exclusive use of wire. AS before stated,
it transmits the exact handwriting of
message, delivering a perfect fac-simile at
the opposite end of the line.
Another instrument is operated like the
key board of type writer, the depression
of key producing a given letter, and do
ing away with the necessity of skilled
operator. They will also use what is call
ed "The Harmonic System" each instru-
ment being tuned to different tone, and
vibrating in unison with an instrument at
the other end of the line tuned to the same
tone, thus allowing eight operators to send
messages simultaneously, and making it
possible to send as many as 1900 words
per minute, and also allowing messages
to be sent in opposite directions at the

public is its cheapness. When one can
send long letter as cheaply as now mes
sage of ten words, the telegraph is certain
to come into use for the bulk OF CONNER
cIal transactions. We cannot set forth, in
the limits of a single article, the many adj
vantages of this new system of telegraphy,
but enough has been indicated to show
that it marks a new era in this wonderful
invention, the benefits of which are to
some extent, being brought to our very
doors. 1t is gratifying to know that along
with an unexampled era of prosperity in
all business departments, this new line is
being opened to US.
This line runs from New York to Chica-
go and will be completed and ready for
business in a few weeks. 1t is being built
in the most substantial manner with extra
large cedar or chestnut poles, set five feet
in the ground, and much nearer together
than those of other companies.
We are indebted for the foregoing facts
to Mr.. A. E. Crocker, one ofits local super
intendents. We bespeak for the Postal the
success it deserves and unlimited pros
perity.

FURTHERMORE

We are of the opinion that the mar
riage anniversary of seven-tenths of the
married people who read this, comes
within thirty days of this date. If so,
then this is the marrying season, and
big dinners and suppers, good victuals,
and good drinks are indispensable, and
in order.
Now, we roast coffee that is speci-
ally adapted TO such occasions. Any
good housewife knows that bread baked
60 days before using Is not so good as
fresh baked. There is the same differ
ence in Coffee. We roast three times a
week, and always have it fresh. We
think we would neglect duty if we did
not warn mothers of marriagabl
daughters against spelling good din
ners or suppers by usinS last years
roasted coffee, much of which is slimed
over with gum arabic, common starch,
dirty and rotton molasses, or something
more filthy to well cared for and pro-
perly educated stomach.
If anybody expects to get better
meal at any one place than another, it's
at a wedding, and If our coffee is the
best at W edding,it's the best any place,
hence, buy all your coffee of us.
We have numerous other articles that
go in to make up handsome and pala-
table meal, such as pure spices, the cell
ebrated Royal Baking Powder, Raisins,
Citron, Cocoanut, Chocolate, California
Canned Fruits, Honey, Salad Dressing,
Chow-chow, Olives, Olive Oil, G. S.
Maltby's celebrated Oysters, that ev-
rybOdy inquiries for.
And then, when the fun is all over,
and reality in life gets hold of your vest
collar and the other end of your coat,
come to our store and buy a set of dish
es, washboard, tub, clothes line, clothes
crackers, flour, salt, sugar lamp oil, aud
such, and leave the past to itself, which
is unchangable, but do the best you
can right in the present as doth the sub
scribers- BowLBY & HALL.

ANNIE VoN BEHREN, an actress from
Brooklyn, who had been on the stage three
years, and was less than twenty-five years
of age and engaged to marry Frank l.
Frayne, was personating Ruth Slocum in
a sensational drama, in the Coliseum thea
ter, Cincinnati, Thursday afternoon, when
Frayne in shooting an apple from her head
by backward shot, did what had long
been prophesied he would yet do, missed
the apple but killed the girl. 1t isnot the
first fatal case Of this kind. Dam Howe
killed his wife, and one of the Austins was
shot by his brother in the same way, and
Frayne's wife, who was an expert with the
rifle, as are also his boy and girl, used to
change places with him in this act, and
once missed the apple and took off her
husbands thumb The law ought to put
an end TO this kind of folly.

IT is reported that Commissioner Raum
viii recommend Congress to abolish inter-
nal revenue taxes on all articles except
whiskey and tobacco, and to reduce it on
these so that the receipts shall not exceed
100000, 900 annually. We entirely agree
that it would be q wise move to relieve
taxation in every possible way that win be
q relief to the people, but how it can make
1t any better to reduce the tax on those
two articles most degrading to humanity
and destructive to human life known to
commerce, we fail to see. On the contrary
if the tax was increased till they were
made as expensive as quinine or morphine,
and thus pu. beyond the ability of the
masses to purchase them, it would be a
blessing of incalculable value. Let us not
reform backwards

Wonderful Surgical Operation-Removal
of Urinary stones from the

Mr.. Simeon Tietsell, of Saugerties, N. Y /,
had been treated for seven years by various
physicians for what they call Structure Of the
Urethra, without benefit. He finally consult
ed DR.. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y,
who found his trouble to be Urinary Calculi
or Stones in the Bladder. The doctor at once
removed the foreign bodies with the knife
and then gave his great Blood Specific,
'Favorite Remedy" to prevent their reform
alton. The entire treatment was eminently
successful, and Mr.. Tietselrs recovery was
rapid and perfect.
While 'Favorite Remedy" is a specific in
all Kidney snd Bladder diseases, it is equally
valuable in cases of Bilious Disorders, Con-
stipatlon of the Bowels, and all the class of
ills apparently inseparable from the consti-
tutions of women. Try it. Your druggist
has, IL and its cost is only one dollar a bottle.
The lucky man is he who puts this advice in
practice. Don't forget the name and address,
DIR. David Kennedy, -Rondout, n. Y. The DR..
would have it understood that, while he is in
engaged in the introduction of his medicine,
"Favorite Remedy" he still continues the
prrctice of his profession, but confines him
self exclusively TO office practice. He treats
all diseases of chronic character, and per-
forms all the minor and capital operations of
surgery. 11-4

Postal Telegraph.

The new telegraph line which is being
erected through Pittsfeld, Wellington,
Rochester, and New London, is matter
of more interest than has been supposed.
It is being constructed by a company
known as "The Postal Telegraph Com
pany," though it has no connection with
the postal department of the Government,
as might be inferred by the name. 1t is
designed, however, as far as possible, to
establish offices in the post-offices of the
various towns through which it passes, and
it is conjectured that it is preparing to fill
the place of a Government postal telegraph
system, which it is understood the Post
Master General will recommend Congress
to inaugurate, and either prevent its adop-
ton by supplying the want in advance, or
in the event of the move being successful,
to be in position to compel the Govern
ment to purchase its lines, or take the risk
of ruinous competition with rich and
powerful corporation.
Our readers viii, however, be most in
terested in learning some of the improve
ments in telegraphy which this company
own, and which viii first be put into use
on large scale on this line. The wire
consists of steel wire core, weighing 200
lbs per mile, on which layer of copper
is deposited weighing 500 lbs. per mile.
This very much increases its strength and
durability, and gives itseven times greater
conductivity than iron wire of equal size,
and thus enables it to be worked under all
atmospheric conditions on any length of
circuit, even entirely across the continent
without repeaters, and without repeating
the messages. The instruments and the
methods are entirely new. By an quito
matte method the person sends his own
message, writing it with pen in electric
connection with the instrument, and the
writing is exactly reproduced at the other
end of the line, with all its peculiarities
by similar instrument. The letter, or
message, when it Is finished is folded and
placed in the Post Office or delivered to
the person addressed as any ordinary tele-
graphic message. 1t win enable CONNER
cial or financial houses to prepare their
messages in their own Offices and send
them instantly to their corresponding
house ut any distant point without the in

THERE is an unprecedented demand for,
and scarcity of silver dimes. The reason
is said to be that the amount of minor sill
yer pieces authorized by law-$54, ,0O0, 900
worth-was reached some time ago, and
that since then it was thought inadvisable
to increase the gross amount Of silver then
put in circulation.

thinks he could edit newspaper or
run hotel. This, of course, is an
extravaganza; but certainly every one
thinks that every man, woman and
child can sell goods; whereas, to do
it satisfactorily, is, like everything
else, an art to be learned, and the
model salesman or saleswoman is as
rare as skillful artisan among prem
tice hands.
TO WAIT ON A CUSTOMER REQUIRES,
first OF all, patience and good tenn
per, serenity, cheerfulness-in a
word, good manners. Emerson has
said: Manners are the happy ways
of doing things, each one a stroke of
genius, or of love, now repeated and
hardened into usage. They form at
last rich varnish WITH which the
rontine of life is washed and its de-
tails adorned. But through
the lustrous varnish the reality is
ever shining. No surface politeness
can successfully conceal inbred irrita-
bility and i'll temper.
Next to good manners, tact is per-
haps the most desirable quality-a
little word, hard to define, but full
Of meaning. In this, women are
supposed to excel, and to it doubt
less our best saleswomen owe their
popularity and success. Tact i'm
plies quick perception Of qualities
and circumstance, and the power of
adaptation to them. Tact puts shy
people at ease, coaxes cross people
into good humor, helps the irreso-
lutte to a decision, and comes to the
rescue of the Dewildered, who don't
know what they want, and gracious
ly finds cut the very thing to please
them most. The great secret of sues
cess in business or in society is the
power of reading human nature and
playing upon it as a skiIful musician
plays upon his Instrument. Our lit
tie weaknesses, follies and whims,
our tastes and preiudiees, are often
better known to our associates than
we imagine, and even visible to
chance observers, and an experienced
salesman will often measure his GUS
toners as they appear, and adapt
himself to their idiOsyncracies with
the adroitness of a Richelieu.
The salesman should, of course,
be well posted as to the stock in his
department, and ready to give any
information desired, sometimes to
volunteer information or offer sug-
gestions, but should carefully guard
against becoming officiOus or obtru-
sive. He who would be a model
salesman must seek to attain the
happy mean between the extremes
to be avoided. He will be neither
Indifferent nor obtrusive, supercil-
ious nor Obsequious, neither too
formal nor too familiar. He will be
alert and active, but not tiresomely
frisky and fdgety. He will know his
own business thoroughly, but not
assume to know yours. He will be
courteous, accommodating, truthful
and honest. If to these qualifca-
tons he adds the grace and charm of
good manners and q moderate
amount of tact, his employees may
congratulate themselves on securing
a pre-, and on their part should see
to it that he is treated with proper
consideration and that his services
receive due appreciation and COM
pensation.
