s THE HED HEADED GIRL.
Yoe may boast of your brilliant brunettes,
Who were born under tropical skie??
Senoritas who smoke cigarettes,
Who charm you with ebony eyes ;
Who are fond and familiar to-day,
While yon whirl in the wild, giddy
waltz
Who forget you when you are away,
And who will t-o-morrow be false.
You may dream of your lilly white
blondes,
Of a puny and delicate size,
And whose colorless hau corresponds
With their languid and dim azure eyes;
Who have blood like the blood of a beet,
And who freeze you the first time you
look,
And whose spidery fingers and feet
Are as cold as a fish in a brook.
I will sing of the girl with red hair,
With a form like a Helen of Troy ;
With, a will that can conquer all care,
? With a temper a man can enjoy,
With a glance and a kiss that can charmt
With a laugh that can banish all gloom;
With a white and tapering arm
That can manage a washboard or broom.
I will sing of the girl with a crown
like a grate full of glowing red coal,
Who will never impatiently frown
Who is blessed with a beautiful soul
- AVho will love in a passionate way,
Who will always be constant and true ;
Yes, I care not what others may say
Let them laugh at her strawberry hue

Leo Ebrlic&'s Invention, Wolca, He
8?V?, Will Perform Wonders.
St. Louis ?epbulican.
Leo Ehrlich, former secretary of
the Humane Society, has invented
a device which will canse all the deaf
people in the land to call him blessed.
It consists of a contrivance which can
be located in the hand e of a cane,
umbrella, paiasol or fan, and which,
when placed to the ear of a deaf per
son, will cause him or her to hear
any sound audible to the ear ct a
person who is not tfn cted with deaf
ness. The device which produces
these effects is a tube ab jut six inches
long placed in the hollow of a Malac
ca cine. In the tube is a co e shaped
electric coil beginning at a small twit
tery at the lover end of the tube and
terminating in the bird's bill. The
vibration of this coil causes a multi
plication of any sound or noise pass
ing into the tube through several slits
in the side of the cane. The cane
and tube together weigh about six
ounces,, and the whole outfit looks
like an ordinary Malacca walking
stick with a eil ver head.
" How did I happen to invent it ?"
aaid Mr. Ehrlich, in reply to a ques
tion. "Well, it was the necessity ot
my own case. I was BO deaf that it
interfered with my social and busi
ness duties. I had been treated for
my ailment in Paris, Vienna and in
this country, and I still grew worse ;
so I set about to invent something
that would cure me, and the iesult
surprised me. I can now hear an
well as you can, and without the use
of the cane. It is very simple. It
is simply a multiplicaron ol sound
by electricity and the projection of a
steady current of electricity agaiust
tbe weakened or paralyzed nerves
and tissues of the ear. There is not
a degree of deafness in which a man
cannot hear with this, even if the
ear drum is destroyed ; of course ii
won't make a new ear drum, but it
will make him hear. It is simply a
multiplication table in the shape ol
?ound. Here is one of the feature*
of it. When a man is near sighted
he can get a pair of glasses and nc
oae take8any notice of it; but when
?i man ia deal he must either lug an
eir trumpet arouud with him mucL
to the amusement of everybody, oi
uear nothiug. Thia thing he carrie
in a cane or umbrella, and not cul}
uses it without any one suspecting
what it is, but hears welland is curcc
ot his deafness. ' It accomplisher
(Vhat nothing*elee has ever done. E
C. Witherspoon, of the Cotton Ex
change, wno has not heard-a doj
bark for the last twenty-three yearn
can hear as well as anybody now. H<
was made deaf by the accidental dis
charge of a piece of artiileiy. Hil
inends on 'change are astonished t
the readiness with which he hean
now. I have been at work at thii
over a year, and when J began every
body bad to yell cloee to my ear
now I can hear the slightest whiepe
a* n- tn>h?Lr? distance. ~ I will sen<
one to Mr. Edison, wbo is deaf.
the Kind of Life Not W or? li Living
A life of mere money getting i
alwaya a failure, because you wii
never get as much as you want. Tin
poorest people in this country are th?
millionaires, and next to them thoa*
who have $500,000. There is not t
scissors' grinder in New York OJ
Brooklyn so anxious to make money
as those men who have piled up for
tunes lor years. The disease oi ac
cumulation has eitc-n into tnt m. That
k J is not a life worth living. There are
too many earthquakes in it, too many
I j shipwrecks, too many persecutions.
They build their castles and open
tneir picture galleries and make every
inducement 1 ;r heppiness to come,
but she will not.
?So also a life that chiefly strives
tor worldly approval is a failure.'Th?
two most unfortunate men iu the
Uuited States fer the next six months
wiil be the two Presidential nomi
nees. . Two great reservoirs of male
diction have been gradually filling up,
and about midsummer they will be
brimming full, and a hose will be a .
tiched to them and they will begin
to play on the two nominees, ard
tiey will have to stand and uke it
t ? fasehoo 1, the caricature, the vet.
o i, the ii ?th, and they, will be ro!Kd
07er in it and choked with it.
The Sime thing is seen on a smaller
scale in the strife for social positior.J
Good morals and intelligence are nit
necessary ; but wealth, or the show
of wealth, ie absolutely indispensa
ble. It dont make any diff?rence
how you get your wealth, if you oniy
g -t it. Perhaps you get it by failiig
four or five times-the moat rapid
way oi accumulation in this country.
If a man fails once he is riot so very
well off; but if he fails twice he is
comfortable, and by the time he fails
three times he ia affluent. But if
you really lose your money how quick
they will drop youl High eocial life
ia constantly in a change-insecurity
dominant, wretchedness dominant
and a life not worth living -Dr
Talmaac.
Ebstein has hit upon the proper
method of avoiding or modifying cor
pulence. Abandon potatoes, beer,
milk and sugar, if you desire to have
or retain shapely proportions and
cure dyspepsia and headache. It
may not suit all people, but it is a
blessi?g to many. It ia the sugar in
ooffee and tea that f ickens. Chinese
and Arabians never HV. eaten those
beverages.
The whole financial system of the
North appears to be permeated with
corruption. There can be no pros- j J
perity in business while this con
tinues. There are many rascals yet | j
to be turned out.

A Dt-af Mw Has Hears ??rougli
His shoulder;.
Chattanooga Times.
"Are you really deaf and dumb ?"
This was the question addressed by a
2imes reporter yesterday to a dwarf
ish looking negro boy .who was lean
ieg against a brick wall on Market
street. He is small, thick set, and
coal black. He has large, wide, open
eyes, but his features have the dull,
stolid lock socommonly seen in muter,
?s the reporter spoke, he noticed
that the colored boy was eyeing him
very carefully, and when he finished
the boy opened his note book and
wrote in a scrawling hand, "Yes."
"Can you tell by the movements ol
my lips what I am saying ?"
He nodded affirmatively.
.* Who will testily th*t you ar?
deaf and dumb?"
He turned to a gentleman from
Boyce Station, who explained to the
reporter that the colored boy was
named Henry Bell ; his age 23 ; he
was boiaatCave Springs, 6a., and
could never hear or speak. For sever
al years he has been employed by
Capt. Taylor, at Boyce Station and
he knows positively that he is a genu
ine mute.
Now for the strange part of the
story :
The repcrter placed hn finger tipe
very lightly on tue boy's shoulder.
He wore a heavy coat, and the touch
was bo light, that the heavy ioldt
were not depressed. The boy turned
his head so he could not sae the re
porter, and the lat.er said, almost in
a whisper: "Do you know what]
am saying nuW ?"
Henry wrote in his book, "Yes."
" How old are you and wLere wat
you born?" the reporter again whis
pered, Henry's head still being turned
He wrote, " My name *a Htnrj
Bell. I waa born at Cave Springs
Georgia, and am twenty three yean
old. I know anything you say, bj
the leelirg in my shoulder." A lonj
conversation WK; thus carried on;
and the boy understood every word
Dr. Holtzclow, who witnessed thi
tentaleo conversed with the boy ii
toe same manner, and explains hu
strange sense as lollows : "As al
mutes remaining seuses, especially
lhat uf touch, are very acute, wnei
you speak, the vibration of your vo
cal cords are transmitted to you
muscular tissues, and when you plac
your fingers on bis shoulder the vi
bratious are transmitted to hir
through your fiuger Ups. His ?ens
it feeling is so acute ttut t?is vibra
non acts on his ahjulder just a
duuud waves act on the drum of tb
ear and he viriu-iliy he-irs through
' his shoulder. instances ol bimi
mute* interpreting speech by placin?
(beir fingers on the muscles ot th
t 'h r oat ara frequent, but an instant
j Lke this is very, very rare."
Henry wrote that he has bee
['radioing many years at this mod
. ol interpreting speech. Hie lacilit
in lip reading is also wonderful. B
^ locking at one carejollv while, jthp
speak he knows every word that
uttered.
Everybody makes mistakes ; bt
s net everybody acts in the eame wa
1 ia view of mistakes. One man b<
? comrs completely demoralized whe
: he finds out that he has made a ba
: blunder, and he either goes bluudei
1 ing on blindly, or he drops his tas
f in despair and leaves the mistake t
right itself, or to carry confusion int
. ttie work of others. Another mor
wisely, as soon as ho peiceives hi
' mistake, rectifies it as far as he can
1 wins new lessons ol possible peri
from it, and nerves himself to greatei
cirefulne66 in the futurp. These twi
methods ol' treating mistakes lead t<
widely differeut results. In a veij
epidemic of t turtling railway disas
ure in England some years ago, il
war, clehrly proved that the greatei
number of accidents happening at
that time were due to tue demorali
zttion among engine-drivers and sig
nalmen occasioned by the occurrence
ol two great diseBters in rapid euc
cession. Thit waa the legitimate re
ault of letting the mistake muster the
min. <>n the other hand, when the
min masters the mistake, victoty ?
won from defeat, and success from
fadure. In consequence of a se^
of officiai blunders, the Prussian ar
my, at the beginning nf this century,
wa< little better than a half discip
li arid host, depeudent for existence
in the Napoleonic struggle on e
wretchedly inadequate commissariat.
Prussia learned well the lesson taugh*
by her mistakes of then ; and it ie
chu fly in consequence of th -tapti
tude to learn from mistakes unwit
tingly made, that the German army
is to-d-iy the strongest united land
force in the world. There are always
two ways of treating a mistake. The
easii way is to let it alone, and to
mike no attempt to correct it or to
learn anything from it. The best
way, however, is to stop the mischief
induced by the mistake, as far as you
can, and so to learn the secret of your
mistake, that you need never make
it again. Tl a* ia the one way of at
taining accuracy, in word or deed.

THE SEDGWICK
STEEL WM FENCE.
'
THE above cut reprob?n ts a section
and Gate of a strong, cheap and dur
able Steel Wire Fence which are now be
ing used at the North and Northwest In
preference to any other kind of fencing.
Wherever it has been tried it has given
great satisfaction.
It is a net work without barbs and will
keep out small pigs or any other animals
that may injure gardens or farm crops.
It makes no shade and shelters no ene
mies to crops or poultry.
It is just the fence for Gardens, Lots,
Lawns, Paiks and Cemeteries.
Being dipped in Rust-proof paint it will
last a life time, and is better than board
fence in every respect
It is easily and quickly put up.
Specimens of Pence and Gare?
Can be seen at the ADVEUTISEB building
wheroastosk is kept on hand, and where
all information as to price, Ac, can be
obtained.
