Reported Improvement in tie Ezec.
trio Telegraph. Late foreign paper,
state that Swedish savant Prof. Ed
lund, Of the Royal Academy of Scicn.
ces, succeeded last year in making
an improvement in the construction
of the electric telegraph apparatus.
BY which it becomes possible 10 send
messages by the same wire simulate
ou.ly in two opposite directions. The
principle on which this discovered is
based is very simple and altogethe.
different from that applied by DR..
Ginti at Vienna, which was not sue
cessful. As far back as the month
Of August, last year. Professor Edlund
made some experiments on tbe wires
Of the telegraph line between Stock.
holm and Upsala by permission Of the
directors. These succeeded 80 we'll
that he constructed the necessary ap.
paratus. which was put up in Decem-
Der last, and has beeen in daily opera
ton ever since. AS soon AS the CD
paratus are constructed they are to
be introduced at every telegraph sta.
ton in the kingdom and as the a.
formation is not expensive, The advan-
tages gained over the old system are
obvious, if one line of wire will do
the work formerly done by two.

The LIQUOR Law IN New York.
The Herald Of the Sd SAYS:

The liquor excitement is increasing
rapidly throughout the State. In all
the cities and large towns liquor dea
lsrs have organized associations to test
the legality Of the Prohibi'ory law be-
fore ihe courts. Az yet there is not
the slightest dirninution in the traffic,
and we doubt if single trader has
given up business Oh account Of the
enactment Of the law. In Brooklyn a
number Of dealers had applied for a
renewal of their licenses, which seve-
raj of the Excise Commission seemed
disposed to crafty, but the Mayor
instructed the City Clerk not to re
ceive andfi le the papers, and the Cor.
poration Counsel, in written opinion
confirmed the directions Of the Mayor
being, convicted that it is unlawful to
grant licenses hereafter.
