Alabama Bulldozlnir.

WAsftiNGTON, July 13.—Bulldozfng has commenced in Alabama, as appears from three cards which have been published in the Selma DaiJb-, Tiim* (Bourbon), The first is from M, L. Bowie» a native of that State, a bne-leged ex Confederate soldier. The Republicans of Dallas county had proposed to nominate him for acoun.tr office. Unbulldozed. the ?ounty has 5r000 Republican majprity. However, the Bourbons have intimidated Bowie into declining in a c&rd, in which he 8ays:

deilre to say that I am not a Candidate for any office in Dallas Count jr. For anything that I have done to obtain one I alone am responaible, and not Judge Craig, or any olbar roan. My condition and duty to my family, wbdeh. demanda an honest effort for their support, alone prompted my course. Jf by expressing deairo tor a public office I have committed a Bin I, for onc. aux ready to bear my part of the oonseqnencea, whatever others may see fit to do."

The next'card in concession to the bulldozer is from G. S. Craig, who had been nominated for re-election as Circuit Judge by the Republicans. The District has a Republican majority of 20,000* the people being left to exercise their free will. The Judge is a native of Dallas County. The The Selma Time* on the 4th mat. denounced the candidacy of Judge Craig As "a challenge and a defiance to the people of the county, and that it will be the cause of trouble in the county for the reason that he was the only Republican candidate there." In view of this he issued a card in which he says: "I have endeavored always to do my duty as a citizen and an officer, bpt If my candidacy for an office is to have this effect upon the community, I ought not to longer continue In the contest, and withdraw from it, believing that with the prejudices excited against me by the individuals who aae managing the campaign on the other side, my influence for good in tho offlco would be destroyed."

There is yet another victim of a different stripe. Mr. Robert Spence, who was au Independent Democratic candidate for Sheriff in Talladega County, issues a card announcing liis withdrawal from the canvass. The character and tone of the card give evidence that the bulldozer had been whispering in his ear."i

An Artificial Yoice.

Any man who is dissatisfied with his voice can become an orchestra, with woods, brasses, strings and a big arum, if he likes. In September of last year. Dr. Foulls, of Glasgow, found himself under the necessity of proposing the complete removal of the iarynat of oue of his patients. The man consented,, chiefly with the view of escaping the lingering death which threatened him. It was accordingly done and iiowat the end of four months a fair share of health has been regafned, the windpipe and other parts implicated have healed so as to admit of the introduction of voice tubes, and the man has been shown at the University and before some of the scientific societies of Glasgow, where the's professors and others were enabled to satisfy themselves of the reality of his speaking powers. For the sake of easy adjustment it consists of two tubes, which are placed in the wound separately. and fitted to each other bv slipping the lower a little way into the upper one. A framework holding a vibratirfg reed is passed into a hole in the front of this tube, like a drawer into its grooves. When pushed home the reed ft plate slopes downwards, and the current of air from the lungs, impinging upon its' free end, throws it into vibration. A continuous musical note is thus produced/ which becomes modulated into vowels. consonants and words by the action of fr the mouth. All the reeds remain silent

in ordinary breathing. The vowels areS perfectly clear and distinct, both mi whispering with the reed out and in intoning with the reed in tho tube, proving that the vowels are the product of changes in the shape of the mouth-cav-ity, and not formed by alterations of the: 2k

ver and brass.

—To him whom the science of nature delights, every object brings new proof of the existence of a D&ty, and everything that proves this gives cause for admiration. If he lifts nis eyes to the clouds, finds he not the heavens full of wonders? If he looks down to the earth, does not the worm proclaim a Master? Could less than Omnipotence have formed and framed these things?
