C, has a large type-writing bureau on Broadway. Some years ago she conceived the idea of "an electrical con nection which would enable a single ope rator to runt two or more instruments at once. - This idea carried, into - practice re vealed the possibility of an important im provement in telegraphy, since a similar process wouldj dispense; with the necessity of copying the messages when received and insure absolute accuracy and privacy in their transmission Miss McRae worked five years on a machine f orthis purpose, and was then introduced to George Hatha way; as an expert electriciaxl 1 who would test the thing and see if it could be put in to practical use. . The machine was taken by Mr. Hathaway . and returned in a few days; out of order.. The next heard of him was that he had claimed the idea as his own and organized; a company in, Philadelphia, to introduca it. . This is Mies McBae's ver sion of the matter! "and she announces her determination to obtain her rights through the courts. Hathaway is now introducing the new system in England. This is something after ' the manner in which poor John Gill, of New Berne, was swindled out of an invention, I perfected by himself, that put millions of dollars into the pocket of the sharp Connecticut' , yan- kee who got the patent, while the inventor died almost penniless. A Narrow Escape, . .Wednesday afternoon a young"olored man carried a pistol to agunemUa ssliop in this city to be repaired.

A few minutes afterwards the latter returned and handed the pistol back to the young man, saying it didn't revolve to suit him. The young man took the weapon and was examining it, when there was a sudden re- part, powder flashed into the eyes of the gunsmith and a leaden ball went meander ing through the colored fellow's vest, enter ing at the open breast, and passing out un der his armpit at the back. It seems that the darkey, although he had only had pos session of the pistol a minute or two, had In the meantime inserted a cartridge. This fact being unknown to the young artisan', he of , course handled the pistol carelessly and the consequence came Very near prov ing fatal to one ef both of the parties.
