The Telephone.

AT Singapore the telephone has thirty -four
subscribers At Batavia il j. said that the Go
vernment has reserved 10 itself the laying and
working Of telephones. The question may arse.
IN practice whether IN the long run the system
Of telephones inside houses should not ba given
up for that of telephone apparatus In each dis
trict Of q town or city. II Is hard To realize how
people can manage with the conducting wires.
&c., when once, IN cities, each house has lt~
telephone, Moreover, when inside a house, the
telephone must be closely watched lest calls To
speak be made in vain. SO that people must be
prepared at any moment to attend To- Its call.
Hence il i evident TO that those who now
find telephones inside their houses convenience.
will soon wish to have them outside the same
and 10 be enabled to fi1 the time when they can
communicate at an Office round the corner with
speakers from afar. In the long run, tele-
phone service with small offices throughout a
city attended to by boys, from which notice can
be given TO people called for, will be found more
practicable than that Of telephones IN every
house. Indeed the telephone Will not be the
FIRST business which, originally conducted by
each family on its own account, has, afterwards
become centraIised in special establishments
Bread baking, beer-bTswing, and clothes-wash-
ing are all operations which formerly were
always but now seldom, performed at home 1t
Is very probable that this may be also the case
with telephones. The Straits Timss.

The Golden Fleece.

Several versions come down to us of the
tradition of the Golden Fleece. The one which Is
most generally accepted represents Jason rs the
sou of llson and nephew Of Pclias, King of lolcos
in The ssaly Pelias hnd dethroned fson and
sought the life of JASON but the child was saved.
His parents gave out that lie was dead, but con
yeyed him by night to the cave of the centaur
Chiron, TO whose care they committed him. Jason
at the age of twenty went to claim the crown which
Pclias had usurped. That ruler agreed to give up
the kingdom provided Jason brought him the
golden fleece from Cochs. One of the myths OF
the fleece Is that lno, second wife of Athamas,
King OF Orchonenus III BGOtia, wished TO destroy
Phrixus, son of Athamas. but he and lIello were
saved by their mother, Ncphele, who gave them n
which carried them through the air over sea and
land Hee fell into the sea, and twas named
Helespontns. PhrlSns went on 70 Colchis' where
Jupiter Phyxius, aud gave the golden fleece "
Htes who nailed 1t to an oak In the grove OF Mans
IL was this fleece that Jason and his companions
went In search of. The myths related that the
fleece was watched over by sleepless drngOn.
The leading heroes of Greece accompanied Jason
Phrixus, and the oarsmen kept time to the
harmony of orpheus' voice and Tyre, They
visited Lemnos, and remained there a time

Editor Herald:
Permit me, through your columns, to
return thanks to friends, which will he
explained by the following note:

panying set of chairs and rocker for
your wife as gift from your friends,
+. q. Willis, Fatty Willis,
w. May, Felix Black,
James Black, J. II. Lloyd,
A. q. Wright, A. Coy.
appreciate the gift all the more as It
came from friends who are not connect
ed with that branch of the church to
which | belong; and from the manner
in which presented chairs having
been left at my door after dark. The
good Lord bless the dear friends for
their kindness.
wish also to say, in this connection,
that have just closed q protracted
meeting at Mt. Ktna, in which ! was
ably assisted by the Rev. Mr.. West, OF
the G. p. Church, to whom thanks are
due.
The meeting resulted in six CONVEX
sions and four additions to the M. +.
Church, South, and the Church (gen-
eraD gready revived.
We were both kindly remembered by
the good people. irrespective of denom-
nation, and Bro. West joins me in ex-
pressing hearty thanks for the substan-
tial marks of esteem received.
Very truly yours,
w. X. DEMpsY.

AN EPISTLEOF PHILOMATH TO THE
PEOPLE.

S1HILOMATH, an apostle of wis
= dom, by the grace of freedom
and the courtesy of John and Cicero,
our brethren,
To the saints, the elect Of the council,
and the faithful which are at Hartford:
Grace he unto you. and peace.
] give thanks to God, praying always
for you, since heard of your good works
among the people and of the love which
We have for the saints, your brethren,
And for the hope that is before you in
life of prosperity and wisdom and the
acquisition for your children of the
means of knowledge,
Which is come unto you as 1t is in all
the world and bringeth forth fruit in
you as il doth in others since ye heard
of ii.
As ye also learned of Samuel, who is
our dear fellow servant, and who in
times past labored among ye contin-
ually;
Striving daily how he might advance
the condition Of the people.
For this cause also did not cease Ia
travail mentally for you and to desire
that We might be filled with knowledge
aud wisdom;
That We and your children Light
walk uprightly before the law and be
enabled to shun the ways of the wicked
Now brethren, sometime l wot tina
We were alienated from other of the
brethren of your city, and it was pain
full to me in the spirit;
Seeing how that strife had crept into
the council and that chickering's and
jealousies had arisen among we.
And that your brethren were called
of you, Gentiles and looked upon as
enemies:
And that We hardly regarded their
voice in the things which We did.
But shut them out from the council
and hid from them the proceedings
thereof, as they have shewn unto me
And treated them with scorn, rs
have been led to fear and not as the
brethren which they truly were.
Now, brethren, l entreat you to renew
again the milk Of human kindness o.
which fear We are scarce.
