Tli9 SMsbri.li rapidly niiproacliiiiK when
tho couuty will be literally bwartned with
candidates seeking tho favor of the people,
In order to sccuro voles in tho Democatio
nominating convention which usually meets
in August. Thcro is never any difficulty In
finding men, so far as numbers are concerned,
10 mi an oiiiccs ot nonor or trust, to t nidi a
(alary is attached. Thcro aro always plenty
who me willing to sacrifice themselves fur
their country's Rood, hut It Is not the volun
teers thcimcUes who bliall tay that they must
hold office ; it is tho people who select tho
public servants. This is a great and sacred
piivilcgo and ought not to bo abused as it too
frequently is. Kvery man in America is n
king, and yet there aro too many such kings
who aro nhjcctslavc, who know only to do the
will of their master. If that master bo a
tricky politician his slaves stand ready at all
times to do tho dirty work that ho himself
H ashamed to ftnoTi to.
It is a disgraceful fact that many men arc
placed hi office by tho votes of the people,
who are totally unfit and incompetent to hold
Mich positions. There are cries of corrup
tion, bribery and fraud from" all over tho m-
t ion, and yet tho very pcoplo who raiso the
i-ry aro the oacs to blamo for this situa
tion ofalT.iirs. Men may cry "reform," but
there is no reform until the people shall learn
In ciere!e the rights of freemen asfreemen.
Voters should bo thinking men. They
.hould voto as they think right, and not as
come one elso tells them, for then they become
mere machines, tools for tho politicians.
They should not voto for a man for any par
ticular oflijo beciuso ho asked first for their
support, but should wait until all tho candi
dates aro in tho field, and then select the lest
man in (ho crowd.
Nor should voters be influenced simply by
crsonal friendship, A man may be my dear
est friend, and yet not bo fit for a public of
fice. Voters should demand certain requi
sites of candidates for important offices. The
candidate should bo a man of good character,
he should be a good business man, ho should
possess ability, integrity, and abovo all, hon
esty. Ho should not bo a candidate for
the purpose of enriching himself or for any
selfish purpose, but becauso tho peoplo call
him to public life.
Tho voter ought to vote for the man who
will make tho bent officer, but the fixed rule
is now that tho tho voter casts his ballot for
the one from whom ho expects to obtain the
most benefit ; competency is left out of the
question.
Democrats of Colombia county, you have a
heavy responsibility resting on you this year.
You are to select from among nearly two
score the men who shall govern your affairs
for a few years tocomo. Wo urge you to vote
for no man for public office who is not com
petent to fill it. Vote for no" man who will
not do you credit. Make your selections care
fully, and when you have made up your
mind, voto right. With you the whole mat
ter rests. If you elect men as county officers
who aro unfitted for their work you are the
losers. Exercise tho rights of freemen and
put in nomination for tho several county offi
ces the best men who havo offered themselves,
and your duty will bo done.
Serious Popular Error.
It is surprising to find that so important
and respectable an official as the Warden of
tho Montgomery county jail at Norristown
could be influenced by the vulgar error that
a prisoner found hanging by tho neck in his
cell.and supposed to be dead, but who might
have been yet alive -could not be cut down
until the Coroner arrived. That is the state
ment in tue.report of the Wahlen suicide,
and the statement is the Warden's own ver
sion of what took place. When Whalen was
found hangiug,the Warden was about to cut
him down, but one of the under-keepers
called out that it was against the law to do
so, in the absence of the Coroner, and so the
Warden left tho body hanging. Possibly
Wahlen was already dead, but if he was not
this giving way to a very common but very
stupid eiror, prevented any attempt to re
store him, and so enabled him to carry out
his purpose of taking his own life, to escape
execution under sentence of the law.
Old world notions and errors are long
lived in this new country, as tbia instance
proves. There is nothing as matter of law
that requires the body of a dead person
found under such circumstances to be left in
the condition in which it is found until the
Coroner arrives. It is generally recommend
ed to do so, as a prudential consideration, iu
order that surrounding conditions and cir
cumstances may not be unnecessarily dis
turbed, which would,in many cases, obliter
ate indications bearing upon the time, place
cause or manner of death. But where there
is tcasoa to suppose that life is not wholly
extinct, every possible means should be used
promptly to revive it. There is no reason,
either in law or humanity, why a body found
suspended should not be immediately taken
down for the purpose of restoring animation,
If there is the slightest ground to believe
that life is not wholly extinct j and if the
body is manifestly dead, there is no law re
quiring that it should be allowed to remain
in that condition until the Coroner arrives,
for the cause of death in such a case is ob
vious, l be popular error above referred to
has not infrequent? led to a refusal or r.
luctance to apply restoratives, medical help
or otner assistance,wuen it should have been
aone instantly and on tne spot.
We copy the above not onlv for the ex
cellent sense contained In it, but because
mauyof our citizens labor under the same
error. 'Especially was It so in the Van
Liew murder, where the body laid for hours

Legislative Correspondence.
HABiiLsuuiia, March 12, 1878,
The two.most important measures of th
sessioii have stood in stulu ijuo tor the past
two weeks. These are the Philadelphia lie-
corder'sbill and the bill creating a State
Banking Department. After a safe but
stormy passage through the House the Ha
corder's bill seems destined, or at least
threatens, to grouud upon a reef in the Ben
ate. The Philadelphia Councils stand in its
way. By a resolution almost unanimously
adopted by the select and common councils
of Philadelphia tho Irglilaturo is urged not
to pass tills bill. A preamble, to this resolution
jeeitfs that this bill it a measure originated
evldeutly for the benefit of the person who
may bo appointed under its provision's, and
sticli other persons as may enrich themselves
from the patronage which this bill will con
fer, nnd that tho mensuro i; distasteful to
the pcoplo of Philadelphia in every Ttar.nnd
for which they havo not petitioned and do
not want for reason of tho obnoxious power
it bestows,and that the public press of Phil
adelphia havo echoed the voice of the people
In denouncing tho wholesale outrage that
tho act will inflict upon a deserving class of
people, merchant dealers and shop keepers,
by imposing in them inconveniences and
unwarranted taxes in the shape of fees.
)uat effect this resolution, which was
read before tho Senate, will have upon the.
bnal fate of the bill Is uncertain, but that it
will Injure it to some extent there is but lit
tle doubt.
The Bank bill has been knocked and cuff
ed around like an Ill-conditioned cur, and it
is becoming very manifest that if it does not
soon betako.ltsell to tho house with tbo little
vitality which still clings to It, it will stand
a very fair show of being starved to death.
It bas been standing upon the senate calen
lar of bills on final passage for a month or
more nnd each tiino that it comes to the sur
face of legislation it is struck with an amend
mcnt, and like a swimming apple bobs out
of sight for tho time being only to reappear
again in readiness for another attack.
A bill of general Interest now pending In
the house is the one prohibiting shows and
exhibitions on Sunday in all cases where a
fee is charged for admission. This measure
was originally started for the purpose of pre
venting the Zoological Gardens in Philadel
phia from opening on Sunday, but its intro
duction into the house was followed by pt
titlons from every hand asking its passage.
It has already met with one defeat, but the
vote by which it was defeated bas been rc
considered and it stands ready for another
brush with the Philadelphia "boys" who are
opposing its passage.
The Pittsburg riot commission has been
holding spasmodic sessions lately, trying to
draw out something more of those "state se
crets" from tho state civil and military
authorities Governor Hartranft.bis private
secretary C. X. Farr, Adjutant General Lat
in, Attorney General Lear, Senator Herr,
Major Muma, Mayor Patterson and Sheriff
Jennings have all been before the committee
but nothing new has been elicited from
any one of them.
Tbo "nine days task, the senate Investiga
tion of the accounting departments for 'al
leged irregularities in tho collection of state
tax from the Union It. It. and Trans. Co.
has quieted down for the present owing to
the adjournment of the committee. Mr. Ba
yard, corporation clerk in the Auditor Gen
eral's department, and ono of the parties
principally interested, bas given his testimo
ny, as also has Major John McMurray, war
rant clerk in the same department and the
person who first made disclosures upon
which the alleged irregularities are based.
Some very nasty facts, mostly of a personal
character, have been given In evidence, but
no direct issue has yet been joined. There
is some doubt as to when the committee will
again meet ; tho likelihood is not for a week
or more.
There are rumors afloat that the legisla
ture intends adjourning in April for a week
or ten days in order to allow members to at
tend to their business affairs at home. If
this shall be determined upon your readers
may look for the session to continue until
the roses of June are here.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEGAL AND
COMMERCIAL DOLLARS.
March 11, 1878.
Par money is what tho law declares to be a
legal tender for all debts, public and private,
A dollar is what the law declares to be the unit
of our decimal system of monoy or of Feder
al money. It is composed of 100 cents, 10
dimes or 1000 mills ; tho valuo of which is
arbitrarily established by law, by means of a
unit of value, composed of some commercial
qpmniodity, the demand for which constantly
exceeds tho supply, and the supply or increase
is more steady and regular than any other
commodity. As these two conditions aid in
rendering a unit of value steady and just.
There is no such thing as an absolute, steady
or unchangablc value or price in any commer
cial commodity whatever ; but grains of sil
ver come nearer to it than anything else- Two
things make grains of silver a better unit of
value than any other commodity. First bo-
cause silver has a vein, while grains of gold
has only a place amon? other metals or min
erals. Second, becauso of its lower specific
gravity than grains of gold, tho same amount
of commercial or legal value requires a larger
bulk of silver than of gold ; consequently
grains of silver can be cut or stamped, coined
into pieces of smaller value than grains of
gold, and as the mass of persons havo only a
small amount of money at any one time, sil
ver is a more popular metal than gold. Tho
supply of silver it more regular than the sup
ply of. gold, the latter being found only in
places and the demand for both being con
stantly in excess of tho supply makes the
commercial valuo of grains of silver, wherever
both metalt are used at money, more regular
or steady than grains of gold. Job in chap
ter 28, verse 1 says : "Surely, there is a vein
for the silver and a place for the gold, where
they find it. Tendering any commodity in
payment of debts by a fixed or nominal val
uo, instead of by weight or measure is a relio
of barbarism and a trick of usurpers and ty
rants and knaves of the 'dark ages.' The
mode established by Divino isddm of ten
dering grains of bilvcr and of gold was by
weight at their market values, As we have
not entirely freed ourselves from all the cus
toms established by European Usurpers and
tyrants of the dark ages,' it will take us somo
time yet in our struggle for reform on tbo
money question, to arrive at a clear under
standing of tho truth, as to law to make a
proper uutt of value, by which to calculate
our bond and other dollars, or our money of
accouut and contract ; and as that nuestion
does not properly enter into tho subject of de
monstration under the caption of this article,
it is proper to pass it by for the mesent.

371J grains of puro .'silver as the unit of
value, 'luo gold dollar of 24J grains of pure
or unalloyed gold 22 carats fine was mado an
equal legal tender for an unlimited amount,
Tho coinago act of 1792 fixed the ratio or
relatiyo difference in valuo between an ounco
of silvcf and an ounce of gold at IS to 1. In
1831, '39 Congress continued the 37H grains
of unalloyed silver as tho unitlof value, and
made a gold dollar of only 21.22-100 graius
of unalloyed gold, 21 3-5 caiats fine or 33 4 0
grains of alloyed gold cue-tenth alloy an
equal legal tender with the silver dollar of
-'71 grains of unalloyed or -112 grainsofal
loyed silver one-tcuth part alloy, for unliuv
ited amounts and made the ratio nearly 10 to
1. the commercial ratio in 1792 and and in
1831, '37, as about IS to 1. The ratio of
1792 undervalued , gold and drove it to for
eign market to get the cdnmercial difference
or premium whloh'was about 9 per cent and
tho ratio ofl834,; '57 undervalued silver nnd
drovoit to foreign i tnirkets to get tho com
morclal, difference or premium making theLwrtcd, rtducea life oxpenscs of that branch of
commercial value of the silver dollar of 412
grains of alloyed silver in 1873, at the rate of
10 to 1 to command premium nf 3 per cent
over tho gold dollar of 25 8-10 grains of al-
loyod gold. Congress In 1R73 changed tho
unit of valuo fro'u the silver dollar of 371
grains of unalloyed silver to tho gold dollar of
23 22-100 grains of unalloyed gold. As this
wfti designed to promote tho interest of Bond
h61ders and Bankers, it requires somo expla
nation, to see why Congress adopted a unit of
value, having thrco per cent less commercial
value than tho unit of valuo established in
1792 and existing In 1870 under which tho
bonds and all public and privato debts had
been contracted, and by which they are most
unquestionably payablo ; as no ex post facto
(uu',or law impairing the obligation of con1
tracts can bo m.i lo, by Congress or by the
tates.
In 18(12, Congress for tho firt timo made
the intercut ou Imnds payablo in ruin in.-tcad
of witli lawful money of the Federal Gov
eminent, as had been usual in nil of its legis
lation on that subject previous to that time i
and also mado custom lnue dufics payablo
in com only and not in coin and Treasury
notes, as required by the Independent Treas
ury Act ot IMOaiid 18 If, winch Congress
suspended in 1802. As no provision had
beon made for coirnug silver dollars since
1853, which then commanded n premium
over the gold dollar, tho only coin to pay
Custom House duties with, was gold coin,
and as the demand font for that purpose;,
ceeded the supply It was thus made to com'
mand a fluctuating premium, an I that was
what was designed ; as it increased the inter'
est on the bonds equal to tho premium ou tho
gold coins
uongrcas in 18,3, not only changed tho unit
of value, from 37 H grains of unalloyed silver
to 23 22-100 grains of unalloyed gold, with in
commerce from 3 to fl per cent less than tho
371 1 grains of pure silver; but prohibited
the coinago of the silver dollar of 412 grains
of alloyed silver, and then in a revsiion of
the acts of Congress in 1874 the silver dollars
and all fractional silver coin were prohibited
from being legal tenders for amounts over $6
and in 1870 all silver dollars were prohibited
from being money or legal tenders for even
one mill, or any amount whatever, by which
the design of increasing tho interest and prin
cipalofthc public debt duo to bondholders
and bankers was increased equal to the pre
mium on gold coin, caused by the dishonest
and designing acts of Congress ; and members
of Congress in tho interest of bondholders
and bankers have presumed to denounce the
act restoring the silver dollar to its legal ten
dcr power, as destructive of the honor of the
country, whilst it merely overthrew their do
signs, and will undoubtedly promote the pub
lic interest, and tho honor of the country ;
and the prohibition of Banks of Issues.
When U. S. Treasury notes popularly
called Greenbacks are made equal legal ten
ders with gold and silver coins, and thereby
made pure with them, as will be done, and
the bondholders and bankers begin to lose tho
premium on the gold dollar, for which they
have contended tho principal and interest of
their bonds are payable in they will very anx
iously accept of silver and Greenbacks in
payment in preference to bclBg tendered pay
ment in gold, at a ratio of nearly 10 to 1.
As the ratio of commerce is about 10
ounces of silver to 1 of gold, and the legal
ratio is nearly 10 to 1 tho gold dollar will not
command 100 cents or a dollar in commerce
and is therefore not what the gold coin "bu
siness" call an "honest" dollar, or a dollar
mat win command iw cents in commerce
and as 371 grains of pure silver in the dol
lar of 412 grains of alloyed silver is under
valued at the ratio of 10 to 1, it contains too
many grains or the gold dollar of 23.22 too
few grains, consequently tho gold dollar of
371 grama is worth more in commerce than
the gold dollar; but as both are equal legal
tenders, and tho value of all dollars are equal,
by-law to 25 8-10 grains of alloyed gold or
23.22 grains of unalloyed gold, 21 3-6 carats
fine or terf parts fine, one alloy, 9 parts pure
metal, it is with legal and not with commer
cial dollars, with which wo have to deal ;
tlicretore the cant about honest money is
all "humbug," and nonsense.
When all debts publio and private, con
traded under legal dollars, not worth 100
cents in commerce are paid off, it will bo cm
inently proper to make the unit of value or
all dollars worth 100 cents, in commerce, as
well as in law. Tho silver dollar of 412
grains having been restored to its legal-tender
quality, will enhance the value of silver
and soon place it at tho premium over
the gold dollar which it had in 1873 ; namely
4 to 5 per cent. Tho use of gold and silver as
money gives them their clue of value. If they
wero not used as money by the commercial
Kations of the World, they would not pay the
cost of mining and refining them. Experi
ence has shown that the main thing to be
considered in selecting a meterial for money
in the question of its convenience in uso or
handling. Money is not wealth nor is it a
representation of wealth, it is purely a repre
sentative of valuo "a tool of trade.'' The
length of this article prevents my discussion
at this timo, of the remaining subject in re
lation to money and trade.
WASUIN0T0N LETTER.
Washington, D. 0., March 12, 1878.
Iteally this civil service reform of Mr.
Hayes has gone far enough. If the Senato
docs not stop him ho will.make Grant's nepo
tism and favoritism respectable. His prom
ises on the subject in hi l letter of acceptance
and in his inaugural were excellent. His per
formance has bceu in ludicrous'contrast to his
proui'.tes. On Saturday your correspondent

out of a post office in Illinois to make place
for a "striker" of Mr. Hayes. She is the
widow of a soldier and bas discharged the
duties ot the office to the acceptance of cV'
cry body. Similar instances aro numberless.
I care nothing for discharges made to gratify
one set ot politicians in a Stato, if equally
good men are appointed. This seems to have
been the case in Massachuseett, whero Sim
mons, an excellent officer, was turned out to
make placo for another politician. It is a vio
lation of promises made by Hayes to be sure,
but probably the country will not suffer. The
caso of tho Postmaster at Leavenworth Kan
sas, is just in point. Tho term of the present
occupant will expire in April next. Sometime
since very serious charges were made against
him. Alio Post Office Department common'

tion was going on, and beforo tho truth or
falsity of tbo charges could be ascertained Mr,
Hayes renominated the man, stopped the iu
vcstigition, and tried, through Ingalls and
others, to have the nomination confirmed by
tho senate without referenco to a committee,
This being resisted, and the Senate having
sent for copies of tho chaiges, Mr. Hayes
withdrew the nomination. It will be noticed
this nomination was made a month in advance
of tho time when a vacancy would havo oc
currcd, aud unquestionably with tbo design of
preventing an investigation of charges of u
serious character, A very little of that kind
of reform would go great ways.

A SPEAKtNO rHONOQRAI'II AT TVOUK,
Sliowing How to Stereotype Your Vocal Utter
ranee. Mating a Plate from M'hich a Per
fect Reproduction of Your Speech can be
had when You are tn the Grave,
Were the, veracious Munchausen in attend
ance at an exhibition which was given lately
in tho Philadelphia Local Telegraph Com
pany's office, Third and Chestnut streets, of
Professor Thomas A. Edison's marvelous in
vention called the speaking phonograph, he
might have triumphantly said "I told you
so" with referenco to at least ono of his
yarns the story of his journey by post from
St. Petersburg during a winter of uncom
mon severity. "Finding myself in a narrow
lane," ho narrates, "I bade tbo postilion give
a signal with his horn that other travelers
might not meet us in the narrow passage. He
blew with all his might, but his endeavors
were in vain ; he could not make tho horn
sound, which was unaccountablo and rather
unfortunate, for soon we found another coach
coming the other way." After telling how
ho got the vehicle and horses around tho ob
structing team, by carrying them under his
arm one at a time, over the fence, through
part of the field, and then over tho fence
again, the conscientious traveler continues
'We arrived at the inn whero my f postilion
and I refreshed ourselves. He hung the
horn on a peg near the kitchen firo ; I eat on
the other side. Suddenly wo beard a tereng !
tereng I teng I teng ! We now looked
around and now found the reason the postil
ion had not been able to sound his horn ;
his tunes were frozen in it, and came out by
thawing, plain enough, and much to the
credit of the driver, so that tho honest fellow
entertained us for some time with a succes
sive variety of tunes without putting his
mouth to the horn."
Yesterday's exhibition, to say the least,
was equally as remarkable as the one de
scribed by Baron Munchausen. It demon
strated to the entire satisfaction of some of
Philadelphia's most intelligent citizens, who
were present by invitation of Mr. Henry H.
Bentley, president of the Local Telegraph
Company, that a person can, so to speak,
battle up any quanity of his vocal utterance,
and, at the end of an indefinite period of
tiraa, cause the "bottle" to reproduce it ex
actly as it originally came from his lips.
WHAT THE THING IS.
The instrument was operated sometimes
by Mr. Bentley, but principally by Mr.James
Adams, the inventor's representative. Mr.
Adams, a highly-intelligent Scotchman.witb
a strongly-marked Scotch accent in his
speech, has been for five years the assistant
of Professor Edison in the latter's electrical
and other experiments. The machine oc
cupied no more space than would a Webster's
Unabridged, and its construction appeared
almost as simple as that of a housewife's
coffee mill. It was a fac simile ot one which
Professor Edison is now constructing, and
which is to have a capacity of forty-eight
thousand words.
Mr. Adams, before the performance began.
thus explained the instrument : "In this
guttapercha mouthpiece is a very thin dia-
phragm.made of tin-type metal. The vibra
tions of the voice jar the diaphragm, which
has in iu centre, underneath, a fine steel
point. Arouad this brass cylinder, which,
you see, is closely and finely grooved by a
spiral, I wrap a sheet of tin foil. I shove
the mouthpiece up until the steel point
touches the tin foil, just above the first
gioove on the left. Turning the cylinder
with this crank I talk into the mouthpiece,
Tbo diaphragm vibrates, points perforate
the tin foil, leaving, little holes of different
diameters and resembling the oldMorse-tel
egrapnic alphabet, ibo cylinder moves
from left to right until the steel point has
gone over the entire length of the spiral.
Thus we have, as It were, a stereotype plate
of the voice, from this plate a matrix in
sulphur (the most desirable substance for
the purpose) can be formed, and years from
now there cau be taken from that matrix
other plates capable ofthatBamework which
you will presently Bee this ono perform.
COMINfl OUT OF THE "I10TTI.E."
"Now I turn the cylinder back to th
starling place, in order that the steel point
may go over the perforations which it made
when I talked into the mouthpiece. The
steel poiut, kept down by a rubber spring
underneath the diaphragm, trips from hole
to hole, causing the diaphragm to to vibrate
as it did when I was talking into the mouth
piece. Ibis causing a corresponding open'
Ing and closing of the valves of the dia,
phragui the words, intouatiou aud accent
are reproduced with perfect accuracy. It
would be Impossible for a human mlmio to
do it so well. The small end of ibis tin
funnel U fixed lu the mouthpiece to keep
tne reproduction from scattering. Now, list
en." Several gentlemen, evidently supposing
that they would not be able to hear without
having their ears close to the funnel, were
putting their beads near the instrument, but
Mr, Adams told them that such a proceed'
ing was unnecessary, as they could dlstln
gulsh the sounds well enough at a distance,
Mr. Adams, having wrapped a sheet of tin
foil around tho cylinder, spoke into tie
mouthpiece In a voice of ordinary pitch and
time, but with distinct articulation, mean
while slowly and regularly turning the crank,
tne louowing t
,'a.ck and Jill went up the hilt
' To get a bucket of water ;
,ack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Having reset tbo cylinder nnd fixed the
funnej iu tho mouthpiece he turned tho
crank and the diaphragm repeated the rhyme
not orly as distinctly as ho had uttered It,
but with so perfect n mimicry of the Scotch
accent as to cause a general outburst of
lauglter.lti which the genial operator hcartl
ly Jo tied,
THE TALKING MACHINE FUNNY.
Causing the steel point to proceed from
the ending of "Jack and Jill," Mr. Adams
again put his mouth to tho diaphragm and
uttered in more varying tones, which had a
range lrom almost a whisper up to n screech
Ing soprano, tho following :
Hallo I Hoop-la 1 Ya-hool
Nineteen years In the Bastlle I
I scratched my name upon tho wall
And that name was UobcrtLandr-yy-y.
Parlez vous Francals? Sprechcn sie
Deutsch 1
Turning tho crank backward until the
steel point touched the beginning of "Jack
and Gill, ho again gave tho forward motion
The diaphragm's elocution of tho rhyme was
on this occasion its good as before, and tho
'second conglomeration of utterance was de?
livered by the vibrating metal with all the
characteristics of the operator's ejaculations
and recitation, ror the sake of a novelty
tho steel point was now caused to go along
the perforated spiral while Mr. Adams
whistled, yelled and shouted all sorts of
ridiculous things into the mouth-piece. As
a result the bit of metal strongly affected the
risible muscles of tho audience by something
like this:
Jack and Jill went 'Cheese ill'
Up the hill
To get a bucket 'O, wipe off your chin 1'
Of water.
Jack fell down and 'Hello, young
Broko his crown
Feller, does your mother know your
out V
And Jill 'Ya-hoot I'vo bottled myself.
Edison "
Ciime tumbling after.
Hallo! hoopla ! 'Shut up 1' ya-hool
Go bag ynur'headr Nineteen years in
the lt:i-lilc!-
'I'm a' Scratched my name 'a jolly
Irishman,'
Upon the Mull,
And that 'From Dublin town I came,'-
Name was '11a, ha, tin !' Robert Landry
y-y.
Parlez vous Francals? 'Gn hire a ball 1'
Sjirechen sio Deutsch? 'O, give us i
rest !'
The effect of this was too ludicrous for
description, and for a time all hands were
uncontrollably merry. Having put on and
caused the steel point to perforate a new
sheet of tin foil, aain speaking 'Jack and
Jill' into the instrument, Mr. Adams made
the poiut travel backward and the diaphragm
reproduced the recitation, beginning with
tho last word, "after," and ending with the
first word, 'Jack.' In this way the operator
amused bis audience for an hour. He bo
came hoarse but, the instrument did not.
There is no electricity about the speaking
phonograph, and, like so many other great
inventions, its construction is so simple and
its operation so easily understood that a per
son seeing it would probably ask himself,
'Now, why didn't I think of that?' Timet.
A painful nuestion. "What shall it nrofit
a man if lie gains thu whole world and puts
it in a savings bank ?" The bet return vou
can net for your monev is to invest in a bot-
tlo of Dr. Coxo's Wild Cherry and Sencka or
santomno worm byrup. lib and SU cents.
The penetrating winds iBcldent to this season of
tho year are a severe ordeal lor the lungs. The neg
lect ot a hard eough 'generally leads to a weakness
ol tho lungs, which, not Infrequently, results In
Cousuraptlon.
Bciusck's rcLMo.no Strup will at once relievo
and loosen a tight cough and Is such an agreeable
remedy that children will tako It without being
coaxed. A cold on the lungs, It consumptron Is not
olieady developed, may bo easily mastered by tho
use ot tho Pulmonic Syrup, together with Pehenck'a
Mandrake 1111a to clear the sjstem ot the accumu
lated mucus.
Id more serious cases, where the dtseaso has be
come deeply seated, and tho patient sutlers lrom
loss ot appetite, weakness and emaciation,
Schenck's 8ea Weed Tonic should be used to con
nection with tho abovo mentioned remedies, to
stimulate the appetite and bring thejdlgestlve pow.
era Into healthy action, thereby sustaining tho
strength ot the patient and enabling htm to resist
tho progress ot the disease until the Ilumonlo Syr
up may perform Its healing and cleansing work.
The use of these standard remedies necoraUng to
the directions which accompany them, cannot fall
to produce most satisfactory results. A letter ad
dressed to Dr. Fchenck cor. Sixth and Arch SU.,
Philadelphia, asking advice, will promptly receive
the Doctor's personal attention, free or charge.
