The City Council Elect*
The gentlemen elected last Tuesday
to t^&olOSces of Maypr aDd Alderm en
will soon enter upon the discharge of
their duties. Individually, and as a
body, they are worthy the confidence of
the people. They enter upon the dis
charge of their duties at a time when it
will require great tact and good man
agement to render acceptable service to
those who are disposed to find fault
generally, but we believe a majority of
our citizens are ready to uphold them
in such pru lent measures as men of
their practical sense and acknowledged
worth are apt to inaugurate. We hope
to see them address themselves to the
work before them in that conservative
spirit which alone can bring content
ment to the people, and the prosperity
which is born of contentment, and that
in doing this they will forget all past
differences, and in all things seize the
good wherever they find it.

The Discovery of the Telephone
The telephone, or rather the princi
ple which it embodies, is by no means
so recent a discovery as some infer. In
1837 Page, an American physicist, dis
covered that the rapid magnetization
and demagnetization of iron bars pro-'
duced what he called “galvanic music.”
De la Rive, of Geneva, in 1S42, in
creased these musical effects by,operat
ing on long stretched wires, which
passed through open bobbins of insu
lated wire. In 1861 Philip Reis, of
Frederickdorf, produced. the first tele
phone which reproduced musical
sounds at a distance. - Cromwell;Yar
ley, in 1870, showed how sounds could
be produced by rapidly changing and
discharging a conductor. In lq!3
19117 Elisha Grap succeeded in musical notes
through a resonator, which he inven
1575 But Graham Bell, wh<f,»since 1872,
been industriously experimenting,
serves the largest shale' .of : credi
bringing the instiument into pract
operation for the transmission of
human voice. Now Mr. T. A. Edson,
cf New York, has so improved .upop
Bell’s machine that the varieties of *»>
human voice are reproduced withre-
markuble faithfulness.

Sound Reasons for I-'aitli-
The American people are shrewd
and observant. They are not often de
ceived by sham pretensions ; but when
they are, they soon discover their error.
If Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters had been
a sham, they would long since have dis
carded it; but finding that there was not
a claim put forth in its behalf that its
curative properties did not justify, they
immediately gave it the preference to
every article of its class. Time has only
served to strengthen their faith, and has
increased its popularity to an extent
almost beyond parallel, even in this age
of successful proprietary medicines. It
ranks foremost among the standard prep
arations of the day, and is endorsed by
the medical fraternity and the newspaper
press. It overcomes and prevents fever
and ague and other malarial disorders
with wondrous certainty, tones the system,
banishes dyspepsia, remedies constipation
and liver complaint, relieves gout,
rheumatism, and affections of the bladder
and kidneys.
A Fragrant Breath and Pearly Teeth
Are easily attained, and those who fail to'
avail themselves of the means, should not
complain when accused of gross neglect
The Sozodont will speedily eradicate the
cause of a foul breath, beautifying and
preserving the,teeth to the olfiestage.- -

wife the third day after the funeral of
the first, whereat the neighbors serenad

bells, to signify their indignation. Uncle
Jessie stood it as long as he conld, and

bridegroom,I think you ought to resDect
the feeling of a widower, the late part

ROME FEMALE COLLEGE.
T he scholastic tear will begin
first Monday in September* with an Ade
quate corps of experienced teachers.
An Academy of Music will be opened
st that time. It will be designed for
tho benefit of lsdiee who desire prep
srntions for teaching or Instructions
superior to those they can secure in the ordii
schools of tbe country. They cun obtain b<
ing in the college or with Pro£ Hints* who will
be its director. Under his instruction tbe pu
pils in the college clssses will enjoy musical
advantages which cannot be snrpsssed At any
piece in this country, Horth or South.
The Art Deportment* with Miss Fairchild At
its head, will continue to merit the Attention end
commendation it has received. Free band draw
ing* recently introduced and tanght to the whole
Bchool with wonderful success; will be con til
as a regular exercise for onr pupils.
Much earnest attention is given to writing
and compositions.
The institution* though founded by the synod
of Georgia, has not been under ecclesiastical
control for fourteen years. At all times and on*
dei all circumstance* its management has been
indicated and directed by Christian principles;
and yet it never was* it is not now* and it cannot
be sectarian.
The purpose of those who are identified with
its life and usefulness is to maintain its bij
character as an educational home, whereby t
wisest methods of instruction ana discipline*
the moet healthful and permanently advanta
geous results, may be produced.
While nf-rior to no similar institution* it
is cheaper than any of the b«st schools m the
