A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
The Pen Superseped by a Writing
Machine. It Paragraphs, Punctu
ates, Underscores, and Forms Any
Combination of Figures. Eighty
Words per Minute, and Twenty-
Four Manifold Copies at One Im
pression.
We were shown yesterday, in the
office of Col. E. W. Cole, President of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railroad, an invention which
claims something more than a passing
notice. It is called the Type-writer,
and is useful for all kinds of manu
script writing. A simple touch upon a
key produces a letter, and the action
is as easy as that of a piano ; conse
quently the speed with which writing
can be performed is only limited by the
celerity with which the operator can
move his fingers. There are experts
in the country who can already write
eighty words to the minute.
The writing is done in a small capi
tal, with either black or purple ink.
The latter is used when an impression
is wished for the letter-book, and the
result is far superior to the best pen
manship, being plainer and much more
compact, thus saving much time in the
reading thereof, besides the minor con
sideration of stationery.
It will take twenty-four manifold
copies at once, and four on ordinary
letter paper.
In appearance it is highly ornamen
tal, and not unlike a sewing machine.
The keys are in four rows, of eleven
each, so compactly arranged that but
little movement of the arm and wrist
is required for its manipulation. These
forty-four keys comprise all the letters
of the alphabet, the dollar and plus
marks. A bar in front of the key
buard makes the spaces, and a treadle
throws the sheet of paper to anew
line at pleasure.
The mechanism would be difficult to
describe in words. It is at once simple
and efficacious. The types are arrang
ed a circle, and strike a common center
upon the depression of any particular
key. The keys also act upon a sort of
ratchet-work, which releases the car
riage carrying the sheet of paper, and
an ordinary clock-spring carries it along
to a position ready to receive an im
pression from the next type. This
spring also carries along the spools
containing the ribbon covered with a
peculiar chemical substance, from which
the ink is obtained. The ribbons will
last until the whole surface is used
three or four years ; and can be readily
re-inked.
A treadle, as stated before, throws
the carriage to anew line and back to
the starting point. The distance be
tween the lines can be graduated at
pleasure.
The usefulness of the machine is ap
parent at a glance. Its speed will ra
pidly bring it into use wherever much
writing is to be performed. The re
sult—its plain writing—will commend
itself to those unable to write a good
hand. The number of manifold copies
that can be taken at once will be a
great desideratum to those issuing
circulars. The facility with which
bills can be prepared, and the beauti
ful result, will meet with the favorable
attention of merchants. To the law
yer it will be invaluable.
It will be of great use to phon©-
graphers. This costly service, so neces
sary in the courts, etc., will be cheap
ened. Already Eastern phonograph
ers have, since its adoption, reduced
their scale of prices, and now bring
their transcripts into court at 9 o’clock
the next morning. Instead of the law
yer having to wade slowly through a
mass of penmanship, often obscure, be
cause of the great haste required in
writing, he has before him large print,
and which he can* read as rapidly as
the characters in a book.
Wo learn from Mr. H. C. Carson, the
stenographer in the main office of the
N. C. and St. L. Railway, in this city,
that this machine was only introduced
iu its present perfect form last July ;
that 500 have already been sold, and
that the celebrated Remington Com
pany is at present engaged on a con
tract of 25,000; but so great has the
demand of late been for these machines
that the utmost capacity of their manu
factory is unable to keep pace with the
orders coming from all parts of the
country.
The machine is used by Mr. Carson
for the correspondence of the offices of
the President and General Superindent
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railway, to the exclusion of the
pen, and it gives perfect satisfaction.
It is so simple and complete in its
construction, and does its work with
such accuracy and dispatch, that it
must soon come into general use.
A Pitiable Sight.— Upon opening the
gentlemen’s waiting room at the depot
of the P. & E. Railroad, at Williams
port, a few mornings since, a strange
view presented itseir to the astonished
gaze of the person in charge. On the
floor, in a state of insensibility, Jay a
well dressed and lady-like woman
about thirty years of age. A little girl
about two years old nestled closely to
the breast of its mother, sleeping
soundly. Upon one of the settees a
young babe, probably a year old, had
been left to rest unprotected, and was
found hanging by one foot, which had
caught in the arm of the settee, while
its head rested on the floor. The child
was speedily rescued from its danger
ous position. After many efforts the
mother was roused from her deep
slumber, and partially restored to con
sciousness, but it was evident she had
partaken of too much “ cordial,” as she
called it. They party had come from
Elmira on the night train, and were
journeying for Pittsburgh, for which
point they left on the afternoon train.

THE FUTURE.
Another War Coming.
One short year ago the ascription of
third term leanings to the President
were either ridiculed or denounced. It
is now reduced to a certainty that he
is not merely resolved upon a third
term, but that he is plotting a civil
war to make sure of it. The South
does not propose to be made a party
to this. We have had war enough.
Nothing shall exasperate us into giv
ing the conspirators a pretext to make
a sectional issue. When the war comes
—as coming it is—it shall be a civil
war. The North must be the scene of
conflict, not the South. We have
touched bottom. We can not be worst
ed.. Adversity has united us, and we
wait the issue which the Radicals are
pressing upon the country with a de
gree of complacency, not to say
indifference. We have been there.—
We know all about it. With
in eighteen months we shall see either
a Presidential dictator, Supreme Mili
tary Chief of a Government conducted
by the White House, the army, and the
navy, or else we shall see the Northern
States given over to internecine battle;
for Grant means business, and has no
idea of giving up without a fight, being
no man for a foot race. The dolts who
see nothing until it has happened may
put this in their pipes and smoke it, as
they migrate from the blue bed to the
brown. Their circuitous journeys
around the barn yard doubtless seem
to them4he beginning and the end of
all things. Wait a little ; they have
sown the whirlwind and they will reap
the storm. They have sought to en
slave the white man in order to free
the black man. If they succeed they
will enslave themselves along with the
rest; the which means first a civil war,
and then a despotism, all having been
preceded by a sectional war, which can
never come again.
DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
A Poor, Unemployed Mechanic
Hangs Himself with a Chain-
Idle, Destitute Life too Bitter for
Him.
F. H. Sims, a carpenter at Daniels
ville, Dickson county, committed sui
cide a day or two ago, by hanging him
self with a trace chain, suspended from
the ridge pole of a small cabin adjoin
ing his residence. Mr. Joseph Nesbitt,
his nearest neighbor, stated before the
jury of inquest, that he went to Sims’
house that morning and sat and con
versed with him for some time, but
saw nothing unusual strange or excit
ing, either in his manner or conver
sation, except that he was not al
together as talkative as usual and
seemed to be rather in a some
what melancholy mood. Mrs. Fan
nie Sims, wife of the deceased,
stated that, after Nesbitt left, she lay
down and slept about an hour and a
half. When she awoke, she went out
to get some wood, aud saw her hus
band, as she thought, sitting on or
kneeling .by a chest of tools. She
called to him, and said “Darling, come
in ; are you not cold ?” He made no
reply. She then changed her position,
and saw the chain around his neck.
S:.e immediately ran into the house
and called to Mr. Nesbitt, stating that
Mr. Sims had hung himself. Mr. Nes
bitt obeyed the call, and ran forthwith
to the scene of the unnatural tragedy.
He confirmed the statements of Mrs.
Sims in regard to the situation in which
the body was found.
It is supposed that Sims’ utter des
titution, and his failure to get employ
ment as a mechanic these hard times,
led him to kill himself.
The Beecher Trial —A Side Issue.—
While the parties in interest seem to
be having a good time in court, with
hand-shaking, interchange of saluta
tions, and an occasional burst of laugh
ter, there are many homes in and
around New York that are filled with
dismay while the trial goes on. In one
of the wealthiest homes on Murray
Hill there is a young lady nearly crazed
with the incidental mention of her
name in connection with this case. She
is very talented, beautiful, the idol of
her homo and her friends. She took
a deep interest in the woman question
in its early stages, more from the Im
pulses of a benevolent nature than
from the desire to be prominent. She
thought there ought to be some open
ing for women who had brains and
talent, and in this movement she
thought she saw some chance to ele
vate her sex. She had no idea where
this thing would drift, nor what senti
ments would be agitated under the pre
tense of elevating woman. She got out
of the company as soon as possible,
but having touched pitch she was de
filed. The thoughtless use of her name
has filled her with terror, and
she weeps day and night lest the threat
be eai'ried out of putting her on the
stand.— Correspondence Boston Journal.

vertised for him in a daily paper. That
very afternoon an alligator crawled up
out of the swamp and died on the front
door step. In its stomach was found a
handful of red hair, some bone but

a pair of check pants, and a paper col

A CARGO OF TEA generally passes
through the hands of five or six par
ties before reaching the consumer, and, of
course, has to leave profit with each, thus
making yery “ dear goods.”
1 have a large assortment of TEAS, and
make a “ specialty ” of them ia my busi
ness, regarding the quality and price.
They are bought from the IMPORTER,
direct from CHINA and JAPAN, thus get
ting them from first hands, with only
freight and United States Receiver’s com
mission added to cost in China.
1 would say to the public they can rely on
the quality of my TEAS, and the price will
be LOW, because there is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in chests, at as low
rates as the same quality can be bought in
large cities.
One Dollar Will Buy
Two pounds of good Green or Black Tea,
four and a half pounds of good Rio Coffee,
