The Growth of the Telephone.

The wonderful growth of the tele-
phone was shown at the annual
meeting of the Bell Telephone Com
pany at Boston, Thursday. The
company had at the beginning of the
year 1873 telephone exchanges in OPP
Grafton, with 60,87S instruments in
use. To-day there are 40S exchanges
open or about to open, with an ag-
gregate of 1922 instruments.
The increase of instruments also
includes $1,000 from the Gold
Stock Telegraph Company. Pre-
yious to February 10th, last year,
$500 instruments had been exported.
Last year the number exported
reached 1914. In the United States
there are only nine cities with a pop
ulation of over 10000 and only one
city of $1,000 without a telephone
exchange. The company has ex-
pended considerable sums i'll de-
veloping its system in other cities,
while in Boston alone $130,0O0 have
been expended. Although the prac-
tical management of the company
turns out to be more expensive than
at first supposed, the. general out
look shows that the business of run
ming these exchanges promises to be
a profitable one in the immediate
future. The expenditures last year
were little short of $2,OOO,O0O.

Deserving Malone.

Mr.. t. ii. Murphy, prominent Re-
adjuster of Rockingham county, Va,
has written a letter declining to act
as a Readiuster committeeman for
his precinct, to which he was re-
Gently appointed. Mr.. Murphy, in
his letter, states that he has been q
Readjuster since 1872, and voted for
the Malone election ticket last fall,
''believing II, however, to be a simon
pure Democratic ticket" and con-
eudes:
"But while / have been and am
still q Readjuster, L have always
been a Democrat, and when l find
the recognized leader of the Read
justment party, Gen. Malone, q man
whom l have followed almost blind
", deserving the Democratic party
and voting with the Radical party
questions in the Senate oft the United
States; when | find the leaders of
the July electoral ticket and its or
gans last fall openly indorsing Ma
homes course and coalescing with
the Radical party, and one of these
leaders and an elector at large on
the July electoral ticket accepting a
nomination of a Radical caucus
when / find the Radical organs every
where applauding Mahone's deser-
ton; when / find that readiustment
has been prostituted into scramble
for office, and that it means now an
| alliance with Radicalism and an eff
fort to radicalize the state, l am
forced to declare, as Democrat,
will have nothing to do with the Re-
adjuster Radical party, and l have
no idea any sincere Hancock man
who voted the July electoral ticket
IN the late presidential election will
follow Malone into the Radical
party. As to the State debt ques-
ton, | must express the hope that
the Democratic convention in Au-
gust will adopt a platform upon
which all Democrats who have the
settlement of the question truly at
heart can unite. and that all vii
come together in an effort similar tC
that of 1869 to save Virginia from
Radical supremacy and negro domi'

sertion and treachery of Malone and
his co-office seekers"

A GOOD AND CHEAP WHITEwAsH,-
Few people know how easily whitewash
is made and how valuable 1t is when
properly applied. 1t not only prevents
the decay of wood, but is greatly condu-
Give to the healthfulness of buildings,
whether wood or stone. Out buildings
and fences, when not painted, should be
supplied'once or twice a year with a good
coat of whitewash, which should be pre-
pared in the following way: take a
clean, water-tight barrel or other suitable
cask, and put into it about half bushel
of lime; slack it by pouring water over it
boiling hot, and put in sufficient guam
tity of water to cover it five inches deep,
and stir it briskly till thoroughly slack
ened; when the Stacking has been thor
oughly effected, dissolve it in water, and
andd two pounds of sulphate of zine and
common salt. These will cause the wash
to harden, and prevent the cracking,
which gives an unseemly appearance to
the work. If desirable, a beautiful
cream color may be given to the above
wash by adding three pounds of yellow
ochre; or a good pearl by lead, lamp, vine
or ivy black. For fawn color, add four
pounds of umber, Turkish or American
the latter is the cheapest-one pound of
common lampblack. .

Our Western PerambulatOr,
CAMP AT THOs, Halls,

March a. 1881.
Our little party left Corrizo after spend
ing pleasant day with the business men
who seem SO well suited to what promises
in the near future, to be one of the most
thriving towns on the western frontier.
We had parted with the main center of
our company, they having for their OBJ
ject the meandering ofthe Nueces from the
Preside crossing to point fixed on di-
rect line about fifteeE miles distant, and
as their task was more difficult than ours,
we attempted to have the pleasure and
they the reality of difficult task. But
we felt confident the labor would be well
done when managed by one of the best of
men, Jacob Keuchler, who was fully COM
petent for the task of meandering the
river, to fix beyond doubt the true course
of the Nueces, and correct, as far as pos
sible, what errors may be founu on the
maps of the General Land Office. This
task must be done or our mission would
not be complete, so we felt, and so we
acted. We in due time left Corrizo, and
soon after we came upon one of the most
| beautiful lakes, full of wild fowls
ducks of every variety and the large
| blue crane, snipe, plover and a host of
| the feathery race were to be seen at every
| turn. This rare treat to an educated
sportsman could not be lost. DR.. A. E..
| Carothers was in ecstacy over the many
| opportunities offered to make a display
OF the DSlIeT QldlIleSO VI d w diSOu DIecCu-
| loader over the old-fashioned muzZle-
| loading gun. Truly the Doctor seemed
ct home, and had almost an hour of capt.
tai sport.
After passing over one of the most
| beautiful and fertile valleys along the
Nueces, we entered one of the immense
pastures conceived and constructed by
| the stockmen of this part of the country,
| in order to control their large fiocks and
| herds. Our wanderings through this
large enclosure in search of orr cOmpan-
| ions consumed some time. After travel
| ing about an hour we to our delight, found
our party safely camped at a point in the
bend of the river. In front was one of
the rich valleys, covered with heavy
coat of grass, well suited for camping,
and to our left the river opened out into
what the people denominate lake IN the
| river. The water of these apparent
lakes looks blue, and the current seems
almost as motionless as a small lake. Our
| fishing tackle was arranged and u few fine
| fish weresssoon taken. With the two rail
roads in striking distance. and with a
| large influx of stock, and an agricultural
! disposed people, will soon make this one
/ of the most profitable fields for invest
/ ment of capital. DELTA.
