THAT TELEPHONE.

We sat on the verandah of the
st. James hotel last Wednesday
night dgeamily meditating upon
things generally and nothing par
tlcularly, when a boisterous out
burst OF sounds, which reminded us
Of a pair Of deaf people talking to
each other, caused us to erect our
ears and give attention.
Now, be it known, that Mr.. J. S.
Handy one day this week conceived
the idea of connecting his store
with his residence by telephone.
The line was completed last We'd
nesday. That night his clerks, who
had several visitors in their room,
concluded that they would have a
little chat with the boss, who was
then at his residence. The begin
ming and the continuation of that
chat appealed to our ears with such
hass and firm force that we. became
at once deeply interested. We
could hear very distinctly what was
said at the HOME end of the line by |
the sender of the message, and
those who talked at the store (the !
chief talker was our genial friend,
fairly made our ears Jingle
with the sonorous shrieks Of their
labored conversation.
Home, folks wanted a song from
boys at the store, and we never
shall forget the tremendous voice
power displayed by Mr.. OVERLY
while he sang that historic and i'm
mortal song, yankee Doodle"
lie could have been heard, we
bought, five miles, but we were
probably excited. Other bits of
music were sent by the boys
o the boss through the telephone,
demonstrating to u mind that
Whoever has a giant pair of sound
ungs can easily be a ''telephonist."
When we passed into the arms Of
forpheous that telephone was vo-
iferously verifying the wonderful
inventive genius of our esteemed ]

DEAR SIR:-The Southern Standard
Press. which you put up for me, has
given perfect satisfaction. During the
months of December and January last |
packed $50 bales cottol-averaging in
weight 500 pounds. | used an ordinary
SIG cotton rope which, at the close Of
the season, was sufficiently strong to be
used for pillow lines. 1t possesses many
advantages over any other press Of which
| have any knowledge. Its cheapness
and durability should recommend it to
every one. / regard the Southern
Standard" cheaper at 500 than the
Brooks OF Reynolds or any press of like
make at $40. Yours truly,
0. B. STEELE.

Bastrop, La, May 90, 1880.
This is to certify that we had one of the
Southern Standard Presses built last
January. We had only about forty bales
of cotton packed on it, and must say
that we are better pleased with it than
press we ever used, and we have been
using presses for yer thirty years.
They are cheaper and handler than any
press we ever saw, and if put up by B..
V. Mcdonald, we are confident they
will please most any one.

B. V. Mcdonald, Esq.
Dear Sir:-I take pleasure in attest
ing to the excellent workmanship on the
Southern Standard press erected by you
last summer on this place. 1t not only
works easily but has realized my e1pec-
tations as to the weight of the bales
turned out, some weighing as high as
SIS pounds, and many over 500 pounds.
All this was done by hand. During last
season there were about 1870 bales pressed,
no accident or delay occurring during
the progress of the work l feel s;atifcd
that any person desiring to put up a
press of this character, cannot be other
wise than pleased with the manner in
which your work is performed.
Very Truly,
THAD. WATERMAN.

Terrible Kerosene Accident.

In Syracuse, N. Y, five persons were
saockingly burned by an explosion of ker-
eAene OIL John T. Cassidy, residing in the
Third ward, was cleaning his wife's skates
with kerosene. He sat beside hot stove
and his wife was watching the operation.
AS Cassidy was in the act of turning the
oil from the can to cloth he held in his
hand the vapor caught fire and an explosion
followed. Cassidy was unhurt, but the
burning oil covered his wife, his baby
lying in the cradle and his little sister aged
seven years. Mrs. Cassidy ran out to a
neighbor's named Miller. Miller met her,
as did Mrs. Little, both of whom were
terribly burned before they extinguished
the flames. Mrs. Cassidy's clothes were
all burned from her person and her flesh
fell off. She will probably die. The in
FAINT was badly burned about the arms.
The little sister also ran into the yard and
was terribly burned about the legs and
hips before the neighbors extinguished the
flames.

Men Hung and Lynched in 1870.

The hangman's record for the past year
shows that 1O1 men expiated their crimes
on the gallOws, an increase of five over
that of the preceding year. Not a woman
was hanged, the only one sentenced to
death having been commuted. Two men
suffered the death penalty by shooting, one
in Utah and the other in Texas, the
laws giving them the choice of
death, either on the scaffold or by
the bullet. Eight were hanged for
wife murder. Z for outrage, for burglary.
1 for fratricide, 1 for infanticide, 1 for
killing his step daughter and another for
numbering his sOn. There were were 8
double and 1 triple hapgings. Four per-
sons cheated the gallOws by committing
suicide before the day set for their execu-
ton. In the list of states in which
the executions took place North
Carolina and Texas lead off with
12 each; Pennsylvania, 10; Oregon,
Z; Virginia, 6 !; Georgia, g.; Arkansas, 8;
California, 5 g; Missouri, 5 Indiana, A Yer
mont, 3; New York, 3; Alabama, 3; New
Hampshire, 2 Tennessee, 9; Nebraska, 2;
Louisiana, 2 Mississippi, 2; South Caro-
lima, 2 and New Jersey, Ohio, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Colorado, Utah, West Vir-
ginia and Maryland, each 1.
1t will thus be seen that 64 men were
hanged in the Southern states, a majority
of them being negroes. Fifty-five whites
were hanged, 81 negroes, Indians and
Chinaman. Friday still maintains its
reputation as Hangman's Day, having 72
executions Thursday comes next with 13;
Wednesday. 5; Tuesday, 8; Saturday, 4;

COOL HEADS RULING.
The Coal Miners of the Schuyikill IL
Not to Strike.

The Coal Miners of the Schuyikill Region
Not to Strike.
Some time ago the Knights of Labor in
Schuylkiil county passed 4 resolution de-
manding that basis wages should be paid
for mining after January 1, 1880, and
threatening strike if the demand was not
complied with. Basis wages for December,
according to the report of the commit
tee appointed by the SchuylkiIl coal
exchange to fix the monthly rate
which report will he published tO-mOr-
rOw---are ten per cent. below the basis ;
but. as usual, the rule of the Philadelphia
and Reading company will govern the
matter and will raise the rate to eight per
cent below basis. For January the rate
will be four per cent. below the basis.
An afternoon paper reports that there is
much dissatisfaction among the miners,
especially in the upper part of the county,
and that strike is freely threatened. One
of the leaders of the order was asked
if the report was correct. "NO," was
the reply. 81 can answer that very
positively. A strike was talked of, but the
cooler heads of the order met here last Sat
urday and squelched the whole business.
There will be no strike. There is no need
of one. The men are making fair wages,
and are satisfied that they can gain moth
ing by such movement. Nobody wants
to strike except few hot-heads, who are
ALWAYS dissatisfied. 1t was for the
special purpose of settling the grumblers,
by taking decisive action against them,
that Saturdays meeting was called, and
this official action decides the business,
for the present at least. The Schuylkill
Incn will not strike.'
