An Iarentiye Genius Builds n Good In.
Dat OF Ola Scraps.
An inventive genius named George
Phillips, who resides near Binghamp-
on, Solano County. has done a won-
acrful piece of work in constructing
AN organ from old newspapers, scraps
of wood and glass, A gentleman, who
Is a neighhor Of the inventor. gave a
reporter Il description Of the organ.
Phillips is a native Of England. sixty
years of age. In constructing the or
gan he tightly rolled old newspapers
together with n paste made of glue and
alum. The pipes arc all made of this
material, and he claims that they are
superior to either wood or metal. The
pipes are four hundred in number. the
longest being sixteen feet by six inches
in diameter and the shortest is one inch
by one-eighth. The work is made en-
tirely of scrap lumber. such as old
posts and fence boards. boxes and the
like. The white" keys are common
redwood, covered with white lead and
neatly cut pieces Of old window glass
stuck on, The workmanship is not
elegant, but every thing about it is truly
unique. Mr.. Phillips was two years in
building the organ. and at the same
time did all his own farm work. Out.
side of his time the organ cost him
nothing, and he claims it to be better
than any one he might buy. as neither
heat nor cold has any effect upon it.
and it will never get out of tune.
Phillips was apprcnticed to a butcher
when a boy, but his tastes were far
above such occupation, and al. his spare
moments were devoted to the study Of
music. IIe made such rapid strides in
the art that he soon secured a salaried
position, and claims that he has made
thousands of dollars by his skill. He
has playedi in Crystal Palace, Wesleyan
Chapel and other places of note. He
has built eight or nine organs all of
paper, and also learned the plumbers
trade. He left London in 1850 and
went to Australia, and from there to
Peru. Here he served three years on
board of \ man-of-war rs third engi-
neer. He has since made two trips
around the world, and about twenty
r--
years ago he came to the United States.
Here he engaged in the plumbing bust
ness and was quite successful, having
at one time forty-dve men in his en-
ploy. He did the plumbing in the

buildings. When he began building

these same men may say: "Well, it
isn't SO bad. 1t is really what a per-
son makes it, after all; SO let us make
the best of it." That was the way
with a gentleman who died in New
York not long ago. The gentleman
was a F%rcnchman. In order that he
might brighten life, he organized the
peanut Club Let no boy for an
instant fancy that this was a club At
which the members ate ground-nuts.
The club was very simple. Each mem.
Der carried about HMM his waist.

to his watch-chain-a piece of ivory
shaped and colorcd like a peanut.
The point was this: Every member
was bound to produce his charm when
ever and wherever another member
should challenge. If Mr.. A.. meeting
Mr.. b.. should hold up to view the bit
of ivory. then Mr.. B. vas bound to do
the same, or else pay the fine. At first
the fine was one dollar; afterward the
fine was fixed at five dollars. The
fines we're paid into the clubs purse,
which for many years was kept fat and
full. Now, this may seem boyish.
not to say "silly," for a parcel
OF dignitied business men, yet
some of the members Of the
club were gentlemen favorably
known throughout America. The
Frenchman in question was the preA-

front of the Frenchman. lie was
caught. The next day he paid the fine
without a murmur. Years after that
he found himself wedged in a great
crowd in Broadway. He was a stout
man-as round and as rosy as a pippin
and he could not possibly get his
hand into his waistcoat pocket in that
crowd. Just then a member of the
club saw him, and realized the stout
presidents prodicament. Out came
the slim mans charm, and the chal-
lenge was given. I'm pay" said the
Frenchman; and pay he did. Again,
he was at Long Branch. He had for
about the peanut, and was dis
porting in the wave a long way from
shore. Suddenly he saw some one,
with uplifted arm, swimming toward
him. In the hand that belonged to the
uplifted arm was a little yellowish OBJ
ject, like a pebble. But it was not a
pebble; it was one Of the ivory pea
nuts. The poor president laughed so
that he was nearly drowned.-GOlden
