than systematic system of deception and fraud
which characterize so many travelling quacks and

claim to consideration and continual patronage is
from the fact that my oldest patrons are my warm

them at all. So mucll so that dis
gusted listener in recent philadel-

imagine himself drinking in by tele-

in irate profanity, ooh you be hanged

Nevertheless, although it has not
yet been brought to perfection for
first-cIass musical transmission, the
speaking telephone, as we learn from
city papers, is being rapidly intro
duced into manufactures and business
houses as an indispensable medium Of
communication. What is known as
the Bell speaking telephone was pat
ented about eight months ago and it
is said there are not less than twenty
five hundred already in actual service.
To considerable extent they are like

The process seems simple. The Vi
braton caused by the voice in an iron
diaphragm fixed near n permanent
magnet excites in the latter the cur.
rent of electricity which, after passing
over the wire, causes the original vi
braton to reproduc, the articulation
of the voice at the other end. Any
person who can speak can operate the
instrument.

a crude shape as yet, but will be per-
fected TO the above end.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS.

The reconciliation Of silver bill,

makes the silver legal tender for all
debts, both public and private, passed
the House last week by vote OF l63
to 81. Immediately after its passage
q vote on the bill repeating specie re-
sumption act was taken, which result
ed in showing l43 members in favor
to 4s against it. These decided eX-
pressions of opinions occasoned no
little establishment, especially as the
majority votes came mainly from the
west and south. Such strong expires.
sions from The popular branch lead
to the belief that Senators from the
same sections may be forced 10 voting
the same way and both measures thu:
be successful. 1t is said the Presl-

strength to pass them over the veto
