Charleston to have the houses fortified
against attack, and my ultimate intention
was to go on to Richmond aud make that
acy the center of tny operations. The Lord
told me the negroes would commence rising
on Christmas day, and I wanted to get the
white people ready for them.” He
has traveled all over the country, and can
name correctly the mayor and chiof of

he has tonified, aud to all intents he has
successfullv carried out all ot his Rchemee.

offered—tear the person so registering shall
have placed over their doors ii la ge letters:
“K ofi on baud a registered pistol of the
six-ahooter variety. Trumps, t>ook agents,
and Drenchers, take warning.” Mr. John

I'apt. J. C. Drake, a popular conductor
of Americas, had a narrow escape from
serious injury at the hands of a crowd of
negh/es, wr.o boarded the cars at Americas
Tuesday. All of them had tickets but one,
and he refused to pay the full fare de
manded by Capt. Drake. Some words
jmssed between the two, when the negro
gave Capt. Ura.se the lie, and immediately
received in exchange a right-hander straight
from the shoulder. As iie struck the negro,
another one, who had b-on Sitting near the
conductor, rose and struck him a violent
blow. At this all the negroes drew kuftes
and made for Capt. Drake, who was un
armed, but defended himself a< best he
could until tho newsboy und tho pirier,
who were in tho car at t ie time, cime to his
assistance. The negroes offered no further
violence then, and things on etod down.

The directors of the eonfedorato horns
met at Atlanta Tuesday. Rians were sub
mitted for a building for the homo by Mr.
Downing of the office of L. B. Wheeler,
architect. The building is for sixty sleep
ing rooms, with recepti >n rooms, dining
rooms, laundry and kitchen. It is very
handsome, and is a combination of country
villa ami the old-fasbiooed southern home.
Lirgo white columns support the porticos
and grace the entrance to the home. The
building is only two stories high, and is to
be 240 feet long and about 75 feet deep.
Mr. Downing thinks it can bo built for
about $25,000. Mr. Kiser said be had
many applications for places in
the home, and that there are confederate
veterans suffering to-day for a comfort
able place in which toj live anil a com
fortable living. He thought tho directors
should at once build ten or twelve cottages,
and open them to the neediest cases. Capt.
Howell thought the main building should
be put up first. The people expect a line
building that shall be a monument to Geor
gia's gratitude to her veterans, and pro
vided with every c unfort, He thought the
work on the main building should be begun
at once, so that it could be completed by
next spring. Dr. Spalding was in favor of
putting up about ten cottages at a cost of
about SI,OOO each, with four nice rooms
and a kitebon, and opening them at once to
the old soldiers who need a home so bad.
Judge Calhoun argued that the main build
ing should be put up first, because the geo
plo who contributed to the homo would not
be satisfied to go to the grounds and find a
few cottages scattered hero aud there. The
h >me should bo tho nucleus for t he enterprise
and the cot ages should come later. S. M.
Inman suggested that it might be well to
begin the main building and ten cottages,
and carry on the work concurrently.
After further discussion it wns decided
that the building coimnitt o should
secure bids by next Saturday on the
plans and specifications as furnished by Mr.
Wheeler, aud open those bids in tho presence
of tho board. If they wore satisfactory to
proceed at once with the work. Treasurer
Komare reported $41,610 in sight, of which
about $37,000 was available as cash. Joseph
Hirsch is now organizing a confeierate
veterans’ fair for the month of December,
and hopes to make 25,000 for the home,

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1889.
THS LOUISIANA ELECTION.
What a Kansas Republican Congress
man Saw.
From the New York Evening Pott.
Washington, Sept. o.— Representative
Peters of Kansas, one of the three republi
can congressmen who went to Louisiana to
Witn- ss the campaign iu the Third district,
lias returned to Wasnington in order to
consult with tho President respecting fed
eral appointments at home. He speaks
with enthusiasm of tho way he was received
in the south by all classes.
“T ere are twelve parishes in the Third
I district.” said he, ‘‘and I was in only two
of t. em, but in those I met with nothing
but courtesy. 1 attended the democratic
meetings, and sat, by invitation, on tho
platform with Mr. Price and the other
speakers and prominent citizens. The next
night l w ould address a republican meeting
tr im the same spot.”
*' Were tnere any hostile demonstrations
at your meetings?” your correspondent
ashed.
‘•Nothing of the sort. So far as outside
app aran es were c incerued, the meetings
were just like northern republican meet
ings, except, of course, that the larger part
of tho audience was composed of colored
people. At one point I suppose I had
1,000 voters in attendance. At another,
where there had been lately some race
troubles, the number was about 500. But I
had just as g od places in which to make
my speeches as the democrats did, aud just
as g rid order was pres rved.”
“ Were you made to fool in any way that
your presence was obnoxious?”
“On the contrary, I dined at Mr. Price’s
(tho democratic caud date’s) own table.
From tne time I entered the district till I
left it, I was treated not only with hospi
tality, but with c rdia ity.”
“Did you say through election day, so as
to witness the method h of voting?”
“I came away at noon, but my observa
tions during the morui g were interesting.”
“Was the negro vote, us far as you could
ascertain, as solid for Price as has bean
represented by some of the newspapers?”
“Of that I could not judge, or course,
seeing so little of the district as 1 did. But
Mr. Price hims df told me that in his pre
cinct, where there were eightv-five voters,
all but five, white and black, voted for
him. Tiiis state of tliiugs may have had a
political i rigin, or tlio vote may have been
cast so solidly as a compliment to the per
sonal popularity of the candidate—l can
not say.”
“Was tho election fairly conducted?”
“On the outside it was just like north
ern elections.”
“You speak of ‘outside appearances.’ Did
you hear or see anything that led you to
suspect that these externals were decep
tive?”
11 That is something I should rather not
speak about. Iu case there s ould be a con
test, I want to be free to vo:w upon the evi
dence presented, unembarrassed by any
thing that might look like a prejudgment.”
“Do you think it probable that there will
be any conte-t?”
“I have no Id. a; Is oak merely of a pos
sibility, which always exists. So far as I
have been able to learn no determination
has yet been reached, and hence I could not
i ven gu >s at the groan Is on which a con
test would be based, if one wore made. I
wish \uu would say, by the way, that I
f mnd something in Louis ana more inter
esting than politics—namely, the sugar in
dustry. It is simply immense! I saw
enough to convince me that Louisiana has
merely to cultivate this native resource,
with such help as Kansas can offer with h r
sorghum crops, to supply the home markets
so richly that there will bo no call for the
importation of sugar from abroad. 1 give
the thing five years to expand, and then we
shall hear no more of the surplus in the
treasury from sugar duties, for there will
be no imports on which to levy a tax.”
Mark Twain’s Remains.
”. H. Stebbins, an old printer, gives the
New York World this unpublished remi
niscence of Mark Twain:
“It was when he was known only as Sam
Clemens. He was local reporter on the
Virginia City Enterprise , and I was a
pri iter on the same paper. Clemens was
writing humorous sketches, but his fame as
a humorist was young yet. He was an in
veterate smoker, aud smoked the foulest
smelling pipe in Virginia City, by all odds.
Clemeus’ office was just off tne composing
room, and although printers as a rule are
not squeamish about pipes and things, thi
pipe was breeding a revolution. It smelled
so infernally bad that we always spoke of
it os ";he remains.” There were
numerous plots suggested to get “the
remains” out of the way, but
we hesitated about putting them into
execution when wo learned that it was a
pipe ot cond terablo value, aud one that he
cherished on account of its associations or
something. It was clear, however, that
something hud to bo done, aud we finally
concluded to present Clemens with anew
pipe. We had suffered so much from the
old pipe of a thousand smells that we felt
justified in making him the victim of a
joke, if we could, and so we soourod tho
town and bought the cheapest pipe we
could find that would pass after nieht for a
good one. I think it cost us 30 cents. Oue
night, after we had the paper up, we all
filed solemnly out into the local room and
presented Clemens with the pip?. We
threw as much ceremony into the presenta
tion as possible. One of the boys made
an address that was really affecting. He
talked about the toilers in the profession of
journalism, their long nights of labor when
all the rest of the world was wrapped in
peaceful slumber. Then he worked iu some
of the poetry about tobacco, and the solace
it afforded the tired brain. He spoke of
tiie warm friendship that existed between
the local department aud tho composing
room, aud hoped nothing would over occur
to sever those silken ties. Then he handed
him the 25-cent fraud, wiped his fingers
through his eyes, aud sat down.
“Clemens was knocked completely out
for a time, but he pulled himself t gather
and returned h a thanks in a very feeling
manner. He said the pretty gift from his
c>- workers on the pap <r touched hjin
doeply, and bo would retain it long as a
souvenir of pleasaut days. The old pipe
ha 1 long been a friend and companion. It
had been a comforter in lonely hours; but
this handsome gift from friends tie loved
made the parting easy, and, as a climax to
his remarks, he throw the ill-smelting old
timer out of the window. We accepted his
invitation to go downstairs with him, and
knowing the miserable swindle we had per
petrated, every dollar he spent gave ui a
pang.
" lne very next night, while Cleme swas
smoking his new pipe, the bowl of the cussed
thing split open from stem to stern. We
heard him growling to himself, and looking
out of a hole in tiie wall through which he
shoved copy, we saw him brushing the ashes
off his desk and clothes, u’„d swearing softlv
in a very picturesque manner. He didn’t
say a word to us aumt the pipe or its fate,
and you be: we said nothing to him. It
was evident, however, that he bad done
something, for he appeared at the office
next night complacently smoking ‘The
remains.’ Ho bad gone down into the back
yard and hunted it up.”

EDISON STUMBLED ON IT.
How the Wizard of Menlo Park Hap
pened to Invent the Phonograph.
From the Xew York World.
“I have never seen m print a true account
of how Thomas A. Edison first conceived
the idea of the phonograph,” remarked au
electrician who was at one time ic the
“Wizard’s” employ, to a reporter. "The
phonograph is the wonder of the world,
and oue of the few inventions which envi
ous rivals have not charged Edison with
having stolen. In fact, even his bitterest
rivals for fame, all of whom appear to har
bor the idea that it is their duty to detract
from bis reputation for genius and honesty,
as a rule concede that Edison did
really invent the phonograph. It is au in
teresting story how he came to invent it.
Many years ago whoa Edison was still at
Menlo Park and working night a id day for
fame, he devoted months to perfecting the
telephone, and, undoubedly, did more than
any otner inventor to inane it practical by
introducing tho carbj.u plate into tho trans
mitter. While experimenting ou dia
phragms for the telephone, Edison had con
structed a number of small sheepskin
drumheads to tc-t tneir value as diaphragms
as compared with metal and other sub
stances.
“fo some of these sheepskin diaphragms
h ) bad attached a small metal nee io, which
was intended t) project toward the magnet
aud assist in conveying the vibrations
caused by the human voice. The sheepskin
di iphragms did not fu fill Edison’s expert a
tions aud he discarded them, and, as usual
with appliances ha decides to be useless,
they were tiirown aside to be removed with
other rubbish.
“His usslsta ts soon discovered that by
holding the sheepskin diaphragms in front
of their mouths and emitting a guttural
sound between the lips, a peeulia' noi a ap
proaching music could be produced. It was
something similar to the all god music pro
duced by covering a comb witu thin paper
aid humming a t une ou it. In passing oue
of the men engagea in playing on a diaph
ragm one day, Edison playfully attempted
to stop the noise by touching the projecting
metal pin with Ins finger, and no soo .er had
he douo so than he gave one of his peculiar
starts, ‘Eh I What’s that?’ said he, which
so as. o nished the performer that lie dropped
tiie diaphragm. ‘Do that ugain.’ said the
‘ Wizard,’ and it was repeated, and again
his ii ger touched the pin to his evident de
light. He went about for some lime asking
one after another of his assistants to hum
or sing against the diaphragm, and finally
ho got them to talking against it, he all the
time touching the piu ligiitiy with his
linger.
“‘I have it,’ said ho, finally, and he re
tired to his den and commenced drawing
diagrams for new machinery, whieh his as
sistants speedily made, affil a few days later
the first phonograph was put together. It
was a crude uffuir, the pin making an im
pression on wax and it tulko l imperfoedy,
but i: did well enough to show E lison that
he was on the right track, and he rapidly
improved it until now it is very- nearly per
fection. A hundred men might have felt
the vibration of that piu attached to the
piece of shee-'-skin. but it took tin Edison to
instantly realize tnnt the vibrations might
be made to indent a soft substance and be
suscvptiblo of producing tue exact sounds
of the human voice that caused the different
vibrations. The phonograph was regarded
as a toy at first, but it sold for $1,000,090 re
cently.
SPEED OF INSECTS.
A Fly Can Outstrip a Race Horse and
a Bee Outfly a Pigeon.
A writer in the St. James Gasetfe says:
“It has been computed that the common
house fly in ordinary flight makes 600
strokes per second and advances twenty-five
feet: but that rite of speed, if the insect
be alarmed, may be increased six or seven
fold, so that under certain circum
stances it can outstrip the fleetest race
horse. It is no uncommon thing to see a
bee or wasp endeavoring to get in at a
window of a railway tram in full spaed, and
it is calculated th it if a small insect can fly
faster than a race horse can run, an insect
as large as a horse would bo able to travel
as fast as a cannon ball,
Lean weuholk relates an exciting chase
which he beheld in a monagerie, about 100
feet long, between a swallow and a dragon
fly—among the swiftest of insects. The
insect flew with incredible speed, and
wheeled with such address that the swal
low, iu spite of its utmost efforts, completely
failed to overtake and capture it. A pigeon
fancier of Hamme, iu Westphalia, recently
made a wager that a dozen bees liberated
three miles from their hive would reach it
in better time than a dozen pigeons would
reach their cote from the same distiuce*
The competitors were given wing at
Khybern, a village nearly a league from
Hamme, aud the first bee reached home a
quarter of a minute inadvance of the first
pigeon. Three other b >es reached the goal
before the second pigeon, the main body of
both detach neats finishing almost simulta
neously an instant or two later. Tho bees,
it mav be mentioned, had been handicapped
in the race, having been rolled in flour be

CUTICURA RKMEIUES.
PIMPLES TO SCROFULA.
A Positive Cure for Every Skin,

Except Ichthyosis.
Psoriasis S years. Heail, arms and breast a
solid scab. Back covered with sores.
Best doctors and medicines fail. Cured by
Cuticiira Remedies ala cost of @3 75.
1 have used the Ccticcra Remedies with the
best results. I used two bottles of tho Ci TicritA
Resolvent, throe boxes of Cuticira and ono
cake of Ccticcra Soap, and aril cured of a ler
ritile skin and scalp disease known as psoriasis.
1 had it for eight years, it would get belter
and worse at times. Sometimes my head would
boa soiid scab, and was at the time I began the
use of the Ccticcra Remedies. My arms wer e
covered with scabs from my elbows so > boul
ders. my breast was almost one solid scab, and
my boot covered with sores varying in size
from a penny to a dollar. I hail doctored with
all the best doctors with no relief, and used
many different medicines without effect. >ly
case was hereditary, and. I began to think,
incurable, but it began to heal from the first ap
plication of CunccßA.

I am thankful to say that I have used the
Cvticuha Remedies for about ei;ht months
with great success, and consider myself entirely
cured of salt rheum, from which 1 have suffered

cines and two of the best doctors iu the coun
try, but found nothing that would effect a cure
until 1 used your remedies.
