The 'Limitation of the Telephone.
I Baltimore Gazette.
There appear to be some drawbacks
to the entire success of the telephone.
The experimental trial at Philadel
phia and New York, Monday evening,
demonstrated, among other things,
the following facts: First, the music
is audible only at the receiving end of
tie circuit. The audience at Stem
way Hall heard the air of "Home,
Sweet Home" very distinctly, but the
spectators who saw Prof. Boscovitz
plaving the piano at the Western
L'nion office, in Philadelphia, heard
nothing but the successive thuds of
the keys. Second, the telephone ad
mits only of the transmission of dis
tinct notes; it is not capable of repro
ducing a harmony, or combination of
sounds. So far as the music itself is
concerned, a child thumming some
well-known air with one hand would
afford quite as much entertainment.
It follows from these facts that the
telephone, although a marvel of in
vention, is still little more than a
scientific toy, to be admired, like
Maelzel's chess player, but of no pres
ent practical use. The principle which
it involves, however, is one of im
mense importance, and may yet be so
developed as to supersede the tele
graph sign manual with the human
voice.
A Model Diplomatic!.
0 the great man of the moment in
Europe, Gen. Ignatieff, an English
journal gives this lively account: "It
is necessary to have seen and heard
this wonderful diplomatist to under
stand with what marvellous facility
he dilates on the most varied themes.
Let ten visitors see him, and to each
of them he would describe a new pol
icy, maintaining only some general
points, which are for him like fixed
tlagstaffs,-;to which he attaches the
capricious streamers of his varied nar
ratives. Were the ten unfortunate
interviewers, on leaving him, to com
pare notes, they would be positively
amazed at the inexhaustible versatili
ty, which intentionally obscures ques
tions in proportion as it professes to
clear them up, and,- when it likes,
contuses the simplest things with the
air of explaining or commenting on
them. All this, too, is done in the
most naturally unpretentious fashion,
without any apparent subtlety, the
speaker looking you straight in the
ace, and with an animation and
tlueney seeming to exclude all possi
bility of plan. :
Rciurnlns to tbe Stage.
Mrs. Frost Thorn, whose maiden
name is Lillie Vining Davenport, a
'laughter of Mr. E. L. Davenport,
is about to make her re-entree on the
stage at McCullough's new theatre,
Baldwin's Opera house,San Francisco,
as leading lady. Inl871,while engaged
as an actress in Philadelphia, she
married Mr. Frost Thorn, a wealthy
Joung man, who was in business in
r &uy' ancl retired from the stage.
t Ihorn, it will be remembered,
Areri,d in the disaster to the yacht
ftonawk last July. Mrs. Thorn was
ielt with two young children, and,
Partly for a love of her prof ession and
tu Vrom a desire to be independent,
-nenas taken advantage of a very
beral offer made to her, and decided
return to the stage. Retaking her

A Very Novel Lawsuit.
A lawsuit over a meteor is an event
undoubtedly without a parallel in the
history of jurisprudence. Two years
ago last month a large meteor went
splurging around over Iowa, and
finally burst.to pieces in Iowa county.
A man named Mass found one of the
pieces, weighing some sevnty-five
pounds.on a road that he was traveling
over, and took it home, only to be soon
notified that it didn't belong to him,
but to a society which owned the
lands through which the road ran.
He refused to give it up, and the
society brought suit. Mass claimed
that it was his by right of discovery,
but the society insisted that it had
fallen on their land and belonged to
the realty by accretion from .natural
causes, and the court sustained this
view.
A Guinea Is scarce Yellower
Than the complexion of a person becomes who
omits to regulate his liver when that important
gland grows neglectful of its secretive function.
Moreover, the stomach uader such circumstances
becomes disordered, the Dowels are constricted,
pains in tho side and under the thouldsr blades are
felt, the head aches, and the nervous system shares
In the general derangement. This concatenation of
evils is, howcver.easily remediable with that match
less regulating tonic, Hestetter'B Stomach Bitter?,
which insures the secretion and flow of healthy bile,
acts gently but effectually upon the bowels, and re
moves every symptom of nervous or digestive trou
ble. The result is that renewed tone is given to the
entire system; the sallow, haggard appearance of
the face to which biliousness gives rise is superse
ded by the glow of health, and the frame gains in
substance as well as vigor.
Our quotations, it eaouid be understood, rev
resent the wholesale prices generally. In making
up small orders higher prices have to be charged.

PROSPECTUS.
The Raleigh Observer.
ON THS 16TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1876,
and in the city of RALEIGH, the undersigned
will commence the publication of
The Observer,
a DAILY and WEEKLY Democratic newspaper.
Of long experience m their profession as editors,
respectively of the Fayetteville Observes and the
Wilmington Jottekal, they do not affect to doubt
the soundness of the general judgment which aa
signs them ability to furnish a newspaper suited to
the needs and adapted to the tastes of the people of
North Carolina. Differing in politics in the olden
time, there was never a difference between the Ob
server and the Journal in zeal for the interests
and honor of North Carolina. To promote the one,
and to uphold and add to the other will be the ob
ject of the Oeserver now.
Of very decided opinions on quesfioni of public
interest, and apt to give those opinions plain ex
pression, they deem it the first duty of a newspaper
to furnish its readers with the information necessa
ry to the" formation of their opinions, to publish
all "the news;" and their purpose is to make The
OBSERVER-now. as of old. a truthful, accurate, con
densed history of the times in which we live. It
was thus that "the old observer" won its noia up
on the Deople of North Carolina, enjoying the affec
tion of its party friends, receiving the respect and
confidence of its bitterest political foes, and com
manding in its comparatively isolated location a
circulation larger than has ever been attained by
any other North Carolina newspaper, and it is thus,
by like dignity and fairness that the editors of The
Observer, transferred to the State Capital, hope it
will deserve, and soon equal, and then surpass, its
former circulation and prosperity.
It will be t heir hiah aim to deserve the public con
ndence by earnest efforts to promote the public wel
fare, first and foremost of North Carolina, next of
all the Southern States, anc1 finally, and through
these, of the whole Union. They think that this
can only be effected by the prevalence of Democra
tic principles and the dismissal of the Radical party
from the places and power which they have so great
ly abused, and under whose baleful rule the South
nas Deen outraged ana ine wnoie country nas oeen
impoverished and disgraced
