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.

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.

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 PETER M.

C. THE OBSERVER -VJ-EEDS NO FORMAL STATEMENT OF PRIN 1" ciples, nor elaborate recital of what it will do, or oxpects to do, in the coming year. It can offer no stronger guarantee for its future than is afforded by its past conduct. It will labor earnestly and faithfully for the advancement of the Democratic party, and for the good of the State, which it be lieves to be one and inseparable. To this end is desired at once a largely increased circulation for THE OBSERVER, and the whole some literature it is giving to the people of North Carolina. Once in a household, THE OBSERVER becomes a fixture. It needs only to be seen to make its way into every nook and corner of the State.
