A New Hearing Machine.

[From the Cincinnati Gazette, September o5thJ
Professor J. w. Graydon, Of this city. has
for some time been experimenting with a
new invention called the audiphonc, which
is intended to supplant the old car-trumpet
for use by the deaf. There has been an
audiphone invented in Chicago. but Pro-
fessor Graydon claims that this instrument
is a great Improvement upon that. The
audlphone, as constructed by Professor
Glaydon, consists OF small electro
microphone, to the centre OF the Gia-
phrugm OF which is attached Il cord. walch
may he Of any length, and to the ether
end OF which cord is attached a small piece
OF wood The manner OF working the in>tru-
meut is very simrle. and can he briefly de-.
scribed rs follows: The deaf person takes 4
firm hold of the piece Of wood between his
upper and lower teeth, and the party de-
string to converse with the deaf man talks
through the electro -mcrophone attach

The cord taut. The theory advanced l., ttat
the sound is conveyed through Ihe nerves
Of the teeth and the bones Of The fact to the
auditory nerve; which, owing to some de-
fection Of the ear, caused by di$ca,c. Is net

been caused By disease. LII case OF pdIa'y-
sis of the auditory nerve it is useless. Some
very interesting tests Of the audnhoue were
made at the deaf and dumb department
attached to the Third Irtermedial Sch"o!
yesterday morning.
Ameng others was one OF fabri@ht-look!ng
colored girl, who was entirely de- I. The

was made in a louder tone OF voice than an

what he said, never having been able to
hear such sounds before. In some other

any sound whatever. 1t is fair TO presume
that the instrument will, as have the tele'

HAvERLY's MINsTRELs.-An audience Of
such numbers as Richmond usually accords
only to great names like Edwin Booth, Clara
Louise Kellogg, and Adelaide Nelson, last
night huzZaed themselves iuto lioarseneSS
endeavorlng to properly show their appreci-
alton OF Hayerly's negro Ministries. There
were probably three or four hundred persons
turned from The boX-Otfice after the house
was filed, and the crowd that hung around
the SevcntIl-street windows and doors was
great enough to bill hall OF ordinary size.
The entertainment was a splendid one.
There was no need OF burnt cork. for thc
performers were all colored men, varying in
tint from bright to black. The programme
was iudiclous blending of plantation
melodies. popular ballads, colored humor,
and universal nonsense. The singing gene
rally was good. That OF Wallace King was
eXtraol dinary. 1t was 4 treat indeed. Such
Il voice has not been heard in this city for
years. 1t is unusual to hear combined in Il
male voice such strength, compass, and
sweetness and the case with which he sang
was very striking. He has been Justly con-
pared to Bri"nOli, and ii he only had n
white face he could command any price and
take any place in opera. But all the sing
erS are excellent, and the chOruscs remind
one more OF the rich music OF some we'll

STOLEN HARNESS RECoyERED.-On the
1st OF July last the Stable Of j. Fl. Jones
(colored), on Marshall street near Fifth, was
broken into and fine set OF single Xpress-
wagon harness stolen therefrom. Since
that time Sergeant Parater, of the police
force, has been diligently engaged trying to
work up the case. His efforts were crown
ed with success yesterday, and resulted in
his arresting i young white man who has
hitherto borne good character, but around
whom such Il network OF convicting proof
has been gathered as to leave little or no
doub. OF his being the guilty party. ..
Sergeant Paraler discovered the harness
yesterday On horse driven TO flruiture-
wagon by il colored man named Nicholas
Robinson. Upon being charged with hay.
ing stolen property be said he had bought it
from joseph Clark. Clark showed by re-
ccipt That be had bought it at auction on
the 10Th OF July at the Bazaar.
Upon an examination OF the books at the
Bazaar ii was found that the harness had
been sold for one Andrew Blackburn, a re-
specialize young white man, and that the
money for the sac had been duly paid over
TO him. He was sought out by Sergeant
Parater and found ut work at the store OF
MessrS. Cosby d liowle, on Marshall street
near Fourth, where he was employed. He
was arrested and taken TO the Bazaar, where
he was at once identified Jy the clerk As the
party for whom the harness was sold.
Blackburn did not say where he lIau got
ten the harness or deny having committed
the theft; nor did he seem aware OF the Sc
rious nature 0f the crime with which he is
charged. Said he would much rather pay
three times the price OF the harness than
lave any fuss made about il.

FIRE N A ToHACCO-FACroRY.-On Sun

stove on the main floor OF LaruS Il Bro
TIERS tohacco-iactory. Franklin street be-
tween Nineteenth and Twentieth, set fire to
the floor and Il pile of toblcco-boNes near
the stove. An alarm was sent in 1T l:20 Z.
N. from Station 7, No. . cngine-house, and
the frcncn repaired to the point designated.
When they arrived there the whole build
ing appeared to be on fire. There was not
Il crcyice from which the smoke was not
Issuing. 1t was even coming out from ul-
der the tin roof. Two streams were. put
into the factory, which, of course, in a
minute or two did considerable water dlu-
age. The building was ventilated, and
then the location OF the fire was ascertancd
and the flames put out. Damage by lire and
water about $500. The fixtures were in
:ured with Mr.. Howard Swineiord for
