Lecture ON NHnemonics

Prof. MacHarg delivered lecture on
"Memory and how to improve it," in
School No. 1, at o'clock, last evening,
before a large number of teachers and
others. He referred to the ancient habit
of memorizing by continued repetition
and by connecting immediate surround
ing objects as associations with the SUBJ
jects to be memorized, and claimed that
the system taught by him was infinitely
preferable to the old modes. The system
could also be applied to all kinds of busi-
ness, and when once learned thoroughly
it never fails person in the hour Of
need.
Mr. MacHarg then gave some Illus
trations of the success of his system, by
his son, James. The boy repeated the
difficult poem "The Falls of Ladore,"
forwards and backwards, and gave lines
at random as they were called for at ran
dom. He repeated an alliterative selec-
ton called the "Far-Fame Fairy Tale
of Fenella," sort of parody on Beauty
and the Beast" and gave any sentence
therefrom as it was called for by num-
Der. He also gave several other difficult
memorizing feats, to the great delight of
the audience.
Last evening the Professor gave his
second lesson to his class in ID. T. Haw-
kins' Office, No. 404 Market street. The
class received further instruction and
gained still more insight in Mr.. Mac
Harg's excellent system of memorizing

Fire Hydrants.
II or the Gazette.

MIR. EDITOR BY paragraph in your
locals Of yesterday, | am made to appear
as requesting trial test of the triple
outlet fire hydrant recently adopted by
the Water Department of this city Such
is not the fact. Mr.. Hanna, Chief of the
Fire Department, seemed not to be salts
fled with my assurance that the new
hydrants are not intended to supply but
one steam fire engine, and requested my
consent to a trial on Saturday afternoon
next at Front and French Sts., to which
to crafty him, 1 yielded. To settle the
question, and explain why the new
hydrant was adopted, permit me to say
that under the old system, it required
two fire hydrants of the old pattern to
supply one steamer, with but one side
stream on the fire. The new hydrant
reverses this exactly and makes one fire
hydrant supply one steamer with two
side streams on the fire, thus doubling
the capacity of the fire department of
the city.
The small outlets are intended to be
used by the firemen or watchman by
hydrant stream, while the steamer is
getting to the fire and while waiting for
steam. They were not intended to supply
more than one steamer and there is no
good reason Gf they were able to do it,
why more than one steamer should be
served at one hydrant as the hydrants
are placed so closely together that all the
steamers may be served without trouble
or Inconvenience. g. II. GALLAGHER,
Chief Engineer.

MIR. TILDEN'S POSITION.
He Has taken No Part In the
Florida meKfs-Reti.
cent as to His Duty.

Ex-Governor Tilden, In a conversa-
tion with prominent political friend
on the recent Florida developments,
said that he had no part whatever, di-
rectly or indirectly, in procuring the
confession of the Florida ballot thieves.
He SAID that be had neither advised in
favor or against the passage of the
Electoral Commission act; that he sub
mitted to it as the law and felt bound
to obey the judgment of the lawful
tribunal that decided against him, and
that he could not disturb the peace OF
the country by Individually, or through
others acting IN his direction, bring
ing exposures of well-known frauds to
the surface. lie spoke with greatgcau-
tion about what might be his duty in
case the frauds should be clearely pro-
ven before a competent tribunal, and
reach to the Presidential title itself by
duplicating its possessor, and avoided
any direct expression of conviction on
the subject. There is no question but
that many of Mr., Tilden's friends, who
have hitherto regarded the Presiden-
tial issue az settled, believe now that
Hayes will be so implicated IN guilty
knowledge of the Louisiana and Flor
ida frauds that there will be no party
willing to sustain him in the Presiden-
tial chair. - t ffs5e

Congress Yesterday.

In the United States Senate, yesterday,
an adverse report was presented from
the finance committee on Mr.. Becker's
concurrent resolution declaring it mex
pedient to either maintain or impose
taxes for providing sinking fund, and
directing the Secretary of the Treasury
not to purchase any bonds for the reduc-
ton of the principal of the national debt
till the further order of Congress. House
bill was reported from the military com
mittee authorizing the President to ap-
point James Shields a brigadier general
in the United States army on the retired
list. The conference report on the naval
appropriation bill was unanimously
agreed to. The remainder of the session
was spent on the bill to repeal the bank
rupt law, the opponents ofrepeal seeking
to refer the bill, with House amendments
to the judiciary committee, in which they
were defeated. The Senate then adjourn
ed, with the understanding that the bill
will be disposed of this morning. In the
House the legislative appropriation bill
was further considered, and during the
debate Speaker Randall took the floor,
and condemned the tendency of republi-
can members to herd together in opposi-
tionto all measures, whic h was vigorous
ly dnied by Mr.. Garfield and others
But little progress was made upon the
bill.

The Diamond Lady.
A PRINCESS FROM ALADDIN's pALA

PRINCESS FROM ALADDIN's PALACR
The most interesting feature Of the
Seventh regiments reception in the
academy of music says the New York
Sun, was the appearance of the Diamond
Lady. Her bodice famed with costly
jewels. She wore satin dress, with q
point lace overskirt. The train was fully
with diamonds. At least pint of those
precious jewels were sprinkled over the
glossy fabric. The Diamond Lady's
waist was spanned by zone of blazing
brilliants that sparkled like the belt of
Orion. II was three inches wide. A
roseat wreath showered with precious
gems was looped obliquely around her
skirt, and a diamond cruciix resembling
the glowing stars of the Southern Cross
was suspended from a necklace of soh-
tares as large as filberts.
The dress of the Diamond Lady was
cut pompadour, Its folds seemed re-
splendent with seeds of light. Pale fires
flashed from her .jeweled bracelets and
the richest precious stones twinkled on
her fingers. Cinctures of magnificent
diamonds clasped her white arms above
the elbow. She wore aglittering coronet.
Its centre stone blazed like DeSaucy.-
Prismatic rays of light shot from nests of
jewels hidden in her hair, and pendants
OF delicious water swu..g from her
ears. The Princess Badralbadour, fresh
from her boudoir, would not have attract
ed more attention. But no Aladdin nor
oriental magician danced attendance
upon the Diamond Lady, They would
not however, have been out of place, for
she was so loaded with precious stones
that she seemed to move about with
difficulty. A gallant captain of the
Seventh estimated the weight of her dia-
monds, laces and satin at fifty pounds,
and her jewels alone are said to have
beed valued all the way from $l5O,O0O to
100000. From her box in the balcony
the Diamond Lady gazed at'the whirl-
pool of humanity below like constella-
ton Of stars of the first magnitude. Her
jewels twinkled in harmony with the
strains of Strauss music and flashed
over the movements of the dancers
When she swept from the academy the
gaslights seemed to shine with a subdued
brilliancy, and the members of the
famous Seventh, with their attendant
police officers, drew long breath of re-
lief.

A Second Street Sensation.
AN OLD LADY JUMPS FROM A THIRD
STORY WINDOW.

STORY WINDOW.
Mrs. Rebecca Robinson, who resides
with her sister, Mrs. John Tweed, at
NO. OF West Second street, jumped out
OF the third story pack window of che
mouse, between five and six O'Clock this
morning, sustaining severe injuries.
FOR the past few week Mrs. Robinson,
who Is over 10 years of age, has been
suffering from occasional attacks of
mental affection, during which she would
imagln that the house was liable to be
sold at any time, and she turned uncere-
m oniously out Of doors. On this account
she was very desilious of changing her
residence, and would frequently ask the
nelghbors to give her lodgings for awhile.
This morning she awoke early and
while laboring under one of these attacks
became impressed with the idea that sine
should Immediately and quickly leave
the house. Accordingly she dressed
herself, and taking her feather bed, drop
1t from the window to the pavement in
the yard below. She tden climbed out
OF the window, held ON to the sill by her
hands for an instant, and then dropped
down upon the bed, distant OF about
unity iOCt.
For several minutes she laid upon the
bed in an unconscious condition, but
when she recovered her groans aroused
the neighhors, and The other inmates of
the house, who quickly came to her as
sistance. She was carried into the house
and laid upon the lounge, after which
DIR. X. Z. johnson was hurriedly sum-
mohed. Upon arriving he carefully ex-
amined the old lady's injuries, and found
them to consist of a severe cut under the
chin. a compound fracture of the left
ankle, and various bruises on her limbs
and body. He rendered the necessary
surgical assistance, but it is impossible
to predict at present what will be the re-
suit of the injuries, on account OF the
lady's age and condition. After being
removed to the house Mrs. Robinson
became quite rational, and was able to
sell how she came to make her unfortu-
| nate leap.
