THE BALE.

The pleasure loving people of Yuma have been waiting with great anxiety the completion of the new store room and warehouse that Isaac Lyons has been building lately. great many hints have been given Judge Mabbitt, (who, in the abcence of MT. Lyons has had control of the building and furnishingl that it would be real nice place to have a social dance. and the bland and child-like smile that would illuminate the old veterans coun- tenauce at the suggestion led great many to believe that there was somethin g up, and when Monday noon came and the noise of the hammer was heard no more, every body felt that the time was near at hand for good cid fashioned housewarm- ing. During the afternoon invitations were issued, and early evening g found forty couples of the youth and beauty of Yuma assembled, To say all were delighted with the arrangements made for their re- ception would be but faint praise, and when the hne band Of music struck up ore of Straus' masterpieces, the immense floor, perfectly waXed and as smooth as glass, was soon covered with as brilliant a company as eyer were brought together In Arizona. No one but Lyons would eyer undertake to do in week what was done here in few hours, and the un- bounded success of the undertaking is all the praise we can bestow.
 MT. Lyons arrived home in time to be present, and while all recognize that to his generosity is due the occasion, the master hand was the genial Judge, and if approving smiles from fair ladies can recompense him fer his trouble, then well was he paid.

blow from the indignant preacher.
Henry became the companion
Of the farm hands, through
whose medium he got acquainted with
an inferior family, where a matrimon-
lal trap was soon successfully sprung.
William was thunderstruck by the
news hat his imbecile son was not
only married, but was living at his
wife's home. Henry Astor, while
preaching in the kitchen, awoke the
merriment of a young girl, %whereupon
he picked up a wash basin and dealt
her a severe blow. This was followed
by other violence, and the result was
that the girls parents sued him for
assault and battery, laying the dam
ages at $4,000. The Astors were
seriously perplexed by this difficulty,
but concluded to defend the case. A
heavy verdict, however, was rendered
against the would-be preacher, whose
relatives hen placed him under sufi-
cent restraint to prevent any recur-
renee of the trouble. The family
which captured him Is said to be sat
%isfactorily pensioned, and Henry is
now the object Of his brothers care.

ent sale of the Astor house is merely
to settle the estate and place his share

Chicago Tribune Special
A prominent New York Republican
politician in Washington, Wednesday,
announces that a careful canvass of
the State shows that if Mr.. Conkling
attempts to carry the delegation to the
National convention he will be de-
feated in every assembly district Of
the State. He says that the friends of
Sherman and Blaine are thoroughly
organized, and are united for the pur-
pose of defeating Grant and a third
term. 1t would be improper to state
its character or any Of its details, but
it is a fact that it exists, and that a
good many very substantial men are
behind it. The gentleman who is
authority for this statement, is con-
nected with the organization, and says
that the movement was inaugurated
without consultation either with
Blaine or Sherman, but to unite all
opposition to a third term. This he
thinks, is overwhelming, and that the
States delegation to the National con.
ventiOn will be divided between these
two candidates. Yet, notwithstand-
ing the confidence of this nameless
gentleman, there are few here who be-
Iieve that Roscoe Conkling is to be
entirely powerless in this matter.

The MagniphOne-A New Inven.
ton.

Cape Vincent Eagle.l
For many years Mr.. George Nc
Pherson, Of this village, has been a
scientific student, and a great portion
Of his time, when not engaged in his
daily vocation, has been occupied
with scientific experiments. By these
experiments Mr.. Mcpherson has in
vented and applied for a patent on an
inyentiOn which he has very properly
called the "MagniphOne." The in
strument increases and magni6es
sound, but to what extent is not
known as yet. tits easily applied to
the telephone. 1t is generally known
that the cause of sound is the vibra-
lions of the diaphram and that these
vibrations are caused by variations in
the tension on the diaphram, in the
accostic, by the wire that attaches
them, in the magnetic by the varia-
tions in the strength of the magnet
But tits not so generally known that
these vibrations are a secondary cause.
The real cause is the working of the
fiber of the metal. So the more you
cralnp or buckle the diaphram the
more sound there is; therefore by
having a heavy tension and then vi
brating the diaphram, it would cause
more working of the metal and so
produce more sound. The magni-
phone is constructed on this plan. 1t
is made, first ola circular rim with
upper surface grooved, then the dia-
Dhram is drawn over this rim and
bent down and fastened there. Then
a second rim is placed directly over
this groove and fastened firmly with
screws, which presses the diaphram
into the groove and thus makes the
tension. The instrument is not round
but elliptical or egg shaped, in which
it is FAR better as a receiving telephone.
For a transmitter the round form is
equally as good. The wire is put
through the small end and the vibra-
tions run off the other end, thereby
causing more movement of the metal,
the same as a hammer to a piano is
placed at one end Of the wire. TIE
instrument can be put to a great many
uses for all kinds of telephones, Tor a
photograph, telegraph sounder, sound.
err for all kinds Observation-Disclosures,
and is particularly adapted to a violin
or piano.. 1t may seem improbable
but Mr.. Mcpherson, by actual test
has found that, when applied to a
piano, that instrument can be made to
talk.
Mr.. Mcpherson is very sanguine
that it isl success, and by what we
have seen by its description, we are
inclined to believe he is right. The
only wonder to us is that, it being
simple in its obstruction it has moi
been discovered before.
