"My lather was a merchant, ami ins boy hood days wore spent tor the most pari behind thc counter. Al the agc of eighteen I xvus sent lo Randolph Macon College, in Virginia. Alter-pending u sear ami a half in the preparatory depart) ne ul I enter ed college, and idler passing throilvll thc regular course, graduated in IX'tf. '.lu ihe year lbw, when about Hu? age of twenty \uare, I coinincuced uitendliig lectures on chemistry, ami was forcibly struck wini the powers of the galvanic batters, and its con nection with electrica] 'urront*. In thinking over the maller I felt con vinced that electricity could be prac lieut iv used in convey lug intelligence between distant points on insulated wires. I announced this bclict to my classmates ?o?d to illustrate my idea drew a diagram around the walls of my room, exhibiting a wire support ed by glass brackets on upright pole? auch as are now in use, willi a bat ten ul each end und au independent clock work on which to receive mes sages. "I attempted frequently to explain this to HIV comrade-, but was only laughed at for my pains. I was re garded aa a visionary, and my pro ject as a dream. I contended timi il would work und prophesied that in the near future a mau would be sit ting in les cleanlier in New York conversing willi his brother in New Orleans as familiarly ?is it they were seated at his own fireside. Yea, moro that mc I'ici-idciit of tho United States would in thc same manner con verse with thc Emperor ol Russia in au in-taut of time. This ol course was regarded by alias the ext rome of fanaticism. (inly one ol' my class males would lisien to me with any d' grce of credulity and that was a young man from North Carolina by thc name of Baxter Ullgg, who after wards became somewhat prominent as a Methodist preacher. "In alter years a number of my school mu i es caine out with voluntar) communication-tu diHereut newspapers testily lug lo w hui I have above stated. Prominent among thom was J. YY.

I therefore wrote to him explaining in detail my views, accompanying the same with diagram-, etc., and asking him tor hi opinion. To ibis request 1 received no answer. This fuilui'O to answer was rather a damper upon ms enthu siasm, and I thought that after all probably my theory was not practical or its merits would have been appre ciated by a mau eminent in electrical science. "I therefore dropped the matter and devoted ui)self to my studies, saying but lillie more about the telegraph.

"Thc moment I saw the combina tion tho conviction flashed upon nix mind that Page bad Used my sugges tions to bim made eleven years before lu the furtherance of the Moise pro ject, and when I learned that al ibu time I wrote to P.?gc in 18;W, and tor some years afterwards, he xx as ,.n ex ami nor in the patent ? fllce, and for bidden by law to take otu a [latent in his oxvn mime, my convictions were confirmed, indeed, I wa? so positive ot ibu fad i hat I xv roto a communica tion to the Washington Globe, publicly charging Pave with having availed biro-elf of n y suggestions.

As to Mr. Lin* ? coln, it was still it question whether he would finally side with the Radicals or favor a conservative reconstruction, it was therefore proposed that the prominent officers ol the army should unite in an ellbrt to influence the sol diers to favor, so soon as the war ended and thc question of reconstruction citiiie up, the organization of a National Conservative party which should ig nore all thu Radical leaders named und others of their class ; which should also exclude thc Northern Copper head" as a necessary condition to sol dier^'support ; which should he made up of war Democrats and bout hern podiiciutis and officers, and provide prominent places for all Northern officers who would join the movement This proposition was receiving much I at tent iou ai the various headquarters aoout Goldsboro w hoi: the news emin of the surrender of Lee.

Pardee in "Disk:") Some years ago Richard Ch um While wioie a delightiully Interesting book on Auicrioani-ms. iii- inignl will have divided mo buhjoel imo two parts: Yankeeism* amt Southernisms. Absolum correctness in proiiuuciuliou, or in itu* loiinutioii ot scinuuc.es, is a mo-t difficult accomplishment, ami tiaro bo, eil lier Norther South, who have reached suet! a degree ol perfection ihui no exceptions eau be taken by "carping critics" to their ut ter?tico?. In thc mai ter of pronunciation, the times are uhuihtillg, and one can scarce ly keep pace wno tue Innovations being introduced by the loading ort hu j o (UStS. The purpose of lids paper is, now ! ever, lo present, in a succinct way, a I few ot thc quaintnesses of pronuncia* ! lion and construction held lo by thc Southern people us a class. Aillohg liiere ibo lin-l Dirt comes to mimi IN ibu custom of omitting thc last two loiters in such words as .mon,'' .MourV'-ntoie"-winch are pronounced ..mo," "to," and "elo." "What o'clock ?H ii?" you a>k ibo Carolinian, ami Icu tn one he tells \ nil il is "half pas' to'," if Unit happen lo bo Hie hour. Another common Southel'iiisiu is thc use of'Mike usn," ur "like" tor Hm words "as il.*' "She looked like she knew inc" is a CO tuition expression, or "site looked like as il she'd die." This is vers common in Washington, and ni all the Slates south of Mason and Dixon's linc. The word "funny" is frequently used Instead of iii ange, and some times willi staitiing ettects. A young Southern tiri wus visiting us once? and a caller was telling of thu death ot her motlier through swallowing a tish bone. "On! wasn't it /tinny T% ex claimed our visitor at the close of thu nari alive. "I think \ on mean si i ange," saul the caller, as soon as shu reci?er en from the ttstoinsinent. Our girl n iciid has never used lue word "lim- j n> " since ! If you happen to hear anybody say "/7/c cheer you inav know it i- lu leuded lo mean "right herc." For instance: A S JUth Carolinian will say: .'Where was he at lasi night ?" and Ins lullow-eitizeii will sm, "Ile staid rye cheer willi nie." Djettr pronounced in one syllabic -is nul u Russian word as might be supposed; it means "do iou hear?" ami is usually addressed t<> servants in ibis form: **Yout .Mm! Pring in ihat wood, tfjaarf" "To get to go" is o-soui lally a Geor gia expression. They sav, "Do, don't tail lo come lo-Ilight," and the reply is, "I've tried to get to yo three weeks, now, so / reckon I'd be lhere t'uighi." 1'hc expression "Do don't" is heard du Georgia nod South Carolina, but rare ly elsewhere. One ot the must laugh able things you ever heard is tlie pe culiar pronunciation of thc word "about. Ii is impossible to express thc South Carolinian's pronunciation, phonetically, lt sounds liku ubttout - pronounced very quick I) io I bree syl lables* "Q;i.nc," tor "qu er," is ?mo.her word. The use of "nc o ' lor "pi Csu Hie" is said lo have bee li derived from the Yankees, as was iho expression "right smart" for tia: word "much." "lu imitation of English, perhaps, I? thc custom of sa) lug "I've got it" for "I have il," ami (tie gehend Use of thu word "got" where ii is quite unneces sary. Al-o English ls the use ul Mubliged?" a- "i'm obliged m do ii" for * *I must do it;" "bc is obliged to go," tor "bc must go." Ambiguity of expression is mo prevalent in nixie, and loo many people suciitice sense for sound. LoW-couuiry people and thc resi dents of middle Smith Carolina say "gte-arden" for "garden,' anil "</ee yarW for "ginini"-willi thc hard sound of "g." So, too, with such words as "card," "car" and "cari" uno which is lui reduced the sound ul "A-cr," to luke the place of ibo Hist consonant, thus: "Avje-m-i/," "A-ce-u/'," "Ace-u rf." The iiHc of delightful tor delicien-, in such a sentence as: " Tho icc ci cam is delightful," is very common. ..Pret ty" is a word very often misused, lor instance: "isn't this a pretty day? and ibis error is a very general one North Carolinians say thc scenery is '.pretty"-meaning picturesque; III? day is "pretiy"-meaning Uuut and that a pei sun's manners arc --pretty" -meaning weil bred. %%Y0U llltf* or, as il is abbreviated %* y'all J* ia Olio ot the tn st ridicule of all tho Southernisms I can call lo mind, lt usually menus two or more persons, but is sometimes used when only one person is meant. For in stance acabcr on irking her departure says: "Y'all must come to see Us." She means (he lady, upon whom she is culling, and her husband may call. Thc Yankees have quite us mail) ridiculous ligures of speech as those I have mont 'urned as peculiarly Southern and it will bc resolved for another paper lo pre-cut thc oddities ol Yankee convers?t lou. In the meantime every true-hearted Southerner who reads these lines will declare that he never ti-ed any of theso Southernisms, and w ill t:c just as honest in his belief tin thc Churlcstoiiiuii whon he vows Ihat he never says "?/?? ?-wuv" for 'Hill way" and "o?i/?-?-wuy" for "ihat way."
