Sam Small was atertained by the shorthand society last week. He was at one time a court reporter, and was well known as a delineator of negro character in words, leder the mon di- ligent.. of "Old Si." Speaking of the educational phase of a study of pho- netic shorthand, Mr Small declared that it was the nice distinction of sound to which his ear was trained by the practice of phonocrephy that enabled him to seize epon and hold the peculiar variations of pronunciations rendered by the dusky children of the south. Mr Small claims that much of the alleged negro dialect now passing current in the magazines is very far from beteg true to life. E. V. Murphy, one of the celebrated Murphy Bros., Senate reporters, of Washington, was in the city last week, and shared with Sam Small the hospi- tality of the shorthsoders of Toronto. Mr Murphy is a wide awake mar_. He is interested in a machine something after the style of the phonograph, which some my will do away with that clam of shorthand writers known as amanuensis, and he also is a shareholder in a soon - pesky that is pushing the lineotype, a machine that wilt work a revolution in the printing business. The lineotype is • cross between the typesetting and stereotyping machine ; it practiodly does the work of both. 1 saw • book print- ed from type pot is order by this machine, and it was neatly done. In fact, a considerable part of the New York Trilnote is daily set by this machipe. The spacing is automatic, and is done very evenly. The recent steamboat collision on the bay was not without • fatal result. A young man named Campbell, from Dur- ham, was the victim. His body was fount' last week upon a special march boleti mad.. At the time, the ferry tur- een declared that no man was miming after the accident; bot the friends of Campbell had a search instituted for the body when he failed to return the week after the oxhibitioa, and the body was found near the scene of the dissater. 1 Capt.

TELETHON; CRAZIL —Periodically the public hare a nen thrust on their notice, at one time it is • goldmine, at another • lead company that seeks to draw the hard earnings from the people's pockets. In ancient Mmes it was the South Sea bubble that turned the heads of kings and senators wLti were ultimat- ely engulfed in one grand maelstrom that ruined them by thousands. Mont- real just now is quietly being flooded with telephonic sehenies as flighty in imagination and as dubitim in results as the black angel companies floated in the States, to tbe financial ruin of those who once prided themselves on being in affluect itions. It is against innat- e:iv in t see imaginary companiee that • desire to caution our readers. Bet yesterday a new scheme was afloat to wipe out the Bell Telephone Compaq by reducing its tariff to $35 per annum for subscriber.; to -day another bubbl. company which wishes to reduce the price to $12 is floating in the air, It is needless to say there is little room for the next fifty years for any competition such as is perhspe intended or intended for sale. From personal inquiry we find that no person, director or other- wise, io the Bell Co., has ever received any bonus on his stock, and that that company has never sold • share bot to, stock par for gambling purposeslis not to be supposed therefore that any of the new concerns can place the share- holders In a better condition. Again the Bell Telephone Co., with its 4,000 ver 5,0OO miles of lines, connecting cities and towns, offers to its subscribers facilities which no other Telephone Co., mu 'tarnish. The Ball Telephone Co's. dividends, with the practical monopoly of the past eight years, avenge about 5 per cent. Therefore it is metals that with its economical and conserostive management it has been no spacial bonanza for its shareholder& Its Mock sells to day at about par. With two or three competitors in the field, and the onseeqient rate cattiest, wnat proems* ie there for dividends from any of them, sines it is not to be supposed that the Bell Telephone Co., has to day aboot 14,000 sets of instruments in see and owes between 4,000 and 5,000 mike of eoneectiog cities and towns is Canada sod the United Mateo It has also the exclaseve right to connect with the system of the American Bell Tele- phone Go, in the United States.

Beugoogb, Canada's 'radiate cartoonist, was going to define one of his "inimitable lectures.' in the Grand Opera House, and as I always was great hand for pictures, I thought id trail in the procession and take in the peck of fun that was premised on the occasion. Well, as the boys say, -I got thar, Eli," and sat in a pew stir - rounded by the elite, or words to that effect, and I saw the renowned lecturer come forward in due form, and a claw - hammer coat. He wasn't much to look at, and if it wasn't for his mental calibre his physical heft would neves make a ton of hay kick the beano But he was a kind of engaging little chap, with • beaming eye, a Isty15h face and well—yes--1„ might as well say it— predisposition to baldness on the off- side of his head. Ile wasn't talking long till I snickered right out, and when he commenced on the chalk business I had to hold on to the scat with both hands fur fear scosething would happen to the seat. That was the way I felt when ho sketched uff the military man, and the musical composer, and the artist, and then I watched him carefully uutil he began to draw the outlines of anoth- er local sun. Al first it didn't look like any local man that I was acquainted with, fur I thought it resembled Goldwin Smith, before he started lecturing on commercial union. Then it get the Lard and fast lines of profile connected with the physiog development of my old and esteemed friend the head master of Goderich high school ; and then it was decorated with black, red and brown crayon until it looked as if it was spoiling io slop over and hurt somebody. I was gazing with both eyes and my spectacles trying to figure on who on earth the little artist was shooting at, until I re- membered that 1 had seen the editor of TH2 SIGNAL drawn op about the profile in somethiog like that shape when he was suffering trent dyp.psia, when back subscribers were not bringing in cord- wood and "garden sue" at regulation speed. And I began to laugh till the tears made my spectacles kind of dim. I took uff the apex to wipe off the mois- ture, and just then I got • nudge from one of the neighbors who said to me, "I guess that's for you," "What f" said L "That," said he, pointing to the cartoon. I pat on my apex sgain, and there, sure snoujgh, that malicious little Whodo'ye call him, from Toronto, had written nu - der the picture the words, "Ajax de- fiant !"
