The Triumph of the Telephone.

On Saturday last the Bell Company
placed a Blake transmitter in Grace
Episcopal] Church attaching it to ono of
the lecterns, and connecting it by wire
with one Of the simple Bell hand tcle-
phone in the residence of a cit
izcn near the lower end Of High
street. The transmitter is enclos-
cd in a little box Of polished
walnut, and occupies 50 small a space
that its presence OH the lcctcrn in front
Of the minister is hardly noticed by the
congregation. Asn!a!l insulated covered
wire runs down the side OF the lectern
to the carpctcd- ond thence along
0ncof the chancel steps to the wall, and
out through Il minute gimlet hole in the
window frame where tits connected with
the main wire, which crosses the street
and runs along from roof to roof OF the
houses to its tcrlninuS-the chamber OF
an invalid lady who, for ten years past, by
reason of sickness, has been dcbarred the
blcssingsand privileges Of the service OF
her church, and the comforts and instrnc-
ton of the of her pastor. one
can better imagine than describe the Joy
Gus feeling which she experienced alter
so long Il deprivation ut being once more
able to hear and take part in the services,
even III SO great Il UlSIdllCC. LAilU you IL
was not without some fears, as she took
hold of the phone, that her pleasant an
tiGipationS might not be wholly realized.
\ few minutes before ii o'clock she
placed the phone to her car. The first
sounds were the voices Of the II or two
hundred children in the Sunday school
in the basement OF the church as they
joined in singing Of the CLOSING hymn-the
air coming clcarand distinct. Then came
over the wire the deep tones of the church
bell, calling the people to Worship. y
few moments pause and tho notes OF the
organ came soft and clear, and then was
heard the voice of the minister, Rev. DIR.
Gibson, as he read "The Lord is III His
holy TcInplc-lct all the earth keep 81
lcncc before Him'-clcar and distinct as
though the speaker and listener had been
in the same room. And thence on to tho
close of the service. everything that. was
spoken or sung in the churcll-the pray
ers. tho lessons, the litany, the hymns,
the sermon, the bencdiction-all were
heard with remarkable d%istinctncss and
expression. Scarcely Il word from the
minister or q note from the choir was lost
The lady had her PRAYER book and Bible
and hvnnal before her and made the re-
sponscs with the congregation. The sue
was complete. Petersburg Indc1

Grants Reception.

The programme for the reception OF
| General Grant upon his arrival in Sar
Francisco, has been satisfactorily arranged
Several minor details are as yet incomplete,
but the general outline is as follows:
l. AS the steamer approaches the Farra-
bone islands, 80 miles out from the entrance
to the harbor of San Francisco, she will be
met by convoy of 80 men of war, built
! by Robeson-provided the sea be calm
enough to let them go out that far Robson
himself will accompany them; but for
safety, will be borne out on a small tug.
The squadron will fire a salute of blank
cartridges loaded with United States con-
tract powder-a thimbleful of real powder
being inserted in the touch-hole at the time
of firing, to make the report audible.
2. On the way iu, salutes will be fired by
the batteries at Fort Point, Lime Point,
Black Point, and Alcatraz. Forty-nino
guns will constitute the salute--one more
than was fired for Kalakua, in 1874. The
military will then turn ont, the militia be-
ing under command of General McComb,
the hero of the AmadOc war, General Bclk-
nap, with an efficient corps of post-traders
as aids. will act rs Field-marsi al of the
day. General Babcock will command the
New Jersey troops. The Royal airs, when
Johnny Comes Marching Home, and ''Set
'em Up Again, will be played at appropri-
ate times.
3. A committee af eminent citizens,
headed by Hon. Dennis Kearney will wait
upon the General at the landing, and pre-
sent him with a gold box containing the
freedom of the city, half pound of sand
from the sand lots, and a smuggled cigar.
He will then be escorted to the Palace Hotel,
where Jim Casey will pull his boots off for
him and put him to bed.
4. The evening will be devoted to the re-
ception of private embassies from various
political centres, followed up by a serenade-
>. On the day following, the excursion
lists of the 1. o. B. A. Z. T., Independent
Order of Brotherly and Political Tramps)

and welcome the General homo in time for
the campaign of 1880, in which he is not TO 4
take part. Kearney street Will be lined I
with free lunch tables, and all the barrooms
on Market street will be opened gratuitous- 4
ly to grace this auspicious occasion. Freddy .
will be taken charge of by a special com
mittec of ladies'. In the evening, if the
General be not too full for utt,nnco, he
will address the populace.
6. There will then follow three days Of
general public rejoicing at the expense Of
