THE coBBIHRs.

"I might just as we'll give it up," an old English cobbIer said, sorrowfully {; "there's no use in fighting Ameri- can machinery. Things get worse every day, and all the cobblers are getting into other trades"
 "How long have you been at it?"
 "AlmOst fifty years. l was appren- ticed when was a boy for seven years, and I learned my trade under g good master. I became journeyman, and did fairly. When l was about twenty-four l came to this country and opened small shop. Business was good for ten or twelve years, and l put by little money. Then they began to invent. I don't believe there is single thing about boot or shoe but what it is covered with 6 dozen patents. There are machines that cut pegs, and machines that drive them, sewing machines that sew with cord or gut, or wire, and finishing machines. They were bad enough until manufac- turers began to divide up the trade. In stead of one man, who started with the leather and worked until he turned out pair of boots, they'd have two dozen men, each one of them to do one thing and no more. Then the Massachusetts men made contracts with the prisons and penitentiaries, and so got their labor almost for nothing. You can see how it is yourself. There is that shoe store across the way. The storekeeper never handled an awl in his life, but he makes money. Those shoes hang ing on the left, marked g, were made down near Boston by machinery in a great factory. They sell them to job bers for about $l. The jobber sells them again to the retailer for $l.25, and he makes seventy-five cents on them. And there're not bad shoes either. couldn't, to tell the truth, make 'em for less than 8. The shoes alongside, marked $l and $50, are what make me disgusted. They come from some State Prison, and usu- dIly WcdT tWO tilTcC IuOLtilS. III tuC old days mechanic or clerk would buy a good pair of shoes for $4 or $5, and by being careful they'd last for five or six months. He'd then have 'em half soled, and then they'd be good for a couple of months more. For half-sol- ing and heeling We cobblers would get from $l to $2. Nowadays the mechanic buys these jail shoes, and when they wear out get new pair. I don't blame him, though. He keeps his feet in better condition, and it costs less than it used to. l suppose it use to cost a workingman about $l2 for his shoes now it costs him $5 or $6. But it's rough on us old cobblers. Business is just about sne- quarter of what it was, and before long there'll be no cobblers left. You may have noticed how many of 'em are Germans. The English American and Irish are nearly all gone and even the Dutchmen get discouraged

and give up the lapstone and open a small beer saloon."
 Doesn't machinery do honest work ?" 'It depends on the concern. Take
 these evening shoes. Of course, there're only worn in parlors, and so they never
 need half-soling. Yeu'd suppose that
 sole solid leather. We'll, it isn't. One
 machine slices leather as fine as writing paper. They take two of these sheets and sandwich them with paste board
 and some patent glue, and another ma
 chine rolls it out into what looks like
 handsome sole leather. It costs one- quarter as much, and for parlors it's all right. But if the owner has to walk
 home through a heavy rain, all of a
 sudden the whole thing might drop out. They use it, too, for shoes for babies and nurses. Here's another sample a thin sheet of leather veneered on to canvas. This isn't altogether fraud [, because you can use it for baby car riages and for covering furniture; but for shoes it is worse than worthless. It wouldn't last more than three days"

JAY COOKIES PALACE.

Ogontz, Jay Cooke's Germantown palace near Philadelphia, is another great house on which the Northern Pacific brought calamity, though it was not built out of the profits of that fatal enterprise actual or prospective. It is larger and grander than VillaId's, and when l visited it itI stood in the mid dle of park of about 300 acres, with lawns and groves and streamlets and lakelets surroundingi and an artificial ruin, musoleum and leagues of con servatories among it's appendages. It went out of Mir. Cooke's possession after the panic of 1873, but it is now restored to him and is occupied as a young ladies' school. It was named after an Indian chief of the Sandusky tribe whom Mr. Cooke knew in his boyhood, and was one of the most spa cious residences in America. l sup pose the principality is now disremem- bered; the park cut up in quarters and sections, or building lots; the groves violated and their dryads fled and the artificial ruin, with it water fountains and worn, winding stairways and brok- en turrets, recast into some shape of utility. It was princely pleasure house and it was built and inhabited by man of princely dispositions. With him boundless prosperity was the pre- cursor of overwhelming disaster, but neither changed the simplicity and generosity of his spirit, and he was un- shaken by obloquy, as he has been un- spoiled by praise. am glad after the long sequestration of his temporalties they have finally been restored to him, though believe it is not his intention ever to inhabit Ogontz again. The twitter of sweet girl graduates will prob- ably mingle with the twitter of it's blue birds and orioles for good while yet. It is too big for private uses and too beautiful and costly for common ones. -[Correspondence Brooklyn Eagle.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE TELEPHONE.

It is found that, if by any means you change the strength of the magnetism in permanent magnet, you will at the same time change the strength of a current of electricity passing through a coil of wire surrounding the magnet, and it is upon this principle that all the modern telephones are constructed. If in front of such magnet thin sheet of iron is fastened, and if the.plate of iron is then approached little nearer to the extremity of the magnet, and hence the magnetic power at this point is increased; at the same time a similar increase is induced in the cur
 rent of electricity passing through the coil of wire surrounding the extremity of this magnet and now if in the same circuit of wire there is second similar ly arranged apparatus, the increased strength of the current passing through the coil surrounding the second magnet will induce an increase in it's magnetic power, and hence the second plate of iron will be attracted closer to the end of the magnet. In the same way slight withdrawal of the first plate from the end of the first magnet would cause weakening of the magnetism in the second, and cause it's iron lplate to spring backward again. So, in speak, ing in front of the first plate, at every vibration of the air produced by the voice the plate vibrates in harmony, and precisely identical sort of vibra- tion is produced in the plate of the ap- paratus at the other end of the wire, and these vibrations can be heard as the sound of voice. This is all there is to the Bell telephone, and it is the principle on which all telephones are constructed.-[ Prof. Chandler in N. Y. Medical Journal.

 "IIow about that little affair with with Potiphar's wife,"
 "Now, young man, you just take back seat and don't get too personal. Leave the girls alone. Mrs. P. was a darned fine woman, and don't you for get it." And I could hear Joseph sigh. "Well, sir, I won't trouble you longer. Would you kindly request Mir. Washing ton to step this way again?" Presently George came up. "Mr. Washington, won't detain you long, and won't bother you with David, but have you any other famous people ?" "Yes, sir, we have Jonah; he can tell the tallest stories of any man here. Then we have Adam and Eve, and l guess they'll be here until Judgment Day, which, can tell you, won't be for some hundred million years yet. They are here on account of the fruit racket. Eve is bit of crank, and goes around good deal with man that used to be fat man in a dime museum. But l must be off now. I hear you kicked up bobbery with the Hell wire the other day, and you little know what you are doing with this. Give my regards to the Enquirer boys. Now look out, l am going close up."
 There was great roar and bang, and found myself hurled to the earth.

THE CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS.

The action taken by the supreme Court
ofAppeals on yesterday in awarding a rule
against the publishers Of the Wheeling In-
telligercer, to show cause WHY they should
not be attached for contempt the for publ
cation Of an article rejecting on the integ-
rity of the individual members Of the Court
is a surprise to no one, unless 1t be that
the Court has not sooner taken notice of the
article in question.
At the time of its publication the uniyer-
sal expectation was that the Court would a.
once take proper steps to yindicate itself
from what was supposed to be SANDER,
and aimed at the individual members Of
the Court because of partisan raneor- The
Democratic press was not in condition to
rush to the defense of the Court until the
Court itself took steps for its own prOtee-
'tion. 1t is true the REGISTER met the allie
cation BY requesting the authors Of it at
once TO show up or shut up
Why the Court delayed proceedings until
their attention vas directed to it BY an at
torney in the court is matter Of eonjec-
ture. Whatever reasons it NAV have had
for the delay, there can be no two opinions
about the propriety Of the contempt pro-
eeedings adopted BY the Court. There was
no other course left except to rest under
the imputatiou that the judges were corrupt
and had prostituted their high Offices to
base partizan ends. They were charged
with having Sigui6ed to n caucus, in ad-
vance, what the Judgment Of the Court would
be If a case should be made up involving
certain questions Of differences between the
legislative and executive departments Of
the Government, and that upon the strength
Of the promise then given BY the individual
Judges of the highest court in the State, the
executive launched into existence the fam
Gus supplemental assessment order. II
these allegations were true the court would
have been brought into contempt To have
longer laid under the imPutatiou without
taking steps to yiudicate itself would have
created the suspicion, if it had not already
done so, that the charges were true.
As brethren in journalism our symPathies
are naturally enlisted with the IntelEgeu-
Ger, but at the same time We cannot give
endorsement TO the PRONUNCIATION of slam
der and especially against the judicial
branch of the government We hope that
our Fourteenth street friends will be able
to show cause Why they should not be dealt
with harshly by the court At the same
time We must commend the action Of the
court If the Judicial streams become im-
pare the whole body polite will become cor

Two Old Women Gagged and Cruelty
Robbed
PORT JARVIS, June PA year ago Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Bogart, of townsville, Del
aware county, celebrated the 18th ami
velsary of their wedding day. They were
each sc years old. Mr.. Bogart was in fee
bic health, but his wife was able to walk a
mile every day to take care of sick daugh-
ter, her youngest child, aged 70. Mary Bo-
CART, sister of Mr.. Bogart, who lived with
the old couple, was then 79. She remem-
bered the day they were married.
Some months ago old Mr.. Bogart died.
He left his wife the home they had occupied
for three-Quarters of century and 81 800
in money The centarian widow and her
octogenarian sister-in-law have lived alone
in the house since the death of Mr.. Bogart
They kept the money Sa-the house. One
night last week burglars catered the house
at midnight. They bound and gagged the
helpless old women, aud searched the
house. They found the 81 800 and took it
away with them. 1t is thought that neither
Mrs. Bagart nor her sister-in-law can sur
viye the shock of the assault and robbery.
No clue to the perpetrators of the crime can
be found. If ffound they will be lynched
without moments delay.

TERRIBLE DEATH.
A Young Man Killed by the Caving in of
aWell.


Well.
SrREErsBORO, O., June 24.-Frederick
Belden met a terrible death here last night
A well was being dug for Norman Peck at
his creamery, and had reached a depth Of
about seventy feet. Young Belden was at
the bottom, placing the side walls. The
men at the top received signal from Bel
den to hoist him up quickly, followed by
another more decided in its character The
men gave a quick pull at the ropes, but
rattling sound from below told that the well
had caved in, burying the unfortunate man
below to the depth of nearly fifty feet With
in an hour hundred sturdy farmers were at
work trying to rescue him. The first 25 feet
of the well was dug through tough clay
which remained firm. The rest was through
loose sand, which had caved in. A Young
man who descended the first twenty-five
feet TO begin work, said that for an hour and
half he could catch sounds and detect a
movement of the rope that reached TO the
bottom, showing that the man was having a
terrible struggle with death But at length

human aid was no longer needed The
crowd increased rapidly, and finally the
work of excavation was begun. All night
the work went on, fresh men taking the
places of those who had become exhausted
They seemed to make little headwsy, as the
loosened sand caved in as fast as the other
was removed, and this morning several feet
of sand yet remained to be taken out before
the dead man could be reached. Young
