Indeed a great many people wanted me not to come, and Rosa among them, who thinks it very I wander away from the window and round the room aimlessly, my hands clasped behind me, my long blue gown trailing over the carpetâ€"the ugly shabby old-fashioned room which is “ my doleful prison this sixth of May,” as poor Anne Boloyn wrote in the Tower three hundred and fifty years ago. Not that this is the sixth of May. This is the sixth of March, and dear old uncle Tod’s birthday. He is seventy-two to-day, I glance at the open piano, but I cannot bring myself to sit down and finish that song.

He may be related to the two maiden laldes whom the maid-ofâ€"sll-work calls “ the parlors," as I suppose she calls me “the urawing-room,” when relating all she knows of me and my affairs to some body else. I can distinguish the initials “G. B." printed in white on the black bag. “ G. B.” stands for nothing that I can think of on the spur of the moment but “Ginx's Baby.” The name is not sstisfactery, nor are my surmiseslikely to lead to any appil'eclable result. 1 leave He is coming to stav. evidently, for he carries in one hand a black leather valiee, in the oth¢r what looks like a large pic- ture, in a kind of reugh wooden case. Of himself 1 can see nothing but a dark overcoat and the round but already men- tioned, except the glovea hand which holds his valiae, his figure. s-a visible from my stand-print. being so foreshortened that it presents very little beyond the felt hat and the toes of his boots. I wonder who he is 1 Sandy n tradesmen, though at first I had fancied he must ha a glazler, with his tools in the black bag and his pane of glass in the wooden case. And certainly not Mrs. Wenchope's non, for he in a small boy of eleven and to my cer- tain knowledge does net wear a round hat, That is not the Deanes’ carriage, that hansom drawn up before the door. Nor is this Olive Deane running up the steps. I draw back from the window infinitely disappointed. It is horribly unkind of Olive not to come ; she drves not know how lonely I am in thsso stupid 0“ lodgings, how long the afternoons and evenings am. She cannot c \mprehond a feeling of lonelinesh with that great houseful of broihers and sisters In Dexter Square. But she might keep a. promise when she makes one. I shall scald her when I meet her at the singingclass to- morrow, and tell her she (it/EB not crab-36y .3.â€" Fri But, iflfis nlzyzidOlive, who is it? The hansom has driven away. but the door has not yet opened ; and I flatten my nose against the glass to see the door-steps, which are partly concealed by the open ironwork of the balcony. A yonng man is standing below waiting, patiently or inipstientlyâ€"the top of his round felthat ‘ giving no clue *0 his moodâ€"until such time as Mrs. Wanchnpe’s mald-of-all- work shall see fit to ascend from tho bagment storey to open the street-door. A knock at the streetdoor, and a knock wherein the knocker gives no un- certain sound. I hear it through the melancholy wail of my own high-pitched voice, through the plsnoforte accompani- ment. I leave the instrument and rush to the window. Olive Deane promised to make her mother set her down here, in- stead of going to the Rollestons' “At home ” in Berkeley Street. I hope it may he Olive, though I had given her up half an hour ago. I have spent such a. stupid afternoon cooped up in this dingy room that more than once I have been tempted to break my promise to uncle Tod and sally forth into the street. Why uncle Tod thinks it quite permissible to go out in the morning for my musicâ€"les- son, yet out of the question that I should put my head out or doors alone in the afternoon, passes my comprehension, I ‘ suppose he knows, or thinks he known ; more about London than I do.

He has met the antecedent with its consequent. He has gathered into a scrapbook the ad- ventures of the boys who read dime nov- els, and ha made it his business in a quiet way to ask the boys one by one who are interested in these stories to spend an hour or two in reading, not the imaginative story, but the way in which the small boy has attempted to realize how boys ought to live and what they ought to be allowed to do. It is said that the dime novel boy usually reads the scrapbook, which is rapidly increas- ing in size as the fresh exploits of the dime novel adventurers are added to it, about two hours. He then lays it down in disgust, and nothing can induce him to return to those stories again. He asks the person in charge of the reading room for a better class 01" books. This cure of a disease with its own poison has been no efl'ecxive in Providence that the trustee in question is thinking of taking out a pat- ent for the process,lest other libraries and the heads of families and the guardians of small boys generally may appropriate his invention without due credit. This gen- tleman is the first among moderns to give point to the old saying, “ Look on this picture and then on that,” and it is the other picture that is powerful enough to wind up the dime novel business. These are the realism in literature, and this man goinv further than Mr. Howells or Mr. James, or even M. Zola, has substituted the pastepot and scissors for the imagina- tien, gathering his horrors and tragedies from actual life, in the firm belief that if truth is not stranger than fiction, it has a wonderful power at the right moment over an awakened mind. ‘ 'Brot_her A‘ , how other.

The two instru- ments used in this exhibition were con- nected by about one hundred miles of wire coiled about the oflices. Each ap- peared in its front part to be simply an ordinary type-writer, with the letters, nu- merals, etc., on raised keys. Behind this rises s. small column, with blank paper wrapped around it and moved up line by line as required by a simple de- vice. Inside that column is a small ham- mer that strikes outwerdly,so as to, when- ever a key is touched, press the paper against the periphery of a horizontal wheel that lies between the keyboard and the column. On that periphery, in high relief, are the letters of the alpha- bet, numerals, and points for punctuation. The wheel spins around with lightning-like rapidity as the keys are successively touch- ed by an expert. When it has to recede in an alphabetical order it flies back to a fixed point, as does the wheel of agold and stock indicator, but very much more swiftly. All the deli- cate and intricate electrical attach- ments necessary are below, and when un- derstood are much less complicated than they seem, their apparent complication being caused by their multiplicity. A separate wire leads from each key tea I in ,le common wire, and each of these key-connected wires serves either for transmission or reception of messages. The sending or receiving of a particular letter or figure is governed by the strength of current required for just that individ- ual one, and for no other. It seems very strange that all those various impulses should be flashed alone! a. wireâ€"even in opposite directions at the same timeâ€" without jostling each other or getting mixed up, but they do. Many messages Were sent and received during tests by non-experts at a speed of from forty to fifty words per minute with greater accu- racy than is usually shown by expert “sound” operators, and that speed, it was afi‘irmed, could be very greatly increased. . A noticeable and valuable feature of the system is that it prints clearly in the sight of the person transmitting a. message just what is being sent to the receiver, so that errors are avoided, or if committed are readuty Ioorrect_ed._ The messages An invention has recently been perfec- ted at Philadelphia that bids fair to revo- lutionize all existing systems of electrical communication, both telegraphicand tale. phonic. The secret of it has been care. fully guarded by the inventors and by the small company of large capitalists who control it, while it was being fully covered by patents, both American and foreign. Now that all is secure, it is to be suddenly sprung upon the public by an exhibition at the Continental hotel, prob- ably during the present week, as one of the gigantic scientific surprises of the cen- tury. To state in brief What it is, it is nothing less than making telegraphy as simple, rapid. and easily within the com- mand of everybody as is the operating of the caligraph or type-writer. Efl'ecting what is claimed for it. in will be the means of greatly reducing the cost of telegraphy, ‘of enabling the opening of some forty thousand new telegraph stations in rail- road and express offices throughout the United States where there have hitherto been none, and of taking the place gener- ally of the telephone. Any person who can pick out a word on the keys of a. type-writer can transmit a message by the system accurately and With rapidity, only restricted by the. speed of the pick- ing, while, as for receiving messages, the instrument does that automatically,wheth- or there is anybody superintending its op- erations or not.
