SOLDIERS Tonrnnsn av INDIAN Somme—
The Salt Lake Tribumsays: Our special
correspondent with Gen.‘Howard writes that
the wounded were fearfullv tortured and mu-
tilated by the Nez Perces squaws on the Big
Hole battle ground. The soldiers had taken
the Indian village, but being overpowered by
numbers they were obliged to fall back and
fight their way to a position on the side of
the mountain which the enemy had already
taken possession Of. They had a desperate
encounter, but carried the point, and imme
diately dug trenches with their trowel bayo-
nets. ,
In the meantime the wounded had been
left on the bottom by the creek, and while
the bucks set fire to the grass and tried to
burn the little band of Soldiers out of their
trenches, the squaws mangled and tortured
the poor fellows who were still alive but an-
able to help themselves. The atrocities per-
petrated upon the helpless boys in blue by
these shedevils can hardly be realized by any
one unaccustomed to tales of savage barbari-
ty. They heated their camas hooks red hot
and then thrust them into the bodies of the
wounded; mangled them in every conceiv-
able manner, and slowly tortured them to
death by means known only to the red devils.
Early in the action a bugler, a mere boy,
was wounded in both legs. One of his com-
rades carried him Off the field and then re-
turned to the fight, the bugler saying he
would rest there a few minutes and then try
and walk off to a place of safety. The In-
dians got possession of the creek and bottom
land, the squaws discovered, mutilated him
and burned both his eyes out. The boy’s
sufferings can be imagined, and death was
certainly a welcome relief to him.

The Rural Sun has the following ; It has
been decided that when a horse or carriage
islet out for hire for the purpose of perform-
ing aparticuiar journey, the party letting
warrants the horse or carriage fit and compe-
tent for such a journey. If the hirer treats
the horse or carriage as any prudent man
would do, he is not answerable for any dam-
age that eitlicr may receive. But he must
use the horse for the purpose for which he
hired him. For'instance, a horse hired for
saddle must not be used in harness. If the
hirer violates this express condition of the
contract he is liable for any damages that may
occur. If the horse is stolen through the
liirer’s negligence, such as leaving the stable
door open all night. he must answer for it.
But if he is robbed of it by highwaymen,
when traveling the usual road at usual hours,
he cannot be held for damages. As these
questions are frequently in dispute, these
decisions may be interesting.

The Futurcof the Telephone.
- At the time that Professor Morse was pe-
titioning Congress for a subsidy to enable him
to finish telegraph wires between Baltimore
and Washington, an effort was made to kill
the whole thing by throwing ridicule upon it.
One astute member of Congress offered an
amendment that an appropriation should be
made to construct a line to the moon; but,
notwithstanding the wit and satire expended
against it, the enterprise proved successful,
and the whole world was filled with amaze-
ment. This was the beginning of one of the
greatest inventions of the age, and since its
introduction we are prepared to receive al—
most any new thing with entire credulity, ai-
tliough at first it' may appear to be among the
imp‘ossibilities. The telephone is much like
the telegraph in the wonder that it excites;
but, unlike the telegraph, it is a... new instru-
ment, and has its brilliant future before it.
Since the telephone was introduced at Phila-
delphia a year ago by Mr. Graham Boil, great-
er improvements have been made" in it than
were es'fected in the telegraph in many years.
The instrument has been simplified to such an
extent that it now looks like a butter-stamp
or a door knob, and can be easily carried in
the coat pocket. Instead of being a compli-
cated machine, screwed to a table, and pro-
vided with clock work and weights, it is sim-
ply a tube with a magnet and coil running
through the centre. The wonderful simphe
ity of it fills every one with as much aston-
ishment as does the certainty of its execution.
No one anticipates such marvelous results
from an apparatus that makes so little show,
and this is probably one reason why the peo-
ple have been so slow to adopt it. It is an
instrument which no one can understand
from a description, and no one will believe in
it without seeing it; and after seeing it, it is
necessary also to hear it in order to be con
vinced. The telephone has been changed
from the box form, which served very well
for the transmission of musical sounds, but
would not articulate, to a converging mouth-
piecc,by Professor John Pierce,of Providence,
R. I. This slight modification is what has
made the telephone a practical success. An-
other chauge made by the Providence experi-
ment-rs, Professors Blake, Pierce. and Chan-
niug, \vas to use the unipolararrangemcnt in-
stead of the horse shoe magnet ; this reduced
the size of the instrument, and led to the but-
ter stamp shape, which is the latest form
adopted by the patentees. The telephone as
now constructed consists of a holder, shaped
like a butter stamp, in the centre of which is
ak‘stcel magnet, surrounded by a coil of silk
covered copper wire. Within a distance of a
sheet of paper is placed a disk Of thin iron,
such asphotographers use in taking ferro-
types, of the size of a quarter dollar. This is
the diaphragm, the vibrations of which are so
rapid that they can repeat the waves produc-
ed by articulation and thus give to us the
tones of the human voice. There are two
knobs or handles containing this simple appa-
ratus, so that two may listen to a reply, or a
single listener may shut out external sounds
by applying one to each ear. In sending a
message the speaker places his mouth a short
distance from the trumpet shaped opening
and cnuuciates distinctly. The sound of the
voicesets the diaphragm in vibration, and
this in turn induces currents of electricity
along the ‘wires which are exactly synchro-
nous with the wavcs of sound; the copper
wires carry the induced electric waves to the
other end of the line, where they set another
diaphragm in vibration, which then gives in
fac sfmik the sounds of music or of speech
which were sent from the distant sta—
tion. The mouth acts like a magneto electric
machine in causing the iron diaphragm to
move back and forth in unison with the voice.
It has long been known that when a helix is
made to revolve in front of a magnet a cur-
rent Of electricity is induced, which is so pow-
erful, if a sufficiently large apparatus is em-
ployed, as to drive machinery, evolve the
electric light, and perform all of the opera-
tions of electro metallurgy; but no one thought
that the modulations of the human voice
could, in an analogous manner, he made to
take the place of the revolving helix by means
of a contrivance so simple as an iron disk,and
if it had been suggested to a physicist that
such a thing was possible, he would have said
that the waves of sound would be too rapid
for measurement, and that the instrument
must fail. Mr. Graham Dell, not being a
physicist by profession, was not afraid to fry
the experiment, and it was thus that the tel-
ephone became a reality. This ingenious man
was engaged in teaching articulate language
to deaf mutes. It was natural that he should
analyze sound very accurately, and that speak-
ing trumpets and similar contrivauces should
occupy his attention. He was familiar with
the observations of Henry and Page that the
of soft iron is attended with the vibration of
the bar, and that the movement of the parti-
cles is isochronous with the making and break-
ing of this electric current, and, he thought,
wiry not let the voice make and break the
current, and perhaps the vibrations will imi-
tate articulation and give us speech. The
physicist would have said that the waves of
sound from the voice must follow each other
too rapidly to admit of measurement, but he,
not being a physicist, did not believe it, and
tried the experiment, and the discovery was
made. This was the Columbus egg all over
again, and was one of the most important dis-
coveries of modern times. - It is a popular
impression that the waves of sound traverse
the wires, but this is a: mistake—the sound
starts the electricity, and that travels with
immense velocity over the conducting wires.
In order to use the telephone we must have
the same system of conducting wires as is
used with the telegraph. This is the only
expensive part of the application; the tele
phone itself is so simple that it could be made
for half a dollar. , Mr. Bell does not propose
to sell rights to use the inventionnbut to sell
the instrument itself at a fixed price of say
$20. This is unnecessarily high, and must in
time be very much reduced. In the city of
Providence, R. I., there exists an apparatus
for simultaneously lighting and extinguishing
the street lamps. Its novelty consists in the
combination of compressed air for perform-
ing the mechanical part of the operation with
an electric 'currcntfor lighting the gas. The
electric wires used for lighting are also adapt-
ed for telegraphic purposes, more especially
for fire alarm and police signals. Communi-
cation can be made by any policeman on du-
ty with every police office and engine house
by the use of a simple hand instrument, not
larger than a common door key; but through
this instrument he can ‘ receive no message
back, and cannot even know that his infor-
mation has been received at the point to which
it was sent. By the use of the telephone in
connection with the underground wires of the
Providence lamp lighting system, it has been
discovered that the human voice can beem-
ployed with great advantage for communicat-
ing intelligence from one part of the city to
the other, and that electrical instruments and
skilled operators may be entirely dispensed
with for instantaneous communication wher-
ever wircs extend. All messages can be made
as private as any oral communications. N 0
written evidence is left on file, and no third
person is taken into the secrets of the mes-
sage. _ Instead of using the system of messen-
ger dispatch now in vogue in New York and
other cities, every citizen can have a telephone
by means of which he can communicate what
he has to say with the central office, and
from there the _nccessary steps can be
taken to send it to its destination. it is hard-
ly necessary to sketch the uses of which the
telephone is capable, as they will suggest
t’u-mselves to every intelligent reader. They
are Obviously very numerous, and it is only
a question of time to see the instruments ex-
tensively employed by all manuf‘acturers,mer—
chants, city authorities, government officials.
and private citizens. But, in addition to its
great value for the transmission of inessages,,l
it has an important application as an instru—
ment of research. In order to test the insu-
lation of a cable, it is only necessary to attach '
the telephone and attempt to speak through
it; if the voice is not heard, there must be a
.break somewhere. As an instrument in elec-
trometric measurements as a galvanometer.
the telephone opens up a new and rich field.
We can hardly appreciate its importance any
better than we could the telegraph when it
was first announced. It is impossible to pre-
dict what intcresting discoveries may be made
by means of it, nor can we anticipate all of
its uses, but we already know enough to
class it among the great benefactions of the

HARNESS,‘
A Lady’s View on Fashionable
Costume.
To the Editor of the New York Times .'
Some years ago a popular writer, whose
words were law in the world of fashion and
refinement, remarked that a parvennc Could
be detected by her attention to her costume
in public; that a lady wore whatever dress
was appropriate to her station or occasion
with the careless grace with which a bird
wears his plumage, while the Other evinced
a consciousness of fine clothes by little ad-
justments and arrangements of gloves, jew-
elry, or drapery, betraying that these were
not comfortable, or that the owner either do-
sircd to have them noticed or felt doubtful
regarding their safe preservation. How
would this niccliltlc critic regard the pre-
vailing mode of wearing dresses of inordi-
nate length, and carrying their super-lions
folds in one hand, wearily, in the street or
road? What sense of beauty, convenience,
or grace is satisfied ? The draping and trim.
wing of the skirt on which so much care is
bestowed, is entirely disarranged from the
original design by' being drawn aslant and
elevated ; a free and graceful motion of feet
and hands is restrained by the burden Of the
heavy train, dragged together and borne con-
stantly. The outline of a dress made in the
extreme of the mermaid style, fastened close-
ly to the knees and then switching into an
unmeaning trail, is sufficiently ineligant; but
when this compact fit is increased by binding
the garment tightly round the ankles it is
positively ridiculous, as well as vulgar. The
marvel is how any woman who sees this awk—
wardness in another woman can conform to
it herself. Time was when the feet and un-
derskirls of a lady were invisible realities;
now they are the most conspicuous Objects
though not the most beautiful. Despite fan-
cy stockings and Louis XV rosettes, few la-
dies’ feet look well in motion. Thanks to
French heels, few women move with elastic
and even step, neither too long nor short;
they scramble and waddle over the ground as
best they can on the absurdly curved soles,
so entirely unlike the natural form of the
foot as to destroy the power of the muscles,
with a weight of draperyrfettering their
limbs. Isat and noticed a file of women
clad in expensive materials coming along the
street one day, and thought that the coulom-
of each, as well as her motion, was almost
identical with that of some rustics whom I
once saw cndcavoring to run in sucks. The
unfortunate inappropriateness with which
Americans are sometimes reproachcd is man-
ifested in the adoption by our women of
trained skirts for all times and places, and
made of all materials. For occasions of
state and space a flowing train may be ele-
gant and add importance to the wearer at a
bridal or drawing-room; but a train proper
exacts a train-bearer, which modern usage
has not yet adopted, and space for the dis-
play of the elegant folds, which our crowded
receptions do not afford. Many a man who
stumbles and trips over the impediments of-
fered by a fine lady's costume, would be
thankful if she had any other way of an‘
nouncing the aggrandizing fact that besides
owning so expensive 9. dress, the wearer
could afford many extra yards of elegant
goods to sweep the carpets and gather dust
beneath the feet of the crowd. If a house
train is useless and of questionable beauty,
what is a street train, which cannot be worn
en train ? How would a man appear who car-
ried his trowsers at each knee? or give a
occasionally, a la, metelot .’ it would be voted
very bad style. In this City the prevalence
of these dresses, uncomfortably carried
through the streets, gave the writer the
impression that hard times had reduced
every woman to one gown, for festivities at
home and display abroad; but during the
Summer, in country sojourns, suits made to
walk on lawns, climb hills,wander on beaches,
draggle, or are wound around the knees in
the same ungainly fashion; and it is notice-
able even in the house or on the piazzas that
this-habit has influenced the carriage of the
unfortunate bondwomen, who have acquired
a shuffle as if their feet were still handed to-
gether, and carry One hand stifily extended
ready to grasp the trail. Will the next de-
code of new clothes decree that women’s
clothes shall be no greater length than them-
selves? L-

Critics.
There is a certain class of people in every
community who feel themselves called upon
to criticise everybody and everything about
them. They talk as if they had the knowl-
edge of the whole world at their tonguc’s
end.’ They criticise the pastor’s sermons;
they criticise the deacons’ conduct; they
criticise the village paper. There is no one
they don’t criticise. It is as natural for them
to find fault as it i for a dog to bark. Their
tongues play as easily and smoothly as a
snake’s. Some of them are very pious, and
they are greatly distressed over the welfare
of Zion. They know just why a revival
doesn’t come. If the pastor would only
preach so and so, if he would only visit more
and exchange less, a refreshing from the
Lord might be had at once. What a nuisance
such creatures are! they keep the church and
the village in a ferment continually. You
know that they don’t amount to anything;
that their judgment on any point is not worth
a pin; you are ashamed of yourself that you
care a snap what they say, and yet they tor-
ment you. You can no more be easy in their
presence than you can sleep with a live rat in
the room. Whenever you see them you feel
as if you would like to throw something at
them, and,——well, we don’t know but you
should. “Smite a scorner and the simple
will beware.”
A Death Grip.
Yesterday morning, as people were passing
through Union and Wooster streets on their
way to work, their attention was attracted by
an incident which was much funnier to them
than to the person principally interested. A
very large rat had been caught not far from
the corner of Union and Wooster, and it was
b ought to the street at that point to be let
se and given over to the tender consider-
ation of Landlord Bradley’s black and tan
“To . A boy named Farrell held the trap.
Thc‘liog stood ready, and when the word was
given, Farrell let the rat loose. To his aston-
ishment and utter discomfiture the rat took
refuge in one of his trouser legs. It is hard
to describe the scene which followed. Far-l
rel was badly seared; he jumped and tore
around until he got one hand on the varmrnt-
that seemed to be on the road to his. “Talk ‘
about a death grip,”said he, “your death
grips are nothing to this grip," and began to
squeeze the life out of that rat. Nearly a
hundred people gathered around and enjoyed
the fun, and the shop girls saw enough to
make them laugh all day. Life had parted
company with the rat some minutes before
Farrell could be induced to loose his grip;
but when he did let go, the poor rat’s body,
with its head flattened out of shape dropped
to the ground. There was no work for “Top"
and he mournfully walked away. while the
crowd melted away—New Eaten Palladi-

A schoolmistress in a suburban town, who
had long been annoyed by the perversities of
a male pupil of nineteen, on one of the clos:
ing days of last term kept him in and under-
took to whale him. He, however, disarmcd
her, and returned several kisses for each blow.
The schoolmistress, unable to forgive this
breach of discipline, looked him sternly in
the face, and, shaking her forefinger at him
in a menacing manner, said,, solemnly, “Wit
liam, I will give you precisely fifteen minutes
to stop bugging me, and if you disobey me 1
shall punish you very severely."——0]u'cago
