fcation of the telephone promises to
be of material use in the education Of
those deaf mutes who possess frag-
ment OF hearing power, and it has the
following important advantages over
the single-speaking tube that is some
times used: Firstly, that the wires
from several receivers can be coupled
up to one transmitter, and thus teach
er can instruct group OF children at
the same time, and, secondly. that, as
it is not necessary for the teacher to
apply his mouth close TO the transmitter,
the pupils have full view of his facial
expression and lip movements, which
Is not the case when he has to direct
his attention and his voice into the
mouth of q speaking tube or trumpet.

Mr.. Hale, fogging was abolished, but

artillery on the skirmish line, and in
well-executed flank movements. In
1880 he was prompted by the presence
of pro-slavery mob in Washington to
introduce resolution providing for the
reimbursement OF persons whose prop
erty should be destroyed by riotous as

protect "negro-stealing." Addressing

When Halo took his seat in the senate,
he was the Ssnly member Of that body
who defied the discipline of both the old
parties, and dared assert his absolute
political independence. He stood alone
until 1s4s, when he was joined by Chase
and Seward, who were reinforced in
1851 by Sumner. There was something
dramatic in his solitary appearance in
the senate as an avowed anti-slavery
man. That body then contained more
able and eminent men than IL had had
for more than a generation. and II was
completely under the domination of the
slaveN interest. That interest dictated
the policy OF the government at home
and abroad, as it had done from its be-
ginning, and made and unmade poll
ticians. Hale knew that his single
handed warfare against it would invite
ridicule, sneers, insults ard threats
