lungs, giving the American people undeniablc proof thnt German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every town and vil- lage in the United States are recom- meuding it to their customers. Go to your Druggist, and ask what they know about it. sample bottles 10 cents. Regular size 70 cents. Three doses will relieve any case. For saie hy J. M. lIarkcy X Bro.

REUBEN c. BROWN.

We call attention to this gentleman's card in our announcement column to- day submitting his name to his fellow citizens as a candidate for next Sheriff. Mr. Brown is personally well known to many of our county people. For the past ten years he has been one of the hardworking farmers of our county, and no man commands more friendship from his neighbors than he. N Mr. B. is amply qualified to make an efficient, thorough-geing sheriff, and no man is possessed of more of that moral cour- age and determination which is neces- sary to make an impartial official than is Mr. B. We bespeak for Mir. B. fair consideration of his claims at the hands of his fellow-citizens.

 MT. T4eonidas B. Mann, the young man who it will be remembered left here some time ago for Florida, died at Archer, Fla, short time since. He had suffered with consumption for sev- eral years and went to Florida to regain his health, but his disease was too deep rooted and he is now numbered with the dead. He was highly esteemed by his acquaintances.-- State.
 MT. Mann had quite number of friends and some relatives here to whom the above sad intelligence will bring pang of sorrow and regret.
 --Has the town council the power to compel the Railroad to keep the track crossings in decent condition? If lit has why don't it have this matter attended to? Where the track crosses River Street it is almost impos- sible for q loaded wagon to get over the track. If the council can pass such q law, (and we suppose no one doubts it's DO wer to do so, it should at once enact an ordinance to compel each crossing to be graded up and made passable the entire width of the street.

At meeting of the bar in attendance upon the Circuit Court of Pope County, Arkansas, on the 4th day. of March, 1878, the following proceedings were had:
 On motion Hon. Sol. F.. Clark was appointed Chairman, and R. B. Wilson Secretary.
 The object of the meeting was ex- planned by Hon. l.. w. Davis, who rep resented that since the last term of the Circuit Court of Pope County the Hon. Frank Thach, member of the bar of Pope County and County and Probate Judge of the same had on the Sth day Of March, 1878, departed this life: and moved that committee of three De ap- pointed to draft resolutions expressive of regard for the loss we have sustained.
 Whereupon the Chairman appointed Hon. l.. W. Davis, Hon. A. $. Mcken- non, and D. E. Changer Esq, as such com nittee.
 On motion of Hon. W. w. Mansiieldl ] R. B. Wilson was added to the commit- tee, which reported the following which was unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, Since the last adjournment of the Pope Circuit Court, it has pleased the Great Ruler of all things to remove from us the Hon. Frank Fhach who was for the last three years County and Probate Judgs of Pope County, and was nlember of the bar of Pope Circuit Court, and who in all the rela- tions of life was truly eminent for his many amiable qualities as a man, and his answering integrity as Judge, and whose association with HIS as q Judge and brother-lawyer was always characterized by kindness and courtesy {; therefore, it is
 Resolved, That in the death of the Hon. Frank Thach our profession has sus ssained great loss, society one of its most worthy members and the Coun- ty and State most useful citizen.

THE COUNTY SEAT DUES

We call the attention of our read
 CTS to the communication from Coun- ty Judge Wilson on the subject of making repalrs on the court house at Dover. We think it would be q very great injustice to Judge Wilson for any censure to be attached to him for his refusal to convene the quorum of the County Court of the county to make an ap
 propriatien for repairing the court house at this time. And while on this subject itlis not improper, as we deem it, for Us to say word more on this question. There is, it is be- lieved by many, a large number of the people of our county, perhaps . majority, who favor change of the County Seat, and it is not improba- ble that the voters of the county may demand vote upon a proposi
 ton for a change at any time. Such being the case would it not be better for the whole county to let the mat ter be tested at once, than to wait until the county shall have incurred heavy expense in rebuilding the court house at Dover. If vote on the subject is desired we think it would be wise to get up the petition at once and have the election order ed at the same time we hold our State election. We have no doubt but that this question will come up sooner or later. and as the county will now be under the necessity of going to considerable expense before we will have any court house any where, we think the sooner the mat ter is acted upon and put at rest the better. It is matter worthy of the serious consideration of the tax pay CTS of the county anynow.
