art by which, through the sympathy OF a
magnetic needle, it would be possible to
converse across n space of two or three
thousand miles.
Old Polyblus, a Greek historian, who
wrote more than 200 years before the
first Christmas, describes q most iDgenius
water telegraph invented by one Aenens.
Both the receiver and sender were fur
nished with jar of the same capacity,
and provided with cocks by which the
water could be drawn of at the same
rate.
In these jars were floats carrying up
right rods, graduated somewhat like
thermometers; only instead of degrees
of heat the different cross-lines indicated
different messages. When a dispatch
was to be sent the sender signGled that
he was ready by waving a flag, or IN
some simple way. Both jars were then
filled with water and the floats set in
them. At second signal both operators
opened the stop-cocks, and as the water
run out the graduated rods descended.
when the index had reached the de-
aired message a signal was given to stop
the flow of water. A pointer then
showed which words were TO be read
and the thing was done. The plan is
simple, iugenius and entirely practical
BILE. A bright boy can rig up one OF
these water telegraphs in half an hour
and use it as far as be can see any signal.

BOSS QUAY OPPOSES 1T.
Prominent Southern Business Men Flood Him
With Letters Denounclng the Lodge
Force Bill.
srecinl 10 the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Senator Quay
is opposed to the Federal election bill.
He Is in receipt of numerous letters every
day from prominent Southern business
men and others, who say that the passage
of force bill will be the means
of diverging the South from
the North which twenty-five years of
peace have succeeded in cementing. The
letters appeal to the sober sentiment of
Northern influential men to resist the
passage of such bill. The probability
is that no Federal election bill will be
passed by the seLate and many go SO fur
as to say it will not even be reported.
Mr.. c. L. Shumate of Dallas is here.
He says: 1.-The outlook for prosperous
times was never so bright in Texas rs to-
day. The cotton crop promises to
be the largest on record. In
fact we are now said to be enjoying
an era of unprecedented prosperity.
The head of the firm of Sanger Bros. :,
Mr.. Phillip Sa ger, served in the Con-
federate army, and after the war went
to Texas with less than 500. He started
business In small way and in
1870 employed eight clerks. Now
there are nearly 500 and the business is
conducted in u big fve-story house that
occupies almost an entir block. Dallas
is beyond doubt the best town in the
state. She has, including the suburb of
Oak Cliff. So 600 people, and has doubled
her population every four years for the
last decade.

HABITS OF MoCKING-BIRDs.

BY Maurice Thompson-Author of "By-
ways and Bird Notes." Etc.
The hooking bird is eminently South
ern in its habits, although it lives in
summer as far north as the New Eng
land states aud sometimes nest high in
the upper valley of the Mississippi. In the
South is the place to observe its habits
and to see it in its true habitat. The
earliest American ornithologists were
captivated by its song and by its striking
originality of behavior. Explorers sent
many fancifuI report of lis song pow
ers to men of science in Europe. Buff
fon, the great French naturalist, wrote

sunset was joined by an eighteen-gun
brig, and came to anchor little to the
westward of this harbor. Alarm guns
were fired last night, and the militia are
coming to defend us IN case they should
attempt an attack.
This resort to "alarm-guns TO sum-

OF the semaphoric telegraph 1t depends
upon light. To be sure, at night lights
were hung upon the arms, but In case OF
fog they were useless.
Even in the daytime the signals were
often interrupted by unpropitious
weather, and ii was one of the rules OF
the 'ofIice'' TO crowd the meaning into
the front of message as far as possible.
AS an illustration of the dangers OF
neglectIng this rule 1t is related that the
English were once thrown into great and
needless CONSERVATION by receiving this
dispatch: "WellinEton defeated. It

tribute ever paid TO our matchless song
sier.
Like the skylark, this bird often sings
while flying, and there is nothing more
singularly striking TO the eye and the ear
than the shimmerng bird and the float
ing song seen and heard in the luyuriant
woods of the Tar South. A rare habit is
its dropping song, rich aud varied
medley OF tender and delicate strains
uttered while the bird slowly falls TO the
Ground from a tree or bush. Begin
ming on the highest bough of an orange
tree. for instance, the song increases as
the singer slowly tumbles down through
the foliage, its wings quivering and
family palptatiug, as If in an ecstacy OF
mrs,cal rapture. Most usually the song
lasts until the bird falls to the lower
branches of the tree, but on very rare
occasions il is prolonged till, with out
snread and slowly collapsing wings, it
lies on the ground IN an appareully eA-
hausted condition.

A writer in Chambers Journal for
1871, page l6l, begins an interesting
review of telegraphy by recouuting at
some length still more ancient signals.
He reminds us that Homer makes crafty
Simon signal by fire to the Greek fleet
when II should return from Tenedos; he
recalls that glowing passage in the
AEamemuOn of Hsuhylus where Clyten-
nesIra describes how the long-look ed for
capture of Troy was made known at My
cenG. "FrOm point to point the glare
of the beacon fame spr ad its news;

aud Messapium; from the dun heights of
Cith9ron to Egipiuuclus, which passes

gulf to Arachn9us, hill in the hero's
home territory, and the weary sentries

their foe and wait their liege lord 8
speedy return
How wildly this passage recalls
Scott wonderful picture of the sum-
moning of the Scottish clans:
For a sheet of fame from the turret high

All taring and uneven:
And soon score of fires, ] ween,
From height and hill and cliff were seen;
Each with warlike tidings fraught;
Each from each the signal caught;
Each after each they glanced to sight
AS stars arise upon the night
There is something strangely thrilling
In these silent signals of fire. Their
sudden flash seems TO kindie the spirit of
war. Far back in the remoteness of
Jewish history Jeremiah warns the Ben
jamites to "set up sign of fire in Beth
haccerem; for evil appeareth out of the
north and great destruction. F." At the

Signals by flashing light have also been
used in the daytime.

Monday afternoon. Deceased has been

one of his hands out to look for him. He
was about three miles from the house
lying partially under his horse, which
was also dead. His father, who lives in
Denison, was notified but could not get
here last night. His sister arrived from
Palestine this morning just as the funeral
was taking place. The hat which de-
