A Successful paper.—T he Youth's Compan¬ 
ion of Boston is one of the most entertaining sheets 
in the coutry. It has twice the circulation of any 
similar publication, and unquestionably merits Us 
success. _^_

We are constantly hearing of some new and 
wonderful Invention or discovery, such as the 
Telephone, Phonograph, Electric Light, £c„ 
which tends to revolutionize all the old-fashion¬ 
ed Ideas of what is what. The principal draw¬ 
back to the use of these new appliances has been 
the considerable outlay necessary for their Intro¬ 
duction ; but this dlfheulty as regards the Tele¬ 
phone has been satisfactorily overcome. A Bos¬ 
ton firm has succeeded In producing an Instru¬ 
ment that works one mile, which they are able 
to sell for $3 complete, A description of the in¬
