A Talking.Machine.

During more than century invent
ors have turned their ingenuity to con.
structing machines capable of initiating
the human voice, though what practical
purpose they might serve if ever 80 per-
feet it is difficult to discover. One Of
the best of these efforts, and perhaps
the most successful, is machine made
by NJ. Faber. 1t consists essentially of
three parts-the nd-producing sys-
tenn, the souud-making apparatus, and
the articulating arrangement. As for
the first, nothing particular need be
said; it is simply series of bellows.
The second, the sound-producer, the
larynx, is an ivory tube so constructed
that within certain limits the length
may be varied so as to cause difference
in tone produced. Probably he would
have been more successful had he
adopted some more elastic material.
The articulating apparatus includes q
part for sounding the vowels and an
other for pronouncing the consonants.
The former are due to the passage of
air through openings of different shapes,
made in diaphragms placed successive
~ in the current of air by the action of
levers moved by the fingers; in addi-
ton special cavity, destined to pro.
duce nasal sounds, can be put in COM
munication with the former at pleasure
by means CT particular lever. The
consonants are produced by pieces, the
action of which is analogous to that OF
the lips, the teeth and the tongue, and
the rolling of the R is caused by a
wheel. All these imitation organs are
put in motion by fourteen keys very in
geniously disposed in way to produce
the necessary intensity of action and
variation in sequence of the parts des-
tined to pronounce a syllable. The
number of fourteen keys is sufficient,
for by certain variations in the touch
the intended sound can be regulated as
strong or weak at pleasure. AS might
be expected, the language of the ma
chine is very monotonous, and is by no
means perfect, as some sounds produce
a much better effect than others; how
ever, in general, the words pronounced
are easily understood. They cannot
be compared to the changes in the hu-
man voice, and whatever improvements
the machine may receive, the question
still remains, What use is it?-Galig-

GOODBYE, SWEET DAY.

Good bye, sweet Gay, goodbye!
Ihave so loved thee, but cannot hold thee
Departing like dream the shadows fold
thee;
Slowly thy perfect beauty fades away;
Goodbye, sweet day!
Goodbye, sweet day, goodbye!
Dear were thy golden hours of Tranquil
spendor,
Sadly thou yieldest to the evening tender,
Who vert 50 fair from thy first morning ray
Goodbye, sweet day!
Goodbye, sweet day, goodbye!
Thy glow and charm, thy smiles and tones
and chances
Vanish at last, and solemn night advances
All, coudst thou yet little longer stay!
Goodbye, sweet day!
Good-by sweet day, goodbye!
All thy rich gifts my grateful heart remem-
bers,
The while watch thy sunsets dying EN-
berS
Die in the west beneath the twilight gray.
Goodbye, sweet dayi

A Russian BaDjism.

The baptism OF a child belonging
ito the royal family of Prussia is
thus described: "The Gar bore him
to the font, where his little Highness
was taken out of all his clothes, and
plunged into the water, head first, three
times. The priest closed his nose and
eyes with his fingers, but the "august
newborn" as he is styled in large capt.
tale in the programme of the day,
screamed like any ordinary baby, and
evidently did not like it. He was then
given to his godmother, wrapped up in
blankets, and he dozed quietly while
another prayer was said. He was only
left in peace for few moments. The
priest anointed his eyes, ears, mouth,
hands and feet with holy oil, that none
of those members should do any harm
in life. When the little fellow had re-
covered from this interruption and just
begun to quiet down, he was again dis
turbed and all his hair cut off,"

THE FIRST SNOW FALL.
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

JAhE RUSsELb LOWE
The snow has begun in the cleaning
And buisly all the night
Has been heaping fields and highway
With silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock,
Wore ermine too dear for AZ earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm Tree
Was fringed inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new rooted with carrara
Came Chandeliers mutilcd crow,
The stiff rails were softened to swansdowd-
And still tluttered down the snow,
l stood and watched by the window
The noiscless work Of the sky,
And the sudden fiurries of snow birds,
Like brown leaves whiriing by.
thought of a mound in sweet Auburn,
Where little head-stOse stood
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.

letter to forward the hood to you2 Just
like woman, she did not give me any
Christian name but Love- and / knew
that was her pet name for you, and not
a proper one for stranger to use to-

"But everybody calls me Love- re-

that name ever since l was baby. My
real name is Louise, but it has never
been given to me only at my christen-

There was something so fascinating in

Reginald Hathaway, almost invOluntari-

eff everybody calls you Love may
not call you so, too2"
"Of course you may" she replied, look
Ing into his face with the sweetest OF

Just then Cupid took advantage of the
position, and shot an arrow of love so
deep into the lawyers heart that he said

anything in common with everybody

Cuplds presence in the sleigh as much

getting to be serious one. ''What
would papa say to it all?'' she did not
answer then, but she allowed her lover to
take warm, loving kiss from the pretty
face encased in the blue and white hood,
which was so very becoming.
Here, wife," sand Mr.. Scranton, few
days after, sit has GOMEZ knew it must
come some time, but didn't expect it

from Reginald Hathaway. asking for the

had her heart already. "That's the way
said the father, as he wiped a tear from
his eye. THUS it is our daughters leave

"Those we love, and those who love us!
Just when they have learned to help us,
When we are old and lean upon them,
Comes a youth with Haunting feathers,
With his flush of reeds, a stranger
Wanders piping through the village,

And she follows where he leads her,
Leaving all things for the stranger"
"Here is letter from Love, too, he
said.

How He Made Economy Tremble.

Many years ago we knew mana
good-natured, harum-scarum old sailor
who, though an inveterate smoker
and even more improvident than the
average of his class, was great hand
to save in the expenditure of matches.
He would fill his pipe and then wait
for an hour until he saw some other
smoker preparing to light up, when he
would stand by to get light himself,
and if the two pipes were sue
cessfully lighted with the one match
he would exultingly remark, Il say,
matey, amt this maxim economy trem-
blew Then when Saturday night
came he would go on spree, and spend
as much money in whisky as would
have kept him in matches for year

Paris, North Texan,

There is Democratic element in the
Greenback party that is honest and deserves
the respect of all. But there is u cunning
Republican element there, also, that seeks
the success of the Republican party We see
that the latter element is at work in Missouri.
In one of the districts of that state the Green
hackers have nominated one Ford for con-
gress. The Republicans of DcKalb county,
same district, held convention the other day,
and when the question was raised whether
there should be Republican candidate for
congress brought out, such move was OBJ
jected to, on the ground that Ford was good
enough Republican, and that he had said no
would vote for Garfield. In this
way it is sought to work Republicans
enough into congress to give that party the
majority again, and the Greenbsckers are
the men selected to do this work. 1t ia no
ticeable that where the Republicans are
weak, they support the Greenbackers, and
thus attempt to defeat the Democrats, We
should be glad to SEQ the Democratic ele-
ment Of the Greenbaek party act wisely in
this matter, and cut loose fro n an organizs-
ton that can not win, and that only weakens
the strength Of those who are lighting for
constitutional government, home rule aud
economy. The Democratic party has made
record since it came into power in congress
that ought to satisfy every reasonable man,
and why an element that has heretofore acted
with us, should "dy Off at this time and aid

Montague Northwest


Mr.. Garfield himself devised, suggested
and prepared tho perjured testimony upon
which the returning board of Louisiana
threw out the real returns of the election in
the parish of West Felicians, and thereby
figured up majority Tor Hayes in the state,
whereas the majority Of the people had
voted for Tilden. This Garfield did by pre-
pairing, in an inner room Of the custom
house at New Orleans, the interrogatories
and answers of the ignorant negro witnesses,
upon whose perjured testimony the returns
were reversed And this same Garfield is
now the Republican candidate for president.
The Republican party in asking the people
to elevate to the presidency the arch con-
spirator of 1876, must think that the pop
ulsr memory is very poor. They will do
we'll to remember that "lhe counting out is
just as much fraud now as at the time it
was perpetrated." Every vote for Garfield
is sanction of that fraud. Every vote
against him is a vote OF condemnation. The
Republicans have adopted his infamous
crime, and with suiacity that rises almost to
subliaity, ask the people to reward their
own robbers
