TALK ABOUT THE TICKET. !
i:t.\m> and BExnmcKS
THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE.
The "Rambler" Get* at the Popular
Sentiment—What Both Parties Have
to Say About the Nomination—HoW
Business Men Look at it—A Strong
Ticket and One that Will Win.
There was a good deal of talk on the
street yesterday about Cleveland and
Hendricks. The Morning Xkws Ram
bler met a good many people and heard a
good deal. It was all about the ticket.
There was a general feeling of satisfaction
that it had been nominated and the Ram
bler came to the conclusion, from what he
heard, that Cleveland would be the next
President of the United States by a big
majority. About everybody else thought
the same way, and the Rambler conclud
ed that he was right.
t * A New York man was standing in the
Screven House rotunda just before the af
; tercoon train went out, talking with a
! party of friends. Speaking of New York,
he said it would give Cleveland a hand
, some majority. He was unquestionably
; the best choice that could have been
made. As to John Kelly, he sahl. if anv
; other man than Cleveland had been
nominated, Tammany would have taken
j to itself the credit of defeating the will of
the party. By the nomination of Cleve
land the Democracy shows that it does not
intend to be dictated tc by any one man.
Tilden, he said, carried New York in 1876
without any of Kelly’s assistance, while
Hancock lost it in 'lß9u through Kellv’s
treachery.
The Rambler was walking down Bav
street past the City Exchange in the af
ternoon. and came upon a group of Aider
men. They were discussing the ticket,
like everybody else. “It was not exactly
my choice,” a portly member of the
Council was heard to say, "out it is a
good one, and will carry a substantial
majority with it.”
“I would have preferred Bavard
at the head of the ticket,” said
an active member of the Finance Com
mittee. "but Cleveland is equally accept
able, and his nomination will inspire a
confidence in business circles, where the
strength of the Democratic vote lies.”
“There will not be the defection among
the laboring classes that many suppose
I there will be,” chimed in another member
of the board. "It is hard to sav with any
certainty what Kelly will do, blit I believe
he will fall in and vote the ticket in the
end as he ought to.”
It was pretty evident to the Rambler,
from what he could bear, that there was
no disaffection in the Citv Council, and
that that body would cast’a solid vote for
the ticket.
Business men on the Bay are confident
of the situation, and are satisfied that
Cleveland’s nomination, backed by Hen
dricks, means a big victory for the De
mocracy in November.
Maj. D. C. Bacon said: “When the
convention met in Atlanta to select dele
gates to Chicago. I stated to several per
sons then that while Bayard was my
first choice I did not regard him as ait
available candidate, and that Cleve
land should be nominated, and, if
rissible, Hendricks for Vice-President.
was not sure then that the latter could
be induced to accept. I was in Atlanta
a day or two ago before the nomination
was made, and nineteen out of twenty
whom I met of the representative men of
North Georgia were for Cleveland. I
supposed that the National Convention
would nominate McDonald for second
place, but am glad that both the
gentlemen for whom I first showed a
preference have been chosen. Thurman
is a grand man any wav vou take him.
but there is no doubt that he was tinc
tured with the greenback idea, and that
would have given him a set back in the
Middle and New England States,
especially among the capitalists.
Cleveland is a comparatively young
man. who has shown qualities
as a leader, great independence and good
administrative and executive ability, and
I think he will make a good Piesident.”
Vice President Horace A. Crane, of the
Southern Bank, said: “I am no politician
and don’t wish to be quoted in that way.
I can only say, in common with every
Democratic voter, that I indorse the
ticket.”
Lewis Kayton, of the firm of Herman &
Kayton, provision dealers, said: “I think
it is an excellent ticket, and that it will
draw thousands of conservative Northern
men to vote it—men who prefer honestv
in life and politics to the rascally spoi’l
system now so much in vogue in the
country. It is sure to win, and in No
vember you will be surprised to see States
now counted in the Republican ranks fall
into line and go for Cleveland and Hen
dricks. Jlany of the business men of the
country are afraid of Blaine. They don’t
want war or a policy which gives an
intimation ot unsettling affairs. Cleve
land > s conservative, and his election
will not <li?iurb matters or cause un
easiness.”
'Yllll&tn Clifton, Esq., Chairman of tW
Democratic Congressional Committee, was
hurrying through Johnson square when
the Rambler overtook him and asked him
what he thought of the ticket. “It’s a
capital one,” was the reply. “I’m an out
and-out Cleveland man and have been
trom the start, and shall do all I can to
aid his election. Hendricks? Why he has
added strength to the ticket, and it will
go through the country booming.”
Waring Russell was walking up Bull
street, under the shadow of the custom
house, in company with a friend, when
the Rambler came up. “The ticket?”
was the first question. “It’s an admira
ble one. The nomination is a wise one,
and in my judgment the best that could
have been made. Cleveland will receive
the support of the conservative element
and will harmonize the whole country.
Kelly is the only obstacle, but with every
obstruction there is no doubt that the
ticket will be elected.”

per’e per’e;
| Kill u
I rail.
Col. Wm. Garrard was sitting in his
office when the Rambler sauntered in. “1
believe that the ticket is the strongest
that could have been nominated under
any circumstances. Cleveland is strong
in himself, and Ilendrieks adds to his
strength. I believe that Cleveland
will carry the Democratic party through
in November, because he represents a
government for and by the people. 1 be
lieve that he will do the best for the coun
try’s prosperity without regard to past is
sues. As to his carrying New York, there is
not a doubt in my mind that he will do it.
The platform is" the ablest and soundest
Democratic document that I have ever
read and it will attract the people.”
Mayor Lester -was heard to say that
Cleveland was not his choice, but since
the nomination had been made he be
lieved it meant victory for the Democratic
party.
Solicitor General Charlton said: “Bay
ard was my first choice, but I knew he
was not as" available as Cleveland. No
better nomination could,under the circum
stances, have been made. Hendricks is a
great power and will do some very effec
tive work during the canvass. The ticket
means honesty, and if the Independent
Republicans are sincere in their profes
sions they have no excuse for not support
ing it. If the Democratic party cannot
triumph under it I think they had better
disband and form new party lines.”
When the Rambler entered tbe custom
house everybody was too busy to talk.
Collector Johnston was out. The minia
ture bust of the “plumed knight” which
had adorned the customs department
since the Republican National Conven
tion was nowhere to bo seen. Somebody
said it had been hauled down since Cleve
land’s nomination.
Col. E. C. Wade, Deputy United States
Marshal, sat in his office pondering over
the situation. “I think the party could
have done better for themselves, but not
for us,” he said, after thinking the matter
over. “Hendricks weakened the ticket,
which a soldier would have strengthened.
The ticket is all right, because it means a
Republican victory.”
Col. A. N. Wilson. Collector of Internal
Revenue, came out from behind his desk
to say that the outlook was never better for
the Republicans. “Blaine,” he said, “is
already as good as elected. The only
thing that remains to be determined is his
majority. It wouldn’t have made any
difference who was, nominated, we are
bound to win.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 13, 1884.
THE FAST MAIL.
The First Train from New York To-Day
—The schedule Reduced to Twenty-Six
Honrs.
By the change of the schedule of the
Charleston and Savannah and Savannah,
Florid* and Western Railways,which goes
into effect to-day, the mail which leaves
New York at 4 a. m. and Washington at
11 a. m. reaches Savannah at 6:37 a. m..
Jacksonville at noon, Thomasville at 1:30
p. m. and Chattahoochee at 3:52 p. m.
By this arrangement not only is Savannah
largely benefited by the earlier arrival
of the mail from the North, but that sec
tion of South Georgia and Florida reached
by these lines participates in the same ad
vantages. It musf be borne in mind that
Palatka is but two hours from Jackson-
ville. and Ocala and Leesburg, j
points heretofore regarded as
distant interior points * in South j
Florida, by a judicious arrangement of j
the time card, will receive their mails on
the evening of the same day that Savan
nah receives hers. This is indeed a won
derful change to have been wrought *>o
rapidly, andindicates in some measure
the enormous strides that are beiug made
in the m arch of progress by railway sys
tems.
The schedule would be impossible of ac
complishment except for the great improve
ment in roadway and equipment that has
been so prominent a feature of the above
named roads since they have passed
into the hands of the present owners.
This has not been brought about except
by the expenditure of a large amount of
money, which the profits of years will be
required to make good again. Savan
nah and her trade, however, will reap the
benefits of the investments at once.
Ever since the inauguration of the fast
mail the Charleston and Savannah and
the Savannah, Florida and Western have
performed the service without any ad
ditional pay to their regular compensa
tion. and it is only now that their services
have received proper recognition in
the additional payment to be allowed un
der the recent appropriation made for
i the service by Congress.
THE FORDS.
Their Second Performance on Tuesday
Night.
Tuesday night the Fords will give the
second of their series of summer enter
tainments, presenting the beautiful
drama, “The Duel in the Snow,” and a
lively farce, “The Bungs.” The very,
best talent in the association will appear,
and the public may expect to witness an
excellent performance—one that has never
been surpassed by any amateur associa
tion in the South. Mr. Madison, the well
known scenic artist, has just finished
painting two complete sets of scenery
especially for these plays. The set in
tended for the “Snow Storm” is decidedly
one of the most realistic yet seen on the
Fords’ stage. The association has spent
no little money in putting their hall in
first class condition and engaging
the best talent. In addition to the
well known Savannah favorite. Miss Nel
lie Pierce, they have Mr. Harry S. Duf
field, one of the best leading men in his
business.
Miss Florrie Verne, who will also ap
pear, is sure of a cordial reception, and,
judging from the rehearsals of last week,
she will certainly share the honors with
the best of the cast.
Mr. Lawrence Hanley and Mr. F. M.
Readick have added new lustre to their j
already splendid reputations as actors, ■
and the public will have an opportunity 1
of seeing Mr. Readick in a comedy role— j
another triumph for this sterling' actor. !
The general verdict in regard to the Fords
6ince their first entertainment is that j
they are superior to the majority of com- 1
panies that visit Savannah. The hall |
has been arranged in sections,
making it much more con
venient for the audience.
The Fords have always been first to re
spond to calls for charity, and have stead
ily improved year by year until they stand
at the bead of dramatic associations in
the South. The members are gentlemen, j
some of them among the
staunchest of Savannah’s busi- I
ness men. In a financial
point they are in a healthy condition, and !
the citizens may count on nothing but !
strictly first class entertainments during
the season. Reserved seats are now on j
sale at Davis Bros, without extra charge, j
COOPER’S MOVEMENTS.
Detective Wetherhorn Discovers a New
Field of His Operations.
The Morning News yesterday reported
the arrest ot two negroes, one named
Cooper and the other Frank Williams,
both of whom were supposed to have been
concerned in stealing clothing from the
stores of Messrs. Meinkard Bros, and
M. Frank Jfc Cos.
Detective Wetherhorn returned yester
day morning from the Ogeechee District,
where he went on Friday with a search
warrant, and reported that he found a
number of pieces of clothing in a store
kept by a man named Smith, which the
latter said he had purchased from Cooper.
The goods had been sold to Charles Da
vis, a storekeeper in Liberty county, by
Messrs. Meinhard & Bros., and while
they were in the warehouse of
the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway in that county. Cooper,
it is said, broke in and stole’ them. Mr.
Davis, hearing that Cooper was in jail
here, had a warrant issued by a magis
trate in Liberty county for his arrest for
burglary. The warrant was presented
yesterday, when Justice Waring Russell,
Jr., withdrew the commitment for lar
ceny and turned the prisoner over to the
detective, who took him to Liberty
county last night tor preliminary exam
ination.
The porter, Frank Williams, asserts his
innocence and denies having been con
nected with Cooper. It is believed by
several that he will succeed in clearing
himself of the offense charged against
him.

ments of cotton every year from this point
amoun . between 3,<XW and 4,000 bales.
The crops of the county are more diver
sir. ed. as a rule, than those on the coast,
p -nd the farmers and merchants have an
air of prosperity. Crops of all kinds at
present are in a'promising candition, but
a great deal of extra labor is required of
the farmers to keep down the grass in
cotton, which is very prolific because of
the late heavy rains. The planters are
cheerful, however, ami say if the wet spell
is not succeeded by a drought they will
make good crops of cotton.
Sharon has been brought into promi
nence with the Catholics of the State dur
ing the past few years by the establish
ment of a school for little boys—the
Sacred Heart Seminary—in charge of
the Sisters of St. Joseph.’ The school has
grown rapidly in public favor since its
organization.’and the yearly examina
tions of the little boys attract many
visitors from the surrounding counties.
There was quite a number this year from
the cities of Savannah, Augusta, Macon
and Atlanta. The examinations took
place last week, and were most satis
factory to parents and teachers. The
scholastic year was brought to a close on
Monday night last by an exhibition in the
school room connected with the academy.
About 300 people witnessed the exercises.
The programme consisted of vocal
and instrumental music, recita
tions, dialogues, a tableau and
three little comedies, all performed by chil
dren, the majority of whom were under
12 years of age. The stage was tasteful
ly arranged, and the little actors were ap
propriately costumed for the various
characters they assumed. The acting of
the children was very pleasing to
the spectators. The entire exhibi
tion reflected great credit on the Sisters of
St. Joseph, and was an evidence of what
can be accomplished with little children
by kindness, patience and care. The ex
ercises were brought to an end by the
presentation of medals and ’ pre
miums to the children by Bishop
Gross, who closed with an address to the
scholars congratulating them and their
teachers on the successful result of their,
labors for the past year. He alluded to
the importance of education to the child,
and its beneficial influence on their future
life.
The medals were awarded as follows:
Gold medal, for general excellence, to
j Mi6s Viola Arnett, of Sharon.
Gold medal, for Christian doctrine, to
Master Norris Wilcox, of Macon.
Silver medal, for general excellence, to
Master Willie Purtell, of Atlanta.
Gold medal, for good conduct, to Mas
ter John O’Connor, of Augusta.

It seems very strange to other dealers
why we can afford to sell so much cheaper
and offer a much superior article to the
public than they do, but when once seen
into the matter it is not very hard to dis
solve. We purchase direct from the man
ufacturers who manufacture nothing but
for best retail trade. We can sell cheaper
because we sell more than others, and are
satisfied with very small profits. Those
who need such as Clothing, Hats or Fur

well to call on us, as we must close out
our entire stock before the beginning of

*ty Acres of Land Given to Each Male
Inhabitant—Township Privileges and
How They Were Granted—The Con
ditions Cpon Which They Were Held
—The Discoverer of the Law of Mag
netic Motion and What the Records
Say of Him.
The early history of Savannah Is full of
interest. The records dating back to its
settlement contain much that relates to
the city now. The Morning News, in
its interviews with Isaac Beckett, Esq.,
has given many interesting narratives of
the days when the city was a town and
its population, now over 40,000, was less
than 1,500. A reporter called on Mr.
Beckett yesterday and found him busy
compiling abstracts of old deeds and
records, which contribute to the volume
of valuable which he is en
gaged.
Upon being asked in regard to the orig
inal division of land when Savannah was
laid out, Mr. Beckett gave some interest
ing facts concerning the town, farm and
garden lots, and how thev were distrib
uted.
“When the town of Savannah was origi
nally laid out,” he said, “the Trustees set
apart to each male inhabitant of full age
one town lot—6o feet in width by 90 feet in
length—one garden lot of five acres adjoin
ing the town and one farm lot of nearly 45
acres. These garden lots were triangular
in form.every pair forming a square of ten
acres, and were designated as “garden lots
east” and “garden lots west,” the White
Bluff road or Bull street extended beiDg
the dividing line. In a short time most of
these lost their identity and became
merged in tracts bearing other names.
They were originally numbered from 1 to
164 on the east and on the west from 1 to
104. The line formed bv Gwinnett con
tinued was the southern’ boundary of all
the garden lots. A large number of the
lots west are now merged in the Spring
field plantation, and on the east in that
part of the city east of Lincoln street and
in the low grounds beyond.
FAIR LAWN.
“The original Fair Lawn property con
tained 640 acres, and was, at-one’ time,
owned by Richard Wyllv. The tract
was formed principally of the garden
lots east. Portions were sold from time
to time, until at last the term Fair Lawn
was applied only to the residence and ad
joining grounds of William P. Brown,
near the junction of East Broad and Gor
don streets. The owners of the original
Lair Lawn tract becameso numerous that
it is impossible to furnish a list of them
within reasonable limits.
“The farm lots lay south of the garden
lots, and extended on the east nearly to St.
Augustine creek, on the west about four
miles and on the south three miles. They
were laid out in wards, tvthings anil
trust lots, to correspond with the old
wards and tvthings in town: each ward
containing about four square miles of
land, one square mile representing a
tything and trust lot in the town, and'the
lots were numbered and otherwise desig
nated in unison with the town lots.
TOWNSHIP PRIVILEGES.
“Beyond the farm lots the Trustees laid
out several township privileges, of one
square mile each, Acton, Hampstead and
Highgate being among them. The lots in
these towns are of 50 acres each, and are
yet, in most cases, conveyed by their old
numbers and names.
DEED OF THE TOWN, FARM AND GARDEN
LOTS.
“A portion of a deed executed in 1733,
conveys to the original grantees the
town, farm and garden lots, and pre
scribes the conditions upon which the
same should be held. It is as follows:
“Now, know ye that we, the said Thomas
Christie and William Calvert, pursuant to the
said deed, and in pursuance of the said trust,
do grant and enfeoff unto John Goddard one
house lot in Wilmington tvthing, in Der
by ward, expressed in the said plan by No. L
containing 0 feet in front and 90 fec-t in
depth, and one garden lot containing five
acres, expressed in the said plot by No. 11,
lying southeast from the centre of the said
town; and one farm, expressed in the said
plot by No. 5 and letter A, in the said ward
and tythiDg, containing forty-four acres and
one hundred and forty and one pole, making
together fifty acres of land; to have and to
hold the said fifty acres of land unto him, the
said John Goddard, during the term of his
natural life, and after his decease then
to the heirs, inale, of his body for
ever. Upon the conditions and under the
express limitations hereinafter mentioned:
Yielding and paying for such town lot, earden
lot and farm, containing together fifty acres
as aforesaid, to the said Trustees for establisb
ing the colony of Georgia in America, and to
their successors, yearly and every year, the
rent or sum of two shillings lawful money of
Great Britain, the same to be paid to such
person or persons, and at such places in the
said town of Savannah, in the said Province
of Georgia, as by the Common Council (for
the time being) or the said Trustees shall be
appointed. The first payment to be made on
the first day of the eleventh year, to be com
puted from the day of the date of these pres
ents: Provided always, and these presents are
upon these conditions. That if it shall hap
pen that the said yearly rent of two shillings,
or of any part thereof, be unpaid by the space
of twelve (calendar months next after the day
of payment on which the same ought to be
paid as aforesaid, the holder shall be evicted.
HOW THE GRANTS WERE HELD.
“The grant required each owner to erect
within eighteen months from the date
there of one house of brick or framed
square timber work on the town lot, at
least of twenty-four feet in length, sixteen
in breadth and eighteen in height, and to
abide, settle and continue in the province
for and during the full term of three
years. They were also required, within
ten years, to clear and cultivate ten acres
of land, and to plant one hundred white
mulberry trees. The town lot conveyed
in the above grant is now covered" by
Sorrel’s building, southwest corner of
Bull and Bay streets; the garden lot.
number eleven, lies in the low ground
east of the citv, and the farm lot is on the
left ol the White Bluff road, nearly
opposite Dittmersville.
THE LOTS AT NEW DEPTFORD.
“I wish to correct a statement that ap
peared in last Sunday’s News. I said in
it that Nicholas Bayard established the
lots near Fort Jackson known as the New
Deptford wharf lots. The owner of that
property was Nicholl Turnbull, not Nicho
las Bayard. The latter was the owner ot
other property in that vicinity, but not of
the Deptford plantation. It is a matter of
little consequence, but for the sake of ac
curacy I wish the correction made. I
made the assertion at that time from
memory, and without referring to my ab
stracts.
“In connection with the wharf lot prop
erty, I will mention that the front of Hut
chinson’s Island, opposite the city, was
also laid out in wharf lots, about the year
1820. There are three other lots that I
neglected to mention—the old wind mill
site, just below tbe Eastern wharves, now
; owned by Capt. W. W. Gordon, and known
; as the Anderson wharves, and two other
; lots east of that, formerly known as part
the of Shandy Hall plantation. I believe
| this includes all the wharf property except
\ the wharves of the Central and Savannah,
j Florida and Western Railroad Companies,
1 owned by these corporations.
CURIOSITIES OF THE RECORDS.
“Among the curiosities of the records
may be found a singular agreement, ex
ecuted in 1818, between Joel Abbott, of
Wilkes County, Georgia, and Stephen and
Philander Hall, of Savannah. This agree
ment states that the parties mutually
acknowledge the fact that Joel Abbott
first discovered the law ot magnetic mo
tion, by which longitude was discover
able, and that he was the first man who
applied the principles to practice,
! and defined the longitude thereby,
“The parties to this contract agree to
j prosecute voyages, mature and perfect
j instruments, "and to use all industry and
; skill necessary to render the discovery of
i longitude bv "magnetism complete, and
! make it applicable to the common uses ol
j navigation. They agreed to take out
: patents, and hold the invention in all
! commercial governments where patents
1 might be made profitable to them as pro
! prietors.
“It appears that Joel possessed the
1 genius, and the two Halls the money
I necessary for the due development of that
genius, as the latter proposed to pay all
the expenses requisite for cai rying out
, the project, until the time should arrive
j when a net profit would result to the
! partnership. The records fail to show
! that this result was ever attained. No
money made by the firm was ever in
vested in lands in Chatham county, and
as the discovery ot longitude by mag
netism is among the lost arts, we can only
infer that the genius of Abbott became
exhausted, or that the bank account of
the Hall brothers succum bed to the pres
sure before the invention reached the
point of success.”

KEPT COOL BY ELECTRICITY.
’ The Curious Instrument That a Ger
man Inventor Uses Successfully.
A tall, stout man, of military aspect,
with a bronzed face full of fanatical in-
I tellectuality, his long hair brushed away
from his high square forehead, savs the
i St- Louis Republican, entered a saloon on
Walnut street the other day and called
! for a hot whisky toddy. He was dressed
j in heavy black broadcloth, but did not
j seem to be suffering from the heat. The
bar-tender looked astonished at the order,
but being accustomed to strange custom
, ers he said nothing, put some water on to
: boil and proceeded to mix the beverage.
Another customer was leaning languidly
' against the bar, vainly endeavoring to
get even with the weather by sucking a
lemonade through a couple of straws.
| The tall, warmly-dressed man noticed
that wonderment depicted on the other
J man's countenance.
| "You look surprised,” he said, with a
j Teutonic accent, “at mein order.”
“That’s so,” assented the other, with
the air ot a man too hot to say more.
“Oh, dat’s nodings. Loog here. I vas
| yust returned from Gape Goast Gastle, on
i de vest goast of Avrica. Shall I dell you
somedings dat shall make your fortune’s?"
"I should like to hear it,” drawled out
the other, finishing bis drink.
“Yell, come, haf drink mit me. You
take a hot viskey ? No? On, veil, gif der
shentleman anoder limonade. Come and
! sit down: I tell you all abowat it.”
Accordingly they retired to a small ta
| ble, and over the hot whisky and the lem
; onade, which were ordered more than once
at the listener’s expense, the German told
! the following tale:
“I vas yust coom back vrom der Cold
' Goast. I hat been der guest of Sir Sam
uel' Rowe, der Governor owat dere. Great
i man, Sir Samuel, big head, all brains.
■ Veil, I dell you. You vender vhy I trink
hot tings, und vhy I dress in tick clodes.
Yell, 1 dell you. De heat do not touch
me. I’m always cool. How? Yell, I got
a leedle tings I always wear mit me.
Electric battery, vat keeps me cool. See!”
The German pulled from his pocket a
small round instrument, in appearance
something like an old-fashioned turnip
watch.
“Dot’s a dvnamo generator. Goes by
glockwork. Now, look; dis gold watch
chain is made of gopper vire. You see it
goes rount my neck. Veil. I haf attached
to it at several points oder vires. Dey
vas connected mit liddle refreegerators
in different barts of mein clodes and
bodv.”
“Refreegerators!” repeated the other,
scarcely daring to seize the idea.
“Ya, dock! Refreegerators! I vas vear
" in’ ten liddle refrigerators abowat me all
de time undone liddle dynamo generator
keep dem all colt at once. Yen I vas in
New York I 6how my dynamo-refreegera
tor to Meester Aydison,’und he lafl' at me.
Oh, veil, 1 take de shteamer und go to
England. Dot’s de place. Dey buy up
eferytings dere if it’s invented in Ameri
ca. So I sell it all ofer, und den Igo to
de African Cold Goast und sell my little
dings out dere, Yery soon I links I coom
back attain und makes a batent. Und den
I hear dat dere vas an electrical exhibi
tion in Pheeladelphia. So I goes to Yash
ington und puys mein batent und cooms
back here to-day.”
“What’s the price of one of these
things?”
“Veil, day gost four tollars to manufac
ture. 1 sell you dis von I got for four tol
lars fifty.”
The temptation to be cool and drink hot
whisky and wear thick clothes was too
great to be resisted. In five minutes the
electrician was richer by $4 50 and the
other man was the proud "possessor of the
patent dynamo refrigerator.
As the latter left the barroom he heard
a voice, with a down East accent, say:
“Say, Jim, put a bigger piece of ice in the
next hot whisky you give me. The
dynamo refrigerator is out of order.”
The purchaser and victim still wears
summer toggery and clings to straws in
lemonade.
A NEW DIVING-BELL.
A Curious Contrivance for Scientific
Investigations at Sea.
MM. Imbert freres. of St. Chainond,
says Galignani’s (Paris) Messenger, have
produced a very original diving-bell,
which they have named “Neptune.” It
reminds one of Jules Verne’s Nautilus,
and is admirably adapted to its purpose
—scientific observations at sea. In form
the apparatus resembles a huge bottle.
It is 7m. 80in. in height, and 3 metres in
diameter. Its sides and neck consist of
two steel plates, 12m. thick, firmlv riv
eted and bolted together. The neck" con
tains a spiral staircase leading to the
three superimposed chambers below, and
is closed on the top by a steel cover
through which the tubing of a pump used
within for sinking or raising the diving
bell passes to the surface of the water.
The cover itself is bordered with India
rubber, to render the bell perfectly water
tight. The compartments are separated
from each other by steel sheets 25m. in
thickness, and supported by diminutive
columns and angles. The upper chamber
is furnished with reservoirs for com
pressed air, telegraphic and telephonic
apparatus, electrical piles, etc. Five eye
holes, filled with strong glass, enable the
engineers to look about on all sides. The
middle chamber is furnished with 14 eye
holes, with lenses for takingobservations,
and in the centre is a large lens, 80 centi
metres in diameter, to inspect the sea
bottom. The lower chamber contains the
lighting and ballasting apparatus.
The electrical machinery tor projecting
a light in all directions fulfills a two-fold
purpose, for the electrical rays will un
doubtedly attract the fish. The bell may
be let down to a depth of M 0 metres by
filling the ballasting chamber with water,
which is pumped out and filled with air
when the diver is at work.
What Do You Think He Thunk ?
“What do I think t cho thunk ?” Why,
the thinking refleeting man, to be sure.
He dropped into a certain establishment,
and seating himself in a cool spot, the fol
lowing thoughts were evolved: That there
are lots of business houses in tbe land
that now and then blazen the walls and
the newspaper columns with promises of
extraordinary reductions in prices. When
you call—the reply is—“We have just
closed out that lot,” or else will show you
some cheap trumpery or other and en
deavor in a very unbiblical spirit to “take
you in.” Simon Mitchell has made some
wonderful reductions in prices of his fine
clothing, but is confident enough to say
to you not to take his word for it, but come
and see for yourself. He has a few more
fine Dress and Business Suits than he
cares to “carry over,” therefore he is going
to sell them. Also a large line of Seer
sucker Suits for the hot weather. Mitchell
is in dead earnest, and if you need any
thing from clothing to a hat or collar, "a
big saving is in store for you. Everything
represented squarely. “No satisfaction,
no pay.”
That is what the “thinking man”
thought, and he thought right. Sign of
the Golden Arm, 159 Broughton street.
