The specification forming part of letters patent is dated March 7, 1STC. The whole gist of Professor Bell's claims is First, a system of telegraphy in which the receiver is set in vibration by the employment of undulatory currents of electricity.

Second, the combination of a permanent magnet or other body capable of inductive action, with a closed circuit, so that the vibration of the one shall occasion electrical undulations in the other, or in itself. Third, method of producing undulations in a continuous voltaic current by the vibration motion of bodies capable of inductive action. Fourth, the method of, and apparatus for, transmitting vocal or other sounds labor in the state prison for 20 ears. liOBliEES FiH STKATED. Soiin Fkamixojum, Sept.

Cheer after cheer burst from the assembled thousands as the vessel slowly rounded Telegraph Hill and the sound was taken up by the crowd on the wharves and rolled around the city front while hats and handkerchiefs waved in the air.

The United States steamer Monterey added the roar of her guns to the general welcome, and the screaming of hundreds of steam whistle announced that the City of Tokio had reached her anchorage. The crowds assembled on the hills and along the city front now with common impulse began to pour along towards the place where Grant was to land. The sidewalks were blocked with hurrying pedestrians and the streets with carriages conveying the committees. The steamers and yachts made haste to land their passengers, and in a few minutes the vicinity of the landing was literally jammed with people extending for blocks. A space was cleared by the police and marshals in which hundreds of carriages for the use of guests were crowded, and outside that line a line of troops and civic organizations was ranged, while outside, constantly increasing, surged and pressed an excited and enthusiastic crowd, cheering at intervals and waiting impatiently for the first glimpse of 1 he honored guest.

Within the gates of the fern- house were assembled the gentlemen charged with the duty of the immediate reception to Gen. Grant. The board of supervisors ranged on the left of the gangway and Governor Irwin and staff and the executive committee, consisting of Governor elect Perkins, and other prominent citizens occupied the right. Mayor liryant taking a position about half way down the centre gangway. Gen.

Grant and party with the reception committee, Gen. McDowell and stall and others were transferred to the steamer Oakland. Considerable delay occurred during which the crowd outside cheered and shouted themselves hoarse, and it seemed at times as though, in their impatience, they would break through the lines. Darkness had fallen and it was twenty minutes past seven when the lights of the Oakland were seen approaching the slip. She moved slowly into position the platform was lowered, the band struck up '-Home Again," and amid roars of ap plause from the crowd outside, OEX.

CRANT stepped ASHORE. After brief and informal congratulations the mayor delivered an address of welcome, alluding with pride to the honors received by Gen. Grant, and tendered him the freedom and hospitality of the city. Grant responded as follows "Mr. Mayor, I accept with pleasure your invitation to become the guest of your citizens during my brief stay in San Francisco.

It will afford me great pleasure to observe after the lapse of a quarter of a ccntury the marvelous growth of vour city, of which I have heard and read so much and I have no doubt when I come to see for my self I will find I had but a faint idea of the changes and prosperity of your ity. I again ask you to express to the citizens of San Fraeniseo my sincere appreciation of the compliment of this reception." He was then conducted to a carriage, the Mayor accompanying him, when the various committees and other gentlemen in atten dance repaired to their own carriages. The gates of the dock were thrown open and the vehicles moved forward and took their places in line. As the carriage containing Gen. Grant appeared, cheers went up from thousands, while the crowd pressed forward and swayed from side to side in efforts to obtain a passing glance of him.

With the greatest difficulty a passage was opened, the procession formed and the line of march was taken up, and amid tremendous cheers, the discharge of cannon, the ringing of bells, and the screaming of whistles the procession started up Market street. Bonfires blazed at the street corners and illuminations lit up every window and the glare of lJoman caudles and electric lights made the broad thoroughfare as bright as The pr occssion included soldiers and sailors of the late war including ex-confederates veterans of the Mexican war as a guard of honor veterans of the war of 1812; regular troops of the United States army various military and civic organizations, state officials, army and navy officers, United States Judges and other officials, congressmen and city and eour.ty officers. The procession was fifteen blocks long and 7,000 persons participated in it. The procession moved under a continuous archway of flags and banners and festoons and draperies. Cheers rolled along the whole line of march and almost drowned the martial strains from the numerous bands.

The cross streets were also decorated and in the Chinese quarter from hundreds of staffs great dragon flags Haunted, beside the stars and stripes. At the Palace Hotel a magnificent arch forty feet high spanned New Montgomery street, blazoned with the national colors and bearing the inscription to Grant." at this point the carriage containing Gen. Grant was drawn up, while the procession marched in review, cheers rending the air as division af I er division passed by. On the conclusion of the review the various organiza tions were dismissed and Gen. Grant conduct ed to his quarters in the hotel.

All the streets leading to the hotel were packed and the procession forced its way with difficulty. Thousands clamored for admittance, but I lie police denied ingress to all but those holding special permits. Within the court was brilliant lighted and densely thronged. As Gen. Grant hurried to his room a chorus of five hundred voices sang an oJe of welcome.

As soon as the review was finished and the various divisions had disbanded, the soldier and sailor veterans of the late war repaired succession of cheers. WLea the noise subsided, he said 'Fellow citizens of San Francisco After twenty-five years of absence I am glad to meet you and assure yoti of my cordial thanks for the kind greeting you have given me. I shall stay in your city long enough to greet yon morefully." The General then withdrew amid prolonged andtremendouscheeringand the crowdreluc-tantly scattered. ESTIITSIASM ELSEWnEP.E. Depatchcs from the interior cities and towns of California and Nevada announce the news that Grant's arrival is received with demonstrations ouly second to the reception here.

Flags are flying, streets are decorated, and guns are booming, and there are parades, bonfires, fireworks, and every token of joy and enthusiasm. General Grant is looking extremely well, and expressed satisfaction with the experience of his trip and his surprise at the tremendous demonstration that greeted his arrival home. His weight during his trip abroad has been reduced from 180 to 159. The passage from Yokohama was very pleasant. 1IIS DEI'ARTTRE FROM YOKOHAMA was attended with a most elaborate cere mony, and everything that the Japanese government could devise in the way of honoring the distinguished guest.

When General Grant and suite left the mikado's palace they were accompanied by the entire cabinet and all the foreign ministers. Troops lined the way to the station and as the steamer passed out of the harbor salutes were fired from every battery and all the vessels in the bay. On the voyage hither the General passed the time in reading, occasionally joining briefly in socia converse. Young Ulysses was greeted by his father and mother after their long separation with the warmest affection. The part- on leaving the City of Tokio bade a cordial good-bye to their fellow passengers.

During the day Gen. Grant made 110 other public appearance than to ride in the park with the mayor at seven this evening. A curious crowd thronged the court and corriders of the hotel during the day. wr-s visi to j.tp.w. HE RKCEIVES CNi'RECEDENTED HONORS.

Yokohama, Sept. 8. Gen. Grant sails for America after a series of demonstrations un-parlleled in Japan. The entire nation was roused to enthusiasm by his presence.

The citizens of Tokio expended upwards of in his entertainment, and the government officials exhausted every means of manifesting their respect and confidence. Gen. Grant's visit leaves a marked and lasting impression upon the destinies of the empire. Theemperor repeatedly visited him to consult on public questions. Grant's counsel throughout advised a firm spirit of inde-pendance and absolute resistance to the aggressive policy pursued by many European representatives.

During his stay in the capital of Japan Gen. Grant's time was almost constantly held by the native offcials, and he was obliged to decline nearly all private hospitalities. It was proposed to stop the City of Tokio at Honolulu. Gen. Grant desiring to visit the Sandwich Islands.

This being impossible, Admiral Patterson offered tlie steamship tor tlie voyage but arrangements for bis departure were already completed. A HOAX. During Grant's sojourn in Tokio a hoax was practised by circulating a private memorial to the emperor threatening death to all visitors. This is known lobe the work of foreigners, but owing to the extradition laws the Japanese authorities cannot pursue their investigation and the perpetrators will probably escape punishment, fuo.u yoisk. the ukese market lively.

The strong European demand and the small stock on hand has caused a very active cheese market. Since the oth of September the price has risen from 5i to 10 cents per pound.

Sept. 20. A special from San Praiicisco says it is reported that the steamer City of Tokio, with Orant abroad, is sighted off the Heads. Sax Fkaxcisoo, Sept. CI.

-Immediately on receipt of luMiew that the steamer City of Tokio was Hearing the port last evening, the reception committee, Frank M. Paxlcy, General Miller and P. 15. Cornwall, started in a tug to meet the incoming steamer. Several mile3 outside the Heads the tug met the Tokio coming in.

The Un? drew alongside and the executive committee, quarantine ollicer and customs officials and a num ber of representatives of the press boarded. No ceremony was observed except a general shaking of hands and after the committee announced the object of their visit and informed General Grant of the reception prepared for him the conversation became general. Soon after the government steamer McPherson came alongside and Ma jor General McDowell, commanding the division of the Pacific, accompanied by his stalT, boarded the Tokio, and rejoined his old comrade in arms. The general committee of arrangements, with several thousand invited guests, assembled on the Pacific mail steamer China, and a number of smaller steamers, while tugs took the squadrons of Sun Francisco and Pacific yacht chflis in tow and started down tlie channel toward the City (if Tokio. Men, women and children sought posit ions from which viewsof thenaval pageant could be obtained.

Every eminence commanding the channel was black with as sembled thousands, and the sea wall at the north point and every pier head was covered with spectators. The sun was declining in the west as the steamers and yachts, gay with bunting, moved down the channel, but the bay was bathed in sunlight. From every flag staff in Ilie city flags were living, and the shipping along the city front was brilliantly decked with ensigns, Hags and streamers. The impatient crowds that covered the hill tops stood with straining eyes to catch the first glimpse of the Tokio. At half past five a pufT of white smoke arose from the seaward front of the earthworks back of and above Fort Point, and the booming of a heavy gun announced the steamer near at hand.

Another and another boom followed in rapid succession. Fort Point next joined in the cannonade and the battery at Lime Point added its thunders to the voice of welcome. In a few moments the en- trance to the was veiled in wreaths of smoke, and as the batteries of Ansel Island. Black Point and Aleatross opened fire in succession, the whole channel was soon shrouded in clouds from their rapid i discharges. For some time the position of Our Fire Department was never in so good condition as at present, both as to resources, apparatus and efficiency as will be seen at to-morrow's drill.

We learn that the Burlington Chess and Checker Club have made arrangements with Burlington and Lamoille and Central Vermont and also the Portland and Ogdens-burg railways for return checks to those attending the coming tournament, commencing Tuesday evening next. Checks will be furnished by the secretary of the club. Narrow Escape. At Swanton, Saturday morning, the Portland and Ogdensburg train, starting out, was thrown from the track a misplaced switch at the west end of the bridge across the Missisquoi, and if the locomotive had gone ten feet further it would have gone down the embankment into deep water and doubtless hauled the train after. it was, no one was hurt and the damage slight.

'1 had heard a good deal of the beauty of Burlington, said a traveller to Landlord Drew of the American, the other day, "and came here expressly to see it. It is a beautiful city, with scenery as fin? as any I ever saw, and I have tiavelled a good deal. seems to have a good many nice places in also, with handsome grounds. But they hid behind tall hedges. The taste and elegance is here, but it can't be seen.

Don't your people know that they are behind the times? that in the best kept places now-a-days, the owners of nice residences are taking down the front hedges and even the fences, anil throwing their grounds open to view and enjoyment of the public It would greatly improve your city if there Avas a hedge in it."

This occurred while the lady was returning from church, and the villain took hold of her and prevented her from screaming by placing his hands over her mouth but she finally got away from him.

The same evening another lady was assaulted in the same manner, but made a violent defence Avith aa umbrella anil drove the fellow off. These assaults presumably occurred in the thickly settled portions of the village and at a reasonably early hour, and yet in both cases the ladies had considerable trouble in lidding themselves of their tormentors, and in neither did any help appear. whieh speaks ill for the police regulations of that village, to sav the least. The White River Valley Faip. at Bethel was favored with pleasant weather and a larger attendance on the third and last day than the previous days.

The principal attractions for the crowd were the wrestling match and the game of lacrosse as played by the Indians, Avho proved themselves very active and skilful, awakening much more interest than on the previous day. The contest between Geo. Flagg of Eraintrce and C. G. Burt of Boston was short and sharp, Flagg proving too much for his opponent, throwing him twice upon his back, in 00 minutes.

Mr. Flagg then gave notice that he was ready to wrestle with any man in New England for 300. The fair Avas a success financially the first that has paid expenses for some years. The address of ex-Gov. Smith is most highly spoken of and appreciated by every one Avho heard it, and cannot fail to give a new impetus to thought and action in the right direction.

The Play To-night. Of course all our theatre loving people Avill bear in mind the famous play of "Unknown," to be presented by John A. Stevens and a first-class company at the lloAvard Opera House, to-night. The drama has received the highest praise of press and public, and the company, Ave are assured, is one of the finest on the road; and those who do not attend will miss a most enjoyable entertainment. The Chicago Tribune savs If there was any disappointment felt last night, in respect to Mr.

Stevens, it was doubtless of the agreeable kind, which is felt when the object of it more than fulfils the expectations formed of him. There are strong passions and intense feeling to be portrayed, and here bis ability and strength are very decided. There are love, jealous-, remorse and unspeakable joy. All these are effectively and vividly rendered, and the pathetic passages especially so. Mr.

Stevens lias a magnificent physique and a deep rich voice to correspond. Carlotta is a sprightly little lady, Avho perhaps does not impress you strongly at first, but she rapidly rises into favor with every scene, and when the play is over, everybody, willing or unwilling, has become an enthusiastic admirer of her. The Listrict Telephone. ITS HISTORY and practical working. Tlu telephone dates back but three years for it was only so recently that the first practical instrument began its existence and yet to-day, so great and obvious are its advantages and utilities, not less than one hundred thousand are in operation all over the country.

Nearly all the larger cities have their telephone companies, and the private lines are almost beyond computation. Simple as the contrivance is, it is one of the wonders of the time, and its invention and use marks an epoch which is destined to be looked back upon a3 we now look back upon the establishment of the rail-! road system.

the just by I As was I It it. are the not 00 at telegraphically by causing electrical undulations, similar in form to the vibrations of the accompanying the vibrations." In a word, Professor Bell discovered that electrical current had the power to transmit articulate speech. The first practical test of the telephone was made at Philadelphia, during the Centennial Exposition, in the presence of Sir William Thomson and other prominent scientific men. experiments proving entirely successful, company under the name of the Bell Telephone Company was at once organized and began to supply the instruments to the pub-lie. The establishment of the American Telephone Company followed.

There are thirty or forty different styles of instruments now in use, but there is really only one kind in principle, or rather two magneto-telephone and the carbon telephone. The former is used cither as a transmitter or receiver, and the latter only as a transmitter. The most common style is Bell telephone proper. This instrument about eight inches long, lie magnet runs nearly the entire length, and only one pole is used. This telephone, like most of the others, used as a receiver in connection with the Edison carbon telephone or the Blake transmitter.

Other telephones, not in very general use, are the Crown, the Pony Crown, Double Crown and the Duplex. None of the companies sell any of their instruments, renting them, only, a fixed sum per month or year. A good telephone can, however, be made for less than one dollar, although an hundred could expended in the manufacture of a single one. It has, perhaps, been noticed that there are several firms throughout the country who advertise what they call telephones for one, two, or three dollars. many cases the articles are genuine Bell instruments but they come in pieces, for the patent Avill not allow their manufacture by unauthorized persons.

One party Avill sell "the frame, another the magnet and the diaphragm, and the buyer puts them together. I lie so-called telegraph," sold in the toy-shops, though literally a telephone, has little connection with the instruments in practical use. And now something as to the practical working of the telephone system in this city. Radiating from the central ollice, over Vincent, Tuft store, are a great number of wires. Each of these connects some haif a dozen houses and stores with the central office and each is called a "circuit." Each person on each circuit has a particular call for instance three taps on the bell, three taps and, after a moment, a fourth.

and so on. To converse with any one on your own circuit, then, it is only necessary to strike the proper signal. But for a person on another circuit, one must call the central office, giving the attendant there your name and that of the party you wish to call up. In that office an arrangement on exactly the same principle as a telegraph switch-board, the idea being to connect the two circuits or wires by a movable piece of steel made for the purpose. This the attendant puts in position, thus connecting the desired Avircs, and then lets the parties "go as they This may seem complicated, but it is ex tremely simple when understood, and the changes are made in less time than is taken to tell it.

Most of the lines in use are work ed over circuits of from a quarter of a mile to four times that length, the longest being that running to Bronsons, Weston, Dunham tt ofiice. The telephone, however. works equally at a much greater distance. A conversation can be easily carried on between the telegraph offices in this city and St. Albans and words have been sent with great distinctness over two hundred miles of Avire indeed it is said that the telephone works better over long circuits than over very short ones.

Of the utility and convenience of the telephone it is hardly necessary to speak and of its future, who can tell Avhat it Avill be? The Western Union Telegraph Company, when the telephone was first introduced, on being asked for the use of their wires, said, yes, you can have the wires to try your toyft." To place any limit upon this recent discovery is to be as unwise as those who less than a half century ago mocked the very idea of telegraphy.
