An Attempt to Outrage.
Wo understand from a gentleman who
lives noar.Waverly Hall, Harris county,
that on Tuesday last as a young lady of
the neighborhood was passing from her
father's to her brother’s residence which
was but a short distance, she was con
fronted in the road by a large black ne
gro man carrying a gun, who mailo an
assault, wtyh tlondish purposes, upon her
IKjrson. Ifbr cries brought to hor assis
tance some persons who wore working
near by in a Held, and scared tho wretch
to tho woods before he had accomplished
his designs. Tho negro seems not to
hare been known to the lady, but it is
thought ho cun be easily identified, and
the whole neighborhood turned out to
effect his capture. Up to last accounts
however, no capture had been made but
search was continued. A short future
should bo allowed such criminals.
A Change of Base.
We understand that Capt. 8. J. White
sides, who now controls tho business of
the Coutral Lino of Boats on our river,
and who has managed the boating interest
of the Chattahoochee so satisfactorily to
all parties -the merchants hero as well as
the planters bolow—ls about to change
his place of residence and make Savannah
his future home. It is said that he will
takechArge of the cotton presses belong
ing to the Central Railroad Company,
pieparing all cotton for ocoan transporta
tion by oompressing and reducing bulk.
This move on the part of Capt. White
sides will take from Columbus one of her
valued citizens, with whom she will re
luctantly part, for ho Is a useful, thor
ough-goiog, working man. And not only
will our oity lose a good citizen, but the
Central Railroad Company will allow a
vacanoy to be created here that may not
bo so well filled again. The boating Inter
est of tho Central Company on our river
has required groat energy and tact.
Competition has frequently put in its
claim for a share of the river trade, but
Captain Whitesides has been able, by his
good management, to always push It back
and conciliate It; but if this Interest is
oonllded to less skillful hands, it will "up
again” and show a very troublesome. If
not profitable vitality, indeed, already
the rumor of now boats is afloat, and If
the rumor should become a verity, the
community will not suffer, but the Central
Railroad will not bo beneflttod.

Tbe Boys Military Company
Last year about this time thero was
some talk among tho boys of forming a
Military Company, In which all members
should be under 21 years of age and un
married. The plan then laid out was not
carried into effect and the project was
loft alone. Now, since the pleasant and
delightful spring weather is fast ap
proaching and the sunny evenings as
usual will grow listless and tiresome,
the recreation of following an exerclso of
the military kind among the boys would
be'relished greatly by the whole town.
The boys will, If let alono to act for them
selves, place their company high above tho
two companies now orgauizod. An emu
lation would spring up which would
throw the boys ahead In the tactics, In
which both the Columbus and City Light
Guards have grown tired and careless.
Not only would the “boy company” of
Columbus be highly spoken of in and
around the city but Its strict attention to
dotall and the regularity of their manoeu
vres would be ro-ochoed over the whole
Stato. Tho prospect is flattering and de
serves the attention of those lads who,
should tho fates bring on a war, would
like to be prepared to win Its country’s
battles against the greatest obstacles
which would be brought to bear against
them. Yet some will say—but this Is all
foolishness, “the expenses will oat up the
whole company, equipments and all,” but
this will not be so. Tho arms can bo pro
cured from the Governor, the suits, can bo
bought and made at $lO each and the
armory can bo procured at an extremely
small price, even should no benevolent
citizen havo tho. giving spirit within him.

Consumptives take Notice.
Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, aud much depends on
the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony In favor of Dr.
Schonck’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for
Consumption, far exceeds all that can bo
brought to support the pretensions of
any other medicine. See Dr. Sohenck’s
Almanac, containing the certificates of
many persons of the highest respectabili
ty, who have been restored to health,
after being prouounced Incurable by
physicians of acknowledged ability
Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show;
but the cure is often promoted by the em
ployment of two other remedlos which
l)r. Schenck provides for the purpose.
These additional remedies are Scheuck’s
Sea Weed Tonio and Mandrake Pills. By
the timely use of these medicines, accord
ing to directions, Dr. Schenck certifies
that most any case of Consumption may
be cured.

A OOHVKKBATION BY WIRE ON WEDNESDAY
Birr WEEN THE CITY OF BOSTON AND
A NEIGHBORING TOWN.
Bostou Trausuript, Feb. 1.)
At noon yesterday a distinguished,
party of gentlemen were assembled
at the office of the Boston Rubber
Shoe Compauy, on Congress street,
In order to witness a series of exper
iments performed on the telephone
between the Inventor, I’rof. A. Gra
ham Bell, here, and Ills associate,
Mr. Thomas A. Watson, at the resi
dence of Mr. Converse, at Malden,
about six miles distant. Prof. Bell
had been invited by some of our
most prominent citizens to give a
practical demonstration of the most
recent developments of an invention
which, in acooiduuee with its name,
has alroady sounded far and wide the
fame of the telephone.
The telephone, in Its present form,
consists of a powerful compound,
permanent magnet, to the poles of
which is attached ordinary telegraph
colls of insulated wire. In front of
the poles, surrounded by these coils
of wire, is placed a diaphragm of iron.
A mouthpiece to converge the sound
upon this diaphragm substantially
completes the arrangement. As is
well known, the motion of steel or
iron in front of tho poles on a mag
net creates a current of electricity in
coils surrounding tbe poles of tho
magnet, and the duration of this cur
rent of electricity coincides with the
duration of the motion of tho steel
or iron moved or vibrated in the
proximity of tho magnet. When tho
human voice causes the diaphragm
to vibrate, electrical undulations
are Induced in tho coils environ
ing the magnets, precisely an
alagous to the undulations of
tho uir produced by that voice.
These coils are connected with
the line wire, which may be of any
length, provided tho insulation be
good. The undulations which aro
Induced in these coils travel through
the line wire, and, passing through
tho ooils of an instrument of pre
cisely similar construction at the
distant station, aro again resolved
into air undulastatlon, by the dia
phragm of this instrument.
The simplicity of Prof. Bell’s sys
tem will be apparent when it is
known that the voltaic battery is
entirely dispensed with. All that
is required for communication be
tween the most distant points are
the instruments and the telegraph
wire, the latter taking the place of
the speaking tube, and the former
that of the mouth-pieces. The short
distance which separated Messrs.
Bell and Watson in their experiments
yesterday must by no meaus be con
sidered a gauge of the powers of the
instrument, as any effect produced
by electricity over a short wire
can with equal facility be
produced over one extend
ing 100 or, for that matter, 1,000
miles, provided, of course, that tho
insulution be good. In fact, tne in
ventors have already conversed
through an artilleial resistance far
exceeding that of any of the Atlantio
cables. Although to the umnitlated
this might seem to imply that con
versation could be carried on across
the Atlantic by this means, yet as
ail electricians and men of science
are aware, there are other elements
entering into the consideration of
such a problem besides that of mere
resistance. Asa proof of the rapid
progress made in this soience, it may
be stated that it is only within the
past few mouths that the instrument
has been sufficiently perfected to
allow of free and easy conversation
taking place through this new ve
hicle.
It would perhaps be wearisome
were we to narrate at length the va
rious phases through which this in
vention has passed. The history of
all important inventions is the same.
It is only after years of weaay, pa
tient toil, of successive failures and
discouragements, and of constant sl
lent watching, that a man oan hope
successfully to develop the product
of his brain aud his intelligence.
This has been the case with Profes
sor Bell, who, by birth a Scotch
man, came over to Boston from Can
ada in 1872. In the following year
he was offered and accepted the Pro
fessorship of Vocal Physiology at the
Boston University. This was chiefly
owing to the fameenioyed both by
Professor Bell aud by his father as
teachers of this much neglected sci
ence in Europe. The Bell system of
physiological symbols has been so
thoroughly successful in this couu
try as to completely' revolutionize
the methods of instructing the deaf
and dumb, aud within tho last six
months four new schools for this
special purpose have been opened, in
Michigan, Maine, Illinois and New
York, while the system has also
been introduced into a large pro
portion of the establishments of
this class already existing in the
United States.
Besides its beneficent influence
on those persons deprived of the or
dinary faculties of hearing and
speaking, the Bell system has very
largely facilitated tne acquirement
by Europeans ot such lnnguoge ns
Chinese, Japanese, Cingalese, and
the Zudu dialect. We mention this
circumstance because it is simply as
a result of the constant attention
paid by Professor Bell to the mechan
ism of the human voice, both in in
structing teachers and in directly
ameliorating the condition of the
deaf and dumb, that he bus devised
his telephonic system.
The experiments of yesterday were
as follows : Telephones having been
connected with the private telegraph
line of the Boston Rubber Shoe Com
pany, and the operators at either
end having taken up their station,
conversation wasat once commenced.
Stationed at the Boston end of the
wire, Professor Beil requested Mr.
Watson to speak in loud tones, with
a view of enabling the entire com
pany at once to distinguish the
sounds.
This was so successful that a smile
of mingled pleasure and surprise
played on the features of those pres
ent. That it, however, might not be
supposed that loud speaking was
essential to intelligibility Mr. Bell
explained that soft tones could be
heard across the wires even more
distinctly than loud utterances, even
a whisper beiDg audible. In con
firmation of this statement Mr.
Watson commenced speaking in turn
with each member of the company,
and after the efficiency of this meth
od had been proved to the satisfac
tion of all he took up a newspaper
and informed the assemblage that
gold had closed the previous evening
at New York at 105|. As there was
quite a number of business men
present the effect that this practical
demonstiation of the value of the
telephone produced can scarcely be
exaggerated. Other passages from the
daily journals were then given, and
by this time the desire for conversa
tion having become general, Mr.
Watson was plied with questions
such as, “Is it thawing or freezing at
Maiden?” “Who will be the next
President?” &c. It was remarkable
Stoat Mr. WaUon was able to distin
guish between the Voices at the Bos
ton end. he calling at least one gen
tleman by name as soon as the latter
commenced speaking,
This went, on for some time, until a
lady at the Malden end sent the com
pany an invitation to lunch jer tele
phone, an<l an appropriate resixnise
was made by the same medium. At
length the company was requested
to remain quiet while a lady at the
other end conveyed to them the sweet
strains o f music. Thfc assemblage
thereupon listened with rapt atten
tion while a young lady commenced
singing ‘‘The Last Rose of Bummer.”
The effect was simply charming.
Possessing, as the fair ouututnc-e
does, a voice of exquisite sweetness,
tho sounds penetrated into the Bos
ton end of the telephone with a dis
tinctness equal.to that attainable in
tho more distant parts of a large con
cert-room, and a unanimous vote of
thunks whs sent by the hundy little
Instrument which had procured for
the assemblage so agreeable an hour.
Among those present were electri
cians and gentlemen occupying
prominent positions on our Western
railroads, uud one aDd all expressed
the conviction that the telephone
was destined to achieve tho greatest
possible results. Let us hope that
the day is fast approaching when
every man will be in a position to
turn on the electricity in his house
wltn thesatne facility with which he
now turns on the water or the gas.
