Yesterday by way of amusement,
the attaches Of the telephone Of
fee here made connection with
the San Diego telegraph wires and
carried on a conversation between
the two points. Mr.. e. F. Spence
and several other ABgelefIos were
present in the Sat Diego Office.

seventy miles. This experiment
proves that 1t Is but a question of
time before the telephone will be
made available for long as well az
short distances.

1t Is a very pleasant thing to
Know that the righteous are occa.

mundane sphere. The genial pro-
prietor of the Centineia rancho,
Mr.. D. Freeman, discarding his
Canadian law practice and his
Eastern iron-works, both of the

and travelling expenses. 1t Is
equally little wonder that. even in
this present year of deferred rain.
