TELEPHONES.

Last week Mir. George H. Browne put up telephone, connecting the BEE office with the office of the Grand Central Hotel, and it works to charm. The instru- ment consists of two tin lobster cans with a piece of drum head drawn tightly over the bottom and fastened. A stout fish line conveys the sound. The tele- phone has been an object of great inter est. MT. Libby played several pieces on his flute while standing in the BEE office which was heard distinctly in the of1ic of the hotel.

On the recent voyage Of the ship Lake Erie
OF the Beaver line, Capt Sclatter. from Liver
pool to this port, when about 100 miles off
Bermuda, bark was sighted apparently aban-
doned. The ship was hove to and boat sent
aboard, when no living thing was found. The
bark was good sizsd and nearly new. There
was no cargo, bnt she was in ballast and had
four feet of water in the hold The rudder had
been carried away and temporary one had
been rugged, but not adjusted, as it lay on the
top of the house, 1t was thought that the
crew had abandoned her on account of the loss
of the rudder, as it is very difficult natter to
adjust rudder at sea. Two boats had been
taken. A rope ladder hung over the side.
The matches had been left open, and the sails
left flying. The latter were torn into ribbons.
1t was decided to destroy the vessel by burn
ing or scottlng according to the law of nations
which is that vessels found drifting shall be
destroyed if they cannot be saved or lowed in
to port Tar was spread on the deck and roof
of the cabin and set on fire. The Lake Erie
set sail and before che got out Of sight in the
ofing the IRE was seen to blaza up to the ton
of the rigging and the masts fall. The nam
OF the bark was not ascertained
