The Wonderful Telephone.

The instrument is exceedingly simple
inexpensive, and easily understood. Ii
consists in attaching to the terminals oil
tho ordinary telegraph wire. between
any two points, powerful compressed
magnets, with coils OF wire connected.
In front of tho poles, surrounded by
these coils of wire, is placed diaphragm
OF iron. A moutnpicce to convey the
sound upon this diaphragm substantially
completes the arrangement. When the
human voice causes the diaphragm to vi
brate, closing and breaking the circuit
with each vibration, electrical undula-
tons are produced in the coils precisely
analogous to the fluctuations Of the air
produced by the voice. The coils are
connected with the line wire which may
be of any length provided the insulation
is good. The fluctuations produced IN
these coils travel through the line wire,
and, passing through the coils OF an in
strument, OF precIsely similar construc-
ton, at the distant station, are again re-
solved into air fluctuations by the dia-
phragm of the instrument.

tain them:
The Republicans of Kansas City elect
Slaven's mayor by PSI majority. They

Registration and Treasurer.
Appearances are that Overstoltz, the
candidate of tho regular Democratic
convention and endorsed by the Repub-
lican convention, is elected mayor of ST.
Louis by about 5000 majority, over
Hudson, the candidate of Democratic
and Republican "iusionists." A ma or.
ity OF the Republican city officers are
elected.
Returns from 60 precincts out Of the
total.l in Chicago give Heath, Republi

reelected without opposition.

Oakley Hall has arrived in England.
Therefore the country can rest assured
that he has neither committed suicide
nor been foully dealt with. A circum-
stance is quoted which may account for
his sudden exit from his native land by
an European-bound freight steamer. j;
is said that the ex-mayor lett the city and
the country as he did on account OF the
Tweed trial, and this may be made owl
dent TO all when the tall exposure OF

lie. A statement is made that as much
IS $4,000 was paid for getting through
the Tweed charter, and that members of
the observation-disclosures and Re-
publicans-shared alike. We hear also
of drafts as large ms $50. 600, and run
ming down from $4,000 to $4,000, as
having been paid by round about pro-
cess through parties who may not have
been directly interested, and every draft
must have borne tho namo of Mayor

liz Justice 10 Mr.. GoodnOw and Mr..
Dodge we will say they were not candi-
dates and their names were used against
their permission. We also understand
that MIR. Eberhart disclaims having au-
thorized or wished tho use OF bis name.
However, the mon on both tickets were
good men, and the city would undoubt-
oJIy have been well governed had the
ticket in opposition to the successful
ono carried the day. 1t will be observ.
cd that tho old council and mayor have
been reelected by overwhelming major
iiics. This is magnificent Endorsement
Of their administration of the last year.
The result speaks louder than any glow
ing eulogy which might be pronounced
upon their Official and individual excel
lcncics. Every member of the council
elect has good business qualifications.
All are large tax -payers, and thus have
the best interests of the city at heart.
Experienced in making wholesome laws
for the government of the city, they
will no doubt do even better during the
com ng year Gf it is possible) than dur
ing the year just closed. Mayor Rad
cliff. one of our best and most prominent
business men, is certainly n ost worthy
person 10 stand at the helm. His re-
election to the office he holds is a splen
did tributc the people haze paid TO his
worth. The youngest mayor the city
has ever had, he has shown that he truly
has an sold head" This is the first
time mayor of Salina has been elected
trics in succession. Only one other per-
son, ExMayor Bishop, has held this Of
fee twice. The bonds for Building the
engine house, council chamber, station
house, &c, carried by very fair major
ity, and thus the action Of tho old coun-
Gil in submitting the proposition is again
Endorsed.

where stock holders in oisomarearins
manufacturing companies appeared o.
disappointed Spectators, Who had lost
largely OF faith IN human nature, and in
money invested in the manufacture of
the new substitute for the most impor-
tant product OF he legitimate dairy, led
10 the belief that the oleo.1argarine
manufacture was "a failure. Bat the
proceedings OF the National Batter and
Egg Association, which held its fourth
annual convention in Chicago last week,
shows this superstition to have been un-
founded. At this convention one of the
speakers SAID the fraudulent butter was
making such serious inroadr upon the
trade that it became an important ques-
ton how 10 get it QUA of the market.
One firm in New York he said was max
/ 500 firkins per week of the stuff, which
was sold to hotels, restaurants and board
ing houses, and the worst of it was that
much OF the fraudulent substitute was
sold as the product of the western
creamerles. The manufacture OF this
stuff was extending into Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana and California, and as it was
generally sold and bought as pure bnt
ter, the convention sensibly came to the
conclusion that the only effective way
TO combat its further introduction wO1Id
be to raise the quality of the genuine
product o. the dairy to such standard
that it would be impossible for anyone
to mistake tho imitation for real butter.
