THE TELEPHONE.

An Instrument with . Future as Marvel
Gus as That of the Telegraph.
Experimental operations with = new
telephone are reported as giving effec-
tive results at distance of six hundred
and thirty miles, or from this city to
Cleveland. O.. while an attempt to
reach Chicago was not successful. But
failure for the time being as TO any
electrical experiment does not imply
that the world has reached the limit of
the possible uses it can make of what
so far as man can guess. is the most
energetic force in the created universe.
At one time the greatest telegraphic
projects seemed to have found an APP
parent limit because it WAS thought
sufficient force could not be put upon
the wires, and at that very time the evil
was that the wires were destroyed by an
excessive application of force. All We
can conclude from failure of an cleo
trio motor o. telephone. or other ap-
paratus or instrument for using cleo
ticity is, that the force has not been
applied in the proper conditions; that
the ingenious inventor has not yet ex-
torted from nature the secret Of that
particular case. But the telephone has
perhaps . future As marvellous, COM
pared with its present condition. as
the telegraph itself had when in its
rudimentary stage--N 7. AdI and

replied that his speech must be OF unusual
length, and that he would not promise
that it would come to q close before the
LEGAL session of Congress came to an end.
Wade, who had in his charge what was
in effect Lincoln's bill, was on this an
nouncement compelled to abandon it.
Sumner thus managed to have the whole
great subject of reconstruction postponed
to the period when it could be discussed In
all its larger relations to the welfare OF both
sections of the country. 1t is very likely
that this incident, as Sumner told it, may
be Inaccurate In some details. If so, the
fault is in the memory of the listener, not
in his long narrative. But his object in
telling it wa to illustrate q beautiful
quality of Lincoln's character.

ceremonies of the Inauguration, and also
to accompany him to the ball in the even

the kind of wonder that was excited, when,
with Mrs. Lincoln on my arm, l made my
way through the throng Of ladies and gen
tlemen present, and placed her in her Sc

LINCOLN AND SUMNER.
Astory That illustrates Beautiful Quality
of the War Presidents Character.

~. Louis Chronicle.
A well known eX-member Of the Cabinet
tells some interesting "reminiscences of Sen
ator Sumner. A few days before Lincoln's
second Inauguration Sumner called at the
White House and told him that he was de-
termined to defeat, in the Senate, his IA
vorite measure regarding Louisiana, be-
cause it would involve a vicious principle,
which would be quoted as a precedent when
any large scheme of reconstruction might
be brought forward.
Lincoln blandly listened to the Senator's
remOnstrance and replied: "Mr. Sumner,
| am not convinced by your arguments,
and as to your threats of defeating the bill,
l can tell you it is impossible, for / know
a clear majority of the Senate is in its
favor"
But l tell You, Mr.. President" answer
ed Sumner, sit shall and will be defeated"
TRY it." was the quiet response.
Sumner did try it. He appeared on the
last night of that session of Congress with
a small law library, partly on his desk and
partly piled upon each side Of it.
The bill was introduced, and it was sup
posed it would be Immediately
passed. Sumner, however, had the floor,
and he began to speak. After he had spo-
ken an hour or two, it occurred to Senator
Wade, Of Ohio, to ask Sumner, as the ses-
sion OF Congress would soon expire, and as
there was much necessary business still
remaining to be done, how long the Sen
ator from Massachusetts, intended to occu-
py the attention of the Senate. Sumner

4 NEW JERSEY MISER.
The Queer Life of John Van Schanck-
$4,000 Hid Away in His House.
MI. ,I Ir-,.y,

MATAwAM, n. j., August 3l.-John
Van Schanck, IN old miser, who lives ut
his old homestead at Bradwell, near here,
having had two paralytic shocks, and be-
lieving he was dying, sent for Judge Spa
der, Lafayette COnOver, and Charles Z.
ConOver. He was found lying on q half
broken bed. The house is eighty-five
years old. Schanck is - years old, and
has always lived in this same house. 1t is
made of old-fashiOned shingles; every
hole i'll the shingles was
made with q gimlet, and the nails
are clinched on the other side. The shingles
are all lined with three-inch plank; the
windows are one foot wide and three feet
high. The stairs leading from the first to
the second floor are cut out of a solid tree.
The doors are all seven inches thick. All
around the house runsa oak fence. Every
picket is fastened to a rail with a nut and
bolt, so that it is impossible to break one.
The picketS could only be taken off with a
saw. This fence was put up by the miser
five years ago, so that no one could intrude
IN his grounds. The house is 4 veritable
castle and nearly impregnable.
For five years Schank has declined to See
any of his relations or to permit any n to
enter. He lived on bread and potatoes.
Oneea year he killed a pig, and made that
last him for months. He did his own
cooking. \ loaf of bread sut1iced him a
week. He has four horses, of which he
was very fond, in the old barn. All the
mangets were made of iron. The miser
spent money in but one way. He had aper.
feet craze for old muskets and pistols. II
vas y curious sight that greeted Judge
Spader and the COnovers when they enter
ed the house. The dirt was an inch thick
all over the house. Schanck said n broom
had not been seen about the place for eight
years. The furniture was muSty and
mOtheaten. Judge Spader says there were
thirty-tOur muSEets and seven big army
pistols, altogether about 100 firearms OF
different kinds.
The miser was lying on his bed m~ortally
i'll. He said he had made q will, which
was to be opened after his death. He re-
marked: IF you will look around care
fully, gentlemen, You will find something
to surprise you" They then began a
search. An old musket barrel was found
filled with silver and gold coins worth
$500. A stocking full of ~greenbacks was
found in the garnet, and in an ancient bu-
reau drawer, along with a lot of old iron,
were 81, 900 in gold and silver, and in a
rickety washstand drawer was a pile of
notes, much soiled, tied with tarred rope.
They aggregated $1,000.
Before the search ended last night they
discovered $50, 900 Secreted in various parts
of the house. Two remained all night
withzth old man, and this morning. they
renewed the search. Great curiosity is eX-
pressed Us to the will. 1t is believed
Schanck drew it himself. Schanck's pets
We're squirrels. Four years ago he built a
house close to the homestead of iron.
which he devoted to the squirrels. Fur
acknowledgements Of wealth are expected.
and the affair causes great interest.
