Home, February 20. Cardinal Giva
chino Pecci, Pontifical Camerlengo,
has been elected I "ope. Cardinal Pecci
is an Italian. He assumes the title of
Leo XIII.
The conclaves' second ballot was to
begin this afternoon, but the smoko of
the burning ballots in this case was
not observed until 0:43 p. in., showing
' the votes were much scattered. The
Fanfulla states that German y instruct
ed llohenlohe to declare that the elec
tion of an irreconcilable pope would
oblige the government to take rei res
sive steps immediately, whereas a
moderate pontiff could speedily termi
nate existing differences. The Fan
fulla also says French cardinals, con
trary to their first h.-r larations, ulti
mately determined to unite with
Spanish, Austrian and German cardi
nals iu supporting a moderate candi
date.
Circumstances of the election are as
follows: At this morning's ballot Car
dinal Tecci received 1G votes, which
was 5 short of the requisite two-thirds
majority. When the voting was finish
ed and the papers were burned, Cardi
nal i ranchi and those holding the
same views with him, advanced and
knelt before Cardinal l'ecci. This ex
ample being followed by others, Car
dinal Pecci's election was accomplish

present him with one million francs as
the first donation of Peter's pence
from the ireneu episcopate. Assoon
as the result of the election became
known, bells in a'l churches of Pome
were rung and diplomats went to the
Vatican to congratulate the new pope.
Cardinals will remain m the Vatican
until to-morrow. Perfect order pre
vails everywhere.
l'ecci is tall, has a fine, high fore
head, long face, straight features, large
mouth, prominent dun, cheerful, open
countenance, fine sonorous voice, great
dignity of manner, witty, liberal in re

Athens, February 20. A telegram
from Volo states the Greek insurgents,
though at first successful in lighting
near that place, are now in a critical
position on Mount Pelion. The Turks
have captured some of their positions
and are now mustering regulars and
Uashi-Bazouks for gcneial attack.

but at the expense of the surronnding

The village of Washington, opposite

Grand Island, are reported Hooded.
The Vallijo presents the appearance of
a vast lake; the immense body of wa

and New Urunswick. All aboard, all
aboard, gentlemen!'' And then the
machine being put iu operation, it re
peated the cries loudly and distinctly.;
Inquiring of the ingenious inventor
how often this series of cries could be
repeated by rotating the same tin-foil
record, he replied that he had used the
same tin-foil sheet a thousand tiims,
and found it still effective.
Already this most extraordinary dis
covery has been applied to practical
purposes, and the American Clock Com
pany have purchased the right to at
tach it to their clocks, which will not
strike, but call the hours: 1 o'clock! 2
o'clock ! 3 o'clock !
Alarm clocks will also be arranged
not to rattle with discordant rings, but
to call out: "4 o'clock! wake up, wake
up! what are you sleeping for at this
hour?" The guard at the depot gate will be
superseded by a phonograph, which at
the proper time will announce the next
train and name its stopping stations.
The number of toys in the shape of
talking dolls which will fill the land
and enliven the nurseries is beyond all
calculation, and no one can begin to
name all the uses to which the inven
tion will be applied.
I feel, "Mr. Editor, in writing this
brief notice, that I am taxing your cre
dulity, but here is the tin-foil object
before me, and 1 have seen and heard
its indentations thus wonderfully re
sponded to by the adjusted diaphragm.

all doubts on the subject, and lead each

We clip the following from a New

"The old Livingston mansion, near

While girls unquestionably have
their uses in the economy of nature,

own, it may be boldly asserted that
they are totally unfit to pursue in corn

which constitute the curriculum of ev

earliest studies of the Freshman year
is the art of getting the janitor s cow

j.ms can ne reauiiy mastered bv any
young man of good abilities and habits
of industiy and perseverance; but be
tween girls and cows there is a great
gulf fixed. The girl from her earliest
youth, looks upon the cow as a feroc
ious beast, prone to keep young ladies
in Jfie air in positions fatal to the pro
!t arrangement of her back hair. To
suppose that three or four young lady
students are capable of the complicat
ed pushing and pulling necessary to in
duce a cow to climb several flights of
stairs is to suppose that the natural
feminine fear of cows can be eradica
ted by the mere process of matricula
tion. Thus we see that one of the
very easiest of college studies is quite
beyond the range of female intellect.

WHAT NEXT.
TLe EeTelations of the "Phonograph
(Correspondence Telegraph.)
There is now lying before me a sheet
of "tin-foil" about twice the size of a
sheet of note paper.
Th eye can trace along its shining
surface a number of parallel lines, com
posed of slightly indented dots or marks
somewhat like those made by a tele
graphic message on a slip of paper.
This sheet of "tin-foil," while quite
smooth and unmarked, was- wound
round a "drum" and placed in a "pho
nograph" (first cousin or sister to a tel
ephone), and certain words were spoken
and certain cries uttered into the mout h
of the instrument, across which stretch
ed a disk of "tin" or "ferreotype plate."
provided with a minute "tracing-point."
This point touched lightly on the tin
foil, which, being rotated, passed in a
continuous spiral line beneath the said
tracing point. Consequently, the vi
brations proluced in the diaphragm by
the spoken words caused the tracing
point to correspondingly indent the
ua-ioii. xuere was thus produced on
iuo im-iou a record of the vibrations
which constituted the spoken words.
To retransforra thi3 into speech, all
that was necessary was to move the
drum back to its original position, so
. that the tracing point rested on the
tin-foil at the place where it had begun
to produce its indentations.
On now rapidly turning the "drum,"
the indented tin-foil passing under the
tracing-point, caused it to move (fol
lowing the indentation), and thus to
vibrate the "diaphragm" in exactly the
same manner in which it had been mov
ed before by-the tones of the voice.
This motion of the diaphragm ( won
derful to relatej ry causing correspond
ing motions of the air reproduced the
spoken words.

Wednesday afternoon, and when the

heard musing:
"What on earth is that boat lugging

After the race of the four-oared shells
the boat returned, having the time,
"7:.Vi," on her black-board.
"What's that?" asked the old man of
himself, as he rose up and adjusted his
spectacles "7:oS, eh? We'll see about
that, we will."
He 'pulled a morning paper from his
pocket, hunted up the market report,

The Dairyman humorously puts the
soimyuies of the undecided cheese-
maker on the skimming question. as
follows. We can only wish that Mac-
beth's witches may take the man who
takes the cream from our cliee.se:
lo skim or not to skim that is the
question. Whether 'tis nobler iu the
man to suffer the slings and arrows of
temptation's power, or take the cream
from evening's mess of milk; and by
skimming end it? To skim, to churn
no more and by the step summarily
end the question and the thousand ar
guments that rise up, cream like! 'Tis
a consummation that should give tis
thought. To skim, to churn! to ti-iui.'
perchance too much! Aye, there's the
rub! For best of butter there's an o'er
supply, and markets suffer from inferior
cheese, must give us pause. Theie'B
the respect for home consumption, now
so very small; for who would ruin, what
should most demand,' markets at home,
or from proud men's tab.es drive the
use of cheese, because so poor, and
make them think they do not relish that
which Englishmen with every meal doth
take, because impoverished and taste
less, made by use of skimmer? Then
the extra work to grunt and sweat
over the churn rnd bowl, and the uten
sils of the butler room, with dubious
hope of getting one's reward in the in
creased returns, puzzles the will, and
makes us rather work the milk'up whole
than turn t-j practices we know not of,
nor see the end, except in dimm-st
shade.
