How He WoOed and Won His Wife When
He Was a Poor Young Man.
New York Correspondence Plttsburg Dispatch.

New York CORES pondence p tits burg Dispatch
About sixty years ago Cornelia Clinch
was one OF the pretteSt girls in New York,
She and her brother, who afterward became
collector of the port, were the children of a
ship-chandler, who was very rich, as wealth
was reckoned in those days. He lived in a
big house on Duane street, then one of the
most fashionable parts OF the city Old
Cliuch was a self-made man and thought
every other man ought to be the architect
of his own fortunes. So be frowned away
every wealthy young flop who came to WOO
Cornelia, and sent her regularly to school to
learn to be sensible. useful woman. And
his ideas were respected, for he had a terrible
temper when he was crossed.
There is still standing, near Stnyvesant
Square, little old-fashioned church known
as ST. Marks. In those days it was away
out of the city in the green fields. But
every Sunday old Clinch went mp there with
his pretty daughter. One day young Stew
art saw them. On his side it was clearly
case of love at first sight He began attend
ing church there regularly. Then he made
Cornelia's acquaintance, and, as he was poor
but industrious, the old man smiled upon
him and invited him to call and take drinks
with them. After a while Stewart asked
Cornelia a very interesting question, and
she, like a good girl, blushed and said:
"Ye-e-s-if papa says So" Then Stewart in
terviewed old Clinch, and he said: Want
to marry Nellie, Ell? Think she's got a
rich father ell? And you'd like to come in
for a share of his earnings eh%'
mo. sir; you needn't leave her or me
cent Pll soon be richer than you anyway"
"You will will you? Well, like that Go
ahead and take her, then, and Heaven bless
you both"
So the young folks who were tremendous
ly in love with each other, were married and
went to live in modest little cottage on
ID. i lad - Ii =,
cover the floors with rag carpet. Old people
who knew them there tell me that they lived
an almost ideally happy life. They studied
each others happiness in all things, and con-
suited with each other about every detail of
household or business affairs, and became

when we sent collars to the Legislature, and
atterward elected him city attorney, and
again doomed him for Congress, and still later
for county attorney, that every victory won
for him was in opposition to the Colericks,
and each defeat he sustained was largely
brought about by the Colerick faction%'
Then you think collars has gone back on
his friends" [ asked, "in appointing Hon.
Walpole g. Coerick to the position vacated
by Judge Morris? Gone back on his friends,
yes; but not only that, but gone back on
himself, set up for a trimmer, until to-day
not one of his old and standby friends in
the city, either Democrat or Republican, in
dorses his course, outside OF the Colerick
faction"
"How do you account for his action%' | in
quired. "Oh, he wants to go to Congress
after Lowry, and thinks he can succeed by
winning over the Colericks; but he has for
cotton to consider how many of his old
friends he will lose" "How will this strike

it's cream for Bell" said my
friend. HE could now safely

heretofore stood by Judge Collars Tor one

/ find the difficulties of the Allen county
Democracy have been intensified rather than
toned down since last year. and that the de-
fiction is OF that character that but little in
terest will be taken in the next county con-
vention by the dissatisfied Democrats, they
having lost hope of reforming party whose
delegates in many cases, as is alleged, sell out
at so much head The result will be
that the ring will nominate its
ticket without much trouble, except from
a few country candidates who still imagine
that fair dealings will be accorded them.
On the question of the next Governor for
our State, this county on the Democratic
side is also badly den. o-alized. Some of the
politicians are for Gray o., many of the
rank and file say he is too smart Iof -.
sion, and besides is not genuine Democrat,
only a sort of "halfbreed." These latter
men are for Judge Turpie. Next is the di-
vision amongst the Mcdonald men and the
friends of Hendricks, and while but little is
said the feeling is quite bitter. In addition
to this there is strong element here in favor
of Judge Thurman, of Ohio, as the next
standard bearer for the Democracy in 1884
So, taking the political situation as a whole,
the Allen county Democrats have about as
much trouble on hand as a widow with a
large family of little ones and no means of
support. MACK.

Leisure Notes at Odd Times.

TO the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
Allen county has a small tempest on hand
but mostly kept as a sort of private grow
among the faithful. Yet 1t has leaked out in
quiet way, and the prospect of the Democ-
raey going into the campaign of 1884 in a
worse condition, and more split up than even
IN 1883. is first-class. In 1888 an Independent
sheriff and one commissioner of the opposi-
ton were elected, and even the Democratic
candidates who were elected were cut down
from 1000 to l 800 each on the old majority
IS1that party.
Last year there was no detection amongst
democrats either on the State or congress
sional tickets; but will such be the case next
year2 An active Democrat said to me, the
other day, that the party had at last reached
point which would likely cause a split on
the State ticket hereafter, as we'll as in county
affairs.
Another gentleman, whom l approached
an hour later was not inclined to talk, but
at last said: ~ feel Inundated, sold
out and by man never
thought would be trimmer,

Mrs. Carlisle is a tall, blonde lady, of great
dignity and courtesy of manner, and except
in years, in which Mrs. Robinson has the adj

the wife of Massachusetts, Governor-elect.
Mrs. Cox, wife of the New York aspirant, is

Miss Buckingham, wealthy maiden lady

a New Recording Telephone.


Mr.. Arthur ST. George has patented a ne77
telephone. Supplementary to the telephone
itself is continuance which will, it is stated
not only record every description of con-
versation carried on through the instrument
but will reproduce the words at any future
time. A circular plate of glass is coated
with collodion and made sensitive as a pho

In front of the glass is the telephone dia.
phragm, which, by its vibrations, opens and
closes small shutter, through which beam
of light is constantly passing and imprinting
dark line on the glass. Vibrations of the
shutter causes the dark line to vary in thick
ness according to the tones of the voice. The
glass plate revelves by clockwork, and the
conversation, as it leaves the telephone, is
recorded on the sensitive plate, the words
spoken being fixed as is done in photography.
The plate can be brought forward afterward
and when replaced in the machine and con-
nected with distant telephone will, when
set in motion, give back the original con-

A CHASTITY EXPERIMENT,
An Agreement in the Interest of Science-A
Severed Head Winks.


Severed Head Winks.
Paris Figaro,
DR.. de la Pommerais was executed in June
1864. for murder of the Palmer type. On
the night before his execution he was visited
by Surgeon Velpeau, who, after few pre-
liminary remarks, informed him that he
came in the interests of science, and that he
hoped for DIR. la Pommeras's cooperation.
You know" he said, that one Of the most
interesting questions of physiology Is as to
whether any ray of memory. reflection or
real sensibility survives in the brain of a man
after the fall of the head" AT this point
the condemned man looked somewhat
startled, but professional instincts at once
resumed their sway, and the two physi-
clans calmly discussed and arranged the
details of an experiment for the
next morning. When the knife falls" said
Velpeau, Il shall be standing at your side,
and your head will at once pass from the ex-
eeutioner's hands into mine. | will then cry
distinctly into your ear: 'Couty de la Pom
merais, can you at this moment thrice lower
the lid of your right eye, while the left re-
mains open?' The next daywhe the great
surgeon reached the condemned cell, he
found the condemned man practicing the
sign agreed upon. few minutes later the
guillotine had done its work, the head was
in Velpeau's hands and the question put.
Familiar as he was with the most shocking
and chastity scenes, he was almost frozen with
terror as he saw the right lid fall, while the
other eye looked hxedly at him. Again"
he cried frantically. The lids moved, but
they did not part. 1t was all over.

Not in Favor of the New Time.
, .ha rDdi+o, Of tha fundamentals Jonf7na1:

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journaa
do not agree with you that the city has
done good thing to put back the hands OF
the cloclz'' You quote Professor John, but
he is not resident of this city; therefore, is
not interested in the question. We are con-
cerned about indianapolis.
You do not seem to comprehend that in a
city like this great many duties have to be
performed and things done at or by the ris-
ing and setting of the sun. Almanacs have
to be constantly consulted. The almanac
says the sun or moon will rise or
set at a certain time. We look
at the city clock for that time,
but it does not give us that time
it is sixteen minutes wrong; in other words
the city clock is a moving falsehood, and
Professor John may say what he pleases but
1t will not alter the fact. There existed no
real necessity to alter the clock, but the
county commissioners (of whose profound
wisdom we have so many notable eXamples)
thought otherwise and hence all this trouble
and confusion. l would suggest for the guild
ance of strangers and others that sign be
put up on the clock tower with the words on
it in large letters: This clock is sixteen
minutes slow" j.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 20.
What special duties are to be performed
by the rising and setting sun we do not know
and because Professor John does not happen
10 be resident of indianapolis, seems to be
an insufficient reason to determine that he
knows nothing.-Ed. Journal

Bad Water from the Water Works.

40 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Why is the water works water so roily at
present? Simply because it is dirty. Does
any one suppose for a moment that this water
comes from up the river? Just go down to
the water works, citizens, and see for your
selves whether there is or is not pipe run
ming into the dirty river, through which
drinking water is pumped into houses. The
fact is, there is just as good chance as ever
there was for a flrst-rate water works conf
pany to be formed here to bring water from
Fall creek, or from some spot above our sew
nge. And scientifically constructed water
works would be paying investment in In

THE GLOsSOGRAPH.
An Instrument for Recording SPEECH
AUTOMATICALLY.

One OF the most Interesting exhibits at
the Vienna Electrical Exhibition Is Gentillis
glossograph, little instrument by which
speech Is automatically reproduced as soon
as i is uttered A small apparatus is placed
In the mouth Of the speakor-in contact with
the roof of his mouth, his tongue and lips
and on being connected with an electro. mag
netic registering apparatus the sounds are
committed to paper. 1t is constructed in
such manner as not to cause any inc ,nven-
fence to the speaker: neither is II necessary
that the voice should be raised. as 1t repro
duces whisper as exactly as shout :
the only condition is correct and dis
tinc' articulation. According to the inventors
calculation, II will be possible to write four
or five times as fast by means Of the CLOS
soQraph as has hitherto been possible even by
the quickest writer. At first sight 1t appears
as II this invention were but an improve
ment upon Edison's phonograph It is, how
ever. Of much older date. It rests. unlike
the former. on an acoustic principle, and does
not reproduce the sounds in microscopical
form. The chief obstacle to the Introduction
OF the glossograph. SAYS the Pail Mall Gazotte,
will lie the difficulty In deciphcring the
characters, but it is not impossible that with
the help Of second automatic apparatus the
characters produced by the gossograph may
be translated into onr common type-writing.
The orthography would doubtless appear
strange, but in these DAYS of phonetic SPELL
ing this might not long be a hindrance.
