The musical gas machine, called the pysophone, seems to have attracted much attention abroad. Its comprss is three octavos, and it has a keyboard, being played in the same man ner as an organ. Then are thirty-seven glass tubes, in which a like set of gas jets burn, and these jets, placed in a circle, contract aud expand. When the small burners separate the sound is produced; when they close together the sound ceases. The tone depends on the num ber of burers and the size of the tubes in which they burn: so that by careful arrangement aud selection all the notes of the musical scale may be produced in several octavos. Some of the glass tubes in which the jets burn are nearly eleven feet long. , , Out Touch of Nature, The Editor of the Billvillo (Qa ) Banner states his griev ance with less elegance, per haps, than some, but with an much force as any. He labored with the same burden that has falleu on many others, and seems to SDeak from the bottom of averv fu.ll heart. Ho savs: J "A paper cannot live where a 'town council sticks its notices ; on a china tree and the mer 1 chants do their advertising on I paper sacks. Some of them say It UWB UUt Uajl tU BUICltllKI.

The advertisers of the Sex are all first class businessmen, right up to the markets, and what is more, you can depend on what you buy to be what you call lor. iueyare courte ous, honest and sell for fair pro fits. You can always receive good treatment when dealing with them. Give them your patronage, instead of gifirg it to men who never get a dollar's worti of work done in your town, who refuse to contribute a cent to any enterprise, social or public, and who rare not a picayune for the welfare of any thing or anylody but them selves. Avoid peddlers and for eign dealers. Give your patron age and encouragement to the men who are trying to build up and beautify your town. U Friday an I'nliirky Day? Lee surrendered on Friday.

Til it Xcw York Times says tl?at"the Southern people will never be persuaded to ignore the tact that to Mr. Cleveland the South owes it that its mar velous prosperity lor the last four or five years has boon pos sible." The Times might also nave added that It was the lore- most paper in the United States in postponing for eight years the period it so eliMjin ntly de scribes. The Southern States vot wl as solidly for Mr, Tilden as they did for Mr. Cleveland, ret the Times was a party to the defeat of the former The fact is that the Southern people had been engaged neuriy tweii ty years in recovering from the ravages of the war before the Times united with them in su 00 rt of a man who was as broad a hiii views as Mr. Cleveland r ove himself to be. lOiNHiaiiH - Mrippui'jr the Jew The New York Tress says that nearly forty affidavits are in the bands of tieneral James ii, O'Beirne of the Immigration Bureau of the United States, made by Jews exiled from Bus sia, from which it appears that these persecuted beings are lit erally stripped of everything they possess before being allow. ed to leave Russia, even - after they have been notified officially that they must nee the country. The story of oia youngi man is like the story of the others. He lived at Riga, where lie worked at his tra ie, but luVt his position through what is kjiown as "official interference," which is the order of the Russian of ficials not to give work to 4 ew When he was discharged lie had saved about 20. besides', bud- poraimr his aged mother lie was ordered to leave Riga, and went to Dinneberg, his mother's home, where he found .work again, but lost it from further "official interference." Ho was ordered to leave Dinneberg. He and his mother got together $31, with which he determined to come to America, but at the Ger man frontier tho Russian offici als demanded of him $18 for an internationl passport. He had no such sum, and tried to get across the frontier without its payment, when he was c&ptur ed, stripped of his little store of money and all his possessions, thrown into prison and pu 'ii 0 chain gang. He was helpedout of prison and to this country by a Hebrew relief association. His case is an illustration oi the general line of opert. ion of the Russian officials wi'hthe Jews who are ordered out of that country. It is outrageous enough to make the whole world cry out against such injustice. Andeksox & Bark, of New York, the contractors for the construction of a lighthouse on Diamond bhoat, off Cape Hat teras, have informed the light house board tuat notwithstand ing the great loss they have al ready- sustained tn that work, they will make another ndeav or to secure a solid foundation on that treacherous reef It will be impossib'e, theyayvto do anything before next , year be von d the con -t ruction or a caisson, wmcn wm ue larger and stonger than the one that was destroyed a few weeks ago while being placed in position. They feel confident that a per manent light can be established at that point, but think it can not be done for much less than 2.000,ow). Their contract price is .$493,000, being within $15,ihni of the available appropriation. The Baltimore Sun says that Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has suddenly come into prominence as a place of refuge for itersons who have round marriage a failure and are seeking release from their bonds. Here the ma rital invalids find a climate highly favorable to their com plaints, for by the law their irevailmg divorces are granted after six month's residence by publication only and fr almost any cause "incompatibility of temper being not the least of these." Already, it is said, Sioux Falls has received and entertained a numln-r of dis tinguished and wealthy people, one of the latest arrivals being a New York lady who is seek ing to be treed from her liege lord, a Belgian baron, who threatened on account f cer-i tain alleged irregularities on her part, to incarcerate her in an in sane asylum. It may be as sumed that of the persons seek ing emancipation from their marriage vows in Sioux Falls, some, at least, will prove lively as well as rich, so that the town may anticipate a boom in social animation as well as in the en hanced values, which, H)ssibly, will follow its leap into promin ence. Physical etercise is essenti al to the development of athlet ic, robust, healthy bodies. e fear that many city people do not take eulncient exercise, A walk or a ride will not meet the requirements of the laws of na ture. Working in the garden or sawing wood aro much better. The development of all the bodily functions is lust as ne cessary to a well-rounded, healthy, physical organization, as the cultivation of every men tal organ is to a well-rounded and vigorous mind. An old graveyard in Oraniro county, lnd., has been dug Into and found to be rich in petri fied bodies. Up to hud accounts sixteen had boon taken out. ),. Worl 1 nt m Time. To tlie average mind of man in our t'.nv aud generation it wmuM soem t!iu-. one world at a ii:Vio Vns a pretty good sort of pli i losojdiy. The level headed citiijii no longer delves atter the secret of the unknowable. AH talk about the date of a final catastropho to the universe is the vagary of cranks. Lieutenant Tottor, who belongs to the army of tho United States and is a military instructor at Yale, ap pears 10 have over-stepped his line of duty for the sake of no toriety. He has figured out the end of the present dispensation as but a year or two away, and some other person has found that the world is soon to become too hot for existence. That, how ever, will not alarm men who go about with their overcoats in July. There is a class of people whose minds are not very well ballasted, who are upset by these spectacular, anticipations. A young clergyman in the east was the other day made -hopelessly insane by the Totten de piction.' Good men, Bible read ers, should remember that the "day and hour" are not to be revealed.. Men who are driven crazy by such nonsense certain ly coald not have far to go.. Of liituvst to Many. The Atlanta Constitution says that from time to time peop'e in this country receive letters, cir culars or advertisements lead ing twm to believe that they are heirs to large sums of mon ey or vast estates in England. They are induced to pay agents' fees in advance to iook atter their claims, and after living in expectation or months or years, th6ir hones are aisappointea, and they realize tnat they have been swindled. The other day a man who has made his living out of these credulous American dupes for a long tune committed suicide at a hotel in London. His name was George F. Parker, alias Hamilton. In 1887 this man's "British-American Claim A gehcy" in New York was brok en up by the police as a fraudu lent concern, and ranter was indicted, but as his victims lived at a distance they did not appear to testify against hinl, and he es caped pun t-hment. His scheme was to correspond with persona, pretending that he had discov ered estates waiting for them in England. After getting them interested he would collect a fee in advance, and that would be the end of it. It is said that he had fully W,m dupes. This swindle has been very successfully worked many times tn the United States. Thousands of our people bve a vague im pression that there ought to be unclaimed money coming to them in England, and it is an easy matter to maKc taem be lievethat by furuismnir proot of tneir descent from some Eng lish family they will be able to secure their inheritance. This was the game Parker played, and for nearly a half genera tion he did a large business and rolled 111 wealth. The New York Morning Ad vertiser asserts that some statis tician figures it out that the bald-headed man, with no hair to cut and shampoo, makes a clear gain of f.j a year. This arithmetic may be all right, and yet the bald-headed man is a great loser, besides having lost his hair. Remember how many years the bald-headed man ex- . -.1. . ! . . . penmemea wun rexvorauves which did not restore, with balms which had no balm for him, with salves which did not save, all costing largo sums of money, and then it will be ap parent that the paltry ? which he sav es is as nothing compared to the oceans of money he squandered in trying to save his hair. When the statistician scatters his figures aluml with a view to consoling the larg and hairless class, he should be sure that he is not going torakt. up financial matters which utv likely to cause pain. Many of the brave and h-n- cable Union soldiers are kick ing against the stupendous pen sion liuuds. Thiy say the rapid increase of pensioners indicate that thousands of mercenaries have been granted pensions who are in no wise entitled to the name of soldier, i here are also many on the roll who were noth ing but "coffee coolers," and in numberless cases are not enti tled to rank even with this cow ardly class, but ere uoserter. West Point Neb., was almost completely stibmerg.'d lit the business portion of tho city. riicN..i lli Carolina Kitslti The PhiludnlphiaTiniesoftl.e sections of the South have been cursed with "gct-rlch-ntiick bub - Mos. Jlorttod by cunniugand un scrupulous 'speculators, it if gratifying to note the fact that t-.e g' nci-ul industrial advance ment m tho' South is substantial and h.niltliy. A better under standing has lately been brought about of t,he Mutual wants of tha North and th South. We have iiniiKMise surplus capital; they have incalculable undevel oped wealth; and gradually our people 'are learning the truth that in many - sections 'of the South the same amount of capi tal and labor will produce much more profitable results iu the same industry than they will ivwluco in the North. ' During the last decade the South has done much to make its resources understood in tho North by a succession of State Exposition. The National Ex position of New Orleans was a financial failure, but it accom plished good results. It was the best til'j- ct lesson the South had ever presented to the country and tho world, aud its benefi cent inlluence is not yet ended: but tl i e more prtiea! method of porfaying the tempting weatlii of the South has been by State Expositions. They have boon held at Louisville,' at At l;.n! .. it Montgomery and at other p. lints in the South, and they bav gathered practical iniii" of eapitel from every part of tlie North, resulting in North. e: ;i investments and Northern e;i: -jj ri.idiiig tLe-r way into sc'-m- ! oi localities which have bw.i iv.pidiy dovtdopel into in-dui-.tr! il ..centres . ' , Th : S-.iuthern Exposition for I8.d vvill bo held 111 Raleigh, the capir it of North Carolina, from the 1st of October until the 1st of December. In this movement all 'of the fourteen Southern Siates and New Mexico and Arizona have u.nted, and it will certainly bs olie of taemost in teresting an I -instructive of all the 'Expositions iu the South for Northern people. It will bring out mure prominently than ever before the agricultural resources of the South, and the great ad vuntagC3 the Southern States of f r to farmers over tho far West. Ten years ago the Times predict ed, alVr a very caref al examina tion into the agricultural condi tion and opportunities of the Sout 1, that the time could not be far distant when the tide of agricultural emigration would turn from the set ting sun to the more inviting Smith; and every year ha- fctrengtheiied that con viction.

Intrerxil. on the. runners. I do not blame the farmers for trying to better their condition. They have certainly h id a time and thoy feel that they have been opposed by the bankers, railroads, merchants and patent-medicine, makers to say nothing of ministers and law yew. Everything seeinsagainst them. Thoy have to fight f rosts floods and draughts and all sorts of worms and bugs and specu lators and cycloues and all the birds of the air. Evoiy body and everything takes toll from the farmers. No wonder that they want to do something. 1 do not think the planks in the Cincin nati platform can be fastened together and held in their places. The farmers ought to know that resolution passed by political conventions raise neither" corn uor wheat, neither can they ef fect prices. .1 do not believe the Government can make money by law any more than it can mako good crops by law. The Gwve-'nment cannot support the people. The jieople have got to support the Government. The Government is a perpetual pauper. I ask this one question If the Government can make money why should it collect taxes? Why not make what it needs and 'stop bothering the people? Still, 1 am glad the far mers are discussing these ques tions. They will find out what the Government can and ought to do. Colored Man Mioi iu tlieLer.
