The same was used in my letter. The instrument at the sending office was precisely my design, so far as I can learn ; but I think his instrument at the receiving offiee was different. I don't think that I will enter suit against Prof. Bell, though I lack but ittle of having evidence sufficient to justify a suit. I lack mneans to put other, I think valuable, inventions before the public. I don't want mony but a man of practical skill to take "hold of and deal honestly both with mnyself anid the public.

Somebody or somethiug in reckoiincg up the numbers of beaux it who) called, is responiblie for the way in which fives grow into fifties, fifties iito five hundreds, and many other kindred perforumances, and we prefer to think it the fault of the lady's arithmetic, rather than to suppose that she would begin the year by tell iieg fibs. At all events the New Year's reception is an important af fair, the sucAces of which depends Lubch, of course. on numbers, and therefore such results are not aston ishing. Cards are o,ften sent out about tvi days in advance. These are in plaizi script, and do not differ from the visiting card ercept that in the left corner January 1st, 1879, is tran scribed. COSTU'MES.

I may add that a great impetus has of late years been given to the making of dresses at home, by the peretion which has been reached in the devising of patterns, in consequenee of which so mxany difficulties are solved and the way made plain for professionals. Apropos of this, the Singer machine company announce that they have taken a gold medal at the recent Paris Exposition, and on other occasions have won the first prize more thtan two hundred times.

Upon eferriog the matter to the 1st Conp roller of the Treasury he decided ~gainst the Chairman, but when Sena or Edmnunds appealed to hium he re pened the case. Whether he has endered a final decision or not does aot matter, for a subsequent reference o the "Department of Justice" brings i decision from Acting Attorney 3eneral Phillips in favor of the com nittee and against the Treasurer. As his is the "consummation devoutly o be wished'' by the stalwarts, it is intended to start the cozuirtee at work without delay. Senator Tfeiler, Cameron. of Wisconsin, and Kirk wood with Senators Garland anid Bailev, Democrats, expect to leave for New Orleans to-night. This comminittee bas had a goo-i deal of fun made of it even by the Republicans. Its Chairman, Mr. Teller, is called the 'Unexpected'' Chairman and the whole~ committee is called Kangaroo because its strength lies in its tail, Bayard, Bailey and Garland.
