The Telephone School.

The telephone will hereafter lie
part of our stock in trade. One has
now been put up, aud in anticipa.
ton of a possible job in the near fu-
ture, all the boys in, town are prac-
ticing in order to be qualified to
serve as'operators. One 'cnterprising
boy who saw the machine work once
in Virginia, has set up a school Of
instruction, and the net results up to
the present time will enable him to
attend every circus this season, and
buy peanuts and lemonade ad libi-
tnm. His ARA ngements are simple
but effective. The parental coffee
mill is MOI tised into the wall of an
unoccupied house in the suburbs;
the crank having been taken off, the
hopper does duty as n transmitter.
The same crank fastened n little to
one side serves "a bell ringer. A
couple of yards of wire with six in.
ches of gas pipe tied on the end com
plete the apparatus in sight.
The learner, who pays a short hit
for three lessons, is instructed to
place himself In front of the instru-
ment and turn the crank. The Pro-
fcssor of Telephones or his assistant
as the case may be, who is stationed
on the opposite side of the wall,
rings small dinner bell in answer.
The pupil is then directed to Jun the
gas pipe in his ear and gently Shout
/" hello.'o3 fa oiEH sos o 4
The dialogue which follows is va
ried slightly on occasion, but il sub
stantislly in this form: -sis.,fE

This is continued until the pupil
becomes ready at misunderstanding
the set phrases, and is able to branch
out little on his own hook. The
professo- admits that his ritual is
open to the objection of being un.
grammatical, but SAYS that useful
ness not Elegance is his aim, and
that he trans his scholars in tn
words and phrases most frequently

Tie Reason for PostpOning the
School Election.

EDITOR TIMES: We have decided
10 hold our special election for school
purposes on Saturday, the 9th of
June, 1880, instead Of on the Goth To-
slant rs heretofore announced. We
have made this change upon the
recommendation of the State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, and
in order that the'wiH of tile people
may not he defeated by legal ,echni-
calities. In special school elections
heretofore held in this county, special
registration of electors has never
been deemed necessary, nor has there
ever been any special registration for
that purpose. Now, however, u qucs.
ton has been raised upon the point,
aud desiring to save the district from
the expense of litigation that other
wise might ensue because of the
antipathies of certain parties), we
have decided to ask the Registry
Agents Of the district to open their
books for the registration of electors.
Hence, tho change in time as above
indicated.

Who Put Down the Rebellion.

Hon. w. d. Bradley, in his speech
here at the court house not long since
told Us that the Republican party put
down the rebellion of the South and
saved the Union. The records do not
bear Mr.. Bradley out.
The Democratic State of Missouri
alone, in which Mr.. Lincoln received
but Il, 1,0as votes in 1860, furnished 1885,
Ill men To the Cnian army-a greater
number than was furnished 10y all the
Republican States of Vermont, Rhode
Island, Minnesota, Nebraska and Kan
sis put together. Neither Michigan,
Wisconsin nor Iowa furnished as many
troops To the Union army a. Missouri.
Kentucky furnished as many Federal
soldiers in proportion to population as
the average Republican State of the
North.
Ii the Democrats had all been rebels,
as Mr.. Bradley endeavored Ia show the
rebellion would have succeeded and the
Union would have perished. Patriotic
men Of the Republican, Democratic
and all other parties rallied under the
Union flag, and thus was the Union
preserved, and the Democratic soldier
did fully as much of the work and is
entitled to his equal share of credit
along with the Republican, or soldiers
of other parties.
Mr.. Lincoln only received l,SO0,OOC
votes, and il is not doubted but he got
the whole Republican vote, and yet
there were over 2,sO0,Oo0 soldiers Ell
listed in the Union army. If every Re
publican voter had enlisted-a thing
not true 10y long shot it seems
that about million of Democrats musl
have helped to kill out secession.
II all the points taken by MIR. Brad
ley in his speech here are as far from
true as this one, he'd better quit.

require SO much as the physical capac-
ity of mule to set il in n revolving
motion. This sport was enjoyed SUI
prcmely, and in fact it was looked upon
as WONDER mean that il did not fall
over and hurt some one while in such
rapid motion. Mr.. &. l.. Carson was

Condemned by their Own Household.

We have received the following COM
munication from Republican who has
been constant reader of the HERALD
from the beginning:
T&ifor Herald:
| see in your paper, of which | have
been a constant reader since you first
began to publish il, some very severe
charges against the political records of
Carried and Arthur, our candidates for
President and Vice President. Now,
YOU do not mean to claim that these
charges are true, do YOU? | have con-
cluded that YOU were publishing them
as campaign material, furnished you
by political managers, for a political
effect, and that you have never investi-
gated them to see if true or false. Now,
il would he but fair for you to carefully
investigate each charge specifically,
and il the gentlemen are innocent OF
them you should publish it, regardless
of the consequences, that the people
may know the truth. III they are true,
then the Republican managers have got
our party into a sad fix, and its defeat
ought TO, if it does not, take place as the
result of the nomination of such a ticket.
Please investigate and answer truly
though the Heavens may fall. Now,
John p, rise above party influence and
party dictates, one time at least, and
let us hear from you.
HONEST REPUBLICAN,.
Honest Republican shall be gratified
We will answer, and will introduce none
but Republican witnesses, and out o
the mouths of their own politicians vii
show every charge published in th'
HERALD to be true.
