that they will elect all their can
didatcs for the Legislature except
Mike CorCoran, the Irish candidate
for Senator. They also COnCedc tho re-

have such assurances from prominent
Germans as lead them to claim the de-
feat Of every Republican candidate for

The States Attorney spoke of the adOp-

executive board. The membership did
not know who constituted the triangle,
SO secret was 1t, nevertheless they obey.

special missions in England in the way
OF active work and under assumed names.
Notwithstanding this secrecy these
men were betrayed by the board TO the
English authorities and twenty Of them,
he said, are now in prison. This was, he
declared, to enable the board to steal the
funds aud when at last a showing was
made, the board claimed that the order
owed them $4,000, when there was
$3.50, 900 in the treasury when they took
charge,

The Christian, if called in.the p1ovi-
dence of God, should cheerfully ex-
pose his life to danger of death by fire
or water or wind or the malice of men,
in order to save human life from
death; but the right to Intentionally
destroy human life will have to be
found away from the example and
teachings of his Master, Jesus Christ.

The Harmonigraph.

An invention halls from New Orleans
for which very remarkable powers are
claimed. This device embodies mechan-
ism by means of which music, rs it is
played on the piano or similar instru-
ment, may be indicated on paper so
that it may be reproduced rs desired,
thus enabling one improvising music to
have the music written as it is played in
such manner that it may be read and
Translated into the characters ordinarily
employed in writingmusic. The inven-
ton is said to consist in the combina-
ton in the harmonigraph of the mark
ers and connecting rods arranged for
engagement by the keys of the piono or
other similar instrument, and by which
the movement on the key may be trans.
mitted to the marker. In the combina.
ton is also embodied tone marker and
measure marker. Some of the finest
ideas of the impromptu player on the
