A Primitive Telephone Line.

A correspondent at Lake Megantic
sends the particulars of a telephone
line that has at least the advantage of
simplicity and freedom from paying
tribute to a telephone company. The
correspondent says;
in Moose River, Me-, they have a
telephone working between the New
ton house and a store about half a mile
distant. The recei er and transmitter
are all one. They have a hole cut in
the wall and within have placed a
small frame covered with sheepskin.
To this the wire is attached. The wire
is suspended with tarred rope. Any

woman's secIusion In India.

had not been long in India when a
native lady who owned large estates
sent to beg my husband TO pay her q
visit, as she was anxious that he
should take charge of her property,
which was much embarrassed, and
wished to discuss the matter with him.
We dismounted from our elephants in
the court yard of her house, and were
conducted by a magnificent major
,domo and a crowd of smaller satel-
lites to a carpeted veranda, where
chairs were placed ready for us The
steward then approached, holding in
the palms of his joined hands some
gold coins, which we touched instead
of royalty taking, as was the generous
custom in less prudish days. But no
lady was to be seen, and l was amazed
and wen startled to hear my husband,
still looking strai~h before him, be-
gin speaking as if he saw some one.
1t gave me quite q shock, but as he
showed no other sign of sudden in
sanity, l looked around for some eX-
PLANTATION, and then discovered that
our chairs were placed near a kind of
screen called a chik, made of thin
strips of bamboo, which completely
prevents any one from outside seeing
In, although a person within the room
can see out, and behind this shelter
ing mantle of invisibility sat the lady
and her women. The conversation
was long, and almost wholly unintcl-
Ggible to me, but l gathered that my
husband, having reason to be dis
pleased with the lady's conduct, de-
clined to accept her hospitality in any
way, which, judging from certain elo-
quent sounds that issued from behind
the screen, drew from her tears and
lamentation.-Cornllill Magazine.

The whistle of the elk is a sound
which many have tried to describe,
yet l doubt if any one who may have
read all the descriptions of it ever
written would recognize it on a first
hearing. 1t is a most strange, weird,
peculiar sound, battling all efforts CT
the most skillful word painter. 1t is
only uttered by the male, and there is
the same variety in the sound made by
different stays as in different human
voices. Usually the cry begins and
ends with a sort of grunt, somewhat
like the below of a domestic
COW cut short, but the inter
lude is a long drawn, melodious,
flute like sound that rises and
falls with a rhythmical cadence, float
ing on the still evening air, by which
it is often waited with singular dis
t%inctness to great distances. By other
individuals, or even by the same indi-
vidual at various times, either the first
or last of these abrupt sounds is
omitted, and only the other, in CON
nection with the dong drawn, silver
toned strain, is given.
The stag utters this call only in the
love making season, and for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the whereabouts
of his dusky mate, who responds by a
short and utterly unmusical sound,
similar to that with which the male
begins or ends his call-G. o. Shields

The theory that Governor Church will

more potent than the conviction that he
should resign, conviction which Gov

will remain governor until his successor
claims his seat. Il will be best for the

with shat bsllef in view. The most i'm
portant duty OF the governor during a
legislative session is the appointment of
territorial officials for the ensuing two
years, his nominations being sent to the
council and confirmed by that body 1t
is worth his while for Governor Church
TO hold his place to the last that be- mey

tion. The democrats claim ]59 members
sure without counting any from that
state. and Representative Wilson. who
returned to Washington Friday morning,
said to Star Reporter: 1--WE have the
governor, the Legislature and three
members of the house from West Var
ginit, end, perhaps four" MIR. Wilson
expressed the oplnlun that the republi-
cans would have control OF the house,
but did not think they would have g
majority large enough to be OF any ed-
vantage to them. Ii the democrats get
three members from West Virginia. as
Mr.. Wilson claims. they will have 1872
votes, or one less than majority of the
house. They depend upon getting the
names of three or four democrats on the
list OF members by taeir count OF the
districts mentioned ID the dispatches
Thursday, but ia their scheme they a.
sumo the election of Thompson. demo-
orat, in the doubtful first district of Cali
fornia; Fischer, democrat, in the tenth
Michigan, and Seymour, democrat, IN
the fourth Connecticut. There is no
positive Information that either of these
gentlemen are elected, and the latest re-
turns from Connecticut gives Miles, the
republican candidate in the fourth
district, majority of twenty-five. a
recount will be demanded, and an at-
tempt will be made to get enough votes
there to elect seymour. The fourth New
Jersey district, which is claimed by the
democrats, is also very close. Mr., Fowler
the democratic candidate, claiming it by
forty-two melority, and Mr.. VOORHEES,
the republican candidate, insisting thai
it is his by twenty-four votes. An oficia
count will be required to determine the
result. Chairman Quay said Friday tha
the republicans would have the house By
six majority. When asked the reason
for his faith, he said it was based OF
private information and confidence
that the democrats in their attempt Il
secure recount in the several close dis
trioss, would not succeed IN accomplish
ing any fraud.

that aome unknown workman did it.
That branch of the business had been
attended to by the ooroner's jury. Yet
the committee transformed itself into a
whitewashing body, went entirely out
side OF its instructions, gave no expert
information OF value. but devoted itself
to the defence of men whom the coroner g
jury says were oulpsbly negligent. They
departed from the role OF architects and
assumed the role of detectives. As the
