LITERARY NOTES.

Straus, a monthly journal, illustrated in
colors, published at Louisville, has been
changed to a weekly, something on the order
of HdJpeT's.
Probably national feeling came to the aid
of morality in the recent seizure by the Ger
man police authorities OF the entire editions
OF two of Zola's novels which had been turnd
into the language OF Goethe.
The publication of Judge Tourgee's new
book, John Cor, was postponed until the Sth
instant on account OF the large number of
orders received in advance OF publication.
1t is from the press of the Messrs. Fords,
Howard & Halbert, New York.
Alphonse Daudet, as child, showed won
derful literary precocity. He was always
found at the head of his class whenever i
subject was given for original composition in
prose or verse; and some verses which he
wrote on Homer were an event IN the annals
of the school.
1t is stated that Page Mccarthy, one of the
editors of the Washington Capital, now ak
ing three months trip with Emma Abbott
as press agent, will publish his experience on
the road in book form. AS Mr.. Mccarthy is
an artist, as we'll as a writer, and will illus
trate his book with characteristic sketches,
it cannot fail to be interesting.
The original editions OF Poe's poems are
now exceedingly rare. Mr.. Lang has not
been able in England TO meet with any text
earlier than that of 1S45. In his new edition
included in The Parchment Li6rdry-he has
restored the American spelling with an ap-
peal to Americans TO preserve the English
spelling in American repubications.
The Bride Of Bar Cooa6 is a long poem
wherein 4 valiant Hebrew executes deeds Of
daring against the Romans, and is finally
eaten up by wild beasts in the arena. The
manner in which this is described is erces-
sively blood-curdling:
The lions rush upon theirprey
Tie best that can be said of this poem is that
it shows a facility at rhyming; the critic
pauses aghast at such lines as these:
Phenomenal men in epoch times
Commit what were in Others crimes.
James Spedding's Evenings Nth a Repieloerr,
which for some time existed only as a prl-
yately printed book, has lately been publish
ed in England. 1t presents compactly and
pointedly many of the reasonings which are
given in a more scattered and indirect form
In the same authors elaborate Life Of Bacon,
and II makes mincemeat Of Maoaulay In
contrasting his assertions in regard to Bacon
with the evidence upon which they are
grounded.

THE TELERADIOPHONE.
Improvements i'm Telegraphy Made by
French Electrician.
London Times.

London Times
Nj. Mercadier, the eminent French electri
cisn, has ipgeniously adapted the photo
phone of Prof. Bell to telegrapky. In
the photophone ray OF light is reflected by
a mirror so as to fall upon the sensitive sur.
face of "selenium cell" joined up in the
circuit of voltaic battery and a speaking
telephone. When the light strikes the cell
its electric resistance is diminished, and a
wave or pulse OF current flows through the
telephone, causing it to sound. By eclipsing
the ray of light great many times per sec
ond, this sound can be exalted into contin-
uous hum, like that of tuning fork, and by
again occulIing the intermittent ray for long
and short intervals, corresponding TO the
flashes of a signaling lantern, this hum or
drone can be broken up into audible signals.
Thus, if the Morse Geographic code is used,
short occultation, producing a short pause
in the note of the telephone, will stand for a
pause, will stand for dash" This photo
electric telegraph is realized by NJ. Merca-
der with the help of a gas fame forming
the source OF light, mirror and lenses to
direct its rays upon the selenium cell in cir
cult with a battery and the line wire. The
beam is regularly eclipsed by means of a
rapidly rotating disc perforated with a
circle Of holes, and the Geographic occulta-
tions of the intermittent beam are effected
poses dead screen in the track of the light
whenever the key is pressed. These appa-
ratus form the transmitter, and the receiver
at the other end of the line Is, of course the
telephone, which is fitted with a resonator 10
reinforce the sound. There is no gain in
such an arrangement over the ordinary tele-
graph now in use; but il has the merit of
lending itself to multiply telegraphy. Thus
by multiplying the number of transmit
tiers at one end of the line, and the
number of telephones at the other, sew
eral different messages can be sent along
the same wire at once. In order to do this
it is only necessary to rotate the eclipsing
wheels at different speeds, so as to produce
notes of different pitch in the receiving tele-
phones, and to tit each resonatOr so as to en-
hance a particular note. Then, although
the complex current flows through all the
telephones in turn, each telephone will only
render to the ear of the clerk the particular
note for which he listens, and the makes and
breaks of that note will be interpreted as
the message. Not only can several messages
be sent in one direction along the same wire
together, but from opposite ends simults-
neously without confusion, and NJ. Mer-
cadier reckons that with ten transmitters
and ten receivers at each end of line, he
can send two hundred dispatches OF thirty
words each per hour, or one hundred words
per minute, in either direction. The effects
Of induction, go troublesome in speaking by
telephone, are not experienced in this pro-
cess, owing to the employment of musical
notes and resonators.

THE LITTLE WIDOW
little widow once l knew

A little widow once knew,
thought she was jewel;
Her face WAS fair, her eyes were blue,
And she was sweet and gentle too,
Nor could / think, when should sue.
That | would find her cruel.
Her smile was brighter than the star
That decks the sky at even,
Filings out its scintillations far,
A beauty wears that naught can mar,
And, while the pearly gates ajar,
Llumes the way TO heaven.
Her voice so birdlike seemed to be.
or music's soft completeness,
That well might zephyrs pause, when sh
Breathed forth tender melody,
Such as she had once sung for me,
And charmed me with its sweetness.
Ger me her charms a witching east.

But oh, that all way in the past,
She wakened hopes alone to blast
For well-tOo WE'LL learned at last.
That she was cold and cruel.
