Our Telephone. Dkar Yistton rerhapa it will be of in terest to jour readers to hear of pur tele phone. The writer, in company with one f liis. friends, conceireJ the idea of at empting to construct a telephone for our wn use, Xar success has been bejond the most sanguine expectations, ncL hence the fallowing account, which, I hope, may in jure others tomake for themselves" this most useful and fascinating instrument. i oi k Lisa -is but a short one, running from the parlor f Mr. Geo P. Baker to the study-ot the writer, a distance of about $0 yards, though it mttst be remembered that our telephone will-work equally well with a line of 50 miles or more. Our wire is the common broom wire, costing not more than a cent f... rim n-hirli snv nnfl inftV C&lctl- W W... .. J J late the cost of the line wire. The whole apparatus consists of this wire and two tel phone cups, one at each terminus. - THE COKITKCCTIOX is rery simple, and any one at all skilled as an amateur workman may make one for himself. I will endeavor now to describe clearly our instrument, so that your readers sm ay go and do likewise : First, my skillful friend, Mr. W. D. Cook, turned on his lathe two cylinders (hollow) the dimensions of which arc as follows Length, 4 inches; diameter (outside), 5 inches; diameter inside, 2 inches. Each cylinder is open at loth ends. The two enda are then closed by twa flat circular covers screwed on. One ofcthese has cut iu its centre a hole about 1 inch in diame ter, with a cone-shaped mouth-piece, whose inner diameter is 1 inch, and outer diameter about 1 inches. Across this hole is-place a thin piece of iron plate called the dia phram. "We used a piece of thin plate the phonographcrs use. for taking ferreotypes. So much for the external parts. The inner parts are as follows. We got two -smal horse-shoe magnets, such as may be bought for 10 or 45 cents at any hardware or toy store. These we fastened together lateral ly, screwing them firmly between two pieces of wood about the sizeof the magnets. Between the ends of the magnets we placed two little round bars of soft iron, 2 J inches in length. inch in diameter. These bars extended beyond the ends of the magnets aliout inches. Before placing these ban between the magnet?, we made two little apools of paper (one for each bar), which we fastened to the bars at the end. We then wound these little spools full of fine insulated copper wire, leaving the ends out Ihia-copper wire is as. nnc as common tlircau, ana is covered or msuiateu witn silk. It can be obtained of ;inv electrician in the larger cities. This is all that isnceded for the telephone We have now a cup or cylinder as above described and inside the two horse-shoe magnets fastened together, having extend msr from their poles or ends two bars o irn, each with a. little spool ot copper wire upon it. A screw enters the opposite cud of the cup, and holds the magnets at the right distance from the diaphragm. By turning this screw voiranay move the mag nets and liars nearer to or farther Irani the diaphragm. In the closed end of the cu are two bmss screws, with a hole in their heads to receive the line wires. These are similar to those used by telegraph operators to connect their wires. The little copper wires on spools at end of bars are attached inside the cup to these screws, and thus the con uection is made with the line wire, It is very difficult to give a clear descrip tion of even this simple instrument without diagrams. - its orenATioN is remarkably perfect, and is as. follows .You hold the telephone cup within about an inch of the mouth, and talk or sing di rectly against the thin 'iron diaphragm which covers the whole in cover of up. The vibration of this thin iron plate conse quent upon the sound-waves caused by. the -voice induces a disturbance of the magnetic field which envelopes the ends of tlie iron bars (above spoken of). This disturbance is communicated through the bars to the mag nets, and through the fine copper wire to the main or line wire, whence it passes to the other cup at the other end (in my study, say), and there induces correspond ing changes in the magnetic: field and in . i. T ; i ' i .i , . . mu uiapuragm, aim me sounu is uistinctlv heard. 8o much for tho'theory ; now for tlie ACTUAL WOKK. I can st in my study a-id hear voices in the distant parlor : can carry on a conver sation as well as if the erson were in the room with me,. and can enjoy both instru mental and vocal music. It is like fairy music, as every note is faithfully conveyed. A cough, a sneeze, nay even a kiss may Ik? . readily transmitted, as some of our experi menters can testify. We have been trying Mine very interesting experiments Forin stance, to hear music from tin? piano, we place the telephone cup or cylinder direct ly on the sounding-board, and every note is transmitted with perfect accuracy and clear ness. The music is most exquisite, and ap jear to be formed within the cup which vou hold in your hand. 'Mrs. voic- (which I must tell you is a voice of ex- qmsite purity and sweetness) can be heard at times a distance ot three feet from the cap. . Four of ns, with our heads near the cup, have heard it at the same time. One of our most beautiful experiments was as follows: We found that, when we " placed the telephone cup upon the sound ing board of the piano, if we sang or spoke gamsi me aounmng-uuard it was heard in my study. So we opened the piano'sup )rting the cover on the little sticks on ei ther aide, and then a full quartette sang to the music or the piano, and it was heard plainly in my study. The-cup was placed on the sounding-board, and the voices strik- i mS mc uuuer pn ui inc piano cover, or ju, were acuecicu uown against the soimd ing4iord, and every vibration or note was faithfully transmitted. , ui.nb u.niMii t-Apcrienccs nave itecz iwith the little children. Little Julia a, a maiden of nineteen months, will listen en tranced tu my voice calling her -and send ing her message, and then actually scream with rdelight, look into the cup, and cry Ha ke! Ha ke! which is an attempt at my panic. She is learning to talk into the cup, Aud probably thinks I am in it. The sw eet estsoundl have yet heard in the cup has been the voices of these four children (who iim ucauiuui cut ot son"), Eddie, Willie, Nettw and Julia, all under eight years.

Salhhl'rt, Aprit 0, 1878. MKHsns. Editors I am aurpril to ace that the Stiitc Democratic Executive Committee have fallen into the name iniH- take of Rome of your correspondent, in saying that the law requires an election for Constables to be 4ield iu the several Townships of the State iu August next. Sec. 24, Art. IV, of the Constution is as follows : "In each county, a Sheriff and Coroner shall be elected by the qualified voters thereof, as is prescribed for members of the General Assembly, and shall hold their offices for two -years, la each Township there shall be a Constable elected in like ntanncr by the rotors thereof, who shall hold hin office for two years. In ease of a vacan cy existing for any eanse,' in any of the offices created by this sect Un, the Commissioners for the County may appoint to such office fur the unexpired term". The ''Act concerning Townships" was not ratified until the 10th day of April, 1 SiZ). ( Laws 1 3-(E) ch. 1 35, p. 473.) Sec. 5 of said Act, provides that 'the first election for 'township Hoards of Trus tees shall be held on the first Thursday in Aufjnst, isca." Sec. 10, of the same Act, provides that "at the time and in the manner authorized by this act for the election of Township Boards of Trustees, there shall be held an election for one constable iu each Town ship." Sec. dj of said Act, also provides that "the persons chosen at the first election under this Act. shall continue in tjieir office till the first Thursday in August, 1871, and until their successors shall have qualified, -when the regular election for saidL officers shall be held every two 3'ears thereafter." (See also sec. 2, chap. 2, Laws 13(59-70, p. 42.) The first election under the present Constitution for Constable was held in August, 18(U The second in August 1871. The third, in August, 1373. The fourth, in August, 1375. And the fifth, iu Au gust, 1377. A majority of the counties in the State failed to hoM an election in 1377. In those counties where no election was held in that year, the Commissioners have tilled the vacancies, or should do so. (Const. Art. IV, sec. 24.) There is uo provision of ' law authoriz ing another election to be held for Town ship Constable until the first Thursday in August, 137.) tho projHT time for "the next regular election for Constable.

Charles Ilarak, a wealthy fanner living neav Giug's Station, in this county, and whose locks have withstood the assaults of sev enty winters, wooed and (as he supposed) won the heart and Jiand of Miss Mary J. Morriss, a neighboring lady whose golden Jt - esM?s have, been fanned by the irentle 1 A . . uieczes ot eighteen summers. He propos-1 ett, was accepted ami yesterday, mornim; the wiugs of love wafted him into the clerk's office, where he obtained the nec essary license. He started homo with a light heart and smiling eotinteuanee. lint, alas! during his ahsence one' of his sons visited the tikle maiden and so vigorously beseiged the citadel f her aftectious that she surrendered, jumped into n vehicle with him, drove to town by a circuitous route, nud their hearts were beating iii unison as husbaud and-' wife WronTtlie old ruati reached home. A la rgty crowd witnessed the ceremony. It is said that the old gentleman, when he. discovered the true state of affairs, oj;ned his Uiouth and blasphemed. Cincinnati Ex quirer. A lady who objects to profanity because it is both wicked ami vulgar writes to know what she ought to say when a clothes line breaks and lets a week's washing fall into the mud.

KERR CRAIGE, gttonun at ato, PROSPECTUS OF The toifai Becori. -The Davidson Record, well known to the people of l avidson county us their campaign paper of 170, is designed to meet a puhlie wan I of tiie Lusiness men and tif tliejiittrtMs ot the enr.nly. The time has come when :ilim..-t every eouuty finds it indispeus:ihle to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter ests in the various afl'iirs of business, local and general. There is no county in the Slate that would not te greatly heneliled hy a journal within its I i iuuis especially devoted to the pro motion of tl.e local intnsss of the coiniui.i.ity, Such a p-ipci appeals very iroiily to the par tiality and pi ide of t!.e section it strves; ai.d every citizen slioiihl yive it his coui;teiiance and support it liberally, as a incai.s of increa in; its usefnli ess and extending its iiilliuncv at home and.ibioad. The stronger it becomes tlie nivire b in ficial it will prove; and as the money requind for its support is far less than the uiateri A j.ood it does, it is the best invest ment any com ly can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country, ll it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in resneet to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is e.-ptcially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions ot public concern, and give to his readeis the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges hiniseU to he true in this regard, lie will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of parly or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the genera! good. As political matters now stand, his personal con victions are most decidedly in aci-ord with, tlie views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva tive parly, lie believes that the -Moris of this party in 1S7G wrenched from the grasp of tyr ants and corriipiioiiiMs in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1770. The danger was immi nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and iloriously rescued the iinpeiiled liberties of ihe people. While that party shall continue more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it. I;it the main design of The Jireord is to serve the county of Davidson in all the ways it mav be possible to advance her interests and pro mote the welfare of her people. And to this end tiie undersigned desires such intiinale re lations with her citizens as shall enable him o perform his h:ty t fiicier.t ly. The paper will be published weekly at $1 a year in adwiic.
