"Ity Telegraph THE NEWS CONDENSED. THE EAST. The National Association of Commercial Travelers held its annual convention tit New York. J. R. Trask, of St. Louis, was elected President for the ensuing year. Samuel K. Gay, Chief Clerk in the Pension Office at Pittsburgh, has embezzled from $15,000 to $20,000 and fled to Canada. He was a leader in the Murphy temperance movement and Young Men’s Christian Association.... The New York Agricultural Terra Cotta Company’s works in Ravenswood, N. Y., were damaged $60,000 or $70,000 by fire. The Pittsburgh Humane Society proposes to prosecute certain organizations which insure the lives of small children from two cents per week upward. The increased mortality among the little ones leads to the belief that parents become careless as to the health of their children after the insurance has been effected. THE WEST. Frank Hirth, Carl Simon, and Anton Palm, the anarchist leaders convicted of conspiring to burn the Milwaukee court house, and of inciting people to deeds of violence, have been sentenced to nine month’s imprisonment. Judge Sloan said he had some doubts as to whether they were visionary “cranks” who liked to hear themselves talk, or real anarchists like the Chicago crowd. However, as judge, jury, and witnesses had been threatened by their friends, he would not exercise the clemency he would otherwise have done. Hirth and Simon made addresses to the judge justifying their conduct, and the latter became quite violent in denouncing his conviction, ... .Mr. and Mrs. Henry Search, aged respectively seventy-six and sixty-five, who lived near Janesville, Wis., were murdered and their dwelling then robbed of money and valuables. A farm hand named Ed W. Moore, who has disappeared, is suspected of the crime. Jacob Arnold, seventy years of age, committed suicide at Fort Wayne, Ind., by shooting... .A farmer near Grafton, Wisconsin, is excavating for a meteor which recently buried itself deeply in his barleyfield. .. ,M. B. Buskirk, a dry-goods merchant of Clinton. Mo., has fled, taking with him all of his available assets, amounting to about $4,000, and leaving behind him debts to the amount of $6,000. . . .The Nottingham Block, in Euclid avenue, Cleveland, occupied as stores and offices, was partially destroyed by fire, the total losses aggregating SBO,OOO. THE SOUTH. Weatherford, Texas, dispatch: The following telegram has been sent to Hon. S. W. Lanham, member of Congress, at Washington: “The protracted drought in Jack, Parker, and other counties north and west has caused an almost total failure of crops, and will produce great distress. It threatens to depopulate the country. Families are leaving by the hundred. Use your efforts to obtain Government aid. Telegraph if we can do anything further.” The above was signed by the County Judge, Sheriff, and other officers of Jack County. This is the second appeal that has been made to Congress for aid, while Gov. Ireland has been petitioned to call an extra session of the Legislature. The alarming extent of destitution in the drought-stricken districts is not yet fully realized in Texas, and it is feared it will not be until many people have starved to death. Fort Worth, Texas, has been celebrating the tenth anniversary of the advent of railroads, when the city had less than one thousand population. There are now eight । roads, and it is claimed that the citizens number thirty thousand. A bitter feeling is said to prevail at Atlanta, Ga., owing to the strict enforcement , of the prohibition law. The young men of j the city have organized an anti-prohibition < secret society... ,P. W. Chase, Sheriff of i Concordia Parish, Louisiana, is a defaulter for $27,000. , POLITICAL. 1 The Democrats of the First Congres- 1 sional District of Indiana have nominated I John M. McCullough for Congress. The ‘ Republicans of the Second Indiana Dis- ' trict nominated Rev. M. S. Ragdale for < Congress. George T. Barnes was unani- ( mously renominated for Congress by the < Democratic Convention of the Tenth Geor- t gia District. The Democrats of the Fifth 1 lowa District have renominated Hon. Ben ( T. Frederick for Congress. The Demo- i cratic w Congressional Convention of the ] Fourth Mississippi District renominated T. C. Catchings by acclamation. The Republicans of the Sixth Kansas District nominated E. J. Turner, of Sheridan County, Secretary of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners, to succeed ’ Congressman Handbaek, on the hundred , and ninetieth ba110t.... Warren County, I Mississippi, including Vicksburg, gave a ( majority of three thousand against prohibition. • The Chicago Civil-Service League has ( forwarded to Washington a complaint that 1 all the members of the local board are Dem- 1 ocrate, and that about three removals for 1 political reasons are made every two work- - ing days in the Postoffice and Custom ' House/ Commissioner Oberly intends to . recommend that one or more Republicans ‘ be placed on the board. 1 IXDVSTRIAI. NOTES. Eighty plantation negroes imported to v j Grape Creek, 111., »o work in the coal ] mines, have been sent back South by the t labor unions at Danville. Under a decision of the Vermilion County Court as to the j coal company’s leases, all the white strikers . and their families have been evicted, and are improvising shanties and sod houses in ‘ the w00d5....T. V. Powderly addressed the Eastern association of green bottle-glass j blowers at Atlantic City, and they voted by 42 to 26 to join the Knights of Labor. Trouble is anticipated among the min- ( ers on the Baltimore and Ohio Road. The f Hon. W. L. Scott has a few men at work * at the reduced price, who have signed his i iron-clad agreement... .At Pittsburgh the t green bottle blowers’ convention adopted t last year’s scale of prices. * Six men, members of the Executive 1 Board of the local lodge of the Knights of ‘ Labor, have been arrested at Wyandotte, Kan., charged with wrecking a train on the | । morning of April 26, and causing the death j ' of two persons. The affair has caused ’ great excitement among the Knights at ’ Kansas City. I - ) THE RAILWAYS. 1 The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway are pushing their new line of road, running from Defiance, lowa, to Sioux Citv, to completion as rapidly as men and । teams can make the grade. It is expected । that this important branch of the St. Paul system will be in running order early in the spring. The grading of the western exten- , sion of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Road is nearly completed for sev- i miles west of Ellsworth, Dakota, j and track-laying will 80011 commence. [

The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway have awarded contracts for the rolling stock to be used upon the new Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska Road, to be ready for delivery about the first of January next. ... It is stated that the Chicago & Northwestern is surveying a route for a new line from Iron River to Watersmeet, Mich., thirty-five miles, connecting at Watersmeet with the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western. It is expected that trains will be running in four months.... Crawfordsville, Ind., has offered the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railway Company a large tract of land and a subsidy of $60,000 if it will build its new shops at that point. It has been rumored in railroad circles, recently, that the Rock Island & Pacific Railway will soon get possession of the St. Joseph & Grand Island Road. This line runs west from St. Joseph, 270 miles, through Kansas and Nebraska, to i Grand Island, Neb. Rapid City, Dakota, | now has a daily train connection with the . outside world. The Tremont, Elkhorn & , Missouri Valley Road completed its tracks to the metropolis of Southwestern Dakota on the 4th of this month, and the event was made the occasion of a grand Fourth of July celebration. The completion of this important line gives the Chicago and Northwestern system a through route from Chicago to the Black Hills legion, and, judging from present appearances, it will be a very important feeder to the old road. The extension of the Fremont, Elkhorn, and Missouri Valley Road west from Chadron, Nebraska, is being made as rapidly as possible, and its completion to Fort Fetterman, in Wyoming Territory, is promised by the Ist of September next. The contract for the grading of this line seventy miles west of Fort Fetterman was let recently, and it is expected that track-laying will commence on this section early in the spring. The completion of this link will take the road into a rich coal, oil, and iron region. The Burlington and Northern tracks have been laid to Prairie du Chien and the road completed between. that point and La Crosse, and (rains will be put on at once. The Union Pacific Railroad have determined to put on their road a fast limited train which will reduce the time between Omaha and San Francisco at least twenty hours. It is intended this new service shah be in successful operation by the first of September next. It is stated that the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul will run a limited express from Chicago to Council Bluffs in connection with the Union Pacific fast train. OENEKAE. There were 189 failures reported in the United States last week, against 153 the week before, 185 in the second week of July, 1885, and 211 in 1884. Canada had 11 this week, 12 last week, and 14 last year. The total number of failures in the United States from Jan. 1 to date is 5,777, against 6,616 in 1885 (a decline this year of 839); 5,762 in 1884, 5,515 in 1883, and 3,872 in 1882.... The Chicago Tribune says: “An exchange gravely announces that the latest comet is traveling through space at the rate of 968,000 miles per hour, which is nearly 270 miles per second. The calculations of astronomers show that such a tremendous velocity is possible when a comet is very close to the sun, but that it cannot be long maintained. Only during a few hours can anything like that rate of travel be kept up.” The Governor of Maine has requested the Postmaster General to so modify the regulations for sending liquids by mail as to prevent violations of the prohibitory liquor laws of the States. It is state .it the Panama Canal scheme has practically collapsed. The effort to effect an additional loan has not only been unsuccessful, but has brought out the fact that $20,000,000 of the old loan still remains untaken. Predictions of the result are in order, but they can scarcely fail to include a'roqgh shaking up of the money market in France, which may be very disastrous. The loss of so much money as has already been sunk in the “enterprise,” with general dullness existing in trade, and a partial failure of the wheat crop, which will render it necessary to import some 90,000,000 bushels from foreign countries, may well be regarded as constituting a real calamity to the French people.... The revolutionary movement in the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, is reported steadily increasing. Desperadoes on both sides of the Rio Grande are flocking to the insurgents’ support, and rancheros and stockmen are driving their cattle into Texas. Serious trouble is imminent. The Boston Journal of Commerce is responsible for the statement that a firm in Chicago is building a machine that is expected to roll out a chain from a solid iron bar without the necessity of welding a single link. The bar is to be passed through a set of four rollers which squeeze it into a series of links forming a perfect chain. The principle is in some respects the same as that already employed in obtaining a chain by casting, but with a great advantage over the product of that process in point of tenacity. .. .A Canadian coach was robbed by six masked men twenty-five miles south of Humboldt Station, N. W. T., the highwaymen abstracting $20,000 from the mail bags and, it is alleged, killing the driver. FOREEHJX. The London Times, commenting upon the Tory victory, argues that there is a singular lack of personal weight among the Conservative leaders, and this necessitates a Conservative Liberal Unionist coalition. “The Conservative party,”adds The Times, “will be less strong than it was hoped it would be. Whether Lord Hartington joins the Government or not, the Government will be compelled to take him into its counsels and ask his assent to its measures; it must, in fact, adopt his proposals and accept his terms. Surely the only satisfactory method is for the Liberal Unionists to become part and parcel of the Government. The formation of such a coalition, however, would in no sense mean the permanent obliteration of party lines or that Lord Hartington had become a Tory.” The London Daily News says: “The Liberals hold the position coveted by the Parnellites. They are the arbiters "of the fate of governments. Lord Hartington will keep an independent attitude.” A duel between Gen. Boulanger, Minister of War, and Baron de Lareinty, arising from the remarks of the Baro i in the French Senate relative to the expulsion of the Duc d’Aumale, was fought in a forest near Meudon, five [miles west of Paris. When the command to fire was given, Baron de Lareinty shot at Gen. Boulanger. The latter coolly awaited the result of the shot without firing himself. Finding himself untouched by his opponent’s bullet, General Boulanger raised his own pistol, and fired into the air. The combatants then left the field.... .The net polling in the British Parliamentary elections up to the 19th hist., with seven boroughs to hear from, showed 1,386,983 anti-Gladstonian, and 1,296,853 Gladstonian votes. The Tories had elected 317 candidates, and the Liberals 187, showing a majority of 122 against Mr. Gladstone on his Irish policy. The Conservatives are openly professing their readiness to assume the Government without the assistance of Lor J Hartington, says a London dispatch. Lord Salisbury, while accepting Lord Hartington’s rejection of coalition as final, has not abandoned Lis efforts to bring about a joint ministry. He has turned his attention to the other unionist leaders, and has made overtures to the Duke of Argyll, Sir Henry James, Mr. Goschen, the Marquis of Lorne, and others. Sir Henry James still adheres closely to Lord Hartington, and shares his independent attitude.... James Julior, who recently wrote an offer of marriage to Queen Victoria, called at Windsor Castle for his answer, and was taken into custody. He was found to be ciazy, and was sent to an asylum. ... The convention between European steel-

j rail manufacturers will not be renewed. । Holland has already ordered large quantij ties of rails from Krupp... .The German ! Government is reported as ready to enter into an extradition treaty with the United States and England by which dynamiters may be returned.... The marriage contract between Patti and Nicolini provides for the retention by each of their private fortunes Thomas Power O’Connor, M. P., sends a cable dispatch to the Chicago Times, in which he says: The feeling is increasing in political circles here that the Tories will try to remain in office by the support of the Irish vote in Parliament. There are numerous indications that the attempt will be made. This can be done in many ways without at first compromising the leaders of the Tory party, should that be desired. It is probable that the matter will be approached in such away as to leave the door open to retreat | in the event of failure,and enable the first Lord of the Treasury to deny all knowledge of anything of the sort. The indications are that I part of the price offered for Irish support will I be an Irish land bill acceptable to the NationalI ists. Mr. Parnell has already stated that the landlords of Ireland will never again have such terms as Gladstone offered them, and the Nationalists were willing at the time to indorse. It is difficult, therefore, to see what inducements the Tories can offei- the Nationalists in connection with land purchase that will not at the same time rend their own party in twain and alienate the Liberal-Unionists. Difficult as the task will be, there is good reason to suppose that such a bill is to bo prepared, and that the Irish will have the choice of rejecting it and remaining in opposition, or accepting it and keeping the Tories in office against all comers. ADDITIONAL Yews. There is little doubt that the Erie Road is about to lease the Chicago ami Atlantic, in accordance with the purpose of its construction, and guarantee interest on its firstmortgage bonds. ...The Illinois Central has decided to build an air line between Chicago and Freeport, 111., and is considering an extension north of that town to the Lake Superior regions.... Howard City (Mich.) special: “A large force of workmen has been transported from near Lake View to the cut on the north side of the creek at this place. This is the last of the grading on the extension of the railroad from Lake View to Howard City, giving a new rail route from Grand Rapids to the Saginaws, via the Grand Rapids and Indiana, the Detroit, Lansing and Northern, and Saginaw Valley and St. Louis Railroads. The distance is shortened to 117 miles.” In the anarchist trial at Chicago, the evidence of William Seliger, one of the socialistic plotters who turned state’s evidence, was of a rather startling nature. By the witness it was proven that his house was a dynamite-bomb factory; that the defendant Lingg (who was a lodger in his house) was a manufacturer of those utensils of socialism, and made a large number of them on the day and the preceding day of the Haymarket butchery, that were “going to be used,” he said, “as fodder for the capitalists and police.” The fellow did not say when they were going to be used, and it is a presumption that the conspiracy involved no fixed day or hour, but intended their use whenever the opportune moment, or the contingency indicated in the testimony—an attack by the police upon the socialists—should occur. The words from the rostrum of the Haymarket orators, “Here come the oloodhounds—now's your time!” seem to have been a proclamation that the time for bombthrowing had arrived. The President, accompanied by Secretaries Bayard and Whitney and Private Secretary Lamont, went to Albany last week to participate in the bicentennial celebration of the founding of that city. The reports in the Payne election case came ! up in the Senate for consideration on July 20 Senator Pugh, in advocacy of the position taken । by himself, Senatois Saulsbury. Vance, and Eustis, contended that there had been no express belief or suspicion on the part of any member of the committee to the effect that Mr. Payne was connected in the remotest degree with anything wrong, criminal, or immoral in his election, and that no further investigation i of the charges should bo made. Senator j Hoar presented the views of himself and Senator Frye. Ho argued that such an I investigation was due to Senator Payne, and ' contended that the charges were mad ’ ’ individuals and bodies of sufficient wei to j compel the Senate to investigate them, senator Logan took the floor to reply to the argument of Senator Hoar and to sustain the views expressed in the report signed by himself and Messrs. Toller and Evarts. Senator Logan quoted from the Cincinnati Commercial (lazi tte an article against himself and Senators Evarts and Teller, speaking of Mr. Evarts as a representative of coal oil in the Senate and saying that Teller was not worth talking about. Continuing, he read from another extract a statement that Senator Camden, “whose intimate relations to the Standard Oil Company are well known,” had telegraphed to prominent Democrats that only six more votes were wanted to carry the Senate, and that they were prepared to pay 850,00 J each for- C.iem, and said : “I say that any man who will puldish such an infamous slander and such a villainous lie as that upon honorable members of his own party is unworthy of recognition anywhere.” Senator I Logan then detailed the course of the I Ohio Legislature in electing Senator Payne, and afterward in investigating the charges against its own members. There was not, said the Senator, in the evidence taken before the committee of the Ohio Legislature one single iota of testimony’ implicating Mr. Payne, directly or indirectly. Senator Teller (Col.) next took the floor and said he was not on trial. He had no defense to make either to the people of Ohio or any other State. The committee had kept steadily and truthfully in the line of the precedents. The State of Ohio had made no demand of the Senate. What had newspaper clamor to do with the question when it came to the American Senate? He believed the Ohio newspaper convention was called for the purpose of compelling recreant Republicans to forswear themselves and perjure themselves in the interest of political success. In the House Mr. Morrison's concurrent resolution, reported from the Ways and Moans Committee, providing for the adjournment of Congress on July 28, after being opposed by Mr. Reagan, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Bayne, Mr. Hepburn, and Mr. Willis, was passed by a vote of 145 to 36. Then a struggle arose for priority of consideration between the interstate commerce and the Northern Pacific forfeiture bills, which was resolved —yeas 142, nays 99—in favor of the former.

- A k 4!-- - LZL. —- The Science of Silence. I have read somewhere the following arrangement for avoiding family quarrels: “You see, sir,” said an old man, speaking of a couple who lived in perfect harmony in his neighborhood, “they agreed between themselves that whenever he came home a little contrary and out of temper, he wore his hat on the back of his head, and then she never said a word; and if she came in a little cross and crooked, she threw her shawl over her left shoulder, and he never said a word.” As it takes two to make a quarrel, either the husband or wife might often prevent one by stepping out of the room at the nick of time; by endeavoring to divert attention and conversation from the burning question; by breathing an instantaneous prayer to God f r calmness before making any reply; in a word, by learning to put in practice on certain occasions the science of silence. Robert Burton tells of a woman, who, hearing one of her “gossips” complain of her husband’s impatience, told her an excellent remedy for it. She gave her a glass of water, which, when he bawled, she should hold still in her mouth. She did so two or three times with great success, and at length, seeing her neighbor, she thanked her for it and asked to know the ingredients. She told her that it was “fair water,” and nothing more; for it was not the water but her silence that performed the cure. lie who has learned the science of silence may hide ignorance, and even acquire a reputation for knowledge and wisdom. A story is told of the painter Zeuxis, how he reproved a certain high priest of Great Diana of the Ephesians, who discoursed of pictures in the artist’s studio, with so reckless an audacity of ignorance that the very lads who were grinding colors could not refrain from giggling, whereupon Zeuxis said to his eloquent friend : “As long as you kept from talking you were the admirat on of these boys, who were all wonder at your rich attire and the number of your servants; but now that you have ventured to expatiate upon the arts of which you know nothing, they are laughing at you outright.” Denouncing the vapid verbiage of the shallow praters, Carlyle exclaims: “Even triviality and imbecility that can sit silent, how respectable are thev in comparison I” It is said of one who was taken for a great man so long as he held his peace, “This man might have been a councillor of state till he spoke; but having spoken, not the beadle of a ; ward.” Lord Lytton tells the story of a : groom married to a rich lady, and in ! constant trepidation of being ridiculed by the guests in his new home. An Oxford clergyman gave him this advice: “Wear a black coat, and hold your tongue.” The groom was soon considered the most gentlemanly per- ■ son in the country.— The Quiver. When Drinking Was a Fine Art. Perhaps the Stuart period was about the most drunken of our history. I Drinking had then almost become an I art, and all manner of devices were ' practiced both to increase the obligai tion to drink and to add to the capacity iof the toper. To give themselres a ; relish for their drink they were in the habit of taking thirst provokers known 1 as “drawers-on,” “gloves,” or “shoe- ' horns.” “You must have,” says Tom Nash, “some shoe-horn to pull on your । wine, as a rasher on the coals or a red | herring.” Other “gloves” were salt । cakes, anchovies, pickled herring, etc. I Massinger gives a list of “pullers ou” ih his lines: ’Tis hot Botargo, Fried frogs, potatoes uinrroxved, caviare, Carp’s tongues, the pith of an English chine of beef, I Nor our It than delicate oil’d mushrooms, And yet a “drawer-on" too. Another writer says: “’Tis now ■ come to pass tha* he is no gentleman, ! a very milksop, a clown of no bringing i up, that will not drink; fit for no com- ' pany; he is your own gallant that plays itoff finest; no disparagement now to । stagger in the streets, reel, rave, etc., ! but much to his fame and renown; ' ’tis a credit to have a strong brain and carry his liquor, well; the sole coni tention who can drink most and fox his fellow the soonest. They have gymnasia, biborum, schools, and rendezvous, these centaurs and la ithie toss pots, and bowls as so many balls; invent new tricks, as sausages, anchovies, tobacco, cavaire, pickled oysters, herrings, fumados, etc., innumerable salt meats to increase their appetite, and study how to hurt themselves by taking antidotes to carry their drink the better.” Most of the Saxon drinking cups were made without foot or stand, so that they must be emptied before they could be set down again on the table. But these seventeenth century topers required that a man, after drinking, should turn up his cup, and make a pearl with what was left on his nail, “which, if shed, and he cannot make it stand on by reason there is too much, he must drink again for his penance.” This was drinking “supernagulum,” or, as Fletcher phrases it, '‘ad untjuem.” Another proof of having tossed off his cup like a man was for the drinker to turn it bottom upward, and, in ostentation, of his dexterity, give it a fillip to make it cry “ting.” After all these tipplings a man was to be sober who could “put his finger into the flame of the candle without playing hit I—miss I.”— All the Year Hound. A Day’s Journey for a Horse. According to Hon. John E. Russell. Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, the regular daily journey of the horse should not exceed twelve or thirteen miles. This is as great a distance, lie thinks, as can be economically allotted a horse as a day’s journey for every day in the week. If he has a longer daily journey he must have a day or two off each week. This day’s work of the traveling horse is based on the experience of stage and car companies. For the stage, where more speed is required, ten miles have been found the limit of an economical day’s journey. But a great deal depends on the speed. Give the horse plenty of time and he can do a longer daily journey than ho can if he is urged beyond an easy gait. In emergencies a good horse can do fifty or sixty miles a day. Seventy-five and eighty miles have been driven. But such long, fast journeys are very trying to the horse, and he needs to bo managed with great care and judgment to prevent ha->- i from such violent, continued exert Such driving cannot be repeat ten with safety. The regular day’s journey should be lengthened or shortened according to the condition and character of the road, and the weight of the load. Then there is a difference in individuals, and what one horse does with ease, may be very hard for another. Feed and care are also a factor in the problem not to be overlooked. Before lying down to eat, the ancient Romans took off their shoes.

Instantaneous Photographs. ■ The friends were standing where the ' Catskill hills lay before them in echelon toward the river, the ridges lapping , over each other and receding in the distance, a gradation of lines most artistically drawn, still further refined by shades of violet, which always have i the effect upon the contemplative mind |of either religions exaltation or the i kindling of a sentiment which is in the young akin to the emotion of love. While the artist was making some memoranda of these outlines, and Mr. King was drawing I know not what auguries of ho} e from these purple heights, a young lady seated upon a rock near by,—a young lady just stepping over the border-line of womanhood —had her eyes also fixed upon those dreamy distances, with that look wc all know so well, betraying that shy expectancy of life which is unconfessed, that tendency to maidenly reverie which it were cruel to interpret literally. At the moment she is more interesting than the Catskills—the brown hair, the large eyes unconscious of anything but the most natural emotion, the shapely waist just beginning to respond to the call of the future—-it is a pity that we shall never see her again, and that she has nothing whatever to do with our journey. She also will have her romance; fate will meet her in the way some day, and set her poor heart wildly beating, and she will know what those purple distances mean. Happiness, tragedy, anguish—who can tell what is in store for her? I cannot but feel profound sadness at meeting her in this casual way and never seeing her again. Who says that the world is not full of romance and pathos and regret as we go our daily way in it? You meet her et a railway station; there is the flutter of a veil, the gleam of a scarlet bird, the lifting of a pair of eyes —she is gone; she is entering a drawing-room, and stops a moment and turns away; she is looking from a window as you pass—it is only a glance out of eternity; she stands for a second I upon a rock looking seaward; she passI es you at the church door - is that all? It is discovered that instantaneous photographs can be taken. 'l'hey are taken all the time; some of them are never developed, but I suppose these impressions are all there on the sensitive plate, and that the plate is permanently affected by the impressions. The pity of it is that the world is so full of these undeveloped knowledges of people worth knowing and friendships worth making.— Charles Dudley Jl'arner, in Harper's Magazine.
