The Death of Robertson.
lFrom London Society

One night poor Keats gave a slight
cough and said, "That is blood from
my mouth. Bring me a candle; let me
see this blood" Then, looking at it he
said, with the utmost calmness. 81 know
the color of that blood; it is arteriaI
blood. l cannot be deceived in that
color; that drop is my death warrant. /
must die" An equally significant cir
cumstance befeil Robertson. A mem
Der of his congregation, chemist, asked
him to look at his galvanjc apparatus.
He took the ends of the wire, completed
the circuit, experienced the tingling. He
then held the wire to the back of the
head and neck without a single sensation
being ELECTED. He then touched the
forehead for a second, INSTANTLY a
crashing pain shot through as if my
skull was stove III and and bolt of fire
were burning through and through. -
In the same letterhe writes: "My work
is done" Some hope might have been
entertained if he could have had curate
to help him with his work. But the then
Vicar of Brighten, rather an unsympa-
thetic man, refused to let him have the
curate on whom his heart was set. So
he sank, unreheved into death. The
dark secrets of the hospital of torture
hardly reveal greater suffering than that
Robertson endured in those last hours.
When they sought to change his posi-
ton he said: 81 can not bear it; let me
rest. must die Let God do His
work. These were his last words.
He was only 81 years of age when he
died; an age when he had not reached
the climacteric of his powers, or the full
development of his character and views
He was in the eager progressive stage of
intellectual life in which some of his
opinions had, perhaps, hardly crystal
lied into definite forms, and from which
ampler fruit might have been expected.
The work which he has actually achieved
is very great. His works consist of

The Black Forest.
London Graphic.

AS a matter of fact, the Black
Forest is as easy to traverse as
Switzerland; the roads are infinitely
better as they are under the charge
of a special association, which takes
great care to make them the best
highways in Europe; there is sign>
post at every turn, mile stone to
mark every hundred yards, there are
plenty of clean and well-kept inns,
where carriages and horses can be
obtained at fixed charges, and there
is a well-regulated government dill
gence service for those who do not
care to afford a private vehicle.
Then, again, the Schwarzwlder is
plain straightforward peasant, as
honest as he is obliging, never prone
to overcharge, and ready to do a
stranger good turn without look
ing for the least consideration in
fact, as complete a contrast as could
be imagined to the avaricious Switzer
who regards every stranger as
legitimate prey-and feeces him
roundly accordingly.

AN INGENIOUS MACHINE.
How Mr.. Wheless Proposes to Excel
StenOgraphic Reporting.


Washington Post
Mr.. Malone Wheless, of New Orr
leans, has recently invented a very
ingenious machine for reporting, by
which he claims he is able to report
over two hundred words per minute,
the words SO reported containing all
the vowel and consonant sounds. He
has so arranged the language that
any combination of sounds can be
instantaneously produced by the
mathematical permutations repre-
sented on the instrument. The read
ing of the record SO made is not con-
fined to the operator alone, as in ste
biography, but any who is familiar
with the table by which the instru~
ment is operated can readily trans
late any report produced. He not
only claims superiority over short
hand asto speed, but as to the perfect
accuracy with which any one can re-
port. The mathematical combina
tions are so ingenously arranged chat
NO two permutations can ever repre-
sent the same sound. Mr.. Wheless,
who is also an expert in telegraphy
claims that the speed of sending tel
egraphic messages by his invention
can be increased from fifty, the aver
age number of words per minute, to
200, and with as great accuracy as
is attained by the present system of
telegraphy. By the use of the ma
chimes so constructed a speech taken
in Congress, for instance, can be
transmitted to New York or any 9th
er distant point, SO that party at
the register in New York will be
able to read the speech while it is
being spoken in Washington. Mr..
Wheeless has been employed at
shorthand ten years, devoting the
past three years to the construction
of his invention.
