Taking Disease by Storm.—The com
mon idea of disease seems to be that it is an en
tity-something in a solid, fluid, or gaseous
form, which creeps into the system and riots
through its recesses, the veritable disease whioh
must be expelled by main force. This idea has
been the death of countless multitudes, and es
pecially of children, who, having no reasoning
powers and being unable to express their feelings
are physicked by parents who know no more of
the nature of disease than their unfortunate pati
ents. Now, disease, instead of being a something to
be driven from the system, is a departure of the
system from its regular healthy action, a de
rangement of the functions of some organ, and
this derangement is generally caused by some
wrong habit of living, some error in diet, change
of weather, improper clothing, or something of
this kind. In most of these cases all that is nec
essary is to correct the habit, removing the cause,
when Nature will right herself and the effect will
disappear. Bet let the disease be regarded as a
something to be expelled and the first thing is to
give some pretty active medioine, while the er
ror in diet, the improper clothing or the real
cause of the disease whatever it may be, still con
tinues to operate. ‘Consequently,’ says one of
our standard medical writers, ‘many children are
thus carried off by medicine alone, who might
have been restored to health by patient and well
directed care, without the aid of the apothecary.
It is the commonest of all remarks heard in the
nursery, that the child was uneasy, or griped,or
feverish, and I gave it so and so, without the
slightest allusion being made as to why it was
uneasy or feverish, or whether anything was
done to remove the offending cause.’ And then
he makes this emphatic declaration: ‘In my
opinion a more pernicious habit than that of
constantly giving medicine to children does not
exist, and I would hold the mother or nurse who
should make frequent use of it without advice,
as utterly unfit for the duties imposed upon
her.’ Lbt mothers remember this, then: that
disease is derangement of the functions ot some
part of the body, resulting, in the great majority
of cases from some violation of the laws of health.
When a child or any other member of the fam
ily gets sick, instead of falling to dosing, the
first thing is to cast about for the cause. Let all
the circumstances of the patient, past and pres
ent be reviewed. Inquire as 'to the quantity
and quality of the food and drinks, the purity
or impurity of the air—its temperature, the prob
able influence of sadden changes, etc. Look
also to the dress, its correspondence with the
season and condition of the patient. Examine
into the condition of the skin, bowels, etc. If
the patient has eaten too much, starve him for
awhile or shorten his allowance instead of giving
an irritating purge to-day and then continuing
to-morrow the same diet that caused the trouble.
If feverish, instead of liver medicine, tartar
emetic or ipecac, put him into a warm water bath,
a wet sheet pack, or sponge him with warm or
tepid water, put him to bed and let him be quiet;
and in all probability he will be well in a few
days without a single dose of medicine. If the
weather is cool and the legs, breast and arms are
not protected by good, warm clothing, as they
should be, then put on the proper covering to
these parts, and in most cases no more is neces
sary to be done. How safe and simple such a
course, and bow far superior to the murderous
method of drugging usually pursued!
THE PHONOGRAPH.
How It Is Operated—Tin Foil Speaking Like
s Human Being.
Duties of Xurses — In such an article as
this it cannot be expected that I should give all
the details of what constitutes a good nurse;
but I will mention some points for the special
benefit of mothers, who are nurses by force of
circumstance, if not by nature and education.
When a physician is called in, his instructions
should be obeyed. If he is competent for the
duties of his profession, he will, so far as pos
sible, in his direction anticipate every contin
gency that may arise during his absence, and
will make his prescription so as to meet it.
When this is not done, there is good reason for
supposing that the physician is not as careful,
or as competent as he should be; and when the
result shows this to be the case, the nurse is
justified in suspending or modifying the treat
ment, till his return. But let no more than
this be done. The suggestion of officious friends
who have seen ‘just such a case’ sucessfully
treated with *such and such’ remedy, should
be rejected. Either follow the attending physi
cian’s prescription or discharge him. To do
otherwise is neither just to him nor to the pa
tient. As to the numerous remedies proposed
by friends, some of them are injurious, and
many are useless; and there are but few cases
that will not do better for a few hours, at least,
without than with them. Often, rest from medi
cine is the best treatment.
When the treatment has been suspended or
changed, the physician should be fully inform
ed of it on his next visit, together with the rea
sons. After doing this, any suggestion of the
nurse or friends as to treatment may be made to
the physician; and if he is a sensible man, he
will act on it, if worthy. The next, and greatest
duty of a nurse is to closely observe and cor
rectly report the symptoms and progress of the
case during the absence of the physician. Moth
ers should either do this themselves, or they
should have a faithful nurse at the bed-side, who
will report to them such changes. Such habits
of close observation require time and attention;
but those who cultivate them will be greatly
aided in the domestic treatment of disease; and
the treatment of a physician with such a nurse
will be much more likely to be successful.
In making their report to the physician,
mothers should guard especially against extrav
agant or exaggerated statements, into which
they are likely to be betrayed by the intensity
of their feelings, or by the want of a correct
knowledge of the precise import of the words
they may use. This kind of exaggeration is more
’ excusable but not less injurious in its effects
than that which arises from a willful misrepre
sentation for the purpose of deceiving the phy
sician. This is done to awake greater solici
tude on his part, so that he may give more at
tention to bis patient; or the mother does not
exactly like the treatment and would have it
changed, and therefore, prompted by Buch mo
tives, she is rather extravagant, if not positive
ly false in her report of the symptoms or the
action of the medicine. To say nothing of the
immorality ot such conduct, the physician may
be induced to change his treatment when no
suoh change is required, thus endangering the
safety or even the life of the patient. Let moth
ers then, closely observe and correctly report
in every case, giving a plain, simple and truth
ful account, carefully choosing their words so
as not to mislead.
Opening day of the Exposition was a grand
turmoil. It was, in truth, peoples’ day: demo
cratic enough to suit the most developed taste
on your side of the water. Students, ouvriers,
shopkeepers captured Paris; and proved for
once that franco has freedom under her Itepub-
lic. Noisy orowds with Chinese lanterns, and
shouting ‘le Marseillaise,' drove all others from
fought ana cursed for the
.right of way; and the police seemed to have
‘lost their awe-raising influence.—Paris Letter.
We copy the following fine description of the
phonograph from the Atlanta Constitution:
The phonograph is here at last. And Atlanta,
recovering from the mortification that seized her
when she found that Augusta and Macon had seen
it before, is lifting her eyes slowly and looking at
its wonders.
WHAT THB PHONOGRAPH IS.
The phonograph is, to all appearance, simply a
piece of iron roller mounted on a windlass. It is
surmounted by a mouthpiece, inside of which are
arrayed a few needles. Just underneath these
needles, wrapped closely around the roller, is a
sheet of tin foil. The voice of the man who
speaks to the phonograph shouts in this mouth
piece. The waves of his voice, striking against
the needles, impinge them against the tin foil and
make little perforations therein. The roller must
be turned slowly and regularly as the voice is
poured in through the mouthpiece. When it is
desired to reproduce the voice, the phonograph is
turned and the words are sounded distinctly and
in fac-simile.
THE RESULT OF THE EXPERIMENTS.
There is no doubt that the phonograph exceeded
the expectations of those who saw it. The exper
iments made succeeded wonderfully. The first
words spoken to it were these: “Mr. Phono
graph, will you talk?” A breathless pause suc
ceeded this question. The operator then turned
the roller steadily, and from the depths of the
phonograph came the words, in ghost-like, metal
lic tones, ‘‘Mr. Phonograph, will you talk?”
There was something actually uncanny about it.
The few spectators looking wonderingly in each
other’s faces, and Harris turned pale to the roots
of his hair, which was a pretty good pale. It
almost surpassed belief, that this instrument could
so reproduce the sounds of the human voice
The operator then barked in it, and when he
turned the crank you would have thought thrt he
was turning it over the toes of an imprisoned dog.
He sung into it, and the tune was reproduced with
startling distinctness, with all the inflections. A
cornet solo that was poured into the instrument,
from the lips of some musical Maconite, was then
reproduced, and gave great delight to the crowd.
The song of “Old Uncle Ned” was then sung to
the foil and a tune whistled in over it. The song
and the whistle were then reproduced simulta
neously. The marvelous instrument then crowed,
prayed, laughed, whooped, coughed, and issued
every sound that the human voice was capable of
suggesting to it.
The tones of the voice are perfectly reproduced,
and the accent memorably preserved, but the vol
ume of the voice is much less than in nature. The
gutteral sounds are occasionally indistinct, but
words spoken into it clearly oan be heard across
a large room very plainly.
Professor William Henry Peck spoke a Sbak-
spearian quotation into the phonograph, and every
sound of his voiee was reproduced with perfect
distinctness, even the catches that he purposely
threw in being duplicated. In pronouncing the
word “rat” he rolled his “r’s,” and the machine,
in reproducing the word, would have made a
Frenchman ashamed of himself. The machine is
a veritable wonder, and every citizen of Atlanta
should be sure and see it;
a $400 000 LIFT.
There are no phonographs for sale. There are
only forty in existence, all of them being used
for exhibition purposes. Of these twenty-five are
in America and fifteen in Europe. The right to
exhibit them has been sold at enormous prices.
The one in Boston sOtd for 510,OOO, ana it is
probable that every one brought this much. If this
is so, the first 40 machines will yield the invent
or $400,000.
Edison was born in America, about three months
after his parents reached this country. He was
very poor for the most of his life, and it is said
that he had very little business talent. He failed
once, however, for about §300,000, which argues
a very high order of talent. He is now worth
probably a million dollars. He has an annual
income from the Wettern Union Telegraph Com
pany of §50,000 for certain inventions of his that
they are now using. The Western Union Com
pany has agreed to take 12,000 of these machines
as soon as they are perfected, and to pay him
S120.000 per annum for the use of them. Their
idea is to combine them with telephones, and
speak dispatches instead cf sending them through
instruments. Edison has now 121 patents, every
one of which is connected with telegraphy or elec
tricity, every one of which yields him some in
come.
A QUESTION OF LANGUAGES.
In Augusta, Mr. Morey succeeded in having
nine languages spoken into the machine, and in
Savannah eleven languages were spoken. Atlanta
must decidedly outdo these towns. Prof. Peck
has already led off with some English, Irish,
Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew,
Chinese, Indian, and nigger. A half dozen lan
guages can doubtless be added to these.
THE USES TO WHICH THE PHONOGRAPH
can be put are infinite. The proprietors propose
to print books upon the tin foil. A single sheet
of foil will take a book of 400 pages, and it can be
read off to a family instead of them having to read
it. A book done up this way will cost only 10
cents.
The machine will do away with stenographic
reporters. It is now so perfected that it can be
set nine feet off from a speaker and drink in and
record every word and every inflection that he
uses, so that it can be unwound at pleasure. It is
already being put in clocks so that they will call
out the hours instead of striking them. It can
call out instructions at any time of the day so
that a person can be reminded of wlat he must do.
A speaker can have his thoughts bottled up and
distributed at pleasure. A lecturer can speak his
lecture in it and have it unwound simultaneously
in a dozen cities. An opera troupe can sing an
opera in it, and a manager can then carry his
troupe in his trunk, unwinding a little Parepa
Rosa and Aimiee at announced intervals. A
preacher can load a phonograph with a dozen ser
mons and then go off on a vacation and let his
thoughts be returned Sunday after Sunday.
Altogether the phonograph is the marvel of the
century. No man should fail to see it. The cost
of admission is only 50 cents, and it is worth
twice that amount.
When they are regularly manufactured the cost
will be only $25—and then no family will be com
plete without one. But until that time arrives, it
is more than worth the money to go and see it.
Abraham’s Argument Against
Idolatry.
Dr. Mary Walker is again abroad, and like the
turtle, her voice is heard in the land. She is
the best-dressed man on the streets, and her
Summer suit of gray plaid is ‘nobby.’ She was
in Potter’s committee-room on Friday, and gave
the ‘boys, of the press-gang a first-class lecture
on smoking. They all agreed with her but did
not stop smoking. I find she has not yet got
her pay, but I am told that she will, and, al
though we may not all of us approve of Dr.
Walker’s theories, she deserves this, and is clear
ly entitled to it by law and justice.

[From our Book Jashar.]
And in the fiftieth year of his life, Abram went
forth from the house of Noah, to return unto the
house of his father. And Abram knew the Lord
and he walked in the ways of the Lord and in the
teaching of the Eternal. And God was with
Abram. And Terah his father, was still com
mander-in-chief of Nimrod’s army in those days,
and he was yet addicted to worshipping strange
gods.
And when Abram returned unto his father’s
house, he saw there the gods of his father, twelve
in number, each having a chapel of its own in his
father’s mansion. And Abram s wrath was kin
dled when he saw these twelve idols in the pater
nal house, and Abram said : So may the Lord who
created me do unto me now and in all future, if I
shall not break them all to pieces within the next
three days. And while his wrath was burning
within him, Abram left the house of the idols and
hastened into the court of the house, and he found
his fatner there surrounded by all his servants ;
and Abram sat down before his father. And
Abram asked his father, saying: May it please
thee, my father, do let me know which God hath
created the heavens and the earth and all the sons
f man, and who is the God that created thee, and
me also,in the earth? And Terah replied : They
that created all these things are all in my house.
Then Abram said ; Wilt thou please to Show them
unto me, my lord ? iAnd Terah conducted Abram
into the innermost •Court, into a large chamber,
and Abram found it filled with idols, gods of wood
and of stone. And there were twelve'•erv lai ge
gods among them, and the rest were smaller ones
beyond number. And Terah said unto Abram :
Behold, my son, these are they that have created
all that thou seest in this world, as also thee and
me, and all the sons of man. And thus saying.
Terah bowed down before every one of his gods,
and then he left the chamber and be took Abram
along with him. And when Abram had left the
house of the gods, he hastened ncto his mother
and said unto her : Behold, my fatnsi hath shown
unto me those that have created the heavens, the
earth, and all the sons of tpan. And now I pray
thee, hasten and take a irjfil from the sheep, and
prepare of it a savory meat, so that I may bring
it as an offering unto the gods of my father, that
they may eat thereof; perhaps that thus I might
find grace before them. And his mother hastened
to take a k d from the midst of the flock, and she
made thereof good and savory meat, and she
brought it unto Abram. And Abram took the
savory meat from the hands of his mother, and
brought it before the gods and he served it for
them, as if inviting th^to to eat thereof. But there
was no sound and no I'otion, nor did any one put
forth a hand to take ild eat. And Terah knew
nothing of what Abram hath done. And Abram
at quietly in the house of the gods, but seeings
that the gods were not willing to partake of his
offering he said : May be that I have brought
too little, or perhaps my offering is not of the kind
to be acceptable unto them. Now therefore, to
morrow I will prepare much more and better meats
than those I brought to-day, to see what the end
thereof will be. And in the morning Abram in
structed his mother concerning the offering he had
decided upon, and his mother took according three
kids from t he flock, and she made thereof savory
meats as it was the desire of her son, and she
placed them in the hands of her son Abram, un
known to Terah his father. And Abram took the
savory meats from the hands of his mother, and he
carried them into the chamber of the gods. And
he divided the meats among the gods and he
placed a dish before every one of them, and he in
vited them to eat of his offering. And Abram
seated himself before them, and tarried there the
whole day to see whether they would eat or not.
But there was no sound, and no motion, and none
of the gods put forth a hand to taste of the savory
meats before him. And the spirit of God came
over Abram, on the evening of that day, and he
cried out in the midst of the house : Woe unto my
father, and woe unto this entire wicked genera
tion, whose hearts are bent upon vanities, to
worship idols like these here, made of wood and
stone; images that can neither eat nor smell, and
neither hear nor speak. They have a mouth but
cannot speak, eyes and cannot see, ears and can
not bear, hands and cannot grasp, feet and cannot
walk. Like unto them may be all those that make
them, all those that serve them and bow down be
fore them. And Abram became very wroth at his
father, and he hastened and took an axe, and hur
ried into the chamber to the gods of his father,
and broke them all into pieces. And when he had
broken them to pieces, he put the axe into the
hands of the largest god, which he did not break,
and he left the chamber hastily. And Terah heard
something like blows with an axe, and he hurried
into his house, and behjfid the noise came from the
hall of his gods. And Terah hastened into the
chamber to ascertain the cause of all that noise,
and he met Abram just coming out of tho chamber.
And when Terah entered the house of his gods,
he saw all his gods shattered to pieces, save the
largest one of them which held the axe in his
hands ; and Terah saw alst the savory meat offer
ings before each of the idols. And seeing that
great destruction, Terah’s wrath kindled within
him, and he ran out unto Abram. And he found
him and said unto him : What hast thou done
unto all my gods ? And Abram replied unto Terah :
Not so my lord, but I have brought a savory meat
offering before them. And whilst I came before
them with the meats, each of the gods put forth
his hand to eat. before the largest god could take
some for himself. And the large god saw their
ill-manners and his angor rose and he seized the
axe which was in the house, and he went and
broke the smaller gods all to pieces. And behold
the axe is in his hands even now. And Terah
grew exceedingly angry at his son, and he scream
ed out bitterly ; What is it that thou art saying?
Darest thou to comet with such lies before thy
father? Wilt thou t-fr to make me believe such
things, as if I did not "know that these gods have
no soul, and no spirit, and no strength within
them? For are these gods anything but pieces of
wood and stone which I myself have shaped into
images? And now darest thou tell me the lies
that the greatest god among them hath broken all
the other ones to pieces, while it is thou that hath
done all that mischief, putting finally the axe into
the hands of the greatest of the gods, to deceive
me. And Abram replied unto his father, saying .
Now, if thou knowest all that, how canst thou
worship these idols which have neither strength
nor power to do the least thing? Can those idols,
in whom thou trusted, save thee in the hour of
danger, can they hear thy prayers when thou
eallest upon them, or can they deliver thee from
the hands of thine enemies, and fight thy battles
for thee, that thou art worshiping those images
of wood and stone, which can neither hear nor
speak ? And now it is not good for thee to do
these things, nor for those men that are attached
unto thee. Have ye all lost your reason and be
come fools to worship wood and stone, while ye
are forgetting the Lord your God who made the
heavens and earth, and who hath created you in
the earth? And why should ye summon upon
your hftads the great evil which must follow the
worship of wood and stone ? Have not your fore
fathers acted in the same way, in times of old, un
til the Lord had brought *»»«■ ?hem the waters of
tho flood to the destruction oi me wnole earth.
And now, how can ye reasonably do again the
nor deliver you from trouble, while at the same
time ye invite the anger of the Lord against your
souls and upon the souls of all your household ?
And now, my father, do abstain from doing these
things. Thus saying Abram harried and jumped
iowards the big idol, took tho axe from its hands
and chopped the god to pieees in the presence of
Terah, his father, and then Abram took flight.
Where Dickens Fails.
While Dickens has added a flood of people to
the population of the world, he has not added
one to the lofty rank where dwell the best of hu
manity. He has given ns the most amusing
fools that his generation knows, the most oharm-
ing genial people in difficulties, the mo9t intol
erable and engaging of bores. But he has scarce
ly left us one character which is above ridionle,
or of whioh we think with a smile and a tear
miDgled, as it is the highest boast of your true
humorist to mingle smiles and tears. Not to as
cend to any Shakespearian heights, there is not
even such a light as Uncle Toby shining out of
his pages; there is nothing like Thomas New-
oome. He tries hard, and strains, and makes
an effort to cover the deficiency; but what he
produces is sham, not real—it is maudlin, not
pathetic. His highest ideal has a quiver, as of
semi-intoxication in its voice, its virtue is smug,
self conscious, surrounded by twittering cho
ruses of praise. There is not a woman among
the many in his books that wonld bear putting
up by the side of the women who are to live for
ever; and how strangely wanting must be the
man of genius who cannot frame one woman at
least worth placing in the crowd where Una is !
This is the strange drawback, the one huge de
ficiency, which must always limit the reputa
tion of the much-worshipped novelist. Mrs.
Gamp, no doubt, is great, but she will not
serve our turn here. He has represented with
the most graphic and vivid clearness almost ev
ery grade of the species Fools. He has painted
ridiculous people, silly people, selfish people,
people occupied with one idea, oddities, eccen
tricities, a thousand varieties—but among theaa
he has never once stumbled upon the sim
ple, true, ideal woman, or any noble type of
man.
Looking at Dickens’ real power, his undenia
ble genius, the wonderful fertility of his imagi
nation, the spectator asks with a certain sur
prise, how is it that he never fell upon one such
accidentally, as we do in the world ? The won
der seems how he conld miss it. But miss it
he did, with the curious persistency of those
fate-directed steps which are fain to enter any
into every path but one. This is the first char
acteristic of Dickens among his compeers ia the
world of literature. He has given us pictures
as powerful, individualities as distinct, as any
have done. Perhaps he has added to our com
mon talk a larger number of side reflections
from the thoughts and experiences of fictitious
persons, than most writers, even of equal power.
But he has not created one character so close to
us, yet so much above us, that we can feel him
a positive gain to humanity. Now, when we
make this complaint and accusation against the
novelist, we are by no means setting up the ideal
above the real, or demanding of heaven and i
earth a succession of Grandisons. Far be the ]
thought from our mind; fo~ one hero there must !
always be, no doubt, a hundred valets, with a ]
variety and play among them such as many peo- 1
pie can appreciate a great deal better than they !
could appreciate the bigger nature. Let us
have the valets by all means; but the writer who
can set only valets before us cannot be placed
in the highest rank.
It must be understood that the difference be
tween the mind which makes ‘the gentle lady
wedded to the Moor’ the central light in the
picture, and the mind which places Mrs. Gamp
in that position, is not a difference of degree,
bat one of kind. The latter may be amusing,
versatile, brilliant, and fall of genius, bat it is
clear that the best he can do for his race is a
best which is infinitely beneath the other. He
knows of no hidden excellence, no new glory
which he can bring out into the light of day;
he finds no stars in the half-discovered skies,
nor even.the violet hidden by the mossy stone.
He can do a hundred other clever and wonder
ful things, but this he cannot do; he has a ban
dage upon his eyes, a feebleness in his hands.
He can identify and realize, and pour floods of
laughing light upon all the lesser objects; but
the central figure he cannot accomplish—it is
beyond his power. And we cannot but think
that Dickens himself must have been aware of
his own limitation on this point. The struggle
and strain of which we are always aware in the
working out of his good characters, show some
thing of that suppressed irritation with which
a workman strnggies against his special imper
fection. — Blackwoods Magazine.

ber of the recent graduating class cf Wesleyan
Female College:
The salutatory address to the trustees was de
livered by Miss Emily S. Willet, of Macon. With
perfect ease and composure she read a compo
sition abounding in the most beautiful and
chaste diction. In her voiee was an earnestness
which showed she deeply felt the importance of
the hour, and her soft, sweet voice will be one
of the sounds which liDger with the other melo
dies of the commencement. The matter of the
address was very appropriate.
At its close the handsomest array of tributes
we have seen was offered the fair salntatorian.
