The Pulse Made 10 Speak

From the London Lancet.
At the last meeting of the royal
society, DR.. Richardson demonstrated
the action of a new invention of his
own, which he calls the sphygmophone,
and by which he transmutes the move
ments of the arterial pulse into loud
telephone sounds. In this apparatus
the needle of a Ponds spygmograph is
made to traverse q metal or carbon
plate which is connected with the zinc
pole of a Ieclanche cell. To the metal
stem of the s~phygmograph is then at
tached one terminal of the telephone,
the terminal of the telephone being
connected with the opposite pole of the
battery. When the whole is ready the
sphygmograph is brought into use as If
tracing were about to be taken, and
when the pulsation of the needle from
the pulse strokes is secured, the needle,
which previously was held back, is
thrown over, so as to make its point
lust touch the metal or carbon plate,
and to traverse the plate to and fro
with each pulsation. In so moving,
then sounds, one long and two short,
are given from the telephone, which
sounds correspond with the first, Sec
ond, and third events of spygmographic
reading. In fact, the pulse talks tele-
phonically, and so loudly that when two
cells are used the sounds can be heard
by m audience of several hundred
people. By extending the telephone
wires the sounds can also be conveyed
long distances, so that a physician in his
consulting-room might listen to the
| heart or pulse of a patient lying in bed
| speaking modestly as to distancel u
| mile or two away. DR.. Richardson de.
| scribed to the fellows of the royal
| society that the sounds yielded by the
natural pulse resemble the two words
sbother it." Not 4 bad commence
ment for a talking pulse.

Shocking Accident.

One Of the most singular and shocking
railroad accidents ever recorded in New
England occurred at the South street
crossing bridge of the Eastern Railroad,
Boston, few days ago. A bright lad,
Richard Farren, 9years old, son of Richard
Farren, the wel-known scenic artist, re-
siding at 90 Arlington street, Chelsea, went
to the Second street crossing bridge with
his brother to play. The boys amused
themselves beneath the track of the rail-
road, holding on by the sleepers. While
in this position he would raise his head
above the track to witness an approaching
train and seek a place of safety before the
train reached the bridge. AT 5.45 p. M,
the inward train was approaching the
bridge, when the lad changed his position
to the outward track sleepers, probably sup
posing himself to be safe. He again had
his head above the sleepers, when an out
ward train passed the bridge and the sharp
prong of the cow-catcher struck the boys
head, severing it from the body.

A wayward elrl's Foolish Step.


A dispatch from Pittsburg says The
little town of Beaver, one of the suburbs
of Pittsburg, is terribly excited, because
one Of Its prettiest, wealthiest best-known
and rcally accomplished young ladies has
left her fathers house and deliberately
married negro who is as ugly and ignor-
ant as he is black. For some time past
Miss Annie Mason has given her parents a
great deal Of trouble by her reckless, way
ward conduct, but being an only daughter
she was spoiled by indulgence. Her father
is United States storekeeper in Indiana
county, but lives in Beaver and is wealthy.
Her uncle is ex-Chief Justice Daniel
Agnew, of the Supreme Court, and the
family is one of the best in this part of the
State. Mrs. George Jones, nee Miss Annie
Mason, is twenty years old,a brunette with
large eyes and exceedingly pretty face. She
had quarrel with her parents on We'd
nesday night, aud early yesterday Thurs
day. morning she left her home and met
George Jones, coarse iliterate negro
coal digger, by an appointment which she
had made by some unknown means during
the night. AT five o'clock in the morning
Jones and another negro, accompanied by
Miss Mason, went to Rochester, about a
mile from Beaver, and hurried to the
house of colored Clergyman, who married
Jones to Miss Mason in the presence of q
couple of white men as witnesses. The
couple then took the next train back to
Beaver, where Jones hired q room in
small house which has only three rooms
in it, two of which are already occupied by
negro families. The reckless girl sent
home for the trunk, piano and some of the
ornaments from her room, and this was the
first intimation her mother had of the
marriage. Her mother tried to persuade
her daughter to return, but she refused.
Her father is not at home and knows
nothing as yet of the affair. 1t is not
known how Miss Mason became acquainted
with Jones or where she ever met him,
Threats of tarring and feathering are
openly made by the young men of Beaver,
but up to the present time nothing has
been done and MIR. and Mrs. Jones are
living in their tiny room, while the way
ward girls mother is lying at home crazy
with brain fever brought on by her daugh-
ter's conduct

Useless Scrubblna.

An extraordinary army joke has found
its way into the columns of "The Court
Journal" The dirtiness of the Afghan is
proverbial, and it is said that upon one oc-
casion General Roberts captured Mongol,
who was so preternaturally dirty that it was
thought necessary, for the safety of the
whole camp, that he should be washed
Two genuine Tommy AtlSinses were
told off for this purpose. They stripped
him, and scrubbed him with formidable
brushes and large quantity of black soap
for two hours, at the end of which they
threw down their brushes in disgust and
went to their Colonel.
"What is it, men9"
Swell, sir, we've washed that Afghan
for two hours, but it wasn't no good. After
scrubhing him, sin, till our arms were like
TO break, blest if we didn't come upon
