The AudiDhOne.

Prof. Calladon's improvements upon
the audiphone, of which the cable bears
record this week, seem to have been
anticipated by Philadelphia investi-
gators. At the last meeting of the
County Medical Society five or six
cheap and ingenious substitutes for the
costly india-rubber continuance were
proposed and tested. An ordinary
palna-leaf fan, or piece of pasteboard,
bent into the form of a shield, was
found to answer in an emergency; and
piece of cardboard coated with shell
lac and perforated by steel rod-the
whole costing about 5 cents-gave bet
ter results than the original audiphone.
It must not be supposed that only those
who have not lost their teeth can re-
ceive any benefit from this wonderful
invention, or it's more wonderful sub
stitutes, for it will act equally well,
whether held between the gums or arti
fetal teeth, if care be only taken by
previously applying vibrating tuning
fork to them to impress upon the per-
sons mind that he must expect to hear
the sound, not through his ears, but
through his teeth and gums.-Neao

Infanticide and Tight Shoes.

There are districts of China where
infanticide prevails to an incredible
extent-a murder of female children
mainly. The higher estimate of women
is the product Of Christian teaching
and, though women in China are COM
paratively free from seclusion, and have
been regents of the empire, and emil
nent for literary accomplishments, and
although a son pays profound regard to
his mother, even the Emperor kneeling
before her, yet the woman is despised,
and female life is cheap. when little
girls die, ale same chicken" the China
man says; "when the little boy die, too
bad;" and, Notwithstanding that the
travelling vaccinator charges shilling
to vaccinate boy and only sixpence
for a girl, parents will rather let their
girls run the risk than pay the lower
fee. Women will confess to the num-
Der they have destroyed. An ayah
where we staid had killed two. A man
will sometimes carry the child in
basket along the roads with perfect
unconcern, though his destination
is the nearest pond, and the babies
pond is sometimes village institution,
and sit is no uncommon thing to see
the bodies floating upon it's green
Shiny surface" Parents have been asked
to take back child that was exposed
to die, and have absolutely declined.
There are districts where only seven
tenths of the female children are kept
alive. and others where, notwithstand-
ing the immense emigration of men,
wives for the men that are left. Of
course sin like this ceases in a Chris
tian congregation, but the reformation
is not stayed there, for in many neigh
borhoods there is a growing repugnance
to the practice, a weighing of it in quite
other scales, and what the protest of
many of the best men in China failed to
do is being already silently done by the
influences that spread from the mission.
There is another practice far more uni
versal, but which some suppose to be
connected with infanticide, the barbar-
Gus fashion Of binding the feet, so as to
render them not only useless, but dis !
eased for girls thus treated are, of course,
a useless burden to their parents if not |
married. The Chinese themselves have
tried to deal with this habit. It is
huge tyranny of fashion, and cannot
even plead royalty in it's favor, the
present dynasty not binding the feet of
their women; while one of the Emper-
ors even issued an Intellectual edict
against it, and would have issued an
other weighted with heavy penalties, but
that his throne would have been over
turned. The native churches are now
taking the matter in hand, and are here
md there forming Notwithstanding
Societies." and sometimes the matter is
discussed in the Church Synod. "Mr.

self to circumstances is most strikingiy
illustrated by an incident related by
Miss Strickland. The body Of Catha-
rine Parr, buried at Sudley, was disin-
TERED, through curiosity, on several oc-
casions. The last time the coffin was
opened, it was discovered that a
wreath of ivy had entwined itself
around the temples of tie royal corpse.
A berry had fallen there at the time of
the previous eXhumation, taken root,
and then silently, from day to day,
woven itself into this green sepulchral

An Experimenter.

Two of those ornaments made of
plaster of paris, favored with sugar,
were bestowed upon an urchin, with
the usual warning, Don't eat them,
whatever you do; they will poison
you" For some time they were re-
garded by him and his younger brother
with mingled awe and admiration; but
at no distant day their mother missed
one.
"Tom," said she to the owner, who
was just setting forth for school, what
have zee done with that fgure?"
"Giv'd it to Dick" was the reply,

The highest mine in the United
States, and probably in the world, is
the Present Help, situated on Mount
Lincoln, in the main range of the Rocky
mountains, Park county, Col. Accord
ing to Prof. Hayden's Government sur

and the mines clearinghouse, built
alongside the main shaft, is only 40
feet below the extreme summit. This

SILVER DIMES.

Poets may sing of pleasures rare,
And pen their lays in blissful rhymes,
But give to me that good old fare,
pocketful of silver dimes.

And hear them sing of sunny chimes.
But give to me that music sweet
OF tinkling, ringing silver dimes.

There is sweet magic in It's lines
But give me magic t at belongs
To bright, glistening silver dimes.
I'm fond of flowers, rich and rare
For all things pure my spirit pines
But yet my heart, do declare.
Is set on pure old silver dimes.
Numerous friends Will crowd your way
That would not read your simple rhymes;
But let them go or let them stay
Hold fast unto your silver dimes.
While others climb the sleeps OF fame,
And from it's lofty summit shines,
Just plod along all the same.
And gather in the silver dimes. m .f III
love their Ginning, tinkling sound, \
Friends! tried and true, in these hard times;
The heart is light when the purse abounds
With good old friendly silver dimes.

4 few days since Messsrs. Murphy anC Hamilton visited some celebrated copper de posits in the Santa Maria country and ex amined mammoth ledge with a view to To- eating it. They brought in samples from tue ledge and had assays made, which sur prissd them and caused their immediate de- parture to put up proper monuments and legally secure the ground. Tho ledge is about feet wide, and carries gold in quan- titles that leads them to believe they have property equal to that of any other in Ari- zona. It IS their intention e make proper developments immediately, with view to working the ores. We are pleased to know that these gentlemen have been 80 fortunate in coming into possession of what's believed to be a rich bonanza, 8, they are energetic and do net hesitate in putting their money and time into operation in mining specu- lstion.

When we were resident of New Mexico it came within our scope and a part of our duty as sub-Agent, under Doctor StaKc, to learn much about these Mesca- le,os.
