PEOPLES Sc CO. 44: BEPOETED 'bY PHON?GBAPfl;r i : A Political Address Reeled Off a Metal Cylinder. New York, Oct. 80.?The first at? tempt to record a public speech by means of the phonograph waa made.la?t Thurs? day evening at a Democratic rally in the Park Rink in Orange. Very few of the 5,000 people, present knew that the ouri? ous funnel-shaped arrangement just in front of the platform was there for that purpose. It in fact reported the greater portion of Governor Green's speech and that of ex-Senator Win field. The funnel, seven feet long, looking like a huge cornucopia, was placed in front of the platform, with the large end pointing toward it. The small end was connected with the transmitter of the phonograph, which stood upon a table about nineteen feet distant. from the month of the sneaker. , O wing I to the lack of accommodations, the large.end of the funnel waa not so placed as to secure the best results. It was about six feet lower than it was designed to be, and was not directly in front of the speaker. Nevertheless, the experiment appears to have been very successful. . The-phonograph was operated-by The? odore Wangemann and an assistant, who are connected with the Edison labratory. Eighteen cylinders were used, and'the portions of speeches which were taken occupied nearly two hours. Each- cyl? inder would last about seven minutes, and .then it had to be replaced with a new one. There was a alight break caused by the changing of the cylinders, but this jlifficulty can easily - be obviated by using two machines. The breaks, however, are not serious. At the Edison labratory yesterday afternoon the change waa accomplished in eight seconds. After the meeting an. exhibition was given of the powers of the''instrument Several persons put the tubes to their ears, and the pleased and wonder struck expressions of their countenances testi? fied that they heard and understood what the-, machine said. Among these was Editor D. A..Dogan, of the Orange 'Ber--\ aid, who claims the honor of being the first to publish a speech reported by. the phbnograph.v'.?Mr. Pagan, saysi tha^he could hear not only every word distinctly, as reported by the machine after -it bad been carried to his office, but he could distinguish the inflections and- hear the applause and cheers and music of the. band a3 plainly as though'they bad actu? ally been repeated. -The'-advantage of the phonograph over stenography, he says, is that one can get rt faithful repro? duction ot the Whole scene. '? Its accuracy can he absolutely relied npbn. pi^tiie| Edison -Jabratory % the phono? graph was put - -in operation, and. the reporter, by putting the tubes to his ears, heard the peroration of ex Senator Win field's ?p66ch. ? :? "Protection 1 Protection I Protection ! for monopolies ahd trusts I" said the pho? nograph. It Bounded as though we were sitting in a large hall close by the plat? form and listening to a speaker of deep, sonorous voice of extraordinary power. So real did it seem that one was surprised not ; to see the orator whose . vehement questions he could picture. At the con? clusion of his remarks, there arose a per? fect storm of cheers, mingled; with the clapping of hands and the stamping of feet There could be heard ? a con fused msB? of sounds as of an audience' rising to .their; feet and dispersing, amid con? versation, laughter and the playing of a band. V ... \2?t}. '? The phonograph . does not confine itself to utterances made for the benefit of the public. Daring one of-the speeches , the chairman of the meeting addressed a remark to .a ? brother . politician, % over which they both laughed. Both the remark and the laughter were recorded by the transmitter, . : \ ? ? ' . Experiments are constantly being made upon the machine, and a new and - better form of cvHbdera: Js^in: process, of "construction. 'Withitt'twa^weeksabotheri attempt will bef madev^ probably at Orange.' to take a . public speech by the OBe ofthe phonographs F^^ a funnel has been constructed smaller than the one used before and of different shape. 'With this it is expected to attain even.better results than on last Thursday evening. - The Age ot a Horse. ,The following, quoted by .the Lancet* Clinic, from, the Dublin. Farmer'a Gazette, is valuable to every one that owns a horse: .??'-?'' -'\.-.*.> - ? The foal is born with twelve grinders. When four front teeth' have, made their appearance, the colt is twelve days old, and when the next'four assert themselves its age will be about 28 days, The corner teeth make their appearance when the foal is 8 months old, and;these latter at? tain the height of the front teeth ,at the age ot a year. The two year-old has the kernel?-the dark substance in the middle of the tooth's crown?ground out of all the front' teeth.. Io the third year, the middle front of teeth are shifted and when '3 years old these are substituted by the permanent (or horse) teeth, which are larger and'more yellow than their prede? cessors. The next four teeth are shifted in the fourth year, and the corner teeth in the fifth, giving place to the permanent nipper.. At 5. years of age* a horse has forty teeth, of which twenty four are grinders, far back in the jaw, with which we have little to do. But, be it remembered, horses invariably have tushes,- which mares very rarely do. Before the age of 6 is arrived at the tush is full grown, and has a slight groove on its internal surface (which generally disappears with age, the tUBh itself becoming more rounded and blunt,) and at 6 the ..kernel or mark is worn out of the middle front teeth. There will still be a difference of.color in the centre of.the tooth; .':'" -\: The tushes have how attained their fall growth, being nearly or quite an inch in length, convex without, concave within/ tending to a point and the extremity somewhat curved. Now, or perhaps some months before, the horse may be said to have a perfect month. At 7 years, the mark, as described, is very nearly worn out of the four centre nippers, and fast wearipg away in the corner teeth, especially in mares ; but the. black mark stiM remains in the centre of the tooth, and is not completely filled up until the animal is 8 years old. As he gets on past 7 Xne bridle teeth begin to wear away. At 8 the kernel has entirely disappear? ed from all the lower nippers, and begins to decrease in the middle nippers. It is now Miid to be "pant mark of mouth." There me indications, however, after this age which will enable a very shrewd ob? server to guess vory closely at a horse's ige, but none that can be relied upon by observers. As horses become advanced in years the gums ahrink away and the teeth exhibit along and narrow appear? ance ; they lean more forward and as? sume an arched shape. ? A teacher in a school in a neighbor? ing town, while trying to define the wotd "slowly" to her pupils, walked across the room so slowly that she wobbled in her gait, and then asked: "How did I walk ?" A big boy in the back of the room paral? yzed her by blurting out, "bow legged, ma'am."

A Flea for Scientific InsttQctlon In the Public School*. Ho the Editor of the News and Courier: Whatever may be the wrongs of the agri? cultural classes in onr State, either real or fancied, one thing ia evident. They feel the need of industrial education, and will not be satisfied until their demands in that direction are met in some way by the 'Government. The great desidera? tum, at present, seems to be an agricul? tural and mechanical . College, and for that end the acceptance-of "the Ciemson bequest." It is presumed that this mat? ter will receive the earnest considera? tion of our next Legislature, and upon wise decision (lightly as. some are in? clined to View it) muteh depends. If generottsly treated all may be . well, otherwise who can tell what two years may bring forth ? Whether this college will accomplish the end desired no one cab foretell-; but one thing is sure, the. masses of our people' are grossly ignorant of the science of agriculture, and their call' for light should be heeded. . This is a matter which derrands the attention of all thinking men. However well a college may meet the expectations of those who favor it, certainly its bene? fits can never reach the vast majority of our agriculturists, and the only way to give them the much needed light'is through the common schools. Let ag? ricultural text books be prepared and have the first principle? of this science taught in eVery school in the State. The great advantage of this course must' be apparent to every one acquainted with the ignorance of the average farmer as to the science of his calling. Ask him j Why he applies cotton seed or stable manure to the iand, and the only answer he can make will be because it makes the crop grow. He knows nothing of ..how the plant feeds or of the ammonia, phosphoric acid, potash or other chemi? cals contained In his fertilisers which act as plant food, consequently he has to gain by years of costly experimenting what be ought t? learn scientifically in an hour. Why dp not most farmers exchange their cotton seed for meal? Because they have been swindled so often in bay? ing worthless commercial fertilizers that knowing, the seed to be valuable - as a manure they fear in their ignorance to make the exchange. They know not that the ammonia in the Seed is the princi? pal and almost the only plant food it contains, and that by making the ex? change two pounds of this valuable fer? tiliser are gained for ?vtry ohe which is loat. Why then Bbould not this valuable knowledge be instilled into the minds of the youth of their, fortunes out of the soil? -While the boy -la learning the history of his country, and the science of his native tongue, teach him the science of his calling, teiabh him what percentage of the different fertilizing elements is contained in the ordinary manures made on.the farm ; teach him the use of am? monia, phosphoric acid, potash, lime, &c, as plant food ; teach him the value of leguminons plants as a fertilizer, their action on the soil, &c, the necessity of keeping vegetable matter in the land, the-action of bacteria on the different fertilizers,-and the.part they, play in for? warding the growth of the crop; give him in bis schools boy days some knowl? edge of this intensely interesting science, and when he becomes a man and begins to put into practice what he has learned theortically, ho will 'be a sorry man who does not profit by his knowledge and seek to increaaa his store with every day that he livesi If South Carolina ever expects to regain her proud place in this'great Republic, it must be done through her agriculture, for she is essentially an agri? cultural State, and this can never be done in the impoverished condition of her soil, unless her sons are educated in scientific agriculture! B. St. [Matthew's, October 24. . JSJck Man's Plea for Water. Alexander H. Stephens used to relate the following story of his first client, a Mr. Hezekiah Ellington. He was very sick with malarial fever, and in accord? ance, with the medical practice of the time was prohibited from drinking cold water.' Finally his thirst became intol? erable, and one night, when the rest of the family were all asleep, he called, his faithful negro to the bedside. . "Shadrach," said Mr. Ellington, in the most natural, matter of fact voice he could assume, "go to the spring and fetch me a pitcher of water from the bottom." ,. Shadrach expostulated, pleading the orders of the doctor and mistress. "Shadrach, you had better do what I .teH you. rir.". . Shadrach still held by his orders. ' "Shadrach, if you don't bring me the water, when I get well I'll give yon the worst whipping you ever had in your life I" . . : Shadrach either thought that if his master got well he would cherish no ran? cor against a faithful servant, who had saved him, or, more likely, that the prospect of recovery was too slight to ustify any serious apprehensions for his present disobedience ; at all j events, be held firm. . . The sick man was silent for a while, and then said, in his most persuasive accents : ' ''Shadrach, my boy, you are a good nigger, Shadrach. If you'll go how and fetch master a pitcher of nice, cool water. I'll set you free and give you five hundred dollars I" And he dragged the syllables slowly and heavily from his dry jaws, bb if to make the sum appear immeasurably vast.. But Shadrach was proof against even this temptation. How could he stand it, and what good would his freedom and $500 do him if he should do a thing that would kill bis old master? The sick-man groaned and moaned. At last he bethought him of one finel stratagem. He . raised his head as well as he could, turned his haggard face full upon Shadrach, and glaring at him with his .hollow, bloodshot eyes, Baid: "Shadrach, I am going to die, and it's because I can't get any water. If you don't go and bring me a pi tcber of water, after I'm dead I'll come back and haunt you ! I'll haunt you as long as you live I" "0 Lordy, master! You shall bab de water I" cried Sadracb; and he rushed out to the spring and brought it. Tbe old man drank and drank?the pitcherful and more. The r>ext. morning he was decidedly better, and to the astonishment of every one he soon got well.? Youth's Companion. Why She was a Heroine. We were running down from Charles ton to Savannab,-and tbe train was hum ming along at high speed, when the danger signal blew and the air brakes were put on hard. As the train stopped all the passengers piled out to see what was the trouble, and we soon discovered that a culvert around the short curve i had been washed out, A negro woman had flagged the train with a white apron, and bf course we all looked upon her as a heroine. "When did you discover that the cul? vert had gone ?" I asked. "Jiat about half an hour ago." "And your first throught was to stop the train?" "Yea, sah.'* "Well, you are a brave woman.

The Durham, North Carolina, papers devote most of their apace to the Rev. Sam Jones' meeting?. It is stated that one rainy and muddy night .three thousand persons went out to hear him. ? The great evangelist was as racy as usual in his remarks, and one of the papers quote him ab follows under tbe bead: SOME OF SAM'S SAYINGS. I don't know bow to argue with a fel? low that's silly. Sin not only makes a rascal of a fellow, but it makes him a fool. I don't carry my feelings around me. I'm afraid some fool might hurt 'em. And when I go home I throw 'em over the back fence for fear my wife will hurt 'em. Adam was a Methodist. How do I know it ? Because the old rascal fell from ?grace. I never played baseball. I wouldn't have ? dog that would play baseball. A fellow gets off to himself to keep out of bad company, and he finds he's penned up with the biggest rascal in town.

Lots of the church members were not making schedule time when I got here. Some people will talk about Sam Jones' converts and say. they won't stand. If you are God's convert yon will stand when the stars are falling. Crowder and the Crows. Farmer Crowder had finished planting his corn, but his heart was heavy. He knew the crows were whetting up their bills to pull up the corn so soon as it appeared above the surface. i ,"I tell you how to getaway with the crows," Baid Neighbor Stokes. , "How?" "Get you a gallon of mean wbisky and soak some corn in it till it gets full of the stuff, and then scatter it broadcast in the field. The black rascals will eat it and get drunk, and then you can catch em' and pull their heads off. It beats pizen or shootin'." In a few-days Farmer Crowder met bis friend Stokes. "Well,'how'8.craps," queried Stokes. "My corn's bodaciously ruint," replied Crowder, dolefully. "I tried that 'ere scheme o' your'n and it's a dodrotten humbug. I soaked the corn, and scatter? ed it one day, and next mo ruin' I went down to tbe new groun' to see bow it'd worked."". "Found 'em druuk, eh ?" "Found nothin'. I hearn a devil of a fuss down nigh tbe brauch, and when I went to. see what it was, thar was a dad blasted old crow what had gathered up all the wbisky corn an' had it on a stump an' he was retailin' it out to tbe other-, givin'. 'em one grain of that port fur three grains o* my planted corn; and dinged - ef they hadn't clawed up (bat field by sections." An Imprudent Jest, Speaking of woman, said tbe colonel, after a long pause, I was traveling in Missouri in my buggy when I met a tall, alabsided girl of 20 in tbe road. I bad taken a drink or two and felt jolly, and so I hailed her with: "HowdySal? Fine day." "Howdy stranger," ^she promptly re? plied. ' Say," I went on, "I'm looking for a wife." "WhatBort?" "About your kind." "Want me?" "If you'll .have file." "Beckon I will. Lei's drive back and aee dad and mam." I was joking, you know, and sol told her that I was in a great hurry and would return. Three natives who came along just then stopped to find what was the matter, and they set in with the girl to take me back. The only way I could get out of it was to bolt for the woods, leav? ing the horse and buggy behind, and five years later the girl was still driving them. Tbe little joke of mine cost me just $350, to say nothing of being run through a patch of woods five miles wide.?Detroit Free Press. Nothing to Bo With It, ^ An old woman who lived on the fron? tier during the last war between this country and Great Britain possessed a marvellous propensity to learn the news, and used frequently to make inquiries of tbe soldiers. On one occasion she said to one of .these defenders of our rights whom she had frequently saluted before: "What's the news now?" "Why, good woman," he answered, "the Indians have , fixed a lever under Lake Erie, and are going to turn it over' and drown the world." "0, massey, massey 1 whatshall I do 1" and away she ran to tell her neighbors of the danger, and inquire of her minis? ter . how such a calamity might be averted. "Why," said he, "you need not be alarmed; we have our Maker's promise that the world shall never again be destroyed by water." . "I know that," returned the old lady, hastily; "but He's nothing to do with it?it's them plaguey old Indians." Only One Fourth, Anyway. Representative Allen, of Mississippi, has a darky among his neighbors at home who, if the statement of the professional humorist of the house is to be believed, is even more shiftless that the average negro of the South generally is found to be. One day this negro, so Allen Bays, went into the country to. pick cotton, but presently returned very much disgusted. "Didn't you get any offers to pick cot? ton?" Allen asked. "Yes, sich as dey was. A white man offered me one-fourth of what I picked. ?I jess took a look at de field, and saw for myself dat when hit was all picked, bit wouldn't amount to one-fourth, so I leff for home.

Written From the Standpoint of a Vaasar Girl Who Deserves to be an Old Maid. Men axe peculiar; they wear No. 10. boots and snore. This is what makej it easy to recognize a man when you see one. Men wear bats they are careful of and carry umbrellas they are not careful of; when not losing them they are pok? ing them into somebody's eyes.. Men don't gossip, but they do go to their clubs and talk over tbe "news." Men don't paint or powder (often); but they raise whiskers, that make them look like Scotch terriers, and coax little hair moles to grow on their chins. Men are not vaio, but they never like the young lady who says they are hot handsome. Men are consistent they like to see the dress of a lady plain and sensible, "bate furbelows and flummery," but if a lady in a plain, sensible dress enters a car she may stand ah hour and not one of them will offer her a seat, but when a lady enters arrayed in the height of fashion every one of them will spri?g to his feet and glory in the honor of standing for her sake. Men never find fault with themselves, not if they can help it. Adam showed them bow they could help it and they have profited by bis. instruction. Men take cold and tbiuk they are going to die, and when you carry them a bowl of herb tea they turn pale and ask if you don't suppose it would do just as well to take it nest week. Men are alwavs wanting a clean shirt and when they get one they are always ready to swear that there is not a button on it, when all the time the buttons are there, only they can't finu them. Men can never find anything.

The usual remedies, while they may give temporary relief, are likely to do more harm than good. "What is needed , is an Alterative and Blood-purifier. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is incomparably the best. It corrects those disturbances in the circulation which cause sleepless ' ness, gives increased vitality, and re? stores the nervous system to a healthful condition. Rev. T. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass. Home Missionary Society, writes that his stomach was out of order, his sleep very often disturbed, and some im purity of the blood manifest; hut that a perfect cure was obtained by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Frederick W. Pratt, m Washington street, Boston, writes: "My daughter was prostrated with nervous debility. Ayer's Sarsaparilla restored her to health." William F.

A lady friend of mine has for several years been troublod with bumbs and pimples on her face and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove them and beautify and improve her complexion; but these local applications were only temporary and left her skiu in a worse con? dition. I recommended an internal preparation known as Botanic Blood Balm?which I havo been using and selling about two years; she used three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and Bmooth, and her general health much improved. She expresses herself much gratified, and can recommend It to all who are thus affected. Mas. S. M. Wilson. A BOOK OF WONDERS, FREE.
