The beating OF Hayward Is described In

seems, had been imprisoned for dedicating

him. The old jade struck

Few people away from Washington
are aware Of the fact that every word
uttered upon the floor OF either House
or Senate. when addressed Go either
Speaker or President. is taken down
and appears in the Congressional Record.
IL - true that much time. money. pa
per, and printers ink are wasted by
this, but nevertheless il is fact. But
70 do this, Of course, requires the cm-
ployment OF the most rapid and cx-
perienrcd stenographcrs. Five Of
these are employed upon the floor Of
the House simply 10 take down the
speeches, debates, etc. The chief of
the corps receives n salary of $4,000.
while the other four are paid 81 900
less. These men simply take down the
words in shorthand, working for fifteen
minutes each in succession. When
each ones fifteen minutes expire he re-
pairs 10 the official reporters room,
where ten more stenographers are en-
ployed~-two TO each man-~to whom
are read the reports taken on the floor,
and who take copy in shorthand,
using typewriter TO prepare the copy
for the printer These men paid by
space, getting 81 per column in tho
Record. The same is also gone through
with in the Senate daily.
The stenographcrs have i'm the last
few days secured n machine TO facili-
tate work which has already proven Of
inestimabe value. lt is one OF Edi-
sons inventions. and is called the
graphaphone. The machine much re-
sembles lady's sewing machine and
Is worked in the same manner-by
pedal. The instrument is used in this
wise: When one OF the principal
stenographers concludes his floor re-
port he goes To this machine, reads his
report into n funnel connecting with
the main cylinder, which is gutta-per-
cha coated and rcvolves while the point
of needle connecting with the tube
from the funnel mouthpiece rests
against it.. The cylinder envclops a
screw which prevents the needle trac-
ing a former line. When the steno-
graphcr finishes reading his report an
other operator attaches tubes To the
cylinder, connecting with his ears,
works the machine. and the words of
the stenographer are repeated to him
in the same tone OF voice rs the pre-
yious talker. The rapidity of the talk
can be regulated, and the operator can
thus with ease take down the exact
words by the use of a typewriter or an
ordinary pen. The machine is certain
" wonderful and enablcsa person with
the assistance Of typewriter TO do the
work Of two ordinary stenographers,
who first have 60 take the report in
shorthand and then translate IL.
These gutta-percha cylinders. neg
lccted 10 mention above. can be stored
away, and years after, If placed upon
the machine, the same words used to-
day will be repeated in the exact tone
of the speaker Of to-day. Thus should
any record be destroyed these cylin-
ders may be resorted TO.
Another thing about this machine is
that a person here can talk for an
hour into one, mail the cylinder TO At
lanta. where by the use OF "A machine
the exact words used here will be re-
peated, thus saving the labor Of writ
ing long communications. Atlanta

by a substantial downturn on undesirable

were plenty of good cattle, the demand was
sufficiently strong to keep prices about where
they have been for day or two past. Good
cattle were no lower and fancy grades, such
as suited the export and New York retail
trade, sold at strong prices. Butchers stock
steady. Canning stock is coming in too

show up with plenty of hogs, and buyers
filled in with high-priced stock, the demand
fell off. The general market closed 5@010c
