the demand for honest money and

can mistake them. The Democrats

should be present. In the Ronish
Church there are three kinds of consis-
tories-one i'll which the Pope presides
In full pontifical robes, and which is
celebrated with great pomp and ceremo-
ny in public; the second is composed
exclusively of Cardinals, and is secret;
the third is semi-secret, and for DELHI.

The Telephone.


The telephone is a success, and as
such entitled to public favor as Il tri-
umph of science. Recent experiments
ut OF lear Boston,carried on by persons
six miles apart. under the supervision
of Professor Bell, the inventor, fully
demonstrated the facility with which
the human voice in ordinary CONVERSE
tion or in song, or instrumental music,
MAY be tr.~. nsported over intervening
space for long distances by means of
wires. The following is Il description
of this improvement in telegraphy:
The telephone, in its pres mt form, con-
sists of a powerful, compound, perma-
nent magnet, to the poles of which are
attached ordinary telegraph coils of i'll
sulated wire. In front of these poles
surrounded by these coils of wire, is
placed a diaphragm of iron. A mouth
piece to converge the sound upon this
diaphragm substantially completes the
arrangement. AS is well known, the
motion of steel or iron i'll front of the
poles of a magnet creates a current of
electricity in the coils surrounding the
poles of the magnet. and the duration
of the m ,tion of the steel or iron moved
or vibrated in tine proximity vi tine mag
net. When the human voice causes
the diaphragm to vibrate, electrical un-
dulations are induced in the coils envir-
oring the magnets precisely analogous
