In war and literature Solomon Newell, well known as writer as 'Sol," has won an honorable position. Dur ing the late war he was a member of Co. NJ, 2d. \. Y. Cavalry and of the 18th Indiana In- fantry Volunteers Regarding an important circumstance he writes as follows:
 several of us old veterans here are using Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure and Nerve and Liver Pills. all of them giving splendid satisfaction. In fact, we have never used remedies that compare with them. Of the Pills We must say they are the best com binatiOn of the qualities required in a prep aration of their nature we have ever known.

A Pleasant and Largely Attended
 Affair at the Opera House.

That the thirty musicians of Wednes- day night at the opera house were boys would never have been guessed by a blind man. And a deaf man would have gotten entertainment out of the oc- casion by the neat, alert appearance of these same boys.
 The band played excellently. Their training has been rigid and long, and they were no disappointments. The pro- gram was as follows:

 The attendance was the biggest of the season.
 The affair was considerable of crush, but every body was in high spirits, and that the limit of comfort in numbers was almost reached was not needed.
 That it was a we'll dressed crowd let no one doubt. Some of the dresses worn were superb. Rich dresses were the order of the evening. The sight of the ladies there was lovely one. Mingled with the attendance were nu- merous blue coats and brass buttons. Indeed next to the features of large fashionable attendance it was military beyond everything. Swords were cross ed on the walls, stacks of arms were about, the red, white and blue was every where, and then the militi8men were there in uniforms of blue and buttons of brass. brave in sppearenoe andIadmired of the ladies.

but not in the higher-priced articles
as they have not proven successful, the

ing with the chemical operations of the
little instruments.
To make a little watch talk has I'M
doubtedly been beyond the most SAN
guine expectations of inventors. The
autOphOnic construction of NJ. Swan is
really nothing more than the Edison
photograph on a small scale. The sci
entitic public is too well acquainted
with this instrument of our popular in
ventOr to need a further description.
There is this difference in NJ. Swans
application of it, that instead of the
tin leaves of the large monograph
small caoutchouc plates are used as
photographic reproducers. 1t was
found that the gotfering of the tin
leaves became rapidly confused after a.
few reproductions.
Our illustration represents the watch
with it's little plaque of caoutchouc,
crossed by forty-eight grooves, each
capable of announcing a quarter of an.
hour. Thus far the autophonic watch
speaks the time only in French and
German, but soon, no doubt, an expert
linguist will be engaged to charge the
watches with distinctly pronounced
phrases in all the modern languages.

The Sauire's Costly Sandwich.

1t is told of certain southern squire
that, on certain festive occasion, he,
together with a party of gentlemen,
began discussing their capacities for
eating. After heated discussion, the
squire wagered that he could eat more
than any other guest present, they to
be the judges. The bet was taken, and
all hands ate until they could eat no
more, the squire apparently not be-
ing ahead in the astronomical process.
Are you all done?" inquired the
squire. The rest admitted that they
were, and claimed the squire had not
fulfilled his promise. The squire pulled
out his capacious pocketbook, took
therefrom a 500 note and, placing the
bill between two thin slices of buttered
bread, devoured the costly sandwich

EngIand's Submarine Cable Lines.

The war in Corea has just brought
out prominently the control which
England has over the submarine cable
system of the world. English COM
panies own lines having a length
of more than 100000 miles, which cost
over e3O, 1000, 900 and produce revenue
of more than 94,OOO,OOO. The govern
ment has done everything in its power
to facilitate the laying of these cables
by subvention and patronage, and the
preliminary surveys have been nearly
all made by the naval authorities.
In return the companies are obliged to
give priority to the dispatches of the.
imperial and colonial governments over
all others, to employ no foreigners and
to allow no wire to be under the con-
troll of foreign governments, and, in
case of war, to replace their servants
by government officials when required.
