Not a New Thing.

Now we are told that the telephone
is not new thing. Professor Charles
Page, OF Salem, Mass., while expert.
menting with reduced electricity, pro-
duced some instruments which made
musical tones, and he published at the
time an article on "Galvanic Music''
in Silliman's Magazine. The same
was rediscovered by Morgan, in Eng
land The recent discovery, that not
only one musical note, but any number,
can be transmitted, was made by Pro-
lessor Bell, Professor Gray and a gen.
tleman in Copenhagen. Professor Bell
tried his telephone, the other night, in
Boston, and Brignoli was heard faint
ly singing in Providence, but Mr..
Watson, Professor Bells assistant, was
heard plainly singing in Somerviile.
A coruet solo, played in SomerviIle,
four miles distant, was also distinctly
heard.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ORGANIZATION.

At the time Congress adjourned, the
general belief both in aud out OF the
house was, that the inevitable extra
session would be called in May. After
q considerable lapse of time, it was de
termined to defer the call until June
18th. Still organization matters were
not ripe enough TO suit the admin istra-
ton, and partial cabinet meeting
agreed to defer the call until October

no one can or will deny. Mr. Hayes
would willingly send a half dozen Pack
ards and Chamberlains to the wall
every day for the time intervening, to
secure this result He dares brave the
contumely of the unpaid officers and
servants of the government to effect
this. IL is either this, or he is in with the

With a democratic majority and or

mate defeat of the republican party is
only question of time. They know
this as well as we do, and hence, the
bland approaches of the administration

and the democratic party generally.
The great fear is that another electoral
commission may stand eight to seven,
with the majority on the wrong ride for
them. This must be prevented, and
hence. the political heads of Packard
and Chamberlain must roll from the
scaifold, even At the imminent risk of
the ripping up of the frauds of the

both Hayes and Packard were elected.
