which he determined to be beforehand
with interrogatories in future.
AT the next tavern he registered
himself as Benjamin Franklin, from
Boston TO Philadelphia, a printer not
worth a dollar, eighteen years of age,
u single man seeking his fortune, ETC.,
and his singular introduction checked
all further inquiries and effectually re-
pulsed the daring propensity of Yam
kee inquisitiveness. AT one of the
public houses the fireplace was sur
rounded by men SO closely packed our
traveller could not approach near

warmth, and being cold and chilled

THE TELEPHONE.

One of the most remarkable scientific
inventions of the present day, and one
which promises to be of great Importance
and convenience in business affairs, is
the telephone, which has recently been.
constructed and practically developed by
Prof. A. Graham Bell, and by means of
which it is possible to send articulate
sounds over ordinary telegraph wire. A
short time ago Prof. Bell demonstrated
that 1t was possible to transmit sounds
in this manner through a distance of
100 miles, from Boston to Portland, and
back to Salem; but difficulty was
found in holding communication between
points more remote. Prof. Bell has re-
Gently completely overcome this difficulty,
and is now able to communicate plainly
between any points, however distant.
Some novel tests were recently made be-
tween Boston and Salem, on the line of
the Eastern Railroad, Sunday being nec-
essarily selected as the time, because in
week days the wires are used for busl-
ness purposes. Sounds were transmitted
through an artificial resistance equal to
the Atlantic cable, and were heard dis
tinctly. No battery was used, the elec-
tricity required being obtained from
permanent magnets, thus greatly simpli-
flying the operation. These experiments
practically take the question of distance
out of the problem, and the only matter
to be perfected is the sensitiveness of the
instrument, which can probably be easi.
ly secured. If the invention proves
successful it will create revolution in
the matter of sending messages, by
greatly simplifying the process, removing
all chance of error in transmission, and
reducing the cost to merely nominal
