: ' Republican ; gives a touching account
: of the disappointments of himself

wants the editor of that wicked sheet,.
to give - him some comfort,- and ' to

altogether ignored by Hayes in , the
matter of appointments, and. that
sundry Democrats had secured favors
" at the hands of the Administration

nice little offices that "of right belong

pathetic not to feel badly when we

the tears trickling between 'the lines

. a - little of ' this lugubrious and de
sponding epistle just for "the fun of

how downcast are the "leaders'' iof

growing scarce and their arms are no

Edison has made another improve
meut upon his phonograph, f He calls
his new machine the Auraphone, aud
it will talk on its own hook just as
well as the phonograph 'will record
the sounds . made by persons. The
invention is too wonderful not tode
Bervespecial consideration. : We give
an extract ; from an interesting ac
oount that appears in the New York
Star: t "? ':
: "In the ceiling of his private offlcel con
cealed from view, with the exception' of a
small, ear-shaped funnel, of dark color; be
has fitted between .the rafters and the floor
above one of his double recording and
speaking machines. In the room above a
portion of the machine rises through the
floor, and attached to it is a small wooden
box, said to contain the coils of tha pipe of
the trumpet, the bell . or mouth ot which
opens through one side, and is made of the
new substance : djscoverea by Air. .Edison,
and alluded to elsewhere. : u With : the ex
ception of .the box, all other portions of
the machine are open to inspection. ..hvery
word uttered in the room below is repeated
in the room above, with : about treble or
quadruple the volume of .sound (although
it can be arranged in vast excess of this),
while at the same time it is being recorded
on the matrix plate for future reference
and preservation through the electrotyping
process. Theeffect produced by the aura-
phone: is not only comically weird; but,
in many ways,' alarming. Sending an as
sistant to the room- below in order - to lest
its capacity for catchiog whispers, the ora
tor, directed by Mr. Edison, bent down his'
ear to the little box .only to. be deafened by
the inquiry, "What do you think of the
auraphone?" shouted in tones that almost
made the house rock, followed i bv a laugh
so mockingly hideous and Unearthly as to
maae ine blood curdle wiln norror. .This
we soon discovered to be one of the peculiar
jokes incidental to an introduction to the
auraphone, always hugely enjoyed by the
inventor and his attaches. Subsequent ex
periments proved the exquisite; sensitive
ness 01 inemacnine. me iamiest whisper,
the ticking of a olock, the rolling of a lead
pencil over the desk, the tearing of a small
piece of newspaper, a sigh, a tune hummed
in the lowest register all were successively
delivered in the room above in exaggerated
volume. At night, when the quicj is more
profound, Mr. Edison informed us that he
could plainly hear the purring of his cat in
the office below." - .
: There seems to be no end to the
fertility of . Mr. , Edison's inventive
powers. .If he should not finally Ibe
bereft of his reason he m ay v discover
other principles or . machines . more
wonderful than his marvellous phono
graph or his astounding, auraphone,
He is probably endowed with a' great-
er genius jor.1nvcnuon1.nan any man

Tbe country pays Congress a pretty round
sum for the attendance of its servants, very
largely over a million dollars annually in
the way of per diem alone, not to speak of

justify the neglect for the time of private

.which Congressional honors are sought,, the
inference is strong that private business is
very little in tbe way. " Why, then, does it
