The directors of the newly -incorporated
Postal Telegraph Company met in New
York the other day. It was announced
after the meeting that nearly on -half of
the 021,090,000 Stook to be issued had been
taken, and that this would, enable the com-
pany to begin operations very *on. It is
intended to cover every point where there
are now Western 'Union offices.
The Postal Telegraph Company was
incorporated in jam last, with a capital of
$21,000,000. It estimates the coat of lines
and a system thoroughly competitive with
Western Union at $15,000,000, and the time
of construction at eighteen months. The
special advantages it claims are the exolu-
sive possession and right to use the "com-
pound wire," the Gray harmonic multiple
and Way duplex system of telegraphy, and
the Legge automatic and autographic tele-
graph. These three features are covered
by patents, recently acquired by the 00M.
pony; which, it is stated, do nqt in any way
infringe upon patents held byithe Western
Union. The compound wire is a steel Wire,'
electro -plated with copper, and possessing,
it is claimed, a conductivity' many ;times
greater than that of the best wires in use.
The price paid for the compound ,wire
patents and the eleotro-plating factory
where the' wire is constructed, is said
to have been 01,500,000.. The ley
resistance of . this wire allows it to be
worked without interruption in all weather.
The Gray harmookt multiple and Way
duplex system is a system by which six
messages.are gent Over the same wire at
the same time in different musical tones.
The inesseageh mayb� sont in tlie sanio or
in opposite directions, and any number of
Stations on a WM may --eqtaminkicate With
each other on a • siogla wire' on ,which
through business is being done , simul-
taueonsiy- The system was tested:: by the
-
Waste* Trnionelectriciano, and itis stated
that, pending negotiations as to the tittle
to be paid Mr. Gray by the Western Union,
Mr. Reene's agents peoured all of Gray's
_claims for $260,000. . •
The Legge automatic telegraph works in
thisl way: The mesisage is written in ink in
the Morse- alphabet In a spiral •about a
large wood wheel. The wheelis placed in
the electric oirouit and revolved rapidly,
and as a small wheel passes over the
Morse letters the circuit is .alternately
opened and closed, • and a 'duplicate
of the message tippears on a similar
wheel at the receiving station. Mr. Legg°
says that in reeent experiments,. between
'New York endl3oston,over an ordihary wire
a rate of transmission of 2,300 words per
minute had been demonstrated, and that
the anticipated rate is, 6,000 words. The
price paid or the Leggo, rights fs said to
have been $1,000,000. • • • '

Foreign papers report that in opposition

hoop skirt. The shops in this city are

"How do you account /Or the change?"
"Well, you know When fashion runs to,
extremes there is likely to \be a violent
reaction. Hoop skirts were tlriven out of
fashion because the style west pushed to
such an extreme. Hoops got to be four
and five yardsfaround in the 'style kROWII

he held no a:slim, graceful skirt, with
hoops segured by broad tapes, and running
about hall way up. "Tho old hoops ran
up to 150 inches in. circumference. The
present style runs from 55 to 65 Inchon.
Now, if the modistes do not push the style
to excess, arid will keep the hoop -skirt down
to two yards in circumference, it will
remain in use." • •
"Has there boon much': change in the
manufacture of hoop skirts?
•
"All theeho,nge in the world. It was in
1857 that hoop skirts first mune into use. I
remember the. first, articles of the kind
which were imported from Europa. They
were cumbrous affairs, the hoops made of
bareboO, cane or rattan. Iron Was 'Con-
sidered toe heavy it material. Steel hoops
were introduced by American makers.' It
was a long prepeeete get_ the tight- qoality,

snap, and if too *ft the hoop would bend

is so Well lempefed-that'ther heart skitt
retains its shape and at the.same tinie dm -

What frequent visits to °anoda the rev.
doctor made nieuy friends. The much -
talked -et and long -looked -for heresy trial
of Dr. Thomas at last, however, bids fair
to materialize ancl become a reality instead
of a hope or expectancy. The committee
appointed at the last M. E. Conference, eJt
Rockford, in Ootober,' 1880, to prepare
charges against the "doubting Thomas,"
hate, after ten months' delay, prepared
and handed to the presiding elder of the
district the charges on which the proem -
tion is to be based. The charges were
prepared by Rev. Dr. S. A. W. Jewett, of
Joliet, and Rev. Dr. R. V. Hatfield, of
Chicago, and are now in the hands of Rev.
,Dr. W. 0, Willing, Presiding Elder of that
district. . •
TEE MAIMS,
•
will be substantially what were made
against Dr. Thomas at the time of the last
conference. These were that he denied the
inspiration of some northing of the Scrip-
tures; that he denied the dectrine of the
atonement as. taught by the Methodist
Church, and that he taught the doctrine of
probatipn after death. The evidenceoffered
to support these charges will be extracts of
sermons, and the dootor'sletterread before
the last confetence.
NOTIFYING Tug 4caussn.
Dr. Willing has written to Dr: Thomas,
who is roaming about in the Lake Superior
region, to notify him that the charges have
been made, and a copy will be forwarded
to his address as soon as it is ascertained
definitely where ha is. Dr. Willing has also
appointed Drs. Jewett ,and Hatfield to
conduct the'. prosecution for the Church,
and they are preparing their ease. •
. The defence will be -as strong ,as Dr.
Thomas and a host of abe friends oan make
it, and with such an array of *loot on
both slides as will be preseuted, it will be
one of the raostinteresting church trials ever
held in the country. It is said the defence
will be ageressive as well AS defensive and
will seek to place the arraigners on trial
rather than the aspersed preacher ; that their
assumptions as to the dootrine of. the
Methodist Church will be attacked.

To go into the doctrinal points will
involve a great deal of, labor, as the doctrine
of the Methodist Choi* covers a great ter-
ritory. There is no formulated creed as in
other ecclesiastical hod iesreachingfar back
into the pest, but they have first the articles
of religion,and second, the articles of
religious standard, the fernier being explicit
rules laid down for the guidance of
ministers and members of the Church; and
the lattet the teachihge ofaccepted anthers.
