Mir. Edison,s New ifeiephou

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 30,
 Edison occupied the evening se
 of the Science Association to-I
 with description of his new e tro-chcmical telephone, giving Y
 trations of it's power and moo operation. An immense audei
 was present, filling the Town llaii
 it's utmost capacity, and the exne
 ments were received with great
 terest and enthusiasm. The te phone was operated from an apa
 ment in the building at some dis tance from the hall. The ditIerene between the new instrument and ta ordinary telephone consists in its capacity to convey tue voice to room full of persons without any eas piece. The sounds of the voices were very distinct, and one oi tho most curious features of the experl ments was the conveyance of two voices distinctly at the same time, the one singing and the other re beating the alphabet. MT. Edison stated that he could not attempt tc explain the reasons for the remarka- bic results obtained, as lie dld not fully comprehend them hlmsell. The features of the instruments arc the use of carbon points, and, in ob taining the wave, he explained that the current was broken by the fric tion accustomed by the revolution Of piece of chalk against the metnllic bar attached to the diaphragm. Several thousand vibrations of this were produced by the turning of 2 crank worked by . person Tn the room to which the sounds arc trans, mitted, thus placing the transmits sion of sound in the hands of that person Tlic chalk nsed Is saturated with q solution of phosphate of pot ash, which rather than any other salt produces the required result,
 Mir. Edison could not explain why
 He only knew that he could not ob tain the results in any other way Mir. Edison asserted his belief that before long q person making speech in New York may be heard through the electro chemical telephone by hall full of people in Saratoga, or that concert may be given at any place by artists in another city. During the experiments the cornet was played and John Browns Body" was sung and transmitted with perfect distinctness and heard as plainly as if the instrument and lvoices were ill the room.

Woman.

Shrink not from woman of strong scuse; for if she becomes attached to you it is from seeing and viewing the different qualities in yourself; you may trust her for she knows the value of your confidence; you may consult her, for she is able to advise, and does so at once with the firm ness of reason and consideration Of affection; her love Is lasting, and 1t will not have been lightly bestoweds for weak minds arc not capable of the lo(tiest grades of passion.

l deep tEEi asiinG Republican Tn favor of the principles for winch the Dem ocracy are contending, and against those revolutionary tendencies tc which the tenders of his party arc committed, is of more significance tl.an if a thousand disappointed office hunters were to leave the Rad icals for spite, and join the Democ- racy for profit
 Our correspondent is fair repre- sentative of the best class of Repubi licans. He sees that the Democratic party is the only defender of the principles on which the States made the nation, and he looks to the Dem ocracy to successfully defend these principles against the dangerous az. aggressions of the party with which he has hitherto acted. He believes in the supremacy of the National authority, as we do, in the exercise of all it's legitimate powers. He be lieves, as we do. in the supremacy of of the States in all powers not sur rendered or forbidden by the Con stitution. And this leading Repub- l:can is but type of Q large propor- tion of the party with which he has long been identified. The same course of reasoning that has directed his steps will impel them to join with us--provided one obstacle is removed.
 The obstacle is the fear that the Democratic party will do something to unsettle the financial condition ol the country, and send us to sea again--a sea of doubt, of turmoil, oi disaster and ruin. Our opinion on this subject is well known. We have never given an uncertain sound. The position which we have now reached in our National finances has been obtalned at fearful cost, and by the infiction of cruel oppression. We know of few things in history more wicked than the legislation which robbed the millions for the few; which almost doubled the debts of the debtor, and corresponding,y augmented the value of the posses sions of the creditor. And the course pursued by the Secretary of the Treasury, in executing that leg islation, has been dictated by a henrtless desire to serve single in terest regardless of the wreck and ruin that covered the iand.
 But this is all overall beyond re- call. There is no way to right the wrong, no way to restore to its right ful owners what is lost. The only sensible course is to ACCEPT THE SIT LAYTON. It is not pleasant, but it is the only manly, statesmanlike course. We are at the bottom of the hill, IL is of no use to try to make the de scent easier, because it is made be yond recall. Why, then, waste our time on dead issues of finance? Why attempt the impossible2 "Let the dead past bury it's dead," and let the Democratic party devote its best en' ergies to the maintenance and de fence of those great principles fol which the majority in Congress con tended so manfully during the extra session. On these issues the bess clements of the Republican party will gradually unite with us for the preservation of the Union that our fathers made, and the rights of the States as defined in the Constitution.

Little Rock Democrat: Col Bob Ingersoll has at last severed his con nection with the Republican party. Some two weeks ago he declared at q meeting of Liberals that he felt SO outraged at the persecution of Ben nett that he told John sherman that he would never again vote tine Re publican ticket unless Bennett was released. He said it was hard for him to "give up his preferences for the Republican party as it had al ways been the champion of human rights" But the resolution adopted by the Liberals at Cincinnati yestcr- day make it lear that q new party is born. What is most remarkable is the glank in their platform strongly indorsing the doctrine of State rights. Whatever heresises these Liberals may teach they arc sound on this Fundamental question.
 All things must change. Friend must be torn asunder and swept along in the current of events. to see each other seldom, and, perchance, no more. For ever and ever in the eddies of time and acesdent we whirl away.

How Far Can we Hear With the Tele.
phone!

This is question frequently asked,
but We believe has not yet been def
nitely settled. The longest distance
that we have seen mentioned is given
i'm the item below, namely, two thous-
and miles. II so we should he glad if
he would let our seaders know.
An exchange states that Mr.. Robert
A. Packer, superintendent of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, Is at present hunting
with a party of gentlemen In Nebraska.
A few days ago he for two hours con-
versed pleasantly with his wife and
friends at Sayre, Pa, his brother at
Mauch Chunk, Pa, and friends along
the line. The medium was the railroad
and Western Union Telegraph wires
and Edison's telephone. At the Office
i'm Bethlehem, Pa. connection was made
with the Easton and Amboy wire, and
at Perth Amboy with Western Union
wire, and thence TO Chicago and North
Bend, Nebraska, where the party are.
The distance was about two thousand
miles, and every whisper was audible.
-Scientific american.
Our telephone is to be put in the Post
Office, and If its hearing capacity is rs
good as its tell-tale We don't know
what those folks mt Beaver Dam and
McHenry will do. If the telephone
should carry all the enormous lies told
around the stove in the grocery, while
the crowds wait for the mail to be open
ed. We are sure the people at the other
end of the line will be sadly democrat
lied. Then if Uncle Remus should
happen to raise his sonorous voice in
the cellar, the natives would abandon
the mines at McHenry, and start for
Mauch Chunk instanter.

FARMERS ATTENTION!
Only One Tenth instead Of Eighth Toll
AT THE
HARTFORD WATER MILL


On and after the 18th day of Novem-
Der, 1879, until further notice, we will
grind wheat for One-tenth toll instead of
One-eighth. We will grind nine bushels
and take the tenth, instead of
grinding seven bushels and TAX
ing the eighth for toll, thus you save
about two pounds Of wheat on every
hushel by carrying your grain to the
Water Mill. Do not be afraid of a
crowd. We can grind 10 bushels an
hour, equal to $50 bushels i'm day and
night, and we never have this much on
any single day to grind.
Our Mill is in fine repair, and we are
prepared to grind by water or steam.
So do not :. be afraid Of high or low
water, but come with the assurance of
getting your grinding done on time to
return home the same day. We have
secured the services of II first class mil
Ter for grinding corn, and have ample
room for all that may come to see us.
We will pay 81 90 per bushel for No.
| wheat, and less, according to grade.
Mr.. A. ID. White, the well-knawn and
experienced Millee bosses the grinding
of sqg wheat. Patronage solicited.
