rather unfortunate, for soon after we

tbe vehicle and horses around the
obstructing team, by carrying them
under his arm, one at a time, over
tbe fence, through part of the field,
and then over the fence again, tbe
conscientious chronicler continues:
"We arrived at the inn, where my

bis tunes were froren in it, and came
out by thawing, plain enough, and
much to the credit of the driver, so

Yesterday's exhibition, to say tbe

iiie one. deecribe'd by Baron Mun

tire satisfaction of some of Philadel
phia's most intelligent citizens who
were present by invitation of i'r.
Henry II. Ueutfey, president of tbe
Local Telegraph Company, that a

any quantity of his vocal utter

period of time caue tbe "bottle" to

VII AT TI1K T!IISi If.
The instrument was operated
sometimes by Mr. P.ently, but prin
cipally by Mr. Adams, a highly in
telligent ScoicLiua'-, will a strongly
murked Scotch accent in Lis speech,
w ho has been for years the assistant
of Prof. EdioJO in "tbe latter's elec
trical and other experiments. Tbe
machine occupied no more space than
would a Webster's Unabridged, and
its construction appear almost as
simple as that of a housewife's coffee
mill. It is a fac simile of tbe one
w hich Professor Edison is now con
etruciing, and which is to have a ca.
paciiy of forty -eight thousand words
Mr. Adams, before tbe entertain. I
mcnt began, thus explained the in
strument: ''In this guttapercha
mouthpiece is a very thin diapragm,
made of tin-type metal. The vibra
tions of the oiee jar tbe diaphragm,1
w hich has in its centre, underneath,
a fine steel point. Around this brass
cylinder, which you see, is closely
and finely grooved by a spiral, I
m rap a sheet of tin foil. I shove the
mouthpiece up until tbe steel point
touches the tin foil, just above the
first groove on the left. Turning the
cylinder with this crank I talk into
the mouthpiece. Tbe diaphragm vi
brates, causing the steel point to per
forate the tin foil, leaving little holes
of different diameters and resem
bling tbe old Morse telegraphic al
phabet. The cylinder moves from,
ieft to right until tbe steel point has
gone over the entire length of the
spiral. Thus we have, as it were, a
stereotype plate of the vcice. From
this plate a matrix in Eulpbur (the
most desirable substance for tbe pur
pose) can performed, and years
from now there -an be taken trom
that matrix other plates capablo of
tie same work which you will pres
ently see this one perlortn.
OMIS OVT or THE "BOTTLE."
"Now I turn the cylinder back to
tbe starting place, in order that the
.teeJ point may go over the perfora
tions which it made when I talked
into the mouthpiece. Tbe steel point,
kept dow n ly a rubber spring under
neath tbe diaphragm, trips from Lole
to hole, causing the diaphragm to vi
brate as it did when i was talking
into the mouthpiece. This causing a
corresponding opening and closing of
the valves ol tbe diaphragm tbe
words, intonation and accent are re
produced with perfect accuracy. It
would be impossible f"r any human
mimic to do it so well. The small
end of this tin funnel is fixed in tbe
mouthpiece to keep tbe reproduction
from scattering. Now listen."
Several gentlemen, 1 evidently
supposing that they would not be
able to hear without having their
ears close to the tunnel, were putting
their heads near tbe innata.ut, but
Mr. Adams told them that such a
proceeding was unnecessary, as they
could distinguish the sounds well
enough at a distance.
Mr. Adams having wrapped a
heet of tin foil around tbe cylinder,
tpoke into the mouthpiece in a voice
ot ordinary pitch and lime, but with
distinct articulation, meanwhile slow
ly and regularly turning the crank,
tbe following:
-lack and Jill went np the hill
To letch a backrt o water ; I
J ark k ll down and Iwuke kin or.io
A ml Jill aui tumbling after.
Hatiag reset the cylinder, and
Cxad tbe funnel in the mouthpiece he
turned tbe crank, and tbe diaphragm
repeated the rhyme, not only as dis
tinctly as be spoke it, but with so
perfect a mimicry of the Scotch ac
cent as to cause a general outburst
cf laughter, in which the genial ope
rator heartily joined.
THE TALKIXU NAOIMSE It
Causing the steel point to proceed
from the end of "Jack and Jill," Mr.
Adams again put bis mouth to the
diaphragm and uttered in more vary
ing tones, which had a range from
almost a whisper up to a screaming
soprano, the following-.

Turning tbe rank backward until
tbe steel point touched the beginning
oC "Jack and Jill" he agaia gare tbe
forward motion. Tbe diaphragm's
elocutioa as good as before, and tbe
second conglomeration of utterances
was delivered by tbe vibrating metal
ita all tbe characteristics of tbe ope
rator's ejaculations and recitation.
I 'or the sake of novelty tbe steel
point was now caused to go along
the perforated spiral while Mr. Ad
ams whistled, yelled and shouted all
sorts of ridiculous things into tbe
mouthpiece. As a result tbe bit of
metal strongly affected the risible

An article on Thibet (ncrth of eon, and recommended bim for the
China) in the CorcLill Magazine j place, vouching for him as a first
ti,..a .MuHpb to nolvandrr. a sinjrii- class operator. 0. F. Milliken, the
lar habit lone known to exist in tbis I
country:
A noticeable feature ij the Lation
al life is tbe immense number of mon
asteries and nunneries which are to
be found scattered over the country.
In tbe neighborhood of Lhasa couuty
there are eleven monasteries, in
which are cloistered upwards of 20,
000 monks, and tbe nunneries are
found in like proportion. The wo
men bare an excuse for cnteriog re
ligious orders which are denied to
men, for there exists in Thibet one of
those extraordinary niurriage cus
toms which are occasionally met
with in out of the way parts of the
world, and w hich are to be explained
only by reference to the surrounding
circLmstances of the people. A nu
merous progeny, in a poor and ste
rile countv, is doubtless ft distinct
evil, and is one which naturally mg
gests the imposition of a check even
to thote who never heard of Malihus
or his doctrines. This wc may sup
pose to have been the position of the
Thibetans when they cast about fr
some plan by w hich tiiey aiighj. limit
tbe increase of the p pulati;n. The
plan adopted for this pnrpa.-e is al
most unique, and is called polyandry,
which mar be explained as being the
exact reverse of polygamy: for, as in
most Eastern countries, it is lawful
for a man to have a plurality of
wives, in Thibet it is the custom for
a woman to have a plurality of hus
bands. The usual practice is for
two, three, or four brothers in a
household to marry one wife. They
all reside in one house, and the chil
dren are considered to be tbe joint
offspring of ell. It is inconceivable
to us that such a system should ex
ist for an hour: but in Thibet, far
frem giving rise to the evils which
might be expected to flow from it, it
works easily and well, and tbe pict
ures which travelers give us cf
Thibean households display a de
gree of happiness and affection which
certainly equals that enjoyed in much
jiore favored lauds. This is a de
scription Mr. Bogle gives us of a
family at wboRO bouse he Fpent tbe
night. The house belongs to two
brothers, who are married to a very
handsome wife, and have three of
the prettiest children I ever saw.
Tbey all came to drink tea and eat
sugar-candy. Alter night came on
tbe whole family afsembled in &
room to dance to their own singing,
and spent two hours in tbis manner
with abundance of mirth and glee.
Braatlfol Vatlniral
The beatiful extract below is from
the pen of (Jeorr,e S. llillard :
"I confess that increasing yenrs
bring with them an increasing re
spect for men who do not succeed in
life, as those are commonly used.
Heaven is said to be a place for
those who hare not succeeded upon
earth; and it is surety true, celestial
graces do not best thrive aud bloom
in tbe hot blaze of worldly prosperi
ty. Ill success sometimes arises
from a superabundance of qualities ia
themselves good from a conscience
too sensitire, a taste too fastidious, a
self-forgetfulncss too romantic, a mod
es'y too retiring. I wijl not go so
far as to say, w ith a living j.oet 'that
tbe world knows nothing of Its great
est men,' but there are forms of great
ness, or at least excellence, which
'die and make no sign ;' there are
martyrs that miss tbe palm but not
the stake ; heroes without the laurel,
and conquerors without tbe tri
umph." tin a rnrloniib
Not bad. The Carthage UrpuhU
can tells this :
"Colouel ueoree . Mower was
standing in the square at Water
town, tbe other day, when be spied
a tarmer woo baa sold bira some
very 'crooked' hay, some weeks ago.
Tbe party in question is an active
professor of religion, and a most zeal,
oua worker for his own pocket. The
man's profession and practice being
in such nitrked contrast, caused the
CoIodcI to eye him with dislike.
When he came up the Colonel charg
ed him with deception in the matter
of hay. The 'skinflint' stoutly de
nied the charge. Tbe Colonel drew
himself up to his full height, and dis
dainfully observed : 'I am a soldier,
sir not a liar !' 'So am I a soldier,'
whined the promoter of 'crooked'
hay. 'Vou?' ejaculated the Colonel,
in a toae of disgust, 'what kind of a
soldier are you?' 'I'm a soldier ot
the Cross,' said the 'skinflint', with a
detestable flourish of the hand. 'That
may be,' said tbe Colonel, dryly,
but you're been on a furfough evi-r
6ince I knew too.' "

to the little
town in Michigan, asking Tom if he
would come on and accept tbe posi
tion. Toiu answered yes, and with
out further words started for Boston,
via the Michigan Central and Grand
truck railroads. In running
through Canada be got snowed
uuder, and was kept on the track in
one place for twenty-four hours, cold
aud hungry without a bed. As usu
al, he owned but one suit of clothes,
and tbat was on his back. Unfortu
nately, it was a summer suit.
He might Lave frozen to death had
he not bought an old rough rounda
bout overcoat from a Canuck rail
road laborer. But be filially got
throLgh all right.
"I was in tbo Boston cilice when
he arrived, aud I must say," cociin
ued Mr. Stewart, bringing his fit
down upon tbe table, ' be was the
worst looking specimen cf humauity
I ever saw. The modern telegraph
tramp isn't a marker. He wore a
pair of jean breeches six inches too
short for him, and a pair of very Ijw

broad brimmed butternut bat, a rel
ic of his l.fe in IJemphis. This wide

called a mustache. His hair hadn't

tra twist, and with all tbe assurances
in the world b.urted out, 'All right,
boss, I'll be here at half past 5. He
sloped so quick tbat it made Milliken's
head swim.
"The operators burst into a peal cf
laughter. They had seen and heard
ercrything, and their remarks were
anything but complimentary to Tom.
'On,' said one of them, 'he won't
last as long as that Jersey man; that
Jersey man tbat tackled the wire the
other day.' 'Why, tbat fellow can't
read by paper, let alone by sound,'
shouted another. A third declared
tbat Tom was 'tbe worst he ever

'whether the walking between Mich

there was a general roar.
"Well," continued Stewart, "half

body was on the qui-vive. Milliken
was taking from tbe vault tbe sup
ply of bUnks for the night operators.
As Tom came up be poiuied to a pile

you want and I will show you your

tbe whole bundle, and followed Mil

nlowintr will do, and it will do with
letter the crops will be. I have
crops
trood crops of corn with late fall
plowing, and, in spring, just spread
the harrow in the manure. This I
do, say from the middle ot May to
June 1. Tbe ground is warm and
dry, and the soil retains the open
and light condition the winter frosts
bequeath better than plows can do.
Many farmers think the manure lust
by evaporation unless it is pretty
well buried, but, if too deep, nothing
but a miracle will raise it. It will
be found that quite strawy manure
will work well on dry ground, ep-
plied on tbe surface. It is well to
plow jaat as you plant, if this is done
jn the spring; if green sod, let the
grass eet a good start; if stubble, the
weeds turned under
will make ma
nure.
There is no method or medicine
no food or treatment that will ar
rest the wool from falling from tbe
sheep when occe it has begun, fur tbe
reason tbat tbe injury is done to tbe
fibre of tbe wool long before it be
gins to fall out. Tbe wool, by some
sickness or ditease, or mahreatmeut
in feed has been arrested in its con
tinuous growth, and is broken or rot
ted, and when the new growth of
wool starts, it pu3bes the old wool
till it drops. We have of. en heard
wool growers say, "I wonder what
makes tbat sheep cast its fleece or
drop its wool; it has been treated as
well as the rest." But the fact is it
had a bad spell of some kind some
time in the fall, and has been over
looked till the fleece tells the story.
All the grain it will cat, aud tbe best
bay, won't make the wool unite
again when it is once broken. Of
course, the sheep that are getting in
to tbe best condition with the grain
fetd are only hurrying up to grow a
new (Jeece, and are shedding their old
rotten fleece faster than thoae that
are not so well fed. That is lbe
whole secret. Tbo only way to save
the wool is to shear it now und blan
ket the sheep tr keep thcni under
cover till mild weather, i;h good
feed. If ttey have any tkin disease,
or ere troubled with ticks, you will
then see it, and be prepared to apply
the proper remedies.

The months cf February and
March are very busy ones to all ag
riculturists. AU tLe plan for the
year's woik must low be wtil ma
tured, and we will hope proper con
siderations has been given to tbe
vegetable department. Farmer'
gordpns. aj a rule, do not show to
tbe advantage tbey GugLt tq do.
There is too great a disposition to
depend on the city markets for what
is needed, aud, somehow or other,
the home vegetable gardens gut ne.
lected. liut those who do raise their
own vegetables arc all very well sat
isfied with the profit and pleasures
afforded, and to those persons and to
oilers who, we hope, will try it, we
propose to say a few words on the
starting of early vegetables. One cf
the most useful' and interesting parts
of tbe vegetable garden is tbe hot-bed
for etarting seei s early. Such a bed
may be made now and in u may be
sown such seeds as tomatoes, egg
plants, cabbage, cauliflower, and let
tuce, lbese plants are tbeu very
forward wben planting out lime
comes, And in the earliness of their
maturity we are amply rewarded for
the care in making the hot-bed and
tbe protecting of it from severe cold
at nights. But there are some who
do not want many early vegetable
plants; a few only are needed tor the
first crop perhaps just for the taste
only until ihe'maia crop shall come
in. These persons can easily raise a
few plants in boxes in their ki'.cben
windows. A few tomato seds sown
in boxes now, and later transplanted
into another box, the plants six inch
es apart, would give ripe fruit by the
beginning cf July, where ordinary
plants, not transplanted or cared for,
would not give fruit until tbe end oi
the month. It is a great point gain
ed if vegetable plants can be put into
the ground wiih their roots undis
turbed, aud the better to do this, box
es are best constructed so that one of
tbe sides can be easily taken off and
tbe plants tbus removed without lbe
earth falling away from lbe roots.
Tbe writer of tbis once bad toma
toes so treated which bore ripe fruit
so early as the 15th of June, and all
vegetables can be treated in a like
manner with the most satisfactory
results. Tbe rearing of these plants
will afford much pleasure to the wife
and daughter, and tbe fruit from their
plants will be much more pleasing to
them than any tbat could be brought
from tbe market. It must not be
forgotten that to have vegetables in
perfection we must not stint the ma
nure. A" plants, and these espec
ially, must have rich food. yith
tbjs, and a warm, spnay spot for
them in the garden, there will be no
regrets over the little time, space,
and care required for them in the
house or hot bed just now.

Dutch Runner' is a famous old fash
ioned earlier sort, and very nice fla
vored. Cabbages For family use, tbe
beBt early varieties are the 'Little
Pijie' and tho 'Dwarf Savoy.' Tie
best winter varieties are the 'Drum
bead Savoy' and the 'Large Flat
Dutch.'
Onions. The 'Queen' being very
I early and tender is excelled by none.
The 'Large lied Wetcerstield' ana
'While Portugal' are best for main
crops.
Radishes. For forcing tnd early
sowing tbe 'French Breakfast' is the
first to be recommended. The 'Yel
low Summer Turnip' is excellent for
summer use, and the 'Scarlet Chinese'
fcr winter.
Potatoes. The new 'Beauty of
Hebron' is tbo earliest which has yet
come nnder my notice. The quality
is also very fine. For winter use, I
have found no sorteopcrior to Thorn
burn's Late Hose.'
Cauliflower. Tbe variety to be
recommended for frames or forcing is
tbe 'Extra Early Dwarf Eufurt. For
general use in tbis climate tbe kinds
mjst certain to bead are tbe 'Algiers'
and 'Tiiornburn Nonpareil.
Lettuce. Fcr forcing the 'White
Forcinz bead' and 'Tennieball' cr
'Boston Head' are tbe best. The
Simpson' and 'All-the-Year-Bound'
are old and reliable varieties tor out
door, spring and summer use.
Core. Among the many varieties
of sweet corn, none can be better for
an early crop than tbe 'Minnesota.'
This may be succeeded later in the
season by tbe 'Early Eight ltowed '
For general and late use 'Stowell's
Evergreen' is the best.
Tomatoes. The 'Conqueror' is
certainly the earliest variety; but fjr
general use the 'Hathaway Excelsior'
and 'Trophy' are to be recommended.
This latter is probably the most de
sirable for eating raw, but perhaps a
lilile too acid when cooked.
Beets The earliest and prettiest
is tbe 'Egyptian,' though inferior in
quality. The sweetest is tbe old
'Ba-'sauio,' wb'lat for general winter
use, tbe 'B.o.'d Turnip' if a good
straiu, is lbe best Btets to be used
during the summer should ba pulled
when half grow n.
Peas. Among tbo dwarf varieties,
or those requiring no brush, 'The
Little Gem' still reigus supreme.
'Blue Peter' is also very productive.
Ct tbe tall, wrinkled kinds, 'Alpha'
is tbe earliest, and tbe 'Advancer'
second. For a general crop, the
'Champion of England' has tew, if
any, competitors.

1 he Tito larmorn
Twenty years ago tw young far
mers bought one hundred acre farms
adjoining, tbat were alike as regards
Soii aud improvements, or nearly o.
Uolb were paid for, and each farmer
had about the same cash capital.
These men were named A and B,
aud I will now show how they con
ducted their business, aud the condi
tions of the two farms in 187C. A
was energetic, took several agricultu
ral papers, worked early and late, al
ways said 'come boys' to his hired
help, be taking the lead, spent no
time iu needless talking while at
work, provided ia advance work for
rainy days, uougbt tne ue-tt lartn im
plements tbat could be obtained, se
cured first class live stock of all kinds,
built commodious outbuildings as tbe
prcfit of his farm admitted, set fruit
nd ornamental trees aronud bis
dweiiing, made good gravel walks,
built Sue substantial fences around
his house, kept tbem well painted,
and also his bouso and out-buildings;'
and to-day he has one of the ran.it
beautiful aud productive farms in the
State, with some $ 10,000 on interest.
Now, B was a different man. He
bad no energy of character, tock
things easy, mbscribed for rjo agri
cultural papers, was opposed to 'bock
farmers,' said to his help, 'go boys,
I'll be along by and by,' was con
stantly on tbe watch for somebody
to talk to, while bia work was delay
ed, never bad any work ready for
lainy weather, considered the 'new
fangled' farm implements a humbug,
was opposed to 'blood stock,' set O'U
no trees arund his dweiliug, consid
ered the old out-buildings and feuces
'good enough,' didn't think that paint
was of any benefit on anytting. B
spent a good feharo of his time in the
village talking politics; and now his
farm is worn cut, the fences are out
cf repair, b:s bouse is so leaky that it
is dangerous to live In It, bis barn
and shed are tumbling down, and the
saddest of all is, the $hrri(f ha ad
rerlixfil the place tor fate, farmers,
it pays well to attend to your busi
ness energetically and thoroughly.

An exchange savs: Wuhut ag
riculture there is no wealth. Gold
and silver are not wealth they are
its convenient representatives ; com
merce produces uo wealth it simply
exchanges it, manufacture and the
arts combine it. Agriculture is tne
prolific in itber of wealib tbo re.-tt
Kituply handle it wben produced and
delivered into their bands.
The earth breeds savages. Agri
culture breeds enlightened nations
it breeds the manufactory; sculpture,
painting and music are its offpnags.
Tbe wheels of the wotk-sbops, the
fails of commerce, the implements of
science, Ho pen of the geniu.t, tbe
pencil and too chisel of the artist, tbe
eloquent tougue of tbe orator, the
scheming brain of the rtateman; the
equipages cf weahb, tbe bauquctings
of pleasure rail tbat render vartb in '
its tides of life anything but a great
sepulchre, more and hare power of
being because the fields yield tueir
fruits to the pilient toil of tbo hus
bandman. We might manage to live without
merchants, without mariners, with
out orators, wiibout poets; jctbaps
we might poesibly survive tbo loss of
dcraagoguea-.but surely we could qot
do without plowmen.
The state of husbandry ia any
country is tbe bast test of its enligh t
