On Sunday, the 13th inst., an attempt was made to hold a conversation by tele phone between this city and St. Louis, distant four huudred and ten miles, which only failed on account of Manager Durant, of the St. Ixiuis exchange not coming to time. At the time the weather was mag nificent, and cireumstancesgenerally were propitious for a big test. It will be re membered that a conversation was at that time held between two stations eight miles apart by wire, with one of the talk ers three hundred feet from the trans mitter. On Sunday a second effort was made by the Omaha telephone men, and this time with perfect success. A battery of five jars, Laclanchc, was first put on, and St. Louis was called by telegraph, to which they responded that they were all ready and asked if they were all ready at this end. A sighel was then agreed upon on which the wire should be attached to the telephone, and at a proper moment it was done, and the usual greeting "Hello!" was sent over the liue, bringing back the same expressive and significent language in reply. "Is that you, Frauce!" "Yes." "How do you get me?" "Pretty well." Who is talking? What battery have you ou? and who is the officer were asked and answered. Although the conversation was under stood, it was not distinct enough to suit, and the battery wasjehanged and two Cel laud jars put on. After this it worked magnificently, Messrs. Korty and France both holding a satisfactory talk with Messrs. Durant aud Benedict of St. Louis. One of the St. Louis men then sang the "Sweet By and By" in a fine baritone voice, and it was distinctly heard by the Omaha boys who repeated it to St. Louis assure them that it had come plainly. Then France sang, '.l'm a Pilgrim and I'm a Stranger," which was received with applause by St. Louis. About this time the St. Louis talker got his mouth too close to the transmitter, and was prompt ly told to stand back about six inches when his voice became at once more audible. The test was made over the wires of the new American Union Company ; which are uninterrupted between this point and St. Louis, the line not yet being cut in to by any local office, and no other wires being on the poles. We are informed that such a feat would elsewhere, especially in the East, be impossible, as the number of wires elsewhere would be fatal to the transmission of the human voice, ou account of the induction. The dis tance to St. Louis is four hundred and ten miles, the longest ever comprehended in such a test, and after a two hours' ex periment the boys returned to this city highly delighted.— Omaha {Neb.) llttpubli can, Jan. 26th. The reciprocity business between Brad ford and Wayne is admirably kept up, even in such small matters ao the selection of delegates. Bradford, with her usual liberality, takes a delegate to the National Convention aud the elector, while under the conditions of the alliance Wayne gets the other delegate. The very slim honors of "alternate" are thrown as sops to Susquehanna and Wyoming- Once upon a time a diminutive animal attempted to swallow an object much beyond its capa city and met with disastrous result-. The Kepulicun party of Bradford county might profit by the example.—Tunkhan nock Republican. The most interesting feature of the Lincoln Club's anniversary celebration last evening was a remarkable speech by Mr. Beecher. He came out strongly for Grant, and was willing to give him not only a third term, but also a fourth and s fifth. Edwards Pierrepont and others also spoke warmly for Grant, and though it. was supposed to be a Lincoln celebra tion, there was much more Grant than Lincoln about it. BUSINESS LOCALS.
